24H Pujadas - Les partis pris
Les Partis Pris : “Retraites : expliquez-vous madame Le Pen”, “Guerre commerciale : il n’y a pas d’apocalypse” et “Orban : la méthode russe”
On ignore toujours la position de Marine Le Pen sur les retraites. Le RN semble embarrassé, selon Ruth Elkrief, car la suspension de la réforme par le Premier ministre PS, qu’on l’approuve ou non, est une nouvelle épine pour le parti. Le RN réclamait instamment l’abrogation de cette loi, désormais suspendue, ce qui oblige à interroger ses prises de position. Il n’y a pas d’apocalypse concernant les conséquences des tarifs douaniers de Donald Trump, confirme François Lenglet. Les économistes prévoyaient un ralentissement des exportations chinoises frappées par les taxes américaines, et la mo...

TWO REPORTERS
When Trump praises Hungary's Viktor Orbán, do you realize exactly how Orbán has gutted its democracy? / FROM THE ARCHIVE
Trump, the Republican party and Project 2025 are echoing Orbán's autocratic playbook - along with strategies of other leaders who got elected democratically and then turned their nations into autocracies. Key steps: pack courts and agencies with their cronies, slander and intimidate the media, and denigrate their opponents as "evil" and "vermin." Harvard professor Steven Levitsky, co-author of How Democracies Die and Tyranny of the Minority, tells us why it could take years to rescue America's democracy - even if Trump loses the upcoming election.

The ideal of sustainability can’t be seen as a static goal, which represents the end of our efforts, once reached.

If from the point of view of the system as a whole we can observe this continuity, it is only possible through considerable effort and adaptation.

The Context: Topic Extraction
Flooded by increasing amounts of data, we need ever more evolved tools to be able to interpret them and to act upon them. Artificial Intelligence tools, based on natural language processing, image recognition using neural networks, and via many other approaches, are assisting us to understand the information, including what we ourselves produce. Today computer based image classification has a superhuman performance, and your online photo storage systems don’t require any manual tagging on your part. You can find the photo you want by searching as you give a description of the co...

The Context: Open Live Pitching Of Startups To Invest
Startups meet investors pitching their projects, using a presentation deck to illustrate the challenge they want to solve, the solution they want to implement, and several other elements of a successful presentation. The process and the structure of these meetings has been often unclear to startups, and in today’s world need to adapt to a new reality. I’ve started with Network Society Ventures a new open and live startup pitching series, Network Society Ventures Pitching Live (NSVPL), streaming on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter. Fifteen minutes of presentation are followed by fifteen minutes of ques...

The Context: Your Home The Spaceship
Is thinking of your home as a spaceship a useful maybe even practical metaphor? As we execute carefully planned Extra Vehicular Activities (EVAs: the weekly grocery shopping in masks and gloves), our account of inputs and outputs and the circular nature of flows of our homes may become clear. And realizing how that works in our homes, may lead us to a more immediate perception that the same applies to Earth in its entirety.Martian colonies won’t have the dumb luxury of wasting resources.

The Context: Open Source Fighting COVID-19
Society wants to incentivise creativity and private enterprise. Copyrights patents and trademarks have emerged as a protection of what we today call intellectual property. There are plenty of examples when these serve a useful purpose, however excessive extensions to the expiration of copyright as well as harmful patent trolls show the negative side of this arrangement. Open source software and hardware has emerged as a powerful alternative that is compatible with profit making but also with building a Commons benefiting everybody inclusively.

The Context: Jolting Adaptability
The lack of adequate response by so many governments to the pandemic, even when plenty of positive and negative examples were already available from other countries that have been impacted before them, is a sign that maybe the mental models that are applied to the decision making are inadequate. The pandemic is not merely exponential. As it is impacting with its assault on multiple supporting infrastructural elements of a community, region, a nation, the cumulative effect has an increasing acceleration, and it is jolting. The governments that work well in other scenarios can’t...

The Context: Learning By Doing And Sharing
We gain new skills by making mistakes, as we put in practice the changes needed in what we observe. The opportunity to share the process accelerates it, because the feedback can arrive from outside observers, whose independent point of view will enrich ours. That is what I have been doing now for two weeks, streaming live each day, learning how to use the software and hardware tools, how to integrate the destination platforms, manage chat and feedback with the audience, invite and interview guests, and so on.

As we look out on the world, trying to understand it, we structure our knowledge of the information collected, across several dimensions.

There are multi billion dollar companies with over a thousand employees, and no offices. With the effectiveness of the social distancing measures due to the COVD-19 pandemic, we are seeing a much wider interest about how to efficiently implement the tools that facilitate this collaboration. But beyond the tools, what are the components of the right type of culture that can help remote teams to thrive?

The experience of online events can evolve to be different, but as real and valuable and that of physical ones. If you are a conference organizer, a speaker, an exhibitor, these days you are scrambling with the restructuring of your activities. What we have to aim for is to recognize the differences between the two options, and build a sustainable ecosystem of online events. In the process we may discover that what we achieve is in its own way superior to what has been possible in the conferences organized in the traditional manner.

What is the cosmic origin of the elements in the human body? We know we are made of stars. But what kind of stars? You are made of elements that have been forged in exploding massive stars, in slowly dying low-mass stars, but also exploding white dwarfs, and merging neutron stars. On top of all that, also of an element that has been created during the birth of the Universe itself, and hasn't been created in a star.

It has been decided only by a slim majority of the voters, but the fact that Brexit can happen peacefully, within the framework of the EU’s agreements, is itself a triumph. Nation States are under the simultaneous forces of amalgamation from above, and of decentralization from below. They are resisting, but can’t efficiently resort to religious patriotism anymore, to find a solid reason to exist.
