Amazon now sell tickets
14
Aug
Amazon again shakes up world markets, now tickets, offers appear both 
on the American site and in United Kingdom, traditional ticket sellers are threatened, such as Ticket Master who saw their shares plummet on the American stock market.
It will take time to get to Brazil, but the future awaits us, what happens is that a series of events and local sales promotion, which means jobs and some money circulating in the places of the events, can be subtracted and generate more monopoly for the A site that initially sold only digital books, is now making headway in other markets.
But traditional event ticket sellers are guilty, the abusive fees they charge for sales can reach 10% at large events and events that quickly deplete tickets, without the assurance that these tickets may fall into the hands of money-changers.
One of the controls that can be observed on Amazon is the limitation of the number of tickets per payers, as they are usually registered in the site this control can be effective, of course unless they use a large number of oranges, but all must be “registered” “.
At the English site for example, you can see the ATP 1000 Nitto Tennis Finals (photo), from November 2 to 18, as well as the GlobeTrotters show, the June 2018 event, the Glastonbury Festival in New Castle, Cardiff, Manchester and Glasgow called El Sheeran which involves music, performances and theater, and many others.
The market will shake, in the stock markets already stirred falling stocks of companies that sell tickets.
IoT and data security

Jun
Many aspects of data security have been developed, but there is a maxim of computing
that states that no system is totally secure, and if we anticipate an exponential growth of connections to the Internet of Things, it is a fact that the security problem also has a growth In this proportion.
While the world of IoT has arrived (smartphones, watches, TVs, cars, glasses and other gadgets, we can say that there is a really safe IoT platform with simple operations.
To the experts, one of these basic security features is data encryption, but it must be added to the Big Data treatment, since this for the current data volume is almost indispensable, with IoT being compulsory.
IoT devices transact tons of data, cryptography is already an obvious aspect of these data, but it is still rarely used, let alone if we think from end to end, ie from producer to consumer of data, and so IoT is more gloomy.
With the advancements in quantum computing, cryptography may also not be enough to protect vital data, since quantum computers can discover cryptographic keys even faster, and algorithms though efficient now, there is no totally secure, cryptographic keys with Use of quantum computing will be more quickly opened, and while most hackers do not have access to this level of computing we can be sure, but for how long?
We must begin by rethinking two issues, BigData’s data processing and quantum-computing cryptographic keys before these features are in the hands of hackers.
Privacy data, often vital for certain systems, are and will be in check more and more

Which technologies are emerging

There are several methods of analyzing market trends, stock exchanges
like Nasdaq and many of its analysts and brokers are one type, but one highly referenced is the so-called Gartner curve.
The consultants this Gartner or Hypocycle curve, not only targets trend analysis, but mainly: “The Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies is unique to doing analysis among several sets of HypoCycles, this because it distills insights from more than 2,000 technologies in a concise set of emerging technologies and trends that will have the greatest impact on the strategic planning of certain organizations, “said Mike J. Walker, director of the consulting firm, as reported on the company’s website earlier this year.
According to the analysis of the Gartner Curve, a consulting firm for investors in the area, the virtual reality is the great emerging technology in the year 2016, augmented reality (see Pokemon) is still at the bottom of the can of the process of disillusionment.
Bilding 3D images in medical fields is aplication examples of virtual reality.
Curves between technologies that are considered criticals include 4D Printing, Brain-Computer Interface, Human Augmentation, Volumetric Displays, Affective Computing, Connected Home, Nanotube Electronics, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality e Gesture Control Devices.
Gartner clients can read more in the report “Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies, 2016.” This report is part of Gartner’s Hype Cycle Special Report for 2016
Two findings: technology and religion

We must read the history of the present moment backward, that is, in the opposite sense, 
although a dose of “desantropomorphization” is always important, that is, to attribute the whole foundation of the concepts studied to man alone, without considering his surroundings; with this the use of technology for its handling.
This means that man is what he does with nature and with his fellows around him, the important relation to the Other that the current philosophy emphasizes.
Taking a leap into history, returning to 7,000 BC, we find the Stonehenge monument in central England, and recently (in the 1990s) a cave was found with paintings dating to 30,000 BC, the Chauvet Cave.
Several studies of archeology, Stonehenge is more advanced, point two interesting facts: the technological importance, the stones of Stonehenge were moved by England from Wales, and the religious aspect: it is known that that circle is part of larger circles of Where several inhabitants came for some sort of “religious” rite.
The second discovery is more intriguing, a true art gallery was found in Chauvet, showing an already refined technique of painting and what Werner Herzog called “homo spiritualis” in his film “The Cave of Forgotten Dreams“, the only film allowed Until today of this gallery of prehistoric art.
It is important to know that both English researchers and archaeologists who research Stonehenge (see our post) and Werner Herzog who filmed Chauvet are not religious people, but the realization that there was something “spiritual” on both monuments makes us think.
Man has always lived immersed in a spiritual sphere, which Teilhard Chardin called the Noosphere and used technology, so the anthropomorphic principle is false, we are nature.
Latin America regulate IoT or not

IoT (internet of Things) is there, cars, clocks, medical equipment and other devices 
are already on the market, this should grow to the full connection between things that communicate.
According to data from the 5G Americas report “Internet de las Cosas en América Latina” (made in the Spanish language), the concern over excessive regulation may impede the business model, while in Brazil, experts point to the contrary: the need for urgent regulation, Who is right?
Both of them, but it takes a matter of common sense, in general in Brazil it regulates to the shape of the pins of the outlet (a joke, but it is true), while abroad the concern is with security and standardization for everyone to adopt similar measures .
The main concern should go to the sense that it takes a lot of attention not to prevent the advancement of a new business model while ensuring more security, but without panic and exaggeration, nothing is totally safe, but of course it is necessary to adopt measures, more Equipment will mean less security.
According to the 5G Americas report, through one of its director José Otero: “The risk of excessive or ill-conceived regulation could delay the enormous growth opportunities in the Internet of Things. For this reason, it is necessary that the entire ecosystem of actors dialogue and collaborate with regulators on this important technological advance. “
According to a Machina Research consultant, Andy Castonguay, if the fragmentation and complexity of the IoT system and its many technological approaches make the deployment a challenge, it will be somewhat dangerous if regulators are prohibitive in their mandates or if they favor Technologies.
One of the main considerations regarding public policies in the sector should be made considering the sovereignty and privacy of information and for security
IT companies and Trump

The companies that employ the most brains and foreign labor are technology companies,
and the reflexes of trying to nationalize jobs has already provoked a reaction from most companies.
Yesterday several companies had appeared, among them the giants Google, Facebook, Apple and Microsoft, which among other measures vetoed the access of natives of seven Muslim-majority countries to come to the United States, the measure is valid for 90 days and the reaction was World, with manifestation even of some rulers, like of Saudi Arabia.
Executive director Sundar Pichai, whose name already shows nationality, said that Google’s Trump order reaches about 100 employees.
Yesterday Canada, which had a one-time attack on a mosque in this country, was televised to declare support and solidarity with Muslims, as well as their desire to receive migrants who can not enter the United States, in the long run this may even Result in the transfer of some of these companies’ offices to Canada.
The owner of Tesla Elon Musk, companies that have revolutionary innovations with use of solar energy among other bombastic technological changes, which advises the Trump government.
The measure is a great setback, going back to the beginning of industrial capitalism when Adam Smith wrote the classic “Wealth of Nations”, today the raw material, brains and labor are world-wide, and, by the way, states United States was the largest beneficiary, the effect of this backward turnout will result in global backwardness, but also to the world’s largest powerhouse, yet it will immediately affect its trading partners such as Mexico and Canada.
This process is tantamount to de-globalization, as some countries in Europe, such as France and the United Kingdom, are moving in this direction, and Trump’s visit to this country already provokes many demonstrations of unpopularity.
Campus Party Brazil starts tomorrow

The tenth edition of the Campus Party, a concentration of fans, workers, 
companies and even thinkers who use a wide space to exchange experiences, products and ideas of the advances of the digital world, takes place at the Anhembi pavilion in São Paulo.
This year, there are two waves that are already booming in this environment: the internet of things and sharing, which came out of digital products and went to different areas: toys, temporary rental of houses, availability of parking spaces for travel, etc.
At the main stage where some interesting names are called and others not so much, this year will appear figures such as: Michel Nicolelis (Brazilian who is world name in neuroscience), Camille François (cyber-activist who defends privacy, anonymity, Harvard) and Paul Zaloom, (famous actor in the 90s with program The World of Beakman), and others of course.
Another novelty is the link established with UNDP (UN Development Program), which has 17 sustainable development objectives, in 100 hours will be developed what is called Big Hackathon where projects are proposed and can be undertaken by public or private initiative with Funding shared by the UN.
I highlight among these goals 8 that I consider to be urgent: Eradication of poverty, zero hunger and sustainable agriculture, quality education, clean and affordable energy, decent work and economic growth, reduction of inequalities, global action on climate and peace / justice / effective institutions .
The event starts tomorrow and admission costs $ 240 brazilian reais (around U$ 75).
Antropotechnics and Stonehenge

Anthropotechnics is the name given to the idea that it is possible to link 
anthropology and its human developments to the development of techniques that influenced civilizational and even structural change in the form of human organization, the term is due to Peter Sloterdijk who attempts to explain current technology processes In modernity.
Stonehenge is a monument from the Neolithic period, believed to have arisen in a period called by Mesolithic archaeologists between 8500 to 7000 BC (Vatcher and Vatcher, 1973) and has recently been discovered to be part of larger circles (figure 1).
It is not known how the first monuments of stones (post-holes) appeared there, but a reasonable hypothesis is that some already existed and soon others were being brought by a long period of about a thousand years, some coming from very far from regions like Wales.
One possibility studied is that the landscape of the region of Stonehenge in the past may have been especially open, which squeezes to require some technology to transport the enormous stones, there would be a kind of rectangular earthenings (the Greater call of Stonehenge and the smaller one of Cursus) that Allowed the movement of the stones in tree trunks or even in glacial glaciers that allowed the movement of the stones (French, 2012), according to figure 2.
Two stones known as Heel Stone and North Barrow were the earliest components of Stonehenge, but the circular trench with internal and external benches were built in 3000 BC and were brought out of there (Figure 3).
It is possible that features such as the Heel Stone and the low mound known as the North Barrow were early components of Stonehenge, but the earliest known main event was the construction of a circular trench with an inner and outer bank built about 3000 BC And Pearson, 2010). This area closed about 100 meters in diameter, and had two entrances. It was an early form of the henge monument (LAST, 2011).
Inside the benches and about 60 ditches were found several wooden instruments, of stones and some of them that were noticed because they were of copper, like the ones that were called ditches of Aubrey, the people buried there were around of 150 individuals, Being the largest neolithic cemetery (PEARSON, 2012).
A stone (gneiss) and found bone pins associated with cremated human remains in the Aubrey holes at Stonehenge, say that there was a graveyard.

Unveiling of the film academy 2017

There are likely to be Trump’s remarks, some reference to last year’s white Oscar, 
but nothing more patriotic and American than the festivals, La Land is interesting, but 14 nominations tell you what in fact Hollywood is very American, as not to remember the famous Hollywood musicals? It’s good, yes, but not so much.
Like this La Land equaled Titanic in 1997, and Evil in 1950, in central nominations as Best Picture, Best Director (Damien Chazelle who has won two Golden Globes), Best Actor (Ryan Gosling) and Best Actress with Emma Stone .
Behind the musical, there are 8 nominations and the drama Moonlight: Under the Moonlight, Science Fiction “The Arrival”, and then Manchester by the sea with 6 nominations and we have already said that it is not all this.
Still in the Hollywood style could not miss a war film, Mel Gibson’s “Until the Last Man” and a modern Western like “At Any Cost”; As for the dramas, are: “Stars beyond Time”, “Lion: A Journey Home” and “Fences”, which is one of my favorites along with “The Arrival”.
Meryl Streep, who in the Golden Globe where she was honored in honor of Donald Trump, hits a record with 20 Oscar nominations (only won 3) as best actress for her role in “Florence: Who’s That Woman?”.
Also noteworthy is the Englishwoman Isabelle Huppert (“Elle”) (first photo above), who should not take, but I am in her fans, along with “The arrival” (right photo),
Viola Davis has already won the Golden Globe Award for best supporting actress, could win again, but is likely to go to Naomi Harris (“Moonlight: Under the Moonlight”) (pictured below), the other nominations being: Nicole Kidman (“Lion: A Journey Home”) and Octavia Spencer (“Stars beyond Time”) do not deserve it.
Perhaps Star Wars (“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”) (pictured below) has a special effects consolation prize or sound mix, fans were expecting some more indication.
In animation Trolls had no indication, maybe Moana: an evil adventure might win, I went to watch with children who found the language a bit difficult, the others except Zootopia, who has something different, “My life of zucchini”, “The red turtle “And even the funky” Kubo and the magic ropes “is nothing special.
The award will be here a month, February 26 and will be presented by Jimmmy Kimmel.
