Silicon Valley elites just played an awkward round of icebreakers with Trump

Trump Tower was buzzing with excitement on Wednesday afternoon as Silicon Valley giant after giant made their way through the golden lobby to meet with the president-elect.

Though much of the meeting is being kept under wraps, video of the meeting room and a short introduction was obtained by Fox News and NowThis Politics.

Peter Thiel’s latest bet

Memex 1.1

Peter Thiel is the only prominent Silicon Valley figure to publicly support Trump during the election campaign. He famously spoke at the Republican Convention. This is what he said:

Good evening. I’m Peter Thiel. I build companies and I’m supporting people who are building new things, from social networks to rocket ships. I’m not a politician. But neither is Donald Trump. He is a builder, and it’s time to rebuild America.

DBO writes, “A new report by Deflect Labs tracks the complex ways that hackers have sought to take down the Black Lives Matter website. The attacks, which relied on harvesting WordPress sites, increased in sophistication and left a murky, unsavory trail by actors who did everything from try to extort the website to taking it down entirely.

We need European regulation of Facebook and Google

open Democracy News Analysis – by Leighton Andrews

It’s time for the EU to step in and regulate the world’s two biggest media outlets.

Over the weekend, Facebook sent me a link to a video they had made of my activity on their site over the last year. To my mind, that was more proof, if any were needed, that Facebook is a media company, despite all its protestations.

Usability overtakes design

Nieman Journalism Lab by Libby Bawcombe

Responsive design has made news websites look similar. Much more similar. In just a couple years, sites that once looked like distant cousins have turned into siblings. Larger fonts, more white space, and a seemingly limited number of layouts have all contributed to a general feeling of déjà vu. And when a news site unveils its responsive redesign, we can’t help but wonder if we’ve seen it somewhere before. I mean, we have, right?

Ayşe Özer: BİR DERDİM VAR BİN DERMANA DEĞİŞMEM #CarsıYanlızDeğildir

http://ift.tt/1uIXXfC

BİR DERDİM VAR BİN DERMANA DEĞİŞMEM

Ahir ömrümüzün en güzel Haziran’ının hemen ertesinde bir 2 Temmuz mitingiydi. Mitingin bitişinde Ankara’da Ziya Gökalp Caddesinde yolu trafiğe açan Çevik Kuvvetin Çarşı’nın cıvıltılarını duyduğu andaki tepkisi şuydu: “Amirim Çarşı gelmiş, ne yapalım, trafiği tekrar kapatalım mı? Bize destek kuvvet, acil!” Ethem’in vurulduğu yere gitmeye çalışan kitleye izin vermeye yanaşmayan Çevik, Çarşı’yı görünce “çevik kuvvet beyaz desene” kıvamına gelmişti. Yavru kartallar caddenin akustiğini de kullanarak Kızılay’ı kuş cıvıltısına bürümüştü. Yollar açıldı, Ethem’e gidildi.

Gezi Parkında görülen bayrakların Kazlıçeşme’de de görüldüğü iddia edildi. Oysa ki A harfini düz yazmıyordu Çarşı. “Beşiktaş seninle ölmeye geldik” diye haykıran kitlenin hepsinin doğum saati 31 Mayıs günü sabaha karşı olduğundan yükselenleri de elbette ki Çarşıydı. Bu burcun kadını da, erkeği de haksızlığa dayanamayan, isyankar ve devrimci kişilikler oluyordu. Tanrının çılgın çocukları Ihlamurlu yoldan Poma’yla karşı çıkarken, telsizde şöyle bir anons duyuldu: ben Vedat, Davulcu Vedat!

Sahaya atkılarını atıp çocuklarımızı ısıtan Çarşı bizden habersiz darbe yapacakmış. İçerledim doğrusu, o kadar hukukumuz var, insan bir haber vermez mi? Yolları trafiğe kapatın da kuş cıvıltıları iyi duyulsun.

Bir Şeb-i Aruz toplantısıydı. Kürsüye çıktınız. İlk defa söylediğiniz bir laf bizde karşılık buldu. “Çok dertliyiz, derdimiz çok. Derdimizi de seviyoruz hamdolsun”. Ya da bilmem kaç desibelle söyleyelim isterseniz “bir derdim var, bin dermana değişmem asla”.
