The data is an IBM research, more than market share through the NASDAQ
stock exchange, where electronic and digital stocks are already glimpsed as if they were commodities (in fact, this special type of stock market is characterized by By bringing together high-tech companies in electronics, IT, telecommunications, biotechnology, etc.), it seems that Blockchain has come to stay.
According to a study by IBM, most Blockchain trading solutions are already being adopted by banks and financial institutions, it is likely that in three years it will exceed the 50% mark and can reach 65% of the business, which is a new business model of this sector.
The research is demarcated into two parts, revealing that 16% of the banks and 14% of the financial institutions that were part of the research guarantee that they intend to implement several Blockchain solution services on a large scale.
For banks, the survey showed that 65% expect to have solutions in 3 years, with a slightly slower adoption and cautious, and although they may have setbacks, the report pointed out that “These pathfinders are better positioned against the competition, which includes Companies that have been born disruptive, such as the Fintechs “, so this adoption of digital coins is practically inevitable.
The survey also pointed out that the number of adoption increases when we think of payments in retail (80%) and loan (79%), since digital platforms are available for these two types of financing.
The research points out that organizations expect that the benefits brought by
As for the public, since the barriers that prevent the fastest evolution of technology are the regulatory restrictions (56%), technological immaturity (54%) and return on investment (52%), despite the technological gap, numbers already give the majority .
Religious apostasy
14
Nov
Contrary to what is commonly known,
the apostle does not refer to a deviation or departure from faith and religious practice, most of the time it is hidden because of some difficulty in the manifestation of disbelief or remoteness.
The apostasy comes from the ancient Greek απόστασις [apostasy], “being far from” and has definite and deliberate meaning of something, such as a renunciation of faith or mere indoctrination without a questioning and an open permission of dialogue.
In a sense, even within religions the concept is present in sectors that wish to shed light on blind adherence, and also in the practice of many leaders, including Jesus who abominated Pharisaism, and in general, when a leader dies , A prophet or a great thinker, his followers want to replace him and carry out the most common type of apostasy, to deny the very founder of a chain.
But what are the most common types of apostasy these days, I can see one: fideism, if it is true that faith is believing what one does not see, it is also true that we can not believe in any human fantasy without a serious questioning , Otherwise we are creating another type of fanaticism for humanity, there are already many.
We could observe two more dangerous ones: the sociological one, the one that tries to affirm the religion with a sociological foundation that would solve the great crises of the humanity, without any social, anthropological or philosophical study; And in my view an even more dangerous one is the approximation of the faith of a certain ideological current.
Dangerous because turning an ideology into a blind faith can lead not only to bleeding wars, bigotry, and barbarism; But especially to prevent profound changes on the way in a society not by a fundamentalist defense of a society whose foundations are outdated.
Trolls is not trolling

Nov
I went to watch the cartoon Trolls,
with my niece to disguise, much more childish than Frozen, the message is more interesting because it is collective and not Manichean.
The film is in second place at the box office behind “Doctor Stranger,” and I think it’s worth it for now, according to ComScore data, the premiere of “The Light Between Oceans” can change these positions.
The story of Trolls is a sad community that has the only hope of living happiness devouring the Trolls, there being a special day of trollicide (day of eating trolls), the analogies with economic empires and the vision of exploitation of peoples, who are actually happy, And this is already a non-Manichean vision, it is very interesting, just like the final proposal.
The DreamWorks film is directed by Mike Mitchell (director Alvin and the Chipmunks 3 (2011) and SpongeBob SquarePants: A Hero Out of Water (2015)) and Walt Dohrn (Shrek creators), screenplay by Glenn Berger and Jonathan Aib, the dolls Trolls appeared in commerce in 1958.
Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) is an arrogant surgeon who, after losing his hands in a car accident, sets off on a quest for healing and ends up finding redemption as the greatest magician in the Marvel universe.
Doctor Derrickson is a director, and a team writes the script: S. Robert Cargill, Jon Spaihts, Joshua Oppenheimer, Thomas Dean Donnelly and Scott Derrickson himself.
And now Trump won?

The world is watching something that for many was unbelievable, wrote
the Spanish newspaper El País: “The politically inexperienced tycoon, who represents a leap in the dark, won from Hillary Clinton, veteran in politics,” the French newspaper Figaro compared The departure of the United Kingdom from the European Community and Le Monde in addition to comparing the brexit stated: ” If the vote for Brexit (the departure of the United Kingdom from the EU) on 23 June was an earthquake for the European Union, the Donald Trump’s election as head of the United States, the first military power, is an earthquake for the world. ”
Most analysts prefer to expect something of the kind that will make it different from what they said, build walls with Mexico, would be a new wall of shame, expel immigrants en masse, prohibit the entry of Islamists into the country, and create trade barriers are mostly illegal measures .
The economies have already reacted, but the world’s largest power will be able to isolate itself economically, countries will prefer to trade with Europe and China, Japan has already announced a meeting of its economic team, it will take almost two months to take over, but The consequences have already begun.
Saying that it will bring back the jobs of the consumer goods industries is silly, the world has already changed, what exists today is a spread of manpower and services, many concentrated in China at low cost, around all Planet and closer to emerging countries.
Latinos and immigrants go to the United States to work in low-skilled services that Americans generally reject, and mechanization of the countryside will not bring much labor into the countryside, the conservative South is traditionally occupied by families who migrated a few years ago and Most are regularized as American citizens.
For our part, we will continue to fight for a world of solidarity, religious tolerance and greater brotherhood, economic equality continues a horizon far, but the number of people and people who demand greater equality is a growing voice on the planet.

Trends for 2017

While Gartner points out that desktops will start to disappear from the
marketplace if the companies of these monsters do not begin to reinvent themselves, ThoughtWorks has released a list of emerging technologies with highlights for the growth of concepts such as Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR / AR), processes Based platforms, and clouds service platforms (PaaS), producing a “microservice” architecture.
These micro-services are processes that run in virtual cloud environments as the primary environment for the development of digital “activism” that influences markets, according to ThoughtWorks’ Mike Mason: “we see an advance in the levels of abstraction” of what is considered “activism “, That is, not only political and social, but also economic and business.
Although the “Pokemon” phenomenon is restricted to entertainment, this concept should migrate to other application areas and should influence IT teams now mobilized for the development of Platform as a Service (PaaS).
Docker is already an example of success in this line, made to put solutions in clouds, that the market has called by the name of this metaphor “containers” (a possible translation for Docker).
Docker is an open source project that automates the deployment of applications within software containers, providing an additional layer of abstraction and virtualization automation at the operating system level.
Another solution in this line is the development of Natural Language, the expected years for learning solutions, this type of auxiliary solution the so-called Machine Learning, that is, services that lead to a rapid learning of processes using computers, in relationship a human/interactive machine.
Machine Learning is a method of data analysis that automates the development of analytical models using any algorithms that “learn” intelectively from data, this permit the learning by “machine”.

Trump not triumph

The world watches shocked insults, intolerance and disrespect for 
humanitarian minimum standards: acceptance of diversity, ethnic-racial respect, overvaluation of financial power, sexism, etc. and incredibly Donald Trump has chances of becoming the president on major world power in the West, who will stop him?
Hillary Clinton used personal emails to deal with strategic American affairs, although the FBI has softened the issue, stating that there is nothing “illegal” in these e-mails, the fact reveals two embarrassing questions: there is no privacy in emails and personal issues that can affect countries, economies and wars can be made by an individual person.
The evolution of the election data that begins on Monday and ends tomorrow, but the determination there is slow, it may be accompanied by Haffington Post data entry, data that can be customized, showing an advantage of around 4% for Hillary Clinton.
Among the custom data, you can for example choose the subpopulations the independent data where there is a worrying growth Donald Trump in recent days, but the FBI statement that there is nothing illegal in the emails, did Hillary grow back.
Until tomorrow voters vote in the US elections have started and many have already voted, approximately 25% and ends tomorrow, people with awareness of the national and international conjuncture expect Trump not triumph.
Exegesis and Hermeneutics: dichotomies
04
Nov
Any text out of context is critical, but what exactly is the context, which
means the terms in the language of the time it was written and mostly what the exact interpretation that can give him is hermeneutics, since exegesis depends only on the interpretation.
The first great fallacy is that one is of biblical origin, in this case exegesis and other Greek origin fallacy because both are of Greek origin, Exegesis (the ἐξήγησις Greek ἐξηγεῖσθαι “take out”) is an interpretation or critical explanation , although it has the particularity to the religious text, while hermeneutics comes from the Greek “ermēneutikē” which means “science” and “art”, but refers to the god Hermes, who gave rise to language and writing.
If we consider classical antiquity, since hermeneutics is more complete because it means studying the language, literature, culture or civilization in a Historical view in written documents, while not explicitly speak of memory, speech culture and literature.
Already pointed out here that was Friedrich Schleiermacher (1768-1834), in the early nineteenth century, hermeneutics receives one of the goals was to unify the Biblical hermeneutics and law, so called universal hermeneutics, had profound influence on the thought of Dilthey and Heidegger.
Heidegger says that understanding has a “circular structure” from which comes the hermeneutic circle: “Any interpretation to produce understanding, must have understood what is going to interpret” (Heidegger, Martin Being and Time, New York: Harper & Row, 1972).
Wilhelm Dilthey, says the explanation (itself the natural sciences) and understanding (own science of the spirit or human sciences) would be in opposition that is, “clarified through intellectual processes, but we understand the cooperation of all the sentimental forces in the apprehension by dipping the sentimental forces in the object.” (PALMER, Richard Hermeneutics:. Interpretation Theory in Schleiermacher, Dilthey, Heidgger, and Gadamer Evanston. NUP, 1969).
Paul Ricoeur wants to overcome this dichotomy, for him to understand a text is to chain a new discourse in the text of the speech, because on the one hand there is no reflection without meditation on the signs; on the other, there is no explanation without understanding the world and yourself. (Ricoeur, Paul. Theory of Interpretation, Fort Worth: Texas Christian University, 1976).
1 year Mariana (Brazil) tragedy

A village of 600 people, which was part of the call route “Royal Route” in the seventeenth century, which had monuments and churches of cultural value, on 5 December last year was swept by 62 million cubic meters of mud, so off the map Bento Rodrigues, ten deaths and an ecological tragedy.
The wave in eleven minutes devastated Mariana seven districts, also contaminated the North Gualaxo rivers do Carmo and the Doce River, still no signs of any recovery, and whose waste has reached the Holy Spirit and the sea.
Samarco mining was little known to the local population, but was considered successful model, and associated with a joint venture of Vale do Rio Doce and Anglo-Australian BHP Billiton, was 37 years old at the site.
In 2014 the company had revenues of 7.5 billion reais, with a net profit of 2.8 billion reais, but the company’s stock and worth plummeted and soon to Andrew Mackenzie, BHP Executive land in Brazil, and the chief executive of Vale Murilo Ferreira, and his colleague Ricardo Vescovi de Aragão of enterprise Samarco, tried to erase the negative image, but without success.
There are still doubts as ecological restoration, the role that regulatory agencies of the Minas Gerais State and the Brazil Government (Dilma in this time) exercised because today appear documents with evidence of the possibility of tragedy, a document spoke including that the death toll could reach 19, eighteen, it’s amazing the accuracy of the forecast.
One year later there are still shadows on the real culprits, besides engineers Samarco and the government monitoramente also the recovery of fauna and flora, the compensation of the affected follows in slow steps.
The pessimist Bauman again
01
Nov
In an interview with El País, the pessimist Bauman strikes again, not I say but it is with all with all letters in the book “Bauman is considered pessimistic. His diagnoses of reality in his later books is extremely critic. “, Can be read in the journal.
Although with proper diagnosis, your remedy is deadly in the wealth of the few 
benefits all of us? said the high price paid today by the triumphant neoliberalism of the 80s and the ‘thirty opulent “that followed, led to a” big lie “(which is true), but do not see novelty in the new parties, dreams of what? the return of the Politburo?
Attacks the lack of networks, says she would be opposed to “community,” he said in the interview: “The question of identity has been transformed from something pre-established in a job: you have to create your own community. But it does not create a community, you have one or not; what social networks can generate it is a substitute. The difference between the community and the network is that you belong to the community, but the network belongs to you. “, He creating a fictitious duality.
It is clear that never participated in a virtual community, which is not unrealistic, we expect him despite his age one day make the experience, and will find that not only will be in a community and will be much more open, and transparency (that is registered ) is clearer, and also easier to be tested and observed.
Pessimism Bauman goes to the extreme to deny “progress” coming to call it myth, he says, for example: “austerity policies will continue, they could not stop them, but can be relatively effective in introducing new forms of do the things.”
The interview makes it clear that he knows that new forms of expression and proposals exist, but he himself confesses: “I am not able to prophesy. We are experimenting with new ways of doing things”, he said to the daily, but cannot and never will succeed, why not propose anything, just give your negative diagnose problems are there to solve and propose.
The resulting liquidism´s baumanian is inertia, criticizing the network and new forms of manifestations and the methodology of his pessimism, which proposes?
