In the Wake of #DeleteFacebook, It's Time to Rethink The Free Internet Economy
March 25, 2018 /in Opinion /by Brian Reich
In the wake of what the media has misrepresented as the "Facebook data breach" by the British Firm Cambridge Analytica, Facebook has lost users, lost high-profile company pages, and most importantly to them, lost value.
The #DeleteFacebook hash tag's popularity has hockey-sticked as have Google queries for the search term delete facebook. The torches and pitchforks are out. The townsfolk are angry. And they should be.
We Have a Right to be Angry
But our anger shouldn't be entirely aimed at the dorky billionaire possibly cloistered away at his private Hawaiian beach. If you need to blame someone for violating your privacy, you should start by blaming yourself.
I have no love for Facebook. Or social media in general. I encourage you to delete your Facebook simply to regain control of your schedule and mental well-being. But it won't solve this problem because Facebook is a symptom, not a cause.
I'm aware my opinion isn't popular. So let me explain.
What Did the Trump Campaign Do?
During the 2016 presidential election, the Trump campaign hired a British firm called Cambridge Analytica to manage their online campaigning. The campaign tasked the firm with building a useful voter database and using it to change hearts and minds. This strategy is not the stuff of scandal. For better or worse, this is the life-blood of modern American political campaigns.
Do you remember the movie Inception? It's like that. But instead of implanting thoughts in our heads with futuristic dream travel technology, they do it with ads so targeted to our headspace that we think their idea and the resulting change in our behavior were ours all along.
Summary: The Trump campaign collected detailed profile data on voters that most believed was private. They leveraged this data to develop microtargeted campaign messaging that was often untruthful, with the goal of playing to the voters' owns hopes and fears to swing their vote. This is common. But this is not OK.
What Did Cambridge Analytica Do?
Cambridge Analytica developed a Facebook personality test app that tens of thousands of users installed and shared. When the app was installed it requested permissions to read information about the user's connections ("friends") and their demographic data. Facebook essentially allowed users to permit apps to read their friend's profiles.
On its surface, the app did what it claimed to do. But behind the scenes, the app was used to data mine demographic information on millions of Americans.
Cambridge Analytica claims that by using data mining and microtargeting, they can zero in on the needs of specific voting blocs and deliver ads that can change voting behavior. A former employee leaked their blueprint for winning the presidency. Spoiler Alert: he won. They helped.
Summary: Cambridge Analytica developed a Facebook platform application that did one innocuous thing on its surface, but behind the scenes gave Cambridge Analytica access to detailed profile information for both the users and the user's Facebook friends. The app took advantage of the fact that very few people paid attention to app permissions and did what so many free online services do: offer something useful in exchange for data. It's common. But it's not OK. (More on this later.)
What Did Facebook Do?
Not much.
I don't mean that Facebook didn't play a pivotal role in this fiasco. Inaction was their choice, and inaction turned this from a design flaw into a scandal.
Facebook required users to authorize permissions when they installed the app manually. But once a user gave Facebook apps permissions, they didn't concern themselves with how they used it. Former employees have claimed that it was Facebook's internal policy to not look at how the data was used because then they'd be responsible for what they found.
Summary: Facebook developed a social platform and allowed third-party programmers to build apps on it. Facebook's platform required apps to ask for permissions. But the permissions were far too broad and could be used to read profile data on users other than the one using the app. In Facebook's business model user data is the product they sell. Looking too closely into how that data gets used would jeopardize their business. Their business model does not incentivize privacy. This is how the Internet's "Free Economy" works. There is nothing OK about it.
"What did I do to cause this?" is the question nobody is asking. But it's the most important.
The Trump campaign hired Cambridge Analytica to mine private data and use it to change behavior. Cambridge Analytica built an app to harvest data by taking advantage of Facebook's overly permissive app platform, and the psychological fact that users are terrible at reading and understanding terms and permissions. Facebook built a platform that's free to use but sells our data and sells moments of our lives ("engagement") to advertisers.
But there's one thing that's required for all their plans to come together: they need you to play along.
You signed up for Facebook.
You installed the app.
You neglected to read the fine print.
You gave the app permission to harvest your data.
You gave the app permission to harvest your friends' data.
You neglected to read Facebook's terms and signed up anyway.
You agreed to let Facebook sell moments of your life by way of engagement with targeted ads the moment you signed up.
You agreed with the message of the ads because they confirmed your existing beliefs rather than challenge them.
You didn't fact-check the message because that takes time and could challenge your existing beliefs.
You helped the message spread because it confirmed your existing beliefs.
You decided, explicitly or not, that all this was better than paying for whatever value you think you're getting from Facebook.
It's Time to Rethink the Internet Economy
The behavior of the Trump Campaign, Cambridge Analytica, and Facebook is the rule. It is not the exception.
If it weren't Donald Trump, it would be his opponent. Cambridge Analytica's programmer is hardly the first coder to build disingenuous software. Except for the open source movement, that's the free software model. Facebook isn't doing anything with its data that other social networks wouldn't do as well, or have done in the past.
And it's all because we expect the Internet to be free.
Ideas mature. They get reconciled with reality. They get old. They sell out. My punk-rock high school friends work at banks now. Rock & roll lost its edge and became a commodity. And the Internet isn't pirated games, and it isn't Napster anymore.
But it's built by folks who cut their teeth on it. And now they have kids to feed.
You, me, and billions of others decided we like free so much that we're willing to sell out our friends, our privacy, our democracy, and even our thought processes in exchange for free service. We barely consider what those services are, and if they make our lives better.
We need to have a conversation about the real price of free service, and whether it's worth the social cost.

Now, greater than 50 years later, the World Health Organization (WHO) is looking for hashish and all of its key elements, from cannabinoids to resins, to be formally rescheduled underneath the 1961 drug treaty.
The WHO needs whole-plant marijuana, hashish resin and different key constituents of the plant (like THC and CBD) faraway from its Schedule IV classification within the 1961 drug conference.
While the WHO has not formally issued its suggestions, a leaked doc particulars what rescheduling hashish would entail. The proposal would remove whole-plant marijuana and hashish resin from the Schedule IV classification however retain its Schedule I designation. Under the Single Convention, governments should restrict Schedule I medicine to medical and scientific analysis functions, amongst different necessities.
Furthermore, the WHO needs the primary psychoactive constituent of hashish, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), utterly faraway from a separate 1971 drug treaty and added to the Schedule I class of the 1961 conference. As for cannabidiol (CBD), a precept non-psychoactive cannabinoid with large therapeutic potential, the WHO says that any CBD preparation with lower than zero.2 % THC shouldn't fall beneath any worldwide management.
But the WHO's proposals additionally acknowledge the widespread proliferation of differing types of hashish merchandise and preparations, like extracts, concentrates, and tinctures. Under the brand new suggestions, these merchandise and pharmaceutical preparations containing THC would fall beneath Schedule III. The 1961 Single Convention restricts Schedule III substances the least and doesn't require governments to authorize their import or export.
In sum, ratification of the WHO's proposals to reschedule hashish would quantity to at least one factor. Namely, an admission that for many years, the world's governing our bodies have merely been flawed on the risks and advantages of marijuana. Indeed, many governments have already come round to this reality and have scaled again or eradicated their prohibition on hashish.
Globally, a hashish revolution is happening. It's a discontinuous, uneven revolution. But current years have seen the dramatic enlargement of medical legalization globally and the passage of nationwide adult-use legal guidelines in Uruguay and Canada. And that spells higher odds for ratification of the WHO's proposals. The WHO might current its proposals earlier than the United Nation's Commission on Narcotic Drugs as early as March 2019. At that time, the UN's 53 member nations will be capable of vote to simply accept or reject them.
It's straightforward to foretell how some member nations will vote on the proposals to reschedule hashish. Russia and China, each nations with harsh drug legal guidelines, will probably reject the WHO initiative. Canada and Uruguay will of course again it, particularly contemplating their legalization of hashish contravenes the present 1961 treaty. But different nations will possible help the WHO proposals as properly, particularly people who have just lately legalized medical use.
The X issue, nevertheless, is the United States. Back in 1961, it was on the U.S.'s insistence that the Single Convention positioned hashish underneath the heaviest management regime, Schedule IV. At the time, the U.S. argued the classification was essential as a result of how "widely abused" hashish was. And when researchers started to find the medical efficacy of hashish within the 1980s, because of the invention of the human endocannabinoid system, there was no worldwide effort to revise the 1961 treaty. This yr, the WHO needs UN nations to vote to right that discrepancy.

Q: Color overlay a responsive image with Compass? I don't have control over the HTML that I'm styling, so each img is nested in an li.  The li has padding, which cannot be changed to a margin because of a complex responsive grid system. And, yes, since it's responsive, the size of the image might change.
Here's the demo: Play with this gist on SassMeister.
Sass:
.active {
  border: grey solid 4px;
  opacity: .2;
 }

 ul {
  list-style:none;
}

li {
  width: 20%;
  padding: 5%;
  display: inline-block;
 }

img {
  width: 100%;
}

#thumbs {
  width: 100%;
}

HTML:

How can I make a color overlay effect on the .active image?
Background color applied to the li parent is messy because of the padding, and I am having trouble figuring out how to create a pseudo element that's the same size as the image.
Edit: I thought maybe I could achieve this with an offset border, see this gist on SassMeister.  But I would need to do some math to make the border width and offset exactly half the width (or height) of the image.  Can I do that with Sass?
Sass:
.active {
  border: grey solid 4px;
  opacity: .2;
  outline: 160px solid rgba(255,0,0,0.7);
  outline-offset: -160px;
 }

 ul {
  list-style:none;
}

li {
  width: 20%;
  padding: 5%;
  display: inline-block;
 }

img {
  width: 100%;
}

#thumbs {
  width: 100%;
}

HTML:

A: I got something working, try this on for size. It only works if you can add a class to the
.
Unfortunately, CSS doesn't allow any form of parent selection, so you can't say 'give me any
 containing an  with the class <active> :( That's javascript turf
Unless you want to stuff around adding overlays with javascript, why not apply the tint color you want to the parent element
, then replace the padding with margins so the colour doesn't stick out, as it's obscured by the image within. Then apply the opacity to the img.active like you have. I think you were on the right track with the first idea.
The only control you really get over opacity is either the element itself or it's background color, as in rgba(red, blue, green, opacity). This means if you apply the BG colour to the image, it will be obscured by this image, and as any changes to transparency effect the whole thing.

A PHOny Meal based on Lies and Deceit
The dish called 'Pho" (pronounced, 'Fuh', as in 'Fucking Stupid') is one of the greatest scams of all time.
If you've lived in the DC metro area, it is likely that at some point a pretentious hipster, complete with man-bun and little-girl jeans, has told you about his favorite Pho restaurant (these are typically named numerically, such as 'Pho 87', or 'Pho 12').
But before I continue, let me clarify something. Pho is actually a cultural delicacy. I mean, it's a great dish to enjoy if you're really in the mood for some stupid fucking grass-water. For a nominal fee, they'll even toss in some disgusting throwaway meats that kind of look like your dog's "Beggin' Strips". It's a great way to pay 11+ dollars and still be starving immediately after.
The creators of "Pho" somehow found a way to even downgrade the carbohydrate portion of the meal. What you'll get, is a batch of white slimy noodles that looks like a squid from the Jersey Shore. They'll sprinkle it with some grass, and then grace you with a Sriracha bottle, as if that somehow excuses the original insult of serving you that bowl of shit in the first place.
ACCUSATION: Anyone who actually claims to really like "Pho" is lying to you. I have been told that Pho is an "acquired taste". The truth is, anyone who claims to have acquired a taste for Pho, has done so by starving themselves for a while, and "acquired" the standards of a malnourished Taiwanese child (my sympathies to said children for having to put up with such foolishness in the first place).
People from D.C. love Pho. It's essentially the liberal, elitist, food of choice: overpriced, numerically regulated, and completely based on lies. I would go so far as to say that the DC area is one of the only places where Pho restaurants could remain in business, aside from places like San Fran and NYC, where enjoying stuff that sucks is pretty much the local custom.
MONEY-SAVER PRO TIP: If you really want Pho, you can just make your own by pulling some weeds out of your garden, tossing them in a water bowl, and microwaving for about a minute. Enjoy.

C. G. Ingraham, manager of the manufacturing lepartment of J. H. Haney & Company and thus active in the business circles of Hastings, is also a prominent figure in connection with political activity and has served his city as mayor. He was born in Jackson county, Missouri, on the 2d of December, 1868, and is a son of Jacob and Phoebe (Gallahue) Ingraham. The father was a farmer by occupation and at the time of the Civil war put aside all business and personal considerations to serve as a volunteer in an Ohio regiment of the Union army, rendering valiant aid to his country during the darkest hour in its history. Both he and his wife have now passed away.
C. G. Ingraham, who was one of a family of seven daughters and two sons, pursued his education in the public schools of Kansas, the family having removed from Missouri to that state during his early childhood. He supplemented his public school course by study in the normal college at Fort Scott, Kansas, and afterward learned the saddlery business, working at his trade in Fort Scott, Kansas. The year 1891 witnessed his arrival in Hastings, where he continued to represent the same firm. He remained for five years or until financial conditions, caused by the continued and excessive droughts in the state, compelled the closing of the shop. He then returned to Kansas and engaged in farming on the old homestead for five years. In 1900 he again entered the employ of J. H. Haney & Company and has since represented the firm, being one of its most trusted and its oldest employes in years of continuous service. He is thoroughly acquainted with every phase of the business and has worked his way steadily upward until he occupies the responsible position of manager of the manufacturing department.
On the 15th of August, 1900, Mr. Ingraham was united in marriage to Miss Effie M. Worthy, a daughter of William C. Worthy. They have one child, Mary Corrine. The religious faith of the family is that of the Methodist church. In his political views Mr. Ingraham is a democrat and is a recognized leader of his party in Hastings and this section of the state. He is now acting as chairman of the democratic county central committee and also as president of the Wilson & Marshall Club. He served for two terms as a member of the city council and was then elected mayor of Hastings, during which time he made an excellent record for efficiency and for businesslike methods in conducting municipal affairs. During his administration there was passed an ordinance requiring railroads to install and maintain at their own expense lights at the crossings. An excellent traffic ordinance was also passed, and over one hundred electroliers were installed, ninety intersection lights and one hundred and fourteen bracket lights, nine miles of new line and three hundred and fifty new services, while a reduction of almost fifty per cent was made in the electric rates. Mr. Ingraham also succeeded in reducing the indebtedness of the city, which at the time he took office on the 8th of April, 1913, amounted to twenty two thousand five hundred and seventy four dollars. Moreover, he so managed financial interests that the close of his term saw an excellent balance in the treasury. Many other evidences of his tangible public spirit might be cited, but these are sufficient to indicate that his administration was one which wrought for great good to the public. Mr. Ingraham is also a believer in woman suffrage. Fraternally he is a Royal Arch Mason and a Modern Woodman. He has a wide acquaintance and all who know him speak of him in terms of high regard. Even those who oppose him politically acknowledge his honesty and recognize his devotion to the public welfare. He is straightforward, reliable and thoroughly honest in all that he undertakes and he never hesitates to express his convictions clearly and unequivocally.

This Book Sucks
From DariaWiki
The cover to This Book Sucks
This Book Sucks is a 1993 book written by Sam Johnson and Chris Marcil as part of the Beavis and Butt-head canon. It is currently out of print and was the only book not reprinted in a 2004 omnibus.
Daria Morgendorffer is shown as one of the "Cast of Caricatchers" in a police lineup, along with Coach Buzzcut, Tom Anderson, Stewart Stevenson, and Mr. Van Driessen. Butt-head writes that "she really respects us, 'cause she said we're 'freaks of nature' once." Daria in the line up of "Cast of Caricatchers"
Later in the book, Daria appears in the "Hysterectomy of the World" as "Joan Van Arc", tied to a stake with kindling beneath her feet. Beavis is shown holding a torch, about to set her on fire.
Coach Buzzcut would refer to the buttmunches as having stolen her notebook and how later partiality burned pages of the said notebook were seen floating across the athletic field, blown from the roof of the building after some small explosions were heard. Later Butt-Head was apprehended while holding the surviving pages of the notebook which had an essay about human sexuality and several attempts at a forged "Daria Morgendorffer" signature. Despite actually holding the pages in his hands Butt-Head is denying any involvement..
Finally, we are shown a report Daria wrote for extra-credit in her Human Sciences class, entitled Teen Legends of Highland High: An Oral History. It was dated October 15 and consisted of an interview Daria conducted with Beavis and Butt-head, asking them about the urban legends of the school. She asked them if the killer-with-a-hook-for-a-hand legend was meant to be a tale to scare students away from having illicit sex; they agreed with her that "this legend means not to have illegal sex with the radio on... 'cause then Ozzy [Osbourne] will kill you".

Cryptologic Technician
Languages are more than just communication-they're cultural codes that need to be analyzed and in some cases, broken. As a Cryptologic Technician Interpretive (CTI) you're more than a linguist-you're a cultural expert, able to translate and interpret foreign communications. The Defense Language School in Monterey, California will fully immerse you in the language for your choice-from Mandarin, to Spanish, to Arabic to Russian. After, you'll travel the world collecting intelligence in support of the Navy. Ignorance can be a threat, but our CTIs defend by making sure we're always in the know.
Enlisted None
Cryptologic Technician Interpretive
Cryptologic Technicians Interpretive (CTIs), serve as the Navy's experts in linguistics (including Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Persian-Farsi, Russian and Spanish) and deciphering information in other languages. Their responsibilities include:
Collecting and analyzing foreign language communications of interest
Transcribing, translating and interpreting foreign language materials
Reporting highly technical information of strategic and tactical importance to fleet commanders and national intelligence agencies
Providing cultural and regional guidance in support of Navy, Joint Force, national and multinational needs
Operating sophisticated state-of-the-art electronic radio receivers, recording devices, computer terminals and associated peripherals in the communications signals environment
Cryptologic Technicians perform a variety of duties worldwide, at numerous overseas and stateside shore commands, aboard surface ships, aircraft and submarines and with Naval Special Warfare. They generally divide time between assignments ashore and afloat.
Cryptologic Technicians Interpretive can expect a clean, comfortable office-type or small technical laboratory-type environment while on shore duty and a variety of air, surface and subsurface platforms while on sea duty. Their work is of high interest to command and decision-making levels. It is mostly mental, involving foreign language materials.
As a CTI, you may work independently or as part of small, coordinated teams - ultimately under the supervision of Cryptologic Warfare Officers (four-year degree required) or Cyber Warfare Engineers (four-year degree required).
Training & Advancement
Upon completion of the initial 7-9 week training at Recruit Training Command Great Lakes (known as Boot Camp), you'll report for specialized training, including:
Class "A" School Phase I Defense Language Institute (27-64 weeks) in Monterey, CA, for comprehensive foreign language instruction.
After "A" school, CTIs are usually assigned to their respective Center of Excellence shore station. While assigned to these shore stations, CTIs are often required to perform temporary assignments aboard aircraft, surface ships and craft and submarines in support of unit commanders.
To learn more about the specific training path for Cryptologic Technicians Interpretive, locate a recruiter .
Promotion opportunities are regularly available but competitive and based on performance.
Advanced training as a Cryptologic Technician Interpretive may also be available during later stages of your career. CTIs will have the opportunity to attend annual training for language maintenance and to take intermediate and advanced foreign language training. For those with further leadership aspirations and a college degree, Officer roles may be available, providing opportunities to lead and train others.
Post-Service Opportunities
Specialized training received and work experience gained in the course of service can lead to valuable credentialing and occupational opportunities in related fields in the civilian sector.
Beyond offering access to professional credentials and certifications, Navy technical and operational training in the field of intelligence can translate to credit hours toward a bachelor's or associate degree through the American Council on Education .
You may also continue your education through undergraduate degree opportunities like the Navy College Program and Tuition Assistance and the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
A high school diploma or equivalent is required to become an Enlisted Sailor in the Navy. Those seeking a Cryptologic Technician Interpretive position, including all family members, must be U.S. citizens. Applicants must also meet eligibility requirements for a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information security clearance. Normal hearing is also required.
They should have exceptionally good character, the ability to learn foreign languages, above average writing and speaking skills, a good memory, curiosity, resourcefulness, an orientation toward ideas and information and the ability to keep accurate records and work with details. Adaptability to a wide range of work activities and environments and an interest in technology and willingness to acquire computerized skills are also important.
Applicants for this rating should be aware that the duties of a Cryptologic Technician Interpretive sometimes require assignment aboard surface vessels, submarines and aircraft. If otherwise physically qualified for submarine or aerial flight duty, applicants must affirm their willingness to serve aboard any such unit if assigned upon completion of language training.
General qualifications may vary depending upon whether you're currently serving , whether you've served before or whether you've never served before .
Part-Time Opportunities
There are part-time opportunities available as a Cryptologic Technician Interpretive.
Serving part-time as a Navy Reserve Sailor, your duties will be carried out during your scheduled drilling and training periods. During monthly drilling, Cryptologic Technicians Interpretive in the Navy Reserve typically work at a location close to their homes.

Take a moment to learn more about the general roles and responsibilities of Navy Reserve Sailors
Most of what you do in the Navy Reserve is considered training. The basic Navy Reserve commitment involves training a minimum of one weekend a month (referred to as drilling) and two weeks a year (referred to as Annual Training) - or the equivalent of that.
Cryptologic Technicians Interpretive in the Navy Reserve serve in an Enlisted role. Before receiving the ongoing professional training that comes with the job, initial training requirements must be met.
For current or former military Enlisted service members: prior experience satisfies the initial Recruit Training requirement - so you will not need to go through Boot Camp again.
For those without prior military experience, you will need to meet the initial Recruit Training requirement by attending Boot Camp for 7-9 weeks in Great Lakes, IL. This training course will prepare you for service in the Navy Reserve and count as your first Annual Training.

About Comedy of Errors
A word (or two) from the Bard
COMEDY OF ERRORS formed nebulously in the wake of the neo prog revival, members coming from in and around the Glasgow area,Scotland. Not the most typical band of the prog scene at that time, their individual version of that genre did find a welcome among fans who were as fiercely loyal as their numbers were small. Dissatisfied with prevailing tastes of the times,the band became as bored with stupid simplicity as much as with contrived cleverness. Putting musical integrity ahead of commercial success, they would, at the time, still have sold their granny for a record deal.
Various line up changes followed as did the music in different guises in a desperate attempt to be loved. Despite manfully gigging throughout Scotland,their appeal in true Tap tradition became,as they say, more 'selective'. 'Don't alienate the public' they were advised......'Yeah,otherwise we'd end up like Dimitri in La Condition Humaine' clearly casting aside the fondness for obscure literary references,courtesy of Mr Steve Martin.
It was clear that the band's time had not yet come.Agonising over the order of songs on a set list to be performed on a wet Tuesday night to four guys and a dog ( you didn't let the dog in for nothing,did you?) eventually took its toll.Capturing the indifference of the wider public,the ERRORS fizzled out like most bands, in a blaze of vaguely unsatisfactory rehearsals. No,it was not yet their time.
One man however kept faith in the original concept,dropped out the prog scene completely,stayed in his room, kept writing new material and revising songs and waited......and waited.....His name I don't recall but that's not important right now. Suffice to say it was hoped that these mini-rock symphonies would, at some point in the future, see the light of day and find an appreciative audience. And so it was, thanks to those who kept faith in the music, the new incarnation of COMEDY OF ERRORS came to release their debut album ' DISOBEY ', a difficult birth, a long time in the making, but well worth the wait.

In a recent decision, the Labour Court awarded an employee € 7,500 for working in excess of 48 hours a week, contrary to working time legislation. The complainant allegedly regularly checked and responded to emails outside of business hours, occasionally after midnight. The Labour Court reiterated it is the employer's responsibility to ensure that employees are not permitted to work beyond the statutory maximum period and that if an employer is aware that an employee is working excessive hours, must take steps to curtail this.

The Conduit between Technological Change and Regulation
Keywords technology, socio-technological change, money, windmill, data
Authors Marta Katarzyna Kołacz and Alberto Quintavalla
This article discusses how the law has approached disparate socio-technological innovations over the centuries. Precisely, the primary concern of this paper is to investigate the timing of regulatory intervention. To do so, the article makes a selection of particular innovations connected with money, windmills and data storage devices, and analyses them from a historical perspective. The individual insights from the selected innovations should yield a more systematic view on regulation and technological innovations. The result is that technological changes may be less momentous, from a regulatory standpoint, than social changes.

Right to Access Information as a Collective-Based Approach to the GDPR's Right to Explanation in European Law
Keywords automated decision-making, right to access information, right to explanation, prohibition on discrimination, public information
Authors Joanna Mazur
This article presents a perspective which focuses on the right to access information as a mean to ensure a non-discriminatory character of algorithms by providing an alternative to the right to explanation implemented in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). I adopt the evidence-based assumption that automated decision-making technologies have an inherent discriminatory potential. The example of a regulatory means which to a certain extent addresses this problem is the approach based on privacy protection in regard to the right to explanation. The Articles 13-15 and 22 of the GDPR provide individual users with certain rights referring to the automated decision-making technologies. However, the right to explanation not only may have a very limited impact, but it also focuses on individuals thus overlooking potentially discriminated groups. Because of this, the article offers an alternative approach on the basis of the right to access information. It explores the possibility of using this right as a tool to receive information on the algorithms determining automated decision-making solutions. Tracking an evolution of the interpretation of Article 10 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Right and Fundamental Freedoms in the relevant case law aims to illustrate how the right to access information may become a collective-based approach towards the right to explanation. I consider both, the potential of this approach, such as its more collective character e.g. due to the unique role played by the media and NGOs in enforcing the right to access information, as well as its limitations.

Personal Data, Algorithms and Profiling in the EU: Overcoming the Binary Notion of Personal Data through Quantum Mechanics
Keywords data protection, GDPR, bigdata, algorithm, quantum mechanics
Authors Alessandro El Khoury
In this paper I propose to analyse the binary notion of personal data and highlight its limits, in order to propose a different conception of personal data. From a risk regulation perspective, the binary notion of personal data is not particularly fit for purpose, considering that data collection and information flows are tremendously big and complex. As a result, the use of a binary system to determine the applicability of EU data protection law may be a simplistic approach. In an effort of bringing physics and law together, certain principles elaborated within the quantum theory are surprisingly applicable to data protection law, and can be used as guidance to shed light on many of today's data complexities. Lastly, I will discuss the implications and the effects that certain processing operations may have on the possibility of qualifying certain data as personal. In other terms, how the chances to identify certain data as personal is dependent upon the processing operations that a data controller might put in place.

Fostering Worker Cooperatives with Blockchain Technology: Lessons from the Colony Project
Keywords blockchain, collaborative economy, cooperative governance, decentralised governance, worker cooperatives
Authors Morshed Mannan
In recent years, there has been growing policy support for expanding worker ownership of businesses in the European Union. Debates on stimulating worker ownership are a regular feature of discussions on the collaborative economy and the future of work, given anxieties regarding the reconfiguration of the nature of work and the decline of standardised employment contracts. Yet, worker ownership, in the form of labour-managed firms such as worker cooperatives, remains marginal. This article explains the appeal of worker cooperatives and examines the reasons why they continue to be relatively scarce. Taking its cue from Henry Hansmann's hypothesis that organisational innovations can make worker ownership of firms viable in previously untenable circumstances, this article explores how organisational innovations, such as those embodied in the capital and governance structure of Decentralised (Autonomous) Organisations (D(A)Os), can potentially facilitate the growth of LMFs. It does so by undertaking a case study of a blockchain project, Colony, which seeks to create decentralised, self-organising companies where decision-making power derives from high-quality work. For worker cooperatives, seeking to connect globally dispersed workers through an online workplace, Colony's proposed capital and governance structure, based on technological and game theoretic insight may offer useful lessons. Drawing from this pre-figurative structure, self-imposed institutional rules may be deployed by worker cooperatives in their by-laws to avoid some of the main pitfalls associated with labour management and thereby, potentially, vitalise the formation of the cooperative form.

Privatising Law Enforcement in Social Networks: A Comparative Model Analysis
Keywords user generated content, public and private responsibilities, intermediary liability, hate speech and fake news, protection of fundamental rights
Authors Katharina Kaesling
These days, it appears to be common ground that what is illegal and punishable offline must also be treated as such in online formats. However, the enforcement of laws in the field of hate speech and fake news in social networks faces a number of challenges. Public policy makers increasingly rely on the regu-lation of user generated online content through private entities, i.e. through social networks as intermediaries. With this privat-ization of law enforcement, state actors hand the delicate bal-ancing of (fundamental) rights concerned off to private entities. Different strategies complementing traditional law enforcement mechanisms in Europe will be juxtaposed and analysed with particular regard to their respective incentive structures and consequential dangers for the exercise of fundamental rights. Propositions for a recommendable model honouring both pri-vate and public responsibilities will be presented.

Part II Private Justice
ADR-Rooted ODR Design in Europe
A Bet for the Future
Journal International Journal of Online Dispute Resolution, Issue 1-2 2018
Keywords ODR, dispute system design, European law, redesign of ADR systems, artificial intelligence
Authors Fernando Esteban de la Rosa
The new European regulatory framework has a greater significance than it expressly declares, both for the development of online dispute resolution (ODR) in Europe and for the structure of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) entities of the Member States. A close reading of the ADR Directive reveals an implicit but clear mandate for the development and intensive use of ODR tools by certified ADR entities that could lead to the creation of new ODR platforms. The new ADR/ODR regulatory framework shows a clear tendency to produce important transformations in the traditional ADR structure in every Member State. This article aims to identify criteria for the development of ODR in Europe and to discover the European law's implicit mandates related to the redesign of the ADR structure in the Member States, while assessing the role of the Member States, the ADR entities and the European Union itself.

Using Technology and ADR Methods to Enhance Access to Justice
Keywords ODR, ADR, mediation, online court, e-court, consumer ADR, CADR, CDR, ombudsman
Authors Pablo Cortes
This article discusses how technology and extrajudicial processes can provide a solution to the access-to-justice problem for self-represented litigants. The article first observes the need for efficient dispute resolution processes based on a wider concept of access to justice and argues for greater integration amongst courts and extrajudicial bodies, especially in the consumer sphere where dispute resolution bodies are currently undergoing an institutionalization process as a result of recent EU legislation. Accordingly, it is argued that access to justice for consumers will only be achieved if they have access to either an accountable and effective extrajudicial scheme that offers adjudication or a truly user-friendly and accessible online court that incorporates alternative dispute resolution techniques as the United Kingdom has endeavoured to deliver. To that end, this article examines the policy options for the English Online Court with a particular focus on the challenges faced by litigants in person. Finally, this article submits that dispute system design changes need to be informed by empirical research and a holistic policy strategy on dispute resolution.

Part I Courts and ODR
Recent Development of Internet Courts in China
Keywords Internet court, ODR, AI, blockchain, regulation, fourth party
Authors Xuhui Fang
Online dispute resolution (ODR) is growing out of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and pushing the envelope for resolving online disputes in the Internet courts in China. Recently, the Chinese Internet courts admitted blockchain-based evidence and applied artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, big data and virtual reality (VR) technology. The rapid development of Internet courts in China has implications for regulating AI-related technologies, which are playing the role of the 'fourth party,' and the interplay between the 'third party' and the 'fourth party.'

Reputational Feedback Systems and Consumer Rights
Improving the European Online Redress System
Keywords reputational feedback systems, consumer's protection, dispute resolution, ADR, ODR, enforceability, ecommerce, European redress system small claims
Authors Aura Esther Vilalta Nicuesa
The European Union single market needs to tackle an outstanding issue to boost competitiveness and growth: a trust-based redress framework that ensures the effectiveness of consumers' rights. The current disparities among dispute resolution mechanisms, added to the fact that in practice many do not guarantee participation and enforceability, are serious obstacles to this goal. Trust and the integration of certain dispute avoidance tools added to the regulation of some common enforcement mechanisms are key issues in the field of consumer protection. The goal of this article is to offer some insights within the context of the European Union legislative proposals aimed at improving the current redress system.

Jackie Fairweather was one of world's premier triathletes and endurance athletes. Jackie's impact on Triathlon, Athletics and High-Performance Sports was more than just winning a World Title or Commonwealth Games Bronze medal, she truly had a passion to make a difference in people's lives.
In 1996 Jackie became the World Triathlon champion, with a record time of 1 hour 50 minutes and 52 seconds in Ohio, United States. She also won the World Duathlon Championships in 1996 to become the only person ever to win both World Titles in the same year. Jackie went on to claim a bronze medal at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester and again in 2005 at the Gold Coast marathon.
Known for her training, coaching and mentoring of triathlon, she also played a major role in the triathlon community including, Triathlon Australia National Elite Selector, International Triathlon Union (ITU) Athletes Committee athlete member (1998-2002), ITU Women's Committee member (1997–1998) and Triathlon Australia Board Member (first ever athlete representative) (1998 – 2001). Jackie also held the position of Head Coach at the Australian Institute of Sport Triathlon Program. Fairweather was inducted into Triathlon Australia's Hall of Fame in 2012, as all-time great of the sport in Australia.
Jackie Fairweather was a World Champion Australian triathlete and long-distance runner. Fairweather began competing in triathlon in 1992, and won the elite Australian National Series in her first season. She spent eight years as a professional triathlete and in 1996 she became ITU World Triathlon Champion in Cleveland, Ohio, setting a championship record time of 1 hour 50 minutes 52 seconds. She also won the ITU World Duathlon Championships in 1996 to become the only person ever to win both world titles in the same year.
Fairweather won the ITU Duathlon World Championships again in 1999, but narrowly missed repeating the double in the Triathlon World Championship, after finishing 2nd to Loretta Harrop.
Fairweather collected further World Championship silver medals in 1995 and 1997, and won the bronze medal in the marathon in the 2002 Commonwealth Games (after finishing 11th in her first ever marathon in Boston).
Fairweather was known for her analytical approach to the sport and tenacity to try something different. She helped establish the Junior and Under23 World Championship format, with clear age divisions and a sprint distance for juniors.
And she was also on the ground for a new era of ITU, web broadcasting, jumping on air at a race in 2004, and commentating for the next two seasons.
Fairweather was also just the second athlete to be a member of the ITU executive board, from which she served from 2004 to 2008. Jackie was also the inaugural coach of the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) Triathlon program between 2001 and 2005.

How does a solar company based in Ireland break into the competitive U.S. market? With as big of a head start as possible, said Kingspan Energy's Gavin Blower.
That acquired company—American Solar & Alternative Power—was based in Stamford, Connecticut, thus where Kingspan Energy set up its new North American headquarters. The company primarily works on commercial solar projects in the Northeast, aided by another starting advantage: a family of commercial buildings constructed under the Kingspan name.
The Kingspan parent company, founded in Ireland in 1965, provides building solutions for the construction industry worldwide, including insulation panels, roofing and solar power. Kingspan Group first entered the United States in 2001 and U.S. business represents 20% of the company's global revenue. When Kingspan Energy came to Connecticut in 2014, there was already a large footprint of Kingspan customers present.
Blower said he finds many of Kingspan Energy's customers are passionate about reducing their carbon footprint and increasing energy savings. The Kingspan Group is just as passionate about its own energy efforts.
Working on a global level has given Kingspan Energy a unique view on solar installation.
Kingspan Energy's future U.S. plans involve growing in the Northeast and other solar-strong states while also not forgetting about its enthusiastic commercial customers.
I'd love to know why Kingspan sold residential solar water systems that we had installed and now there are no company's that maintain the system. I'll soon be throwing out a $10,000 system that we've almost had for 7 years. What a waste of money.

Restaurants and bars can be huge parts of the culture of a city. As has often been written, eating is one of the few things we all must do, so it's natural that restaurants have evolved into social gathering places for friends, families, and visitors. It's in the diversity, quality, and experiences of those restaurants and bars that a community can sometimes find its sense of place. These places are often where you find the "vibe" of a town. At Volume One we've always been passionate about the restaurant scene, and have done our best for more than 16 years to introduce thousands of residents and travelers to both new and long-time local favorites throughout Eau Claire, Menomonie, Chippewa Falls, and points in between. Last September, with the input and partnership of dozens of area restaurants, we launched the Chippewa Valley's first Restaurant Week – 10 days of special menus, deals, events, and contests that drew several thousand people hungry for something fresh in our dining scene (and we'll do it all again this year, Sept. 21-30). Well today, tucked here inside this issue of Volume One, we release the all-new and improved Eat Scene / Night Out guide. After more than 10 years working on this publication, we've made another big investment into the restaurant community by upping the quality, look, and usability of the guide from back to front, in both print and online. It's in a handy, keep-around magazine format here, and in a searchable and filterable format for both desktop and mobile on our website at VolumeOne.org/restaurants and VolumeOne.org/bars. We challenge you to use these guides to re-explore your surroundings. Find a place you've never been. Maybe even take a short road trip. In general, get outside your comfort zone and experience something new. It's good for you, good for the establishments, and good for the community. We'll see you out there.
