La Ville de Berne lance « Parklets », un projet pour réduire le trafic motorisé au centre-ville. Durant deux mois, elle va supprimer des places de stationnement pour les transformer en un lieu de rencontre dans l’espace public.
Pour le moment, le projet de « Parklets » englobe sept places de stationnement. Ils accueilleront des tables, des parasols et du mobilier en bois pour s’asseoir. Les autorités communales excluent en revanche toute exploitation commerciale de ces zones.
Ce système qui offre une structure modulaire dans la rue, à côté du trottoir, est originaire de San Francisco. Il a depuis conquis de nombreuses villes. Berne fait office de pionnier en Suisse, s’est félicitée vendredi la conseillère municipale socialiste Ursula Wyss.

1933 Article on Frida Kahlo: “Wife of the Master Mural Painter Gleefully Dabbles in Works of Art” | Open Culture

And yet, far from the Keane’s San Francisco, and perhaps as far as a person can get from Margaret’s frustrated acquiescence, we have Frida Kahlo creating a body of work that would eventually overshadow her husband’s, muralist Diego Rivera. Unlike Walter Keane, Rivera was a very good painter who did not attempt to overshadow his wife. Instead of professional jealousy, he had plenty of the personal variety. Even so, Rivera encouraged Kahlo’s career and recognized her formidable talent, and she, in turn, supported him. In 1933, when Florence Davies---whom Kahlo biographer Gerry Souter describes as “a local news hen”---caught up with her in Detroit, Kahlo “played the cheeky, but adoring wife” of Diego while he labored to finish his famous Detroit mural project.

No Women Need Apply : A Disheartening 1938 Rejection Letter from Disney Animation | Open Culture
▻http://www.openculture.com/2013/04/no_women_need_apply_a_disheartening_1938_rejection_letter_from_disney_a
Put yourself in the mind of an artistic young woman who goes to see Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs when it first opens in 1937. Captivated by the film’s groundbreaking cel-based cinematic animation, understanding that it represents the future of the art form, you feel you should pursue a career with a studio yourself. Alas, in response to the letter of inquiry you send Disney’s way, you receive the terse rejection letter above. “Women do not do any of the creative work in connection with preparing the cartoons for the screen,” it flatly states, “as that work is performed entirely by young men. For this reason girls are not considered for the training school.” Your only remaining hope? To aim lower on the totem pole and become an “Inker” or “Painter,” but “it would not be advisable to come to Hollywood with the above specifically in view, as there are really very few openings in comparison with the number of girls who apply.”

“The Hatpin Peril” Terrorized Men Who Couldn’t Handle the 20th-Century Woman
To protect themselves from unwanted advances, city women protected themselves with some sharp accessories
:focal(659x591:660x592)/https://public-media.smithsonianmag.com/filer/30/00/3000fb4f-9e78-4fe8-b571-8a01d482e51c/hatpinperilcropped.jpeg)
On the afternoon of May 28, 1903, Leoti Blaker, a young Kansan touring New York City, boarded a Fifth Avenue stagecoach at 23rd Street and settled in for the ride. The coach was crowded, and when it jostled she noticed that the man next to her settled himself an inch closer to her. She made a silent assessment: elderly, elegantly dressed, “benevolent-looking.” The horse picked up speed and the stage jumped, tossing the passengers at one another again, and now the man was touching her, hip to hip, shoulder to shoulder. When he lifted his arm and draped it low across her back, Leoti had enough. In a move that would thrill victim of modern-day subway harassment, she reached for her hatpin—nearly a foot long—and plunged it into the meat of the man’s arm. He let out a terrible scream and left the coach at the next stop.
“He was such a nice-looking old gentleman I was sorry to hurt him,” she told the New York World. “I’ve heard about Broadway mashers and ‘L’ mashers, but I didn’t know Fifth Avenue had a particular brand of its own…. If New York women will tolerate mashing, Kansas girls will not.”
Newspapers across the country began reporting similar encounters with “mashers,” period slang for lecherous or predatory men (defined more delicately in Theodore Dreiser’s Sister Carrie as “one whose dress or manners are calculated to elicit the admiration of susceptible young women”). A New York City housewife fended off a man who brushed up against her on a crowded Columbus Avenue streetcar and asked if he might “see her home.” A Chicago showgirl, bothered by a masher’s “insulting questions,” beat him in the face with her umbrella until he staggered away. A St. Louis schoolteacher drove her would-be attacker away by slashing his face with her hatpin. Such stories were notable not only for their frequency but also for their laudatory tone; for the first time, women who fought back against harassers were regarded as heroes rather than comic characters, as subjects rather than objects. Society was transitioning, slowly but surely, from expecting and advocating female dependence on men to recognizing their desire and ability to defend themselves.
Hatpin-defence.jpeg
(San Francisco Sunday Call, 1904)
Working women and suffragists seized control of the conversation, speaking out against mashers and extolling women’s right to move freely—and alone—in public. It was true, as social worker Jane Addams lamented, that “never before in civilization have such numbers of young girls been suddenly released from the protection of the home and permitted to walk unattended upon city streets and to work under alien roofs.” Dating rituals and sexual mores were shifting. A man no longer called at a woman’s parlor and courted her under the close eye of her parents, but took her to a show or a dance hall, where all manner of evil lurked. The suffragists rejected the notion, advanced by the Chicago Vice Commission, that unchaperoned women should dress as modestly as possible—no painted cheeks or glimpse of ankle—in order to avoid unwanted attention. The issue lay not with women’s fashion or increasing freedoms, one suffragist countered, but with “the vileness of the ‘masher’ mind.”
Instead of arguing with the suffragists, some detractors took a more subtle approach, objecting not to women’s changing roles but to their preferred mode of self-defense: the hatpin. Tales abounded of innocent men—no mashers, they—who fell victim to the “hatpin peril.” A 19-year-old girl in Scranton playfully thrust her hatpin at her boyfriend and fatally pierced his heart. A young New York streetcar passenger felt a sharp pain behind his ear—an accidental prick from a stranger’s hatpin—and within a week fell into a coma and died. Also in New York, a hundred female factory workers, all wielding hatpins, attacked police officers who arrested two of their comrades for making allegedly anarchistic speeches. Even other women weren’t safe. In a suburb of Chicago, a woman and her husband’s mistress drew hatpins and circled each other, duel-style, until policemen broke it up. “We look for the new and imported Colt’s hatpin,” one newspaper sarcastically opined, “or the Smith and Wesson Quick-action Pin.” By 1909, the hatpin was considered an international threat, with the police chiefs in Hamburg and Paris considering measures to regulate their length.
In March 1910, Chicago’s city council ran with that idea, debating an ordinance that would ban hatpins longer than nine inches; any woman caught in violation would be arrested and fined $50. The proceedings were packed with curious spectators, men and women, and acrimonious from the start. “If women care to wear carrots and roosters on their heads, that is a matter for their own concern, but when it comes to wearing swords they must be stopped,” a supporter said. Cries of “Bravo!” from the men; hisses from the women. Nan Davis, there to represent several women’s clubs, asked for permission to address the committee. “If the men of Chicago want to take the hatpins away from us, let them make the streets safe,” she said. “No man has a right to tell me how I shall dress and what I shall wear.”
Despite Davis’ impassioned speech, the ordinance passed by a vote of 68 to 2. Similar laws subsequently passed in several other cities, including Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, Baltimore and New Orleans. Ten thousand miles away, in Sydney, Australia, sixty women went to jail rather than pay fines for wearing “murderous weapons” in their hats. Even conservative London ladies steadfastly refused to buy hatpin point protectors.
“This is but another argument for votes for women and another painful illustration of the fact that men cannot discipline women,” argued the suffragist Harriot Stanton Blatch, a daughter of Elizabeth Cady Stanton. “Women need discipline; they need to be forced, if not led, out of their barbarisms, but women never have and never will submit to the discipline of men. Give women political power and the best among them will gradually train the uncivilized, just as the best among men have trained their sex.”
The furor over hatpins subsided at the onset of World War I, and died entirely when bobbed hair and cloche hats came into fashion—at which point emerged a new “social menace”: the flapper. It wouldn’t be long, of course, before politicians grew less concerned with what women wore than with how to win their votes.

Security Tokens — a Win for #ethereum and #stellar?

San Francisco, CAAugust 6th, 2018I most recently came across the above Reddit post inquiring about EOS Security Token offerings.When prominent companies such as Science #blockchain (SCI) and SPIN (PIN) have decided to conduct ERC-20 security token offerings, it begs us to ask the question — why have other ecosystems neglected to market toward security token offerings to STO on their public blockchains? Other public blockchains that are now also bullish on the security token space include Stellar, which Sharespost GLASS partnered with last week — more on that here.My assumption is that the more conservative crowd that security token offerings would market to will likely prefer the most popular ERC-20 standard when first “dipping their toes” in and deciding on their first couple of investments to (...)
#Google_Maps Says ‘the East Cut’ Is a Real Place. Locals Aren’t So Sure.
For decades, the district south of downtown and alongside #San_Francisco Bay here was known as either #Rincon_Hill, #South_Beach or #South_of_Market. This spring, it was suddenly rebranded on Google Maps to a name few had heard: the #East_Cut.
The peculiar moniker immediately spread digitally, from hotel sites to dating apps to Uber, which all use Google’s map data. The name soon spilled over into the physical world, too. Real-estate listings beckoned prospective tenants to the East Cut. And news organizations referred to the vicinity by that term.
“It’s degrading to the reputation of our area,” said Tad Bogdan, who has lived in the neighborhood for 14 years. In a survey of 271 neighbors that he organized recently, he said, 90 percent disliked the name.
The swift rebranding of the roughly 170-year-old district is just one example of how Google Maps has now become the primary arbiter of place names. With decisions made by a few Google cartographers, the identity of a city, town or neighborhood can be reshaped, illustrating the outsize influence that Silicon Valley increasingly has in the real world.
The #Detroit neighborhood now regularly called #Fishkorn (pronounced FISH-korn), but previously known as #Fiskhorn (pronounced FISK-horn)? That was because of Google Maps. #Midtown_South_Central in #Manhattan? That was also given life by Google Maps.
Yet how Google arrives at its names in maps is often mysterious. The company declined to detail how some place names came about, though some appear to have resulted from mistakes by researchers, rebrandings by real estate agents — or just outright fiction.
In #Los_Angeles, Jeffrey Schneider, a longtime architect in the #Silver_Lake_area, said he recently began calling the hill he lived on #Silver_Lake_Heights in ads for his rental apartment downstairs, partly as a joke. Last year, Silver Lake Heights also appeared on Google Maps.
“Now for every real-estate listing in this neighborhood, they refer to it,” he said. “You see a name like that on a map and you believe it.”
Before the internet era, neighborhood names developed via word of mouth, newspaper articles and physical maps that were released periodically. But Google Maps, which debuted in 2005, is updated continuously and delivered to more than one billion people on their devices. Google also feeds map data to thousands of websites and apps, magnifying its influence.
In May, more than 63 percent of people who accessed a map on a smartphone or tablet used Google Maps, versus 19.4 percent for the Chinese internet giant Alibaba’s maps and 5.5 percent for Apple Maps, according to comScore, which tracks web traffic.
Google said it created its maps from third-party data, public sources, satellites and, often most important, users. People can submit changes, which are reviewed by Google employees. A Google spokeswoman declined further comment.
Yet some submissions are ruled upon by people with little local knowledge of a place, such as contractors in India, said one former Google Maps employee, who declined to be named because he was not authorized to speak publicly. Other users with a history of accurate changes said their updates to maps take effect instantly.
Many of Google’s decisions have far-reaching consequences, with the maps driving increased traffic to quiet neighborhoods and once almost provoking an international incident in 2010 after it misrepresented the boundary between Costa Rica and Nicaragua.
The service has also disseminated place names that are just plain puzzling. In #New_York, #Vinegar_Hill_Heights, #Midtown_South_Central (now #NoMad), #BoCoCa (for the area between Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens), and #Rambo (Right Around the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) have appeared on and off in Google Maps.
Matthew Hyland, co-owner of New York’s Emily and Emmy Squared pizzerias, who polices Google Maps in his spare time, said he considered those all made-up names, some of which he deleted from the map. Other obscure neighborhood names gain traction because of Google’s endorsement, he said. Someone once told him they lived in Stuyvesant Heights, “and then I looked at Google Maps and it was there. And I was like, ‘What? No. Come on,’” he said.
In Detroit, some residents have been baffled by Google’s map of their city, which is blanketed with neighborhood monikers like NW Goldberg, Fishkorn and the Eye. Those names have been on Google Maps since at least 2012.
Timothy Boscarino, a Detroit city planner, traced Google’s use of those names to a map posted online around 2002 by a few locals. Google almost identically copied that map’s neighborhoods and boundaries, he said — down to its typos. One result was that Google transposed the k and h for the district known as Fiskhorn, making it Fishkorn.
A former Detroit city planner, Arthur Mullen, said he created the 2002 map as a side project and was surprised his typos were now distributed widely. He said he used old books and his local knowledge to make the map, approximating boundaries at times and inserting names with tenuous connections to neighborhoods, hoping to draw feedback.
“I shouldn’t be making a mistake and 20 years later people are having to live with it,” Mr. Mullen said.
He admitted some of his names were questionable, such as the Eye, a 60-block patch next to a cemetery on Detroit’s outskirts. He said he thought he spotted the name in a document, but was unsure which one. “Do I have my research materials from doing this 18 years ago? No,” he said.
Now, local real-estate listings, food-delivery sites and locksmith ads use Fishkorn and the Eye. Erik Belcarz, an optometrist from nearby Novi, Mich., named his new publishing start-up Fishkorn this year after seeing the name on Google Maps.
“It rolls off the tongue,” he said.
Detroit officials recently canvassed the community to make an official map of neighborhoods. That exercise fixed some errors, like Fiskhorn (though Fishkorn remains on Google Maps). But for many districts where residents were unsure of the history, authorities relied largely on Google. The Eye and others are now part of that official map.
In San Francisco, the East Cut name originated from a neighborhood nonprofit group that residents voted to create in 2015 to clean and secure the area. The nonprofit paid $68,000 to a “brand experience design company” to rebrand the district.
Andrew Robinson, executive director of the nonprofit, now called the East Cut Community Benefit District (and previously the Greater Rincon Hill Community Benefit District), said the group’s board rejected names like Grand Narrows and Central Hub. Instead they chose the East Cut, partly because it referenced an 1869 construction project to cut through nearby Rincon Hill. The nonprofit then paid for streetlight banners and outfitted street cleaners with East Cut apparel.
But it wasn’t until Google Maps adopted the name this spring that it got attention — and mockery.
“The East Cut sounds like a 17 dollar sandwich,” Menotti Minutillo, an Uber engineer who works on the neighborhood’s border, said on Twitter in May.
Mr. Robinson said his team asked Google to add the East Cut to its maps. A Google spokeswoman said employees manually inserted the name after verifying it through public sources. The company’s San Francisco offices are in the neighborhood (as is The New York Times bureau), and one of the East Cut nonprofit’s board members is a Google employee.
Google Maps has also validated other little-known San Francisco neighborhoods. Balboa Hollow, a roughly 50-block district north of Golden Gate Park, trumpets on its website that it is a distinct neighborhood. Its proof? Google Maps.
“Don’t believe us?” its website asks. “Well, we’re on the internet; so we must be real.”

What can be a more stunning example of fashion and politics going hand in hand?
These textiles were produced in limited quantities during the early years of Soviet Russia by the finest designers of that time. Despite being a manifestation of constructivism they look surprisingly modern and fun to me. I was delighted to see Tata Naka revisiting this wonderful piece of history in their F/W 2002-03 collection. Today, when everybody is crazy about prints, I hope more designers would draw inspiration from this gorgeousness!
Soviet textiles : designing the modern utopia : selected from the Lloyd Cotsen Collection (Livre, 2006) [WorldCat.org]
▻http://www.worldcat.org/title/soviet-textiles-designing-the-modern-utopia-selected-from-the-lloyd-cotsen-collection/oclc/71004542
Between 1927 and 1933 a fascinating experiment in textile making took place in the Soviet Union. As the new nation emerged and the Communist party struggled to transform an agrarian country into an industrialized state, a group of young designers began to create thematic textile designs. They believed that by mass-producing fabrics depicting locomotives, factories, and other symbols of collective modernity for clothing and household use, they could mold the buyers into ideal Soviet citizens. While the experiment ultimately failed as propaganda (the ideal citizens clung to their traditional floral motifs), it yielded many bold and intriguing new designs. Soviet Textiles: Designing the Modern Utopia presents some forty of these textiles and discusses the political and artistic contexts that gave rise to them. Author Pamela Jill Kachurin identifies major themes and motifs that permeate the designs: industrialization, transportation, electrification, youth, agriculture and collectivization, and sports and hobbies. In the final account, few of these designs ever saw mass production; but their graphic power - and their value as elements of artistic and social history - is undiminished
Lloyd Cotsen, Collector of the Ordinary and the Odd, Dies at 88 - The New York Times (17/05/2017)
▻https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/17/business/lloyd-cotsen-collector-of-the-ordinary-and-the-odd-dies-at-88.html
If you had called Lloyd Cotsen a collector, he might have corrected you and said that he was really an accumulator. With an eclectic eye, he accumulated Japanese bamboo baskets, small pieces of textiles, bronze Chinese mirrors and illustrated children’s books.
Collecting beguiled him as a child when he amassed baseball cards and matchbooks. The habit continued when he was a Navy lieutenant on layovers; an executive at Neutrogena, the skin and hair-care company his father-in-law founded; and a man of great wealth, after he sold the company to Johnson & Johnson in 1994 for $924 million.
“I buy things because they strike an emotional bell, they appeal to my curiosity, to the thrill of discovery of the extraordinary in the ordinary,” Mr. Cotsen told The Denver Post in 1998. “They appeal to my sense of humor, and to my search for the beauty in simplicity.”
He added, “I decided I had a collection when there was no more space to put anything.”
By the time he died at 88 on May 8 in Beverly Hills, Calif., Mr. Cotsen (pronounced COAT-zen) had donated about half of the material in his collections to institutions like the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, Princeton University and the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe, N.M.
Fragmentary Tales: Selections from the Lloyd Cotsen “Textile Traces” Collection | LACMA (exposition en 2014)
▻http://www.lacma.org/art/exhibition/fragmentary-tales-selections-lloyd-cotsen-%E2%80%9Ctextile-traces%E2%80%9D-co
Visually and intellectually compelling, textile fragments hold clues and tell stories about the past. An excerpt from the extensive collection of fragments assembled by Lloyd Cotsen, this exhibition presents mysterious and tantalizingly incomplete segments of textiles from throughout history and from around the world, from Peru to Uzbekistan to China and representing a span of more than 2,000 years.
Fragmentary Tales traces a collector’s interest in pattern, color, and texture; the tension between chaos and order; and the exquisite trace of what was once a masterpiece, now isolated because of time or circumstance.
Examining these fragments out of any context is instructive, and Cotsen seeks to share his wide-ranging collection with the public to challenge the visual experience of objects. Despite existing as remnants of a whole, each fragment reveals much about its purpose, method of construction, and aesthetic sensibility of its time and place.

Par voie judiciaire et syndicale, un front mondial se lève contre Uber - Equal Times
►https://www.equaltimes.org/par-voie-judiciaire-et-syndicale
De San Francisco à Tokyo, de Rio de Janeiro à Paris, de Santiago du Chili à Hong Kong, partout où Uber a s’est implanté, les taxis ont répondu par des protestations, voire des actions en justice. C’est que l’application mobile qui met en relation des clients avec des chauffeurs particuliers, parfois totalement amateurs, fait directement concurrence aux taxis professionnels. Les services Uber contournent toutes les règles, de salariat, de cotisations sociales, de sécurité, de formation, qui s’imposent aux taxis.
Dans plusieurs villes et pays, la justice ou les autorités politiques ont décidé d’interdire tout ou partie des services d’Uber
Fin 2016, la métropole brésilienne de Rio de Janeiro a ainsi adopté une loi de prohibition de toutes les plateformes de transports de ce type. À Bruxelles, la capitale belge, c’est la justice qui a interdit Uberpop, l’application de mise en relation de chauffeurs particuliers et de personnes à transporter. En France, le cas Uberpop est allé jusqu’au conseil constitutionnel, qui a confirmé en septembre 2015 l’interdiction du service introduit dans le pays un an plus tôt. En Italie, Uberpop a été interdit en 2015. Tous les autres services de chauffeurs de la firme se sont aussi vu prohibés par la justice italienne en avril 2017, suite à une plainte des taxis italiens.
« Mais Uber a fait appel de la décision. Celle-ci ne peut donc pas encore être mise en œuvre. C’est en suspens », regrette Mac Utara, secrétaire du transport interne à la Fédération internationale des travailleurs des transports (International Transports Workers’ Federation).
« Dans de nombreux pays, il y a une opposition des gouvernements, des chauffeurs de taxi et des compagnies de taxi contre Uber. Souvent, Uber perd en justice. Et parfois, la mise en œuvre des décisions de justice est stricte », explique Mac Utara. « C’est bien. Mais c’est encore mieux quand de véritables lois sont adoptées pour contrer Uber. »
C’est ce qui s’est passé au Danemark et en Bulgarie. Le Danemark a adopté une nouvelle loi sur les taxis en mars 2017, qui oblige notamment tous les véhicules à avoir des caméras de vidéosurveillance et des taximètres à bord pour avoir le droit de proposer un service de transport. « Ce qui exclut de fait les chauffeurs Uber qui roulent avec leurs véhicules personnels », souligne Mac Utara.
Suite à l’adoption de cette nouvelle réglementation, Uber a annoncé fermer ses services au Danemark. La Bulgarie a elle aussi adopté une loi spéciale en octobre 2015, qui a eu pour conséquences de chasser Uber du pays. Selon le texte, seules des sociétés enregistrées qui respectent les réglementations afférentes aux taxis peuvent opérer dans le pays.
En Allemagne, un groupement de sociétés de taxis a attaqué Uber en justice dès son implantation dans le pays en 2014. Il a ensuite fallu deux ans pour que, en juin 2016, la justice allemande interdise, en deuxième instance, l’usage de l’application par des particuliers. Depuis, seuls les taxis, les vrais, peuvent se servir d’Uberpop pour entrer en contact avec leurs clients.
« En plus de cette procédure judiciaire, des villes allemandes ont décidé d’elles-mêmes d’interdire Uber parce que ses services ne respectent pas les règles qui s’imposent aux entreprises de transport. Uber ne s’est pas opposé à ces interdictions », ajoute Mira Ball, responsable à la section des transports de la fédération syndicale allemande des services Verdi (Vereinte Dienstleistungsgewerkschaft).
« Mais il faut bien faire la différence entre Uberpop et les autres services d’Uber », tient à préciser Herwig Kollar, l’avocat qui défend les taxis allemands dans cette bataille judiciaire. « Les services UberBlack et UberX existent toujours en Allemagne, à Berlin et Munich. »
UberBlack est un service de location de voiture de luxe avec chauffeur, UberX un service de chauffeurs. « Et le conflit juridique avec Uber est encore en cours. L’entreprise a contesté le jugement d’interdiction rendu en deuxième instance. La procédure va donc aller jusqu’à la cour fédérale allemande. Celle-ci attend cependant une décision de la Cour de justice de l’Union européenne pour se prononcer. »
Le 11 mai, l’avocat général de la Cour a publié ses recommandations sur l’affaire. Celles-ci sont claires : Uber doit être considéré comme un service de transport. Et en tant que tel, l’entreprise peut être contrainte à respecter les obligations de licences et d’autorisations qui s’imposent aux entreprises de transports dans les différents pays européens.
« Dans 80 % des cas, la Cour de justice de l’Union européenne suit les recommandations de l’avocat général » se réjouit Mac Utara.
Les chauffeurs Uber s’organisent
Au-delà des batailles juridiques menées par les taxis et les autorités, il existe un autre front des travailleurs du transport face à Uber : celui des chauffeurs Uber eux-mêmes, qui commencent à s’organiser pour de meilleurs conditions de travail et de rémunération.
« Depuis qu’Uber a baissé les tarifs des courses, nous n’arrivons pas à joindre les deux bouts, même en travaillant 12 ou 14 heures par jour », rapporte Félix, chauffeur Uber à Paris depuis deux ans et membre de l’association française de chauffeurs de VTC (véhicules de transports avec chauffeurs) ‘Actif-VTC’. « Après l’interdiction d’Uberpop en France, Uber a revu les tarifs à la baisse avec l’argument que cela leur avait fait perdre de la clientèle et qu’il fallait des tarifs plus bas pour l’attirer à nouveau. Les autres plateformes de VTC ont suivi. Uber a aussi augmenté ses commissions. Le travail était déjà dur il y a deux ans. Aujourd’hui, c’est catastrophique. »
En janvier dernier, les différentes organisations représentatives des chauffeurs Uber en France ont entamé des négociations avec l’entreprise. Sans succès. « Uber n’a pas bougé d’un pouce, sur aucune des demandes de chauffeurs, ni l’augmentation des tarifs, ni sur l’arrêt du recrutement des nouveaux chauffeurs partenaires. Car aujourd’hui, tous les jours, Uber intègre de nouveaux chauffeurs », déplore Félix.
« Malheureusement, la plateforme Uber considère aujourd’hui les séances de négociations comme de simples consultations de façade, montrant son incapacité (volontaire ou non) à accepter un véritable échange sur la question prioritaire des tarifs », regrette aussi la fédération de transports du syndicat CFDT (Confédération française démocratique du travail), qui a participé aux discussions. Face à ce blocage, l’intersyndicale des chauffeurs Uber en France en a finalement appelé aux clients de la plateforme, en leur demandant de la boycotter tant que l’entreprise se refuse à négocier.
« Il y a une impuissance générale pour faire face à Uber », constate Félix. Pourtant, son organisation, qui réunit environ 200 personnes, refuse de baisser les bras. Les chauffeurs sont en train de lancer leur propre application et une coopérative indépendante pour travailler sans avoir à le faire avec Uber.
« Nous ne voulons plus de la dépendance à Uber », résume le chauffeur parisien.
–—
La fédération a recensé des actions en justice ou des interdictions prononcées contre Uber dans 49 pays de la planète, sur tous les continents. Toutes les actions ne débouchent toutefois pas forcément sur une interdiction pure et simple, et les procédures sont souvent longues.
Une association de taxis espagnols a en effet saisi la plus haute juridiction européenne pour trancher la question de savoir si l’activité d’Uber doit être classée comme un service de transports ou une simple plateforme de commerce en ligne, comme le réclame l’entreprise basée en Californie.
« Uber n’a jamais voulu négocier. À chaque fois, ils disaient qu’ils ne pouvaient pas bouger les tarifs parce que, sinon, ils ne faisaient pas d’argent. En gros, ça veut dire qu’eux ont le droit de gagner de l’argent mais pas nous. »
Le premier procès du Roundup démarre à San Francisco

Le #Roundup est-il #cancérigène ? #Monsanto a-t-il volontairement caché la dangerosité de son #désherbant au #glyphosate ? Telles sont les questions qu’un #tribunal états-unien va devoir examiner, à partir de lundi 9 juillet. Un tribunal de San Francisco avait été saisi par un particulier atteint d’un cancer en phase terminale.
Si des centaines, voire des milliers, de procédures sont en cours aux Etats-Unis contre le grand groupe d’#agrochimie, la plainte de Dewayne Johnson, un Américain de 46 ans qui a vaporisé du Roundup pendant plus de deux ans, est la première concernant le produit et ses possibles effets cancérigènes à aboutir à un #procès.
Le procès s’est officiellement ouvert à la mi-juin avec la désignation d’un juge, mais les débats de fond ne commencent que lundi, après une série d’audiences techniques. Il est prévu pour durer au moins trois semaines à San Francisco.

Lyft and Uber Won’t Be Happy Until They’re Your One-Stop Transit Guide - The New York Times
▻https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/03/business/dealbook/lyft-uber-bike-sharing.html
Uber will nicht nur den Taximarkt. Uber will den ÖPNV. Uber will alle Verkehrsarten. Neuere Äußerungen seiner Verantwortlichen und seines Konkrurrenten Lyft belegen diese Ambitionen. Die letzten Übernahmen von Fahrrad- und Motorrollerverleihfirmen sind weitere Schritte auf dem Weg zur totalen Verkehrskontrolle. Niemand soll mehr einen Zentimeter zurückegen, ohne dabei von den Megakonzernen unterstützt und überwacht zu werden.
Betreiber und Kontrolleure öffentlicher Angebote für Personenbeförderung, städtische, nationale und internationale Einrichtungen sollen zugunsten privater Konzerne entmachtet werden.
Uns alle wollen die Kapitalmaschinen um erschwingliche, demokratisch kontrollierte Verkehrsmittel bringen und die Preise diktieren. Politiker und Verwaltungen haben leider noch nicht begriffen: Die Konzerne wollen ihnen an den Kragen.

Uber and Lyft came to prominence with their ride-hailing services. But increasingly they’re betting on other modes of transportation — with the aim of becoming the only service people need to get around cities.
Lyft on Monday struck a deal to buy the core parts of Motivate, the parent company of CitiBike in New York and seven other bike-sharing programs around the United States. At first, that acquisition may seem puzzling — why would a ride-hailing giant want to get into the far smaller market for bicycles? — but there’s a bigger idea at work here.
While Uber and Lyft have raised tens of billions of dollars to change the way people travel in cars, the future of urban transport doesn’t revolve just around automobiles. Bike-share programs have been popular in cities around the world for years. Shared electric scooters have become huge business, as providers like Bird and Lime have gained in popularity. And millions of people still take buses or trains. (Some even still walk.)
Lyft and Uber are well aware that one doesn’t need to summon a driver to travel 10 blocks. Lyft’s deal for Motivate follows Uber’s takeover of Jump, a company that rents dockless electric bikes in six American cities, including San Francisco and Chicago. And both companies are experimenting with their own scooter-sharing programs.
But they have bigger ambitions than just filling in gaps in their transportation networks. They want people to use their apps for navigating around cities, period. Uber’s C.E.O., Dara Khosrowshahi, explicitly spelled this idea out earlier this year:
“Whether it’s taking a car, whether it’s taking a pooled car, whether it’s taking a bike, whether you should walk or even now we want to build out the capability for you to take a bus or subway. We want to be the A-to-B platform for transportation.”
There are already apps like Citymapper that help commuters figure out the best way to navigate between two points in a city. But Lyft and Uber have the advantage of actually running some of the transport networks that can be used to make those trips happen, and would like users to never leave their platforms.
One of the keys to making that dream a reality is linking their privately run businesses to public transit — something that both companies are working on.
Uber struck a partnership with the start-up Masabi earlier this year to let users buy public-transit tickets through its app. That means that if the fastest way across town involves a car and a train, Uber could earn money from both parts of the trip.
It isn’t clear what Lyft’s plans with Motivate are yet. But the acquisition buys it relationships with eight U.S. cities that could prove helpful. And while many in Silicon Valley tout the benefits of the dockless bikes and scooters that Jump and Bird offer, Motivate’s bike docks are also useful real estate, providing central locations for bikes or scooters that tend to be around public transit hubs. That could make it easier for users to take public transportation and then switch over to a bike, all while staying in the Lyft system.
Of course, both companies face plenty of barriers. For one, while Lyft says that it expects Motivate’s contracts with cities to roll over, that may not be guaranteed. And while Uber has worked to recast itself as a friendly partner to local governments, many may remain wary because of the past frictions with municipal regulators.
But becoming what Mr. Khosrowshahi has called the “Amazon for transportation” could be incredibly lucrative. That could keep a fight between Uber and Lyft going for years

Le Hackacon
▻http://paris.hackacon.fr
Le Hackacon
Imaginer et prototyper une série de produits et de services les plus stupides possible, de véritables parodies des dérives des startups aujourd’hui. Une restitution ouverte des prototypes sera accessible à tous et sera documentée sur cette page après l’événement.
Le Business Mortel Canvas
En parallèle du Hackacon, pour ceux qui souhaitent s’y frotter, un “atelier” pour créer un modèle économique infernal d’un des produits stupides, modèle dont l’éthique et la morale seront plus que discutables.
Le Pitch Exquis
En marge du Hackacon, sur le temps du midi, sera proposée une session de pitchs improvisés autour d’une série de slides aléatoires et imprévisibles. Un cadavre exquis revisité à la sauce Pecha Kucha, servi sur son lit de ridicule.
Exemple : Domocratie
Le référendum appliquée à l’utilisation de l’électroménager
Mes chers voisins, mes chères voisines, cons de mitoyens de notre bel immeuble. L’heure est, comme chacun le sait, au partage et à la réflexion collective. Avec l’arrivée de Domocratie, c’est la possibilité pour chacun d’entre nous, grâce à une urne connectée, de décider si, oui ou non, Christiane, du 4ème, pourra faire sa lessive à 21 heures ce mardi soir.
Achats de vote, 49.3., constitution de partis, Domocratie c’est ce que notre système a fait de meilleur dans le pire, mis en oeuvre pour la gouvernance (par d’autres) de votre domicile.
MAIS ENCORE :
Le Hackacon, c’est un événement de 48 heures où les participants conceptualisent leurs idées les plus débiles et réalisent des trucs stupides dont absolument personne n’a besoin.
Aaah...
Vous pensez sérieusement que le monde n’a pas besoin de filtres Instagram en macramé, d’une imprimante 3D à fromage, ni d’une application pour ubériser l’acné ? Vous avez parfaitement raison. C’est pourquoi le hackacon mettra à disposition pendant 48 heures tous les outils et énergies humaines permettant de donner vie à de tels projets, le 10 juin prochain au sein du Tank, à Paris.
Mais...
Sachez-le, il y sera malvenu de « make the world a better place », de développer un projet « disruptif » ou encore de « make sense ». Et ciao, adieu, les social entrepreneurship, les civic techs, les makers et encore des tas d’autres mots de franglais que vous trouviez pénibles – si, avouez-le.
Donc...
À l’issue du hackacon de Paris, chaque équipe présente son projet à un jury de spécialistes idiots, qui élit les meilleurs projets sur la base d’une méthodologie de notation rigoureuse. Ou pas.
Le concept vous semble familier ?
Le Hackacon est bel et bien un cousin lointain et illégitime des fabuleux Stupid Hackathons de New York et San Francisco. Pour l’occasion, nous avons un peu retouché le format pour encore plus d’absurde, de ridicule et de malaise.
