Cults of Unreason and the End of Species (Jun 30 2007 06:59 GMT) - People today seem perplexed as civilisation as we know it plummets into the abyss. Yet, in the broad sense, the future is entirely predicable.

Wikify the problem of ending corruption (Jun 30 2007 06:33 GMT) - Cory Doctorow: Earlier this month, I wrote about Larry Lessig's announcement that he was switching his focus to fighting corruption. Larry has just left on his annual month-long Internet fast/family retreat (of all his inspirational examples, this might be the most inspirational), but he's left a wiki up for his friends and fellow travellers to start wikifying the problem of overturning institutional corruption. When I talked to Larry about this move, he blue-skyed a neat little idea that's stuck with me: what if lawmakers were required to abstain from votes over issues in which they had a financial interest? |

Winnipeg Demands Immobilizers on High-Risk Cars (Jun 30 2007 06:23 GMT) - mytrip writes with a Reuters article about a new, unusual insurance requirement for drivers in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Apparently Winnipeg is one of the worst cities in Canada for auto thefts. New and 'high-risk' cars will now be required to install an electronic immobilizers in order to qualify for car insurance. "Chomiak said cars are stolen twice as often in Winnipeg as in other Manitoba cities, while a 2005 report from Statistics Canada said the city had a higher per-capita car theft rate than larger cities like Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto. The province, where cars are insured through Manitoba Public Insurance, will fork over C$15 million ($14 million) so that owners without immobilizers can have them installed. |
