rical motion. Let us imagine a
cube composed of 27 small cubes, and
let us imagine this cube asexpanding and
contracting. During the process of expansion all the 26 cubes lying
around the central cube will retreat from it and on contraction will
approach it again. For the sake of convenience in reasoning and in
order to increase the likeness of the cube to a body consisting of
molecules, let us suppose that the cubes have no dimension, that they
are nothing but points. In other words, let us take only the centres of
the 27 cubes and imagine them connected by lines both with the centre
and with each other. Visualising the expansion of this cube, composed
of 27 cubes, we may say that in order to avoid colliding with another
cube and hindering its motion, each of these cubes must move away
from the centre, that is to say, along the line which connects its centre
with the centre of the central cube. This is the first rule: In the course
of expansion and contraction molecules move along the lines
which connect them with the centre.

In 1988, Louis Rossetto, a 39-year-old adventurer, onetime novelist, and avid libertarian, sensed that the encoding of information in 1s and 0s was going to change everything. Living in Amsterdam at the time, he and Jane Metcalfe, his partner in business and life, had parlayed his job at an obscure language-translation service into a magazine, Electric Word. Produced on a Mac, it evoked a digital universe that was not about gadgetry but a force for global transformation.
Over the following year, the couple hammered out a business plan for a new magazine, tentatively called Millennium, that would take this revolution to the US mainstream. Technology, Rossetto predicted, would be the rock and roll of the ’90s, and the pair aimed to make Millennium its standard-bearer.…

false beliefs that have been handed down from generation to generation.
This is a TIME of great and wonderful change in what was once a mystery and is now being
understood. When you honour your magnificence, when you stretch the imagined boundaries
of you are and recognize what you can create or call forth, you truly begin to realise that you are
powerful beyond measure.

[IS] the growth story of our time. We must capture the will, imagination, and enthusiasm of humanity, by re-imagining our future. We are on the verge of catalytic breakthroughs that will alter our view of what is possible and profitable. New employment opportunities, entire new industries and markets, rooted in sustainability, are within our grasp – with the potential for unparalleled economic growth. We must simply visualise the future and have the confidence to invest in it.
There [IS] an enormous opportunity for businesses to re[IMAGINE] themselves, to redesign their supply chains and their products in the way sustainably minded consumers are demanding. We need only look at our young people for ideas and inspiration. We now need to shape the markets, industries and jobs of the future, as the next decade will be the most important in our lifetime.

, but it promises it never will. It even announces that future changes to the privacy policy will be put to a vote by users before implementation.
It’s hard to imagine now, but such a social network once existed. It was called Facebook. The company’s journey from privacy-focused startup to mass surveillance platform is at the heart of the long-awaited antitrust case filed today by a group of 46 states, along with the District of Columbia and Guam. The bipartisan coalition, led by New York State Attorney General Letitia James, alleges that Facebook achieved its dominance through a years-long strategy of anticompetitive tactics, including its acquisitions of budding rivals like Instagram and WhatsApp. As it built up that dominant position, the suit argues, it began offering users a worse and worse privacy experience.
The Federal Trade Commission also filed suit against Facebook today. The two cases, which were filed in the District of Columbia federal district court and will likely be combined into one, come after more than a year of coordinated investigation into the company. In a statement, Facebook general counsel Jennifer Newstead referred to the allegations in the legal complaints as “revisionist history,” noting that the FTC approved the Instagram and WhatsApp mergers at the time.
