Technoromanticism: Digital Narrative,Holism, and the Romance of the Real,by R. Coyne

This article explores the relevance of social engineering for the postindustrial epoch. The concept of social engineering has been dormant in recent years, stained by the behavior of police states in the 20th century. Yet stripped of its excesses, social engineering still represents a defensible moral and political enterprise. What is needed for the 21st century, however, is a chastened, deontological theory of social engineering, one that accepts the inviolability of the person while still pursuing ambitious long-term teleological strategies through state action. For its content, progressive information society policy should revisit the ethical norms developed by the left-liberal tradition, as articulated by the late John Rawls and others. The article concludes that the information age offers a new opportunity to engineer a just social order, or, at any rate, that the policymaking community needs to reevaluate the idea of social engineering.     

真实盈余管理与R&D支出——一个创业板上市公司的经验证据

以2010—2013年间我国创业板上市公司763个样本进行实证分析,讨论真实盈余管理与RD支出之间的关系。研究发现,真实盈余管理与创业板上市公司间存在显著的负相关关系,即真实盈余管理程度越高,则创业板上市公司的RD支出程度就越少;同时还发现上市公司中存在真实盈余管理的零阈值差异。

跨越数字鸿沟共享数字福利——基于身份认同的差异进路

随着大数据和人工智能技术的不断发展,社会生活及其管理日趋智能化.但是,数字技术却并未让每个个体同等受益,因而在数字领域出现了不同形式的"数字鸿沟".这不仅让不平等进入到数字领域,也加剧了社会领域的不平等,增加了社会分裂的风险.于是,人们试图通过给个体赋能去弥合"数字鸿沟",但这一进路将个体仅仅视作抽象的"数据或技术使用者",遭遇了"普遍主义政治"的困境.鉴于此,基于身份认同的差异进路主张让每个个体如其所是地进入到数字领域,在算法设计、数据收集、采样测试等环节都承认诸身份认同的价值.只有当诸身份认同在数字领域得到尊重、其价值得以承认时,赋能的背景框架方能夯实,赋能进路才能落到实处,真正跨越数字鸿沟、实现数字福利共享.     

Real character-friends: Aristotelian friendship, living together, and technology

Aristotle??s account of friendship has largely withstood the test of time. Yet there are overlooked elements of his account that, when challenged by apparent threats of current and emerging communication technologies, reveal his account to be remarkably prescient. I evaluate the danger that technological advances in communication pose to the future of friendship by examining and defending Aristotle??s claim that perfect or character-friends must live together. I concede that technologically-mediated communication can aid existing character-friendships, but I argue that character-friendships cannot be created and sustained entirely through technological meditation. I examine text-based technologies, such as Facebook and email, and engage a non-text based technology that poses the greatest threat to my thesis??Skype. I then address philosophical literature on friendship and technology that has emerged in the last decade in Ethics and Information Technology to elucidate and defend my account by contrast. I engage Cocking and Matthews (2000), who argue that friendship cannot be created and sustained entirely through text-based contact, Briggle (2008), who argues that friendship can be created and sustained entirely through text-based contact, and Munn (2012), who argues that friendship cannot be created and entirely sustained through text-based contact but can be created and sustained entirely in immersive virtual worlds. My account discusses a certain kind of friendship, character-friendship, and a certain kind of technology, Skype, that these accounts do not. Examination of these essays helps to demonstrate that character friendship cannot be sustained entirely by technologically-aided communication and that character-friends must live together.     

Real time search on the web: Queries,topics, and economic value

Real time search is an increasingly important area of information seeking on the Web. In this research, we analyze 1,005,296 user interactions with a real time search engine over a 190 day period. Using query log analysis, we investigate searching behavior, categorize search topics, and measure the economic value of this real time search stream. We examine aggregate usage of the search engine, including number of users, queries, and terms. We then classify queries into subject categories using the Google Directory topical hierarchy. We next estimate the economic value of the real time search traffic using the Google AdWords keyword advertising platform. Results shows that 30% of the queries were unique (used only once in the entire dataset), which is low compared to traditional Web searching. Also, 60% of the search traffic comes from the search engine’s application program interface, indicating that real time search is heavily leveraged by other applications. There are many repeated queries over time via these application program interfaces, perhaps indicating both long term interest in a topic and the polling nature of real time queries. Concerning search topics, the most used terms dealt with technology, entertainment, and politics, reflecting both the temporal nature of the queries and, perhaps, an early adopter user-based. However, 36% of the queries indicate some geographical affinity, pointing to a location-based aspect to real time search. In terms of economic value, we calculate this real time search stream to be worth approximately US $33,000,000 (US $33 M) on the online advertising market at the time of the study. We discuss the implications for search engines and content providers as real time content increasingly enters the main stream as an information source.
