Facebook is plotting a new cryptocurrency dubbed âLibraâ for its vast social network scheduled for release in 2020. Libra Coin, a virtual currency, will be governed by Libra association, a conglomerate of 28 American and European corporations who will decide everything from who can join the network, process transactions and how much currency will circulate. As an African, it is my opinion that the peoples of Africa, its governments and central banks should be concerned, because we risk ceding more control, from the little we have now, to a digital
Today, communities of color face a battle to uphold civil rights that have been abridged through online platforms. The opportunity, well-being, and liberty of Black and Brown Americans is intensified or denied as emerging technologies transform our society. Civil rights by definition are sets of guaranteed privileges that include equal treatment, equal opportunity, and the ability to be free from discrimination. The civil rights movement in the United States was a two-decades-long struggle with the goal of enforcing constitutional and legal rights for African Americans. The movement was mostly about
Atlassian is hiring on pocitjobs.com! With initial aspirations of being “a struggling artist” – John found himself as a sought after technical writer two years before finishing his bachelorâs degree. Currently, Senior Technical Writer at Atlassian, Johnâs illustrious career in technical writing stemmed from a series of hard decisions, beginning from his and his girlfriend’s (now wife’s) unplanned pregnancy when they were 19: “At that moment, I decided that I had to give my kids the same thing that my parents gave me. And that was a stable home full
We caught up with the amazing Fikile M Kani about her amazing new original webseries Tech Bae… As soon as we heard the premise of a black women founder trying to create a better dating experience for black women we had to find out more. Have a look at her tweet thread before deliving into our interview. Ayaâs story needs to be on peoplesâ screens not only to bring light issues around bias, but to add more black women’s faces in spaces where they are underrepresented–the tech/startup worlds and on
First, I want to give credit to this idea to Jeneba who produced Yes We Tech: 161 Black Women in Tech to Follow on Twitter and 185 Women of Color in Tech to Follow on Twitter. My list is not as organized or detailed but has a different circle of users with a little overlap with these previous lists. I hope you can use all three lists to share this empowering narrative of the existence of women of color! Donât be fooled by your environment, the movies you watch or the news stories you read,
In 1878, Christopher Sholes was granted the patent on the QWERTY keyboard layout. Heâd been granted the patent on the typewriter in 1868, 10 years earlier. His original typewriter had problems with tangling mechanical keys and the QWERTY keyboard was his solution to broken keyboards and frustrated typists. The QWERTY keyboard favored left-handed typists (at a time when most technology favored right-handed users) and placed less commonly used letters under a typists resting fingers. Sholes, thinking very much like a founder who wanted to sell a lot of product, ensured
I am a web developer. I am not disabled. I live in the United States. I use modern technology and devices on a daily basis. Yet, often I canât use modern sites and web apps the way they were intended to be used. At least a few times per week â as a regular consumer of modern digital technology â Iâm roadblocked. Web applications show blank white screens and wonât render anything at all due do a bug. Slow 4G internet immobilizing the normal web browsing experience.
