Firenze: capitale mondiale delle "mappe libere" ... per tre giorni
by Damiano Verzulli Aug. 30, 2022

Aug. 30, 2022

Scopro per caso che oggi, domani e dopodomani, Firenze ospita "State of the Map 2022" [1] l'evento annuale per i "mappatori" (liberi) e gli utenti di OpenStreetMap. Quello delle mappe è --iMHO-- un tema sottovalutato: dopo la de-googlizzazione del mio smartphone, OpenStreetMap è l'unica fonte di informazioni che posso utilizzare, nello specifico attraverso l'app OsmAnd. È fondamentale, quindi, che il relativo ecosistema sia "vivo" e continui a crescere. Mi ha fatto piacere leggere nel programma [2] diversi titoli che evidenziano chiaramente diversi utilizzi delle mappe, resi possibili soltanto perché il layer sottostante "è libero" e --aggiungo-- avulso dalle logiche di mercato. Tra gli interventi mi ha colpito quello dal titolo: "OpenStreetMap in schools: The case study of Bari" [3] ==================== Ferdinando Traversa Rosa Colacicco (Wikimedia Italy, YouthMappers@UniBA) OpenStreetMap has proven to be a really interesting and valuable classroom instrument. Making students work with OSM allows them to develop the soft skills entailed in cooperation, to interact with something bigger than their class or school and to give their contribution for the sake of the collectivity. In this particular experienced, we worked on the local area of Bari with a class with 17 female students of a "Liceo Economico-Sociale", a school not particularly engaged in the STEM field. Thus, we also wanted to help them get more confident with the STEM field, which desperately need more diversity. Furthermore, focus has been on accessibility. ===================== Tempo fa, su questa lista, qualcuno provo' a sensibilizzare gli accademici a coinvolgere i propri studenti nelle dinamiche F/OSS, anche stimolando lo sviluppo di tesi di laurea in tal senso. Non mi pare abbia avuto seguito... e a Firenze, non mi pare di vedere nel programma degli interventi di Universita' (non solo Italiane....). Complimenti ai docenti della scuola di Bari, quindi. Ritengo che la loro sia stata una iniziativa super-lodevole, che mi piacerebbe venisse estesa in qualche modo anche a livello universitario, in qualche Ateneo. Un saluto, DV P.S.: in ogni caso, complimenti anche a UniFirenze perché gia' solo aver messo a disposizione una delle sue location, è gia' tanto...

"No Take-Backs: Moderna’s Attempt to Renege on its Vaccine Patent Pledge"
by Maurizio Borghi Aug. 30, 2022

Aug. 30, 2022

Segnalo un contributo, molto ben argomentato (a mio parere), sulla recente causa intentata da Moderna contro Pfizer e BioNTech. Il tema riguarda il valore legale di dichiarazioni con cui un titolare di brevetto si impegna pubblicamente a non far valere il proprio titolo legale (con importanti ricadute sulle "licenze pubbliche" piu' in generale). *No Take-Backs: Moderna’s Attempt to Renege on its Vaccine Patent Pledge* August 29, 2022 By Jorge L. Contreras On October 8, 2020, Moderna, the maker of one of the first mRNA-based vaccines for COVID-19 and the recipient of billions of dollars of U.S. government funding, announced that it felt “a special obligation … to use our resources to bring this pandemic to an end as quickly as possible.” As a result, it publicly promised that “while the pandemic continues, Moderna will not enforce our COVID-19 related patents against those making vaccines intended to combat the pandemic.” Moderna broke that promise on August 26, 2022, when it sued Pfizer and BioNTech, the producers of a competing mRNA vaccine, for patent infringement in the U.S. and Germany. This post explains why Moderna’s lawsuits should fail given its irrevocable and continuing nonenforcement pledge.

Facebook agrees to settle Cambridge Analytica data privacy lawsuit | Facebook | The Guardian
by Alberto Cammozzo Aug. 29, 2022

Aug. 29, 2022

<https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/aug/26/facebook-cambridge-analy…> Meta’s Facebook has in principle agreed to settle a lawsuit in the San Francisco federal court seeking damages for letting third parties, including Cambridge Analytica, access the private data of users, a court filing showed. The financial terms were not disclosed in the filing on Friday that asked the judge to put the class-action suit on hold for 60 days until the lawyers for both plaintiffs and Facebook finalize a written settlement. The four-year-old lawsuit alleged that Facebook violated consumer privacy laws by sharing personal data of users with third parties such as the now-defunct British political consultancy Cambridge Analytica. Facebook has said its privacy practices are consistent with its disclosures and “do not support any legal claims”. Facebook and its lawyers from Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher did not immediately respond to a request for more details regarding the settlement. Of the two law firms representing the plaintiffs, Keller Rohrback did not comment while Bleichmar Fonti & Auld declined to comment.

Socialite who charmed Nato staff in Naples was Russian spy, say investigators | Espionage | The Guardian
by Alberto Cammozzo Aug. 29, 2022

Aug. 29, 2022

Database leaks e riconoscimento facciale come strumenti di controspionaggio. <https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/aug/26/socialite-who-charmed-nato-st…> A team of investigators claim to have unmasked a deep-cover spy from Russia’s military intelligence agency, the GRU, who spent a decade posing as a Latin American jewellery designer and partied with Nato staff based in Naples. The investigators say the woman went by the name of Maria Adela Kuhfeldt Rivera, and told people she met that she was the child of a German father and Peruvian mother, born in the city of Callao, Peru. In fact, she was a career GRU officer from Russia, according to research by Bellingcat in partnership with a number of media outlets including La Repubblica in Italy and Der Spiegel in Germany, and shared with the Guardian before publication. “Rivera” was what the intelligence community call an illegal, a deep-cover agent trained to pose as a foreigner. Moscow’s intelligence agencies have used illegals since the early Soviet period. Sometimes, they stay living in their fake identities for decades. Posing as “Rivera”, the illegal moved between Rome, Malta and Paris, eventually settling in Naples, home of Nato’s Allied Joint Force Command, around 2013. She set up a jewellery boutique called Serein and led an active social life. Her acquaintances said that by taking on the role of secretary at the Naples branch of the international Lions Club, she was able to befriend many Nato staff and other affiliates. One Nato employee told the investigators that he had a brief romantic relationship with “Rivera”. Traditionally, illegals have been extremely hard for counterintelligence agencies to find, but in a world of biometric data, facial recognition software and open source investigation possibilities, it has become harder for Russia to keep its illegals below the radar. Christo Grozev, Bellingcat’s CEO and lead investigator, said in an interview that he had first found the trail of a possible GRU illegal when he was looking at a leaked database of border crossings logged by Belarusian border guards and provided by a group of hackers in opposition to the regime of Alexander Lukashenko. Grozev searched for Russian passport numbers in ranges known to have been used by GRU operatives, and found numerous hits. Most had Russian names, but one stood out: Maria Adela Kuhfeldt Rivera. Looking more closely at “Rivera”, Grozev found that she travelled on several Russian passports with serial numbers in a range used by other known GRU operatives, including an officer who had been indicted for the alleged novichok poisoning of the Bulgarian arms dealer Emilian Gebrev, and another GRU officer reportedly involved in the attack on Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Salisbury in 2018. He also discovered that on 15 September 2018, “Rivera” bought a ticket from Naples to Moscow. The previous day, Bellingcat and its Russian investigative partner, the Insider, published an article on the two Salisbury poisoners, who travelled under the cover identities Ruslan Boshirov and Alexander Petrov, noting irregularities in their passport data suggesting they had security services links. It seems “Rivera” was withdrawn by her bosses, who feared that other operatives with similar passport numbers could be compromised. She does not appear to have left Russia again. Two months after her sudden departure from Naples, she posted a Facebook status in Italian, apparently as a way of explaining her disappearance and silence. “It’s the truth I must finally reveal … Hair is growing now after chemo, very short but it’s there. I miss everything, but I’m trying to breathe,” she wrote. Some GRU illegals only travel abroad for quick, short-term missions and change identities regularly, while others like “Rivera” spend years inhabiting the same cover identity. In June, the Netherlands deported a man arriving on a Brazilian passport in the name of Viktor Muller Ferreira, accusing him of being a Russian illegal named Sergey Vladimirovich Cherkasov. He had apparently spent a decade preparing his identity, including stints studying in Ireland and the US, and was suspected of trying to infiltrate the international criminal court in The Hague. The unusual thing about “Rivera” is that she travelled on a Russian passport, when usually illegals disguise their links to Russia or the Soviet Union. It seems that an earlier attempt to pass off “Rivera” as a Peruvian citizen failed: an official Peruvian document from 2006 notes that her application for citizenship was rejected as fraudulent. Apparently, unfazed by the setback, the GRU then relaunched the “Kuhfeldt Rivera” identity with a Russian passport. This was a strange decision, but it is possible she had already made valuable contacts under that identity and did not want to lose them. Numerous people who had met “Kuhfeldt Rivera” said she told them her Peruvian mother had taken her to the Soviet Union in 1980 and left her there. She had apparently tried various routes to gain a western European passport over the years. Bellingcat said it had identified the real Russian woman behind the fake “Rivera” persona, based on information and photo matching from various databases and open source research. She did not reply to requests for comment from the Guardian.

Salve Nexa, giacché se ne parlava proprio in questi giorni, vi segnalo che abbiamo appena pubblicato il nostro "speciale elezioni", dopo aver chiesto a 60 partiti politici di interrompere i trasferimenti transfrontalieri di dati personali, avviati sistematicamente dai propri siti web. Dati personali estremamente sensibili, come sono le opinioni politiche. Dati personali trasferiti spesso ancora prima che il visitatore del sito esprima una qualche forma di consenso. Trasferimenti che gettano un ombra sulle imminenti elezioni. Chiunque vinca. Se qualcuno vincerà. Comunque trovate tutto sul sito di Monitora PA: nei prossimi giorni pubblicheremo anche eventuali risposte che i partiti dovessero inviarci https://monitora-pa.it/2022/08/28/Speciale_Elezioni_2022.html A presto!

"PA e comunicazione social: il Comune di Arezzo chatta con i cittadini su WhatsApp" (su Agenda Digitale)
by Damiano Verzulli Aug. 14, 2022

Aug. 14, 2022

Ho appena ricevuto e letto questo interessante articolo. https://www.agendadigitale.eu/cittadinanza-digitale/pa-e-comunicazione-soci… Lo trovo "interessante", non perché descriva l'impiego di tecnologie innovative oppure citi un approccio di comunicazione, in ambito PA, particolarmente innovatore. Di fatto, se guardato asetticamente con gli occhi di un tecnologo, l'articolo non ha _NULLA_ di interessante. Ma se guardato con gli occhi di chi frequenta questa lista, ossia di qualcuno che ha contezza dei retroscena indotti dall'uso di certe tecnologie (mi riferisco a WhatsApp), specie se in ambito P.A., allora il discorso cambia. E cambia, perché rende evidente quella distanza siderale che esiste (...ed è in via di costante ampliamento) fra: * le necessita' di coloro che stanno sul campo (come coloro che, ad Arezzo, _HANNO_BISOGNO_ e _VOGLIONO_ risolvere i problemi di comunicazione che hanno con i loro cittadini) che elaborano ed implementano soluzioni che -- DAL LORO PUNTO DI VISTA -- risolvono egregiamente il (loro) problema; * la piena consapevolezza delle conseguenze dettate dall'uso degli strumenti tecnologici, specie (e soprattutto) in ambito P.A., anche (e soprattutto) in termini di aumento di "potere" e di "dominanza" da parte delle Big-Tech. Ora la domanda è: posto che a me, lo scenario tecnologico di Arezzo mi fa venire il bruciore allo stomaco, cosa avrebbero dovuto fare? Cosa avrebbero POTUTO fare? E perché non l'hanno fatto? È questa la discussione che trovo interessante.... perché temo che emergerà --ahimé-- che il caso di Arezzo è stato, di fatto, una scelta "obbligata", e che non sia possibile fare diversamente :-( Un saluto, DV P.S.: a scanso di equivoci, lascio agli atti degli archivi della mailing-list il fatto che non ho _NULLA_, assolutamente _NULLA_, contro i funzionari di Arezzo.

The solution to online abuse? AI plus human intelligence
by 380° Aug. 12, 2022

Aug. 12, 2022

Buongiorno nexiane, invio l'articolo completo perché la versione online funziona solo con javascript https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2022/08/online-abuse-artificial-intelligence… by Inbal Goldberger (VP of Trust and Safety, ActiveFence) Aug 10, 2022 --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Readers: Please be aware that this article has been shared on websites that routinely misrepresent content and spread misinformation. We ask you to note the following: 1) The content of this article is the opinion of the author, not the World Economic Forum. 2) Please read the piece for yourself. The Forum is committed to publishing a wide array of voices and misrepresenting content only diminishes open conversations. With 63% of the world’s population online, the internet is a mirror of society: it speaks all languages, contains every opinion and hosts a wide range of (sometimes unsavoury) individuals. As the internet has evolved, so has the dark world of online harms. Trust and safety teams (the teams typically found within online platforms responsible for removing abusive content and enforcing platform policies) are challenged by an ever-growing list of abuses, such as child abuse, extremism, disinformation, hate speech and fraud; and increasingly advanced actors misusing platforms in unique ways. The solution, however, is not as simple as hiring another roomful of content moderators or building yet another block list. Without a profound familiarity with different types of abuse, an understanding of hate group verbiage, fluency in terrorist languages and nuanced comprehension of disinformation campaigns, trust and safety teams can only scratch the surface. A more sophisticated approach is required. By uniquely combining the power of innovative technology, off-platform intelligence collection and the prowess of subject-matter experts who understand how threat actors operate, scaled detection of online abuse can reach near-perfect precision. * Online abuses are becoming more complex Since the introduction of the internet, wars have been fought, recessions have come and gone and new viruses have wreaked havoc. While the internet played a vital role in how these events were perceived, other changes – like the radicalization of extreme opinions, the spread of misinformation and the wide reach of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) – have been enabled by it. Online platforms’ attempts to stop these abuses have led to a Roadrunner meets Wile E. Coyote-like situation, where threat actors use increasingly sophisticated tactics to avoid evolving detection mechanisms. This has resulted in the development of new slang, like child predators referring to “cheese pizza” and other terms involving the letters c and p instead of “child pornography”. New methodologies are employed, such as using link shorteners to hide a reference to a disinformation website; and online abuse tactics, such as the off-platform coordination of attacks on minorities. * Traditional methods aren’t enough The basis of most harmful content detection methods is artificial intelligence (AI). This powerful technology relies on massive training sets to quickly identify violative behaviours at scale. Built on data sets of known online abuses in familiar languages means AI can detect known abuses in familiar languages, but it is less effective at detecting nuanced violations in languages it wasn't trained on – a gaping hole of which threat actors can take advantage. While providing speed and scale, AI also lacks context: a critical component of trust and safety work. For example, robust AI models exist to detect nudity but few can discern whether that nudity is part of a renaissance painting or a pornographic image. Similarly, most models can’t decipher whether the knife featured in a video is being used to promote a butcher’s equipment or a violent attack. This lack of context may lead to over-moderating, limiting free speech on online platforms; or under-moderating, which is a risk to user safety. In contrast to AI, human moderators and subject-matter experts can detect nuanced online abuse and understand many languages and cultures. This precision, however, is limited by the analyst’s specific area of expertise: a human moderator who is an expert in European white supremacy won’t necessarily be able to recognize harmful content in India or misinformation narratives in Kenya. This limited focus means that for human moderators to be effective, they must be part of large, robust teams – a demanding effort for most technology companies. The human element should also not be ignored. The thousands of moderators tasked with keeping abhorrent content offline must witness it themselves, placing them at high risk of mental illness and traumatic disorders. Beyond care for moderators, this situation may limit the operation’s effectiveness, as high churn and staffing instabilities lead to low organizational stability and inevitable moderation mistakes. * The "Trust & Safety" intelligent solution to detect online abuse While AI provides speed and scale and human moderators provide precision, their combined efforts are still not enough to proactively detect harm before it reaches platforms. To achieve proactivity, trust and safety teams must understand that abusive content doesn’t start and stop on their platforms. Before reaching mainstream platforms, threat actors congregate in the darkest corners of the web to define new keywords, share URLs to resources and discuss new dissemination tactics at length. These secret places where terrorists, hate groups, child predators and disinformation agents freely communicate can provide a trove of information for teams seeking to keep their users safe. The problem is that accessing this information is in no way scalable. Classic intelligence collection requires deep research, expertise, access and a fair amount of assimilation skills – human capacities that cannot be mimicked by a machine. * Baking in intelligence We’ve established that the standard process of AI algorithms for scale and human moderators for precision doesn’t adequately balance scale, novelty and nuance. We’ve also established that off-platform intelligence collecting can provide context and nuance, but not scale and speed. To overcome the barriers of traditional detection methodologies, we propose a new framework: rather than relying on AI to detect at scale and humans to review edge cases, an intelligence-based approach is crucial. By bringing human-curated, multi-language, off-platform intelligence into learning sets, AI will then be able to detect nuanced, novel online abuses at scale, before they reach mainstream platforms. Supplementing this smarter automated detection with human expertise to review edge cases and identify false positives and negatives and then feeding those findings back into training sets will allow us to create AI with human intelligence baked in. This more intelligent AI gets more sophisticated with each moderation decision, eventually allowing near-perfect detection, at scale. * The outcome The lag between the advent of novel abuse tactics and when AI can detect them is what allows online abuse to proliferate. Incorporating intelligence into the content moderation process allows teams to significantly reduce the time between when new online abuse methods are introduced and when AI can detect them. In this way, trust and safety teams can stop threats rising online before they reach users.

Will Europe Force a Facebook Blackout?
by Alberto Cammozzo Aug. 11, 2022

Aug. 11, 2022

<https://www.wired.com/story/facebook-eu-us-data-transfers/> Facebook faces trouble in Europe—and Meta wants you to know about it. Every three months since June 2018, the company has used its financial results to warn that it could be forced to stop running Facebook and Instagram across the continent—potentially pulling its apps from millions of people and thousands of businesses—if it can’t send data between the EU and the US. Whether Meta’s bluffing will become clear soon enough. Data regulators are on the verge of making a historic ruling in a years-long case, and they are expected to say Facebook’s data transfers across the Atlantic should be blocked. For years, Meta has fought against European privacy activists over how data is sent to the US, with courts ruling multiple times that European data isn’t properly protected and can potentially be snooped on by the NSA and other US intelligence agencies. While the case focuses on Meta, it has widespread ramifications, potentially impacting thousands of businesses across Europe that rely upon the services of Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and more. At the same time, US and European negotiators are scrambling to finalize a long-awaited new data-sharing deal that will limit what information US intelligence agencies can get their hands on. If negotiators can’t get it right, people’s privacy will remain at risk and billions of dollars of trade will be put in jeopardy. At the start of July, the Irish Data Protection Commission, Facebook’s main data regulator in Europe, issued a draft decision that would block Meta from sending data across the Atlantic. While the specifics of that draft decision aren’t known, if it is enacted, it could create a Facebook blackout across Europe. Under the GDPR, Europe’s data law, countries across the continent get 30 days to scrutinize Ireland’s Meta decision and respond with any potential changes or complaints. That time is now up. A spokesperson for the Irish regulator says “some” objections have been received from a “small” number of other countries and it is working to address these. Experts say these are likely to be minor points of law, rather than overturning the entire decision. So, how likely is it that Meta will actually pull its services from Europe? In reality, the chances are probably pretty slim. Meta has said it has “no desire” to leave the continent, going as far as publishing a blog post titled “Meta Is Absolutely Not Threatening to Leave Europe.” Europe’s 30-plus countries are a large market for Meta, and stopping services, even temporarily, could be costly. (A close comparison is when the company briefly banned news posts in Australia in early 2021, following a row with publishers.) While Meta may not leave Europe, it may have to make changes to how it stores and transfers data once the final decision from the Irish regulator is published, although there is no set timeline. It may also face a fine. “My guess is that Meta is going to have to look at some form of geo-siloing if they want to continue to operate in the EU,” says Calli Schroeder, global privacy counsel at the Electronic Privacy Information Center, a nonprofit digital rights research organization. Schroeder, who previously worked with companies on international data transfers, says this approach could mean Meta would have to create its own servers and data centers in the EU that aren’t connected to its broader databases. Advertisement Harshvardhan Pandit, a computer science research fellow at Trinity College Dublin who is researching the GDPR, says that as data authorities are still considering Meta’s case and a final decision hasn’t been published yet, they could include several caveats or steps that Meta should take to fall in line. For instance, one recent data protection decision in Europe gave a six-month period for a company to make changes to its business. “I think the most pragmatic solution would be for them to create the European infrastructure, like Google or Amazon, which have quite a few data centers here,” Pandit says, adding that Meta could also introduce more encryption to how it stores data and maximize how much it keeps in the EU. All these measures would be costly, though. Jack Gilbert, director and associate general counsel at Meta, says that the issue “is in the process of being resolved.” Facebook did not respond specifically to questions about its plan to respond to the Irish decision. European officials have twice ruled that systems put in place to share data between the EU and US don’t properly protect people’s data—the complaints have been ongoing since the early 2010s. European courts ruled that international data-sharing agreements weren’t up to scratch first in 2015 and then again in July 2020, when the Privacy Shield agreement was ruled illegal.

Since January of this year, multiple European data regulators have ruled that using Google Analytics, the company’s traffic-monitoring service for websites, falls foul of the GDPR. Danish authorities went even further: Schools can’t use Chromebooks without restrictions being put in place. “There is a ton of legal uncertainty, and there is a significant compliance risk,” says Gabriela Zanfir-Fortuna, vice president of global privacy at Future of Privacy Forum, a nonprofit think tank. Most Popular Politicians are well aware of the problems. In March, US president Joe Biden and European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen announced a new Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework, which will change the way data is sent between the EU and US. The deal, which will be introduced by executive order, will limit what data US intelligence agencies can access and will create a new system where Europeans can complain if they think they’ve been illegally spied upon by US agencies. However, since the deal was announced, no specifics—including any legal texts—have been published. In June, officials said the deal could be published in the coming weeks, but so far, there has been little public progress. The US Department of Commerce says discussions are still taking place, including a meeting between both sides last week. (A European Commission spokesperson says work on the new agreement is ongoing, but they do not have a timeline that can be shared.) The longer the negotiations take, the more blocking orders will drop. “Obviously, if that framework is not complete, we would be in jeopardy of being able to transfer data,” Facebook’s Wehner said earlier this year. The deal is likely to take a while yet. “Realistically, at this point, we're looking at a potential adequacy decision for this Trans-Atlantic data transfers framework sometime next year—maybe the first quarter of next year,” Zanfir-Fortuna says. Once the details have been published, EU officials will spend months scrutinizing the specifics to see if they fall in line with court orders. And they won’t be the only ones pouring over it. Privacy activists and lawyers will also be looking at the agreement and could launch further legal challenges if they find that data moving from Europe to the US still isn’t protected strongly enough. “The continued challenges are not unwarranted, particularly considering the Snowden revelations and the prevalence of Big Tech firms coming out of the US,” Schroeder says. “As a whole, America really needs to make sure we rise to the challenge of showing that we can be good stewards of the industry that we're trying to be leaders in.”

Have the tech giants finally had their bubble burst? I’d hate to speculate | John Naughton
by Alberto Cammozzo Aug. 6, 2022

Aug. 6, 2022

<https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/aug/06/have-the-tech-giants-…> A speculative bubble, wrote Nobel laureate Robert Shiller in Irrational Exuberance, his landmark book on human foolishness, is “a situation in which news of price increases spurs investor enthusiasm, which spreads by psychological contagion from person to person, in the process amplifying stories that might justify the price increases and bringing in a larger and larger class of investors, who, despite doubts about the real value of an investment, are drawn to it partly through envy of others’ successes and partly through a gambler’s excitement”. Observers of the tech industry are wearily familiar with this kind of irrationality. Throughout 2020 and 2021, as Covid-19 wreaked economic havoc on countries throughout the western world, the tech industry remained strangely untouched by what was happening on the ground. While the rest of us cowered in lockdown, the pandemic made tech bosses and owners insanely richer. Their companies grew faster and became even more profitable while other industries languished. Apple had so much extra cash that it spent $90bn (£74bn) – nearly the gross domestic product of Kenya – buying its own shares. Amazon laid out $50bn in 2021 on warehouses, hiring tens of thousands of employees, ordering fleets of electric vehicles and building cloud computing centres. And so on. So while the pandemic had put many conventional companies on life support, it looked as though it had consolidated the dominance of Alphabet (neé Google), Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft and Apple, making them the new masters of our networked universe. And then something happened. On 19 November 2021 the Nasdaq stock market index (which is heavily influenced by tech companies) stood at an all-time high of 16,057, then suddenly went into rapid decline. As I write, it stands at 12,369. And so the question became: was this just what economists euphemistically call a “market correction” or an indicator that this particular speculative bubble had really burst? The answer, if the quarterly figures released last week by the tech giants are anything to go by, is that it looks as though the bubble has at least been punctured. The numbers, according to an analysis by Luke Gbedemah and Sebastian Hervas-Jones of Tortoise Media, suggest that a split is emerging between the companies that can “sustain an economic downturn and those that might be facing existential decline”. The figures indicate that, for the first time in the history of the industry, the combined real revenue growth rate of the companies was negative rather than positive and real revenues overall were less than the year before. Alphabet’s revenues, for example, were up by 13% but its profits fell by 14%. Apple’s revenues increased by a whisker but profits were down by more than 10%. Amazon’s revenues were up by 7% but profits fell by a whopping 60.6%. Meta – that is, Facebook – had a terrible quarter, with revenues slightly down but profits dropping by 36%. Just about the only bright spot was Microsoft: its revenues were up by nearly a fifth, but even then profits just inched up by 2%. In interpreting these numbers, the usual caveats apply: these are just one quarter’s results (though Meta has now had two dreadful ones); global supply chain problems and pulling out of Russia may have had a disproportionate impact on Apple; and Amazon’s results may reflect the impact of its huge investment in Rivian, the electric vehicle manufacturer, from which it has ordered 100,000 vehicles. But overall, one has the feeling that these giant money-printing machines are moving into territory that is unfamiliar to them – territory where, instead of having endless resources for expansion and experimentation, margins will be squeezed, costs and perks cut, workers fired and efficiencies found. Suddenly, Alphabet’s chief executive is calling for staff “to be more entrepreneurial, working with greater urgency, sharper focus and more hunger than we’ve shown on sunnier days”. Similar sanctimonious exhortations are doubtless being issued by his counterparts at the other giants. Two further thoughts stand out. The first is that the period of what one might call “tech exceptionalism” – the era when these companies and their cheerleaders were lauded for being different from normal, boring corporations – may be drawing to a close. From now on, they’re just corporations – like BT or Unilever. The second is the extent to which we have all underestimated Microsoft simply because it fumbled the smartphone opportunity. Instead, it focused on providing the basic computational infrastructure of the organisational world. The NHS, for example, has something like 750,000 PCs, all of them running Microsoft operating systems and software. Ditto for the UK government, large corporations, university administrations and small and medium-size enterprises in the western world. And it now has a successful cloud computing business. It’s not glamorous or exciting but it’s a rock-solid, enduring business. If you bought shares in it 30 years ago, you’d have the basis for a pretty good pension now. And it’ll still be around when Facebook is just a bad memory.

Facial recognition smartwatches to be used to monitor foreign offenders in UK | Home Office | The Guardian
by Alberto Cammozzo Aug. 6, 2022

Aug. 6, 2022

<https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/aug/05/facial-recognition-smartwa…> Migrants who have been convicted of a criminal offence will be required to scan their faces up to five times a day using smartwatches installed with facial recognition technology under plans from the Home Office <https://www.theguardian.com/politics/home-office> and the Ministry of Justice. In May, the government awarded a contract <https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/60bb8854-257a-4c11-b3e0-e…> to the British technology company Buddi Limited <https://www.buddi.co.uk/> to deliver “non-fitted devices” to monitor “specific cohorts” as part of the Home Office Satellite Tracking Service. The scheme is due to be introduced from the autumn across the UK, at an initial cost of £6m. A Home Office data protection impact assessment (DPIA) from August 2021, obtained by the charity Privacy International through a freedom of information request, assessed the impact of the smartwatch technology before contracting a supplier. In the documents, seen by the Guardian, the Home Office says the scheme will involve “daily monitoring of individuals subject to immigration control”, with the requirement to wear either a fitted ankle tag or a smartwatch, carried with them at all times. Those obliged to wear the devices will need to complete periodic monitoring checks throughout the day by taking a photograph of themselves on a smartwatch, with information including their names, date of birth, nationality and photographs stored for up to six years. Locations will be tracked “24/7, allowing trail monitoring data to be recorded”. Photographs taken using the smartwatches will be cross-checked against biometric facial images on Home Office systems and if the image verification fails, a check must be performed manually. The data will be shared with the Home Office, MoJ and the police, with Home Office officials adding: “The sharing of this data [to] police colleagues is not new.” The number of devices to be produced and the cost of each smartwatch was redacted in the contract and there is no mention of risk assessments to determine whether it is appropriate to monitor vulnerable or at-risk asylum seekers. The Home Office says the smartwatch scheme will be for foreign-national offenders who have been convicted of a criminal offence, rather than other groups, such as asylum seekers. However, it is expected that those obliged to wear the smartwatches will be subject to similar conditions to those fitted with GPS ankle tags, with references in the DPIA to curfews and inclusion and exclusion zones. In a National Audit Office report <https://www.nao.org.uk/report/electronic-monitoring-a-progress-update/> in June, the government said it “regards electronic monitoring as a cost-effective alternative to custody, which contributes to its goals to protect the public and reduce reoffending”. Campaigners say 24-hour surveillance of asylum seekers breaches human rights, and may have a detrimental impact on migrants’ health and wellbeing. Lucie Audibert, a lawyer and legal officer for Privacy International, said: “Facial recognition is known to be an imperfect and dangerous technology that tends to discriminate against people of colour and marginalised communities. These ‘innovations’ in policing and surveillance are often driven by private companies, who profit from governments’ race towards total surveillance and control of populations. “Through their opaque technologies and algorithms, they facilitate government discrimination and human rights abuses without any accountability. No other country in Europe has deployed this dehumanising and invasive technology against migrants.” Dr Monish Bhatia, a lecturer in criminology at Birkbeck, University of London, said: “Electronic monitoring is an intrusive technology of control. Some individuals develop symptoms of anxiety, depression, suicide ideation and overall deterioration of mental health. “The Home Office is still not clear how long individuals will remain on monitoring. They have not provided any evidence to show why electronic monitoring is necessary or demonstrated that tags make individuals comply with immigration rules better. What we need is humane, non-degrading, community-based solutions.” A Home Office spokesperson said a “portable biometrically accessed device” would soon be introduced to complement the existing fitted device, or ankle tag. “The public expects us to monitor convicted foreign-national offenders and to suggest this contract applies to asylum seekers who have arrived via illegal means is simply wrong. Since August 2021, the Home Office has successfully tagged over 2,500 foreign criminals, reassuring victims that their perpetrators cannot escape the law and will be removed from the UK at the earliest opportunity. “Since January 2019, the government has removed over 10,000 foreign criminals. Foreign criminals should be in no doubt of our determination to deport them and the government is doing everything possible to increase the number of foreign national offenders being deported.” Buddi Limited have been approached for a comment.

To cloud or noto to cloud? Interessante analisi. <https://specbranch.com/posts/one-big-server/> [....]In comparison, buying servers takes about 8 months to break even compared to using cloud servers, and 30 months to break even compared to renting. Of course, buying servers has a lot of drawbacks, and so does renting, so going forward, we will think a little bit about the “cloud premium” and whether you should be willing to pay it (spoiler alert: the answer is “yes, but not as much as the cloud companies want you to pay”).[...]
