    #Snowden in the Labyrinth, by Jonathan Lethem | The New York Review of Books

      Snowden’s book is straightforward, admirably so. He has taken the risk of assuming that his reader is interested not only in his “moment of vision” and the brazen act that earned his fame and notoriety, but also in the formation of his personality, and the slow growth of his understanding of technology, espionage, surveillance, and human rights. Despite his gifts at computer programming, he has no interest in persuading you that he’s unusual; quite the opposite.

    Présentation complète du projet PCI (création de « communautés de pairs » pour le « reviewing » des articles scientifiques publiés en accès ouvert)

    The “Peer Community in” (PCI) is a non-profit scientific organization that aims to create specific communities of researchers reviewing and recommending, for free, unpublished preprints in their field (i.e. unpublished articles deposited on open online archives like arXiv.org and bioRxiv.org). To a lesser extent, they may also recommend articles already published in journals.

    Stablecoins in 2019 (Are we are not there yet ?)Traditional e-money still dominatesIn 2017 USDT (Tether USD) is no doubt an undeniable market dominant. A year later — 2018 there were a bit more than several dozen projects reported. As of 2019, there are now more than two hundred of them. Some projects out of the “first pack” have already shut down, some are for the time being are still only #news of intentions, but it can be safely said that at least hundreds of stablecoin projects are at different stages of development now.As for the stablecoins that are in production and live, those traded on the exchanges, there isn’t much to track as well. With the help of CoinMarketCap, I managed to find data on the 23 stablecoins so far. It will be easier to group the coins by the binding object and the (...)

    Stellar Lumens stands out from a lot of cryptocurrenciesStellar Lumens (XLM)This project really sets itself apart from many others, it functions as cryptocurrency as well as a development platform, in many ways it is similar to #ethereum, yet it is alot faster and cheaper, this allows applications and smart contract built on it’s contracts to operate at a faster speed and with almost no cost.Stellar Lumens (XLM) was developed by the co-founder of Ripple so it is no suprise that they are also similar, they both have ultra-fast transactions and extremely low fees.Here is why I believe Stellar has a great future:Transactions cost a fraction of 1 cent to complete which means that you can send money, execute smart contracts and run ICO’s with really low overhead costs.

    For more than a decade, night-time arrivals at Gbessia International Airport in #Conakry, #Guinea, were greeted by dozens and sometimes hundreds of secondary school students studying in the parking lot. A foreign visitor’s bemusement would quickly evaporate, however, as they noticed that beyond the bright lights of the partially French-owned and operated airport, block after…

      Gang Town’s focus on Cape Town’s  longue  durée corruption of the social fabric of working class  communities (…) sketches a city that has repeatedly deformed and destroyed social institutions that would otherwise channel the natural rebellions of young people away from gangs, drug  abuse  and violence. In a particularly insightful passage Pinnocks describes how forced removals under the Group Areas Act ripped up “networks of streets, houses, corner shops and shebeens, but also social webs of kin, friendship

    Guangzhou, in Southern #China, has a long tradition as a trading port. More recently, in the wake of the Chinese state’s aggressive foreign and trade policies to Africa, the city is also home to a growing community of migrants and businesspeople from that continent. The latter buy goods in bulk in Guangzhou to sell back […]

    Development #economics as a field of study was formally launched in the 1950s by the Afro-Caribbean economist Arthur Lewis who, out of necessity, wanted to understand how his own country, Saint Lucia, could transform from an agro-based economy into a modern industrial state (later, in 1979, Lewis was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics […]

    It is still not uncommon to hear South Africans say that they’re going on a business trip or holiday “in #Africa” – as if their own country lies on another continent. We could blame this attitude on our history. During Apartheid, #South_Africa was politically and socially isolated from the rest of the continent (South […]
