IMPORTANT: I have just received the following statement for release, from a Google spokesperson: "We have always believed that it's important to differentiate between different types of government requests. We already publish (http://www.google.com/transparencyreport/userdatarequests/US/) criminal requests separately from National Security Letters. Lumping the two categories together would be a step back for users. Our request to the government is clear: to be able to publish aggregate numbers of national security requests, including FISA disclosures, separately." [I agree with Google's stance on this matter. - Lauren]

If you haven't seen it yet, Google's latest X project is Project Loon, which aims to bring internet access to remote parts of the globe via a mesh network of stratospheric, solar-powered, navigable balloons. The technology video, below, is quite cool.

The BBC's 5Live had me on this morning (2a New York time!) to talk -- once again -- about the supposed contretemps about Google and taxes in the UK. My opener: This story is absurd. The scandal here is with the legislators and diplomats who need to do their job and reform their tax laws, not with companies that do what they are supposed to do -- and what every taxpayer does: minimize taxes.
As I crawled into bed, the BBC called and said the response was "amazing" and asked me to come back on at 3a New York time. I said let me sleep. As they should let this story sleep.

Allow me to get a bit journowonky now and examine some of the lessons newspapers should learn from the success of Waze
1. Waze built a platform that lets the public share what it knows without the need for gatekeepers or mediators — that is, media. That’s how it keeps content costs at a minimum and scales around the world.
2. Waze does that first by automatically using the technology in our pockets to — gasp! — track us live so it can tell how fast we are going and thus where the traffic jams are. And we happily allow that because of the return we get — freedom from traffic jams and faster routes to where we’re going.
3. Waze does that next by easily enabling commuters to share alerts — traffic, stalled car, traffic-light camera, police, hazard, etc — ahead. It also lets commuters edit each others’ alerts (“that stalled car is gone now”).
4. Waze rewards users wh... more »

When the government insists on even hiding the number of FISA/NSL data demands that they make, it means that they aren't afraid of terrorists -- THEY ARE AFRAID OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
2013-06-11 18:43:18 (26 comments, 18 reshares, 120 +1s)
I trust Waze. I've had to learn that in a few traffic jams. Now every time Waze tells me to turn, I turn. I've missed horrendous traffic jams that way. I've learned new routes to work and home I'd never imagined. I've seen parts of the countryside that are new to me. Waze is wonderful. Here's hoping that Google keeps and nurtures every bit of wonderfulness.
More than a dozen years ago, I wrote a business plan for a Waze-like social traffic service. Our local traffic services sucked; still do. A long-ago colleague of mine said his rule was to go wherever the radio traffic reports said there was a jam because (a) by the time they found out about it, the jam was gone and (b) every other idiot was listening to the radio and avoiding that spot themselves. He was right.
I envisioned a service in which commuters would program our routes in and then report on how l... more »

Just what I wanted to see from Google: A request to the government to reveal at least the number of secret FISA demands. It's a first, small step toward transparency (now that Ed Snowden took a giant leap toward openness). Your turn, USG.

Here's my problem with this David Brooks column: our knowledge of Edward Snowden, the NSA leaker, is quite fragmentary thus far. This doesn't bother Brooks, it helps him: he fills in the gaps with his own opinions, and voila, you have a tendentious narrative in which Snowden is not only symbolic of, but literally responsible for, the decline of the American social compact. Whatever you think of Snowden, he's got enough problems and has caused enough trouble already.

NSA "Whistleblower" Snowden: Hero? Fool? Traitor? Or ... ?
http://lauren.vortex.com/archive/001043.html
Oops. I'd thought there was a good probability I could get through today without having to post again about the ever more confusing NSA mess.
Not a chance, as it turns out.
This saga is now taking on the various aspects of a 60s-era spy spoof film, and its bizarre twists and turns are making David Lynch's 1984 production of "Dune" look clear and easily comprehensible by comparison.
Here's where we stand.
Word is out that the NSA leaker, "whistleblower," or whatever your preferred terminology may be, is Edward Snowden, a 29-year-old former CIA tech assistant who (until very recently) was a contract worker at NSA on behalf of various outside firms, like Dell and Booz Allen.

I'm appalled that I just got email from someone flacking for DuckDuckGo exploiting the current NSA story. I guess there is no solidarity in Silicon Valley. To quote it:
"Since you are covering PRISM, you'll be interested to hear about DuckDuckGo: We're a search engine (like Google) that doesn't track its users. Our privacy policy simply states that we do not collect or share personal information, which makes us of no interest to government agencies, since we don't have any data to overturn. This approach has lead to coverage on CNBC, TIME, and the Washington Post. We'd like to tell you more about our privacy-by-design approach and how it keeps users safe from violations like PRISM. Do you have time to connect this week?"
Well, dandy for you. But the problem here isn't Google and using this to try to attack your competition is unseemly. The ... more »

Internet Shattered: Spies, Spooks, and Disgust
http://lauren.vortex.com/archive/001042.html
I've spent literally my entire adult life (and even before) working on Internet technologies and policies, one way or another, reaching back to early ARPANET days at UCLA -- a project rooted in Department of Defense funding, it's worthwhile to remember.
Over that time, there have been many related high points and low points, events joyful or upsetting, but never -- not even close -- have I felt so completely, utterly disgusted with a situation associated with the Net as I am today.
The apparently true facts we're learning about our own government's spying abuses against its own citizens are bad enough (http://lauren.vortex.com/archive/001040.html). But we also are faced with stomaching the incredibly hypocritical and disingenuous ... more »

Tonight I had the pleasure of seeing the Dance Connection Palo Alto "Let's Dance!" show at Foothill College. So many styles represented, and so many talented young dancers.
And a great "auto-awesome" opportunity. Yeah, I went a little nuts here, but you must admit the results are fun!
There are two more performances tomorrow if you are in the 'hood. Bring your camera. Otherwise, get out there and find something else that needs to be awesome'd!

Government's Secrets: A Discussion of Principles
America is supposed to be a nation governed by principles, which are undergirded by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and carried into law. The discussion about the government and its capture of our data should be held on the level of principles.
* Privacy: Our direct and personal communication in any medium and by any means — mail, email, phone, VOIP, Twitter DM, and any technology yet to be invented — should be considered private, as our physical mail is, and subject to government intervention only through lawful warrant. That is not the case. Thus it is quite reasonable to be disturbed at the news that government can demand and receive communication we believe to be private. Government may call itself the protector of our privacy but it is our privacy’s worst enemy.

Yesterday at the World Newspaper Congress, I quoted Globe & Mail editor John Stackhouse saying that pageview traffic fell 40% after they imposed a pay wall. He buttonholed me today to emphasize that that was for certain content on certain days. In other words, that was worst case. Today he emailed me more details.
He says unique users increased. Pageviews are about 12% below their December 2012 peak. More, quoting him:
According to Comscore, since the October launch, our audience and traffic to globeandmail.com have in fact grown, and over the last three months we’ve seen several increases to monthly unique visitors, including:
· - Up 3.3% to globeandmail.com overall
· - 13.4% increase to News
· - A jump by 22.8% to Life and 30.4% growth to ROB
· - Steady climb of 4.8% to Sports

My 2 year Battle with Giardiasis
This is a tiny little protozoan parasite, giardia lamblia, that looks harmless enough... but don't be fooled. It's a heavy hitter. It can wreck your life, especially if you're immunocompromised. You can read more about it here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giardia_lamblia
Giardia colonize and reproduce in the small intestines of several vertebrates, including humans, causing giardiasis. Their life cycle alternates between an actively swimming trophozoite and an infective, resistant cyst. To complicate things, the standard method of testing for this is done through stool testing, and the parasite is only detectable if the parasite is in a specific stage of its life cycle, and so many times the tests are returned negative when the parasite is present. So the best practice for testing for giardia, if suspected, is to run multiple s... more »

To the Dauntless Lensmen
The Sun-Times was wrong and right when it fired its entire photo department.
Wrong: Images are more important than ever. Look at this page: Medium practically forces us to include a photo with every post. On Google+ posts sans images get little love. This week at my J-school, a dean emphasized that every item we publish should come illustrated.
Right: There are more photographers now than ever — all of us taking pictures with our phones and cameras and sharing them for everyone, including newspaper editors, to see. News doesn’t wait for an official staff photographer to show up. A single event doesn’t need to be captured by a hundred lenses. And besides, times are tough; something always has to go, right?
But the paper did it wrong. I would have changed the definition of a photo department and a photographer — and I have litt... more »
