The Human Library. A chance to unjudge someone. Borrow a person instead of a book and listen to their personal story for 30 minutes.
I love this concept. Started in Denmark in 2000 and now human library events have been hosted in more than 80 countries.

The Apple Watch AssistiveTouch features prove yet again how designing for all can help everyone. I’m hoping to see more of this type of technology approved as assistive devices to make them available for more people.

The "socialist" country of Sweden has close to the largest number of dollar billionaires per capita in the world. Four times more than USA. 10 times more than Russia. Their wealth amounts to 49% of Sweden's GDP.

Dalian Wanda (大连万达) heter det kinesiska företaget som äger Filmstaden (via AMC Theatres / Nordic Cinema Group). Tänker att det alltid är bra att känna till vem det är som bestämmer, nu när dagens snackis är förbudet mot medhavt godis på bio. 🍿 wikihow.com/Sneak-Food-Int…
Sedan 2002 är det många svenska företag som kontrolleras helt eller delvis av kinesiska ägare. Bolag som Volvo Cars, Filmstaden, Spotify, Oatly, Acne och AB Volvo. Men också många små kvalificerade forskningsbolag.

@HERO_Respondi Wow, thanks, this is a great writeup. Adding the show to my podcast queue.

@HERO_Respondi My take: One easily gets entrenched in blanket statements w/o defining what regulation is in focus and what we mean by innovation. If something stifles harmful innovation, I'm all for it :)
Play can certainly discover harm but one often needs regulation to be watchful of it.
@HERO_Respondi I think what I wrote on the Hippocratic Oath here relates to this:

@DorotheaBaur I've blocked the ability to send a connection request without knowing my e-mail address and it's bliss. 😊
I also use an e-mail address there that nobody knows. 😂
This November it will be 25 years since I bought my domain and started blogging on axbom.com
Twenty. Five. Years. That's a quarter-century. 😱
When I added 'Biometric Abuse' to The Elements of Digital Ethics I had not imagined something as maleficent as this would happen quite so soon, literally in front of our eyes.
It's like a book with this name could write itself.

@KakemboSofia @matthewsyed Fun fact. The syndrome was first called Norrmalmstorgssyndromet. That would have been a mouthful in English 😂

@KakemboSofia @matthewsyed 👍 Last year I read the book written by the woman herself who was held hostage in the bank heist that gave rise to the name. Mind-blowing and heartbreaking stuff.

@Just_Nag_Em Thanks! The "How Did This Get Made" one looked like good fun.
