What's at the other end? - Server System Design and Deployment - MIT Club of Northern California

Fri, 08 Mar 2013 18:30:46 GMT

Whenever your “information device”… computer, pad computer, smart phone, video streaming device, etc. … is connected to a network of any sort… home network, office network, the internet, etc. … by either a wired or wireless path, at the other end of that connection is a server of some sort. It may be a small local memory backup server or a huge, remote “server farm” providing enormous amounts of streamed data, or anything in between those two extremes. For many of us, this is a hidden world that we are only vaguely aware of, yet it is central to the digital revolution that surrounds us. This program will pull the curtain back on that world and bring us up to date on some of the major issues influencing server system design and deployment.

Forging a New Direction in Climate Research

Wed, 06 Feb 2013 21:30:47 GMT

Research aimed at predicting future climate activity has primarily focused on large and complex numerical models. While this approach has provided some quantitative estimates of climate change, those predictions can vary greatly from one model to the next and produce doubts in the projected outcome.

In this Faculty Forum Online broadcast, Professor Kerry Emanuel ’76, PhD ’78 discussed a new approach to climate science that emphasizes basic understanding over black box simulation. After Emanuel presented a brief overview of climate research, he took questions from the worldwide MIT community via video chat.

The continued economic decline of the West

Fri, 03 Aug 2012 07:06:27 GMT

Has the age of 2% annual growth in jobs and salary levels come to an end in the West? Will the jobs drain to the East quicken? Are policymakers leading us away from the precipice or towards it? Often contrarian, Jon Moynihan's lecture draws on his decades of experience at high levels of business and government, together with calculations and analysis never seen before, to ask: is the continued economic decline of the West inevitable? And what, if anything, can we do to stop it?

"A frighteningly persuasive lecture that makes it clear that even as the world gets richer, the West may get poorer." ~ Matt Ridley, Author, 'The Rational Optimist'

Filmed in 2012, Jon Moynihan, Chairman of PA Consulting Group, speaks at the London School of Economics showing how previous speeches in 2009 at the MIT Alumni Association ‘View from the Top’ event, London and the MIT Club of Germany Symposium, Frankfurt have correctly forecast the persistent downtown in Western economies.

Biofuels: How Biotech is Changing the Energy Industry

MIT Club of Northern California

Featuring the top executives of the Bay Area's leading Biofuels companies.

John Melo - CEO, Amyris
Jonathan Wolfson - CEO, Solazyme
Bob Mayer - CEO, Cobalt Technologies
Noubar Afeyan - Chairman, LS9
Moderator: Don Keller - Partner, Orrick SV

Despite widespread interest in electric cars, the EIA projects that liquid fuels will provide more than 90% of US transportation energy through 2035. There is an urgent need to find renewable sources, to provide a reliable supply for US consumers and to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions created by fossil fuels.

Biofuels look well-positioned for this role, but face daunting challenges in raising capital for facilities and competing with volatile commodity prices. Biotechnology offers firms the promise of meeting these crucial challenges by improving the yields of feedstocks, reducing processing costs and producing high-value outputs. But will this be enough?

* How effectively will biofuels compete with other transportation fuels, such as ethanol or natural gas?

* What are the major challenges biofuels firms face as they attempt to scale up to compete with petroleum and what are their strategies to deal with them?

* What federal policies are most important to the industrybfuture?

Hear first-hand how these executives will tackle these and other key challenges to build their companies for success!

The Emergence of a Digital Money Ecosystem - Irving Wladawsky-Berger, PhD Visiting Lecturer, MIT Engineering Systems Division and MIT Sloan School of Management

Tue, 08 May 2012 07:03:48 GMT

About the Presentation

We are in the early stages of a very important transformation—the transition to a digital money ecosystem. This transformation is likely to be among the most exciting, important, and challenging initiatives the world will undertake in the coming decades.

The transformation involves more than the transformation of money (cash, checks, credit and debit cards, etc.) from physical to digital objects that we will carry in our smart mobile devices. It encompasses the whole money ecosystem, including the global payment infrastructures, the management of personal identities and personal financial data, the global financial flows among institutions and between institutions and individuals, the government regulatory regimes, and more.

This webinar will present an overview of this digital money transformation and the technical and societal forces that are driving it. We will also discuss some of the potential major consequences to business, the economy, and society in general.

For more information on this topic, please see Dr. Wladawsky-Berger's blog entry.

Introduction to Allopathy: The unique philosophy of non-alternative medicine

Sat, 05 May 2012 07:03:01 GMT

Allopathic medicine is taught by the medical schools that award M.D. degrees. At its base, is the philosophy that medical therapy should be based on science. In this moderated discussion, we'll explore both the strengths and quirks of conventional medicine based on its foundation in the scientific method including peer review, controlled experimentation, and underpinnings in human biology. We'll also discuss how allopathic philosophy creates an antipathy toward euthanasia, prescribing placebo, integrating alternative therapies, etc. Finally, we'll consider the development of the standardized undergraduate, pre-medical core curriculum and extra-curriculars as prerequisites for studying medicine in an allopathic school. Featuring Louis Kuchnir, MD, PhD and MIT '87 alum.

Lynden High School of Lynden, Washington is one of 15 teams participating from across the United States in the Lemelson-MIT EurekaFest 2012. Our Lynden InvenTeam invention is a 3 wheeled recumbent trike with a composite frame. The trike will have an active leaning suspension which will allow riders to curve into corners just like a bicycle, but have more stability. Our invention is solving a real world problem. People who have physical limitations such as spina bifida can not ride a regular bicycle. With our invention they can enjoy the experience of riding a bike, while getting a good core body workout.

MIT Logs at Framingham Library

Sat, 28 Apr 2012 14:30:11 GMT

See the MIT Logarhythms Alums at a successful concert at the Framingham Library. An exciting and joyful performance for us and for our receptive and appreciative audience. Hawaiian War Chant, Mood Indigo, Rigoletto, Lindy Serenade, 64, Sandman, and Swing Down Chariot. Costin Room, April 5, 2012

About the Logs

In the spring of 1949 a group of MIT students came together to form the Logarhythms, MIT's premier all male a cappella group. Building upon the influence of barbershop tunes they swiftly began singing all over campus, building a fan base throughout Cambridge. Over the next few decades the 'Logs' introduced gospel, doo-wop, and modern hits, performing at several MIT events including Commencement. While balancing their academic workload, athletics, and keeping fans at bay, the Logs managed to record several albums, which last to this day.

In the late 1990's the Logs made the transition from barbershop to modern a cappella introducing vocal percussion and complex arrangements of modern songs. The Logs performed off campus more often and toured around the country to California, Texas, Ohio, New York, Florida, and all of New England. Last year the Logs celebrated their 60th anniversary as one of the country's finest a cappella groups. Their tremendous success is attributed to its alumni who have shaped this group into what it is today.

Lessons from China - Joe Chen - MIT Club of Northern California

Wed, 18 Apr 2012 14:30:10 GMT

Join us for an intimate evening with CEO Joe Chen of Renren (NYSE: RENN), the Chinese social networking site often dubbed "The Facebook of China." Joe will discuss what it takes to be successful in China – an intensely competitive, highly fragmented social networking sector.

To diversify Renren's social platform revenues and grow his base beyond 147 million active users, Joe and his team recently launched and/or acquired Chinese equivalents of Zynga, YouTube, Tumblr, and Groupon. Joe will discuss the successes and challenges with these efforts, why he is now heavily investing in the mobile space, and how hardware platforms impact social networking.

Joe will also share his thoughts on where the "power of social" is transforming businesses, and how the financial services sector is already being disrupted. His first U.S. investment is in SoFi, a San Francisco startup transforming the student loan industry by leveraging the power of technology, community, and alumni investment capital. SoFi's pool-to-pool business model provides alumni investors with a double bottom line return – allowing alumni to earn a return on their capital while also doing good. Joe invested personally within 10 minutes of meeting SoFi's co-founder, Mike Cagney.

About Joe Chen and Renren: A pioneer of China’s internet industry, Joe Chen is the founder of Renren, China’s leading real name social networking internet platform. Besides Renren.com, its platform includes an online games site, the social commerce website Nuomi.com, and the video-sharing website 56.com. Joe holds a B.S. in Physics from the University of Delaware, an M.S. in Engineering from MIT, and a MBA from Stanford University.

About Jeff Yang: Jeff Yang writes the Tao Jones column for the Wall Street Journal Online, covering the convergence of global cultures and its impact on media, entertainment and technology. He can be heard regularly on "The Brian Lehrer Show" on WNYC, NPR's flagship station in New York. An author of five books, Jeff is a Harvard College alumnus. Twitter: @originalspin

About Mike Cagney and SoFi*: Mike Cagney is the co-founder and CEO of SoFi, whose innovative Community Loan Program brings a new party to the broken $1 trillion student loan industry – alumni. SoFi empowers alumni to provide student loan funding through their IRAs while earning an attractive financial return and making a positive difference in their community. Mike also co-founded Cabezon Investment Group, a global macro hedge fund. He holds an M.S. in Management from Stanford Graduate School of Business.
