https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/20/opinion/facial-recognition-ban-privacy.html Communities across the United States are starting to ban facial recognition technologies. In May of last year, San Francisco banned facial recognition; the neighboring city of Oakland soon followed, as did Somerville and Brookline in Massachusetts (a statewide ban may follow). In December, San Diego suspended a facial recognition program in advance of a new statewide law, which declared it illegal, coming into effect. Forty major music festivals pledged not to use the technology, and activists are calling for a nationwide ban. Many Democratic presidential candidates support at least a partial ban on the technology. These efforts are well intentioned, but facial recognition bans are the wrong way to fight against modern surveillance. Focusing on one particular identification method misconstrues the nature of the surveillance society we’re in the process of building. Ubiquitous mass surveillance is increasingl...

[MENGENAL JAKARTA DAN SISTEM SUNGAINYA] Sebelum kita bicara lebih jauh soal banjir, kenapa, dan apa yang harus dilakukan, mari kita mengenal dulu bagaimana Jakarta dan sistem sungainya pada gambar-gambar ini. Bagian hulu sistem sungai ini ada di Kab. Bogor, di kawasan Puncak. 1a. [MENGENAL JAKARTA DAN SISTEM SUNGAINYA] Lihat kan bagaimana Jakarta adalah kawasan hilir dan muara dari banyak sungai. Secara alamiah, banyak bagian Jakarta yang memang merupakan floodplain (morfologi hilir berupa dataran yg PASTI kebanjiran jika debit sungai tinggi). 1b. [JAKARTA DAN SISTEM SUNGAINYA] Bukti lain dari floodplain/dataran banjir adalah sungai yang bermeander/berkelok-kelok. Dan kita amati, Ciliwung di Jakarta sudah sangat berkelok. Contohnya di kawasan Kampung Pulo-Bukit Duri seperti ini:   1c. [BERARTI BANJIR I...

CATATAN AKHIR 2019 - AWAL 2020 GEOLOGI CALON IBU KOTA NEGARA DI SEPAKU, KALIMANTAN TIMUR : AIR TANAH & GEO-HAZARDNYA Sumber: https://www.facebook.com/andang.bachtiar/posts/10217438537967985 Tanggal 23 Desember yang lalu, begitu menonton video ( https://youtu.be/_SzO0j9gLhQ ) yg menggambarkan ttg berbagai rencana kondisi Ibu Kota Negara baru kita nantinya, pertama kali yg terlontar dari benak saya: “Ati2.... Susah air di calon lokasi Ibukota Negara!” Selain itu ada beberapa aspek geoteknik dan kebencanaan yang musti lebih diperdalam informasi dan data dasarnya. Hal ini diperlukan supaya perencanaannya tidak sembarangan dan bisa lebih menyeluruh, termasuk mempertimbangkan aspek-aspek geologi bawah permukaan, baik yang dangkal maupun yang dalam; bukan hanya sekedar menggambarkan disain yang indah-indah di atas peta topografi, morfologi dan tutupan muka bumi belaka. Dengan demikian nantinya tidak akan ada penyesalan atas membengkaknya biaya operasional kehidupan seha...

https://blog.nuclino.com/makers-don-t-let-yourself-be-forced-into-the-manager-schedule In Masters of Doom , a book about the game development company id Software and its influence on popular culture, David Kushner reflected on the unconventional working style of the company's ace coder, John Carmack. To increase his productivity and find a break from distraction while working on his breakthrough Quake engine , Carmack adopted an aggressive tactic – he began gradually shifting the start of his workday. Eventually, he was starting his programming in the evening and finishing just before dawn. These uninterrupted stretches of silence, isolation, and deep work allowed Carmack to reinvent gaming with the world's first lightning-fast 3D game engine. A tale of two schedules While Carmack's schedule may have made it harder for the rest of his team to reach him at times, the value he produced while working at his full cognitive capacity far outweighed that inconvenience...
