Initial count for @Peoples_Climate: 310,000 passionate people. Holy cow. What a movement we have built. #PeoplesClimate #ActOnClimate

Probably much larger than 310k-- but even at that the biggest protest about anything in America in a very long time

Lots & lots of young folks in #ClimateMarch. Last time I saw so many young folks marching was in Vietnam War protests http://t.co/LyRNv2W657

On Facebook: no updates on the climate march. I switch newsfeed to most recent, and yep, tons of my friends posting from NYC. Invisible.

he case marks a disturbing trend among authorities to go after researchers, innovators, tinkerers and others who try to do cutting-edge projects 

The MIT community has rallied behind the Tidbit students in support of them and their efforts, in stark contrast to the school’s silence when Swartz was arrested.

As MIT students and faculty have warned, the fear that any state can issue broad subpoenas to any student anywhere in the country will have a chilling effect on campus technological innovation beyond Tidbit.”

I just can't get enough of Tolulope Ilesanmi's writing about his choice to become a Cleaner. Here, he writes about his struggle to overcome the stigma of this profession. "By becoming a “failure”, I crossed the fear threshold into freedom to play, experiment and do crazy things like invite CEOs to clean toilets!

A lot of this software can be prohibitively expensive, especially for someone who only wants to use the program for a specific project, for instance, or is just interested in learning how to use Photoshop or InDesign. Checking the program out of the library for a week would make far more sense than shelling out hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars for your own personal copy.
The software-lending library flips on its head users’ whole relationship with the cloud. Now, the program used for editing a video analyzing a statistical dataset will live on the cloud, but the file itself will be on a local hard drive.
“If you’re trying to edit a big, high-definition file on your computer with a copy of Adobe Premiere hosted remotely at a data center across the country,” Deacon noted, “it’s going to require pretty good two-way connectivity.”
The model of remotely hosted software interacting with files sitting only a few inches from users’ faces is something that could revolutionize how computers are set up. With the computational heavy lifting done elsewhere, complex tasks like video editing could be quickly and efficiently done on small, inexpensive machines that only require a fraction of the processing power of many of today’s devices used for similar tasks.

Thus far, the Internet’s greatest innovation has been turning mass media into a two-way street. For the first time ever, anyone could push just as much information out into the world as they received.
At least, that was the hope. In reality, the very physical infrastructure of the Internet made that ideal something that could only be realized partially.

Walked to my gate. Heard @EmWatson's voice on CNN. Her speech slowly draws an audience. Then CUT. Talking head analysis. Everyone looks away

Declare the event a success or escalate? What to do given the point was to show we see the connection between capitalism and climate change?
