Why the Impossible Happens More Often [Translations: Japanese] I’ve had to persuade myself to believe in the impossible more often. In the past several decades I’ve encountered a series of ideas that I was conditioned to think were impossibilities, but which turned out to be good practical ideas. For instance, I had my doubts about the online flea market called eBay when it first came out. I thought the idea of an encyclopedia that anyone could change at any time to be a non-starter, a hopeless romantic idea with no chance of working. Twenty years ago if I had been paid to convince an audience of reasonable, educated people that in 20 years time we’d have street and satellite maps for the entire world on our personal hand held phone devices — for free — and with street views for many cities — I would not be able to do it. These supposed impossibilities keep happening with increased frequency. This list goes on, old impossibilities appearing as new possibilities daily. In a word: emergence.

Pourquoi nous finirons par renoncer à nos bibliothèques J'ai eu un choc en achetant Les Inrocks cette semaine. J'y ai découvert à l'intérieur un CD. Autrement dit un compact disc, un objet étrange, une sorte de playlist Spotify IRL (in real life). J'ai sorti l'objet de son plastique puis j'ai fixé mon iPad avec circonspection avant de réaliser qu'il y avait une application pour tout, sauf pour lire un CD. Après une dizaine d'années de tâtonnement, le combat est gagné. Avec les années 2010 commence la deuxième grande phase de dématérialisation culturelle. Un bon du trésor grec > un CD Face au livre numérique, les réactions sont les mêmes qu'il y a 10 ans pour la musique: «OK, c'est super d'avoir un livre en numérique, c'est magique les pages qui tournent toutes seules. Au début des années 2000, nous avions ce même fétichisme avec le disque, avant de l'abandonner progressivement sans même nous en rendre compte. Aujourd'hui, pour rien au monde, je ne jetterais mes livres. Le piratage, la solution? Retrouver l'aura du livre Vincent Glad

The Jig Is Up: Time to Get Past Facebook and Invent a New Future - Alexis Madrigal - Technology After five years pursuing the social-local-mobile dream, we need a fresh paradigm for technology startups. Finnish teenagers performing digital ennui in 1996 2006. Reuters. We're there. "The third generation of data and voice communications -- the convergence of mobile phones and the Internet, high-speed wireless data access, intelligent networks, and pervasive computing -- will shape how we work, shop, pay bills, flirt, keep appointments, conduct wars, keep up with our children, and write poetry in the next century." That's Steve Silberman reporting for Wired in 1999, which was 13 years ago, if you're keeping count. I can take a photo of a check and deposit it in my bank account, then turn around and find a new book through a Twitter link and buy it, all while being surveilled by a drone in Afghanistan and keeping track of how many steps I've walked. The question is, as it has always been: now what? Decades ago, the answer was, "Build the Internet." That paradigm has run its course.

Daring Fireball Content Curators Are The New Superheros Of The Web Yesterday, the ever-churning machine that is the Internet pumped out more unfiltered digital data. Yesterday, 250 million photos were uploaded to Facebook, 864,000 hours of video were uploaded to YouTube, and 294 BILLION emails were sent. And that's not counting all the check-ins, friend requests, Yelp reviews and Amazon posts, and pins on Pintrest. The volume of information being created is growing faster than your software is able to sort it out. As a result, you're often unable to determine the difference between a fake LinkedIn friend request, and a picture from your best friend in college of his new baby. What's happened is the web has gotten better at making data. While devices struggle to separate spam from friends, critical information from nonsense, and signal from noise, the amount of data coming at us is increasingly mind-boggling. In 2010 we frolicked, Googled, waded, and drowned in 1.2 zettabytes of digital bits and bytes. 1. How will curation evolve?

asymco | Curated market intelligence Sriram Krishnan Unsolicited advice for Marissa Mayer That was one of many messages I got from current and ex-Yahoos on yesterday's news. Having recently exited a short stint at Yahoo as an engineering manager and having had hundreds of conversations with employees on what needs to change at the company, I've seen both the best and the worst of the company. The press has many suggestions for big strategic moves that Marissa should be doing. Marc Andreessen thinks you need to fire over 10K people.

cdn - Techmeme Search Techmeme Search finds "items", i.e. blog posts, news stories and tweets, that have appeared as headlines on Techmeme. Items listed only in the "More" areas are excluded from results. By default, only the title and first few sentences are searched. Unchecking "Search title & summary only" extends the search to the full body text. Quoted phrases, wildcards, and standard search operators like + (plus), - (minus), AND, OR, NOT, and parenthesis are all supported. Narrowing searches based on url, author, date, and other attributes is also possible. Note: all operators that take urls will accept simple domain names, which match any item at that domain, or complete item urls. Fleur Pellerin annonce la mise à mort de la neutralité du net Les rencontres de Pétrarque, une série de tables rondes et d’émissions de radio co-organisées par France Culture et Le Monde, ont été l’occasion de deux sorties tragi-comiques de la part de notre ministre à l’Économie numérique : l’un sur l’armement numérique, sur lequel nous reviendrons, et l’autre sur la Net neutrality, qui a fait hurler Twitter vendredi dernier. La scène se passe après plus d’une heure et demie de débats sur les rapports entre Internet et démocraties, quelques minutes avant que Fleur Pellerin et sa cour ne quittent l’assemblée pour repartir précipitamment pour Paris. Un petit moment de stress pour les animateurs (qui réalisent à la fois une table ronde en public ET une émission de radio en devenir, ce qui est loin d’être évident à gérer). Et là, c’est le drame. Dafuq i just see?! Comment interpréter cet argumentaire totalement aberrant posé pour s’opposer à la Net neutrality ? Ça tombe bien, j’enseigne à Science Po (prenez ça comme un full disclosure). Donc. Tax tax tax
