Veille technologique et industrielle | IT Industrie & Technologies Amya » A Graphic Novel The Dark Web, Deep Web and Dark Net – Terminology Hell Post by @Deku_shrub – Pirate Party UK and digital rights activist, transhumanist and systems administrator: I’ve recently completed some major work on Wikipedia trying to provide strong definitions of these terms. Featured: A search indexing term confused with the dark web ‘Deep Web’ is a term first coined by a search indexing specialist company called ‘Bright Planet’ who used it to describe unindexable content covering dynamic databases requests, paywalls and other hard to get at areas of the internet for a search indexing company. At some point in 2013 when the Silk Road peaked in notoriety, various web outlets starting using deep web and dark web interchangeably. This is a problem. The following original infographic is the result of my work on Wikipedia to try and clear things up. Core pages referenced:
365 days: The science events that shaped 2015 Arnaud Boissou/COP21/Anadolu/Getty Leaders at the UN climate meeting in Paris celebrated the adoption of a historic global warming agreement on 12 December. From climate change to gene-editing ethics, researchers tackled many thorny issues this year. They also made important discoveries — including ice mountains on Pluto, evidence of quantum weirdness and details about the molecular machines inside cells. Road to Paris The world got serious this year about climate change. As the number of pledges grew during the year — to 184 by the time of the conference — so did optimism that the Paris talks would be a historic turning point in efforts to curb global warming. Climate negotiators were treated to some surprising good news in early December, when researchers at the Global Carbon Project reported that global carbon emissions could drop by 0.6% in 2015. China and the United States, the world’s biggest carbon emitters, helped to build momentum in the run-up to Paris. Pluto et al. Source: Scopus

Things to Celebrate, Like Dreams of Flying Cars In Star Wars, Han Solo’s Millennium Falcon did the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs; in real life, all the Falcon 9 has done so far is land at Cape Canaveral without falling over or exploding. Yet I, like many nerds, was thrilled by that achievement, in part because it reinforced my growing optimism about the direction technology seems to be taking — a direction that may end up saving the world. O.K., if you have no idea what I’m talking about, the Falcon 9 is Elon Musk’s reusable rocket, which is supposed to boost a payload into space, then return to where it can be launched again. And to my amateur eye, this seems to be part of a broader trend, which is making me more hopeful for the future than I’ve been in a while. You see, I got my Ph.D. in 1977, the year of the first Star Wars movie, which means that I have basically spent my whole professional life in an era of technological disappointment. Now, there has been striking progress in our ability to process and transmit information.
