Blockchain Smart Cities Rating — From Melaka Straits City to Crypto Project in Nevada DesertThe agiotage around blockchain technology has reduced dramatically. But now it’s time for technology adoption in real life. Imagine a city, where payments for goods and services, data exchange between municipal institutions, work of transport and infrastructure projects — almost everything in based on blockchain technology. You think such kind of mass adoption looks like a fairy tale? But this is actually a reality or something that will be a reality in the very near future.I decided to create a short list of the most promising smart city projects based on blockchain, which are already running or are about to be launched. The list includes those projects that are not just developing a technological (...)

Burning Man : au commencement étaient les makers : Makery
▻http://www.makery.info/2016/08/30/burning-man-au-commencement-etaient-les-makers
Les deux communautés ont en effet bien des choses en commun : nées dans la baie de San Francisco, les deux composent une communauté technophile et sont attirées par le recyclage, les énergies propres et l’apprentissage collaboratif et le do it together.
[…]
« Burning Man est devenu un endroit incroyablement riche pour le réseautage sur les thèmes de l’art et des makers, pour tester des projets en béta dans un environnement sans merci, pour permettre aux techno-fétichistes de créer des liens en faisant la fête. Et, tout aussi important, le “comment font-ils ça ?” se change très rapidement en “je peux le faire aussi”. Ce qui, vraiment, résume le mouvement maker. »

  I wanted to go to Burning Man because I saw the huge festival in the Nevada desert as the epicentre of the three things that most interested me in 2013: sexual experimentation, psychedelic drugs and futurism. But everyone said Burning Man was over, that it was spoiled. The event, which requires those who attend to bring their own food, water and shelter and dispose of their own trash, was overrun with rich tech people who defied the festival’s precious tenet of radical self-reliance with their over-reliance on paid staff. Burning Man, which started in 1986 when twenty people burned an effigy on a beach, was turning into a dusty version of Davos. Old-timers lamented the rise of ‘plug and play’ culture. There were too many LEDs now, too many caravans, too many generators, tech executives, and too much electronic dance music. There were TED talks. There were technolibertarians. You couldn’t see the stars.

Former Drone Operators Reveal Air Force Plays Key Role in Secret CIA Assassination Campaign | Democracy Now!
►http://www.democracynow.org/2014/4/17/former_drone_operators_reveal_air_force
A new documentary film reveals how a regular U.S. Air Force unit based in the Nevada desert is responsible for flying the CIA’s drone strike program in Pakistan. “Drone” identifies the unit conducting CIA strikes in Pakistan’s tribal areas as the 17th Reconnaissance Squadron, which is located on the Creech Air Force Base, about 45 miles from Las Vegas. We are joined by the film’s director, Tonje Hessen Schei, and Chris Woods, an award-winning reporter who investigates drone warfare. Woods is featured in “Drone” and is working on a forthcoming book on U.S. drone warfare.
