“Près de 10 000 canaux témoins effectuent des mesures de bruit 24 h/24, des microphones, des magnétomètres, etc. Si le groupe de Jackson veut ces données, il n’a qu’à les demander. Elles représentent l’équivalent d’un camion rempli de disques durs!” – Neil Cornish – LIGO.

“ Cette année, Roblox devrait verser 70 millions de dollars à sa communauté de créateurs, plus du double de l’année précédente. Une logique qui a déjà permis à des codeurs de 13 ans de gagner près de 100 000 dollars… par mois. Joueurs ou créateurs, tout le monde semble y trouver son compte, peu importe l’apparente simplicité des jeux proposés. Pour comprendre ce qui fait le succès de Roblox, nous sommes allés à la rencontre de sa communauté française.”
“Google has been accused of breaking promises to patients, after the company announced it would be moving a healthcare-focused subsidiary, DeepMind Health, into the main arm of the organisation.The restructure, critics argue, breaks a pledge DeepMind made when it started working with the NHS that “data will never be connected to Google accounts or services”. The change has also resulted in the dismantling of an independent review board, created to oversee the company’s work with the healthcare sector, with Google arguing that the board was too focused on Britain to provide effective oversight for a newly global body.”

“The move follows Australia’s decision to ban Huawei from supplying 5G equipment over concerns it could facilitate Chinese spying, and its barring from some U.S. government contracts on national security grounds.

“Une grande partie des activités humaines se déroule aujourd’hui sur l’Internet. On y fait des affaires, de la politique, on y bavarde, on travaille, on s’y distrait, on drague… L’Internet n’est donc pas un outil qu’on utilise, c’est un espace où se déroulent nos activités.” – Stéphane Bortzmeyer @bortzmeyer

“it’s not the only user-unfriendly land grab we’ve seen Microsoft test out recently. Microsoft aborted a short-sighted attempt to scare people away from Google’s Chrome web browser in September, and it tried to shuffle Mail users to its Microsoft Edge browser any time they clicked a link, back in March.”
