Techno-Activism Third Mondays: The Internet of Garbage with Sarah Jeong, August 17

by Danny O'Brien

Sarah Jeong's new book, The Internet of Garbage, takes a look at the problems of harassment through the lens of the online world's struggle to regulate its own worst outputs. From spam-fighting to sprawling copyright law, Jeong's thesis is that whatever fix we consider, it can't just be about hitting delete. Free speech rights, intermediary liability, anonymity, and moderator working conditions are just some of the other considerations we need to look at before anyone takes the garbage out. Jeong will talk about the book, her coverage of other Internet issues such as Garcia v. Google and the Silk Road trial, and future issues for the modern techno-activist. Date: August 17 Time: 6:00pm Location: EFF offices, 815 Eddy Street, San Francisco More info: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011JAV030/?tag=electronicfro-20 What is this again? Techno-Activism Third Mondays (TA3M) is an informal meetup to connect activists and technologists who are interested in the challenges of surveillance and censorship, and anyone interested in free and open technology.

Eviction of Rock Paper Scissors: End of an Era for Oakland’s Art Scene

by Romy Ilano

http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/08/07/eviction-of-rock-paper-scissors-end-of-… Eviction of Rock Paper Scissors: End of an Era for Oakland’s Art Scene Rock Paper Scissors' doors will close before the end of August (Andrew Stelzer/KQED) By Andrew Stelzer <http://ww2.kqed.org/news/author/andrewstelzer>AUGUST 7, 2015 SHARE <http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/08/07/eviction-of-rock-paper-scissors-end-of-…> This ragtag Oakland storefront at 23rd Street and Telegraph Avenue was at the geographic center of the original Art Murmur <http://oaklandartmurmur.org/> in 2006. It’s an all-in-one art gallery, classroom, clothing shop and activist meeting space. The volunteer-run collective operating Rock Paper Scissors <http://rpscollective.org/>exemplifies the city’s social justice seeking, DIY art and activism scene. But with Oakland rents soaring, they’ve been priced out of their space. August’s will be the last First Friday <http://www.oaklandfirstfridays.org/> street fair and Art Murmur gallery stroll for the collective — the last remaining organization of those that helped start the monthly festival almost a decade ago. On a recent East Bay summer evening, volunteers gathered inside the storefront to learn how to become pen pals with queer prisoners. “It can get really complicated because if someone’s legal name is John but they go by Jennifer for instance, You have to put J or John on the outside of the envelope,” said Beja Alisheva, co-facilitator of Flying Over Walls <https://flyingoverwalls.wordpress.com/>, queer/trans prisoner solidarity organization. [image: Flying Over Walls volunteers gather at the Rock Paper Scissors Collective to write letters to LGBTQ prisoners.] <http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/RS16278_group-…> Flying Over Walls volunteers gather at Rock Paper Scissors to write letters to LGBTQ prisoners. (Andrew Stelzer/KQED) There are lots of rules about how the envelopes sent into prisons can be decorated, so as to not be confiscated. “No glitter?” Louis Smith asked incredulously. The letter-writing get-together was just one of dozens of gatherings held at Rock Paper Scissors every month, ranging from writing workshops to a sewing lab and jewelry-making for teens. “When we first came to Rock Paper Scissors looking for a space, they said of course,” Alisheva said. “Obviously, we don’t have a lot of money. It’s not something that brings in a lot of revenue, but that didn’t matter to them.” She added: “It was such a relief when we finally landed here, so now we’re not sure where we’re going to end up.” That’s a sentiment shared with the quirky creative space’s regulars. “Gentrification is real,” said Alexandra Rigaud, an assistant with the collective’s youth program. “We are getting pushed out, and we did start First Friday … Now we are paying for it.” It’s becoming a common story all over the Bay Area. The artists who in a recent era made a neighborhood “hip” are being driven out, in part due to their own success. “The neighborhood has changed a lot,” said Kristy Holohan, the collective’s youth, community and interim gallery director. “We are basically like sandwiched in between two bars, there are some really high end galleries.” [image: The Rock Paper Scissors storefront on 23rd Street and Telegraph Avenue.] <http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/RS16281_RPS-st…> The Rock Paper Scissors Collective storefront on 23rd Street and Telegraph Avenue. (Andrew Stelzer/KQED) Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf said the plight of Rock Paper Scissors raises a much bigger question as the city continues to boom. “It’s not just the housing affordability that is a potential crisis for us,” she said. “The threat of displacement of our small businesses, of our cultural institutions, of our non-profits — those are also community stabilization issues that absolutely need to be solved.” Schaaf said the city’s “solutions are more limited” because state law prevents <http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=civ&group=01001-02000…> rent stabilization for commercial space. The mayor said she’s creating a new Artist Affordable Housing and Workspace Task Force, but that’s yet to be staffed. Anyka Barber, who founded Betti Ono <http://www.bettiono.com/> gallery in downtown Oakland, said the city needs to do more. “In order for it to continue to be a world-class city and build on the strengths that it has, especially around culture and arts, we really have to have the investment match the brand recognition,” she said. Barber is a lead organizer of the Oakland Creative Neighborhoods Coalition <https://www.facebook.com/KeepOAKCreative> — a newly formed group that’s calling for the re-establishment of Oakland’s Arts Commission, which had its funding and staff eliminated more than five years ago. “There’s a lot of talk about the economic development side of arts experiences or cultural experiences, based on people visiting, what kinds of funds or revenues that brings back to the city,” Barber said. “Currently, it looks like maybe 1.3 percent of the total city budget is funding or investing in community development or cultural programs. That does not reflect equity.” [image: The Rock Paper Scissors Collective's mission statement.] <http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/RS16279_RPS-mi…> The Rock Paper Scissors Collective’s mission statement. (Andrew Stelzer/KQED) The coalition’s demands were left out of the recently adopted 2016-17 city budget. Rock Paper Scissors, meanwhile, has until the end of the month to find a new space or close up shop and try to raise more money. The collective is seeking volunteers to help pack up and move <http://rpscollective.org/help-rock-paper-scissors-pack-and-move/> to a yet-to-be-determined location. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

"Empathy for Computer Scientist" - A tutorial-essay.

by Maximilian Klein

Dearest Sudoers, I've been writing a piece called "The Universal Empathy Machine: Nonviolent Communication Explained with Mathematics and Computer Science" <http://notconfusing.com/universal-empathy-machine/> < http://notconfusing.com/universal-empathy-machine/>, and I'd be curious to get your feedback on it because if you're on this list you're an exemplary of my target audience. It's intended for the intersection of people who love machines and logic, and care about good communication. Here's an excerpt: > 0. The Universal Empathy Machine > > Empathy is not sympathy. What’s the difference? Think of the Universal > Turing Machine <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Turing_machine>. > It is a machine that accepts a program and data, and runs that program on > that data. In this way it can simulate all programs on all data. Let us > think of a human as a program and human experience as data. *Sympathy > then, is running your program on someone else’s data. Empathy is running > their program on their data.* As you can see the results of the sympathy > and empathy computations are not guaranteed to be identical. In a nutshell > Nonviolent Communication is about becoming the Universal Empathy Machine, > to be able to emulate the architecture of an arbitrary person given an > arbitrary experience. > Make a great day, Max Klein ‽ http://notconfusing.com/

Lend a hand with moving some gear for CCL & Sudo, 2pm today?

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Anyone available to help move some gear for CCL and Sudo Room this afternoon? Do let me know as soon as possible if you have access to a truck as well, otherwise I'll probably wind up having to rent a UHaul. We'll be picking up a set of sturdy metal shelves, a spot welder, and various boxes of electronic components in Hayward. We need to be *at* the storage space in by 2pm, 77 Traynor Str. in Hayward. Thanks! Patrik

LLVM aficionados anywhere?

by Adam Munich

Howdy hackers, My friend is looking for somebody to write a compiler in LLVM for his new CPU architecture, which consists of a bunch of separate cored with their own scratchpad memory and the ability to interact with each other. He hasn't had luck poaching people from Google and such, but needs to get this done by November for DARPA. Are any of you interested in very funky computer architectures? If so I can make the connection! Cheers, -Adam
