Interesting Things on the Internet: September 8th 2014

• Waffle on Social Media "The things that will last on the internet are not owned. Plain old websites, blogs, RSS, irc, email."
• Antilogs: How To Draw The Right Lesson Learned
• Putting Awesome into words. Zarino doing a great job of explaining Awesome Liverpool and the Awesome Foundation. A lovely project.
• Limits to Growth was right. New research shows we're nearing collapse " Wars could break out; so could genuine global environmental leadership. Either could dramatically affect the trajectory." Fingers crossed for the latter, eh?
• My Cousin Is Not a Hero "Sometimes, a bunch of terrible things happen right in a row, and it’s just terrible. It doesn’t make for a good story. It doesn’t make you a better person. It just sucks."
• Not Safe for Not Working On. A good look at the wider issue (for developers, and which should be demanded by users) around the exposing of celebrity nude photo trading networks.
• What is “fairness”? Great piece about the fairness of algorithms by Danah Boyd
• There's poverty in the UK, but we are better off calling it inequality. John Lanchester on good form.
