The Insidious Evils of 'Like' Culture - WSJ.com - 1 views

  • A status update that is met with no likes (or a clever tweet that isn't retweeted) becomes the equivalent of a joke met with silence. It must be rethought and rewritten. And so we don't show our true selves online, but a mask designed to conform to the opinions of those around us.
  • "Like" culture is antithetical to the concept of self-esteem, which a healthy individual should be developing from the inside out rather than from the outside in.
  • The psychoanalyst Erich Fromm presciently wrote over 60 years ago that man has "constructed a complicated social machine to administer the technical machine he built…. The more powerful and gigantic the forces are which he unleashes, the more powerless he feels himself as a human being. He is owned by his creations, and has lost ownership of himself."

The risks and rewards of a health data commons - O'Reilly Radar - 1 views

  • It’s pretty hard to do anything beyond a gift. It’s more like organ donation, where you don’t get to decide where the organs go. What I’m working on is basically a donation, not a conditional gift.
  • people’s attitudes toward risk and benefit change depending on their circumstances. Their own context really affects what they think is risky and what they think isn’t risky.
  • I believe that the early data donors are likely to be people for whom there isn’t a lot of risk perceived because the health system already knows that they’re sick. The health system is already denying them coverage, denying their requests for PET scans, denying their requests for access to care. That’s based on actuarial tables, not on their personal data. It’s based on their medical history.

  • We would like to see exactly how effective big computational approaches are on health data. The problem is that there are two ways to get there. One is through a set of monopoly companies coming together and working together. That’s how semiconductors work. The other is through an open network approach. There’s not a lot of evidence that things besides these two approaches work. Government intervention is probably not going to work.

    Merci à @CathyBazinet pour le lien via Twitter Fully 85% of U.S. adults own a cell phone. Half own smartphones, which expands their mobile internet access and enables mobile software applications. One in three cell phone owners (31%) have used their phone to look for health information. In a comparable, national survey conducted two years ago, 17% of cell phone owners had used their phones to look for health advice. Smartphone owners lead this activity: 52% gather health information on their phones, compared with 6% of non-smartphone owners. Cell phone owners who are Latino, African American, between the ages of 18-49, or hold a college degree are also more likely to gather health information this way.

    All of the people we spoke to for this piece are very effective speakers, and though each has their own distinctive style, there are a few other commonalities I'd like to point out. First, none of them depend on word-laden PowerPoint presentations. Second, most are good storytellers and use humor, often self-deprecating, to connect with their audiences. Finally, each of them manages to keep their presentations short enough to allow time for a healthy Q&A.

  • The right to the "silence of the chips". The Commission will launch a debate about whether individuals should be able to disconnect from their networked environment at any moment. Citizens should be able to read basic RFID (Radio Frequency Identification Devices) tags – and destroy them too – to preserve their privacy. Such rights are likely to become more important as RFID and other wireless technologies become small enough to be invisible.

  • Google fusion tablesThis online database and mapping tool has become our default for producing quick and detailed maps, especially those where you need to zoom in. You get all the high resolution of google maps but it can open a lot of data - 100mb of CSV, for instance. The first time you try it, Fusion tables may seem a little tricky - but stick with it.
  • Tableau PublicIf you don't need the unlimited space of the professional edition, this is free - and means you can make pretty complex visualisations simply and easily with up to 100,000 rows. We use it when we need to bring different types of charts together - as in this map of top tax rates around the world, which also has a bar chart too.
  • After something simple - like a bar or line chart, or a pie chart? You'll find that Google spreadsheets (which you create from the documents bit of your Google account) can create some pretty nice charts - including the animated bubbles used by Hans Rosling's Gapminder. Unlike the charts API you don't need to worry about code -

  • Having said that, there is a simplicity and beauty to its bubble charts that no-one else has matched - and the word link graphic which we used below is a very useful way of showing how language links together. It's also linked to the Wordle site - which although now deeply unfashionable with designer types - is still a lovely way to show word frequency (if not much else).
  • Not, strictly speaking, a visualisation tool, Color Brewer - originally designed with federal funding and developed at Penn State - is really for choosing map colors, and is worth spending some time with if plan to make many more.
  • it's also worth checking out this DailyTekk piece which has even more options. The ones above aren't the only tools, just those we use most frequently. There are lots of others out there too, including: • Chartsbin A tool for creating clickable world maps• iCharts Specialises in small chart widgets• Geocommons Shares data and boundary data to create global and local mapsOh and there's also piktochart.com, which provides templates for those text/numbers viz there are a lot of around at the moment.

    What data visualisation tools are out there on the web that are easy to use - and free? Here on the Datablog and Datastore we try to do as much as possible using the internet's powerful free options.

La rivoluzione che serve all'Italia si chiama open gov [Buongiorno wikitalia!] | Riccar... - 3 views

  • Il governo-wiki, ovvero l’amministrazione che prende a modello ed utilizza gli strumenti collaborativi usati per esempio ogni giorno da migliaia di estensori anonimi e volontari di Wikipedia, è ormai oggetto di discussioni tutt’altro che accademiche; e la Wikicrazia (termine lanciato un paio di anni fa da un dirigente dell’Unione Europea ad un barcamp di hacker in Danimarca e poi adottato da Alberto Cottica per intitolare un libro fondamentale sul tema), è molto più dell’ultima nuova idea: per molti è l’unica via per ridare slancio all’azione di governo al tempo di Internet.
  • La stessa che consentì ad un gruppo di hacker di mettere su in poche ore e gratuitamente Katrinalist, un sito che aggiornava in tempo reale la lista dei sopravvisuti all’uragano di New Orleans, mentre il governo Bush annaspava.
  • grazie alla progressiva diffusione della banda larga e all’inevitabile arrivo al potere di una generazione di nativi digitali, è convinzione comune che entro il 2020 “le forme di cooperazione online accresceranno la disponibilità di governi, aziende, istituzioni ed organizzazioni no-profit a recepire e soddisfare più apertamente le necessità della popolazione” (conclusione del report 2010 della Elon University e del Pew Research Center).

  • Al giorno d’oggi, per la pubblica amministrazione limitarsi ad avere dei siti dove i cittadini possono ottenere informazioni e richiedere certificati senza fare la fila vuol dire offrire sì un servizio utile (che pure in Italia stenta a decollare), ma in definitiva significa usare solo una parte infinitesima della potenza della rete non risolvendo il problema della modesta qualità media delle decisioni politiche.
  • ci sono due condizioni da soddisfare, e un requisito. La prima condizione è adottare la trasparenza radicale. I palazzi della politica, che siano parlamenti, consigli regionali o municipali, devono diventare palazzi di vetro dove ciascun cittadino possa guardare dentro e concludere che non ci sono trucchi o inganni. Poter sapere in tempo reale o quasi cosa fanno i nostri rappresentanti nelle assemblee elettive e negli organi esecutivi, se sono presenti, per cosa hanno votato, quali interventi hanno fatto, non è uno strumento informativo per le lobbies o un’arma nelle mani di chi odia la casta. E’ il presupposto indispensabile
  • La seconda condizione è liberare i dati. L’Open Data, ovvero la disponibilità dei dati pubblici in formati adeguati alla consultazione e alla elaborazione, è un passaggio essenziale per favorire la partecipazione creativa. Un lavoro creativo sui dati serve non solo a svelare fenomeni complessi contribuendo a darne una lettura diversa, ma è lo strumento per creare applicazioni che offrano servizi utili al cittadino
  • “è un riconoscimento del fatto che la creatività e l’ingegnosità del nostro popolo sono molto superiori a quella di chiunque lavori a Washington”.
  • commento in tempo reale ad una delibera in discussione, la segnalazione di un disservizio (è il caso di fixmystreet o seeclicfix), e persino la partecipazione ad un gruppo di discussione per elaborare una soluzione complessa o un progetto. Ma perché ciò avvenga c’è un requisito essenziale: la tecnologia deve essere facile.
  • Si tratta di convogliare quella voglia di partecipare, dalla campagna elettorale alla amministrazione quotidiana della città. La tecnologia in gran parte già esiste e costa poco. Gli sviluppatori di software in Italia sono tanti e bravi.

    Molto interessante. Grazie Nicola. Dovremmo mandarlo in "giro" negli ambienti politici e amministrativi per l'open gov....

    il sito 'wikitalia' in realtà si rivolge principalmente ai Comuni, ma secondo me ci potrebbero essere molte informazioni utili nascoste anche nei dati del Servizio Sanitario...Let's set our data free!

    Great finding Nicolas! If you guys want more about open data or open gov you can check my Diigo library with tags like : opendata, open, government, egovernment, etc.
