Buongiorno. Mi scuso perche' forse commetto un errore di estrapolazione, non avendo letto tutto il testo del discorso e limitandomi ad un breve commento al seguente paragrafo. > La riforma dovrà muoversi su due direttive: investimenti in > connettività con anche la realizzazione di piattaforme efficienti e di > facile utilizzo da parte dei cittadini; aggiornamento continuo delle > competenze dei dipendenti pubblici, anche selezionando nelle > assunzioni le migliori competenze e attitudini in modo rapido, > efficiente e sicuro, senza costringere a lunghissime attese decine di > migliaia di candidati. > > ... Sembrerebbe quasi che, per rendere efficiente e funzionante la PA serva (semplicemente) creare o aumentare connettivita' e aggiungere piattaforme (immagino digitali) efficienti. Purtroppo, questo e' un mantra che, appunto, ricorre sistematicamente quando si parla di problemi della PA. Io invece continuo a ritenere e dire che *prima* di *informatizzare* i procedimenti tipici delle PA, e' necessario *semplificarli*: aggiungere piattaforme a piattaforme, sostituire le raccomandate con la PEC ecc ecc, a mio modesto avviso, serve a poco, se poi, le "pratiche", per usare un termine adatto, richiedono l'interazione con una miriade di entita'. Certo, per ogni interazione non sara' necessaria una lettera raccomandata e bastera' qualche click o una PEC, ma il numero e la complessita' delle interazioni, se non vengono semplificate le procedure (cioe', le norme che regolano i rapporti con e fra le PA), rimarra' comunque alto e insostenibile per il cittadino (e per di piu', ogni interazione informatica potra' aggiungere elementi di complessita' e frustrazione dovuta a malfunzionamenti informatici.)

And, in the process of so speaking, we anesthetise our ability to evaluate the quality of our work and, what is more important, to identify and become conscious of its end use.

Facebook 'unfriends' Australia: news pages go dark in test for global publishing

Facebook 'unfriends' Australia: news pages go dark in test for global publishing By Byron Kaye SYDNEY (Reuters) - Facebook faced an angry backlash on Thursday after blocking news feeds in Australia in a surprise escalation of a dispute with the government which could be a test for the future of online publishing worldwide. The move was denounced by media groups, politicians and human rights groups in Australia and beyond, as it became clear that official health pages and emergency warnings had been scrubbed along with news sites, just three days before the launch of a nationwide COVID-19 vaccination programme. “Facebook’s actions to unfriend Australia today, cutting off essential information services on health and emergency services, were as arrogant as they were disappointing,” Prime Minister Scott Morrison wrote on his own Facebook page. “These actions will only confirm the concerns that an increasing number of countries are expressing about the behaviour of Big Tech companies who think they are bigger than governments and that the rules should not apply to them.” The dispute centres on a planned Australian law, which would require Facebook and Google to reach commercial deals to pay news outlets whose links drive traffic to their platforms, or agree a price through arbitration.

The key is to stop social media companies from selling advertising. Because by putting an end to any incentive to keep users glued to platforms, you remove any profits from spreading conspiracy theories. https://www.editorialedomani.it/politica/mondo/stoller-con-biden-alla-casa-…

Forecast: Growth in Automotive Cybersecurity Market - iHLS
by Alberto Cammozzo Feb. 17, 2021

Feb. 17, 2021

Every bug is a feature. <https://i-hls.com/archives/107050> The growing incidence of malicious cyber-attacks owing to the rising adoption of connected cars will propel the growth of the global automotive cybersecurity market. The global automotive cybersecurity market size was accounted for USD 1.44 billion in 2018 and projected to grow at a CAGR of 21.4% over the forecast period, from 2019 to 2025, expected to USD 5.56 billion by 2025. According to a market research report by Million Insights, the rising focus of OEMs on developing connected cars and autonomous driving systems has generated the risk of data theft in this sector. The increasing application of e-mobility globally is anticipated to drive the automotive cybersecurity market growth as well. Substantial developments in the automotive industry are driving the demand for sensors and battery management systems which are expected to enable more reliable cybersecurity solutions. Therefore, technological advancement in semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicles is expected to generate the need for automotive cybersecurity due to the increasing volume of data and the development of network capacities. The advent of cloud computing technology has opened new avenues for market growth. The development of automotive data taxonomy, cloud software infrastructure, etc. will create new opportunities for market growth across the globe. The industry is constantly striving to enable smartphone connectivity with car systems for automated vehicles. This initiative will help to implement intelligent transport systems. However, financial impacts, commonly accepted standards, and safety issues will hamper the market growth to some extent. Application-wise, the market is segmented into ADAS & safety systems, body electronics, infotainment, telematics, and powertrain. The infotainment application segment is projected to dominate the automotive cybersecurity market over the forecast period. The segment is expected to have healthy growth due to the advent of autonomous driving technologies and the increasing demand for seamless connectivity from the vehicle’s ECU to several cloud services in order to enhance the subsequent vehicle maneuvering and sensor processing. By security, the market is bifurcated into wireless network, application, and endpoint security. In 2018, wireless network security held the largest market share. Due to the increasing number of connected cars, the risk of cyber-attacks in the automotive sector is also increased, thereby the need for network security is expected to gain traction in the next few years.
