“Netflix’s value has surged from about $20 billion at the end of 2014 and surpassed the world’s most powerful media giants, Comcast Corp. and Disney, this week. Still, Netflix’s revenue remains well below that of the media titans. Comcast is the largest cable provider in the U.S. and parent of NBCUniversal, which owns film studios, pay-TV networks and theme parks. Its sales totaled $84.5 billion last year. Disney, with 2017 revenue of $55.1 billion, owns ABC and ESPN, two of the most valuable TV networks in the U.S., along with its namesake parks and resorts and prosperous movie studio”.

“YouTube Music is Google’s most direct competitor to Spotify yet, coming with “a reimagined mobile app” and a new desktop player, both of them designed specifically for music. The YouTube advantage, argues Google, is that it will combine all the official versions of songs with access to “thousands” of related playlists, remixes, covers, live versions, and of course, music videos. Google’s AI mastery is also being integrated into YouTube Music, with the promise that the app will discover songs either by lyric or just a general description”.

Back in 2015…

Today, the video giant is rolling out a new app, YouTube Music, that attempts to capitalize on its dominance in this space. The app is free, and you can use it in free, ad-supported mode, but it becomes a lot more powerful and interesting if you pay for a YouTube Red subscription.

«Pour Pierre-Henri Tavoillot, président du Collège de philosophie et professeur à la Sorbonne, « sans acceptation sociale, tous les progrès technologiques ne seront pas saisis, même quand ils entraînent un gain par ailleurs ». Attachés comme nous le sommes aux relations humaines, avons-nous envie d’aller dans des restaurants sans serveurs, des supermarchés sans employés ou de regarder un match de football arbitré par la seule vidéo ? Dans le cas du foot, par exemple, « les règles le permettent, mais c’est un sport voyou où ce qui nous intéresse aussi, c’est de pouvoir dire que l’arbitre est nul, que tel joueur a fauté. Un monde complètement rationnel serait d’un ennui total », analyse le philosophe».

«The online retailer is inviting people to an office in New York to measure small changes in size and shape over the course of 20 weeks. Those chosen via a survey to participate in the 10, semimonthly visits will receive Amazon gift cards worth up to $250, according to an invitation reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. “We are interested in understanding how bodies change shape over time,” according to the survey. The invite comes from Amazon’s new 3-D body scanning unit, an outgrowth of its acquisition last year of computer vision startup Body Labs.

Accurately predicting how a pair of jeans or a suit will fit is a Holy Grail for retail. Technology to model a human body and how clothing will look on it has a wide range of applications, from being able to prevent returns of ill-fitting garments to on-demand printing and production».

«If I’m not paying for Facebook, am I the product? No. Our product is social media – the ability to connect with the people that matter to you, wherever they are in the world. It’s the same with a free search engine, website or newspaper. The core product is reading the news or finding information – and the ads exist to fund that experience.If you’re not selling advertisers my data, what are you giving them? We sell advertisers space on Facebook – much like TV or radio or newspapers do. We don’t sell your information. When an advertiser runs a campaign on Facebook, we share reports about the performance of their ad campaign. We could, for example, tell an advertiser that more men than women responded to their ad, and that most people clicked on the ad from their phone».

«Facebook is bringing « dark posts » into the light in response to the election interference on social media last year, and the new rules will impact all advertisers.On Friday, Facebook revealed a new system of disclosing what groups and companies paid for ads on its platform: Any ads running on Facebook will be readily viewable by anyone.That means no more so-called dark posts, ads that target only a particular set of people but are invisible otherwise because they never appear as posts on a brand or group’s page».

«Le capitalisme de surveillance est profondément ancré dans notre société de plus en plus informatisée, et si l’étendue de celle-ci venait à être révélée, il y aurait de larges demandes de réglementations. Mais parce que cette industrie peut fonctionner en grande partie dans le secret et l’opacité, seulement occasionnellement exposée après une violation de données ou un rapport d’enquête, nous demeurons la plupart du temps ignorants de sa portée réelle» – Bruce Schneier, via Hubert Guillaud.
