Innovation (technologicallly driven) – Page 58

Ah. AI, here it is.

I wondered before on what the … Google would be up to in terms of Artificial Intelligence. Here‘s some news on that.
Some. As I believe this is only a side show to throw us off.
Surely, there must be much, much, much more in the pipeline…

Anyhow, here’s:

[The view that’s offered. Fakely transparent. London UK, indeed.]

Not news, still suppressed?

Why is it that this paper on chip-and-pin fraud hasn’t gained much more attention in the Netherlands ..!?

Maybe because NL has only just sort-of completely switched off the magstripe to EMV.
Which even before its comprehensive roll-out here in NL, was known to be weak. Years before. And still no-one took action.

A picture for your efforts. But (payment) industry, you fail with a big F again…

[London temp, also years back]

Cybersecurity, yeah!

This is how you do it:

[As spotted in Voorburg. No, not ‘shopped a single bit.]

Yes, indeed, this is how your ‘cybersecurity’ (#ditchcyber ! #wegmetcyber !) compares to the real deal. But hey, if you want to believe you’re up there with the Big Boys, go ahead. I won’t stop you from your own make-believe. At kindergarten.

Seth and you

Seth Godin posted this little piece on the outliers among us. Or even – outsiders.

The real question now is: What is it that you are the innovator in ..? If you can’t think of anything, think harder. If still, you may be the deadwood, the replaceable, superfluous non-individual. Consuming resource, hence on balance non-efficient existence to be erased.
But I bet you can find something …!?

And a piece of beauty:

[Hilversum. Ergo, Dudok.]

Contiki: (not) new kid on the IoT block

Just check out this article on Contiki, and be amazed. Let’s get this some soft support..!

For the time being:

[This what you get from monopolizing a grid. Then being robbed off it.]

Ah. Inventions, innovation squared.

May I present the most useful, destined for success innovation …:
As per review and discussion on this page.

Surely, this will outlive the Internet as such. Of Things, as well, far, far beyond the Singularity. Maybe.

In the mean time, there’s that. And this:

[Caen you grill this]

On the verge of many breakthroughs

Just to note; my feels are that this piece on scientific analysis on the verge of chaos is an emergent technology for many current applied fields. E.g., analysis of where the Internet of Things will bring us; Singularity or not, or what. And brain analysis obviously in the first place. But also sociologically, I see many applications just beyond the horizons.

And, of course:

Wired / Tired / Expired, June 2014 edition

[A mixed bag but me know nothing, I’m from ~~Barcelona~~ Madrid]

So, here’s the June edition of my Wired / Tired / Expired jargon watch overviews, a mixed bag:

WIRED	TIRED	EXPIRED
#ditchcyber	APTs	Cyber! Cyber! Cyberthis, cyberthat, cybereverywhere
Most certainly, this is still W. Maybe shouldn’t have been. But is.	They were meant to be here to stay. So they do.	There’s even an interesting popular song about this!

Mind-controlled bionics / Sensors (tie)	IoT / Wearables	Weaponised drones / Drones for deliveries
Once these get sorted out, we’re all doomed. Because we’ll not prep our society in advance of quick enough. Fact, from history. After this, Fukuyama will be right after all.	All talk, no full-scope delivery.	Laggerd panic, these ones.

White asparagus	Green asparagus	Noma
The ultimate, from the Aragon to Holland reach. Underestimated, neglected, by those who don’t know the product well enough.	Not ‘the’ asparagus. Just the typical second choice.	Eat your own ants. Exposure of decadence.

Drought in CA	CO weed	LGBT =
After the tiny snow pack, drought throughout CA and neighbouring states. See the panic.	Dude, relax! Done deal, mellow!	Equality spreading, overdue, now an unstoppable avalanche. Hence E.


In its lens- and other forms. Yes there’s innovation in there …!	As Coin, still under W, though	Overused

OK, any suggestions for next month’s edition ..?

Who has your back; who’s up your back side?

Depends on how you foresee the world’s wheels of fortune turn…:

But beware … Things may change rapidly.

The enemy from below

I know, I’ve been guilty of it too. Thinking, tinkering, and musing about all sorts of abstract risk management schemes, how they’re a giant mess, mostly, and how they could be improved. Here and there, even considering a middle-out improvement direction. But mostly, ignoring the very fact that in the end, information risk management hinges on the vastly complex technological infrastructure. Where the buck stops; threat-, vulnerability- and protection-wise.

A major (yes, I wrote major) part of that low-level (Is it? To whom? It’s very-highly intellectual, too!) technological complexity is in the trust infrastructure in there. Which hinges on two concepts: Crypto and certificates. In fact, they’re one but you already reacted towards that.

For crypto, I’ll not write out too much here about the wrongs in the implementation. There’s others doing that maybe (sic) even better than I can.
For certificates, that hold the crypto keys, the matter is different. Currently, I know of only one club that’s actually on top of things, as they may be for you as well. Yes, even today, you may even think the problem is minor. Since you don’t know…

Really. Get your act together … This is just one example of how deep, deep down in ‘the’ infrastructure, whether yours or ‘out there’, there’s much work to be done, vastly too much complexity to get a real intelligent grip on. How will we manage ..?
