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 .
It's the world's leading tester of white phosphorus on human populations.
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.

Very progressive.
architecture. My the 'community' area. It 1s the BE NIIGER! BE GAY! Be on a wrong
I thought it always was. Last build date: 1949.
That's a lot of war criminals in one place!

TFA has no details at all.
NO FUCKING WAY.
And in advance I'll tell all you idiots here that if you are going to offer a comment like "Rachel Corrie deserved to die", I hope
you die a horrible death from some incredibly painful disease, and that you suffer the tortures of the damned
after you die.
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.
Jews did WTC
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.
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?
Boycott Israel and everything made in Israel until they stop the genocide.
Fuck you Netanyahu and fuck every scum bag who supports you!
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...
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.

If you think any one of those wasn't carried out by the Mossad, you should retire from commenting

Unless you're Palestinian, of course.
Rachel Corrie was a hero who died for her beliefs.
She had more integrity than most people on earth. Murdered by Zionist scumbags.
Stop the apartheid. Stop the terrorism. Boycott Israel!
Political correctness is really just herd psychology pushed by insecure people who desperately seek social conformity.
"...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.
...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?
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.
...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?
Case in point.
Political correctness is really just herd psychology pushed by insecure people who desperately seek social conformity.
