La guerre de l’identité a commencé » Article » OWNI, Digital Journalism La guerre que se font Facebook et Google pour attirer de plus en plus d'utilisateurs bat son plein. Au bénéfice des internautes ?! Mon nouveau nom est Nostradarabanne. Il y a 3 ans, je prédisais la guerre Google / Yahoo / Microsoft. Il y a 2 ans, la guerre Myspace / Google / Facebook. Et bien je me trompais à peine. Alors pourquoi cette guerre ? Prends ça, Google ! Tout a commencé en Aout, par la montée de la pression de Google / Verizon concernant la neutralité du net. Ensuite se sont multiplié les escarmouches de plus en plus violentes. Ces passes d’arme annonçaient la suite : le lancement en grande pompe de Facebook mail, outil de consultation d’e-mail sur FB. La guerre des carnets d’adresse est déclarée Est-ce une guerre idéologique ? Google ne l’avait pas compris (ou ça ne l’intéressait pas). Et puis le 26 juin de cette année, il y a eu le tweet de Kevin Rose (le fondateur de Digg) qui annonçait un projet “Google Me“. La grande guerre mondo-digitale Et il y a les futurs perdants :
Study Hacks On Sam Harris and Stephen Fry’s Meditation Debate February 19th, 2019 · 44 comments A few weeks ago, on his podcast, Sam Harris interviewed the actor and comedian Stephen Fry. Harris, of course, is a longtime proponent of this practice. What sparked the diversion in the first place is when, early in the conversation, Fry expressed skepticism about meditation. Typically when we find ourselves in a chronic state of ill health it’s because we’ve moved away from something natural that our bodies have evolved to expect.Paleolithic man didn’t need gyms and diets because he naturally exercised and didn’t have access to an overabundance of bad food.Mindfulness mediation, by contrast, doesn’t seem to be replicating something natural that we’ve lost, but is instead itself a relatively contrived and complicated activity. Harris’s response was to compare meditation to reading. I wonder, however, whether Fry should have persisted. Read more » Minimalism Grows… February 8th, 2019 · 31 comments Read more »

New Orleans Saints Personnel Room Touch Screen Kiosk Mickey Loomis is the General Manager of the NFL's New Orleans Saints Mickey Loomis spent his first three evenings at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis sitting face-to-face with incoming rookies, utilizing intensive 15-minute interviews with 60 select players hoping to find a window into their character and personality. The human interaction with an athlete who is often heavily coached to provide well-crafted answers can be, well, very flawed. CRASH TEST Top prospects go all out to prove themselves at the Combine, and we've got the pictures to prove it. Performance statistics? When it comes to dissecting the seemingly endless stream of empirical data that separates future NFL stars from expensive draft busts, Loomis, the New Orleans Saints general manager, has gone almost entirely digital. The interactive tool is called ICE, which stands for Interactive Collaboration and Evaluation. When New Orleans’ turn comes at No. 24 overall, who may be available?
Why Teens Are Innovators Of A New Public Form Of Privacy Taylor is not one to share, and if she had her druthers, she wouldn’t tell her friends much about what’s happening in her life. She understands that her friends mean well, but the Boston-based white 15-year-old is a reserved person, and she doesn’t like it when people are “in [her] business.” To combat nagging questions from friends and classmates, she has started creating a “light version” of her life that she’ll regularly share on Facebook just so that her friends don’t pester her about what’s actually happening. Much to her frustration, she finds that sharing at least a little bit affords her more privacy than sharing nothing at all. She’s not alone. In a world in which posting updates is common, purposeful, and performative, sharing often allows teens to control a social situation more than simply opting out. Sitting in an afterschool program in Los Angeles, I casually asked a teen participant why she shared so many embarrassing photos of herself on her profile.

"Faire fusionner l’homme et la machine, c’est déjà possible", Stefan Greiner Fondée fin 2013, l’association Cyborgs est une plate-forme pour tous ceux qui s’intéressent à la fusion de l’homme et de la machine. Elle organise des rencontres régulières à Berlin dans des espaces fréquentés par des hackers. Au programme : conférences et débats sur le cyborgism, et travaux pratiques pour manipuler prothèses, implants et appareils divers afin de poursuivre leurs développement en open-source. Les membres sont des spécialistes des logiciels et du matériel informatique, mais aussi des chercheurs en sciences humaines, des artistes et des journalistes. En plus de projets bien concrets de craquage, l’association s’est fixée pour objectif de faire sortir la problématique homme-machine des cercles universitaires pour la faire connaître au grand public et se placer ainsi en tête de file du discours médial sur le cyborg, ce porteur d’implants et de technologies dites « mettables ». Qu’entendez-vous par cyborg ? Quels sont les projets cyborg actuellement en cours en Allemagne?

Big data meets Big Brother as China moves to rate its citizens On June 14, 2014, the State Council of China published an ominous-sounding document called "Planning Outline for the Construction of a Social Credit System". In the way of Chinese policy documents, it was a lengthy and rather dry affair, but it contained a radical idea. What if there was a national trust score that rated the kind of citizen you were? Imagine a world where many of your daily activities were constantly monitored and evaluated: what you buy at the shops and online; where you are at any given time; who your friends are and how you interact with them; how many hours you spend watching content or playing video games; and what bills and taxes you pay (or not). It's not hard to picture, because most of that already happens, thanks to all those data-collecting behemoths like Google, Facebook and Instagram or health-tracking apps such as Fitbit. A futuristic vision of Big Brother out of control? China's new viral app could be straight out of Black Mirror Kevin Hong
