Palestra de Bruno Latour:

Palestra do filósofo e antropólogo francês Bruno Latour, na Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da USP, em ocasião do evento Fronteira do ‘Pensamento Palco das Ideias’.

What Big Data Means for Cities: Artigo que discute como o paradigma do Big Data pode ajudar as cidades a serem mais eficazes.

Cities are created human environments. They are ecosystems of energy and matter imagined into existence through human effort. Because cities are essentially ideas transformed into action, they are creatures of information and a Big Data problem. By breathing in the torrents of data cities generate every second, Big Data scientists and engineers believe they can make cities efficient, effective and responsive to human needs in ways that will reshape their very nature.”

Unused buildings and Open Data in Bologna: the need for a shared vision: A prefeitura de Bologna, na Itália, acaba de lançar uma aplicação que permite que as pessoas visualizem dados sobre as propriedades do estado – em especial, as não utilizadas.

“In the map, people may consult three kinds of properties: unused buildings (i.e. those that dont satisfy legal requirements are impracticable or are not large enough for public use), commercial buildings (with position and description) or buildings of value (with expected council’s interventions). The viewers can also suggest their own ideas for the possible usage of these buildings directly to the municipality, using this email addressspazi@comune.bologna.it

A evolução do mapeamento cicloviário: Post do Transporte Ativo que conta a história do mapeamento cicloviário carioca e organiza algumas ferramentas para estimular a iniciativa.

The Internet Of Wild Things: Introducing The First Smart VibratorBefore Vibease, the world’s first smart vibrator had been on crowd-funding site Indiegogo for 24 hours, it had already earned double its $15,000 funding goal. But to spokesperson Hermione Way, it’s no surprise. As a woman in a long distance relationship (she’s in San Francisco, he’s in London), she can’t wait to use it herself.

It’s Skype sex 2.0,” she said. “You can actually have a physical long distance relationship with this.”

“What SimCity 5 Teaches Us About Big Data”: Post do The Tibco Blog mostrando como os dados simulados always-on de SimCity 5 podem ajudar a entender a ideia por trás do paradigma de Big Data.

Big Data is not about creating clever and targeted consumer marketing campaigns. Big Data is happening all around us, and what Electronic Arts has done is bring that to the attention of everyone who embarks on building a world in SimCity 5“.

Big Data and Social Science: Some mobile apps could soon display information that allows consumers to decide at a glance whether the apps are good for them: notices about whether their apps collect certain personal details from users — including health and social networking data — or share user-specific data with entities like advertising networks or consumer data resellers.

Proposing a ‘Nutrition Label’ for Mobile Apps: Advogados e desenvolvedores discutem um código de conduta de aplicativos a respeito do levantamento incauto de dados de seus usuários.

A variety of groups, including app developers and consumer advocates, have agreed to test a voluntary code of conduct that would require participating app developers to offer short-form notices about whether their apps collect certain personal details from users — including health and social networking data — or share user-specific data with entities like advertising networks or consumer data resellers“.

Literatura em pílulas: Escritores adotam a “gramática” do Twitter e investem em gêneros que vão do nanoconto ao romance.
