Vários sítios web da Administração Pública dos vários países Europeus faziam anúncio a leitores proprietários de PDF. Em seis anos, foi feito um trabalho de levantamento destes casos, e posterior contacto com as entidades responsáveis de cada um deles no sentido de corrigir esta situação, com um sucesso superior a 50% dos casos. Uma petição sobre o assunto recolheu o apoio de 90 organizações e milhares de empresas e indivíduos. Dando a FSFE como encerrada esta campanha, a ANSOL quer não só dar os parabéns pelo sucesso da campanha, como um agradecimento a todos os intervenientes, desde os activistas que fizeram com que a campanha fosse possível às várias entidades pela Europa fora que ouviram as nossas questões e melhoraram a situação. "Esta campanha foi um sucesso, e prova que muitas vezes a melhor forma que há de conseguir melhorar a Administração Pública é contribuindo positivamente com sugestões, e disponibilidade para ajudar a construir soluções", diz Marcos Marado, presidente da ANSOL. Destacam-se também a eficácia da campanha em terras Lusas: de quinze casos identificados, apenas seis subsistem. "De Câmaras Municiais ao Portal das Finanças, é ainda tempo de resolver a situação" comenta Marcos Marado, apelando às instituições que ainda estão nesta situação a corrigirem de vez o problema. Os sítios web Portugueses ainda afectados são: Câmara Municipal de Coimbra, Direcção Geral do Ensino Superior, Direcção Geral dos Impostos, Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, Instituto Camões e Universidade de Coimbra.

Para: Lista do Transparência Hackday Portugal < transparencia-porto@lists.hacklaviva.net>, info@unimos.net, "N:" < pierre@ozoux.net>, Luis Rodrigues Olá a todos, Fui contactado por alguns membros da Ninux, a maior comunidade italiana de redes wifi livres. Estão a organizar a próxima Battlemesh ( http://battlemesh.org ). Uma battlemesh consiste num encontro de pessoas interessadas em tecnologias de rede, que se juntam para testar conjuntos de configurações e protocolos, assistir a apresentações e partilhar informação sobre redes mesh e redes livres em geral. Contactaram algumas pessoas por cá e decidiram enviar uma "equipa de reconhecimento" a Portugal para avaliar as condições que teremos para receber um evento daquele tipo. Podem ver o anúncio aqui: http://ml.ninux.org/pipermail/battlemesh/2015-October/004087.html Assim, a quem estiver interessado em ir dar-lhes as boas-vindas no Porto entre 11 e 15 de Novembro, digam algo! Basta responderem por aqui e eu poderei fornecer mais contactos de quem poderão contactar. Se conhecerem mais potenciais interessados, é favor divulgar!

Prevejo que daqui a uns meses irá acontecer outro "acidente" semelhante. um abraço higuita -- Naturally the common people don't want war... but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.

Konrad Zapalowicz presented at LinuxCon Europe in Dusseldorf, Germany in 2014, about how to get started as a Linux kernel developer. I gave a talk at LinuxCon Europe in Dusseldorf last year with the main goal being to show people how easy it is to start with Linux kernel development. Despite my fear that the audience might be too advanced and find this topic rather boring I received good feedback with several opinions that these kind of guidelines and advice are more than welcome. Now, since the room capacity was about 30 people, which is not really much, I have the impression that there are more folks out there who would enjoy this topic. Therefore I decided to form the presentation into a series of articles. (See the full presentation at Events.LinuxFoundation.org.) These articles, similar to the talk, will be divided into three parts. In the first, not really technical article, I will explain that Linux kernel development is super easy especially for those who possess the right attitude. In the second part I'm going to show where to get inspiration and the best angles to approach Linux kernel development for newcomers. And in the third and last part, I will describe some of the things that I wish that I knew before I started. 4 Myths For some reason there is a group of negative opinions or myths describing either Linux kernel programming itself or the effort required to become a Linux kernel developer. In particular these are: Linux Kernel programming is hard and requires special skills. Linux Kernel programming requires access to special hardware. Linux Kernel programming is pointless because all of the drivers have already been written. Linux Kernel programming is time consuming. Let's put more detail into this way of thinking: Myth #1: The Linux Kernel programming is hard and requires special skills. This thinking comes from the fact that many people, especially without proper knowledge of the kernel internals tend to view the the whole project as one big blob of code, effectively an operating system itself. Now, we all know that writing the operating system is a damn hard job and requires deep understanding of quite a number of different topics. Usually this is not just a hobby ;) but something that you are well prepared for. Looking at the top-level Linux kernel developers does not help either because all of them have many years of experience and judging your own skills using them as a reference leads one to believe that special skills are in fact required. Myth #2: Linux Kernel programming requires access to a special hardware. Jim Zemlin, who is the executive director of the Linux Foundation, said during his LinuxCon keynote that open source software is running on 80 percent of electronic devices. The Linux kernel, as the biggest open source project ever, gets more than a huge bite of this cake. In fact this is the most portable software of this size ever created and it supports an insane number of different hardware configurations. With this in mind one might get the impression that working on the kernel is about running it on different kinds of devices and since the most popular are already supported a successful developer needs to have access to all sorts of odd hardware. Myth #3: Linux Kernel programming is pointless because all of the drivers have already been written. The very popular impression of Linux kernel programming is writing drivers for various kind of peripheral devices. This is in fact the way that many professional kernel hackers nowadays have started their Linux carers. However, with the portability that the kernel offers it may seem that it is hard to find unsupported devices. Naturally we could look at the USB devices landscape as here we have the majority of peripherals, however most of those are either already supported or it is better to use the libusb and solve the problem from the user space, thus no kernel work. Myth #4: Linux Kernel programming is time consuming. While reading the LKML or any other kernel-related mailing list such as the driverdevel list it is easy to notice that the number of patches sent weekly is significant. For instance the work on the comedi drivers generates sets with many patches in it. It clearly shows that someone is working really hard out there and the comedi is not alone as an example. For people for whom kernel development is going to be a hobby, not a daily job, this might be off-putting as they could feel that they just cannot keep up the pace with that kind of speed of development. The Facts These either alone or accumulated can draw a solid, thick line between trying Linux kernel development and letting it go. This is especially true for the less experienced individuals who therefore may fear trying, however the truth is that, to quote Dante, ?the devil is not as black as he is painted.? All of these myths can be taken down so let's do it one by one: Fact: Linux Kernel programming is fairly easy. One can view the kernel code as a single blob with rather high complexity, however this blob is highly modularized. Yes, some of the modules are really hardcore (like scheduler), however there are areas of less complexity and the truth is that in order to do very simple maintenance tasks the required skill is a decent knowledge of C. Not everyone has to redesign kernel core modules, there is plenty of other work that needs to be done. For example, the very popular newbie task is to improve the code quality by fixing either the code style issues or compiler warnings. Fact: Special hardware is not required. Well, the old x86 is still good enough to do some parts of the work and since this architecture is still quite popular I would say that it is more than enough for most people. Those who seek more can buy one of the cheap ARM-based boards such as PandaBoard, BeagleBone or RaspberryPi. Fact: It is not pointless, there is still work to be done. The first thing to know is that the Linux kernel is not only about the drivers but also the core code which needs to be taken care of. Second there is still a vast amount of drivers to be completed and help in this area is more than appreciated. Fact: It does not have to be time consuming. Whoever works on the kernel allocates as much time as he or she wants. The people who do it out of passion, aside from their daily duties, use a few evenings a week and they still contribute. I started contributing during the period where I run every second day (evening), I still did a complete renovation of part of my apartment, I went for holidays, and I watched almost every game during the World Cup 2014 and World Volleyball Championship 2014. There was not much time left for kernel stuff and still I succeeded in sending a few patches. The important thing to remember is that unless you are paid for it there is no pressure and no hurry so take it easy and do as much as you can. A New Mindset In this first installment of a series aimed at encouraging people to do kernel programming. I introduced a complete change of mindset by explaining that what might have seemed hard is in fact fairly easy to do. Just remember that: Linux kernel programming is fairly easy. It is not required to have access to special hardware. There is still a lot of work to be done. You can allocate as much time as you want and as you can. Armed with this knowledge we are ready for the next part which will give insight into what could be your starting point in Linux kernel development. ------------------ Three Ways for Beginners to Contribute to the Linux Kernel Wednesday, 21 January 2015 16:04 Konrad Zapa?owicz |?Exclusive 1239? ? I immediately saw that I need to be proactive because no one will do any kind of work for me... I decided to be a one instead of a zero and find a couple of starting points for a newbie (wannabe) Linux kernel contributor. Image source: Pixabay, creative commons. The learning curve to becoming a Linux kernel developer is pretty steep and choosing the right direction might be somewhat difficult (but not as hard as you think - see my previous article.) However, I have some ideas on how to start this beautiful journey. I hope that these guidelines will be useful for someone. When I finished the Eudyptula Challenge, a series of programming exercises that teaches you how to contribute to the Linux kernel, I got involved in a discussion with *little* who is the penguin that runs the challenge. He asked me if I would like to contribute and when I confirmed, he asked me if I have any idea what I would like to do in the kernel. I answered that given my current level of knowledge the best for me would be to work with one of the maintainers who could tell me what shall be done and later review my work so that I could learn and do something useful at the same time. Can you guess the answer? It was: "No maintainer has that time, sorry." In this particular moment I understood what my attitude should be. I immediately saw that I need to be proactive because no one will do any kind of work for me. This reminded me of a quote from one of the hacker movies that I enjoyed as a teenager; it fits: ?This business is all about bits. It is up to us if we are one or zero.? I decided to show the "1" attitude and find a couple of starting points for a newbie (wannabe) Linux kernel contributor. 1. Improve the code quality This is the easiest type of task and as such it has a very good ratio of difficulty to the learning value. In essence it is about either making sure that the code follows the coding styleor eliminating the static code checker errors and warnings. In general the code is in pretty good shape because of the policy of not allowing patches which contain such flaws. However there are a few (enough work for everyone) weak spots where things should be improved. The biggest advantage of this kind of assignment is that it allows you to learn a lot. In particular it teaches the proper coding style, then the various areas of the kernel code, and last but not least it makes you a better programmer with the experience that you get. So now, let?s see how to work on the coding style and on the static code checker complaints. Apply the coding style There is a tool called *checkpatch.pl* which resides in the *scripts* directory of the kernel repository. This very clever script checks either the patches or files for issues in the coding style. Additionally, if the input file is a patch, it verifies if it conforms to the patch format. The usage is very simple as it checks the input files, which by default are understood to be patches (the product of git format-patch.) There is **-f** option which tells the script that the input is a regular file so it will not check the format of the patch. % scripts/checkpatch.pl ../patches/*patch % scripts/checkpatch.pl -f drivers/tty/serial/jsm/*c This is the sample output for one of the patches that I prepared. As you can see I was careless enough to sneak one coding style issue. konrad in linux-mainline on jsm-work % scripts/checkpatch.pl ../patches/0001*patch WARNING: Unnecessary space before function pointer arguments #28: FILE: drivers/tty/serial/jsm/jsm.h:123: + void (*clear_break) (struct jsm_channel *ch); total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 32 lines checked ../patches/0001-serial-jsm-Remove-unnecessary-parameter-from-clear_b.patch has style problems, please review. If any of these errors are false positives, please report them to the maintainer, see CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS. konrad in linux-mainline on jsm-work % Static check the code The next step, after improving the style, is to actually fix the broken code. The Linux kernel build system uses the sparse static code analyzer which, when enabled, runs over every file that is compiled and if there is anything wrong with it, reports it. It?s as simple as that.> The prerequisite however is to install it which shouldn't be an issue for a modern Linux distribution. On Ubuntu it is enough to type in the terminal: % sudo apt-get install sparse Moreover the releases can be downloaded from kernel.org and installed using the *make & make install* combo. The usage is very simple as there is a *make* option for it. % make C=1 It will run static checker over every file that is being compiled in. This is the example output of running sparse over the dgap driver from the staging area. The code is in a pretty good state as there is only one warning reported. konrad in linux-mainline (jsm-work) % make C=1 M=drivers/staging/dgap LD drivers/staging/dgap/built-in.o CHECK drivers/staging/dgap/dgap.c drivers/staging/dgap/dgap.c:365:25: warning: too long initializer-string for array of char CC [M] drivers/staging/dgap/dgap.o Building modules, stage 2. MODPOST 1 modules CC drivers/staging/dgap/dgap.mod.o LD [M] drivers/staging/dgap/dgap.ko konrad in linux-mainline (jsm-work) % 2. Read the TODOs Naturally, after a while of improving the code quality it is good to move on and seek different kinds of assignments. The source tree contains a number of TODO files which, to some extent, contain descriptions of work that shall be done. This is a starting point and a source of inspiration for anyone willing to do something in the kernel without a real idea on where to start. This was my way of getting involved in the development of *staging/dgnc* and later the *jsm* driver. At the time of writing there are 53 TODO files in the kernel source tree. I figured out that the best way to browse them would be to merge the contents of each into one big text file for easier reading. I also wanted to know how long ago the TODO file had been updated. This is to check how accurate (or innacurate) the information might be. As a result I developed a terrible bash one liner which gave me what I wanted, here it is: % echo "" > /tmp/todolist-kernel.txt; count=0; for entry in `find . -name "*TODO*"`; do echo $count". "$entry`git log --pretty=format:" Last edited %ar" $entry | head -1` >> /tmp/todolist-kernel.txt; echo "" >> /tmp/todolist-kernel.txt; sed 's/^/ /' $entry >> /tmp/todolist-kernel.txt; echo "" >> /tmp/todolist-kernel.txt; ((count=$count+1)); done It takes a while to execute but at the end all the information is ready for checking out in the /tmp/todolist-kernel.txt file. It might be hard to browse as it contains around 1.2k lines however it gets better with Vim and the foldmethod set to *indent*. Nevertheless, choosing the area of interest is a time consuming process so do not rush, read it carefully and make your choice. I have been told that the information in the TODOs, at least in the staging area, should be accurate. However for example, for the *dgnc* driver it was not the case as some of the bullet points have already been addressed. I assume that this might be the case for a few other TODOs as well. In my case I found this to be good for me because I had a chance (been forced to) to learn the code and understand how it works to be able to sort out what is done and what is not. So in general this is a good experience unless the TODO is painfully old. In this case everything is possible including the driver being obsolete and/or abandoned for good. As for me I focused on the driver for which I could understand the bullet points from the TODO. I did not really want to be stuck in some kind of really difficult development. I believe that this is very good approach for newcomers into the Linux kernel development and in general because having a chance to actually accomplish something is very important for self confidence. So if you do not know much about Linux kernel programming I recommend my approach. The drivers/staging area I mentioned the *staging* area a few times so far. Now it is high time to elaborate more on what it is. So basically the drivers/staging area is a home for not yet officially supported drivers. The whole area is supported by Greg KH, the Linux DriverProject is behind it and people involved communicate on thedriverdev-develmailing list. The code in staging does not meet the quality standards and the job is to make it good enough to be promoted as a 'real' kernel driver. This makes it a perfect place to start from especially when combined with the information from TODOs. It is important to know that there is a significant amount of people working in this area nowadays. So it is good to follow the mailing list just to get the gist of what people are working on. It would be unfortunate to learn, after sending the patch, that someone has made this change like a week ago or something. 3. Fix a kernel bug As any other software project the kernel has bugs. It can be either a direct crash or just a glitch reported in the bug tracking system. Regardless of what it is, fixing it is a great, challenging adventure as fixing bugs is more advanced than improving the code quality. Kernel OOPS The kernel OOPS is a crash and it usually does not happen, nevertheless once in a while it can be seen. Debugging such an issue is advanced stuff however it is a great learning experience. My best kernel patch so far is the one liner I implemented for the crash that I had a few months ago. Bugzilla Kernel bugs are tracked using Bugzilla. This is a good source of inspiration for the brave. :) Summary As you see there is many ways of contributing and still a lot of work to be done. In short you can: * start in the drivers/staging area * improve the code quality * find inspiration in the TODOs * fix an actual bug in the kernel. And there is much more inspiration that you can find when you actually start. http://www.linux.com/news/software/linux-kernel/801601-4-myths-about-linux-kernel-programming-debunked ------------------------- http://www.linux.com/news/software/linux-kernel/804403-three-ways-for-beginners-to-contribute-to-the-linux-kernel From aife netvisao.pt Mon Oct 26 14:01:38 2015 From: aife netvisao.pt (=?UTF-8?B?QW5kcsOpIElzaWRvcm8gRmVybmFuZGVzIEVzdGV2ZXM=?=) Date: Mon Oct 26 14:01:45 2015 Subject: [ANSOL-geral] =?utf-8?q?Opini=C3=A3o=3A_Celso=2C_Pires_de_Lima_e_?= =?utf-8?q?Zeinal_Bava_-_um_faz=2C_o_outro_desfaz_e_ao_terceiro_n=C3=A3o_d?= =?utf-8?q?eixaram_fazer?= Message-ID: <562E3242.6030206@netvisao.pt> Mehhhh...Vale o que vale num país aonde inovar é copiar o que se faz lá fora...

Por Paulo Trezentos (*) Houve uma Internet em Portugal antes de 23 de Outubro de 2015 - data da demissão de Celso Martinho como responsável do SAPO. E vai haver Internet em Portugal depois de 23 de Outubro. Não porque tenha mudando alguma coisa num ?site? ou servidor, mas pelo simbolismo do que aconteceu e está para acontecer. Como em todos países do Mundo, a Internet 1.0 foi a época em que os negócios tradicionais (supermercados, indústria,?) tinham uma montra nesta rede. A Internet 2.0 é a época em que negócios são digitais e on-line, com ou sem vertente física. Taxis, SMS, RTP, Bancos, Supermercados, Servidores de Ficheiros empresariais e CD-ROMs estão na Internet 1.0. Uber, Whatsapp, Netflix, Crowdfunding, Amazon, Dropbox e App Stores são a Internet 2.0. A mudança vai ser tão profunda como foi a revolução industrial. Portugal vai ganhar alguns pontos e perder muitos outros nesta mudança. A melhor forma de perceber e ilustrar esta mudança é olha-la através de três protagonistas que marcam esta passagem. Celso Martinho Cada país tem os seus heróis e o o Celso é o Larry Page e Mark Zuckerberg da Internet em Portugal. Contar a história dos últimos 20 anos em que esteve à frente do SAPO é contar a história da Internet em Portugal. Dêem-me o desconto de ser seu amigo há outros tantos anos, tendo as nossas carreiras profissionais se cruzado múltiplas vezes. Estávamos em 1998 quando um grupo de 20 pessoas via USENET (foruns) decidiu jantar no Bairro Alto para decidir fazer um portal (na altura a palavra da moda) dedicado a Linux, algo que unia o grupo. Celso, João Bordalo, Pedro Melo, Mário Valente, eu próprio, entre outros, não conseguiram levar o linux.pt muito além de uma página de entrada mas muitos dos projectos de Internet em Portugal (como a Telenet, Esoterica, Clix,?) tiveram-nos como protagonistas. O legado do Celso nestes 20 anos vai para além do SAPO como projecto de Internet em Portugal, a frente mais visível. O impacto que teve nesta geração foi a 3 níveis: pioneiro tecnológico, cultura de ambição e eventos. Pioneiro tecnológico enquanto esteve sempre na linha da frente de novas tendências que foram surgindo na Internet. O ?off-line to online? de serviços da PT, novas tecnologias (open source, segurança,?), a passagem para o Mobile, as páginas ?responsive?, etc.. tiveram-no sempre como defensor. Cultura. O facto dos projectos em que se envolvia terem sucesso, fez com o que tamanho das equipas que comandava fossem aumentando, chegando a 300 pessoas. Nessas equipas foi criando uma cultura de ambição, partilha e profissionalismo e apenas os ?melhores dos melhores? conseguiam ir para o SAPO. Essas equipas acreditavam não haver limites ao que com dedicação e talento se conseguia fazer. Até retirar o som irritante das Vuvuzelas nos jogos de futebol era possível. Essa cultura transbordou do SAPO à medida que as pessoas abraçavam novos desafios e vai perdurar enquanto essas pessoas o mantiverem e elas próprias o transmitirem. Eventos. O Celso foi o criador do Codebits, o maior evento de tecnologia em Portugal que fez com que gerações de portugueses passassem um fim-de-semana por ano acordados a programar, ouvir talks e comer tacos. Sim, o sonho dos Geeks. Mas também foi organizador da MakerFaire em Lisboa e muitos meet-ups relacionados com impressão 3D, Arduinos e Raspberry pi. Estes eventos foram uma forma de disseminação das tecnologias em que foi percursor e a cultura que anteriormente mencionei chegarem a tantos portugueses. A história da contribuição do Celso não acaba com a sua demissão do SAPO e os seus próximos projectos vão certamente continuar a mudar a Internet em Portugal. Zeinal Bava Hoje, o número de detractores de Zeinal Bava enquanto gestor é igual ao número dos que o elogiavam há uns anos atrás. O número é igual porque são os mesmos. Nunca trabalhei directamente com ele, nunca fiz parte do seu circulo e nunca fui dos que o elogiaram. Por isso, estou à vontade para ser voz contra-corrente e dizer que foi dos poucos gestores em Portugal que percebeu a mudança que se aproximava e tentou preparar a PT para essa mudança. Quanto à parte legal do seu exercício das suas funções, não me pronuncio e para isso existem tribunais. Como gestor, foi exemplar não só pela ambição de querer levar uma empresa portuguesa para fora de Portugal. Foi genial ao compreender que era preciso acrescentar valor ao negócio de voz e dados. Era preciso ter valor ?over-the-top? prestando serviços aos clientes para além de transmitir bits e bytes. E apostou no Celso e na PT Inovação / PT SI para executarem essa estratégia. E, sim, a PT não alcançou esse objectivo de ser um actor em múltiplos continentes como prestador de serviços ?over-the-top?. Na minha avaliação, falhou não pelas decisões que tomou mas porque se gerou a ?tempestade perfeita? que ninguém conseguiria prever ou evitar. A queda do accionista de referência, a crise económica em Portugal e até a crise política da Europa puseram fim ao principal projecto de Internet 2.0 em Portugal. Falhar só acontece a quem não ousa. Zeinal ousou e fê-lo com muito talento. E muitas coisas positivas e de valor para a economia foram criada com a sua liderança e no percurso que descrevi.. Pires de Lima A Altice é um grupo de franceses que pediu crédito aos bancos para comprar empresas de telecomunicações, fazer engenharia financeira com as mesmas e revende-las daqui a 5 anos. Ponto. Nesse percurso, vai despedir ou fazer com que se despeçam o máximo de pessoas na PT, vai empossar lideranças fracas no projecto empresarial (a ligação à demissão do Celso Martinho é pura coincidência) e desinvestir de desenvolvimento em Portugal. Durante muitos anos, e com as seus próprios defeitos e problemas internos, o SAPO, a PT Inovação e a PT SI acrescentaram valor à economia através da inovação. Em três meses, esses três centros de criação de valor estão destruídos irreversivelmente. Mesmo que houvesse vontade política e empresarial, já não é possível voltar atrás. Sempre gostei do ministro Pires de Lima porque sempre me pareceu credível e inteligente. E porque, como ele, acredito que o estado deve intervir pouco na economia. Hoje, é ele a cara da Altice em Portugal. O que poderia ele ter feito ? Quando a PT falhou no Brasil e a estrutura accionista caiu, era preciso perceber a visão do projeto e quais os novos accionistas que poderiam liderar a PT na Internet 2.0. Quem poderia liderar esta visão de projectos ?over-the-top? de carácter global com a tecnologia dos 3 centros de inovação da PT. Esses accionistas poderiam ser portugueses ou estrangeiros. Mas que ajudassem a PT, e Portugal, a dar esse salto para a Internet dos Uber, do Netflix que entrou esta semana em Portugal, dos Whatsapp e das Dropbox. Nos Estados Unidos ou em Inglaterra, na Alemanha ou em Singapura, o estado intervém pouco mas fá-lo quando está em causa o interesse nacional. Penso que o problema não é o facto do ministro vir dos Sumos e das Cervejas. O problema é não ter acreditado que nós, portugueses, podíamos ter uma palavra a dizer na Internet 2.0 e dos centros da PT poderia ter surgido um competidor global do Slack ou da Rocket Internet. Para o ministro, nós sermos empregados de Call Center em Vieira do Minho é o desígnio nacional. As más noticias. As grandes empresas e de referência em Portugal não estão a fazer a mudança. Ao futuro governo português cabe aprender com o descalabro da PT e de forma muito pontual tentar que no âmbito da sua intervenção possa apoiar essas empresas - como bancos, construtoras, turismo, fileira do papel, ? - a serem actores na nova economia. Ainda piores noticias. Algumas empresas internacionais (como a Naspers ou a Sky), aproveitaram os últimos meses para instalarem em Portugal centros de desenvolvimento de software e contratarem os engenheiros e developers que saíram da PT. São más noticias ? Para Portugal, muito provavelmente. Só o ordenado desses engenheiros fica em Portugal. As chefias intermédias e de topo, os fornecedores, a retribuição aos accionistas e - muito importante - os impostos ficam todos fora de Portugal. As boas noticias. Feezai, Talkdesk, Uniplace, Science4you ou Aptoide são empresas portuguesas e não estão no negócio dos Call Centers. Estão no negócio da Internet 2.0. Têm chefias intermédias e de topo, fornecedores e alguns accionistas portugueses. Pagam impostos. Contribuem para as exportações. São rentáveis e têm milhões de utilizadores. Querem conquistar o mundo prestando serviços a nível global e estão a contratar talento em Portugal e para Portugal. A Internet do ?off-line to online?, do ?over the top? está aí. E ao contrário do descalabro das empresas de referência, o ecosistema de start-ups está a funcionar melhor do que nunca. Os investidores (Portugal Ventures, Faber,?), as incubadoras (Startup Lisboa, Beta-I, BGI ISCTE,?), os eventos (Web Summit,?) estão a colocar Portugal no mapa. A Internet está 1.0 está morta. Viva a Internet 2.0. (*) investigador, professor auxiliar do ISCTE e fundador da Caixa Mágica e da Aptoide.

The blockades are part of a new agreement between the authorities, copyright holders and ISPs, through which hundreds of websites are expected to be blocked during the months to come. Rather than taking site operators to court, copyright holders increasingly demand that Internet providers should block access to ‘pirate’ domains instead. As a result, courts all around the world have ordered ISPs to block subscriber access to various pirate sites. But there are other ways. In Portugal a voluntary process has recently been formalized through an agreement between several parties including the Ministry of Culture and the Association of Telecommunication Operators. Earlier this year local Internet Providers were already ordered to block access to The Pirate Bay and under the new agreement it would be possible to add new pirate sites without a court intervention. This weekend the new site blocking mechanism was used for the first time, with ISPs adding 51 new domain names connected to copyright-infringing sites. The list (posted in full below) includes popular torrent sites including as KickassTorrents (Kat.cr), ExtraTorrent, Isohunt, YTS and RARBG, as well as streaming portals and linking sites such as Dayt.se, Watchseries and Primewire. In addition to several new targets, Pirate Bay’s alternative domain name thepiratebay.la and unofficial proxy piratebay.to were also added. Users who try to access any of the domain names now get a notice informing them that the site has been blocked. “The site you try to access is blocked in compliance with a notification from the Regulatory Authority,†the translated message reads. The 51 domain names are just the start, as the various parties previously announced that hundreds of sites will eventually be blocked. Under the agreement copyright holders can file two complaints each month, each of which can target up to 50 websites. All sites are added following complaints from copyright holders. The reported sites are investigated by local anti-piracy group MAPINET and will end up on the blocklist if there’s enough evidence of systematic infringing activity. —- The full list of blocked domain names, as reported by Exame Informatica, is as follows. – http://1337x.to – http://btrev.net/ – http://clubedodownload.info/ – http://dayt.se/ – http://extratorrent.cc – http://forum-maximus.net/ – http://gigatuga.com/ – http://lusoshare.com/ – http://megafilmeshd.net – http://moov7.net – http://osmetralhas.pt/ – http://osreformados.com/index.php – http://piratatugafilmes.com/ – http://poptuga.com/ – http://ptxtuga.com/ – http://revistas-jornais.blogspot.com – http://revistas-jornais.blogspot.pt/ – http://seriestvix.tv – http://thewatchseries.to/ – http://toppt.net/ – http://torrentreactor.com – http://tuga.io/ – http://tugaanimado.net/ – http://tugaflix.com/ – http://tugaoxe.com/ – http://watchseries.lt – http://www.baixartv.com/ – http://www.cinefilmesonline.net – http://www.elitedosfilmes.com/ – http://www.filmesonline2.com – http://www.filmesonlinegratis.net – http://www.lusofilmesonline.com/ – http://www.monova.org – http://www.primewire.ag – http://www.rpds-download.org/ – http://www.scnsrc.me – http://www.seriesvideobb.com – http://www.sharetuga.com/ – http://www.torrenthound.com – http://www.tuga-filmes.info/ – http://www.warez-box.net/ – http://www.watchseries.li – https://filmesonlineportugueses.wordpress.com/ – https://isohunt.to – https://kat.cr – https://piratebay.to – https://rarbg.to – https://ratotv.net/ – https://thepiratebay.la – https://yts.to – http://toppt.tv -------------- próxima parte ---------- Um anexo em HTML foi limpo...

When Edward Snowden disclosed details of America?s huge surveillance program two years ago, many in Europe thought that the response would be increased transparency and stronger oversight of security services. European countries, however, are moving in the opposite direction. Instead of more public scrutiny, we are getting more snooping. Pushed to respond to the atrocious attacks in Paris and Copenhagen and by the threats posed by the Islamic State to Europe?s internal security, several countries are amending their counterterrorism legislation to grant more intrusive powers to security services, especially in terms of mass electronic surveillance. France recently adopted a controversial law on surveillance that permits major intrusions, without prior judicial authorization, into the private lives of suspects and those who communicate with them, live or work in the same place or even just happen to be near them. The German Parliament adopted a new data retention law on Oct. 16 that requires telecommunications operators and Internet service providers to retain connection data for up to 10 weeks. And the British government intends to increase the authorities? powers to carry out mass surveillance and bulk collection of intercepted data. Meanwhile, Austria is set to discuss a draft law that would allow a new security agency to operate with reduced external control and to collect and store communication data for up to six years. The Netherlands is considering legislation allowing dragnet surveillance of all telecommunications, indiscriminate gathering of metadata, decryption and intrusion into the computers of non-suspects. And in Finland, the government is even considering changing the Constitution to weaken privacy protections in order to ease the adoption of a bill granting the military and intelligence services the power to conduct electronic mass surveillance with little oversight. Governments now argue that to guarantee our security we have to sacrifice some rights. This is a specious argument. By shifting from targeted to mass surveillance, governments risk undermining democracy while pretending to protect it. They are also betraying a long political and judicial tradition affording broad protection to privacy in Europe, where democratic legal systems have evolved to protect individuals from arbitrary interference by the state in their private and family life. The European Court of Human Rights has long upheld the principle that surveillance interferes with the right to privacy. Although the court accepts that the use of confidential information is essential in combating terrorist threats, it has held that the collection, use and storage of such information should be authorized only under exceptional and precise conditions, and must be accompanied by adequate legal safeguards and independent supervision. The court has consistently applied this principle for decades when it was called to judge the conduct of several European countries, which were combating domestic terrorist groups. More recently, as new technologies have offered more avenues to increase surveillance and data collection, the court has reiterated its position in a number of leading cases against several countries, including France, Romania, Russia and Britain, condemned for having infringed the right to private and family life that in the interpretation of the court covers also ?the physical and psychological integrity of a person.? Last year, the European Court of Justice set limits on telecommunication data retention. By invalidating a European Union directive for its unnecessary ?wide-ranging and particularly serious interference with the fundamental right to respect for private life? and personal data, this court reaffirmed the outstanding place privacy holds in Europe. This judgment echoed a 2006 German Constitutional Court ruling that the German police had breached the individual right to self-determination and human dignity after they conducted a computerized search of suspected terrorists. Regrettably, these judgments are often ignored by key decision-makers. Many of the surveillance policies that have recently been adopted in Europe fail to abide by these legal standards. Worse, many of the new intrusive measures would be applied without any prior judicial review establishing their legality, proportionality or necessity. This gives excessive power to governments and creates a clear risk of arbitrary application and abuse. If European governments and parliaments do not respect fundamental principles and judicial obligations, our lives will become much less private. Our ability to participate effectively in public life is threatened, too, because these measures curtail our freedom of speech and our right to receive information ? including that of public interest. Not all whistleblowers have the technical knowledge Mr. Snowden possessed. Many would fear discovery if they communicated with journalists, who in turn would lose valuable sources, jeopardizing their ability to reveal unlawful conduct in both the public and private spheres. Watergates can only happen when whistleblowers feel protected. Indiscriminate mass surveillance can also impinge on attorney-client privilege and medical confidentiality. You might think twice before seeing a lawyer or a doctor, knowing that the authorities ? and private companies ? are aware of your communications and movements. It is essential that European countries pause and consider the damage they have done. At a minimum, three core safeguards should be provided. First, legislation should limit surveillance and the use of data in a way that strictly respects the right to privacy as spelled out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, European data protection standards, the case law of the European Court of Human Rights and that of the European Court of Justice. These norms oblige states to respect human rights when they gather and store information relating to our private lives and to protect individuals from unlawful surveillance, including when carried out by foreign agencies. Second, there must be rigorous procedures for the examination, use and storage of all data obtained, and those subjected to surveillance should be given a chance to exercise their legal rights to appeal. Third, security agencies must operate under independent scrutiny and judicial review. This will require intrusive oversight powers for parliaments and a judiciary that is involved in the decision-making process to ensure accountability. Countries that have adopted controversial surveillance laws should reconsider or amend them. And those considering new surveillance legislation should do so with great caution. Terrorism is a real threat and it requires an effective response. But adopting surveillance measures that undermine human rights and the rule of law is not the solution. Nils Muiznieks is the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights.

Message-ID: <562FEC96.3040703@netvisao.pt> Why one software CEO agreed to meet a patent troll?and then fought it to the end "He seemed sad... but for whatever reason, he decided to take this path." by Joe Mullin - Oct 27, 2015 8:40pm GMT Pegasystems founder Alan Trefler, speaking at PegaWORLD conference earlier this year. Pegasystems When the business software company Pegasystems got sued in 2013 by a mysterious shell company called "YYZ LLC," Pegasystems' head of IP licensing, Ayaz Hameed, got ready to tell his boss that they had been hit by a patent troll. Hameed looked at the two patents in the complaint (PDF), numbered 7,062,749 and 7,603,674, and read their examination histories. The patent focused on creating "monitoring messages" and storing them into a central database using what's called a "message broker." "There was nothing earth shattering about what he [the inventor] said," concluded Hameed. It also didn't come close to describing how the accused software, Pegasystem's SmartBPM Suite, worked. Hammed began the unenviable job of telling Pegasystem's CEO and founder, Alan Trefler, that the company and his life's work had been hit with a low-value patent suit?from a "company" they'd never heard of seeking a quick payout. It's an all-too-familiar story for software companies. The most surprising thing about the YYZ lawsuit was that it was Pegasystems' first. By 2013 when the suit was filed, Pegasystems was one of the biggest companies building business-process and customer relationship software. But Trefler's response was unexpected. "Why don't we talk to the guy and explain to him that we don't infringe?" Hameed recalled. "From everything I?ve heard about patent licensing entities and patent trolls, I thought, 'it's not going to work,'" Hameed said. "But why not give it a shot?" The thinking was that perhaps in a one-on-one meeting, inventor to CEO, cooler heads would prevail. "I tend to be fairly optimistic in my views of humankind," said Trefler in an interview with Ars. "I always think there?s some chance." Meeting in Cambridge The lead inventor on the patents and apparent owner of YYZ is Vincent Cyr. He founded an IT services firm called Promenix in 1997, and it was sold a decade later. The patents were spun out into YYZ. YYZ's lawyer had already reached out to tell Hameed that IBM and Oracle, two software giants who compete with Pegasystems, had already paid for licenses to the patents. "They told us, if we wait longer, it will go up in price," said Hameed, who wouldn't say what YYZ's cash demands were. "Typical troll tactics." Cyr came to Pegasystems' headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts with his lawyer. They spoke with Trefler and Hameed for over two hours, with Trefler?whose knowledge of Pegasystems' products goes back decades?trying to explain how the concepts in the patent were far outdated by the time it was filed in 2000. "Some of the principles they had patented were ones I had been involved in implementing," said Trefler. "Messages brokers," for instance, are middleware systems that have allowed computers to talk to each other and have been in operation for decades. In Trefler's view, the concepts in the patents date to at least the 1970s. Cyr was respectful and not rude, but during the meeting it became clear that he and his lawyer, Julie Chovanes, weren't interested in the merits of the case, Hameed said. Cheng: "Why those asshats trade at any value, I don't know." "I asked [Chovanes], 'What do you mean by 'message broker?' and she said, 'We'll make it mean whatever it needs to mean for us to win this case,'" he said. "That's not something that someone who's interested in the technology would say." Trefler also thought Cyr and his lawyer had earlier expressed a "bona fide interest" in hearing their position on how Pega's technology differed from what their patent described. The meeting left him disappointed and determined. "The conversation kept coming back to 'if you pay us this much, we'll go away,'" Trefler said. "I concluded that was two hours of my life I'm not going to get back." Perhaps early engagement from Trefler made Cyr, other YYZ investors, and his lawyers think they were likely to get such a payoff, but it had the opposite effect. Trefler became more energized to win a complete victory over the YYZ patents?even though millions in potential damages were at stake. "He [Cyr] seemed sad to be doing what he was doing," Trefler said. "He would have been happier running a business instead of an NPE [non-practicing entity], but for whatever reason, he had decided to take this path. I encouraged him to recapture the work he had done earlier." Cyr, who runs a real estate business in his home state of Pennsylvania, wouldn't discuss the meeting with Pegasystems or anything else about the YYZ litigation. "Whatever anybody wants to write, I can't stop you," he said when reached by telephone. "I have nothing to say at this point in time. I may be involved in an appeal." Cyr also wouldn't say what the name of his company, YYZ, meant. "It's letters?we put the company together to hold the patent," he said. Fighting a system in ?moral decay? Hameed arranged for two steps to keep costs low while the company litigated the case. First, Pegasystems would become part of a joint defense group that included other companies sued by YYZ: Hewlett-Packard, Adobe, Software AG, and BMC. Those five companies shared experts and prior art searches. Some aspects of the litigation, including much of the electronic discovery, were handled in-house using Hameed's own IT team. He also hired the Pittsburgh-based Webb Law Firm on a recommendation from Newegg Chief Legal Officer Lee Cheng, who has used the firm for high-stakes cases against other patent trolls. Ultimately, BMC and Software AG ended up settling out of the case, which was a surprise to Hameed and his team. During the course of the case, the Supreme Court issued its opinion in last year's Alice Corp. v. CLS Bank decision, a landmark patent case that has made it much easier to knock out software patents that are abstract. As courts began interpreting Alice as a mandate to kill many types of "do it on a computer"-type patents, Hameed got more confident that his team was going to beat YYZ, perhaps even before a trial. On October 8, the company won a total victory. In a 22-page opinion (PDF), US District Judge Sue Robinson found that YYZ's patents were abstract and unable to pass the first test of patentability. YYZ lawyers claimed that their patents "use a very specific set of technologies and invented a set of solutions to problems that existed in very specific technological environments," but Robinson saw it as routine functionality dressed up with computer language. "To broadly claim a method of accomplishing routine functions requires more than just an 'apply it' directive, even in a specific technical environment," wrote Robinson. "A component that 'can be configured' to perform the claimed function is neither sufficiently described nor sufficiently innovative" to warrant getting a patent. YYZ has until next month to decide whether it will appeal, and Hameed is expecting that the company will. Meanwhile, Pegasystems is going to request its legal fees get paid?something that has also gotten easier because of Supreme Court precedent. Hameed and Trefler declined to say how much Pegasystems spent on defense, although they acknowledge that the legal bill was likely higher than what the company could have settled for. Like many other tech companies, Pegasystems has advocated for legislative change to the patent system as well. For 59-year-old Trefler, a former chess champion and the son of a Holocaust survivor, taking on these cases is a simple matter of being a responsible member of the industry. "Nothing can be worse than encouraging these sorts of suits," he said. "As someone who?s always prided himself as being an engineer and an inventor, I think it is disrespectful to both of those professions to engage in or support frivolous patents.

Absolutely not, we say. And to prove our point,we built our very own laptop, from the circuit boards on up. Admittedly, we did not delude ourselves that we could build a laptop that would be faster, smaller, or cheaper than those of Apple, Dell, or HP. However, we did set out to build a machine powerful and convenient enough to use every day. Fortunately, our dream inspired enough people to crowdfund the effort. Our laptop, which we call Novena, started shipping to backers in January 2015. Events favored our quest.Because Moore’s Law is slowing down , garage innovators can take a couple of years to develop a high-tech gadget without discovering that the completed version is obsolete. It has been three years since we started the Novena project and yet the 40-nanometer process on which our central microprocessor is based continues to occupy a sweet spot between cost and performance. Also, the economic malaise of 2008 left a lasting mark on global supply chains. Even today, manufacturers are no longer too busy printing money to make the time for producing small, boutique projects like ours; instead, they see us as an opportunity to gain an edge over their competition. Owners of small factories in China turned out to be eager to learn our agile approach to engineering, so they, too, could take on the challenge of low-volume production and address the growing market of hardware startups. *We started by considering*the constraints of the most complex and brittle pieces of any such system: the software. We wanted to build a complete computer, one with a long-term-support road map, and we had neither the resources nor the manpower to negotiate with vendors of proprietary hardware and software. We wanted to be able to inspect and understand as much of the system and its components as we could, so if we came across bugs or other anomalous behavior, we could rely on our wits to figure it out, rather than on the profit-motivated (and often empty) promises of a vendor‘s sales team. As a result, we decided to produce a laptop that was as free as possible of closed-source embedded firmware. Firmware is basically software (such as drivers, kernels, and bootloaders), installed at the factory, thatruns on “bare iron†—the computer itself, not its operating system. It’s found not only on the main CPU in your laptop but also on about a dozen embedded controllers—small, special-purpose processors that take care of such things as managing the battery, keeping your hard disk free of errors, and maintaining your Wi-Fi connection. Each of these processors runs a bit of firmware; sometimes the firmware can be updated or modified, typically for the purpose of fixing bugs or adding features. But such updates can also introduce bugs or security flaws, and if you haven’t got the ability to inspect the firmware, then you, the user, must depend utterly on the vendor to take care of security. /img/HRLaptopKeyboardremoved-1445884800912.jpg/img/041LaptoprearCampaignimagesScottTorborgCrowdSupplyNovena-1089-1445884407092.jpg Photos: Scott Torborg/Crowd Supply *Laptop, Open Wide:*The Novena opens to reveal the circuit boards; when it’s closed, the outward-facing display lets you use it like a tablet. This open-source requirement of ours ended up influencing the selection of almost every piece of hardware, including the main CPU, the battery controller, and the Wi-Fi module. For example, we couldn’t use Intel’s x86 microprocessors because they can accept firmware updates that we cannot debug or inspect. Instead we chose an ARM-based Freescale i.MX6system-on-a-chip , which has no such updatable code embedded. (A system-on-a-chip, or SoC, is similar to a microprocessor except it has more of the supporting hardware, such as memory and peripheral interfaces, needed to make a complete computer.) The i.MX6 does have some code burned into it to coordinate the computer’s boot-up process, but this firmware can’t be changed, and its unencrypted binary code can be read out and analyzed for possible security problems. Another advantage was Freescale’s policy of distributing a very detailed reference manual covering most of the chip’s real estate without requiring a nondisclosure agreement. That’s important because such an agreement would have gotten in the way of the community involvement that our strategy for long-term support required. Our next choice had social repercussions. When you adopt a CPU/operating-system combination, you also adopt its developers. We decided against Google Android because it’s optimized for phones and tablets, its graphical display typically shows only one application at a time, and its touch-screen paradigm is too imprecise for computer-aided design work. Therefore, in order to create a system that our target market of developers and creators could use, we decided to run on our ARM chip a version of Linux called GNU/Linux. GNU, which authored both the OS libraries and the license that the Linux kernel uses, is a coder’s organization, right down to the self-referential acronym itself (it stands for “Gnu’s Not Unixâ€). Unfortunately, most Linux versions for ARM were not designed for personal computing but rather for routers and the set-top boxes that convert signals for viewing on televisions. Manufacturers that use Linux generally build their own, highly customized system around what’s called the Linux kernel—the core framework of the OS. That way, they ensure that their customers, who integrate the software into a larger system, never see so much as a Linux command prompt. Examples include TiVo and airline in-flight–entertainment systems. On top of that, vendors use an old “snapshot†of Linux—that is, they copy whichever kernel is around at the time of chip release. Then they add a lot of patches to it to create a board support package (BSP) for their product, which is a kind of “quick start†kit for hardware developers who don’t want to muck around too much with Linux kernel minutiae. Frequently these BSPs contain proprietary bits that developers can’t copy, that don’t take advantage of features that came with the original kernel, and don’t even follow the standard formatting procedures for Linux code. These undisciplined shortcuts may speed a product to market, but they make the kernel impossible to maintain, update, or improve. As a result, most systems that are based on Linux run kernels that are years out of date. This is not a plan for long-term customer support. Therefore, we adopted the latest kernel available. We patched and extended Freescale’s open-source BSP code to comply with Linux community standards, then submitted our changes to the managers of the Linux community at large. They reviewed our code and provided feedback over several months of iterations. At that point, our code was finallyready to be “upstreamed†into mainline Linux. It’s a time-consuming and laborious process, but when it’s over the Linux community can adopt our version and maintain it. The main advantage of this upstreaming process is that features that come with future Linux kernels can be unlocked by simply downloading the latest version of the operating system and compiling it, without having to repeat the code-review process. Hardware-accelerated graphics proved to be another challenge. Most modern desktop computers assign each application or graphical widget an off-screen memory buffer to render their output on the screen. Only then does the graphics processing unit (GPU) “composite†the various outputs to make the seamless image seen on the screen. This two-step process decouples the application’s drawing rate from the screen’s refresh rate,preventing a “race condition,†in which two input signals compete to be the first to affect the output. Such racing can produce artifacts such as “tearing,†in which the attempt to drag a window ends up moving only the top part by the time the screen refreshes. The newly redrawn half of the window closest to the cursor thus looks torn off from the lower half. Also, the two-step decoupling process can be used to create subtle cues, such as transparency and blur, where foreground windows and title bars can take on the character of frosted glass, providing a hint of what content might lie underneath them. Unfortunately, the integrated GPU on the Freescale i.MX6 chip is closed source. Remember how we said that the vendor-supplied BSPs are typically snapshots of older kernels? The code that Freescale provided for drivers—that’s the software that controls various peripheral devices, like printers and GPUs—is compatible only with an out-of-date version of Linux. And this driver has an unfortunate quirk: It requires any application that talks to it to do all floating-point calculations in software! That’s far slower than doing the calculations in hardware. This example nicely illustrates why closed-source products can be so frustrating. If we’d used this closed-source driver, we would have locked ourselves into an outdated version of Linux and forced other applications to do floating-point calculations in software. But if we’d gone open source to exploit all the features and benefits of the latest Linux version and to allow floating-point calculations done in hardware, users would have had to reverse-engineer the GPU to create compatible open-source drivers. img Photo: Scott Torborg/Crowd Supply*The Novena’s Heart:* A view of the custom-designed internal circuit boards. Underneath the red heat sink is the CPU, and to its immediate right, the FPGA. The white high-speed expansion connector at the top right enables users to easily expand and modify the hardware’s capabilities. We decided to stick to our guns and reject the closed-source GPU altogether, which meant we would have to render graphics in software. Unlike Windows and Mac OS, Linux gives you a choice of how your computer appears to the user. This appearance is governed by a software utility called a desktop window manager. You can select this appearance by picking a particular “distribution†of Linux and coupling it with a particular window manager. We couldn’t use the popular Ubuntu and RedHat distributions because they basically require GPU hardware acceleration, which we had rejected. Instead, we used a slightly older-looking but more open-source-friendly distribution called Debian. We coupled it with a desktop window manager option called Xfce4, which is explicitly designed to run well on systems without GPUs and thus is particularly good at software rendering. But that arrangement, we hope, is merely a stopgap. The user community behind Novena is trying to create, through reverse engineering, open-source drivers that would allow the built-in GPU on the i.MX6 chip to render graphics directly. At the moment, we have drivers that can accelerate the drawing of 2-D figures on the screen, which makes scrolling and window dragging much smoother. We hope eventually to figure out enough of the GPU to let us do 3-D graphics with acceleration sufficient to produce a user experience much like that of any mainstream laptop. *As the software evolved,*the hardware evolved with it. The most extraordinary step we took was to include a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), a type of processor chip that can be reconfigured by its user to change the chip’s specs and capabilities. Basically, this reconfigurability allows the chip to do things in hardware that would otherwise have to be done in software. /img/081LaptopChassisNoScreenBuildupTeardownScottTorborgCrowdSupplyFM7A2306-Edit-1445885708498.jpg Photo: Scott Torborg/Crowd Supply *Novena’s Peek Array:*The brass nuts in the open area at the left constitute the Peek Array, a number of points on which users may attach expansion boards of their choice. Standard-issue laptops lack this trick for making the hardware more hackable. For instance, if you wanted to accurately control a dozen motors, you’d have a lot of trouble doing that in software. Motion control requires exquisite real-time control over waveforms, and if you try to get your operating system to do that it would constantly be shifting from one task to another and back again, adding too much timing jitter. Imagine that stutter you see in your Web browser but in a self-driving car or a drone: instant wreck. However, it’s a relatively simple matter to create hardware that runs the fussy timing and key control loops, and it’s also trivial to replicate variations of that hardware again and again in an FPGA. And at one point, we did in fact want to control a lot of motors. We had the wacky notion of mounting Novena in a quadcopter chassis so that our laptop could hover and follow us around the office; we figured we’d use the FPGA to interface with the requisite motors and sensors. Consequently, the FPGA’s input-output connectors were originally targeted toward servos and motors. Cooler heads eventually prevailed. We instead optimized the FPGA for data acquisition by adding a bank of local high-speed DDR3 RAM chips, a form of high-speed dynamic access memory. This upgrade allowed developers to implement a variety of expansion cards, including one forsoftware-defined radio and another that worked as a digital sampler, which could allow engineers to use our laptop as a portable oscilloscope. Because we developed the project on a shoestring budget and with no solid requirement other than to build the laptop we ourselves would want to use, the laptop evolved organically. Instead of designing circuits into the motherboard specific to a particular battery or LCD—typical for most consumer laptops—we modularized the system. We linked subsystems using generic connectors with pin-outs that were merely educated guesses as to what users would end up hooking onto those pins. As a result, the final incarnation of the laptop includes specialized adapter boards for the battery pack, LCD, and front-bezel arrangement (the frame for the display). The good thing about this modularity is that users can adapt the system to meet their own needs. We’re delighted to have received reports of users changing out LCDs and building custom battery packs. And users can add the keyboard of their choice. We don’t include one. Aside from the inclusion of an FPGA, our hardware decisions were fairly lackluster, even when compared with what comes in a low-end Intel laptop. Our i.MX6 SoC contains a quad-core ARM CortexA9 running at 1.2 gigahertz—a 32-bit processor, which means the system is limited to 4 gigabytes of RAM. We did, however, choose a fairly decent 1920-by-1080 display, which is the spec limit for the i.MX6 chip. Our battery life is acceptable, at a bit over 6 hours. /img/201MainboardProcessorandFPGACampaignimagesScottTorborgCrowdSupplyNovena-853-1445887393061.jpg/img/191LaptopeDPadaptorandRAMdetailCampaignimagesScottTorborgCrowdSupplyNovena-1125-1445887322440.jpg/img/221MyriadRFsoftwaredefinedradioexpansionboardBuildupTeardownScottTorborgCrowdSupplyFM7A6229-1445887436697.jpg/img/091LaptopcablesCampaignimagesScottTorborgCrowdSupplyNovena-1114-1445887278613.jpg/img/261OscilloscopeboardtopCampaignimagesScottTorborgCrowdSupplyFM7A7390-1445887531303.jpgPhotos: Scott Torborg/Crowd Supply*Soup To Nuts:*At top are the CPU’s red heat sink and the FPGA; next is the LCD signal adapter [2nd from top] and the battery board [3rd from top]; next, the optional software-defined-radio module; then the port farm; at bottom is the digital sampler expansion card, which can turn the laptop into an oscilloscope. We included a few extra features just for the fun of it. We built in an accelerometer, although we really don’t know what we’re going to do with it. Accelerometers are cheap, and there are a lot of fun things you can do with your computer when it’s aware of being tilted, hit, or dropped. For instance, you could make your laptopplay a sound clip of “Goodbye, Cruel World!†when it detects that it is in free fall. Most laptops have one Ethernet port at the most, which means that they can act only as endpoints in a network. But we gave Novena two ports to let it sit between nodes, filtering and monitoring traffic for security purposes. The ports also allow our laptop to function as a Wi-Fi router and as an Internet firewall for other wired devices—a handy feature when on the road. And although20 hertz is considered the low end of human hearing, one of us (Huang) has a broader hearing range, so we took the unusual measure of extending the analog frequency response of the headphone jack to below 20 Hz. These little features are never included on a consumer laptop. But it’s these customizations that make the project fun and unique. They add cost—but it’s our cost overrun! The fully loaded laptop sold for US $2,000 during the crowd campaign. So far, we’ve sold about 500. *Initially, we didn’t plan on*going as far as building a mass-producible case. In fact, we made our first case by hand out of leather, bound like a book. The warm reception it got on social media led us to attempt a crowdfunding campaign viaCrowd Supply , a site that takes the idea of Kickstarter and turbocharges it with a Web store and logistics services. One thing we learned in that brush with the mainstream consumer was that most people were not prepared for the experience we were delivering. Our laptop won’t run Windows or Mac OS, nor is it particularly fast or thin. So in order to differentiate our laptop and make it more attractive to true techies, we decided to add some of the things that developers prize. These included mounting bosses—an internal array of metal nuts—which we call the Peek Array (after Nadya Peek, of FabLab fame ). Typical laptops are unhackable because there’s no place to put other...stuff. If you can find the empty space in a laptop, you’d have to glue your expansion board in place or drill a hole through the case to mount your custom hardware. Not so with the Peek Array! Its dozens of threaded nuts allow users to screw all manner of small project boards into the laptop case. Want to add a pulse oximeter to Novena so you can measure thelevel of oxygen in the blood running through the capillaries of your finger? Or maybe a barometer so you can monitor your airliner’s cabin pressure? With just a few screws you can mount your customization inside Novena’s laptop case. /img/392BunnieArticleImagesScottTorborgCrowdSupplyFM7A2344-1445885285362.jpg Photo: Scott Torborg/Crowd Supply*Andrew “bunnie†Huang*visits the Portland, Ore., workshop of collaborator Kurt Mottweiler, who is working on the Heirloom version of the Novena laptop. This special configuration features a hand-crafted wood-and-aluminum case. We also designed the case to open easily under the impetus of an air spring, like the ones used to raise the seat on ergonomic office chairs. With the flick of a switch, the lid (with the screen) opens automatically. We preferred this to a conventional clamshell design on the theory that any laptop that exposes its guts to the user will particularly appeal to users prepared to hack the guts. (People who fear naked circuit boards shouldn’t buy our laptop anyway!) The case is designed to serve through generations of electronics hardware. For instance, to hold the liquid-crystal display in place we used computer numerically controlled (CNC) machining to make an aluminum bezel. Anyone with access to an entry-level machine shop can fabricate a custom bezel to accommodate a different LCD, as well as mount additional sensors (such as a camera or a microphone) or additional buttons and knobs. By putting most of the ports on a single edge, which we call the Port Farm, we made it easy to replace the panel covering it. That way the user can keep the case itself even as the motherboard and the Port Farm evolve. We took into account the total costs of manufacturing tooling as well. For instance, though injection-molded plastic is very cheap on a per-unit basis, the steel tools that produce it are not. You need an oil-cooled block weighing about a ton, capable of handling pressures found at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, machined internally to a tolerance less than the width of a human hair, with a moving clockwork of dozens of ejector pins, sliders, lifters, and parting surfaces separating and coming back together again smoothly over thousands of cycles. Itcan easily cost $250,000 , which is why the injection molding process can pay for itself only in very large manufacturing runs. We instead used a combination of CNC aluminum, optimized plastic design, and family molds (whose various parts each form a different aspect of a given product). We needed just 10 machine tools to produce the case, for an up-front investment of about $50,000. As we write this, we’ve shipped all of our standard laptop and desktop units to our crowdfunding campaign backers. We’ve marshaled nearly a thousand components from dozens of vendors, from Shenzhen, China, to Fremont, Calif. Thanks to the magic of crowdfunding and a slowdown of Moore’s Law, a two-person team was able to have the funds and the time to implement an everyday-use laptop. Furthermore, this laptop’s schematics, circuit board layouts, mechanical design files, kernel, drivers, and application programs are all open source and available for anyone to download. Such transparency is unprecedented. We hope it will encourage other engineers to follow in our footsteps and help users reclaim their technological independence. /This article originally appeared in print as “A Laptop With No Secrets.â€/ About the Author Andrew Huang andSean Cross are self-employed American computer scientists living in Singapore.Huang wrote on the death of Moore's Law for our April issue. -------------- próxima parte ---------- Saltou-se o conteúdo do tipo multipart/related From aife netvisao.pt Wed Oct 28 02:03:06 2015 From: aife netvisao.pt (=?UTF-8?B?QW5kcsOpIElzaWRvcm8gRmVybmFuZGVzIEVzdGV2ZXM=?=) Date: Wed Oct 28 02:03:38 2015 Subject: [ANSOL-geral] Esta gentinha...

Information about the suit is available on the FAQ page. The lawsuit continues to progress. VMware has filed a statement of defense, in which they assert arguments for the dismissal of the action. Christoph, with the assistance of his lawyer Till Jaeger, has filed his response to these arguments. Unfortunately, VMware has explicitly asked for the filings not to be published and, accordingly, Conservancy has not been able to review either document. With the guidance of counsel, Christoph was able to provide Conservancy with a high-level summary of the filings from which we are able to provide this update. VMware's statement of defense primarily focuses on two issues. First, VMware questions Christoph's copyright interest in the Linux kernel and his right to bring this action. Second, VMware claims vmklinux is an ?interoperability module? which communicates through a stable interface called VMK API. Christoph's response discusses his extensive contributions to the Linux kernel and disputes the technical merits of VMware's assertions. The response points out that vmklinux is not an interoperability module, but rather an arbitrary separation of the Linux derived module from vmkernel. Specifically, vmklinux is nonfunctional with any non-ESX OS, and vmklinux is tied intimately to a specific version of ESXi. Vmklinux does not allow reuse of unmodified Linux drivers in binary or source form. Christoph further points out that if the Court allows proprietarization of an arbitrary split portion of GPL'd computer programs, it could allow redistributors to trivially bypass the strong copyleft terms found in the GPL. Finally, the response explains that vmkernel and vmklinux don't ?communicate over an interface?, rather they run in the same process as a single computer program. Thus, VMK API, as used by vmklinux, is not an ?interface? as set forth in the EU Directive 2009/24/EC. To assist the public to easily verify these conclusions, Conservancy today makes available a git repository containing the publicly available VMware code. This Git repository contains an easier-to-browse version of VMware's incomplete source code releases. (Conservancy's FAQ about the lawsuit includes details on how to download this same software directly from VMware's site.) The case continues, and remains an extremely important matter of principle for software freedom. The court hearing has been set for the first quarter of 2016. Conservancy will continue to release information as we receive it. Please support this work and stand up for the GPL by becoming a Conservancy Supporter today.

It will require the removal of filters that prevent people from viewing online pornography, unless they have specifically ?opted in.? Part of the EU ruling designed to cut roaming charges across Europe, the legislation states internet firms must ?treat all traffic equally, without discrimination, restriction or interference? regardless of the ?content accessed or distributed?. It also says online companies cannot block access to specific content, although exceptions are made for illegal websites. Most Britons don't want David Cameron's porn filters British internet users reject porn filters EU announces crackdown on 'data roaming' costs The legislation places the control back with the individual browser, giving them the right to ?access and distribute information and content? via their internet access.?

Internet users were required to ?opt in? in order to view pornographic material or content showing gratuitous violence, otherwise such sites would be automatically blocked.

The meetup actually lasted an entire week, but I only attended Thursday, a day on which newly formed teams gathered to do some bonding and better understand each other's work. We talked about purpose and vision, as it was the first in-person meeting after a rather large re-organization that has been taking place over the last year or so. Greenpeace is striving toward a cultural shift. The organization is aware that it needs new strategies?new ways of being?to remain relevant and effective in the 21st century. And, I think open source principles offer Greenpeace those new strategies. I'm fascinated by what the open community takes for granted. Outside FOSS, free and open source software, the idea that work needs to have a solid foundation before being released is deeply seeded. But, in open source communities we say, "Release early, release often," a phrase I regularly substitute now for: "Throw it into the world as soon as you can formulate words around it." Heck, even if you aren't coherent, someone might still understand you. Go ahead and share! I won't lie: I've been afraid to share too early. I didn't publish a word of my first book until I'd written the whole thing. But when it comes to solving real world problems, I think the sooner you let other people in, the sooner you can start prototyping and trying and failing and learning and ultimately succeeding. (Read this Opensource.com article to go deeper into the why behind releasing early and often.) We've been conditioned to think that if you tell someone your idea, that person might steal it. We've all heard about big companies finding out about an idea and having more resources to build it better, faster. We've all heard the myth of the genius innovator who got shafted. We know it happened for real at least this one time. But this is the exception, not the rule. At least it is here in my world?in education, in social justice, in the nonprofit world, where we are working for the common good, we should be excited when someone "steals" our ideas. We should ask people to rip, read, remix everything we do, because if they do it likely means that they're also trying to make the world a better place. We've been taught that chaos will ensue if there are "too many cooks in the kitchen," but a strong moderator with an empathetic ear can help guide a group towards productive decision making. It's true that designing by committee can be tricky, but it is also probable that the committee as a collective has better ideas and solutions than the individual. In my experience, inviting people into a project strengthens bonds, thereby strengthening contributions, which leads to greater impact. Greenpeace is a huge organization. It wants to become more open, but has decades and decades of secrecy built into its utter being. When they say, "We're not ready to be open," what they mean is, "We don't know if this is going to work." I think they also mean "We don't know how this works." So I'm going to help them figure it out. Starting now(ish), I'll be helping Greenpeacers understand and use open practices top to bottom, left to right, in a mostly traditional workplace. I'm going to try to connect each and every Greenpeace community member (staff, former staff, volunteers, donors) and engage with them to unleash the power of their stories and their actions. An open organization encourages thought leadership and collaboration when it gives people the space they need to work on ideas without fear of failure. I'm going to help carve out that space and encourage Greenpeacers to use openness in support of their mission to conserve and protect the environment and to promote peace. I'm excited about my new role at Greenpeace for a bunch of reasons. Bringing open principles into this traditionally secretive organization is going to be challenging. But I like challenges. There will be plenty of engagement, teaching, and learning with more than 4,000 adults who work to make sure our Earth can support all forms of life. I'm particularly stoked to share what I know about openness, learning, and technology while also learning about subversive campaign tactics, non-violent action, the oceans, corporate responsibility, climate change, deforestation, and more. At Greenpeace I'll be living and teaching "openness," learning, learning, learning, fighting The Man, and sharing my journey. (Originally published at Zythepsary.

Se querem lutar o terrorismo que treinem mais cães para cheirar explosivos que é o que tem sido mais eficaz... http://roarmag.org/2015/10/dual-power-cyber-resistance/ Encrypted resistance: from digital security to dual power By Ben Case On October 25, 2015 Cyber-resistance is often viewed as a hacker thing ? but if embraced by mass movements it has great potential as a prefigurative liberation strategy. By J. Armstrong and Ben Case. Photomontage by yumikrum, via Flickr. ?It was a time when the unthinkable became the thinkable and the impossible really happened?? ? Arundhati Roy Digital technology is often seen as a curiosity in revolutionary politics, perhaps as a specialized skill set that is peripheral to the hard work of organizing. But the growing trend of ?cyber-resistance? might hold more potential than we have given it credit for. Specifically, the popularized use of encryption gives us the ability to form a type of liberated space within the shifting maze of cables and servers that make up the Internet. The ?web? is bound by the laws of math and physics before the laws of states, and in that cyberspace we may be able to birth a new revolutionary consciousness. The use of open source encryption allows for the oppressed to take control of the means of communication, encoding a worldwide liberated zone within the fiber of the Internet. Cyber-resistancei has been viewed (or ignored, or derided) as a hacker thing, something undertaken by those with science fiction equipment in their basement. But if it is embraced by mass movements, it has great potential as a prefigurative strategy for liberation. Prefiguration is vital for radical and progressive forces in the current moment. The building of prefigurative spaces ? spaces that model revolutionary values and resist state violence ? is crucial for successful movements from both the anarchist and Marxist traditions. As the old saying goes, revolutionary movements use prefiguration to plant the ?seed of the future society in the shell of the old.? Internet interactions are often juxtaposed with interpersonal interactions, so the idea that cyber-resistance could be prefigurative might seem counter-intuitive for a humanistic revolution. However, cyber-resistance might well hold the key to vibrant prefigurative struggle in the 21st century. Popularized in the 1970s and 80s, prefigurative political struggle has experienced an upsurge in the 21st century. It has been experimented with in the ?Arab Spring,? in the squares of Spain with the indignados, and in the Occupy movement, as activists seized public space and held it in common while building political consciousness and fighting for structural changes in the system at large (differences between and problems with these models notwithstanding). Prefigurative methods are also deployed by many left-wing armed forces. From the Zapatistas in Mexico to the Naxalites in India and the Kurdish militias in Syria and Turkey, building prefiguration into armed struggle has been effective for many groups facing intense repression. In fact, an argument for building cyber-resistance as a form of prefiguration for socio-political struggle can be found in an unlikely source: Maoist guerrilla warfare strategy. A Prefigurative Lesson from Guerrilla Warfare Many militant leftists have criticized certain attempts at prefiguration, often for good reasons. But the logic behind it ? that in order to build a revolutionary future we must practice a revolutionary present ? is essential for all liberation movements. And although it is less often emphasized, that logic has worked very well in modern guerrilla warfare. Many rebel forces have developed strategies of protracted popular armed struggle, but since the early 20th century this method has been primarily linked to the military strategy of Mao Zedong. The strategy of a ?protracted people?s war? was laid out in Mao?s famous guerrilla war manual, written in the context of Chinese resistance to Japanese occupation. While Mao himself certainly has a dubious legacy, the protracted people?s war strategy has been embraced by millions of people in the past century and has been used effectively to build revolutionary movements all over the world. When it is dissected into its strategic components, people?s war has a lot to teach us in our 21st-century moment. The strategy is composed of three overlapping phases. The first is ?strategic defensive,? where rebels establish base areas in remote regions. The second is ?strategic stalemate,? where the base areas are developed into a liberated zone. Finally, there is a ?strategic counter-offensive,? where insurgents engage and defeat the state in conventional warfare. For the first phase to begin at all, it is crucial that the base area be established in a secluded region with rugged terrain that is difficult for the state to access, since the rebel fighting force is not yet equipped to confront the enemy head on. Building has to begin in the state?s blind spots. Once an area is identified, insurgents focus on political education and grassroots organizing, providing medical care and other services to grow consciousness and mutual trust in order to develop the proverbial ?water? in which the revolutionary ?fish? will swim. In the second phase, as the insurgents become more entrenched, they gradually establish their own institutions and form a revolutionary government based on a combination of community traditions and communist ideology. As they gain legitimacy, rebel institutions such as schools, clinics and courts expand and interconnect to replace the state in rebel-controlled areas. This creates a ?counter-state? (or, arguably in more libertarian versions, an anti-state), called a liberated zone. The liberated zone is a contested, semi-sovereign area organized into associations that are characterized by radical values ? for example equity, minority ethnic rights, and feminism ? where people live the revolution and where the rebels can rest, organize, train and develop resources. In this way, people?s war can be seen as the construction of dual power, where the institutions of the state and the liberated zone coexist and compete for legitimacy. Today, many dual power strategists advocate the building of alternative institutions in the global ?center,? within the cracks and fissures of the existing state, as we simultaneously attack oppressive systems with social movement mobilization. However, this has proven difficult in many cases, as alternatives are vulnerable to state repression. What makes the prefiguration of people?s war so powerful is that it creates an area that the state cannot reach and in which alternatives can be safely constructed. Most Maoist insurgencies never succeeded in (or even entered) the third phase, but historically the people?s war strategy has been very successful in creating stalemates ? that is, in creating vibrant, stable, liberated zones. Politically, this has resulted either in a negotiated settlement with the government, as in El Salvador and Nepal, or intractable conflicts, as in India and the Philippines. The fact that Maoist guerrilla strategy thrives in the second phase is instructive. The brilliance of this strategy might be not in the war-making, but in the prefiguration-building. The strategy is effective in large part because it forcefully opens up social and psychological space to experiment with radical systems and to embody the revolution in practice. It opens up space not only to see a revolutionary world, but to touch it, to be it. It wins people with practice as much as with ideas. This element of Mao?s strategy demonstrated the power of prefiguration long before that term was coined or popularized. The Strategic Importance of Shadow The single most important environmental condition required for people?s war is the existence of remote areas where connections to the central state are weak. At early stages of struggle, these are the only areas that are eligible to build autonomous systems, since the presence of the state forecloses on many possibilities for alternative practices. Areas of operation must be out of the state?s sight in order for the revolutionaries to make alternatives visible to themselves and to the people. In other words, the state must be blind in order for the people to see one another as revolutionaries. There are few unseen regions left in the 21st century world, and fewer still in the Global North. In the US, there is hardly a nook or cranny that is not mapped by satellite or categorized by title law, instantly accessible by drone and wiretap. Proponents of dual power increasingly focus on creating prefigurative spaces, but they also tend to draw inspiration from armed struggles such as the Zapatistas in Chiapas or the Kurdish rebels in Rojava, which are taking place in areas that conform more closely to the formal liberated zone model. Of course, this is not to say we cannot learn a great deal from those fronts, nor is it to say allies should not support these crucial struggles in any way we can. But most organizing in the Global North takes place in cities, and the conditions in western Kurdistan and the mountains of southeast Mexico bear little resemblance to those in the urban United States or Europe. Not only is there a lack of secluded physical space in which to build a liberated zone, there is decreasing psychological space in which to build liberated minds. In the industrialized countries, modern state control has gone far beyond mapping physical space to mapping our very individualities. Today, their visibility extends beyond the physical. Mass Surveillance and Panoptical Control In order to assert their control, less developed state-forms used to publicly execute dissidents via torture or lock them in a dungeon and throw away the key (some still do). These practices obviously have devastating effects on the target individuals and their families, but the possibility of constant surveillance with the threat of punishment has a greater effect on a society?s behavior at large. Michel Foucault famously recognized Bentham?s ?perfect? prison, the panopticon, for its political implications in this regard. In contrast to dark, linear dungeons, Bentham conceived of a bright, open, circular prison, with a watchtower in the center and inward-facing cells around the periphery. Each cell would have a window to the outside that would back-light it, making the prisoner?s body visible to the tower. The tower, shaded by design angles, would be dark to all prisoners. The effect is simple: at all times a prisoner is aware they could be watched by the guards, but they will never be able to know for sure when. This hierarchical arrangement of bodies in space ? a few in the tower watching, many in the cells being watched ? carries with it a power dynamic that effectively modifies the behavior of everyone subject to it. In this arrangement, Foucault says, the prisoners, who are isolated and unable to communicate or act without being seen, begin to police themselves. The more the prisoners internalize this dynamic, the less actual force needs to be used to maintain order. In its extreme, the theory goes, an entire population of docile prisoners can be self-policed with no coercion whatsoever. Prisons around the world have since adopted aspects of this principle into their architectures. The unverifiable but assured possibility of surveillance represents the epitome of state control. In its most advanced form, those in power not only have a monopoly on the legitimate use of force; they come to never need to use it to maintain their legitimacy. Foucault acknowledged that panopticism was directly applicable only to populations small enough to be arranged within the prison architecture, but he believed its logic could be applied to society at large. Technology has evolved so that mass surveillance can psychologically take the place of the physical arrangement of bodies. Today the average American citizen spends over 11 hours a day engaging with electronic media. The public is increasingly reliant on the Internet, smartphones and social media for daily life, and we have become accustomed to omnipresent cameras, satellite photographs and wiretaps. In 2013, the NSA completed a facility in Bluffsdale, Utah where the agency can store 1,000 times the data of the entire Internet, a ?Yottabyte? of data. In order to fill this facility with information, the NSA is currently tapping most of the key fiber optic cables that make up the worldwide web and accessing the servers of all major Internet companies. Thanks to Edward Snowden, we now know just how comprehensively state security forces collect this data. This content and meta-data collection involves the capture and storage of all messages, with the goal being complete visibility of digital communications. Ultimately, the attempt is to tie all those communications to geo-location, physical data and relational meta-data; in other words, where you are, what you?re doing, and who you?re doing it with. Of course the NSA does not necessarily examine all of our digital conversations. But they could. And you have no idea if they are. You probably don?t really understand how they can, but you are vaguely aware that they can. It is a paralyzing feeling, and that is the essence of panoptical control. In an era of increasing global control, pushing back against oppressive systems and liberating physical territory to prefigure our own alternative institutions is increasingly necessary, but it is difficult in full sight of the state?s forces. Knowing we are being watched, we aren?t even aware of the degree to which we police ourselves into docility. In the context of the surveillance state, creating the space to discuss and plan and grow the struggle is a prerequisite. When state control is a spotlight, revolutionaries need to create shadows. Wikileaks, Encryption and Cypher-Shadows To date, Wikileaks has been the most effective group in casting an electronic shadow. The NSA documents leaked by Snowden show that as early as 2010, Julian Assange and the human network that supports Wikileaks were on the NSA ?manhunting? target list for extreme no-holds-barred surveillance. Even through this level of surveillance, Wikileaks has maintained their nine-year track record of never giving up a source. In 2015 alone, Wikileaks have published NSA intercepts, drafts of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, 600,000 cables from the Saudi embassy, and judicial gag orders ? without ever having been implicated in outing a source. Wikileaks accomplishes this by effectively creating a shadow that even the most sophisticated government eyes cannot see into, and they do this through the use of open source encryption technology. Most people already use encryption every day, and just not in their personal communications. Encryption is used in many common applications, from garage door openers to online money transfer sites, but the technology has been tightly controlled by the state, first through arms regulations and later through proprietary standards and funding restrictions. Encryption sounds fancy, but it really just means writing in code. Current encryption programs apply advanced mathematics to the basic process that all people engage in when creating languages or dialects. Most importantly, the best programs are free and anyone can do it. Current applications of this technology allow for any person with access to a computer to create encryption so advanced that it cannot be broken by all the computer power in the world. To quote Snowden: ?Encryption works. Properly implemented strong crypto-systems are one of the few things that you can rely on.? Due to its strategic importance, states have historically declared cryptographic skill and science to be theirs alone. But in 1991, as an act of resistance in support of anti-nuclear protesters, a coder named Phil Zimmerman released an open-source encryption program called PGP onto the Internet for free. When Snowden released the NSA?s own documents from 2012, they show that the agency is unable to break PGP (and other) open-source encryption even after more than 20 years. Proprietary software like Microsoft and Apple operating systems impose legal and technical prohibitions on users and engineers that prevent them from viewing the codes that make the computer programs run. Open-source software like Linux or Debian allows for software engineers and users to fully control all aspects of a computer system. Among other things, open-source programs mean transparent and verifiable software improvements. These improvements are not dependent on a closed group, which could be collaborating with, for example, the FBI or NSA. They are also free to use and distribute. Many countries, including the governments of Uruguay, Ecuador, and Brazil, are now running most of their information technology on open-source platforms. Open-source encryption programs allow for free access to ?end-to-end? encryption. These, as well as encrypted texting and talking phone apps like Signal and Redphone, are becoming more accessible and popular by the year. Free open-source programs ? like PGP, OTR, Tor, and Tails OS ? offer encrypted document creation, sharing and web research on any modern computer, and their use is increasing rapidly. The journalists working with Snowden have reconfirmed the security of these tools through action, as open-source encryption has allowed them to effectively hide the documents Snowden leaked to them from governments that desperately wanted to destroy them. Beyond the primary benefit of keeping organizing information hidden from authorities, using open-source encryption to ?shadow? our connections, our work and our transactions from the state may enable us to create a digital liberated zone on the Internet, a form that transcends physical geography. We can begin to create this by expanding our capacity and moving to make the use of these tools our default, first for radicals and progressive allies, then for communities and nations. A Call to Cryptographic Arms Discussion of encryption feels alienating to many folks. A lot of people think it is over their heads or they find the techno-babble obnoxious (the self-described hacktivist who once mansplained all this to you probably doesn?t help). Nevertheless, because the US and other governments are engaging in global mass surveillance, we find ourselves in a situation where encryption is necessary for the security of even basic organizing ? it is usually unwise to invite the police to action planning meetings. Beyond the security aspect, it holds massive potential. Global South activists in Afghanistan, Syria, Palestine, and elsewhere are now facing the full repressive capacity of imperial violence ? but some of those areas remain at least somewhat shrouded from mass surveillance technology. The US and other neo-imperialist governments are currently interested in popularizing use of the Internet and social media to areas of the Global South who have yet to ?go digital? to enable corporate profit in those untapped markets. In addition to the capitalist motive, the techno-colonial project would bring the entirety of the planet within view of imperial centers of control. This provides us with a window of opportunity where Global North governments are more engaged in expanding their digital empire and encouraging the Global South?s adoption of their technology than they are in unleashing the full arsenal of mass surveillance on their own populations. It is critical that we exponentially increase the use of encryption in both the Global North and Global South during this period. Growing the use of open source encryption could be the most powerful instrument in securing revolutionary potential for generations to come, as they can enable us to safely communicate across blocks and borders. The tools are already there; all it takes is our foresight, will and passion for freedom to make their use into a reality for all. Guerrilla liberated zones are highly effective in opening physical prefigurative space in an isolated area. At the same time, they are also limited by that isolation and by barriers to participation in guerrilla war. Cyber-resistance does not offer the physical space that liberated zones do, but digital liberated zones are not constrained by geography or borders, and the barriers to use of encryption are surprisingly low. The combination of encryption basics with open-source hardware (and perhaps cryptographic currency, like Bitcoin-based Freicoin) has the potential to grow into a network of direct working-class control of the means of communication, production and exchange on a global scale. This network can be used as a weapon to create a sort of liberated e-zone that is beyond state control despite being physically located within oppressive states. The more resistance is hidden from the state, the more imperialism must rely on its most base method of control: coercive force. Though it is the state?s foundational tool, the naked use of violence erodes the state?s legitimacy. As the state must increasingly rely on its most violent capacity for control, online liberated zones could facilitate both the desire and capacity for resistance. Human surveillance and infiltration such as the use of informants and agent saboteurs can be highly destructive for individuals and movement groups, but nowadays even these rely heavily on digital information gathering. As the state becomes blinder, it increasingly becomes more desperate. And when it gets desperate, its moves tend to backfire. Meanwhile, as our vision brightens, so does our spirit. Through cyber-resistance we can strengthen existing liberated zones and prefigure new ones, growing revolutionary values and practice even inside the cities of the attempted panopticon. Our secure communications, leaks and skill-shares could eventually create a chain reaction of interconnected revolutionary upsurges on the scale of the ?Arab Spring? of 2011. But instead of being based in popular control of public space alone, they will now also be prefigured in the collective control of a truly liberated space, from the means of communication to the totality of society. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: i A note on terminology: While we say cyber-resistance here, more accurately we are talking about cypher-resistance. Cyber refers to anything digital, while cypher is a process that can encode any language, encryption is a general term for that process, and cryptography is the scientific study of the two. Sometimes the root crypto is used to modify other words as well, such as ?crypto-currency.?

Stefano.desabbata UK police are lobbying the government to be given access to every UK Internet user's Web browsing history as part of the new Snooper's Charter—the Investigatory Powers Bill—which is expected to be published next week. According to/The Guardian/, the police want to revive the controversial plan for ISPs to store details aboutevery website visited by customers for 12 months , an idea first mooted in the originalCommunications Data Bill , which was dropped after opposition from the Liberal Democrats when they were part of the previous coalition government. Richard Berry, the National Police Chiefs’ Council spokesman for data communications, is quoted as saying: "We essentially need the ‘who, where, when and what’ of any communication"—who initiated it, where were they and when did it happened. And a little bit of the ‘what’, were they on Facebook, or a banking site, or an illegal child-abuse image-sharing website?" FURTHER READING UK GOVERNMENT: WE DON’T WANT BACKDOORS, JUST ACCESS TO ALL COMMUNICATIONS Edward Snowden takes to Twitter to mock UK's contradictory statements. According to/The Guardian/, Berry accepted that it was "far too intrusive" for police to be able to access the content of online searches and social media messaging without additional controls—for example, by requiring a warrant signed by a judge. One of the problems with the idea of allowing police access to somebody's Web browsing history for the previous year is that, taken in aggregate, that information gives a very detailed picture of a person's life, and is thus just as intrusive as viewing online searches or social media messages. Another issue is that it is easy to circumvent this kind of snooping by usingTor or a VPN, both of which would obfuscate your behaviour enough that your ISP can't track you. The move by the police seems to be part of a larger campaign by the UK's security apparatus to push for thelong-expected Investigatory Powers Bill to grant them as many new powers as possible. As Ars reported yesterday, both GCHQ and MI5 have been making the case forincreased online surveillance , which they like to frame as "merely" retaining capabilities they enjoyed when communications were analogue. Although it is true that the fraction of messages that they can track has gone down in recent years, this overlooks the fact that the overall volume of communications has gone up even more substantially, which outweighs any percentage loss. -------------- próxima parte ---------- Saltou-se o conteúdo do tipo multipart/related From aife netvisao.pt Fri Oct 30 11:33:32 2015 From: aife netvisao.pt (=?UTF-8?B?QW5kcsOpIElzaWRvcm8gRmVybmFuZGVzIEVzdGV2ZXM=?=) Date: Fri Oct 30 11:33:38 2015 Subject: [ANSOL-geral] =?utf-8?q?=E2=80=8BThe_Wily_Werewolf=2C_Ubuntu_15?= =?utf-8?q?=2E10=2C_is_unleashed?= Message-ID: <5633558C.7040309@netvisao.pt> http://www.zdnet.com/article/the-wily-werewolf-ubuntu-15-10-is-unleashed/ Ubuntu is already the dominant cloud operating system. With the release of Ubuntu 15.10, Wily Werewolf, Canonical's Ubuntu is ready to take an even bigger bite. ? Canonical's new Ubuntu release, Wily Werewolf, is ready to snap up your cloud and server work. First, Canonical has bundled its new Ubuntu OpenStack cloud deployer and management tool: OpenStack Autopilot with this release. OpenStack is not easy to install. Companies such as Mirantis and Red Hat have also worked hard on making it simple to install the popular open-source cloud. While Autopilot runs side by side with Ubuntu 15.10, it deploys, manages and scales Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu OpenStack Kilo. It has been designed to fully support in-place upgrades between releases. "One of the biggest issues organisations using OpenStack face is how to scale their clouds in line with expansion without having to employ expensive cloud architects to manually re-design them. Autopilot offers enterprises a smart, way to scale their cloud technically and financially," said Shawn Madden, Autopilot Product Manager at Canonical in a statement. "We have built Autopilot to deliver superior scale and economics in a simple to use package." If your company does have OpenStack expertise, then you might want to try Ubuntu 15.04's built-in OpenStack: the brand-new OpenStack distribution Liberty. This cloud distribution has three key themes of Manageability, Scalability and Extensibility: Manageability Common library adoption Improved configuration management More granular Neutron security settings with role-based access control (RBAC) support Scalability Initial version of Nova Cells V2 implementation to improve of single region large scale OpenStack clouds Neutron, Nova and Cinder scale improvements Extensibility Support for OpenStack as the integration engine with 'Big tent' model of ancillary project identification Support for containers with debut of LXD Nova driver to enable workloads to be deployed as LXC containers First release of Magnum with container framework support for integration of Kubernetes, Swarm and Mesos. OpenStack Liberty is also available for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS via the Ubuntu Cloud Archive. On the server side, LXD, Ubuntu's machine container hypervisor, is now included in Ubuntu by default. With it, Ubuntu servers can easily host hundreds of other Linux guest containers. ?What's the best cloud storage for you? Software Licensing got you down? Get your SaaS in gear and go cloud According to Canonical, "LXD provides all of the key features expected of a modern hypervisor -- image management, snapshots, live migration, Fan overlay networking, IPv4 and IPv6 support, and an industry leading security profile." In addition to these features, LXD also provides an open, RESTful API. This can be used to create tools that can start, stop, clone, and live migrate LXD containers. The RESTful API is still beta. The first example, a OpenStack nova-compute-lxd driver, is now available as a Tech Preview in Ubuntu OpenStack Liberty. This release also includes an improved version of the Ubuntu's Metal as a Service (MaaS) platform. This can be used to install Linux or Windows operating system onto physical hardware. In 15.10, MaaS's web interface has been redesigned, and can be used on both PCs and mobile devices.. The Wiley Werewolf server is built on the v4.2 Linux kernel. This kernel brings Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) support for ARM processors, Linux Security Module (LCM) Stacking, and the new thermal Power Allocator governor to Ubuntu. On top of this Canonical has added fan networking for container network address space expansion. As an experiment, the Werewolf also introduces a Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) faster packet processing in network-heavy applications. DPDK is a set of libraries and drivers for fast packet processing. It's currently being tested and deployed by telecoms companies in high-volume OpenStack deployments. The Ubuntu desktop may get the attention, but with these advances, chances are you're more likely to use Ubuntu, hidden behind the scenes, on clouds and servers. This wolf is on the prowl.

Following Tuesday's (October 27) European Parliament vote, Höttges said Telekom will demand startups pay a share of their revenue to get good internet service. Höttges said telecoms will benefit from the new law, which allows better internet quality for specialised services. According to Höttges, small startups need those services too?but they'll have to pay a fee for them. ?There needs to be the option of giving priority to data associated with sensitive services if the network is congested,? Höttges said. ?Developing innovative internet services with high standards of quality will continue to be possible.? Management of network congestion is another hot button issue that critics of the net neutrality bill said could be misused. Some critics argued that telecoms would potentially have free rein to step in and control internet speed at will. Negotiations between the European Parliament, Commission and Council over net neutrality were often heated and yielded a final compromise only after a marathon meeting that ended in the early morning on 30 June. Critics said the outcome of negotiations was a watered down deal that would still allow telecoms operators to offer internet service at different speeds. Specialised services are at the centre of campaigners' concerns. EU Digital Commissioner Günther Oettinger has pointed to examples e-health and connected cars as services that could be accessed with priority speed internet. Campaigners say that doesn't do enough to clear up the murky definition of specialised services that's written into the law. >>Read: Parliament green lights roaming and net neutrality Höttges' statement on Wednesday (28 October) is a first glimpse of how major telecoms may interpret those services. He sparked controversy by claiming that specialised services would give a boost to startup businesses. ?Start-ups need special services more than anyone in order to have a chance of keeping up with large internet providers,? he argued. ?If they want to bring services to market which require guaranteed good transmission quality, it is precisely these companies that need special services. By our reckoning, they would pay a couple of percent for this in the form of revenue-sharing,? Höttges added. Simon Schaefer, a private startup investor and founder of Berlin's tech hub Factory, called Höttges' claim ?ludicrous?. ?They're creating a toll on anybody that doesn't have the liquidity to finance whatever price they come up with,? Schaefer told EurActiv. Startups are overall less likely to be able to afford premium service, according to Schaefer. Particularly smaller companies that create online games or videos would be disadvantaged, since they need a lot of bandwidth and don't have the finances to compete with giants like Youtube for better service. Schaefer said the overarching issue is that there is no understanding of specialised services carved out in the new net neutrality law, which is part of the broader telecoms single market legislation and also includes provisions to drop mobile roaming charges within Europe by 2017. ?The lack of definition is being used now by Mr Höttges. He's making a lack of definition into a business model,? Schaefer said. Allied for Startups, a group that advocates on behalf of startups, signed a letter to MEPs before Tuesday's vote on the bill to urge them to approve amendments that would have dealt a blow to measures allowing specialised services. The amendments were rejected. Factory, Rome startup association Roma Startup, and several dozen other tech companies also signed the letter. Vodafone Germany has already signalled its agreement with Höttges. ?There isn't even a one-class internet today,? the company told Spiegel Online yesterday. Large telecoms companies have been resistant to net neutrality legislation and clung to controversial provisions allowing specialised services and zero rating, which allows providers to offer certain apps or services for free as part of their packages. European telecoms association ETNO said in a statement following the Parliament vote that services such as connected cars and e-health require ?network management as well as differentiation of services".

The president of the Open Source Initiative, Allison Randal, participated as a co-author in the drafting of the principles, together with the leadership of FSF and Conservancy. The Open Source Initiative's mission centers on advocating for and supporting efforts to improve community best practices, in order to promote and protect open source (founded on the principles of free software). While the OSI's work doesn't include legal enforcement actions for the GPL or any of the family of licenses that conform to the Open Source Definition, we applaud these principles set forth by the FSF and Conservancy, clearly defining community best practices around GPL enforcement. The vast majority of users, modifiers, and redistributors of free software and open source comply with the licenses of the software they consume, a task that has been greatly simplified in recent years thanks to the wide availability of tools and data resources to help with compliance, available under free software, open source, and open content licenses. Compliance failures that do occur are frequently honest mistakes, which can be repaired with some gentle guidance and an offer of education. Litigation around free software and open source license compliance is very rare, as it should be. But sometimes, litigation is necessary to protect free software and open source, not only for the benefit of current users, but also to support our communities in their chosen means and mode of collaboration, and for the long-term preservation of our principles in legal systems around the world. When GPL enforcement (or any free software and open source license enforcement) is done in a way that isn't community-oriented, that action can be actively harmful to freedom-focused communities, and to the relationship of trust between our projects and their individual, organizational, and corporate users. That relationship of trust is absolutely essential to the success of free software and open source. Clearly defining the principles of community-oriented GPL enforcement, and what redistributors can expect if they are contacted by one of these organizations about a potential GPL violation, is an important step of progress in community best practices, and helps make it clear that free software and open source is the safest choice for collaborative software development. This statement of principles for GPL enforcement is also a valuable example of the kind of principles that should apply in community-oriented enforcement activity across the entire family of free software and open source licenses, with some variation in detail for the specific terms of other copyleft licenses and permissive licenses. For more information, see FSF's announcement and Conservancy's announcement. A copy of the principles document will be hosted both on Conservancy's website and on FSF's website.

O que =?utf-8?q?t=C3=AAm_em_comum=3F?= Message-ID: <56350CD4.3020906@netvisao.pt> A opinião de Nadim Kobeissi https://opendemocracy.net/wfd/nadim-kobeissi/volkswagens-lesson-on-encryption-software?utm_content=bufferc13bb&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer https://nadim.computer/2015/09/25/volkswagen-backdoor.html ----------- The story of Volkswagen rigging cars with custom software to fool regulators testing for harmful emissions has been all over the news, and with good reason. Quoting Jim Dwyer from the New York Times: The cars? software turned on the pollution-control equipment only during inspections [?] The software could silently deduce that an inspection was taking place based on the position of the steering wheel (cars hooked up to emissions meters don?t make turns) [?] When the test was done and the car was on the road, the pollution controls shut off automatically, apparently giving the car more pep, better fuel mileage or both, but letting it spew up to 35 times the legal limit of nitrogen oxide. This is huge. Volkswagen is the world?s second-largest car manufacturer. Their admission to rigging accusations didn?t come easy ? it followed months of denial after finally coinciding with the resignation of Volkswagen?s CEO. Let me repeat this: the world?s second-largest car manufacturer used custom software in order to effectively give their cars A.I. that can trick regulators into allowing cars that emit thirty-five times the limit of nitrogen oxide. This story is like some sort of weird reversal of another debate we?re having involving software and regulators; that of encryption backdoors, smartphone security, messaging security and so on. In the smartphone encryption scenario, we?ve seen regulators asking the industry for backdoors as a matter of regulatory necessity, while in the Volkswagen case regulators were accusing the industry of exploiting the same backdoor logic to fool regulations! The role-reversal that?s going on, with regulators suddenly being on the receiving end of hidden backdoors and in turn being deceived by their supposed guarantees, is additional, easy and stark proof that shipping any system that?s closed against inspection, or that implements special access controls, just doesn?t work when you?re trying to use it to reach sophisticated guarantees[1]. From cars that emit thirty-five times the amount of poison gas they?re supposed to, to elevators that unexpectedly drop three stories due to a programming error, to smartphone encryption that equips law enforcement with a master decryption key ? modern industry keeps proving time and time again that such designs go against fundamental laws of engineering that one simply cannot circumvent in good practice. A Volkswagen backdoor in a messaging client Let?s recap how Volkswagen?s backdoor worked so that we can see how that exact same logic could be easily transposed into backdooring a supposedly secure mail application[2]. Volkswagen cars came with software that can figure out when the car was being tested for polluting emissions. The software figured this out based on the car?s steering activity, engine running time and barometric pressure, among other factors. Volkswagen programmed the cars so that they would enable their anti-pollution controls only when the car realized it was being tested for pollution emissions. Otherwise, the car would disable these controls so that it can achieve better performance and make the driver happier with their purchase. Volkswagen made sure that this special software is well-hidden and that regulators can?t inspect it, making this backdoor difficult to detect. Sound familiar yet? Here?s that exact same logic transposed into a hypothetical backdoor for encrypted communications on your smartphone: Your smartphone comes with a messaging client that can figure out, based on a list of suspicious phone numbers that it secretly regularly fetches, whether you are communicating with a suspicious third party. Your smartphone is also able to detect when a forensics expert is running tests on it.[3] Your smartphone is then programmed to enable your encryption and privacy settings only when you?re messaging someone who?s not on that list of suspicious numbers. Otherwise, message encryption is disabled. If the software detects that a researcher is testing your smartphone for encryption compliance, it still encrypts your messages but generates your new key material using a malicious random number generator in order to insert a surreptitious backdoor anyway. Your smartphone manufacturer makes sure that this special software is well-hidden and that researchers can?t inspect it, making this backdoor difficult to detect. The parallels are very real; what makes them real is not only that they sound and work the same, it?s that both of them actually happened. The backdoored random number generator in my example isn?t fiction, but is drawn word for word from a recent NIST-approved cryptographic standard. Meanwhile, almost all of China?s most popular messaging applications will trigger censorship and surveillance automatically if you send messages containing certain keywords. The reason why it?s critical to build software so that it can always be inspected, especially software running things we bet our lives on like our cars and sometimes our phones, is because otherwise, this simple snippet of code is all it could take to break any and all guarantees, if you could never examine it: if (isInBlacklist(phoneNumber) || forensicsDetected()) { const ephPrivKey = DUAL_EC(32) } else { const ephPrivKey = DevUrandom(32) } const ephPubKey = DH25519(g, ephPrivKey) sendEncryptedMessage([msg, ephPrivKey, ephPubKey], phoneNumber) That piece of code is fully realistically possible; if I was confident you couldn?t inspect my software?s code, it?s all I would need to insert into a messaging application. If I obfuscated it just a little bit before inserting it, I?m willing to bet it would avoid detection for a fairly long time. We already have research proving that we can use compound Poisson distributions to estimate how long it will take before a software will show bugs; why not use statistics to reliably estimate how long before a backdoor, disguised as a bug, will pop out? I feel like it?s pointless to buttress this post with examples.[4] TSA-compliant luggage padlocks, which are supposed to keep your luggage safe from strangers but accessible to airport security regulators, recently had their blueprints leaked allowing anyone with a 3D printer to print master keys and unlock everyone?s luggage. A recent publication showed that for three years, a Korean government-mandated smartphone monitoring application was shown by Collin Anderson et al to be vulnerable to mass compromise. The application, intended for parental monitoring, ended up leaking children?s personal information to everyone in their wireless vicinity. This is seriously getting old. Volkswagen?s emissions fraud was only possible because they had a way to ship safety-critical software that was impervious to inspection. Regulators were the ones on the receiving end this time, and they felt the sting. It doesn?t make sense, in light of such a universal set of examples, to still think that opposing backdoors is unreasonable or paranoid. National security can be your top priority, sure ? but you can?t insist on obtaining it using methods that just aren?t working for any single industry. [1] Especially when those guarantees are meant for a general public. [2] This same backdoor logic is already on the table in some law enforcement circles. [3] If you think detecting a forensics expert is hard, look into machine learning. [4] I could write a random backdoor-gone-wrong generator and it would generate examples that actually happened probably half of the time.

It turns out he thinks the private sector is too selfish and inept to tackle the dire climate change situation, and relying on it would be courting disaster. Better to take a quasi socialist approach and remove the profit motive altogether from this important work. In a wide-ranging interview withThe Atlantic recently, Gates tacked pretty hard to the left. “There’s no fortune to be made,†he said, when it comes to developing clean energy sources and mitigating climate change. Besides, he pointed out, “the private sector is in general inept. How many companies do venture capitalists invest in that go poorly? By far most of them.†The tech magnate, who has pledged $2 billion of his own money for R&D (which seems like a lot until you consider that he is worth $79.2 billion, according to Forbes), said he was pleasantly surprised when he dug into the history of government research into big scientific questions. “Since World War II, U.S.-government R&D has defined the state of the art in almost every area,†Gates told the Atlantic. “When I first got into this I thought, ‘How well does the Department of Energy spend its R&D budget?’ And I was worried: ‘Gosh, if I’m going to be saying it should double its budget, if it turns out it’s not very well spent, how am I going to feel about that? But as I’ve really dug into it, the DARPA money is very well spent, and the basic-science money is very well spent. The government has these ‘Centers of Excellence.’ They should have twice as many of those things, and those things should get about four times as much money as they do.†Gates is doing a solo world tour to convince the world’s richest nations to commit to innovating their way out of catastrophic climate change, a tall order. Germany and China are already pointing the way to green energy with some of their socialist policies. Germany has generated as much as 78 percent of its electricity through renewable sources, and regularly generates about 30 percent, twice what the U.S. does. China’s $80 billion green energy investment dwarfs that of both the U.S. and Europe. “I would love to see a tripling, to $18 billion a year from the U.S. government to fund basic research alone,†Gates said. “Now, as a percentage of the government budget, that’s not gigantic… This is not an unachievable amount of money.†Still, given the current make-up of the U.S. Congress, and its funding from the climate-change denying Koch brothers, Gates will likely face his hardest fight right here at home. -------------- próxima parte ---------- Um anexo em HTML foi limpo...
