Abhay Agarwal - "You, Online - Identity, Privacy, and the Future"

3:00 PM - 5:30 PM

🇬🇧 · London Hackspace

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/london-hack-space/oMz3tEO1sbc/vowuB9cDjuwJ

The current landscape of online services all seem to have similar forms. Technologies all seem to be ‘going social’ or collecting ‘big data’, yet to most of us this is a veil that surrounds these ostensibly public and free offerings. In addition, the NSA & GCHQ have been caught red handed stealing and reading all our personal data.

This talk intends to elucidate some of the economic and philosophical underpinnings of current internet technology and asks the question: what does online identity truly mean? What does it mean to myself, to tech companies, to the state, and to the future of our society? NOTE: This discussion is intended for people of all technical skills/knowledge

Some of the topics discussed will be:

- Ubiquitous surveillance, and what it means for a networked society
- Gesalt Theory, and the possibility of privacy in data analytics
- Notions of a hyper-connected future: theories and paradoxes
- Prominent alternatives to the internet, and how they work

Class: Fire the Lazzzzor! Learn to rapid prototype using the 35 Watt Epilog Laser.

These classes fill up, reserve your spot now!
Harness the power of an Eplilog 35 Watt Laser! In this class you'll learn everything you need to know to make the ideas in your head become a reality with a laser.
<IMG SRC="https://evbdn.eventbrite.com/s3-s3/eventlogos/6121399/wonderwheeldetail2.jpg" ALT="Laser cut boxes" WIDTH="450" HEIGHT="450">
In this three hour class, we'll walk through all the steps from idea to pressing the "go" button on the laser. We'll cover safety and basic design skills in Inkscape and you'll learn how to do a burninate test to find out if a material is laserable. After the three hours, you'll have made a plaque for your door, a keychain, a simple box or something more ambitious. (There is lab time for laser cutting, questions and answers, and working with Inkscape, Illustrator, Corel Draw, etc.)
<IMG SRC="http://herbhoover.com/newsletter_images/AstridaLazzor3.jpg" ALT="Laser Cut Designs by Astrida Valigorsky" WIDTH="600" HEIGHT="200">
After learning the basics, each student will create their own design and cut it on the laser! A $10 lab fee is included in the ticket price and covers your time on the laser cutter to cut and etch. We have a variety of scrap material to experiment with or you can purchase laserable acrylic, Delrin, illustration board, leather, or wood. Midwest [midwestproducts.com] and Revell make a variety of plywood, bass and balsa that is perfect for laser cutting. The bed size of our laser is 12" x 24" so buy materials accordingly.

Please bring a laptop and a USB jump drive. You may choose to upload and install Inkscape before you come to class to get familiar with the software and start on a vector design project. We use Inkscape because it saves .svg files natively and is open source. Inkscape is available at inkscape.org
This class is required for coming in to do work on the laser independently. If you get inspired, you can come back and laser your objects on our Lunar Laser Mondays or Thursday Craft Night [see calendar for times].
This class is taught by Olivia Barr.
All NYC Resistor classes are for people 18-years and up. Sorry, minors.

Class: Programming Neopixels for noncoders

5:00 PM - 8:00 PM

🇺🇸 · NYC Resistor

Join us for <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/programming-neopixels-for-noncoders-tickets-12123651167?ref=ebapi"> Programming Neopixels for noncoders</a>:
 
Want to program patterns into LEDs but not sure where to start? Don't know how to program but would like a gentle introduction to editing patterns? In this class you'll get a Flora controller board, a NeoPixel LED ring, and a set of code "recipes" to load onto the pixels. We'll teach basic coding principles as we show you what parts of the programs you can edit to change colors, speed, and other behaviors of patterns. Don't forget your laptop.

If you are already comfortable programming Arduinos or other systems, then this is the class for you. We'll cover a few different interfaces to the WS2812 "NeoPixels", writing code for drawing patterns on strips, using libraries for drawing images and text on matrices, and we'll cover techniques for color and luma correction. We'll also spend some time on how to add sensors to make your projects interactive. Bring your laptop and ideas for fun projects.

Come work on your outfit for Burning Man or the next dance party at NYC Resistor! We'll have soldering irons and other tools to use, plenty of sewing notions and also electronic notions like extra resistors, LEDs, battery cases, and random buttons and switches, plus we'll have fancier things for sale like microcontrollers, NeoPixel items, EL Wire, fiber optic filament, conductive thread, and super-thin flexible wire. Come share your knowledge and learn something new -- members will be around to give advice if you're stuck.
We have a couple of sewing machines at the space, but if you have one you can bring please do so.
