Name: Joel Marsh on the Science of Design by O'Reilly Radar in tech
Duration: 39 min 54 s
Description: In this week’s Design Podcast episode, I sit down with Joel Marsh, designer and author of UX for Beginners. We talk about design as a scientific way of thinking, what happens when you try to cash a check in Sweden, combining behavioral economics and design, and why learning design is like learning to play the piano.

Listen to an excerpt of Alex Segura's SECRET IDENTITY, read by Aida Reluzco.

It’s 1975 and the comic book industry is struggling, but Carmen Valdez doesn’t care. She’s an assistant at Triumph Comics, which doesn’t have the creative zeal of Marvel nor the buttoned-up efficiency of DC, but it doesn’t matter. Carmen is tantalizingly close to fulfilling her dream of writing a superhero book.

That dream is nearly a reality when one of the Triumph writers enlists her help to create a new character, which they call “The Lethal Lynx,” Triumph's first female hero. But her colleague is acting strangely and asking to keep her involvement a secret. And then he’s found dead, with all of their scripts turned into the publisher without her name. Carmen is desperate to piece together what happened to him, to hang on to her piece of the Lynx, which turns out to be a runaway hit. But that’s complicated by a surprise visitor from her home in Miami, a tenacious cop who is piecing everything together too quickly for Carmen, and the tangled web of secrets and resentments among the passionate eccentrics who write comics for a living.

Alex Segura uses his expertise as a comics creator as well as his unabashed love of noir fiction to create a truly one-of-a-kind novel--hard-edged and bright-eyed, gritty and dangerous, and utterly absorbing.

Secret Identity by Alex Segura, audiobook excerpt

Comment continuer à faire l’amour sans se poser de questions quand on est hétéro, mais aussi fan de Virginie Despentes ? Intellectuellement, on peut tout à fait adhérer aux idées féministes qui démontent les pratiques érotiques standard, à base de pénétration et de domination masculine. Mais en pratique, il n’est pas forcément évident de rebooter son répertoire à phantasmes. Peut-on vraiment dégommer les scénarios sexuels incrustés dans notre psyché ? Qu’en faire ? Comment les assumer sans s’aliéner à ce fichu patriarcat ?

En proie à ces grandes questions et à un vague sentiment de culpabilité, Delphine Saltel rencontre le philosophe Alexandre Lacroix, homme, cis, hétéro, marié, père de 5 enfants, et philosophe. Dans son dernier livre « Apprendre à faire l’amour » paru aux éditions Allary, il essaie d’interroger la sexualité hétéro standard, à sa manière. En puisant dans sa discipline quelques outils sexologiques originaux, Alexandre Lacroix nous incite à passer au rayon X les scripts sexuels dominants dont nous avons hérité. Car pour revisiter nos automatismes et notre imaginaire érotique, il faut déjà prendre conscience des règles et des conventions sociales auxquels on obéit souvent inconsciemment quand on fait l’amour. Analyser le cocktail freudo-porno-sexo qui nous abreuve, et changer nos habitudes pour espérer modifier le scénario. 

Merci à Xavier de la Porte.

Vivons heureux avant la fin du monde
Comment s’habiller, échanger, voyager, s’aimer dans les années 20 ? Pour se bricoler une morale minimale en des temps de crises sociale, écologique et sanitaire, Delphine Saltel (Que sont-ils devenus ?, Y'a deux écoles) explore chaque mois nos incohérences et les solutions possibles. Mêlant questionnement personnel, tribulations domestiques, reportages et entretiens avec des chercheurs et des activistes, ce nouveau podcast veut alerter, éveiller et rassurer sur un autre monde possible.

Powell to the people: The Fed raises rates

Rana Eid est sound designer et réalisatrice. Depuis près 40 ans, elle enregistre les ambiances de Beyrouth, sa ville natale. Elle enregistre donc les sons de la guerre civile (1975-1990), la reconstruction, la guerre de 2006, la révolution civile de 2019, l’explosion du port le 4 août 2020 et enfin l’effondrement actuel du Liban. Aujourd'hui, elle commente ses propres archives sonores qui racontent son pays meurtri et une ville qui retient son souffle. Marine Vlahovic (Carnets de correspondante) a rencontré Rana Eid une première fois en 2014 avant de la retrouver quelques années plus tard. Un manifeste sensible sur l’importance du son dans nos mémoires. 

Ce documentaire est lauréat de l'appel à projets 2021 du ministère de la Culture.

Le souffle de Beyrouth

Enlèvement à l’italienne

#22: Sugar Ray Leonard

It’s well understood that bitcoin can be used to buy and sell things/services, and the ecosystem of people accepting the cryptocurrency as payment is expanding. But what else can we use the underlying protocol for? How can we expand the same system that enables bitcoin-the-currency to flow and transactions to be recorded? This discussion (from the a16z Academic Roundtable 2014) examines that question, and answers why the currency is just the beginning of the story when it comes to this technology. You can watch video of the entire discussion here: http://a16z.com/2014/10/24/the-bitcoin-network-effect/

Intel's Trusted Analytics Platform (TAP) combines open source components to make data analytics and data applications easier to manage. O'Reilly's Rachel Roumeliotis and Intel's Chuck Freedman talk about TAP's functionality.

A data platform for data scientists, DevOps, and developers

In this episode of the O’Reilly Data Show, I spoke with Mikio Braun, delivery lead and data scientist at Zalando. After spending previous years in academia, Braun recently made the decision to switch to industry. He shared some observations about building large-scale systems, particularly deploying data applications in production systems. Given his longstanding background as a machine learning researcher and practitioner, I wanted to get his take on topics like deep learning, hybrid systems, feature engineering, and AI applications.

Practical Machine Learning Techniques for Building Intelligent Applications

In this episode of the Data Show, I spoke with Mike Tung, founder and CEO of Diffbot - a company dedicated to building large-scale knowledge databases. Diffbot is at the heart of many web applications, and it’s starting to power a wide array of intelligent applications. We talked about the challenges of building a web-scale platform for doing highly accurate, semi-supervised, structured data extraction. We also took a tour through the AI landscape, and the early days of self-driving cars.

Parentalité, charge mentale et travail domestique
C'est peut-être en devenant mère que j'ai le plus souffert des inégalités de genre. Parce que, alors que nous étions un couple qui aspirait à devenir des parents égaux, les statistiques sur l'inégale répartition des tâches domestiques et parentales nous ont rattrapés. Parce que je me suis sentie responsable en priorité du bébé. Parce qu'à chaque Noël, je découvre avec stupéfaction les jouets : roses avec des landaus pour les filles, bleus avec des déguisements d'astronautes pour les garçons. Je me suis demandée comment nous pouvions encore en être là ? Pourquoi la maternité et la paternité sont toujours marquées par autant d’inégalités ? Comment tout cela se met en place ? Que se passe-t il lors des premiers mois de la vie de l'enfant ? Qu'attend-t on des pères et des mères en 2018 ?

NY state of mind

O'Reilly Media spreads the knowledge of innovators. At O’Reilly, a big part of our business is paying attention to what’s new and interesting in the world of technology. We have a pretty good record at having anticipated some of the big technology developments in recent history. For instance, we launched the first commercial Web site, GNN, in 1993; we organized the meeting at which the term “open source” was first adopted; we were early investors in Blogger, which helped launch the blogging revolution; and more recently, our Web 2.0 conference launched a world-wide meme. We call this predictive sense the “O’Reilly Radar.” And while we’re certainly not always right, we are, at least, good at making interesting guesses.

Our methodology is simple: we draw from the wisdom of the alpha geeks in our midst, paying attention to what’s interesting to them, amplifying these weak signals, and seeing where they fit into the innovation ecology. Add to that the original research conducted by our Research team, and you start to get a good picture of what the technology world is thinking about.
