Project 10 to the 100th
Voila le nouveau projet de Google.
Project 10100 is a call for ideas to change the world by helping as many people as possible.
Why this project?
Never in history have so many people had so much information, so many tools at their disposal, so many ways of making good ideas come to life. Yet at the same time, so many people, of all walks of life, could use so much help, in both little ways and big.
In the midst of this, new studies are reinforcing the simple wisdom that beyond a certain very basic level of material wealth, the only thing that increases individual happiness over time is helping other people.
In other words, helping helps everybody, helper and helped alike.
The question is: what would help? And help most?
At Google, we don’t believe we have the answers, but we do believe the answers are out there. Maybe in a lab, or a company, or a university — but maybe not.
Maybe the answer that helps somebody is in your head, in something you’ve observed, some notion that you’ve been fiddling with, some small connection you’ve noticed, some old thing you have seen with new eyes.
If you have an idea that you believe would help somebody, we want to hear about it. We’re looking for ideas that help as many people as possible, in any way, and we’re committing the funding to launch them. You can submit your ideas and help vote on ideas from others. Final idea selections will be made by an advisory board.
Good luck, and may those who help the most win.
Le concept est interessant et avec les fonds de google ça peut aller loin.
Vous avez jusqu’au 20 octobre pour proposer des idées.
Is Sushi Safe to Eat?
A Chicago man made the papers last month for suing a restaurant that allegedly served him a parasitic tapeworm along with his undercooked salmon. So what about the sushi or sashimi that hungry buyers pick up to go during the lunch hour rush?
Sushi lovers need not fret about the raw fish they consume, food scientists say, as long as the sushi has been prepared properly according to regulations by the Food and Drug Administration. People preparing sushi themselves need to take extra care with both the raw fish and the rice. Read more »
How to Take a Sick Day When You’re Not Sick
Sometimes you just need some time to yourself — to hit a museum, get drunk in the afternoon or play Wii all night without the sound of your boss’s voice ringing in your ears. But like a lot of Americans, you’ve only got 10 days of vacation a year, and they’re already parceled out to family visits and your annual trip to Bonnaroo. Needless to say, those sick days start to look pretty tempting.
“Part of the problem of why we have to call in sick when we’re not is that we don’t really have the ‘mental health day,’” says Lilit Marcus, Editor-in-Chief of SavetheAssistants.com, a Web site devoted to helping people navigate the unpleasant office environments where we spend a large portion of our lives.
