Preface
A percloud (permanent/personal cloud) is my own vision of a “REALLY usable, all-in-one alternative to Facebook, Gmail, Flickr, Dropbox…”.

Too much and for too long, we seemed to have surrendered personal excellence and community values in the mere accumulation of material things. Our gross national product, […] if we judge the United States of America by that — counts air pollution and cigarette advertising, and ambulances to clear our highways of carnage. It counts special locks for our doors and the jails for the people who break them. It counts the destruction of the redwood and the loss of our natural wonder in chaotic sprawl.

Dreizehn solcher Tumorkonferenzen gibt es am UKD – zwölf davon spezialisiert auf einzelne Krebsarten, wie Brustkrebs, Hautkrebs oder Kopf-Hals-Tumoren, und eine weitere Konferenz für  Patienten deren Krebserkrankung schwer zuzuordnen oder besonders kompliziert ist. Von der Bündelung der Kompetenzen profitiert vor allem der Patient: Tumorkonferenz-Patienten bekommen häufig die modernsten Therapien, zum Teil im Rahmen von klinischen Studien.

Fernanda Marin: In the last few years, a couple of multi-billion dollar companies – initially marketed as part of a new sharing economy – devoured people’s attention. After these giants discredited the concept, many thought the ideas behind it were too naive and unrealistic to begin with. The forces of capitalism, neoliberalism, and our human nature are too strong to try to change them, some believed.
Reality is a bit more complex…

Over the past decade or so, the use of personal and big data has changed the way many businesses and governments operate. Regulators and legislative bodies have been struggling to keep up with the changes in technology, and increasing concerns about what it means for the privacy of individuals. In India, we have worked with […]

2017 was a year when the voice of women resonated around the world. Global women’s marches, hashtags such as #MeToo and #TimesUp, record numbers of women entering politics – all together a global call for action that signaled women were tired of not being heard.
It’s been a year that’s left many in the western world asking how we got here and how we can make sure we never go back. A big reason for this is because of what the Internet helps us do. We can reach further, speak louder, and come together like never before.

Chiara Gayk, Kathrin Leitges, Kim Roegels, Tim Fischer, Murat Oktay, Nils Wassiljew mit den Coaches Thomas Scherer und Jakob Stachow konnten sich unter sieben deutschen Teams in einem spannenden und denkbar knappen Finale gegen die Universität des Saarlandes durchsetzen.

Antoine Dubois, Emilio Zagheni, Kiran Garimella, and Ingmar Weber at arXiv: “Migrants’ assimilation is a major challenge for European societies, in part because of the sudden surge of refugees in recent years and in part because of long-term demographic trends.

Beth Noveck at the Yale Human Rights and Development Journal: “Open data policy mandates that government proactively publish its data online for the public to reuse. It is a radically different approach to transparency than traditional right-to-know strategies as embodied in Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) legislation in that it involves ex ante rather than ex post disclosure of whole datasets. Although both open data and FOIA deal with information sharing, the normative essence of open data is participation rather than litigation.

La Iniciativa Científica Milenio adjudicó el Instituto Milenio de Investigación sobre Fundamentos de los Datos en una apuesta inédita por impulsar de forma interdisciplinaria la ciencia de datos en nuestro país, reuniendo a expertos nacionales en algoritmos, datos, e inteligencia artificial, quienes junto a expertos de ciencias políticas y sociales desarrollarán los fundamentos científicos necesarios para resolver los problemas más complejos relacionados con datos que enfrenta hoy la sociedad.Las implicancias de los datos en nuestras vidas son ampliamente conocidas.

Los nuevos seleccionados para matricularse en la U. de Chile podrán visitar y realizar trámites que son parte de este proceso, como la toma de la fotografía para la TNE, en las dependencias del edificio patrimonial de la institución, entre el 19 y el 21 de enero, en lo que será el primer periodo de matrículas.

As we get closer to Open Data Day 2018, we keep working to make this year’s events really awesome. To achieve this we have some good news for you:
We now will support one more track of Open Data Day events! The new track is Open Data for Equal Development and it’s sponsored by OKI through the Hewlett Foundation.
We define equal development as ending the structural barriers that make it harder for some groups in societies to access their rights, goods or services.

General Theory of the Precariat is essential reading for all commoners that want to think through the right strategy for social change. It squarely places itself from the point of few of the new social groups (or classes in formation, as its author, Alex Foti would have it) that have grown under the conditions of neoliberalism and its decline — or in other words, under the emergence of cognitive capitalism or ‘informationalism’.
