On August 19, 2014 something exceptional happened. Queen Elizabeth II of England finally granted a posthumous pardon to Alan Turing (1912-1954), convicted in 1952 for homosexual acts. Thus ended a long process of the British state to apologize to one of its …

Good bye passwords

Passwords are annoying to remember and can be insecure, so Google is turning to a new form of authentication to protect our personal information.

Three things we wish were true
- The customer knows what they want
- Developers know how to build it
- Nothing will change along the way

Three things we have to live with
- The customer discovers what they want as we go
- The developers discover how to build it as we go
- Many things change along the way

An empirical approach generally yields better results than a prescriptive one.

Big Data Goes Art

From April 22 through to July 29, SAP will host the exhibition of works by contemporary artists who are interested in the visual representation of Big Data and who embrace digital technologies in the structural make-up of their creative explorations.

Two contrasting concepts, one mutual space. SAP explores how art and Big Data can complement one another in an exciting exhibition.

The disruptive innovation theory’s core concepts have been widely misunderstood and its basic tenets frequently misapplied.

What are those basic tenets? Putting it as simply as I can, there are three necessary conditions:

1. There’s a small, scrappy start-up that is taking on the big guys with a new business model.

2. There’s a new class of low-end customers who are either over-served by established companies (that are always trying to please their best customers) or not being served at all.

3. There’s a technological accelerant that gives the little guy an edge he can use to move up-market. By the time the big guys realize they’re in danger, it’s already too late.

Either way, the Googles and the Facebooks of the world are rapidly pushing AI towards new horizons. And at least in small ways, OpenAI can help keep them—and everyone else—in check. “I think that Elon and that group can see AI is unstoppable,” Nicholson says, “so all they can hope to do is affect its trajectory.”

There are more forces at work in the creation of OpenAI than just the possibility of super-human intelligence taking over the world.

Microsoft Wants To Teach You How To Use Linux With Its New Certification Program

Few years ago, Linux and Microsoft were fierce enemies as Redmond railed against the open source software. However, the tech giant has softened its approach and showed its love for Linux at many occasions in recent past. Along the similar lines, Microsoft has just offered a certification program that’ll teach you how to manage Linux systems in its Azure cloud.

Under the leadership of Satya Nadella, we can observe a very visible change in Microsoft’s course of action. Taking forward this unlikely partnership, Microsoft has offered a certification program that’ll teach you how to manage Linux systems in its Azure cloud.

Onstage at TED2014, Charlie Rose interviews Google CEO Larry Page about his far-off vision for the company. It includes aerial bikeways and internet balloons … and then it gets even more interesting, as Page talks through the company’s recent acquisition of Deep Mind, an AI that is learning some sur…

"The efficiencies and optimizations that come from constant, iterative feedback will soon become the norm for businesses and governments. "

"Companies that get themselves on a feedback footing will dominate their industries, building better things faster for less money. Those that don’t are already the walking dead, and will soon be little more than case studies and colorful anecdotes. Big data, new interfaces, and ubiquitous computing are tectonic shifts in the way we live and work."
