Ma davvero siamo corrotti?

Trovo curioso che una altra volta venga fuori l’ennesimo grido dall’estero che ci accusa di essere uno dei paesi piu corrotti d’europa, e che le connesioni oscure tra affari e plitica siano una delle cause delle pessime condizioni della nostra disastrata politica. Trovo curioso che la cosa abbia destato sorpresa, dopo tutto siamo orgogliosamente membri di questa classifica da anni. E non serve dire che ci sono alcuni paesi che stanno peggio per consolarci, tutto sommato per una volta cospargerci il capo di cenere e fare ammenda sarebbe meglio. http://www.transparency.org/country#ITA_DataResearch   Ma da cosa deriva questa corruzione? Non sarà che…

e l’Italia scoprì PRISM

Viaggiare in metropolitana è interessante per diversi motivi, da un lato scopri usi e costumi della gente, come cambiano le abitudini, il modo di vestirsi, la composizione etnografica, dall’altro puoi farti una idea di quanto la gente legga, cosa legga e, nel caso dei quotidiani, anche vedere le prime pagine anche se non hai avuto tempo di farti la rassegna in tv o non hai voglia di fartela online. Oggi l’occhio mi è caduto, casualmente, sul corriere della sera che riportava in prima pagina la notizia che anche l’italia è stata spiata dagli americani. La cosa sfiora abbastanza il ridicolo…

is Free and investigative Journalism in danger?

I live in a country, Italy, where journalism is not a synonymous of freedom, objectivity or courage. In the past we have had great journalists able to put their life at the service of a profession that require total dedication, but today the market offer really a few example of journalism, most are just “the voice of the boss” as mr. Sallusti or mr. Belpietrto. I always seen that outside there were great journalists, free and brave ones. Journalists able to fight and find scandals or inconvenient truths, and this was accepted and even defended by their governments who considered…

Groklaw forced to close, another piece of freedom is leaving internet

Here I usually don’t copy other blogs article, but i will make an exception to this one that comes from an historical free blog Groklaw. is sad to read this blog article and knowing this is the last one, this is a sad moment for the internet, our capability to freely express our ideas is in great danger. Government have always tried to shut down or control the internet, we were clearly worried about china, north corea and even russia, but now PRISM made everything worse. But when  Journalists like Barret Brown risk 100 years in prison in USA, or…

Digging it up on Security Costs and Security Budgets – part1

In my previous article, security costs and security budget, I made some assumption to simplify an introductory analysis on how much we should spend on security. Some of those assumptions have been made to simplify out tasks. Today I would like to quickly analyse some of those simplifications. One of the biggest assumption I made on the previous article is that if a problem cost us X then we can find a number n that express the number of incidents I’m allowed to permit so that nX can express the cost I’m allowed to accept. This simplification was based on…
