  • 85 cents of every new dollar in online advertising went to Google or Facebook in early 2016
  • The developers who wrote Drupal and Wordpress, two important pieces of blogging software, both recently expressed anxiety over the open web’s future. Since so many of these social networks are operated by algorithms, whose machinations are proprietary knowledge, they worry that people are losing any control over what they see when they log on. The once-polyphonic blogosphere, they say, will turn into the web of mass-manufactured schlock.
  • For all the talk of their radical openness, blogs had mostly been the domain of those with hosting space, programming experience, and the time to write them

  • If your job was to feed people, but you were only measured by the efficiency of calories delivered, you may learn over time that high-calorie, high-processed foods were the most efficient ways to deliver calories,” he says. They would be the most margin-friendly way to deliver calories. But the food still wouldn’t be good—because the original metric didn’t take into account “sustainability, or health, or nourishment, or happiness of the people.”
  • Google and Facebook, just two companies, send more than 80 percent of all traffic to news sites. (No wonder they make 85 cents of every digital-ad dollar.

Can Rap Genius Annotate the World? -- NYMag - 3 views

    "They've shortened the company's name to Genius and secured $40 million in funding to plunge fully into a Silicon Valley "pivot": the transition from doing one thing better than anyone else-annotating rap lyrics-to doing something bigger and bolder-"annotating the world," a capaciously vague ambition that no one, themselves included, is certain they can pull off. Annotation has been a Silicon Valley dream since the invention of the first web browser, but it has yet to produce an elegant solution comparable to what Wikipedia did with the crowdsourced encyclopedia. The Genius founders see their platform as a means for enlightened discussion in contrast to the dark world of the internet comment. Users can upload a text, click on any word, and add whatever context they deem worthwhile."

    "Duolingo for schools offers a window into the future of education technology. It shows us how interactive digital technologies can be used to create a more equitable educational landscape, not just in the U.S., but globally. It reminds us why we all bought into these networked technologies in the first place. Data-driven solutions don't have to be all about corporate growth, they can also be about creating innovative ways to improve humanity's lived experience in the world."

    Understand first the purpose of gesture. It's more important than you might think. Intents, ideas, emotions, desires, decisions, wants, urges - they all originate within our unconscious minds. Once the unconscious mind has cooked them up, the next thing that happens is that you begin to act on them. Only after you begin to move does your conscious mind kick into gear and become aware of what's going on.

    You need gesture, in fact, in order to know what you're thinking. Literally. Stifle your gestures and limit your thinking - your conscious awareness of what's going on in the depths of your mind.
