But if in the process we learn how to achieve it by love rather than by fear, by kindness rather than compulsion; if in the process we learn how to combine the essential with the enjoyable, the expedient with the benevolent, the practical with the beautiful, this will be an extra incentive to embark on this great task. Above all, remember your humanity. -- Sir Joseph Rotblat Links: ------ [1] http://www.isti.cnr.it

Fwd: Building a 21st Century Congress: A Playbook for Modern Technology Assessment
by J.C. DE MARTIN June 23, 2021

June 23, 2021

Non l'ho ancora letto, ma di primo acchito mi sembra interessante. jc -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Building a 21st Century Congress: A Playbook for Modern Technology Assessment Date: Mon, 21 Jun 2021 12:39:37 -0600 From: Technology and Public Purpose Project <belfer_tapp(a)comms.hks.harvard.edu> Harvard Kennedy School To protect the lives and livelihoods of all Americans, the 117th Congress and the Biden Administration must prepare to take a deeper look at the social impacts of emerging technologies. Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs <https://click.comms.hks.harvard.edu/?qs=14266187ec534f3211dc5cee3d658728250…> The U.S. Capitol building with the sun rising in the background Building a 21st Century Congress: A Playbook for Modern Technology Assessment The next generation of technologies will be transformative. How those technologies – from artificial intelligence to synthetic biology tools – are developed, distributed, and managed will affect how societies reap their benefits and mitigate their costs. To protect the lives and livelihoods of all Americans, the 117th Congress and the Biden Administration must prepare to take a deeper look at the social impacts of emerging technologies, *Mike Miesen* and*Laura Manley* write in a new report, “Building a 21st Century Congress: A Playbook for Modern Technology Assessment <https://click.comms.hks.harvard.edu/?qs=14266187ec534f3264fc94a68f9bac6125f…>.” This deeper look, they write, must come from the discipline of technology assessment. Technology assessment is a powerful tool for surfacing the implications of critical or emerging technologies. The authors recommend that Congress and the Executive Office of the President (EOP) incorporate four “pillars” of effective technology assessment into their processes. Those pillars are strong governance; responsiveness to consumer needs; input from experts; and a presentation of policy options, not answers. For governance, the report recommends a permanent standing body capable of providing long-term guidance with short-term external advisory groups. Regarding consumer needs, technology assessments should “scratch real itches,” responding to needs of the end user or people directly impacted by the technology, Miesen and Manley write. Inputs on technology assessments should come from a broad range of expert sources, within and outside the government. Importantly, a technology assessment should present a range of options, not a single recommendation. “Technology assessment is a process, not an outcome; a set of tools, not a solution,” Miesen and Manley write. “With the start of a new Congress and a new presidential administration, now is the right time to refocus on technology assessment principles and recommit to the thorough analysis of critical and emerging technologies that is vital for crafting sound legislation, appropriating federal research and development dollars, and more.” Read the Report » <https://click.comms.hks.harvard.edu/?qs=14266187ec534f322089a18279ab23dee11…> Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs Harvard Kennedy School of Government 79 John F.

Why Computing Students Should Contribute to Open Source Software Projects
by VETRO' ANTONIO June 23, 2021

June 23, 2021

Bella idea, con annessa struttura del corso che l’autore dell’articolo tiene nella propria università. Pratica da imitare, a mio parere. https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2021/7/253459-why-computing-students-should-… "By contributing to open source projects, students acquire in practice a formidable range of skills, knowledge, and experiences, allowing them to work productively as modern well-rounded developers rather than as the lone-wolf coders portrayed by Hollywood" antonio

Infrastrutture IT, il dilemma della PA: ferro o nuvole?
by Antonio Iacono June 22, 2021

June 22, 2021

"... cose semplici e con pochi fronzoli, concrete, solide, anche non seducenti, ma che non si rompono mai, il cui TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) è al giusto livello, e senza forti vincoli futuri." Non posso non apprezzare l'articolo di Simone Brunozzi [1]. La frase che ho citato mi contraddistingue da sempre. Sono/siamo una minoranza? Può essere. Siamo quelli che ritengono che la tecnologia debba essere un mezzo, uno strumento, e non il fine? Può darsi. Una strada non deve essere lastricata d'oro ma in un brutto asfalto nero.

Thirty Tesla crashes linked to assisted driving system under investigation in US | Tesla | The Guardian
by Alberto Cammozzo June 18, 2021

June 18, 2021

E in Europa? <https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/jun/18/thirty-tesla-crashes-lin… <https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/jun/18/thirty-tesla-crashes-lin…>> US safety regulators have opened 30 investigations into Tesla crashes involving 10 deaths since 2016 where an advanced driver assistance system was suspected to have been in use. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released a list offering details about crashes under review by its special crash investigations programs. The agency, which has previously confirmed some specific Tesla crash investigations, had not previously released to Reuters a full accounting of all Tesla crashes investigated where Tesla’s Autopilot system was suspected of being involved. Of the 30 Tesla crashes, NHTSA has ruled out Tesla’s Autopilot in three and published reports on two of the crashes. Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment. NHTSA has said previously it had opened 28 special crash investigations into Tesla crashes, with 24 pending. The spreadsheet shows a February 2019 crash where Autopilot use was undetermined. Autopilot, which handles some driving tasks, was operating in at least three Tesla vehicles involved in fatal US crashes since 2016, investigators have said. The spreadsheet shows NHTSA has opened eight investigations into Tesla crashes since March.

A proposito del DDL "UNIRE" (connettività in ambito scolastico)

La Senatrice Mantovani ha appena pubblicato questo: =========== DL FONDONE, ISTITUITO IL FONDO PER LA RETE DI INTERCONNESSIONE DELLE SCUOLE In commissione Bilancio al Senato abbiamo appena approvato un emendamento molto importante, di cui sono prima firmataria, al decreto "fondo complementare" destinato a impattare positivamente sul futuro della #scuola <https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/scuola?__eep__=6&source=feed_text&epa=HASH…> italiana. Si tratta dell'istituzione di un fondo di 135 milioni di euro per la creazione della Rete di interconnessione unica nazionale dell'#istruzione <https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/istruzione?__eep__=6&source=feed_text&epa=…> "UNIRE", che consentirà alle scuole di fornire servizi digitali avanzati e di raggiungere alcuni obiettivi fondamentali come quello di collegare le scuole tra di loro, con gli uffici scolastici regionali, con il ministero dell'Istruzione e globalmente alla rete #Internet <https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/internet?__eep__=6&source=feed_text&epa=HA…>. Inoltre sarà possibile fornire alle scuole servizi di rete di base, di memorizzazione dati e #Cloud <https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/cloud?__eep__=6&source=feed_text&epa=HASHT…> Computing, ma anche sviluppare e fornire il servizio unico nazionale per la didattica digitale integrata, che anche dopo la #pandemia <https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/pandemia?__eep__=6&source=feed_text&epa=HA…> continuerà ad avere un ruolo centrale per la didattica e in generale per la formazione di tutti gli studenti. Siamo davvero soddisfatti per aver raggiunto questo obiettivo, che segnerà un autentico punto di svolta, ne siamo certi, per l'intero mondo scolastico. ============ Fonte: https://www.facebook.com/lallamantovaniM5S/posts/853364108597384 -- Damiano Verzulli e-mail: damiano(a)verzulli.it --- possible?ok:while(!possible){open_mindedness++} --- "...I realized that free software would not generate the kind of income that was needed.
