Die Atomkraftwerks-Betreiber E.ON, EnBW, RWE und Vattenfall wollen Ihre alten AKWs für Jahrzehnte länger laufen lassen, als sie selbst zugesichert haben. Gleichzeitig beweisen schwere Störfälle und die Vertuschungs-Versuche regelmäßig, dass es absolute Sicherheit nicht gibt. Wir rufen die Menschen in Deutschland auf, selbst aktiv zu werden.

Traditional methods for protecting community from the effects of scale and poor behavior are now manifestly unfeasible. Raising barriers to entry, relying on the assumption that users will maintain only one registered account, and placing faith in the ability of admins and user moderation to reproduce a forum's organic culture are all easily circumvented, gamed, and/or ineffective when faced with the problems of scale. Moreover, they tend to reinforce self-destructive behaviors, by increasing returns to the most persistent rather than the most constructive, reinforcing groupthink, and providing ample targets for trolling and griefing. This article attempts to fundamentally rethink what constitutes community and society on the web, and what possibilities exist for their maintenance and reconstruction in the face of scale and malicious users. The recommendations reached, after analyzing the weaknesses of the web forums we all know and love

The new Baffler. Back in the nineties, published out of Chicago and edited by Thomas Frank, The Baffler articulated an anti-cool sort of cool that appealed to young readers and writers on the margins of journalism and academia, subjecting the iconic brands of consumer capitalism to a quasi-Marxist critical scrutiny. During the Bush years it went out of business. Now it’s back, with a table of contents largely devoted to the economic crisis: a perfect moment for The Baffler’s kind of cultural criticism to be revived.
Europäische Banken im Stresstest: Können europäische Finanzinstitute ohne steuergeldliche Zuwendungen überhaupt weiter fortbestehen? Vieles spricht dagegen, doch sollte man auch hier keine voreiligen Schlüsse ziehen. Dass die Lage bei Weitem nicht so dramatisch ist, wie Uns von den Massenmedien suggeriert wird, stellen jüngste Angaben auf Rückzahlung der Kredite bei der EZB klar, wonach 278 Banken ihre Schuld bei der EZB bereits vor dem Ablauf der dreijährigen Zahlungsfrist in Höhe von 137,2 Milliarden Euro beglichen haben. Die teilweise in staatlicher Hand gehaltene Commerzbank befindet sich darunter.
