Wow: card POS payments seem to be down across the Netherlands. Huge queues at cash machines, because most people don’t carry cash. Piles of food at supermarket checkouts because people could not pay.
Unclear what is happening. Is it some banks? All banks?
Anyone w more details?
On September 18, Monday, @RDBinns will give a talk @tudelft @tudelftTBM, on the Heraclitean Web, or the audit challenges posed by the dynamicity of Web algorithms. Lunch will be served at 12:00, and the presentation will be at 13:00.
Our project on programmable infrastructures tickles your curiosity but you are not sure whether you have what it takes?
Wisdom: please don't decide for a committee whether you are good enough for a position.
Courage: July 2nd is application deadline!
Questions: DM me
@tudelftTBM
Are you interested in the challenges digitalization poses to the governance of conventional infrastructures, e.g., transportation, energy?

“I do wonder whether the federal government — and certainly the auto industry — is missing the forest for the trees by putting so much emphasis on technological innovations to a problem with a much simpler solution. Pass laws to make the cars go slower.” https://t.co/LPqvx4F5Yp
Job alert @tudelftTBM: Assist/Assoc Professor position on "programmable infrastructures", or how the expansion of computational infrastructures dominated by a few tech companies are transforming our coventional infrastructures (e.g. transport, ports).

📢We're live!! We are happy to launch “Sphere Transgression Watch”, a digital tool that tracks and visualises the growing presence of Big Tech in different sectors -- or spheres -- of society, such as health, education, news provision and public policy. https://t.co/rctoOjHYJd
I was completely wrong about crypto and NFTs. I realized that the only problem with artificial scarcity is that we aren't financializing enough of the conceptual universe. So today (and today only) I’m announcing my new NFT collection. 🧵 (1/)
We're excited to announce that we have not ONE but TWO new issues out!!!!
Vol 49 (2) Regular Issue - https://t.co/Hn6jaa2xX1
Vol 49 (3) - Conference Special Issue on Entanglements and Detachments - https://t.co/Qm9LnYfz5D
Table of Contents for both issues in a 🧵below 🥳‼️
1920s: Arms race of Industrialising
1940s: Arms race of national and war economy
1960s: Arms race of nuclear technologies and computers
1980s: Arms race of internet and microchips
2000s: Arms race of software and financialization
2020s: Arms race of AI and Blockchain Technologies
In #YESBrainstorming, @RanaForoohar describes the similarities between #AI and financialization of the global economy in terms of power relations: “To what extent it this a tool that can be used as innovation – or, to what extent is it asymmetric and putting power on one side."
