Main page - Liste des mesures à inclure dans une réforme du droit d'auteur

Il criminalise une génération entière dans une tentative désespérée d’arrêter le progrès technologique. Pourtant le partage de fichiers a continué à s’accroître exponentiellement. Ni la propagande ni les techniques d’intimidation ni le durcissement des lois n’ont pu arrêter son développement. Il n’est plus possible de renforcer les mesures contre le partage à but non lucratif de fichiers sans violer des droits humains fondamentaux. Nous voulons une société où la culture prospère, où les artistes et les créateurs ont une chance de vivre de leur art. Quand les bibliothèques publiques sont apparues en Europe il y a 150 ans, les éditeurs y étaient extrêmement opposés.

Nous savons à présent que les arguments contre les bibliothèques publiques étaient faux. Internet est la plus merveilleuse bibliothèque publique jamais créée. Conserver le droit moral ( Edit ) Bannir les verrous numériques ( Edit ) Une telle réforme est : Logiciels libres et enseignement. The Filter Bubble: How the Web Gives Us What We Want, and That's Not a Good Thing. By Maria Popova How the web gives us what we want to see, and that’s not necessarily a good thing.

The Filter Bubble: How the Web Gives Us What We Want, and That's Not a Good Thing

Most of us are aware that our web experience is somewhat customized by our browsing history, social graph and other factors. But this sort of information-tailoring takes place on a much more sophisticated, deeper and far-reaching level than we dare suspect. (Did you know that Google takes into account 57 individual data points before serving you the results you searched for?) That’s exactly what Eli Pariser, founder of public policy advocacy group MoveOn.org, explores in his fascinating and, depending on where you fall on the privacy spectrum, potentially unsettling new book, The Filter Bubble — a compelling deep-dive into the invisible algorithmic editing on the web, a world where we’re being shown more of what algorithms think we want to see and less of what we should see.

I met Eli in March at TED, where he introduced the concepts from the book in one of this year’s best TED talks.

Repairing a charred/burned/broken cable on an Apple Magsafe charger

To briefly recap, it is of my beleif that in general, Apple hardware is very well designed. However, they often overlook functionality in favour of form, sacrificing important aspects such as durability so that "it looks nice". A good example of this is the Magsafe adapter. In a bid to improve aesthetics, Apple shortened the rubber strain-relief grommet that protects the power cable from fraying at the charger end, and the connector end to the laptop. The metal strands inside the cable gradually begin breaking from normal use until eventually, with only a few strands left carrying a large amount of current, the last few strands overheat resulting in a burning smell and the the connection breaking completely.

In case you find yourself in a similar situation as I was, here is a short guide on how to repair the cable on your magsafe adapter, without having to fork out the $80 for a new one. 1. 2. 3. Transcript of secret meeting between Julian Assange and Google CEO Eric Schmidt. On the 23 of June, 2011 a secret five hour meeting took place between WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange, who was under house arrest in rural UK at the time and Google CEO Eric Schmidt.

Also in attendance was Jared Cohen, a former Secretary of State advisor to Hillary Clinton, Scott Malcomson, Director of Speechwriting for Ambassador Susan Rice at the US State Department and current Communications Director of the International Crisis Group, and Lisa Shields, Vice President of the Council on Foreign Relations. Schmidt and Cohen requested the meeting, they said, to discuss ideas for "The New Digital World", their forthcoming book to be published on April 23, 2013.

We provide here a verbatim transcript of the majority of the meeting; a close reading, particularly of the latter half, is revealing. You can download the recording here (ogg) Well do you want us to start eating? So this is... what's the date? ...June 23rd. ...Lisa Shields. Can we start... Yeah, actually I mean Tor. Yeah.
