"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

His dad had other plans for him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As a kid, my dad was a big gearhead,\" Faudoa says, \"so he was pushing me in the direction like, 'You have to be an auto mechanic, Adan, because this is where the money is at.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But over time, Faudoa began to see things a little differently. He noticed the people moving into his neighborhood were programmers and people working for tech companies. He decided he'd fight hard to become one of them, even though there aren't too many people of color in the industry. In the end, he landed a job at the music streaming service Pandora, one of the first tech companies to \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Office-Space-Pandora-perks-include-free-gadget-5940432.php\">set up shop in Oakland\u003c/a>.

Kapor says that in the not-so-distant past, when he told people that tech would come to Oakland, they were skeptical. \"Five years ago, people thought I'd grown a second head,\" Kapor says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But \u003ca href=\"http://www.kaporcenter.org/founders-staff/\">Kapor and his wife, Freada Kapor Klein\u003c/a>, saw Oakland as the perfect place to carry out their shared mission: to create diversity within tech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's all of the platitudes that diversity's good for business,\" Kapor Klein says. \"But you look around tech, and you look at how hugely profitable companies like Google and Facebook (are) — all these behemoths — and they're staggeringly undiverse, and they're doing just fine. So we need to focus on different strategies.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"LWHag56umloIMXOhybZ40qSVr2SgAilL\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Kapors invest in strategies that eliminate bias in the tech industry, whether it's through new training programs or by redesigning the application process and performance reviews. Kapor says that sometimes the culture of the workplace itself can be the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If a company is made up entirely of, let's say, recent Stanford graduates, maybe fraternity brothers, and there's sort of a bro culture, you're going to feel left out,\" he says. \"You can't actually be who you are.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At \u003ca href=\"https://getclef.com/about/\">Clef\u003c/a>, a data security startup in Oakland, some of the founders did originally meet through networks in college.

He noticed the people moving into his neighborhood were programmers and people working for tech companies. He decided he'd fight hard to become one of them, even though there aren't too many people of color in the industry. In the end, he landed a job at the music streaming service Pandora, one of the first tech companies to \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Office-Space-Pandora-perks-include-free-gadget-5940432.php\">set up shop in Oakland\u003c/a>.

It is the seventh-most-visited website in the world, drawing more traffic than Twitter, LinkedIn or eBay. But unlike those tech companies, Wikipedia is a nonprofit with a relatively small staff. It has less manpower to show off its achievements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hashemi decided he wanted to help bring attention to the free, open-source encyclopedia. So he teamed up with his friend, Stephen LaPorte, and the two started writing programs in their spare time to show what Wikipedia does. It is the kind of promotional work that nearby for-profit tech companies spend boatloads on, LaPorte says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All these startups, when you go into their lobby they have this cool visualization that shows the few hundred people using their site, and something like Wikipedia doesn’t have the same level of professional polish,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LaPorte, who has since become a lawyer for Wikipedia, went to college with Hashemi in the Midwest. The 20-somethings started collaborating three years ago at a Wikipedia hackathon. Hashemi was disappointed by how few local programmers showed up and stayed late. At one point he looked around and the only ones left were him and LaPorte.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘So we were both these like wide-eyed kids from Nebraska who’d come out planning on doing just this sort of thing.’ \u003ccite>Mahmoud Hashemi, Programmer\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Hashemi says, “So we were both these like wide-eyed kids from Nebraska who’d come out planning on doing just this sort of thing, figuring that, yeah, everyone else is here to do the same.

Strings mean they deleted something. The deeper the note, the bigger the edit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are several edits every second on Wikipedia, thousands every hour.

I think I drove my roommate crazy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Hashemi, this whole project is a welcome respite from the culture of Silicon Valley. He feels like most people here are obsessed only with making money and technology for technology’s sake.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘It’s absurd.

But generally, Hashemi says, the hypercapitalist culture of “The Valley,” crushes the creativity and promise of programmers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hashemi says, “I see so many promising kids not unlike myself coming into these big organizations, and they’re very eager, energetic. And frankly, these sorts of companies are built on the backs of these kids and it’s messed up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hashemi is 29 years old. The Internet was young when he was young. It was weird, full of possibilities. He started teaching himself how to program on sites like Wikipedia.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘There was just so much trust and purity then, but we can never go back to those times, unfortunately.’ \u003ccite>Mahmoud Hashemi, Programmer\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“There were no Nigerian princes, and you know spam was still mostly a food,” Hashemi says. “There was just so much trust and purity then, but we can never go back to those times, unfortunately.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hashemi is not quitting his day job anytime soon, and he does not expect other programmers to either. He and LaPorte just hope more programmers are inspired to contribute their valuable skills to something they feel good about and really believe in.\u003c/p>\n\n",

So he teamed up with his friend, Stephen LaPorte, and the two started writing programs in their spare time to show what Wikipedia does. It is the kind of promotional work that nearby for-profit tech companies spend boatloads on, LaPorte says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All these startups, when you go into their lobby they have this cool visualization that shows the few hundred people using their site, and something like Wikipedia doesn’t have the same level of professional polish,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LaPorte, who has since become a lawyer for Wikipedia, went to college with Hashemi in the Midwest. The 20-somethings started collaborating three years ago at a Wikipedia hackathon. Hashemi was disappointed by how few local programmers showed up and stayed late. At one point he looked around and the only ones left were him and LaPorte.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘So we were both these like wide-eyed kids from Nebraska who’d come out planning on doing just this sort of thing.’ \u003ccite>Mahmoud Hashemi, Programmer\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Hashemi says, “So we were both these like wide-eyed kids from Nebraska who’d come out planning on doing just this sort of thing, figuring that, yeah, everyone else is here to do the same. And instead it was just the two of us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What they started working on that night grew into \u003ca href=\"http://www.hatnote.com\">Hatnote.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hatnote is a collection of programs Hashemi and LaPorte have written to shine light on Wikipedia. They have created interactive maps, data visualizations and a program that will email you the most edited articles every week. But their most successful project has been Listen to Wikipedia. Over 2 million people have seen and heard it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With \u003ca href=\"http://listen.hatnote.com/#en\">Listen to Wikipedia\u003c/a>, you can hear all the edits to the encyclopedia in real time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10761648\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/LTW4.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10761648\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/LTW4-800x380.png\" alt=\"With Listen to Wikipedia you can hear and see the encyclopedia being edited in real time\" width=\"800\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/LTW4-800x380.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/LTW4-400x190.png 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/LTW4-1180x560.png 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/LTW4-960x455.png 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/LTW4.png 1347w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">With Listen to Wikipedia you can hear and see the encyclopedia being edited in real time \u003ccite>(Sam Harnett/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>LaPorte shows me the program on his laptop. Whenever someone makes any edit on Wikipedia, a colored ball appears with the name of the article, along with a sound. Bells mean someone just added to an article. Strings mean they deleted something. The deeper the note, the bigger the edit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are several edits every second on Wikipedia, thousands every hour. Hearing them all still mesmerizes Hashemi and LaPorte.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LaPorte says, “There was a few month period where I couldn’t listen to it because I spent so much time tuning the notes. I think I drove my roommate crazy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Hashemi, this whole project is a welcome respite from the culture of Silicon Valley. He feels like most people here are obsessed only with making money and technology for technology’s sake.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘It’s absurd. We programmers by and large end up doing a lot of things because we can, not because we should.’ \u003ccite>Mahmoud Hashemi, Programmer\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“It’s absurd,” Hashemi says. “We programmers by and large end up doing a lot of things because we can, not because we should.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hashemi works for PayPal, which he is relatively positive about because it is a payment platform, not a startup trying to monetize people. But generally, Hashemi says, the hypercapitalist culture of “The Valley,” crushes the creativity and promise of programmers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hashemi says, “I see so many promising kids not unlike myself coming into these big organizations, and they’re very eager, energetic. And frankly, these sorts of companies are built on the backs of these kids and it’s messed up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hashemi is 29 years old. The Internet was young when he was young. It was weird, full of possibilities. He started teaching himself how to program on sites like Wikipedia.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘There was just so much trust and purity then, but we can never go back to those times, unfortunately.’ \u003ccite>Mahmoud Hashemi, Programmer\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“There were no Nigerian princes, and you know spam was still mostly a food,” Hashemi says. “There was just so much trust and purity then, but we can never go back to those times, unfortunately.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hashemi is not quitting his day job anytime soon, and he does not expect other programmers to either. He and LaPorte just hope more programmers are inspired to contribute their valuable skills to something they feel good about and really believe in.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>You've probably seen \u003ca href=\"http://www.squareup.com\">Square's white plastic reader\u003c/a> -- it's a small square that plugs in to a smartphone or tablet. Customers swipe their card and the money is put into the merchant's Square account. It's really easy for small and new businesses to get an account.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The service is getting extra attention this week because of its \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2015/11/19/456677714/do-underwhelming-square-match-ipos-mean-bubble-trouble\" target=\"_blank\">initial public offering on Thursday\u003c/a> -- a market debut that left many observers underwhelmed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To understand Square's basic value proposition, consider Michael Barzman. After years of working as an auctioneer for other people, he went out on his own. He started using Square but after a few transactions received an email that said, \"Hello Michael. We are sorry to inform you that we are deactivating your account. Our account services team has reviewed your account and found a pattern of transactions associated with high risk activity.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barzman didn't understand why Square froze his account. Square was also holding more than $10,000 of his money and wouldn't release it for 90 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I thought that was such an exorbitant amount of time and it freaked me out being a new business,\" says Barzman. \"My initial thought was, 'I'm done, this is going to be the end of me.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even worse, Barzman says that once your account is deactivated you can't get anyone on the phone from Square. Fortunately, Barzman had a business partner who helped him out financially.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Low Fees Attract Merchants\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Search for \"Square account deactivation\" online and stories just like Barzman's pop up. Take Gary Gaskill, who recently started a business selling packaging equipment — boxes, tape dispensers and stuff like that. He'd heard about Square.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Their prices were right,\" says Gaskill. \"And, you know, it looked like a good deal and so I bought into it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But after he did a few transactions, Gaskill received the same email that Barzman got. His account was closed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They refused to tell you why they closed the account,\" says Gaskill. \"It was like, why would you do this and not be able to tell somebody? It's my account. Why can't you tell me why you closed my account? And you're holding my money!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Security experts say a 90-day hold on a potentially fraudulent account is within the norm. And Square has a right to be jumpy, says Marc Abbey, a managing partner at First Annapolis Consulting, which advises banks, payment networks and retailers. Abbey says Square takes risks on pop-ups and food trucks -- businesses that never would have been authorized to take credit cards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And all of those characteristics lead to a higher level of risk for a company like Square,\" says Abbey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Square: Must Protect Us and Our Customers\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, Square says it's trying to balance the needs of sellers with the necessity of protecting itself against fraud. If the credit card charges turn out to be fraudulent, Square is on the hook. It says the number of dissatisfied customers is small. Because the company just went public, its ability to speak further is limited by law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amad Ebrahimi runs a website called Merchant Maverick, which reviews mobile payment companies. He's had hundreds of complaints about Square on his site. He doesn't see a good reason for the lack of communication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There should be some investment in a risk department that focuses exclusively on phone communication and getting these issues resolved as quickly as possible,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Ebrahimi points out that Square is no longer alone in mobile payments. There's PayPal, traditional banks and smaller competitors like Flint — which Ebrahimi favors because it has good customer support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Auctioneer Michael Barzman says word is getting out that Square isn't always user-friendly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You could not force me to use Square again!\" says Barzman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Square does have phone help for active accounts, but it hasn't solved the problem of customers who have their accounts terminated. They're left out in the cold with no one to talk to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2015 NPR.

Customers swipe their card and the money is put into the merchant's Square account. It's really easy for small and new businesses to get an account.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The service is getting extra attention this week because of its \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2015/11/19/456677714/do-underwhelming-square-match-ipos-mean-bubble-trouble\" target=\"_blank\">initial public offering on Thursday\u003c/a> -- a market debut that left many observers underwhelmed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To understand Square's basic value proposition, consider Michael Barzman. After years of working as an auctioneer for other people, he went out on his own. He started using Square but after a few transactions received an email that said, \"Hello Michael. We are sorry to inform you that we are deactivating your account. Our account services team has reviewed your account and found a pattern of transactions associated with high risk activity.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barzman didn't understand why Square froze his account. Square was also holding more than $10,000 of his money and wouldn't release it for 90 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I thought that was such an exorbitant amount of time and it freaked me out being a new business,\" says Barzman. \"My initial thought was, 'I'm done, this is going to be the end of me.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Fortunately, Barzman had a business partner who helped him out financially.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Low Fees Attract Merchants\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Search for \"Square account deactivation\" online and stories just like Barzman's pop up. Take Gary Gaskill, who recently started a business selling packaging equipment — boxes, tape dispensers and stuff like that. He'd heard about Square.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Their prices were right,\" says Gaskill. \"And, you know, it looked like a good deal and so I bought into it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But after he did a few transactions, Gaskill received the same email that Barzman got. His account was closed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They refused to tell you why they closed the account,\" says Gaskill. \"It was like, why would you do this and not be able to tell somebody? It's my account. Why can't you tell me why you closed my account? And you're holding my money!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Security experts say a 90-day hold on a potentially fraudulent account is within the norm. And Square has a right to be jumpy, says Marc Abbey, a managing partner at First Annapolis Consulting, which advises banks, payment networks and retailers. Abbey says Square takes risks on pop-ups and food trucks -- businesses that never would have been authorized to take credit cards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And all of those characteristics lead to a higher level of risk for a company like Square,\" says Abbey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Square: Must Protect Us and Our Customers\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, Square says it's trying to balance the needs of sellers with the necessity of protecting itself against fraud. If the credit card charges turn out to be fraudulent, Square is on the hook. It says the number of dissatisfied customers is small. Because the company just went public, its ability to speak further is limited by law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amad Ebrahimi runs a website called Merchant Maverick, which reviews mobile payment companies. He's had hundreds of complaints about Square on his site. He doesn't see a good reason for the lack of communication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There should be some investment in a risk department that focuses exclusively on phone communication and getting these issues resolved as quickly as possible,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Ebrahimi points out that Square is no longer alone in mobile payments. There's PayPal, traditional banks and smaller competitors like Flint — which Ebrahimi favors because it has good customer support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Auctioneer Michael Barzman says word is getting out that Square isn't always user-friendly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You could not force me to use Square again!\" says Barzman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Square does have phone help for active accounts, but it hasn't solved the problem of customers who have their accounts terminated. They're left out in the cold with no one to talk to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2015 NPR.

Around this time last year, San Jose shut down “The Jungle,” one of the largest homeless encampments in the nation. The forced exit of more than 300 people living along the banks of Coyote Creek garnered international headlines, as well as local coverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A year later, The Jungle is fenced off, but thousands of people are still camping out in creekbeds and freeway underpasses all over the city. In the most recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/opa/nr/Documents/SantaClaraCounty_HomelessReport_2015_FINAL.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">point-in-time survey\u003c/a> conducted for the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Santa Clara County had 6,556 homeless people. That represents a drop of more than 1,000 people from 2014, but it’s still a substantial population. San Jose’s share of that was 4,063.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/234020500″ params=”color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false” width=”100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while Silicon Valley’s explosive economic growth didn’t create the homeless problem, experts say it made it worse for the homeless — and the working poor, who struggle to pay the cost of rising rents. Many of the working poor are just one job loss or health crisis away from becoming homeless themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Chronically Homeless\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brian and Andrea Rodriquez fell into that situation. They used to own a five-bedroom house in San Jose. But a complicated series of job and health setbacks led them from that home to motel rooms, then a car, and then the creeks, including The Jungle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brian recalls that day they first wandered into The Jungle. “My wife was clinging to me, but we had nowhere to go,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s 50, she’s 49, and they’ve been homeless for the better part of two years now.

She needs to replace her knees, but even though she has Medi-Cal, she has no place to recuperate from the operations. Brian has Medi-Cal, too. He can’t refrigerate the insulin he takes for diabetes. He’s learned the hard way: If insulin cooks in the South Bay heat, it’s no good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s been in the hospital several times,” says Andrea\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The challenge facing Andrea and Brian is not to become “chronically homeless.” Unlike people who dip in and out of homelessness, the chronically homeless are stuck on the streets, in large part because of serious physical and mental health issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To address this problem, many California cities with large homeless populations — Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego — have committed to a strategy called “housing first.” The idea is that providing a chronically homeless person a place to live is less expensive for the government in the long run, not to mention a more compassionate approach.

A loss of human life anywhere is a tragedy, and we're committed to doing our part to help people in more of these situations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In times like this, it's important to remind ourselves that despite the alarming frequency of these terrible events, violence is actually at an all-time low in history and continues to decline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deaths from war are lower than ever, murder rates are generally dropping around the world, and -- although it's hard to believe -- even terrorist attacks are declining.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Please don't let a small minority of extremists make you pessimistic about our future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every member of our community spreads empathy and understanding on a daily basis.

Small ones are some watershed organizations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year Dangermond donated about $11 million to the Audubon Society to, among other things, help it forecast the effect of climate change on several hundred bird species over the next century.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10761398\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/BIG-THINK-Lunar.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10761398 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/BIG-THINK-Lunar-800x528.jpg\" alt=\"Screen grab from ESRI digital mapping software program. \" width=\"800\" height=\"528\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/BIG-THINK-Lunar-800x528.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/BIG-THINK-Lunar-400x264.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/BIG-THINK-Lunar-1440x950.jpg 1440w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/BIG-THINK-Lunar.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/BIG-THINK-Lunar-1180x779.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/BIG-THINK-Lunar-960x634.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Screen grab from ESRI digital mapping software program. \u003ccite>(ESRI )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And last year ESRI pledged $1 billion worth of mapping software to public schools as part of \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/issues/education/k-12/connected\">President Obama’s Connected program.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s now a push to get ESRI software into the hands of public health agencies in vulnerable parts of the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Like Ivory Coast and Myanmar so they can track diseases,” says Dangermond, who recently visited World Health Organization headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, to observe ESRI software in action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And I went into their control room where they have been working for the last 12 months on Ebola, watching the spread and emergence of this crippling disease,” he says. “They are mapping the patterns and the changes that are occurring daily in the Ebola spread.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mapping, says Dangermond, has essentially helped corral Ebola into a box.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“\u003c/em>Geographically speaking,” he says. “By locating where the hospitals should go, setting up quarantine areas and other resources using maps and geography as a framework.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If there’s one thing that surfaces throughout my conversation with Jack Dangermond, it’s an expectation he has.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a hope that the mapping software he pioneered amid the orange groves of a quaint little Southern California town will somehow help create a better world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We sort of blindly expect it to work out, and right now it’s not working out so well,” says Dangermond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I read the [news] this morning.
