    Sulla proposta del gruppo glda12/agur12 di costringere i fornitori di accesso internet a spedire avvertimenti ai clienti quando usano un sito per scaricare gratuitamente musica o film, e a bloccare completamente l'accesso ai siti palesemente illegali. Versione archiviata con website dell'articolo originale, per via del banner che dice che l'accesso all'articolo è a pagamento, ma che "è stato liberato specialmente per Lei" - chissà quanto durerà la liberazione speciale?

    Biochemistry is complicated. I've been assigned a paper on a topic I don't understand at all. How can I implement it without knowledge?
  •  
    At the end of that year, I needed to prepare a report on biochemistry. Need I say that I understood nothing about it? I found this website to help me with it. The team completed my task on time and did it very well. In addition, their prices are quite reasonable. So I think that they will be able to help you.

Three hilarious shadow puppets narrate both ancient tragedy and modern comedy in this beautifully animated interpretation of the Indian epic Ramayana. Set to the 1920's jazz vocals of Annette Hanshaw, Sita Sings the Blues earns its tagline as "the Greatest Break-Up Story Ever Told." "

    È un film stupendo di per sé. È molto interessante anche la "video description" (audio descrizione) per i non vedenti. Forse una possibile attività, non dico in L2, ma nella formazione linguistica in generale?

10.3263 - La Svizzera ha bisogno di una legge contro lo scaricamento illegale di musica... - 0 views

  •  
    "10.3263 - Postulato La Svizzera ha bisogno di una legge contro lo scaricamento illegale di musica da Internet? Depositato da Savary Géraldine Data del deposito 19.03.2010 Depositato in Consiglio degli Stati Stato attuale Trasmesso Testo depositato Il Consiglio federale è incaricato di redigere un rapporto sulla situazione in fatto di scaricamento illegale di musica da Internet e di studiare le misure per ovviare a tale problema (...) Parere del Consiglio federale del 12.05.2010 Il 1° luglio 2008 è entrata in vigore una revisione parziale della legge sul diritto d'autore, con cui sono state apportate le modifiche legali necessarie in ambito digitale. A tale proposito il Parlamento ha discusso anche se permettere l'uso personale pure nei casi in cui l'opera in questione viene messa a disposizione su Internet senza il consenso del titolare del diritto. Dopo intensi dibattiti il Parlamento ha rinunciato a limitare i casi in cui è consentito l'uso personale. A suo avviso, una tale limitazione è sproporzionata, inconciliabile con la protezione della sfera privata e comporta una poco auspicata criminalizzazione di massa dei consumatori. Gli stessi timori depongono anche a sfavore dell'introduzione di una normativa legale analoga alla soluzione francese, che prevede di bloccare l'accesso a Internet ai privati in caso di violazioni ripetute. Tuttavia il titolare del diritto non è sprovvisto di protezione. In virtù del diritto d'autore ha la possibilità di procedere sia contro i fornitori sia contro i gestori di piattaforme di "file sharing". Una tale procedura va privilegiata anche per motivi di economia processuale. Appare infatti più opportuno procedere contro un gestore di piattaforma piuttosto che contro tutti gli utenti della piattaforma in questione. Eventualmente si potrebbe prevedere, d'intesa con i gestori di piattaforme, di concludere un accordo di licenza per il "file sharing" dei loro utenti. L'attuale legge sul diritto d'autore

Gastkommentar zu Big Data: Die Erkenntnis von nichts - NZZ.ch Manfred Schneider 2013-12-30 - 1 views

  •  
    "... Big Data sind vor allem Massen von Informationen, die wie ein digitales Biotop Heerscharen von Propheten hervorbringen, deren Augen bereits in das Morgenrot einer neuen Menschheitsepoche vordringen. Was allerdings auffällt, wenn man sich ein wenig durch den wachsenden Bücher- und Artikelberg zum Thema arbeitet, ist, dass sich die Beispiele für neuartige und spektakuläre Big-Data-Analysen wiederholen. Ganz vorneweg läuft ein Artikel in der Zeitschrift «Nature» aus dem Jahr 2009, der über die Zusammenarbeit von staatlichen Epidemiologen und Google-Mitarbeitern berichtete, die zwischen 2003 und 2008 ein Verfahren zur möglichen Prävention von Grippe-Epidemien entwickelt haben. Sie korrelierten einschlägige Suchmaschinen-Nachfragen nach Grippe-Symptomen, Medikamenten, Antibiotika in bestimmten Regionen mit der Frequenz von Arztbesuchen und stellten damit ein prognostisches Modell für den Verlauf einer Epidemie auf. Zuvor wurden aus mehreren hundert Milliarden Google-Anfragen rund 50 Millionen ausgefiltert, deren Stichworte dem Grippe-Thema zugewiesen werden konnten. Jetzt erlauben es avancierte Rechenverfahren, die Entwicklung einer Seuche beinahe in Echtzeit zu verfolgen und dabei Vorbeugemassnahmen zu treffen. Das Beispiel ist schlagend, vor allem darum, weil es sich unmittelbar ins Reich des Menschheitsheils fügt. Wer will künftig seine Google-Anfragen noch unter Datenschutz stellen, wenn es doch - das oberste Pathosregister ist hier am Platze - um das Leben von Tausenden geht? Die übrigen Beispiele, die die Big-Data-Literatur zur Verfügung stellt, fallen eher in das Feld des smarten Kommerzes. Dass Jeff Bezos, der Gründer von Amazon, seine Bücher nicht von Kritikern anpreisen lässt, sondern den Kunden immer wieder Bücher empfiehlt, die sie eigentlich bereits gelesen haben, ist eine solche smarte Big-Data-Idee. Wer ein Buch über Hühner bestellt, bekommt kurz darauf eines über Hähne empfohlen. Im Prinzip geht es darum, Real-Time-Informa

    OK, questa opinione libera è in tedesco, poco insegnato in Italia - poi per giunta è scritta da un professore di letteratura, perciò Google traduttore - se si mette l'URL in http://translate.google.com/ - a volte se la cava sorprendentemente bene, a volte produce parole alla rinfusa.
