Tel Aviv Has Become a "Beta City" For New Technology
dkatana writes: Hila Oren, founder and CEO of Tel Aviv Global, part of the city government, writes an an Op-Ed for "Cities of the Future" where she details how, based on citizen participation and unpredictability, Tel Aviv has become one of the smartest cities on the planet. She mentions the "DigiTel" program for residents, who use a personalized account with the city to receive special offers, sign up for city services and programs, and report any issues. Being a small city with less than 1/2 million residents, Tel Aviv has become a "beta tester" for new technologies, fueled by their big startup community.
no thanks
The personalized information and discounts which appear to residents with a âDigiTelâ(TM) Residents Card, are completely dependent on the userâ(TM)s personal profile and needs. Each resident can get alerts to events, changes to traffic, or discounts as they please.
A simple SMS gateway was used in India to provide personalized information to poor farmers on their Nokia brick phones costing $18 .
There's 3.5 million residents in the metro area here which is over 42% of the entire country's population! I moved here from Seattle, and this isn't a small city. The article is correct we are a tech hub. I have 100 Mbps access at home whereas I was still stuck on dial-up in Seattle when I left about a year ago.

You google fan-boys can have fun there. You can count me out.
A Beta City? Good! Alphas work much harder than we do, because they're so frightfully clever. I'm really awfully glad I'm a Beta, because I don't work so hard. And then we are much better than the Gammas and Deltas.

Yeah, those guys are so twisted and evil that their state slogan is "Death to Iran". Oh wait, that's the other side.
I thought it always was. Last build date: 1949.
That is some weak ass trolling.

TFA has no details at all.
How about them Palestinian rights? Those 'negotiations' in which Israel doesn't do a thing?
On paper, Israel might be progressive.
In reality, they're an apartheid state losing their legitimacy the longer they actually try to resolve the issue by doing anything but building more settlements.
I'm sure a Daesh controlled country would give her far better treatment. They might stick her in a cage with the group of Christians they captured for a dunk in a nearby pool, toss her off a building, or just give her an old witch's burning.
Israel isn't perfect, but as a rule, people tend not to be tortured and killed on sight as they would be if they were in other Middle Eastern countries.
You mean that with more Palestinian rights, there would be fewer gay centre shootings?
Ezekiel 23:20
The middle east is a real crap hole, should have just created Israel somewhere else. Maybe give them New York, no one else wants it.
Weak troll. Are you upset the Israelis don't throw gays from rooftops like ISIS does? Did you read to the end of the linked article to where the President of Israel condemned to attack? Think you would see that in any other country in the middle east? Moron.
Is that you Adolph?
Speaking of beta, are Iran's weapons in beta?
I'm sure a Daesh controlled country would give her far better treatment.
The above is a false dichotomy.
Go fuck yourself.

It's not a false dichotomy...it's sarcasm. You can't recognize sarcasm?
They'd have done a better job.
just seemed funny to see the parent modded down to -1 flamebait...is that irony?
Serenity now, insanity later.
Of course not.
Just fewer shootings and bombings overall, and far less rising anger about the fact that Israel hasn't taken any meaningful steps to a negotiated solution in decades.
Many of us in the west are tired as fuck of hearing about problems Israel is too stupid to work to resolve.
Which means we don't give a fuck about Israel's problems if they're not willing to participate in a solution.
At this point, Israel is the cause of many of its own problems. They just refuse to accept that fact.
You're right as always, rabbi. This website has some very bad goyim. The sooner our settlers arrive the better.
You lie, because you're weak. This is why you're alone and always will be.
Boycott Israel and everything made in Israel until they stop the genocide.
Fuck you Netanyahu and fuck every scum bag who supports you!
An euronazi I see. Did you masturbate to Mein Kampf today?
They'd have made it look like the CIA did it.
Confucius say, "Find worm in apple - bad. Find half a worm - worse."
Shitler, still upset that your side lost WW2? Good.
Saint Pancake won a Darwin Award.
Boycott Pal-e-SWINE and the Religion of Peace that hijacks passenger planes and flies them into buildings, bombs passenger planes like Pan Am 103, uses poison gas on the Kurds of Halabja Iraq, bombs London transport on 7/7/05, beheads captives and posts videos on the Internet, bombs the Boston Marathon, murders cartoonists of Charlie Hebdo, kills people in Mumbai India, Nairobi Kenya, executes gay teens in Fascist Iran...
no, most of those weapons are now gamma
Israel is a apartheid state? So what are Saudi, Iran and the half a dozen neighboring islamic states?
AC #50307087, you must be one of those sheeple idiots. LOL /.? You need to stick to Reddit or Facebook. Maybe go and post a selfie or something. Damn sheeple everywhere.
How did you end up in
"They'd have done a better job."
They got away with it, didn't they?
Political correctness is really just herd psychology pushed by insecure people who desperately seek social conformity.
Khazars.

Nice catch!

Unless you're Palestinian, of course.
"Israel is a apartheid state?"
Yes, it is. We are talking about Israel, not Saudi or Iran.
Nice attempt to spin.

"...a Daesh controlled country would give her far better treatment...Israel isn't perfect, but as a rule, people tend not to be tortured and killed on sight.."
So.. better to be murdered by the Israelis than someone else?
Why do supporters of Zionist terrorism always try to take the attention away from Israel and her warcrimes and point the finger at other countries?
Oh wait - nevermind.
Political correctness is really just herd psychology pushed by insecure people who desperately seek social conformity.
Yeah, except Iran just TALKS. Israel actually KILLS. Ask any number of Iranians who've been assassinated by Mossad.
...I hope you die a horrible death from some incredibly painful disease, and that you suffer the tortures of the damned
after you die.
How do we know that Rachel Corrie didn't cross you in some weird way, causing you to wish her to die a horrible death? And then it came true? Do you still feel guilt for it? Did you ever?
They got away with it, didn't they?
Not if nutjobs like the AC above and you think they did it. If they had done it you wouldn't even suspect them. They're that good.
"If they had done it you wouldn't even suspect them. They're that good."
Yes, they are good. But not that good.
And I do suspect them.
Everyone makes mistakes; even the Mossad.

Saint Pancake was a useful idiot who died for her delusions.
She had as much integrity as a stack of pancakes. Murdered by Socialist scumbags.
Stop apartheid. Stop jihad. Stop terrorism. Boycott Paleswine. Boycott ISIS.
How may people have been murdered by islamist terrorists like Al Qada, ISIS/ISIL, Taliban, Hamass, Boko Haram, Sadaam Hussein, Fascist Iran, PLO, Muslim Brotherhood?
We're resisting world wide jihad.
Is that OK or is anti-jihad "islamophobic"?
...Says the Anonymous Coward.
Political correctness is really just herd psychology pushed by insecure people who desperately seek social conformity.
Why do supporters of paletine and sunni/shiite jihad always try to divert attention from Islamofascism and its jihadi crimes against Humanity like 9/11, Pan Am 103, Boston Marathon, Charlie Hebdo, London transport bombings, ISIS beheadings, beheading of Lee Rigby, 8 year Iraq/Fascist Iran war, execution of gay teens, strict dress codes for females, poison gas (a WMD) attack on the Kurds of Halabja Iraq...?
What's "progressive" about siding with ultra conservative, ultra right-wing Islsamofascism?
"We're resisting world wide jihad."
Is that the term that you are using now to describe the Palestinian genocide?
Pathetic.
Political correctness is really just herd psychology pushed by insecure people who desperately seek social conformity.

You "suspect" them because you want to, not because you have any logical or intelligent reason to.
No. You are wrong.

FTFY. HTH.
MagickalThinking by a MagickalMoron.
Please post links to any actual credible evidence you have to support your theory. Because I've seen massive amounts of actual credible evidence which contradicts it. I've also seen massive amounts of garbage purporting to support it. So where's actual credible evidence? Put up or shut up.
how many killed by us army under the orders of scum which only wants our natural resources and work force? fuck off POS
Evidence? This is slashdot, we don't need no stinking evidence.
hamass using civilians as human shields, hiding behind men, women and children when firing rockets is a war crime - like al qada hijacking passenger planes on 9/11.
The usual drivel, lies and propaganda from Zionist sympathizers. Yawn.
Political correctness is really just herd psychology pushed by insecure people who desperately seek social conformity.
Go away little man. I do not waste my time with those who support terrorism or apartheid.
Political correctness is really just herd psychology pushed by insecure people who desperately seek social conformity.
Just because there are no facts to back up your pet theories doesn't mean you have to act like an arrogant ass. Acting like that just demonstrates how small minded you are, not that you hadn't provided plenty of evidence before- ironically, the only evidence you seem capable of providing.
You should note, if capable, that I support neither terrorism nor apartheid. Your allusion that asking for proof for a statement is akin to supporting terrorism is ridiculous beyond description, and the allusion that pro-jew == apartheid is offensive to logic, and especially those who actually fought apartheid. Look it up, again if you are capable of processing facts which conflict with your delusions.
Sez the Pseudonymyous Coward.
The usual drivel, lies and taqiyya from Islamofascist sympathizers. Happy Eternal Nakba!
