Disclose to tell. A data design framework for alternative narratives.
Modes of access and tools to manipulate data have brought marginalized actors to collaboratively create alternative narratives to those delivered by dominant power structures. Non-profit organizations and activist groups increasingly base their campaigns on data, using visualization as an agency tool for change. Data-driven alternative narratives counteract the hegemony of information, questioning the status quo and promoting the non-flattening of the data society, seeking to strengthen democracy. Data visualization is a decisive adversarial tool (DiSalvo, 2012) for turning data into alternative narratives. Translating data into visual representations for alternative narratives is an activist practice that requires a critical approach to data to make a political position evident and coherent.
Alternative narratives visualization archive
This is an open, ongoing, and collaborative archive of data visualizations in online projects that showcase alternative narratives. It seeks to encourage the creation of other narratives to those that dominate and to promote discussion of existing ones. If you know of a project, please add it.
Humanidades contra la barbarie: «Dominar los algoritmos es como dominar las armas nucleares»
¿Se imaginan un gobierno que registre cómo hemos cruzado la calle o si hemos pagado con retraso una factura, para restarnos puntos del carné ciudadano gracias al cual accedemos a servicios básicos? ¿O trabajar en una empresa que pueda despedirnos de modo fulminante, porque un algoritmo ha detectado que vamos demasiado al baño y eso resta productividad? ¿Qué? ¿Otra periodista recurriendo al tópico de 1984, Un mundo feliz o Black Mirror? No. Lo primero ya sucede en China y lo segundo, en los almacenes de Amazon.
Como desgrana la matemática Cathy O’Neil en Armas de destrucción matemática (recién publicado por Capitán Swing), muchos bancos, aseguradoras y auditoras «usan algoritmos canallas» para engullir billetes y éxito empresarial, sin reparar en los daños colaterales humanos. «El problema es que los beneficios acaban actuando como un valor sustitutivo de la verdad y afectan a las personas en momentos cruciales de la vida», escribe O’Neil.
Porque, ¿de quién es la responsabilidad en caso de que el algoritmo del vehículo autómata tenga que elegir a quién salvar (y a quién no) en un accidente fortuito?
llama Marina Garcés a la emancipación frente a la servidumbre y la delegación tecnológicas. «Lo que podemos hacer, siempre, es autoorganizarnos. No sólo en el ámbito digital, sino en todos. Una sociedad incapaz de tomar decisiones en colectivo está expuesta a cualquier forma de dominación, aunque cada individuo viva en la ficción de creerse libre».
Breve historia de Fernando Higueras, el arquitecto cavernícola que ideó Lanzarote
«Siempre fui de la oposición. En mi época de estudiante se llevaba la asepsia de Mies van der Rohe (de edificios mínimos, sencillos) y a mí me llamaban barroco», contaba Higueras. «En contra de lo que decía Mies – ‘menos es más’ – a mí siempre me parecía que menos era menos y más, más».
A partir de 1980, Higueras tuvo un parón constructivo, sin apenas encargos y corrió el rumor de que había abandonado la profesión para dedicarse a la pornografía en su cueva particular. Como él mismo reconocería en una entrevista en El Mundo, «en este sótano grabé 2.717 películas. ¡Joder! Mira que me lo he pasado bien en la vida. Traía gente, follábamos y hablábamos ante la cámara. Tenía un zoom buenísimo». En esa misma entrevista afirmó que entre los 50 y los 65 años tomó cocaína a diario. «La pena es que me dejó de hacer efecto. Yo nunca la dejé a ella».
‘Rascainfiernos’, la ejemplar vivienda enterrada de Fernando Higueras
La casa subterránea ofrece las condiciones perfectas; se disfruta de un silencio absoluto y por la inercia térmica del terreno la eficiencia energética del hábitat es extraordinaria. La temperatura ambiental es muy estable durante todo el año entre 16 y 26 grados, manteniéndose fresca en verano y cálida en invierno.

“Como mujer, de izquierdas y feminista, me sentí profundamente huérfana cuando tuve a mi hijo”
¿cómo unas prácticas tan fundamentales para la reproducción humana como gestar, parir y dar de mamar son tan menospreciadas? A partir de esta mirada tenemos que repensar todo ello.
La maternidad es un hecho que nos incumbe a todos, no es una responsabilidad individual. Es una responsabilidad colectiva.
No se puede abordar la maternidad comprando ese discurso que dice que la maternidad es un lastre, como si la maternidad fuera el problema, cuando el problema es el mercado y este sistema.
La rebelión de las feministas de los años 60 y 70 fue necesaria porque la maternidad, a lo largo de los siglos, ha sido utilizada como instrumento de control del cuerpo de las mujeres, pero en este rebelarse también se cayó en un cierto discurso antimaternal, antirreproductivo.
A las mujeres además nos han vendido una maternidad de color de rosa, un postparto de película en el que a los dos días la madre está perfecta a nivel físico y emocional, y es una gran mentira. La maternidad implica muchas contradicciones, cambios en la relación de pareja, en cómo conciliar o cómo encajar esa maternidad con el ámbito personal y profesional. La maternidad es todo menos fácil y de ahí que sea vivida con tanta culpa por las mujeres.
la derecha es quien más ha hecho bandera de la maternidad y la familia. Sin embargo, lo hace desde un punto de vista reaccionario, apelando a una maternidad que es utilizada como instrumento de control del cuerpo de las mujeres. Y además, lo hace de una manera totalmente hipócrita, porque nos dice, a las mujeres, que tengamos criaturas pero promueve unas políticas socioeconómicas contrarias a la crianza, una políticas que nos dificultan poder tener hijos, ya que precariza el mercado laboral, recorta en servicios públicos, permite la especulación inmobiliaria. La izquierda debería desenmascarar esa supuesta promaternidad de la derecha con un discurso propio, feminista y emancipador.
El privilegio de fingir ser listo
En todos los países, sin excepción, los chicos son mucho más propensos al bullshit que las chicas, algo que no creo que tome a nadie de improviso. La diferencia de género varía muchísimo de un país a otro, sin embargo; en Inglaterra las mujeres son mucho más honestas que los hombres, mientras que en Estados Unidos los varones sólo son ligeramente más fantasiosos.
Si miramos por clase social, las diferencias son todavía más pronunciadas. Los estudiantes de clase alta (en el cuartil superior de renta) son sistemáticamente más deshonestos que los el resto. Los del cuartil inferior son sistemáticamente más sinceros.
Estas ventajas, además, no pueden solucionarse con más educación; mentir como un bellaco es cosa de clase y genero.
Librem Should Have Followed My «Escalation of Communication»
That is, refine your ideas by iterating over them based on the feedback from audiences of increasing publicity. You get practice defending the ideas, and in all likelihood, genuinely reassess and improve them.
¿Cómo hacer un buen diagnóstico colectivo?
Insisto mucho en que los datos sean recogidos realmente en un Trabajo de Campo en vez de sacar conclusiones basadas en los prejuicios que ya tenían antes de realizar la investigación.
En mi post “Cuando importa más el proceso” doy varios argumentos para justificar por qué prefiero el trabajo amateur de las personas implicadas en el reto, en vez de apelar a diseñadores profesionales: “Si bien el resultado final puede que se resienta un poco, el aprendizaje vital adquirido en el proceso compensa con creces, y contribuye a una percepción global de la experiencia muy superior a si el trabajo se asume por profesionales de fuera de la organización”.
Obligo a que todos los miembros del equipo tengan que hacer una «presentación individual» de los datos que han recopilado para que entiendan que nadie va a pasar inadvertido si no ha dedicado tiempo a investigar y hacer el trabajo de campo. Es una forma de asegurar equidad participativa pero también, implicación individual.
Voy a terminar con una idea que me parece sumamente importante: el Taller de Síntesis se hace para diagnosticar un reto y no para buscar soluciones. Es muy saludable, como metodología de resolución de problemas, separar el momento del diagnóstico del de la búsqueda de soluciones.Voy a terminar con una idea que me parece sumamente importante: el Taller de Síntesis se hace para diagnosticar un reto y no para buscar soluciones.

Fluxday: A no-fuss open source productivity tracker
I was in a similar situation back in 2012. I really wanted to understand how my employees were spending their time. Were they focusing on tasks of the highest priority? How much time did it take them to find solutions? How close were we to achieving our goals? Were the projects I assigned progressing at the right pace? Could I optimize and streamline some of my teams? Do my team goals align with my final goal? It was an endless line of questions all begging just for one solution: A productivity management application.
Consideraciones sobre el coche eléctrico y la infraestructura necesaria
La existencia del coche eléctrico no es novedosa. A principios del siglo XX y antes de que el fordismo hubiese mecanizado sus cadenas de producción y popularizado el coche privado de combustión interna, ya existían vehículos eléctricos que funcionaban relativamente bien, con baterías de ferro-niquel o de ácido plomo con autonomías ya cercanas a los 100 km.
Sin embargo, el coche de combustión interna terminó ganando un indiscutible terreno, por capacidad, autonomía, versatilidad y mucha mayor ubicuidad de suministro (la lata de gasolina y el surtidor), cuando la red eléctrica era paupérrima, tenía muy poco alcance y nula capacidad para recargar baterías en cualquier lugar.

Los viejos ThinkPad son tan buenos que hay gente que los destripa para ponerlos al día a lo bestia
Los ThinkPad X60 y X61 son máquinas casi legendarias, reverenciadas y amadas por usuarios que las utilizaron (o las siguen usando) con pasión. Aquellos diseños acabaron abandonándose por parte del fabricante, que aun sin descuidar la familia ha preferido aprovechar otras decisiones de diseño y componentes.
Es aquí donde entran los responsables de 51nb, un grupo de usuarios en China apasionados por esos viejos ThinkPad y obsesionados por ponerlos al día. Tanto que han conseguido convertir su afición en negocio, y ahora transforman estos viejos portátiles y los rejuvenecen con mejores pantallas, procesadores, más memoria RAM que nunca y conectividad Gigabit Ethernet. Viejos por fuera, nuevecitos por dentro.
How to update a URL without reloading the page using vanilla JavaScript
The pushState() method let’s you update the URL and create a new item in the browser history without reloading the page. Because the history is updated, this new URL can be changed with the browser’s forward and backward buttons as well.
Here’s how it works.
history.pushState(state, pageTitle, url);
Compress PDF files on Linux
Ghostscript is a great tool for compressing PDFs. In our tests it delivered the best compression ratio. Simply run:
gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/screen -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=out.pdf in.pdf
-dPDFSETTINGS can be any of:
/screen : low-resolution output, lowest output size
/ebook : medium-resolution output, medium output size
/printer OR /prepress : high-resolution with maximum output size
Run the Shrinkpdf script:
./shrinkpdf in.pdf out.pdf
The script is almost same as the explicit gs command above. However, it has one advantage – it does an output file size check.
Endgame for Assange
most journalists seem to have agreed that there is a mad conspiracy between Trump and Putin, with Assange as intermediary and helper. At the end of November, the Guardian claimed that Paul Manafort, head of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, had met Assange three times in London: in 2013, 2015 and 2016. Fidel Narváez, the then Ecuadorian consul in London, has formally denied this. WikiLeaks initiated legal proceedings against the Guardian and Manafort publicly and denied the meetings. His name does not appear in the Ecuadorian Embassy’s guest book and there are no images of him entering or leaving one of the world’s best-monitored buildings.
The New York Times recently reported that there had been several talks in 2017 between Ecuadorian President Lenín Moreno and the now notorious Paul Manafort. Manafort had travelled to Quito to boost China’s investment in Ecuador. Allegedly, at the meeting with Moreno, there was also talk about Assange, about a deal to extradite Assange to the US in exchange for Ecuador’s debt relief. Assange jokes; wouldn’t it be ironic that the IMF, the International Monetary Fund, of all people, is now deciding on his future fate. He laughs, tormented, in the end the big money always wins. We notice that his persecution by the USA is no longer a secret, everything is open and nothing happens; It is exasperating.

Syntastic. Syntax checking hacks for vim
Syntastic is a syntax checking plugin for Vim created by Martin Grenfell. It runs files through external syntax checkers and displays any resulting errors to the user. This can be done on demand, or automatically as files are saved. If syntax errors are detected, the user is notified and is happy because they didn’t have to compile their code or execute their script to find them.
Abandonware
Abandonware is a product, typically software, ignored by its owner and manufacturer, and for which no support is available. Although such software is usually still under copyright, the owner may not be tracking copyright violations.
In intellectual rights context, abandonware is a software (or hardware) special case of the general concept of orphan works.
La economía colaborativa y sus impactos sociales en la era del capitalismo digita
«La economía colaborativa (sharing economy) es un conjunto heterogéneo y rápidamente cambiante de modos de producción y consumo por el que los agentes comparten de forma innovadora activos, bienes o servicios infrautili-zados, a cambio o no de un valor monetario, valiéndose para ello de plataformas sociales digitales y, en particular, de internet»
Estas definiciones generales acogen una amplia gama de prácticas, por lo que coexisten con otras propuestas terminológicas que tratan de representar aspectos más específicos de algunos de estos modelos de negocio. Por ejemplo, peer economy o P2P economy enfatiza que las transacciones se producen entre particulares; «economía de acceso» se refiere a los modelos económicos basa-dos en el alquiler y el uso compartido; y «economía a demanda» (gig economy) define a las plataformas que canalizan el encargo de microtareas.
En esta misma línea, el informe de NESTA, Making sense of the Collabora-tive Economy (Stokes et al. 2014) colabora en la construcción teórica del concepto, profundizando en el estudio de los diferentes modelos y sistemas que consideran parte del mismo. El informe alude a la economía colaborativa como «una nueva forma de pensar acerca de los negocios, el intercambio, el valor y la comunidad» (2014: 7), de modo que reconocen implícitamente su carácter de «constructo teórico». Quizás por ello su definición del paradigma se estructura en base a una serie de condiciones: 1) implica el uso de internet, 2) conecta redes distribuidas de personas o recursos, 3) aprovecha recursos infrautilizados, 4) promueve interacciones significativas basadas en la confianza, 5) promueve la apertura, la inclusión y los comunes.
Accessibility Tip: Empty alt Attributes
Images with only visual value should have an empty alt attribute set on them. Omitting the alt attribute makes most screen readers read out the entire image URL and providing an alt attribute when the image is for visual purposes only is just as useless.
Enspiral Handbook
The book is broken up into chapters and sub-chapters. The chapters are:
- Agreements are the official legislation that governs the Enspiral network. Changing these requires a formal process.
- Guides explain in practical terms how we do stuff, like what communications tools to use, or how to improve things at Enspiral. Any Enspiral Contributor can change these.
- Working Groups Working groups are where we do work on the network.
- Enspiral Foundation – the central node in the network. The Board, Ops Team, Comms person, and Ventures all have some formal arrangement with the Foundation, which is owned by all the Enspiral Members.
- Money – a lot of what makes Enspiral special is how we deal with money. Read more about those processes in this chapter.
- Ventures – the companies that make up the network.
Patterns for Decentralised Organising
This is a book about working in groups, based on 7 years experience in community projects and startups.
I’m not so interested in what you’re working on together, I’m just going to focus on how you do it. To my way of thinking, it doesn’t matter if you’re trying to build a better electric vehicle, or develop government policy, or blockade a pipeline; whenever you work with a group of people on a shared objective, there’s some stuff you’re going to deal with, some challenges. How do we decide what we’re working on? who does what? who can join our team? what are our expectations for each other? what happens when someone doesn’t fulfil those expectations? what do we do with disagreement? how do decisions get made?
I’m convinced there is not a “one size fits all” recipe, a management structure that you can take off the shelf and install in your collective or your company. But my hypothesis is that there are patterns: common design elements you can draw on as you construct a recipe that’s right for you. Each pattern in this book names a challenge that you are likely to face, and offers tools and techniques you can try in response to that challenge.
This is a book for community organisers, leaders, managers, consultants, coaches, facilitators, founders… if you work with groups of humans, these patterns apply to you.

Hierarchy Is Not the Problem… It’s the Power Dynamics
I believe that this fascination with “hierarchy” and “non-hierarchy” is a major problem. Focussing on “hierarchy” doesn’t just miss the point, it creates cover for extremely toxic behaviour.
I’m guilty of this myself: having declared ourselves to be a “non-hierarchical” organisation, I’m unable to clearly see the un-just, un-accountable, un-inclusive, un-transparent, un-healthy dynamics that inevitably emerge in any human group. Calling ourselves “non-hierarchical” is like a free pass that gets in the way of our self-awareness.
Jo Freeman named this beautifully in The Tyranny of Structurelessness, where she argues that the informal hierarchies of a “structureless” group will always be less accountable and fair than a more formal organisation.
Freeman uses the word “structureless”, which is specific to the context of her 1960’s feminism. Today, you could swap “structureless” for “non-hierarchical” and get a very accurate diagnosis of a sickness that afflicts nearly every group that rejects hierarchical structures.
We’re coming up to the 50th anniversary of this essay, and still it seems the majority of radical organisations have missed the point.
So I repeat: I don’t care about hierarchy. It’s just a shape. I care about power dynamics.
I think words like “non-hierarchical”, “self-managing” and “horizontal” are kind of vague codes, pointing to our intention to create healthy power relations. In the past, when I said “Enspiral is a non-hierarchical organisation”, what I really meant was “Enspiral is a non-coercive organisation”. That’s the important piece, we’re trying to work without coercion.
Booklet: Patterns for Decentralised Organising

Ep. 41 Richard D. Bartlett “There Is No Enemy Team”
Playing for Team Human today, master of human connection and consensus, Loomio co-founder Richard Bartlett. Bartett coming all the way from New Zealand, stopped by Douglas’s home studio while on a community organizing workshop tour of the US.
On today’s show, Bartlett and Rushkoff discuss the challenges of building consensus in an all too often top-down, winner-takes all society. Together we’ll learn how Loomio, inspired by the general assemblies of Occupy Wall Street, strives to amplify collaborative power and foster more participatory democratic practice. It’s a project that starts with small-scale, human-to-human connection and grows outward from there.
Solarized. Precision colors for machines and people
Solarized is a sixteen color palette (eight monotones, eight accent colors) designed for use with terminal and gui applications. It has several unique properties. I designed this colorscheme with both precise CIELAB lightness relationships and a refined set of hues based on fixed color wheel relationships. It has been tested extensively in real world use on color calibrated displays (as well as uncalibrated/intentionally miscalibrated displays) and in a variety of lighting conditions.
Glocal Camp Modena
Glocal Camp is the periodic event that the CivicWise network organises to meet, discuss and revise its structure and methodology. The fifth edition of Glocal Camp is hold in Modena between 1-10 March.
The aim of the meeting is to exchange of knowledge and good practices gained through the projects, as well as to increase the engagement with the local communities, reactivate spaces and participatory projects in the hosting territory.
Nacionalista catalán, nacionalista español
Igual me equivoco, porque claro, pienso en catalán, pero pienso que la lengua catalana debería ser defendida por la totalidad de los españoles, porque también es una lengua española. Además, es una lengua minoritaria, muchas veces puesta en peligro, precisamente, por muchos gobiernos españoles a lo largo de la historia. El catalán es una lengua preciosa, un tesoro que debería ser mimado y no insultado y despreciado.
Pero, tristemente, seguro que muchos españoles leen este artículo y se piensan que odio España y el castellano.
GNU Lesser General Public License
The GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) is a free-software license published by the Free Software Foundation (FSF). The license allows developers and companies to use and integrate a software component released under the LGPL into their own (even proprietary) software without being required by the terms of a strong copyleft license to release the source code of their own components. However, any developer who modifies an LGPL-covered component is required to make their modified version available under the same LGPL license. For proprietary software, code under the LGPL is usually used in the form of a shared library, so that there is a clear separation between the proprietary and LGPL components.
The main difference between the GPL and the LGPL is that the latter allows the work to be linked with (in the case of a library, «used by») a non-(L)GPLed program, regardless of whether it is free software or proprietary software.[1] The non-(L)GPLed program can then be distributed under any terms if it is not a derivative work. If it is a derivative work, then the program’s terms must allow for «modification for the customer’s own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications.» Whether a work that uses an LGPL program is a derivative work or not is a legal issue.

I Tried to Block Amazon From My Life. It Was Impossible
Yes, fuck, I have Amazon’s app on my phone. I’m that addicted to this company. And I’m not alone: Amazon reportedly controls 50 percent of online commerce, which means half of all purchases made online in America, which is obscene.
Launched in 2006, AWS has taken over vast swaths of the internet. My VPN winds up blocking over 23 million IP addresses controlled by Amazon, resulting in various unexpected casualties, from Motherboard and Fortune to the U.S. Government Accountability Office’s website. (Government agencies love AWS, which is likely why Amazon, soon to be a corporate Cerberus with three “headquarters,” chose Arlington, Virginia, in the D.C. suburbs, as one of them.) Many of the smartphone apps I rely on also stop working during the block.
OpenOffice vs LibreOffice?
Historical note: Until 2010 there was only one suite, OpenOffice.org (OOo) developed by Sun. When Oracle bought Sun and threatened the existence of the office suite, a community fork was created called LibreOffice. Most of the existing OOo developers jumped ship to LibreOffice, considering it the true continuation of OOo instead of Oracle OpenOffice, which was later donated to the Apache Foundation, becoming Apache OpenOffice.
LibreOffice can reuse code from OpenOffice, while the opposite can’t happen. This means that all improvements made in OpenOffice are available in LibreOffice but improvements made in LibreOffice are not available in OpenOffice.
LibreOffice has much more contributions than OpenOffice. LibreOffice commit log, OpenOffice commit log. LibreOffice is also developed by developers from a large number of commercial companies, such as Red Hat, Collabora, Canonical etc. (adding security to the project, because if one company stops development, others will continue support). OpenOffice has only a meager number of IBM developers (I’m not sure if they still continue contributing).
FreeHand Forum
In September of 2009, a group of FreeHand users founded the Free FreeHand organization with the mission of saving FreeHand. The organization gathered over 6500 members, ultimately filing a lawsuit against Adobe Systems Inc. after many failed attempts to influence the company’s policy and desicion-making with regards to FreeHand. Following a long and challenging legal struggle, a settlement was reached early 2012.
While no stone was left unturned in the effort to bring FreeHand back into development and return it to market viability, in the end this proved to be an impossible goal. And so from the ashes, FreeHand Forum is born. With the new name come new direction and goals. We are pleased to share this new vision with all of our original members and those who have just discovered us.

Ciberseguridad: la llave está bajo la alfombra
está la aproximación íntima y personal a la gestión de las claves, en contraposición a la aproximación colectiva o comunal. He visto a varios colectivos compartir la contraseña de una cuenta de correo electrónico, Facebook, o Twitter, que son del colectivo y se gestionan de forma grupal. Obviamente no es la mejor forma de gestionar y resguardar la información de nuestro colectivo, pero es valioso recordar que en grupos militantes de gran parte del sur global seguramente lo «privado» se entiende de forma diferente que en el norte, y las más de las veces cruza lo personal y llega a lo colectivo.
Si hablamos de cuentas de correo electrónico es fácil decir: pues hay que usar una lista de correos en vez. Pero se complica si hablamos de plataformas como Twitter que no están diseñadas para las colectividades, al contrario, fomentan el individualismo y el «leadership» informativo.
Otro punto interesante es que tenemos que plantearnos radicalmente cómo es que hacemos las capacitaciones. No se trata de enseñar herramientas, asumiendo demasiado rápido dónde están los problemas. Varios procesos de aprendizaje tienden a fracasar porque son como la misa cristiana: todas hacemos reconocimiento de culpa y en la euforia del momento prometemos mejorar, y luego hacemos unas claves GPG larguísimas y super buenas pero que acaban inservibles porque a los tres meses de no usarlas nos las olvidamos
Es como lo de la mooncup: no porque nos digan que es lo mejor tiene necesariamente que resultarnos fácil, ni cómodo.
Por ahora, esa idea: afirmar nuestro derecho a la intimidad, también en la red. Y de poner una llave del tamaño que queramos, aunque luego, en casa, la pongamos bajo la alfombra porque así nos viene en gana.
Art + Feminism. What is an Edit-a-thon?
An Edit-a-thon is a community organized event that aims to teach folks how to edit, update, and add articles on Wikipedia. These events take place year-round at museums, coffee shops, colleges, and community centers.
What is IPFS?
IPFS is a distributed system for storing and accessing files, websites, applications, and data.
What does that mean, exactly? Let’s say you’re doing some research on Aardvarks. (Just roll with it; Aardvarks are cool! Did you know they can tunnel 3 feet in only 5 minutes?) You might start by visiting the wikipedia page on Aardvarks at:

When you put that URL in your browser’s address bar, your computer asks one of Wikipedia’s computers, which might be somewhere on the other side of the country — or even the planet — for the Aardvark page. However, if you use IPFS to get that page from:
/ipfs/QmXoypizjW3WknFiJnKLwHCnL72vedxjQkDDP1mXWo6uco/wiki/Aardvark.html
Your computer might have gotten it from someone else’s computer across town, or maybe even your neighbor’s computer across the street. When you use IPFS, you don’t only download a file from someone else, but your computer can help distribute it, too — when your friend a few blocks away needs the same Wikipedia page, they might be as likely to get it from you as your neighbor.
IPFS makes this possible for web pages, but also for any kind of file a computer might store, whether it’s an MS Word document, an e-mail, an MP3 file, or even a database record.
What is Aragon Project?
DEMOCRATIZING GOVERNANCE
The first step towards a more fair, efficient world
Aragon is a project that aims to disintermediate the creation and maintenance of organizational structures by using blockchain technology. We want to empower people across the world to easily and securely manage their organizations. We provide the tools for anyone to become an entrepreneur and run their own organization, to take control of their own lives.
By making it possible for everyone in the world to organize, we are enabling a borderless, permissionless and more efficient creation of value.
IMAGINE A NATION WITHOUT LAND AND BORDERS
A digital jurisdiction
Aragon organizations can be upgraded seamlessly using our aragonOS architecture. They can solve disputes between two parties by using the decentralized court system, a digital jurisdiction that operates only online and utilizes your peers to resolve issues.
The Aragon Network Token, ANT, puts the power into the hands of the people participating in the operation of the Network. Every single aspect of the Network will be governed by those willing to make an effort for a better future.
