Personvern != Sikkerhet

Simula har, sammen med FHI, fra starten prioritert sikkerhet og personvern svært høyt i utviklingen av appen. Ulike varianter av dette sitatet finner vi mange intervjuer om Smittestopp. Politikere, helsebyråkrater og utviklerne forsikrer at sikkerhet og personvern er ivaretatt. Kontrasten til Smittestopp-havariet er oppsiktsvekkende. Hvordan kan dette forstås?

De harde og myke pakkene i 2020

For deg som er ute etter artikkelen om hvordan du kan bli en bedre designer på tre minutter – dette er ikke den artikkelen. Dette er en historie, eller en samling av historier, fra meg og fra mine kollegaer, til deg. Om hva året 2020 har gitt oss - på godt og vondt, hardt og mykt. Denne artikkelen skal ikke konkludere med noe som helst, og får deg ikke nødvendigvis til å rope heureka. Tvert i mot, det skal bare fortelles og deles, rives og åpnes. Jeg håper du liker det du får!

Validate Your Parking

He couldn't believe it. This certainly couldn't be true. Someone else must have made a mistake here. He read the email a second time. Maybe he missed something and the whole thing was just a big misunderstanding? But he didn't, of course. He is the kind of person who always pays attention to typos, therefore reading it again was quite pointless. Anger started spreading through him. How dare they? It felt so incredibly stupid and unfair. Especially considering he was such a law-abiding citizen. He despised those who didn't follow rules. They couldn't possibly mean that he was one of them? Yet this is exactly what the email was saying: "We can inform you that you unfortunately have used the wrong licence plate in the app, which is why you have been given a fine. In this case the fine is issued on AB12345, while parking was activated for AB1234 in the app.". Filled with rage, he locked his phone and shoved it back into his pocket. He missed one bloody number!
