THREAD - Qu'est ce que “Lifelog", le précurseur de Facebook ?
PARTIE 1

 Le projet Lifelog est une idée sortie du Pentagone. C'est un projet ambitieux visant à créer une base de données permettant de suivre l’existence entière d’une personne.
Dirigé par DARPA, le service de recherche du ministère de la Défense (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ), LifeLog visait à rassembler en un seul endroit à peu près tout ce qu’un individu dit, voit ou fait.
DARPA fonctionne comme la branche de recherche du ministère de la défense et est responsable de l'utilisation de l'argent des contribuables, dont on ne rend pas compte légalement, pour mener des opérations au noir, à l'abri des regards du public.
Les appels téléphoniques passés, les émissions de télévision regardées, les magazines lus, les billets d’avion achetés, les e-mails envoyés et reçus, tout y passait !
À partir de cet océan d’informations sans fin, les informaticiens pourraient tracer des routes distinctes dans les données, cartographiant les relations, les souvenirs, les événements et les expériences.
Les partisans de LifeLog ont déclaré que le journal global aurait pu se transformer en une mémoire numérique presque parfaite, donnant aux assistants informatisés de ses utilisateurs un souvenir presque sans faille de ce qu’ils avaient fait dans le passé.
Mais les défenseurs des libertés civiles se sont immédiatement jetés sur le projet lorsqu’il a été lancé, arguant que LifeLog pourrait devenir l’outil ultime pour dresser le profil des ennemis potentiels de l’État.
Le Pentagone a donc annulé son projet Lifelog.
Des chercheurs proches du projet disent qu’ils ne savent pas trop pourquoi il a été abandonné. DARPA n’a pas fourni d’explication de cette annulation silencieuse de LifeLog.
Jan Walker, porte-parole de l’agence, n’a donné qu’une seule raison à Wired News : ” Un changement de priorités“.
Bizarrement, le projet a été annoncé et annulé le jour même du lancement de Facebook. Quelle sacrée “coïncidence” !
Et depuis, Facebook, via sa société Menlo Park en Californie, a embauché un ancien chef du DARPA, pour diriger son nouveau laboratoire de recherche.
Mark Zuckerberg a annoncé le 14/04/2014 que Regina Dugan guiderait le bâtiment 8,un groupe de recherche qui développe des projets de matériel qui font progresser les efforts de l’entreprise en réalité virtuelle,réalité augmentée,intelligence artificielle et connectivité mondiale.
Dugan a été directrice du DARPA de 2009 à 2012. Plus récemment, elle a dirigé l’Advanced Technology and Projects Lab de Google, une branche expérimentale de l’entreprise chargée de développer de nouveaux produits matériels et logiciels selon un calendrier strict de deux ans.
Les grands médias ont célébré Zuckerberg comme l’enfant prodige qui s’est transformé en milliardaire grâce au succès de Facebook, mais ils n’ont pas prêté attention à “l’investissement de capital risque” de + de 40millions de $ effectué par la CIA pour développer le réseau social
La CIA a investi dans Facebook bien avant qu’il ne devienne l’un des réseaux sociaux les+populaires,selon une enquête du journaliste Tom Hodgkinson publiée en 2008 dans The Guardian et commentée par quelques médias indépendants,mais sans aucune répercussion dans la grande presse.
Walter Goobar dit : “c’est en réalité une expérience de manipulation globale : un outil sophistiqué financé par la CIA, qui l’utilise pour le recrutement d’agents et la compilation d’informations de long en large de la planète et pour monter des opérations sous couvert”
Le journaliste britannique Tom Hodgkinson a lancé un très fondé signal d'alerte sur la propriété CIA de Facebook, dans l'article documenté “With friends like these…” publié dans le journal londonien The Guardian le 14 janvier 2008.
Bien que le projet ait été initialement conçu par Mark Zuckerberg, star de la couverture médiatique, le vrai visage derrière Facebook est celui de Peter Thiel, 40 ans, capital-risqueur de la Silicon Valley et philosophe futuriste.
Il n'y a que trois membres du conseil d'administration de Facebook, et ce sont Thiel, Zuckerberg et un troisième investisseur appelé Jim Breyer d'une société de capital-risque appelée Accel Partners.
Thiel a investi 500 000 dollars dans Facebook lorsque les étudiants de Harvard Zuckerberg, Chris Hughes et Dustin Moskowitz sont allés le rencontrer à San Francisco en juin 2004, peu après le lancement du site.
Il posséderait aujourd'hui 7%de FB,ce qui vaudrait +d'un milliard $.Il y a beaucoup de débats sur qui étaient les co-fondateurs de FB,mais qui soient ils,Zuckerberg est le seul qui reste au conseil d'administration,bien que Hughes et Moskowitz travaillent toujours pour la société
Thiel est largement considéré dans la Silicon Valley et sur la scène du capital-risque américain comme un génie libertaire. Il est le co-fondateur et le PDG du système bancaire virtuel PayPal, qu'il a vendu à Ebay pour 1,5 milliard de dollars, s'appropriant ainsi 55 millions de $
Le mentor philosophique de Thiel est un certain René Girard de l'université de Stanford, partisan d'une théorie du comportement humain appelée désir mimétique. Girard estime que les gens sont essentiellement des moutons et qu'ils se copient les uns les autres sans trop réfléchir.
Cette théorie semble également s'avérer correcte dans le cas des mondes virtuels de Thiel : l'objet désiré n'a pas d'importance, il suffit de savoir que les êtres humains auront tendance à se déplacer en troupeau. D'où les bulles financières. D'où l'énorme popularité de Facebook.
Girard est un habitué des soirées intellectuelles de Thiel. Ce dont on n'entend pas parler dans la philosophie de Thiel, d'ailleurs, ce sont les concepts démodés du monde réel tels que l'art, la beauté, l'amour, le plaisir et la vérité.

Why does Your Manager’s Manager (YMM) request a deck/doc during a meeting, says it’s urgent, and then doesn’t respond for days after you create & send it?

Or, why does YMM often respond with trivial feedback (e.g. formatting) & not substantive feedback?

Answers in this thread👇🏾

Have you set an entirely new password on a site & said to yourself: “surely, I’ll remember it becos this site is so important for me”. Have you then gone on to forget that password the very next week?

Me too.

The reason for YMM’s odd behavior & my password optimism is the same.

That reason is the Focusing Illusion, first described by Daniel Kahneman.

The Focusing Illusion:
Nothing in life is as important as you think it is while you are thinking about it.

When YMM asked you to create that doc as one of the follow up actions during the Product Review, YMM fell prey to the Focusing Illusion.

Trust me, YMM had no intention of making you do busywork.

YMM truly believed that it was very impt & urgent to create that doc & review it.

This was YMM’s conception of how much of their future time was appropriate to spend on the item for which they requested that doc (Item A):

People! Have you seen people being rude to each other during meetings, maybe directed at women/people of colour/disabled people/LGBTQ+ people? Do you want to help prevent this abuse?

Some tips you can consider as a bystander depending on the situation (thread)

Have a code of conduct and circulate it. Make it clear that abusive behaviour will not be accepted. Build in accountability strategies (what happens if someone violates it). Have a moderator/chair to observe the dynamics of your group.

This kind of behaviour is very normalised and insidious, so train yourself to spot it. Is there somebody that usually interrupts? Is there somebody that usually gets interrupted and silenced? Are there signs of aggressive communication?

Not everyone might like that you jump at their defense - your heart might be in the right place but it can come across as patronising. Try to bring up the subject with your colleagues and see what they think. Foster a culture of positive communication.

Once you see that somebody is trying to interrupt - politely redirect the discussion towards the person that was originally speaking. Eg "thank you for that, now I'd really like to hear what person xyz was saying earlier".

The kingdom of Sindh was ruled by its last Hindu king Raja Dahir during the 8th century. When Muhammad-bin-Qasim invaded Sindh, he decimated Sindh in his savage bloodlust. The chronicles of his advent are described in the Chachnama.


2/n
The Chachnama describes in detail how the Arabs led by butcher Qasim conquered Sindh. It tells the terrible tale of bravery, treachery, & carnage marking the entry of Islamic conquest of India’s Hindus.


3/n
When Muhammad-bin-Qasim attacked Sindh, Dahir had collected an army of 50,000 horses and marched from Brahamanabad to Rawar to face the invader. Qasim had an army that numbered in the tens of thousands with camels & horses.

4/n
Earlier Arab Alafis - Syeds from Prophet Mohammed’s own family had fled from Mecca with 500 men to Sindh and Raja Dahir had given them asylum. Trusting these Muslims would prove to be the fatal mistake for the downfall of Sindh & pave the way for Islamic invasion.

5/n
On an “auspicious day” in A.D. 711, fixed by astrologers, Mohammed Bin Qasim started for Sindh at the head of the Iraqi, Syrian, and other Arab soldiers. His horses and camels were disguised to look like lions and elephants. Rebel Jats also joined Qasim’s army.

1/ Recently, I learned about the concept of ‘struggle porn’. This refers to the fetish of sacrificing nearly everything (health, relationships, time) for your startup. I fear that this label is creating more harm than good.

2/ @nateliason wrote a fabulous article about this topic, which first introduced me to this concept. Everyone should read it:

3/ @alexisohanian also recently spoke about struggle porn, though referring to it as ‘hustle porn.’ (as the co-founder of @hustlefundvc, obviously I take issue with this pejorative definition of ‘hustle’, but that’s another topic)

4/ Struggling in itself isn’t necessarily bad. Let’s be real here--if you’re going to start a startup, you will struggle. Founders should expect to work harder generally than employees. You will be challenged in many ways and also be super rewarded in others. This is normal.

5/ However, if you are over-indexing on hard work without clear purpose and degrading your mental health/relationships in the process--then this is very bad and we obviously should not celebrate this behavior.
