Everything can — and will — be manipulated. June 6, 2013. Well, not “everything”. But every measure on which decisions of value depend (e.g., book purchases, dating opportunities, or tenure) can and will be manipulated. And if the measure depends on user-contributed content distributed on an open platform, the manipulation often will be easy and low cost, and thus we should expect to see it happen a lot. This is a. For “big data” applications. The lesson is simple: for. Everything (of value) is for sale.

I saw this one coming: reviewing myself | ICD Stuff
https://icdstuff.wordpress.com/2012/10/01/i-saw-this-one-coming-reviewing-myself
I saw this one coming: reviewing myself. October 1, 2012. Actually, I didn’t see this coming, but I wish I had: scholarly authors who see themselves coming by suggesting themselves (via “sybils”) as their own article reviewers (referees)!

http://madlibbing.berkeley.edu/authors-have-the-power-let-them-use-it-rebuttal-to-david-shulenburger
Skip to main content. Authors have the power, let them use it: rebuttal to David Shulenburger. In July 2016, the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) published an article it requested from David Shulenburger, an economist and senior fellow at the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU). Dr Shulenberger recommends the right approach. The right question to ask: we agree. Let me start with what Dr. Shulenberger got right: the basic economic logic one should. But then he applies this prin...

https://icdstuff.wordpress.com/2011/07/13/gamification-making-intrinsic-motivators-better
8220;Gamification”: Making intrinsic motivators better? July 13, 2011. 8220;How do I get people to do X”, or “more of X”? That question is pretty much the motivation for the notes I write myself here. More recently, especially following the explosive success of lo-fi casual social gaming (can you spell F-A-R-M-V-I-L-L-E?
