LE MONDE : Les géants de la tech, qui paraissaient intouchables, enregistrent depuis le début de l’année des pertes monumentales en Bourse et licencient à tour de bras.
Dans la Silicon Valley, la vague de licenciements dans les industries technologiques a été accueillie avec un certain fatalisme. Le ralentissement était inévitable, estiment les experts. Pour l’industrie technologique, la situation marque néanmoins un tournant. La fin d’une période de vingt ans d’expansion sans précédent.
Les géants de la tech, qui paraissaient intouchables, ne le sont plus. Leur puissance était sortie renforcée de la crise sanitaire, lorsque le numérique était devenu l’unique échappatoire vers le monde extérieur. Le travail à distance, le commerce en ligne semblaient promis à devenir la norme ; le tout-numérique, à dominer l’économie post-pandémie. La chute n’en est que plus spectaculaire. » | Par Corine Lesnes (San Francisco, correspondante) | vendredi 18 novembre 2022

Democracy is an illusion! It’s become a political system fostered by the élite, for the élite, in order to fool the people that they have a stake in the system. In actual fact, they have virtually none. The whole political system in the modern era, despite having noble beginnings, is now used to benefit the few at the expense of the many. – Mark Alexander, June 29, 2018

THE GUARDIAN: Former prime minister to bring his 'global relationships' to venture capital firm
Tony Blair's lucrative list of business activities lengthened yesterday with a job as an adviser to a Silicon Valley venture capital firm, Khosla Ventures, that specialises in promoting environmentally friendly technology.
The former prime minister is to lend his expertise and his "global relationships" to the California-based company, which is led by Indian-born billionaire Vinod Khosla, one of the founders of the computer firm Sun Microsystems.
Khosla recently raised $1bn from investors to pump into promising technologies aimed at cutting carbon emissions. He is a proponent of ethanol fuel as an alternative to petrol, and he has come in for criticism for benefiting from US government subsidies towards food-based ethanol production. >>> Andrew Clark in New York | Tuesday, May 25, 2010
