Nuclear Energy (Energy Essentials)

Lean Out: The Struggle For Gender Equality In Tech And Start-up Culture
by Elissa ShevinskyWhy aren't the great, qualified women already in tech being hired or promoted? Should people who don't fit in seek to join an institution that is actively hostile to them? Does the tech industry deserve women leaders? The split between the stated ideals of the corporate elite and the reality of working life for women in the tech industry--whether in large public tech companies or VC-backed start-ups, in anonymous gaming forums, or in Silicon Valley or Alley--seems designed to crush women's spirits. Corporate manifestos by women who already fit in (or who are able to convincingly fake it) aren't helping. There is a high cost for the generation of young women and transgender people currently navigating the harsh realities of the tech industry, who gave themselves to their careers only to be ignored, harassed and disrespected. Not everyone can be a CEO; not everyone is able to embrace a workplace culture that diminishes the contributions of women and ignores real complaints. The very culture of high tech, where foosball tables and endless supplies of beer are de facto perks, but maternity leave and breast-feeding stations are controversial, is designed to appeal to young men. Lean Out collects 25 stories from the modern tech industry, from people who fought GamerGate and from women and transgender artists who have made their own games, from women who have started their own companies and who have worked for some of the most successful corporations in America, from LGBTQ women, from women of color, from transgender people and people who do not ascribe to a gender. All are fed up with the glacial pace of cultural change in America's tech industry. Included are essays by anna anthropy, Leigh Alexander, Sunny Allen, Lauren Bacon, Katherine Cross, Dom DeGuzman, FAKEGRIMLOCK, Krys Freeman, Gesche Haas, Ash Huang, Erica Joy, Jenni Lee, Katy Levinson, Melanie Moore, Leanne Pittsford, Brook Shelley, Elissa Shevinsky, Erica Swallow, and Squinky. Edited and selected by entrepreneur and tech veteran Elissa Shevinsky, Lean Out sees a possible way forward that uses tech and creative disengagement to jettison 20th century corporate culture: ''I've figured out a way to create safe space for myself in tech,'' writes Shevinsky. ''I've left Silicon Valley, and now work remotely from home. I adore everyone on my team, because I hired them myself.
Digital Bharat: डिजिटल भारत
by Dr Deepak Shikarpurपंचवीस वर्षांनी माहिती तंत्रज्ञानाची गंगा म्हणजेच 'आयटी' भारतात वाहत आहे आणि ती सर्वसामान्य नागरिकांसाठी वास्तव बनली आहे. अंगणी येऊन एक दशकाहून अधिक काळ लोटला आहे. मुळात ही संगणकीय क्रांती असली तरी, प्रत्येकाच्या हातात स्मार्टफोन (किमान साधे मोबाइल फोन) आल्यापासून त्याचा खरा प्रसार (आणि परिणाम) जाणवू लागला आहे. आपली बरीचशी सरकारी कामे ऑनलाइन होऊ लागली आहेत! किमान बिले भरणे, एखाद्या प्रकरणाची माहिती घेणे, तक्रारी दाखल करणे, संबंधित कार्यालयात पोहोचणे आणि तिथल्या विभागाचा शोध घेणे आणि योग्य अधिकाऱ्याची वाट पाहणे यासारख्या मूलभूत कामांसाठी शहरी-निमशहरी भागातही तासनतास वाया जातात. आणि जतन केलेले मानसिक आणि शारीरिक श्रम (सामाजिक, आर्थिक, आत्म-सुधारणा इ.) इतरत्र वापरा. काही हरकत नाही! आणि हे अगदी घरी केले जाऊ शकते. थोडे कौशल्य आत्मसात केले तर अनेकांना त्यात दूरगामी करिअरच्या (कमाईच्या) संधी मिळतील. इंटरनेट, कनेक्टेड कॉम्प्युटर किंवा स्मार्टफोन आणि स्वत:चे बँक खाते यांच्या मदतीने - अगदी गृहिणी देखील तिच्या घरातील आरामात पैसे कमवू शकते. एकदा तुम्ही डिजिटल कौशल्यांमध्ये प्रभुत्व मिळवल्यानंतर, तुम्ही अनेक व्यावहारिक, परस्पर पैलू हाताळण्यास सक्षम असाल. "खरीच कर लो दुनिया मुटका" हे स्वप्न आता सहज शक्य झाले आहे.
