authorship issues

October 12, 2012

http://www.nature.com/naturejobs/science/articles/10.1038/nj7417-591a
Particularly relevant to genomics and refers to authorship on the main ENCODE paper
QT:”
Biagioli agrees that delineating each person’s contribution should help, but he says that the descriptions are frequently too brief. As an example, he cites the study published this month in Nature by the ENCODE Project Consortium [the ENCODE “main paper”] . It ascribes generic tasks such as “data analysis”, “writing” or “scientific management” to large sets of authors, making it impossible to tell, for example, who analysed which data.

The Microsecond Market – IEEE Spectrum

September 4, 2012

http://spectrum.ieee.org/computing/networks/the-microsecond-market

Amazing amounts of money & ingenuity devoted to shaving a few microseconds off a trade — does it really add value?

QTs:”
Wall Street might seem the epicenter of U.S. stock trading. In fact, the real action takes place about 50 kilometers away, in a huge, windowless building in suburban Mahwah, N.J.”
+
“In June 2010, Spread Networks, of Ridgeland, Miss., announced that it had installed a fiber-optic communications cable between New York and Chicago that followed an especially direct route. That required blasting though mountains at a cost of perhaps several hundred million dollars. Lease bandwidth on that line, the company suggested to high-frequency traders, and you’ll shave more than a millisecond off the time it takes you to send information between the two cities. Like the wire services that mobsters had once touted to bookies, Spread Network’s offer was something high-frequency traders couldn’t refuse—unless they just didn’t have the money to pay for it.”
