Disruptions: Facebook Users Ask, 'Where's Our Cut?' - NYTimes.com

by karlcow

My Facebook profile, and that of many of my friends is a bit fake because I refuse to be monetized. On Facebook I live in Peru and consequently most of the ads I see are in Spanish. Facebook conveniently does not report this fakery in their filing documents.

steelweaver - Reality as failed state - tl;dr version (I like doing this)

by karlcow

There is a problematic tendency with a certain type of intellect – the scientist, the technocrat – which assumes that, because it is prepared to organise and change on the basis of dry statistics and data, then, if only everyone else could be exposed to the same data, there would be instant consensus for change. In fact, of course, the majority of human beings do not work like this.

Maybe the reason virtual reality failed to take off is that the ability to be someone else is a killer application for only a tiny group of people.

Bibliomancienne

by karlcow & 1 other

Pour moi, ça injecte du récit quand les yeux se fatiguent, quand on ne sait plus où aller, captifs de la même ligne de métro dans le (court-) circuit de nous-mêmes.

BIB - Renseigner sur la fiction : catalogues et bibliographies | Lirographe

by decembre
Ces dernières semaines, je collectionne les questions de lecteurs en fiction : « Vous avez des contes sur la cuisine? », « Des romans qui parlent d’épices ? ». Importance de l’expérience acquise au quotidien par l’entretien des collections, l’habitude de renseigner et le rangement : rien ne remplace alors la culture personnelle. Je me suis toutefois demandé (ainsi qu’à quelques collègues qui passaient par là) quels outils pouvaient palier les bien naturelles lacunes de chacun dans les différents domaines de la fiction. Or, comme le soulignait récemment Vingt-sept point sept, s’il existe une zone aveugle, un angle mort du catalogage, c’est bien l’indexation de la fiction, absente des deux plus grands catalogues français (BnF et Sudoc) et de la base bibliographique Electre : on en revient, dans les trois cas, à une interrogation globale ramenant plus ou moins de bruit. ...... Analyse des outil dispos très claire.
