Interesting Things on the Internet: Mar 10th 2014 Edition

Another dose of interesting things I’ve encountered of late…

• A local shop for local people. A lovely tale of a locally-sourced veg shop in Glasgow.
• SeeChange - asking all the right questions (which aren't just "get rid of all the cameras!?!") about the proliferation of the amount of streaming video recording that's going on.
• Full NHS hospital records uploaded to Google servers. In case anyone was in any doubt as to why the Government needs to do much better on looking after our NHS data. (The "infinitely worse" story currently might be about mock data, rather than real data. But I might be revising that before I publish this...)
• Civic Rights Principles for the Era of Big Data. We could probably do with something similar for the Internet of Things.
• "Anyone with power has a responsibility to consider how its use affects others." Thoughts about Radical Transparency
• A Day at the ODNI. Quinn Norton writes up the day workshop on identity that she attended at the US intelligence agencies. However, it's a much more interesting read than that makes it sound.
• Great article on the invention of the AeroPress coffee maker. I never realised it was invented by the same guy as the Aerobie.
• The Creep Factor: How to Think About Big Data and Privacy. Worth a read for the term "data redlining", if nothing else.
