7:33 pm
the decision was made by the court of arbitration for sport after an appeal month becomes just over a week away from the winter olympic games in china or today will the headlines here on out to stay with its rival geeks is coming right up by foot. digital technology conference on its intimacy easement and any number. of consternation is you know ok it seems easy stuff into mention. in which everything in our lives he trains and track. and intended.
7:34 pm
that is convenient for profit and surveillance he only needs these new powers. that will be easy us going to challenge the tech johnny. as a name or a different technology. one rep people are not a part of. the be. all that us all i mean. the problem with this but it seems that sometimes i don't really adjust to the local tide zone but i just assume got a random times on which is half way between when i was in the area me.
7:35 pm
honestly that. it was a very young goes off because of it if. you know you better than i thought it was sort space ok i'm going to the store ok. ok. good luck with these guys really he crossed maybe you know this big roof over there well the number four people know that matthew's reality is we know nothing you won't get. to be friends we stopped at least protocol how do we know which is especially the ox's to be able to field we didn't tommies we don't really having to go to five years degree the atomics. i'm going to show you how to melt and electronic silence
7:36 pm
that basically the first thing you need and it's an arduino microcontroller and indeed there do you really know code which essentially it's a it's a computer inside one single chip doesn't have a screen doesn't have a model but it can build things with some so it's. one of the early communities that jumps on all receive illegal sorts of musical interfaces for computers then there was a lot of interactive installations of the baltics. people said the use of the unit to be the first open source drill. then it was the first open source three d. printer. people start to go and see oh look at these projects but it's great i like you what do you use all used up do you know what he's of do you know. you guys were just in north from tustin nor you have what looks like a whole bunch of little tiny boards there mostly arduino microcontrollers so what
7:37 pm
arduino is is a open source hardware that you can use to write software that interacts with the real world when you're holding your hand as an arduino mega it's the it's of the big one right now that i have this little chips that are microcontrollers. he beat me because of the typical computer you will find for example in the microwave over simple terrible stuff that are using that we realize that a lot of software and hardware was a baby with an open source license we want the something that you could build yourself if you wanted to it would be to make it cheap even eat the cost like a pizza so i stopped to develop what became of the real. what happened is that at the same time that we start to become a little bit where norm the maker movement started to. come down from the down look at the very man right now three. pieces that make
7:38 pm
a fair shed and we are writing to me this is making their robot which is that kind of symbol of maker faire not even in california to have it so big. as. the maker faire is an event that was started ten years ago as a way to get the makers to get together and show what they were doing showing projects. what are you working on and this is the equator i thought it was. all right. liquid identify yes i want not a feel for wall street on a video on a quality i only count on it if i. well that's pretty cool that project is quite interesting they could make that souls mold or you can put it in. a regular
7:39 pm
glossary you know you can use a form a lot of different that's an interesting project so basically we made a bunch of the any good lot of these one is like the kids can change the drawing on the fly and you get reflected here or a very nice course at that by the whole feel of the you have to fit all. the bigger picture from the bonnet and sent it over here and we know then and with painted on the. rock you know only engineer for children. if the film school. i. was. maybe. the software. gets downloaded but once again i am.
7:40 pm
what's happening right now is pretty simple. technology is pervading every aspect of the law. at the moment that he's this perception that the can all just something you buy what's on the shelf but you know way if you look at the supermarket and it would only be pre-cooked food and you wouldn't be able to buy some fresh programs to cool then you would find that the world was not a free world you know you would have why what i thought get canned soup only when in technology in a way now you go to a shop and yes twenty five different types of tablets but effective they're all doing the same thing so what if you decide that you want to do a different topic though you don't want to do something else then you need to be able to sit down and think about it and maybe build a different one. i
7:41 pm
think. you ladies this is in for a sensor infrared sensor but this is wire isn't. in my undergraduate education that i i learned like a postman and i figured out that doing things with commercial is not that fun actually i got the idea of maker when they had english in berlin and i was no more that. right now to make the ruling in china but the interesting. i got. back was. a big party and there is one requirement you have to have that object that you never play that you know it's not that i like so it's really for about money yes but i think over something else and i stopped off as
7:42 pm
a kid i was very interested in understanding how to to one christmas my parents gave me as a present this kid who was a kid to learn about electronics he could build a circuit so if you make seven he would stick the stage to put together a disk you plug a nine volt battery you put your phone and and suddenly you hear voices you're like wow i just be the radio so those are very important for me because you want to stand that the chronology is not as complicated as you think it is. nice collar bone. but this is where you run your do we know. let's say i want to build something that tells me when i got too much sun time you know when i'm at the seaside i have to be careful otherwise i beg i could take a bus is a little component because there might be this other component. which is a light sensor. so constantly.
7:43 pm
7:44 pm
7:45 pm
impression that these two other people made back. to dr particular to see people that he's actually step number five of twenty five and at the end of the line there may be a very relevant thing that comes out of that. a hydrogen explosion has occurred at unit three of the hamster can put the human daiichi nuclear plant. in japanese authorities have ordered people within a twelve mile radius of the plant to remain inside more than one hundred eighty thousand people have been evacuated from the area. this is to be hoped if you feel this is to be hoped though. the people who
7:46 pm
they used to live here they cannot come back here anymore because all of. new korea occident that it was really on clear about the the information. radiation contamination was we can the see if we can this made it we can offer you anything i didn't seeing the government is hiding anything i saw the government just cannot do cannot control the situation betty will because it was very quite chaotic. i just sold if i have this energy i ship you know something something something for others. i miss hunt that's how i start in building sift guessed.
7:47 pm
the outside these high right now the whole point seems to have an inside of a bottle legacy bad. experience i don't see this number so if. the box on the other there and the receiver that's sitting here is one of our third generation the guy using it has a geiger counter and a g.p.s. receiver and it was in every five seconds location. time and now the radiation levels everywhere i go and it's creating a data point every five seconds along this road which will upload our maps and be able to see the radiation levels around us and. there is no question to reduce any but we know from the very first. when the government tried to put out the information they basically said it was no problem in fukushima and there clearly was people didn't know what to believe.
7:48 pm
that we have here and we do work that this older country from the girder countered and communicates with the p.c. to get through the radiation level. through to know that we were desperate to get the data on the maps we had to act quickly if we got seventy five percent reliable data right away that was way better than one hundred percent reliable data two years too late and. we got something working draft of a human. big i. read approved we have some strong rains outside. what are we measuring here right now is to stay brood thirty six now so it has to come out thirty six so we see very consistent error reducing numbers coming. out of this these meetings where the plane would have to lean over the comics for
7:49 pm
a certain amount of cars and they wouldn't have been able to wake up one day and build a network calls network connected to geiger counters in the space of these a community needed them and they were ready. so its. cost to go through different time and not the did which we call these radiation droids because it kind of looks like r two d two so from star wars and these are these are the ones that started appearing but a year after jack all around fukushima this is was you know this is a japan this is the new one. where the problem is is that the government doesn't say anything about them we found them by just coming across them so somebody putting in sensors there's no signs on who owns them or who installed them
7:50 pm
or how they work or where you can find the data online alians could have dropped this here. or is it one point zero. sorry six but anyway one point zero micro see about prove every compared to four years ago the number has been decreased about that's because half life of cesium one city one thirty four one hundred seventy s. . the health effects of the stress of the incentives for katrina are having a very sizable impact on the people up there you know it doesn't matter if the fear you have is based on something real and rational or irrational it's still a stress in people have a right to be told what's going on. i know said guess i'm thinking this is like. the dog in my pockets at the dinner. looks like it. needs to. stay.
7:51 pm
in but. because of the carbon i do to haul the cook on a day there's sort of our being out there are so many more that's not good money among the men they need. stanley skinner the more this is in the soup it was nicely made well here on long i still got the war on the. please honey do you mother get that one for me. is that my note. that going up on the. menu there sort of. the middle of the middle i look at the little cottage by the skew the moment the menu and i'm on the.
7:52 pm
this i would consider this number two point one zero point one five point one eight to be the reading for this position. this is you know since they did a suzy did then they had to the mother didn't escape the more. you know the much grief and also. a halt. to much of the talk i had a bit of this and it come up on the head with a bit of debt. but not that it's the last one must read them but i do thank you. so you could look at the cut up. at the cinema consume cartons get it more as you would i go see it than one enough acoustically not that.
7:53 pm
i get an amazing feeling when i come across these kind of promotions. this is something that nobody could have and. when you make something they can appreciate you don't think oh yeah one day somebody will probably use it to outsource radiation data but the fact that you've created tools that enable people to do that gives you hope on the fact that there will be other situations where we can build something knowledge which is independently created and will help us in other situations like this. there is no safe level of radiation more radiation you get the more risk you have of it causing some kind of disease. people in korea or new hamas in those places if the radiation were to stay stable thruster life would probably increase their lifetime rate of cancer by half a percent doesn't sound like a lot when half
7:54 pm
a percent of one hundred thousand people get cancer what's that five hundred people so from an individual respond if you it might be manageable from a from society point of view it's serious. but then if i'm going to think about us going i say. oh hey hey mike. safe cast is deploying a new network of sensors in the occasions so we're going to put sensors that are instead of being on a car they're going to be on a building and they'll measure twenty four hours a day. some people say it's. their radiation it's gone already and they don't want to talk about it anymore and they should learn more about the specific information and using the human pendent data its own data and know they're there. not that one.
7:55 pm
i don't know it's not that i know. thats it. it's on. its i don't know i don't consider is his get it on the level of the toaster to space shuttle it's a lot closer to a toaster and one sensor you know provide some data but it's going to be the network and then the string of data that comes from this and other ones that's going to have a have a big picture so you know it's one small piece of a very big network. the most recent reading is twenty c.p.m. seven and. we started from almost nothing to barely workable system in a week within a month we had something that was pretty good within three months we had something that was world class within a year we were the largest open data database on radiation information anywhere.
7:56 pm
because the community now is not just that some of the people to realize that he's now one of them to be me so they're trying to kind of cash into this thing but they don't understand that by doing this they might make some money now but then they would the community which is your blood is your you know what keeps you up. there were different moments that i could have given up but i believe you can build the business makes you more money than you would ever need in your life and yet you create something which is a lasting value for many more. i'm going to fight the ego buckle but in the saying i want to work with my friends who believe in what i do. every allies that i spent
7:57 pm
the last ten years basically almost like. putting money into a lot of bank accounts that are not made of money that are made of repetition that are made of respect that are made of. and now that this thing is happening to me i'm basically going out and everybody's basically giving me back old the love i give them with interest. i don't want to live in a world where everything around me is designed in california and made in china by somebody just make stuff because otherwise they will drive the choices we make where they will drive their way we will be creating the only way to be subversive you know for which nowadays is to be able to control the technology in a way that you can propose an alternative. i
7:58 pm
also like the spirit that because you have makers like you nothing about making mistakes you know lays good out that it's progress that's how you keep going keep going down. we never know when the next one happens if that happens anywhere else you know or all of these people can help right away we know how to do. well as i learned to read so that i could read or american. tax returns to activism with the new mission is over here with my job of trying to build software for social. digital dissidents within the technological for market rates to gets occurred medications made in their field from the captain part of the
7:59 pm
rebel series up this time on al-jazeera. the scene for us where on line what is american sign in yemen that peace is always possible but it never happens not because the situation is complicated but because no one cares or if you join us on set there are people that there are choosing between buying medication or eating this is a dialogue i want to get in one more comment because this is someone who's an activist and just posted a story join the global conversation at this time on al-jazeera i really felt
8:00 pm
liberated as a journalist was. getting to the truth that i would say that's what is. more than seven decades ago a country was split into read a bit but did anything and now the time. to do ya page all it took was a pan a map and a collapsing empire when the british had to draw a line they pulled these seven to had never been to india before al-jazeera examines the violent birth of india and pakistan and docks what the future holds for these new korean neighbors politicians borders of blood at this time. kenya's high court orders the government to reopen t.v. stations blocked for broadcasting writer and thinkers mock inauguration.
