Accroître et enrichir les contenus sur le Québec et son histoire dans Wikipédia, rendre disponibles dans Wikisource nos grands textes historiques et littéraires qui sont du domaine public, diffuser dans Wikimedia Commons des contenus visuels qui expriment la créativité de nos artistes, voilà le grand défi que nous devons aujourd’hui relever si nous voulons exister et être reconnus dans le monde. La nation québécoise peut-elle se permettre de manquer le bateau de la plus grande entreprise de partage et de diffusion des connaissances de l’histoire de l’humanité ?
A new study by the sociologist Sharon Zukin—known for her earlier work on lofts, artists, and gentrification—along with Scarlett Lindeman and Laurie Hurson of the City University of New York, sheds new light on the connection between gentrification, restaurants, and race. The study examines this nexus by using Yelp reviews of restaurants in two rapidly gentrifying Brooklyn neighborhoods with very different populations: Greenpoint and Bedford-Stuyvesant, or Bed-Stuy.

Il peut paraître paradoxal que, dans le même temps, l’on fasse l’expérience à la fois de la personnalisation des environnements numériques, des interactions administratives, commerciales, sécuritaires,… grâce à un profilage de plus en plus intensif et de la disparition de la personne ! L’hyperpersonnalisation des environnements numériques, des offres commerciales, voire des interactions administratives, porte moins la menace d’une disparition de la vie privée que celle d’une hypertrophie de la sphère privée au détriment de l’espace public.

A cat and mouse game between Netflix and its users over geo-blocked content has begun in Australia. Last week, Netflix announced it would be cracking down on customers who use software to watch content only available outside their own country, blocking proxies and virtual private networks (VPNs).

The internet has become embedded into our daily lives, no longer an esoteric phenomenon, but instead an unremarkable way of carrying out our interactions with one another. Online and offline are interwoven in everyday experience. Using the internet has become accepted as a way of being present in the world, rather than a means of accessing some discrete virtual domain. Ethnographers of these contemporary Internet-infused societies consequently find themselves facing serious methodological dilemmas: where should they go, what should they do there and how can they acquire robust knowledge about what people do in, through and with the internet?
