Networking media fight for privacity

Apple expects the outcome of the fight against the US government that
wants to release software that keeps sensitive data of this company, Apple is a private company that keeps your software and private content, to say something about the “privacy”.
I believe it will take, then the feature that Apple introduced in February to a court to unblocking one phone to the FBI of the December 2015 shooting of authors in the Californian city of San Bernardino (left there 14 dead and 22 wounded) still follow the American justice system and we do not know where it will stop.
For the company’s bitten apple, the repercussions would cause “significant damage to civil liberties, society and national security” as news of the Guardian.
Also according to the British tabloid the next few weeks the Whatsapp plans to expand its coding systems so that also your voice messages are encrypted, as well as messages in groups, also Facebook will launch tools soon as Snapchat and Google work in this direction .
According to experts in Silicon Valley’s leading companies on the issue of privacy at the time that Apple locks the legal battle with the United States Department of Justice, other companies will in the vacuum of this battle.
Even the British newspaper reports that the projects of these companies indicate that the industry is willing to publicly support Apple with concrete actions against the demands of the US government, then the fight will open.
Everything is obvious, if you know

Duncan J. Watts is author known networks because their work on how networks
function, an essential aspect is that the six degrees of freedom, whereby through six degrees of connection, we are connected to all, depending of course on the insertion any network, there are those invisible that are not seen by any network.
His book Everything is obvious, since you know the answer (as common sense deceives us), gives clues to a new way of thinking, published in 2011 had a translation of Peace and Earth in 2015, explains the misconceptions about future.
Explains that contemporary rationalization is beneficial, but it can lead to misunderstandings “. The implicit belief that people are rational until proven otherwise is an optimistic belief, even sensible to be encouraged” (WATTS, 2015 pp . 47)
The basic problem is when we want to pass it to people: “However, exercise to rationalize the behavior overshadows an important difference between what we mean when we talk about” understand “human behavior, as opposed to the behavior of electrons, proteins or planets.” (WATTS, 2015, pp. 47)
And clarifies that being a network, can not be confused with these electrons or proteins, “But none are expected to understand how to be an electron – no doubt, even the notion of such an expectation is laughable.” (WATTS, 2015 pp. 48)
This is where media networks (which are technologies) can affect people (that are connected through the media).
The electric car batteries evolve

The lithium ions are those that feed many mobile
devices, but use this technology in automobiles has proved difficult, and the current batteries in electric car have little autonomy (80 to 100 km only).
Now researchers at the University of Cambridge are researching a kind of battery called lithium-air or lithium-oxygen, which can provide 10 times more energy, and even sufficient power to compare with gasoline, but it still involves some problems practical.
Now researchers at Cambridge University say they have patented a technology that overcomes some of the main obstacles, according to Clare Grey, project researcher and chemistry professor at the University of Cambridge, now “a significant achievement” of his team already has progress towards high capacity “as we take efficiency to numbers that compete with the current lithium-ion technology.”
With an efficiency of up to 93%, and does so using a different chemical from that used in previous attempts: employing lithium hydroxide (LiOH) in place of lithium peroxide (Li2O2), and also using carbon electrode in the base of the graphene and “additives that alter the chemical reactions at work on the battery, making it more stable and more efficient,” said the researcher.
The result is published in the journal Science.
Addicted to digital technology

Most people often confuse the fact that there are people addicted to technology,
with the fact that digital technology is a new kind of “drug” that infected everyone.
There are very simple ways to diagnose and combat addiction to technology, explains the medical Nerina Ramlakhan, specialist in energy and techniques to cool sleeping Nightingale Hospital in London, told BBC News.
He explained by saying that this is for people who can not turn off the same gadgets before bed:. “So you live in survival mode Your sympathetic nervous system is working in forced pace I suppose you feel miserable afternoon what. means that your body is acting on the basis of epinephrine, norepinephrine and cortisol, “then you really are hooked.
The profile of patients is almost always the same: perfectionism tendency to want to control everything and bruxism (teeth grinding while sleeping).
One of the self-radicas forms is receiving continuous doses of dopamine, a hormone released in the brain by the hypothalamus, thus improves motivation, increases the heartbeat, improves mood, better able to process information and more sleep, explained Dr. Ramlakhan .
She recommends four simple steps recipe to control this addiction:
– Creating a “sunset electronic” go away electronic devices, for example, read a book (not electronic).
– Keep the clock away overnight, not to tell time with this avoids the type anxieties: I have to sleep, I can not relax, etc.
– Do not use your smartphone as an alarm clock, recharge healthy energy: have breakfast, but in half an hour after waking prefer other beverage to coffee.
– Keep yourself hydrated at least two liters of water a day.
Of course, the important thing is to use technology only necessary and avoid “technology fatigue”.
Crise da Razão Cínica
04
Sep
A razão foi e é ainda o grande motor da modernidade, a falta de consciência
do que seja isto levou a uma análise superficial chamada “líquida”, no qual tudo o que sólido vai se liquefazendo, sem dizerem qual o liquidificador que faz isto, nem a raiz primária do líquido. O quadro “mascaras” do alemão Heinrich Hoerle Malscaras, de 1929, parece detectar este movimento de cinismo envolto em máscaras humanas vidas, o homem do pré-guerra.
A ideologia e a forma de dominação das diversas organizações e hierarquias que se instalam no tecido social são o suco deste líquido, querem dominar e não conseguem mais, aquilo que o filósofo alemão chamou de o naufrágio do humanismo na escola da domesticação. Sloterdijk escreveu também a “Crítica da Razão Cínica”, um volumoso trabalho que ainda não o digeri completamente, mas com uma tese central: a razão tornou-se cínica para explicar o inexplicável, e o filósofo alemão consegue mostrar o que os “liquidificadores” não mostram: a raiz da liquefação moderna.
Parte da crítica da razão pura de Kant, desenvolve e recompõe o legado da filosofia ocidental de cunho humanista e progressista, mas rompe com Adorno, Horkheimer e Sartre.
O que está por trás do líquido moderno, é que a ideia da substituição do saber para a superação do mito, a da ordem estabelecida pelo estado como superação da natureza humana, e por último o humanismo da domesticação humana, cujo ápice foram duas guerras mundiais, não parece ter sido uma boa fórmula, então ela se liquefez.
O cinismo é justamente tentar reestabelecer uma ordem já perdida, que a humanidade fatigada não aceita mais, quer um humanismo novo: de todo homem, não dos chefes.
Verdade, método e política séria

Hans-Georg Gadamer foi um importante filósofo alemão do século XX, falecido
em 2002, e tendo dedicado seus estudos a filosofia grega e história da filosofia, foi seu livro Verdade e Método, publicado pela primeira vez em 1960, que o autor desenvolveu uma hermenêutica filosófica.
Foi aluno de Martin Heidegger, e seu assistente na Philipps-Universität Marburg, de onde tirou a historicidade para suas reflexões, e se o tempo é o horizonte ao qual submetemos toda a nossa compreensão, é nele que as teorias e ilusões se transformam em formações históricas.
Gadamer analisou o descrédito sofrido pelos preconceitos durante a instauração de todo Iluminismo, e os obstáculos que representam aqueles juízos prévios sobre tudo na busca do conhecimento e da verdade, afirmando que o Esclarecimento (Aufklãrung) foi o tribunal que queria que tudo passasse pela razão, diríamos hoje pelo crivo “partidário” daqueles que se imaginavam os donos da história e da evolução. No período áureo do valor da “razão”, todo o resto era preconceito e superstição, e a história provou que não era assim, mas temos novos tribunais da razão novamente travestidos de revolucionários, mas cujos valores de verdade e método despencam.
Esta razão é hoje a razão política, mas política de quem e determinada como verdadeira por quem ? aqueles que juravam uma grande mudança, ficam chocados com as próprias mentiras e valores que derramaram sobre a sociedade vista antes como supersticiosa, conservadora ou “fundamentalista” e agora é preciso negar até mesmo a realidade. Hoje a autoridade não pode ser confundida mais como uma necessidade de “obediência cega”, desprovida de fatos e contextos, que uma certa racionalidade proveria, mas que os fatos vão aos poucos desmentem, está esclarecido que é “um atributo de pessoas” e não de sistemas, de lógicas instrumentais ou de ideologias.
A consciência de que estamos de fato em uma crise, que aqueles que queriam desmentir ao longo do curso do desenrolar dos fatos tiveram que aceitar, e que nem mesmo tem conhecimento da profundidade desta crise, mostra que esta pretensa racionalidade ruiu.
Resta como dita o bom senso, aqueles que conseguem mantê-lo, um diálogo franco e aberto, sem mais mentiras e distorções dos fatos, este diálogo deve estar fundamentado na ideia que existe o Outro, e este não pode ser ignorado, ironizado ou estereotipado, só por não ser um EU.
We can limit the intelligence Artificial

Now is serious discussion, proximity to situations where machines can go beyond human capacity were openly discussed in Washington DC, an event sponsored by the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF), and was discussed whether surpassing human intelligence, machines place in check point the human.
The matter was reported in the Computer World and is philosophical concern
of philosophers such as Peter Sloterdijk, Hannah Arendt and Heidegger Ernest, but it is also curiously expected as singularity point,
The researcher Stuart Russel, professor of Electrical Enginnering and Comptuer Sciences at U.C. Berkerley said:. “We’re all working on pieces of it…. If we succeed, we’ll drive the human race off the cliff, but we kind of hope we’ll run out of gas before we get to the cliff. That doesn’t seem like a very good plan…. Maybe we need to steer in a different direction.”
Russell was one of the five speakers on the panel today that took on questions about A.I. and fears that the technology could one day become smarter than humans and run amok.
Also the physicist Hawking, who wrote A Brief History of Time, said in May that robots with artificial intelligence could outpace humans within the next 100 years. Late last year, he was even more blunt: “The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.”
The state as religion and networks

Jun
The phrase is Francis Fukuyama, famous for the “end of history”, but want to understand its genesis
and its development today.
It was from elaborations from Kant to Locke that the modern state ideas were consolidated, but in Hegel not only idealism reaches its apex but also the ethics of the State, the positivist science and logic as the basis for a belief “secular” in the state.
The Hegelian philosophy is based on the philosophy of identity, expressing it in religion, history and finally in the right world with his concept of the state: “In addition, for live philosophy essentially the universality of the element, which itself includes particular, it raises it, more than in other sciences, the appearance of which in the end and the last results expressed the same thing, and even his consummate essence “(Hegel, 2001).
As art Hegel in his Aesthetics courses, related philosophy with the representation of truth wrote: “For only philosophy as a whole is the knowledge of the universe as an organic necessity in itself, which develops from its own concept and in his own need to relate herself as a whole returning to you as a world of truth “(Bousaguet & Bryant, 1889).
Structure in history as the state Hegel says that the first universal form was despotism, then democracy, aristocracy, and monarchy Third, it shows that it is the State’s idea comes first materialized through the spirit becoming aware themselves in the story, so the state would be the very embodiment of history, Marx part there in his proletarian state.
Let’s look at the text: “As a result, the first form of government we had in world history was the despotism; then came democracy and aristocracy, and, thirdly, the monarchy “(ibid). Hegel shows the realization of the state as a realm of freedom for political-administrative determination as monarchy, universal instance in which the idea is materialized by through the mind becoming aware of itself in history. “(Hegel, 2001).
The state religion believes that he is all powerful, it is fair, there is crisis, networks are there to deny and demystify all this, it is not printed, but the networks of people who are there.
