Good vibes, it looks like we have a new work space<\/h4>\n

Spaces seem bigger in real state pictures\u2026<\/p>\n

Automation<\/strong><\/h4>\n

There will be new jobs, yes, but there will be a lot of old jobs too.<\/p>\n

Bringing AI to the often messy process of making things<\/a>. \u2026is able to automate much of the process, leading to an \u00abautonomous factory that can change parameters and create alerts, doing things that humans just wouldn’t be able to do\u2026\u00bb<\/p>\n

\u00abI don’t want the next big tech idea to be a social network. I want it to be a factory.\u00bb

Bitcoin, threatened<\/h4>\n

Although Ray Dalio does believe that the cryptocurrency could be outlawed<\/a>, he was clear on the fact that Bitcoin has proven itself as an asset class over the past ten years.<\/p>\n

Governments must expand opportunities, instead of trimming them.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

A new capitalism?<\/h4>\n

Everybody is talking about remodeling capitalism… it could be whether the changes are global, all nations at the same time harmonizing fiscal policies, eliminating tax havens, international control and possibly tax liquidation in relation to the place where it is originated.<\/p>\n

And above all: better public management.<\/p>\n

At the same time some large corporations claim the return to the work centres, reducing work from home. On the other hand, it seems that real estate market is rising prices getting responsible for companies’ work spaces being more expensive and blocking workers the possibility of renting\/buying their residence closer to the office.<\/p>\n

I do not know if all this \u00abrefounding capitalism\u00bb has some sense or is just good intentions.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin and green economy<\/h4>\n

Voices are raising to defend the change to renewable energy in tech companies and its data centres.<\/p>\n

Although this have been lead by Apple, Google, Microsoft\u2019s Azure and Amazon, what does happen with smaller, independent data centres in less regulated countries?<\/p>\n

Change requires a global approach and screenplay.<\/p>\n

Further\u2026\u00a0I read in Exponential View<\/a>\u2019s newsletter<\/p>\n

He takes this idea a step further by\u00a0challenging our concepts of batteries.\u00a0If you can translate electricity into something that can be used anywhere at any time, then you have a battery.\u00a0Crypto mining converts electricity into value in the form of coins, which can be moved, exchanged, what have you. If we think of Bitcoin as a battery, the possible applications are varied and exciting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Apple & Google battles<\/h4>\n

Some are won together. And I don\u2019t feel bad about the Arizona app store antitrust bill death<\/a>.
\nEverybody is doing its own store and having a cut from developers work. The reach developers get by means of the stores is far more than which they would get on their own. You can choose what ecosystems do you want to jump in.
\nThe risk of someone bigger or with more resources \u201credoing\u201d your offer has been always part of \u201cthe \u201d. It is not just because of \u201cplatform stores\u201d.<\/p>\n

On the other side a debate was on fire in the comments section regarding 9 to 5 Mac<\/a>takes on a recently published research.<\/p>\n

While iOS automatically collects data from Siri, Safari, and iCloud to send to Apple, Android gets data from Chrome, YouTube, Google Docs, Safetyhub, Google Messenger, Clock, and search, even when the user is not logged into a Google account.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

When idle, Android sends roughly 1MB of data to Google every 12 hours, compared with iOS sending Apple about 52KB over the same period. In the US alone, Android collectively gathers about 1.3TB of data every 12 hours. During the same period, iOS collects about 5.8GB.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So you can get the research report here<\/a> to dive in.<\/p>\n

But we are proud as we try to enjoy it and stop when we have the chance.<\/p>\n

Class war is real<\/h4>\n

Someone needs to tell you all it\u2019s in a boat. So sends a picture of a MacBook computer and the windows on the deck.<\/p>\n
