CHM Live | NOVA Secrets in Your Data
[Recorded May 16, 2024] Whether you’re on social media or surfing the web, you’re probably sharing more personal data than you realize. That can pose a risk to your privacy—even your safety. At the same time, big datasets could lead to huge advances in fields like medicine. In NOVA's Secrets in Your Data, host Alok Patel explores these issues on a quest to understand what happens to all the data we’re shedding and explores the latest efforts to maximize benefits—without compromising personal privacy. Join the Computer History Museum for a screening of selected clips from Secrets in Your Data paired with a panel discussion featuring experts from the film. NOVA's Secrets in Your Data premieres Wednesday May 15 at 9/8c on PBS. Check local listings for details. It is also available for streaming online via the PBS video app or the link below. https://youtu.be/ih_GGQX_zmM?si=0ui4qAfOP5Ou6RRT Catalog Number: 102808999 Acquisition Number: 2024.0061

Can confirm. This is a huge and necessary win for Americans' privacy, particularly after the Supreme Court gutted privacy protections under Roe. Now it's time for the Senate to do its job and follow suit.

By the way, Internet Archive can accept charitable donations which are US-tax deductible to you and maybe even matched by your employer.

ASU University Librarian Jim O'Donnell on the implications of the @archive.org lawsuit, distilled into a single, simple question: How Do We Rescue the Past? popula.com/2024/03/25/a...
The future of intellectual property is bound up with accessibility, use, and reuse. A book or article that is not accessible in the space of intelligent consumption—a digitally dominated space—will disappear forever, like an ancient poet who never managed to get copied into the newfangled codex technology and lies today in the sands of Egypt hoping, for the most part in vain, that some archaeologist may yet dig up his papyrus roll. When (not if) humankind outsources much of what we now call reading to bots and agents and other AI interventions yet unborn, the inaccessible intellectual object will simply no longer have a meaningful existence.
