La programmation neuro-linguistique (abrégée « PNL » en français, et « NLP » en anglais) est un outil pseudo-scientifique de médecine alternative de communication verbale et non verbale, de développement personnel et d'accompagnement au changement [Note 1]. Élaborée dans les années 1970 aux États-Unis, à l'origine par John Grinder et Richard Bandler[1] (qui a déposé la marque en 1976)[Note 2], elle est ensuite développée par de nombreux autres contributeurs dont Robert Dilts. Cet outil est soumis à de nombreuses critiques.

Les pays occidentaux sont de plus en plus dépendants des hautes technologies (high-tech). Or, les « stocks » de minerais permettant de fabriquer ces technologies, dont le numérique et l’intelligence artificielle, semblent se dégrader.

En l’absence d’une étude récente et transparente, il nous a semblé judicieux de calculer l’état des réserves rentables mondiales de métaux selon une approche récente et transparente.

Réalisée par les membres de l’association Green IT, cette étude porte sur les réserves rentables mondiales de métaux, et notamment ceux utilisés pour fabriquer nos équipements numériques et high-tech.

do•doc (or dodoc) is a free and open-source documentation tool, initially designed for use in classrooms with children. It enables one to capture traces from an on-going experience for later reflections, reconstructions and creation of narratives. A physical device can be associated with the software to simplify usage, especially with young people. Two versions are available: the local app that can be installed for offline use, and the online webapp that can be accessed from any device connected to the Internet.

I’ve been researching a new talk the last few weeks and along the way stumbled across a concept that’s been rattling around in my head. I am writing to share, because I find it a satisfying description for the tech flop era.

The idea is called “a market for lemons.” The phrase comes from a 1970 paper by George Akerlof that explains how information asymmetry between buyers and sellers can undermine a marketplace. Akerlof asks us to imagine ourselves buying a used car. Some cars on the lot are reliable, well-maintained gems. Others cars are lemons, the kinds of cars that can make it off the lot but are disasters waiting to happen. The sellers know which cars are which, but you, as a buyer, can’t tell the difference. That information asymmetry affects the average price in the market and eventually impacts the overall market dynamics.

The thinking goes like this: if a buyer can’t distinguish between good and bad, everything gets priced somewhere in the middle. If you’re selling junk, this is fantastic news—you’ll probably get paid more than your lemon is worth. If you’re selling a quality used car, this price is insultingly low. As a result, people with good cars leave the market to sell their stuff elsewhere, which pushes the overall quality and price down even further, until eventually all that’s left on the market are lemons.

I think we’re in the lemon stage of the internet.

I'm curious about something, and asking this to the #queer / #LGBTQ community in general:

Do you know a good novel/book that's written so that we have absolutely no idea of the gender of some characters, or even on the protagonist's?

It might be a bit easier to do in English, therefore I wonder how translators do it on non-epicene languages (like if they translate the book to French for instance).

Any reference to share?
