« The method they developed to beat Ms. Pac-Man could be used to help a company’s sales organization make precise predictions about which potential customers to target at a particular time or on a particular day. The system could use multiple agents, each representing one client, with a top agent weighing factors such as which clients are up for contract renewal, which contracts are worth the most to the company and whether the potential customer is typically in the office that day or available at that time » – Rahul Mehrotra.

« A lot of Instagram’s most popular users are paid to promote advertisers’ products. A lot of those same users don’t actually disclose that they’re promoting an advertisers’s products. So Instagram is asking these users, many of them celebrities or media organizations, to include a “paid partnership” label on posts that they’re being compensated to share ».

« Le présent document décrit un clavier informatique particulièrement adapté à la saisie de la langue française dans un contexte multilingue où le recours à d’autres langues latines est fréquent. Pour atteindre cet objectif, deux dispositions sont proposées qui laissent le choix entre deux dispositions de clavier : l’une très proche de la disposition AZERTY traditionnelle (qui n’a jamais fait l’objet d’une Norme française), et l’autre s’appuyant sur la disposition ergonomique BÉPO ».

Une solution simple si jamais : le clavier suisse (QWERTZ), qui est tout simplement excellent !

As we wrote last year, that raises the potential for them to quietly collect background information on users, even though Uber, for one, has played that suggestion down. Those days will soon be over for many users thanks to a new setting in iOS 11 that introduces the “While Using The App” location setting for all apps ».

mapping our environment for our health

« Today, with our partners at Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) and Aclima, we’re sharing the first results of an endeavor we started in 2015: to measure air quality using Aclima equipment mounted on Google Street View cars. You can now see maps for Oakland, CA, released by EDF, of nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and black carbon—pollutants emitted from cars, trucks and other sources that can affect our health and our climate ».
