Not staying awake for @60Minutes (it airs when it's 1am here) but do alert me to any good summaries you come across. Would be nice to wake up to a curated list of stories. 😀

This is what’s airing: x.com/60Minutes/stat

If you’re not aware, whenever you see the name Nick Clegg (lobbyist and PR officer at Facebook), also remember he served as Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 2010 to 2015.

“If people just hate Facebook more because of what I’ve done, then I’ve failed,” she said. “I believe in truth and reconciliation—we need to admit reality. The first step of that is documentation.”

This is significant to me: ”She recalled a senior manager telling her that people at Facebook accomplish what needs to be done with far less resources than anyone would think possible.”

I expect this to be true. It’s a core tenet of poor decision-making.

My newsletter from today contains lots of links regarding the ongoing debacle(s) with regards to Facebook. After this one I definitely hope to take a break from bringing up Facebook too much again.

”Though Facebook has been remarkably successful since going public in 2012, [
] the new filings argue that investors face serious downside risks they cannot understand — a potentially serious allegation for the SEC.”washingtonpost.com/technology/202

@LisaHeino Absolut förvÄnande. Det Àr stökigt Ä ena sidan. Och samtidigt bra att BankID-monopolet naggas i kanten. Men vi skulle förstÄs egentligen behövt ett nationellt, statligt e-id redan för mÄnga Är sedan.

@LisaHeino KÀnns som vi kommer befinna oss i en övergÄngsperiod nÀr det gÀller digitalisering i minst 10 Är till...

@LisaHeino Jag provade att skaffa Freja e-id igen nu efter att jag sÄg din tweet. Mitt verkade ha gÄtt ut eller försvunnit i och med telefonbyte. Ska bli intressant att se hur mÄnga minuter det tar innan det aktiveras. Scannade mitt körkort.

@LisaHeino Och dÀr kom det...

@LisaHeino Tack för att du pÄminde mig om detta. Har tÀnkt ett tag att fÄ anledning att skriva mer om Freja E-id.

@tsvenson @FiaEwald @marcusosterberg @peterkz_swe @soulislove Blir inte alla heltÀckande begrepp intetsÀgande? Ord spelar roll men jag kÀnner att du lÀgger mycket ansvar pÄ ordet. ;)

Om mÄnga anvÀnder ordet intressent kanske vi kan arbeta för att ordet ska fÄ mer innebörd, med konnotationer, reflektion, osv.

Exempelvis:

@tsvenson @FiaEwald @marcusosterberg @peterkz_swe @soulislove Jag inser att det hĂ€r Ă€r vad intressent betyder för mig, men för att det fortsĂ€ttningsvis ska betyda det för flertalet i mina projekt sĂ„ mĂ„ste jag upprepa det om och om igen

Main reason I'm wary of nuclear power is my field of expertise: communication science.

I once did an exercise creating long-time nuclear waste warning messages for 10,000 years in the future.

It's acutely obvious to me how this will fail miserably. đŸ§”

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-time


I do believe Thomas Seboek was on the right track proposing an Atomic Priesthood. The priesthood would preserve the knowledge of radioactive waste's locations and dangers through rituals and myths. We do love stories. But believing them 10,000 years from now?

The idea of cats changing color due to radiation, perhaps? In 2014, musician Emperor X wrote such a song called "Don't Change Color, Kitty", designed to be "so catchy and annoying that it might be handed down from generation to generation over a span of 10,000 years".

So many absurd ideas have been proposed over the past decades. Task groups are pulling their hair. And while this glaring problem and threat to future humans persists, their wellbeing seems to rest on the success of these absurdities.

Great listening tip from @beantin on this topic.

The Nuclear Priesthood.
How could we warn people 100 000 years in the future about buried nuclear waste? Poet Paul Farley explores the options - pictures and monuments to Atomic Folk Tales.

Topical. And very real. After decades of mismanaging its nuclear waste, the US Department of Energy wrestles with its toxic legacy.

”entire cottage home-health-care industries have sprung up around nuclear sites”

When spending time on forecasting biometric abuse it’s important to note the bucket of examples is bottomless. Imagine this toilet installed in workplaces, or even at a friend’s. Article mentions stool dropping time, urine velocity and, wait for it... 1/2

theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2


analprint. You don’t have to tell the toilet who in the family is doing number two. It simply reads the distinctive features of your ”anoderm” (the skin of the anal canal). Your “analprint”, like your fingerprints, is of course unique. Push that to the cloud.✔
