Web 3.0: The New Internet Is Coming, and It's Bringing These Challenges...

The trend in internet evolution has been to "decentralize" the internet. Web 1.0 featured company-controlled content, but web 2.0 features company-controlled platforms that host user-generated content. Why shouldn't web 3.0 provide a new platform for content development that is independent of corporate control?

Initially, sites relied on the accuracy of publishers' reputations. Web 2.0 degraded data quality, increasing the effectiveness of misinformation and deception on the internet. Will accuracy checks be included in the agreement to accept machine-managed data in web 3.0? Who makes the choice, what qualifications do they have, and what motivates them to be fact-based rather than pushing an agenda?

Data tampering is a major cybersecurity problem when it comes to data that will be used to train AI...

People can make up inaccurate data to get the outcomes they desire, making AI the largest deception system on the planet. When Microsoft opted to teach their chatbot "Tay" by allowing it to learn from Twitter, fraudulent messages were sent to the computer, training it to be racist. 

Consider what a nation-state could do to cause havoc by feeding AI false information or altering word meanings. How will cybersecurity experts identify, block, and erase data intended to deceive?

What happens if our systems rely on data and that data isn't available in Web 3.0? 

Today's internet is littered with broken links. Machines will either have to make local copies of everything on the Internet or, as in web 2.0, get material on demand. This could lead to a greater reliance on the availability of systems over which IT staff have little control.

The trend in the evolution of the internet has been to "decentralize" the web. Web 1.0 consisted of company-controlled material, whereas web 2.0 is made up of company-controlled platforms that host user-created content.

Shouldn't web 3.0 give a new platform for content creation that isn't controlled by a corporation? 

Ready or not, we will soon see what form web 3/0 will take, and what flaws it will bring with it.

The Tough Smartwatch That Could Beat Up Your Apple Watch - Garmin Fenix 7 Review

 

The Garmin Fenix 7 is for anyone who enjoys competing and wants to push themselves to new limits, whether it's a cycling sportive, a half marathon, an Ironman, or the grueling sweat of a CrossFit competition. The Fenix 7 doesn't assume you've already figured out a whole training schedule and how to balance work and rest — instead, it provides tools to help you analyze your current fitness level, establish a realistic goal, and train in a way that will help you reach it.

It includes the same powerful workout tracking and training tools that helped the Fenix 6 become the best multi-sports watch in 2019, as well as some new features that make it more accessible to new users.

The addition of a touchscreen is the most evident enhancement here. The watch retains the five physical buttons found on prior Fenix watches (including a newly reinforced start button), but it's a tremendous assistance when it comes to panning through maps. However, it's been done with caution; the screen is locked by default during workouts to prevent accidental button presses, and Fenix purists may turn off touch completely if they choose.

FPT INDUSTRIAL AT CES 2022 in LAS VEGAS - Showcasing Future Mobility and Sustainability...

The world’s largest manufacturer of low-environmental impact industrial engines, FPT Industrial, joins the world’s most innovative trade fair, CES 2022 in Las Vegas, to showcase its revolutionary concepts for future mobility and sustainable industrial transport. 

The Brand’s new 2200 sq ft stand is organized into four Innovation Areas, each dedicated to the most advanced technological solutions for a sustainable energy transition in its business segments: on-road, off-road, marine, power generation engines, and powertrain systems.

The electric axle suitable for heavy-duty, 4x2 / 6x2 44-ton GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) semi trucks is the star of the On-road Innovation Area. Delivering high performance (840kW) and outstanding efficiency (>92%), the e-axle for HCVs (Heavy Commercial Vehicles – Class 8 Trucks) has been developed thanks to the joint-venture between Nikola, IVECO and FPT Industrial for the version of the NIKOLA TRE BEV, the first units of which will be delivered in the US in 2022. The On-Road Innovation Area will also have the e-driveline and energy storage offering on display, showing how FPT Industrial is contributing to developing the powertrain of the future. 

The Off-Road Innovation Area will be showcasing the F28 Natural Gas engine and its application on the first vineyard tractor to run on bio-methane. FPT Industrial and Fontanafredda, a historic winery in the Langhe Region (Piedmont, Italy) founded in 1858, teamed up to produce the “Vigna La Rosa cru” Barolo wine, which is included in the Wine Spectator’s Top 100, with this innovative CO2-neutral tractor.

The Marine Innovation Area features a totally new and extremely innovative Hybrid Electric Marine Propulsion System Concept for leisure and commercial vessels. Fruit of the collaboration between FPT Industrial and the Italian startup Sealence, the Concept incorporates the FPT Industrial N67 570 EVO biodiesel engine, which is coupled with a variable-speed permanent-magnet electric generator, used as a range extender to recharge the battery pack. The range extender and the battery work together to provide maximum energy to the electric DeepSpeed Hydrojet developed by Sealence. The result is one of the most efficient, effective, environment-friendly and quiet-running – when operating in full electric mode – marine propulsion systems.

Playing a primary role in the decarbonization process of agriculture through biomethane is the manifesto of the Power Generation Innovation Area, featuring the world’s first variable-speed, hybrid, multi-mode genset concept, developed entirely by FPT Industrial.

The new Smart Hybrid Hub is based on the first F28 variable-speed, low-pressure methane engine for Power Generation, fueled by biomethane obtained by the anaerobic digestion of agricultural waste and cattle slurry. The aim is to create a sustainable, net-zero-carbon circular economy, enabling farmers to become ‘Energy Independent’ from fossil fuels and able to generate additional revenue streams deriving from biomethane surplus sales.

FPT Industrial’s partner in this project is Bennamann Ltd., a fast-growing British agricultural technology company in the field of clean energy, specialized in the supply and production of net-zero biomethane from organic waste.

ABOUT FPT:

FPT Industrial is a brand of CNH Industrial, dedicated to the design, production and sale of powertrains for on-road and off-road vehicles, as well as marine and power generation applications. The company employs more than 8,000 people worldwide, in ten manufacturing plants and seven R&D Centers.

The Little-Known MULTI-BILLION Dollar WAR Between Cell Phone Providers Over The Airwaves Needed To Broadcast 5G...

 

Midband spectrum is vital for 5G installations because it provides regional coverage as well as the ability to transport enormous volumes of data. This combination is particularly enticing to telecom behemoths looking to expand their spectrum holdings.

According to some estimates, the desirable frequency might be valued as much as $60 billion. However, the ultimate total exceeded all expectations, raising more over $81 billion for the US Treasury.

The top telecom companies in the United States dominated the FCC's most recent 5G spectrum auction.

• Verizon spent the most money on the auction, spending $45 billion for 3,511 spectrum licenses under the name Cellco Partnership.
  
  
• With a bid of $23 billion for 1,621 licenses, AT&T came in second.
  
  
• T-Mobile came in third with a $9 billion offer for 142 licenses.

"This auction reflects a shift in our nation's approach to 5G toward midband spectrum that can support fast, reliable, and ubiquitous service that is competitive with our global peers." the White House said. In a statement, FCC Acting Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel stated.

5G refers to the next generation of wireless technology, which is projected to boost network speeds and improve network responsiveness. The technology might pave the way for applications such as self-driving cars, as well as new AR and VR experiences on smartphones.

Tesla Joins Apple, Amazon and Microsoft, as Company Valuation Break The $1 TRILLION Mark - The 100,000 Vehicle Order That Made It Happen...

Tesla hit a $1 trillion market cap today following news that Hertz car rental is ordering 100,000 cars to buildits electric vehicle rental fleet.

The company joins trillion-dollar market cap companies like Apple, Amazon and Microsoft.

The deal will bring in a reported $4.2 billion for Tesla  - this is the largest purchase of electric vehicles, ever...

News of the deal brought Tesla’s stock to $1,028 by midday, a new record high - a gain of about 13%.

Morgan Stanley’s Adam Jonas raised his price target on Tesla to $1,200 a share from $900 on Sunday. Jato Dynamics said Monday that Tesla’s Model 3 electric sedan became the first fully electric vehicle to top new car sales overall in Europe in September.

The deal with Hertz, which will bring in a reported $4.2 billion for Tesla, is the largest ever purchase of electric vehicles, Bloomberg previously reported.

The cars are set for delivery within the next 14 months and will be available to US customers as early as November.

The deal comes more than a year after Hertz filed for bankruptcy protection during the height of the coronavirus pandemic, as demand for travel and rental vehicles waned.

But now they have new backing, and an agressive comeback plan as Knighthead Capital Management and Certares Management takes over the company.

New Branding Won't Fix Facebook's Old Problems...

Facebook is planning to rebrand itself with a new name as the tech giant comes under fire from regulators around the world over its business practices.

But a new name won't fix their reputation.

CEO Mark Zuckerberg promised to bring Facebook back from the brink during an appearance before Congress. He made it clear that he understands the enormous responsibility the company has as it faces growing criticism from governments and those who question its role.

"The world feels anxious and divided, and Facebook has a lot of work to do — whether it's protecting our community from abuse and hate, defending against interference by nation states, or making sure that time spent on Facebook is time well spent," Zuckerberg told the joint session of the Senate judiciary and commerce committees.

The company said it would use artificial intelligence to proactively identify posts that include hate speech and other objectionable material, allowing Facebook to get rid of them before anyone sees them. The tech giant also hired an additional 3,000 people to monitor hate speech.

Zuckerberg's appearance on Capitol Hill is the latest public appearance for a high-profile tech executive facing bipartisan criticism for how their companies handle user privacy and content. In response to the criticism, Facebook, Google, and Twitter have pledged to hire more people and invest more in security and transparency.

Some of the pressure is coming from Washington. In January, Democrats in Congress released a long list of demands they want to see from the companies and their CEOs, and the demands included implementing new privacy measures, letting users opt out of targeted advertising, and providing more details about how their user data is shared and used.

The companies were already under fire from Congress for the 2016 election meddling during the 2016 election. Lawmakers said at the time they wanted to know more about Russian involvement in the run-up to the election and, specifically. _______

What To Expect At Apple's Next Event....

What should you expect from Apple's Oct 18th Event? Rumor is it's all about new MacBook Pro models, which will have been redesigned with thinner bezels for a larger display.

There has also been hints of 3024 x 1964 and 3456 x 2234 resolutions - which would enable 2x Retina for higher quality images and text. But the most hype may be for the chip that powers it all - the M1X chip, which is the newest and most powerful version of the M1.

Elton John Covers, and Miley Cyrus Sings - With Metallica...

Singer Elton John has confessed he is a big fan of Metallica. If you’re a fan of Elton John and you love the song "Nothing Else Matters" by the band Metallica, then this book is for you. This book is a collection of Elton John singing "Nothing Else Matters".

Elton John is a huge Metallica fan and considers "Nothing Else Matters" to be one of the best songs ever written. The lyrics moved him so much that he recorded a cover of the song and released it on his 2018 album "Revamp". The song has been called a “heart-rending tribute” and a “magnificently tender and emotive cover” by fans.

But it doesn't stop there - in what would be a controversy of seismic importance, the world’s most unlikely heavy metal band, Metallica, and the 21st century’s most outrageous banshee, Miley Cyrus, have teamed up...

Describing the unusual pairing as a “once-in-a-lifetime collaboration,” a representative for “The Howard Stern Show” announced on Tuesday that the two acts would perform a Metallica classic, “Nothing Else Matters"

Nothing Else Matters is a best-selling single of the band. It was written by a person whose previous job was writing book reports. Of course, it’s not really a book about the Metallica and Miley Cyrus alliance.

In a live performance on the Howard Stern Show, Metallica and Miley Cyrus perform Nothing Else Matters together. For the Metallica cover, Miley Cyrus's vocals are paired with the original James Hetfield vocals and she plays a guitar solo to introduce the song. For the Miley Cyrus cover, Metallica's instrumental stems and Hetfield's vocals are paired with Miley Cyrus's vocals and she plays a guitar solo to introduce the song.
