Festive 500

Ik had er eigenlijk nog nooit écht van gehoord, van de Festive 500 die de fietshipsters van Rapha organiseert. Jannemans wees er mij op en m’n interesse was meteen gewekt.

Bonnie Kristian op The Week: I do not think my older family members understand the extent to which the content they encounter is tailored by algorithms to set their lizard brains on fire. Like the majority of their peers, as a 2019 survey showed, they probably don’t understand an algorithm is involved at all. They […]

Clean advertising

Jeremy Keith: The greatest trick the ad tech industry has pulled is convincing the world that contextual relevance is somehow less effective than some secret algorithm fed with all our data that’s supposed to be able to practically read our minds and know us better than we know ourselves. En een quote voor alle krantenwebsites […]
