Interesting Things on the Internet: April 13th 2015

• Mikey Dickerson to SXSW: Why We Need You in Government "Some of you, not all of you, are working right now on another app for people to share pictures of food or a social network for dogs. I am here to tell you that your country has a better use for your talents." and "this country belongs to you and me and it is exactly as good as we make it. Grownups are not going to fix it for us and billionaires are not going to fix it for us. We either do it ourselves, or nobody does."
• The internet won't forget Cameron's lies, and neither will the British people.
• Code and Law between Truth and Power. Great lecture from law professor Julie E Cohen about privacy, data, networks and power. Great to see someone pointing out that - like code - law is not a neutral actor in good or bad. There's a write-up of the lecture at We are citizens, not mere physical masses of data for harvesting if you want a shorter read.
• Why Are Glasses Perceived Differently Than Hearing Aids?. All technology is assistive, so why is some stigmatised over others?
