Impossible, a platform that encourages people to do things for each other for free, could bring a huge amount of social value, argued founder and former model Lily Cole at Wired 2012. Subscribe to WIRED ►► http://po.st/SubscribeWired Full story: http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2012-10/25/lily-cole-impossible "Technology was never something that I was particularly interested in or would consider myself working in, but I feel inspired by the potential for technology to be the driver for social change," she said. Once Cole had the idea for Impossible, she started to research the gift economy, finding lots of pre-capitalist examples and also examining Wikipedia, whose founder Jimmy Wales has invested in the business. "The amount of stuff that we do for free for each other is bigger than GDP."

The Natural History Museum in London has set itself the mammoth task of digitising its specimens - all 80 million of them. The museum's collection includes everything from a blue whale skeleton to Martian meteorites, making progress understandably slow. Head of Informatics Vince Smith says it would take around 1,500 years for the team to manually digitise it all, so in 2014 they decided to write software that allows them to do it in bulk. They now use six DSLR cameras to process up to 200 items at a time. WIRED went behind the scenes to meet the researchers working on the project and learn more about how they digitise the different specimens.

The High Voltage Laboratory at the University of Manchester is one of the few places in the world that makes lightning. The lab works to predict failures on the electrical grid and protect it from blackouts. To do so, Dr Vidyadhar Peesapati and his team test electrical equipment to its limit - sometimes striking it with up to millions of volts. WIRED went inside the lab to learn more about the team's work, and see some lab-made lightning close-up.

In the last decade, Africa’s elephant population has declined by around 110,000, primarily due to poaching. The slaughter of African rhinos has also skyrocketed — 1,175 were killed in South Africa in 2015 alone, compared with 13 in 2007. Because poachers operate mostly under the cover of night, this type of crime is hard to tackle. In December 2012, Google awarded WWF a $5 million grant to tackle the poaching crisis through technology, launching the Wildlife Crime Technology Project. They have collaborated with FLIR, a thermal imaging company, to design a new infrared camera capable of detecting human movement at night, and have installed cameras around Kenya's Maasai Mara Conservancy. Since the programme started, local rangers have nabbed over 150 poachers.

Since 2015 the UK government has been trying to impose restrictions on access to porn. All of the legal measures needed to do so have passed and now it is only a matter of time until changes start to happen across the web. But the idea (and the execution) is fundamentally flawed. The UK's film certification board, an organisation with a limited digital background, has been put in charge of implementing the policy and one of the main age verification systems is owned by the world's largest porn company. The result? Potentially profound and damaging implications for privacy and a deluge of data on the private habits of millions of people just waiting to be hacked.

Computation is the biggest technological change we have ever witnessed, says John Underkoffler, the CEO of Oblong Industries, because it is the absolute opposite of the world we know. This is because it has no in-built representation; it is a purely abstract realm. He gained his mass of experience in computer graphics, holography and largescale visualization to sci-fi spectaculars Minority Report and Iron Man, where he advised on the science of the near future – he thinks that our best way of getting our heads around the amazing, abstract issue of computation is through the analogy of architecture. #architecture #wiredlive ABOUT WIRED SMARTER Experts and business leaders from the worlds of Energy, Money and Retail gathered at Kings Place, London, for WIRED Smarter on October 9, 2018.

The European Union Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market, to use its full name, requires the likes of YouTube, Facebook and Twitter to take more responsibility for copyrighted material being shared illegally on their platforms. It's become known by its most controversial segment, called Article 13, which critics claim will have a detrimental impact on creators online. YouTube, and YouTubers, have become the most vocal opponents of the proposal. But Article 13 and the Directive on Copyright isn’t law yet. It still has to go through a series of steps before it becomes finalised as an EU directive, and it's currently stalling as European Union member states can't agree on the final wording of the Directive. To help clear things up, here’s WIRED’s guide to the EU Directive on Copyright.

Ogilvy UK Vice Chairman Rory Sutherland co-founded a behavioural science practice within the agency, which works with a consulting practice of psychology graduates who look for ‘unseen opportunities’ in consumer behaviour. At WIRED Health, Sutherland explores the psychological reasons why people do things and how perception and placebos can be used for a positive outcome. "It doesn't really matter why people do it so as long as they do," Sutherland points out. "There's a danger in activity which goes 'it's not enough for people to go and do the thing we want them to do, they have to do it for the right reason'. To be honest, I don't really mind if people buy an electric car because they think it's really cool."

Microdosing psychedelics refers to the practice of taking tiny amounts of drugs such as LSD or magic mushrooms. Some people claim that microdosing brings them benefits such as improved mood, focus or creativity. But there’s very little scientific evidence to show which effects microdosing actually has – or if it has any at all. Now, several groups of researchers are running placebo-controlled studies to explore what microdosing does. They ask participants to take either microdoses or placebos, without telling them which they are getting, then have them complete tasks testing things like cognitive function and psychological wellbeing. Having a placebo control is particularly important, as otherwise the reported effects of microdosing could be down to a placebo response rather than a physiological effect of the drug. #microdosing #lsd #psychedelics

One of the toughest forces military pilots have to deal with is gravitational force, or G-force. To make sure they can handle this while in the air, they have to practice an anti-G straining maneuver on the ground, by spinning around in a centrifuge while controlling a flight simulator. WIRED senior editor Gian Volpicelli visits the new Thales High-G Training Facility at an RAF base in Cranwell, Lincolnshire, to learn how pilots train to cope with forces of up to 9G – and has a go himself. #flying #raf #royalairforce #planes #gforce

Sandra Wachter is a Lawyer, Associate Professor and Senior Research Fellow at University of Oxford. In this video, Sandra discusses how the law can keep up with new technology. Particularly, she spoke about her recent work on targeted advertising – a big issue for tech giants including Facebook and Amazon. The law already protects against discrimination based on certain identity traits such as race or gender. But targeted advertisers claim to group people according to “affinity” – an aggregate measure of their online behaviour – not identity. Wachter believes, however, that existing concepts in the law may have something to say about discrimination by affinity.
