Hillary Clinton promises support for block chain technology – BTC Echo

The US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has come on the block chain and promises a promotion of technology in the public sector.

Clinton gets probably already next week’s nomination for presidential nomination of the Democratic Party. Only on Monday, it published a large technology & amp; Innovation agenda in the speech of this is that the public and political work should incorporate the block chain in social life

Clinton:.



“We have the American innovations positioned so that they lead the next generation of technological revolutions – of autonomous vehicles on intelligent machines to block chain applications. We have to defend our position in the global digital marketplace. “

The Clinton side promised in addition to promoting the block chain technology also, if it is selected, a reduction in the regulatory barriers for startups and young companies.

“Hillary Clinton is state and local law, the older companies protected them from young startups and new innovations to date, re-examine and challenge,” so the campaign.

Clinton the call is not the first US politician that positive and forward advocating the block chain technology.

In April 2015 will have announced Republican Rand Paul to accept Bitcoin for his election campaign. . Shortly after, the former Texas Governor Rick Perry

Best Technology Pioneers do not come from Europe – FAZ – Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

If the organizers of the World Economic Forum (WEF) overlook the world and are looking for the most innovative young companies, they will find it mainly in the United States. On the list of appropriate “Technology Pioneers” there are few European start-ups – and not a single corresponding business comes from Germany

In this case, employ those who have managed for the vintage. to have been selected in 2016, with innovations that are also in the growing German start-up scene quite closely watched and edited: From 3D printing via the Internet of things to drones and more. These are used technologies in industries that also standing strong European focus, namely in the health care industry, agriculture, in the field of financial services and industry. It helped that from the perspective of experts who have compiled the list for the WEF, but nothing.

There are this year renowned tech startups , such as the Luxembourg-based Fin-tech providers block chain or Quid, a provider of visualization tools for market trends and Slack, the inventor of an app to enhance cooperation in teams. “The class of Technology Pioneers this year shows how companies can react to the interplay of different technologies,” Fulvia Montresor, head of the Technology Pioneers at the World Economic Forum, in the relevant press release is quoted: “It shows how quickly develop new technologies and begin how Innvoationen today to be solutions to global challenges. “

companies like Voxel8 from the United States, the seller of a 3D printer for electronics, Farmers edge, a Canadian provider of data for precision farming, and Cylance, a software company, which specializes in America on a proactive protection against cyber threats by artificial intelligence, also belong to this from the perspective of the WEF for the future exciting providers. Other names on this year’s list are called Magic Leap (virtual retinal displays for mixed reality applications); Kensho (real-time analysis for the financial industry by artificial intelligence) and Wright Speed ​​(hybrid electric drive systems for heavy trucks).

To become the Technology Pioneer is quite an honor, because the elect in the footsteps of companies like Google (in 2001 on the list represented), Wikimedia (2007), Kickstarter (2011), dropbox (2011) and transfer Wise (2015). Many of the winners will take part in the annual meeting of “New Champions” of the World Economic Forum in China this week, but also at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum next year in Davos.

The European perspective sobering is that twenty-one of 30 technology pioneers of this year come from the United States, thus resulting in a trend of recent years continues. Only six of the companies were founded in Europe. As reasons for this development, the WEF called the size of the US domestic market, the improved access to funding and an environment that favors the total reasons. are selected, the pioneers of hundreds applications from 68 scientists, venture capitalists and executives.

For this important project both FIFA Soccer departments technology innovation and refereeing will work closely and develop technical guidelines for their match officials. In training center with their full participation ( “live”) are selected VAR and referee for testing “in the background” and trained, in particular those who are standing on Results in applications in which the tests are carried out, eg. As the FIFA Club world Cup Japan 2016. the IFAB and FIFA want to use the center to improve the selection process from a technological perspective and to learn more about the differences between the systems currently available on the market. In the meantime, the member associations and leagues, who are interested in carrying out tests, have the opportunity to see the technology in use.

Already last month held a kick-off workshop for interested competition organizers in Amsterdam (Netherlands).

 In further workshops in the coming months the technology provider and leagues and associations will be informed in more detail about the tests and the exact process. Following the tests, the IFAB will decide whether VAR to be used from 2018 or 2019 in football.

Farewell to the diesel technology – Frankfurter Neue Presse

Wolfsburg.

Greenpeace and VW – which was long like fire and water. Activists of the environmental organization interfered 2012 Annual General Meeting of the car company so that security guards intervened. Today, four years and a diesel crisis later, observers rub puzzled eyes: VW CEO Matthias Müller says things that might come from his critics in Greenpeace

It is about the great questions of German. flagship industry: What is the future combustion engines? What future for cars at all? And above all: What does this mean for the jobs in this country

The most recent example: Müller talks about how he wants to “old to new” lead over the group of – “from the engine to the electric motor”. The process is likely to take several years, he added.

One day before the general meeting in Hannover the CEO position thus continue as an innovator of Volkswagen. Müller has already announced a fundamental restructuring of the Group. More electric cars, autonomous driving, more mobility services

Previously, Müller Porsche boss and therefore advocates of PS-Boliden. 212 grams of CO2 per kilometer spits out the Porsche’s flagship 911 Turbo S – less than half of it has to be according to EU target 2020 fleet average. And at the then current target of 95 grams of CO2 it would not end. “This is already foreseeable that the emission control in diesel is enormously expensive and complex,” says Müller. “Electromobility

At the same time cheaper. Against this backdrop, the question will be whether we will still accept at some point a lot of money for the development of the diesel in the hand.” VW, as well as the German car industry total is located in the epochal change. What does this mean for jobs? On especially popular in Germany Diesel hang tens of thousands of jobs. Industry skilled Stefan Bratzel calculates that in view of the components and complexity of diesel compared to e-mobility only about a fifth of jobs was necessary. When an engine plant as the VW in Salzgitter soon significantly less engine builds, making it then in 2025? Speaking at VW’s own battery factory, perhaps in Salzgitter. “The highlight of the diesel technology is already over,” said Bratzel. “In the future needs of the diesel in reality comply with the values” warns Bratzel. For the industry years loses for the transition. “Müller has recognized that. He increased the pace. “



Divestment

Bratzels colleague Ferdinand Dudenhöffer recommends industry even an instant diesel divestment. “Each additional euro would be wasted,” said Dudenhoeffer. The German producers had held too long on diesel.

But the native continent make only 15 percent of the world market. In the two largest markets – China and USA – diesel are virtually absent. From policy Dudenhöffer expected a quick end to the “senseless and misguided” subsidy for the fuel: “Each day, motorists at the pump completely the wrong price signals.”



Unsaleable Diesel

question is how the transition in the industry arrives at the customer. Who buys today a diesel if tomorrow could romp the debate on the tax benefits? Gerd Lottsiepen Traffic Club VCD says: “Below the Passat class diesel will be very soon no longer for sale.” The reason may be the high cost of actually effective emission control systems, which simply did not expect small cars

Volkswagen: CEO Müller provides diesel technology in question – Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger

Dusseldorf –

One day before the General Meeting puts Volkswagen boss Matthias Müller on the diesel technology. “It is to ask the question of whether we should take a lot of money for the development of the diesel in the hand from a certain point,” Mueller told the “Handelsblatt” on Tuesday. The group must “tackle very principle” of this topic. Müller pointed to the stricter emission standards from 2020.

“We suspect what five or ten years later followed”, he told the “Handelsblatt”. It is already clear that the emission control in diesel “enormously expensive and complex is”. Although the diesel was unchanged very popular with customers in Germany and in Europe. Whether the federal government wanted to change the tax advantages for this type of drive something “is not known”.

VW must “see in dialogue with politics, how it all goes.” VW had given last September following an investigation by US authorities to have used in around eleven million diesel vehicles an illegal software. This pressed on emissions from emission tests, so this seemed lower. (Afp)

Bitcoin technology: As block chain to replace banks – Tagesspiegel

Vitalik Buterin growing on the Internet. When he is born in 1994, the world is already five years the World Wide Web. Buterin starts early, to program itself. Later he writes for a blog and will be paid for with Bitcoins. Because his digital currency, however, has too many weaknesses, he developed his own. He calls Ethereum. And he realizes that you can do much more with the technology behind digital currencies. With only 22 years Buterin is the pioneer of a new movement. One movement, the experts led to superlatives. Goldman Sachs speaks of the “megatrend”, the Bank of England of a “real innovation”. Twitter investor Marc Andreessen thinks Go: This is the greatest invention since there is the Internet

Block Chain is the technology behind the digital currency Bitcoin

There is talk of the block chain.. This is the technology that is behind Bitcoins. And the now is to be used beyond the digital currency. So far took everyone who wanted money transfer, a bank. She handles the payment and checks whether all necessary data agree. The block chain technology makes but exactly the same thing – only fully automated, faster and cheaper. It thus replaces the Bank. And as in the transfer also works in other stores. In addition to the Bank, the block chain can also replace the current supplier, the music group or the real estate agent. For how to make money back and forth about this technology can, you can buy per block chain also stream music or property for sale – and without a Group is interposed

Imagine you can block chain such. a kind of super file. It covers all transactions by all parties, which are processed through their system. The special feature: Instead of a central server will simultaneously stored on the computers of all the participants and updated there regularly. As a result, instead of a mainframe transaction is checked by each computer that is connected to the network. Knowledge and responsibility are therefore delegated to machinery and divided. Manipulation is hardly possible in this way. Because criminals would be to not only in one but in all the connected computer hacking.



The block chain is an intelligent cashbook

As the block chain actually works, is the example of the remittance clearly : will transfer person A to person B money, that information is encrypted to all computers on the network transmitted. The computer automatically balance the data with the information that is already stored in the block chain. Check for example, whether the account that will transfer money from person A is effectively connected A. Enter all computers you Okay, is the transaction carried out and added as information of Super File. This Super file is nothing more than a yard long chain (Chain), always new information (blocks) are added to the. The result is a huge, intelligent cash book.



The block chain technology


1 of 6 18.06.2016 10:15


the fact that some describe the discovery of the block chain as a revolution, is that it takes over tasks, which were believed to date to need their own institutions for them , However, with the block chain is needed just any banks to transfer money. It also does not need any more stock market to buy shares. None notary to execute a will – instead, will the heirs automatically transferred the money. Even tech companies that have emerged only in recent years, has become superfluous. It would take no Uber to find a taxi driver. No company like Airbnb to match tenants and landlords of apartments.



banks also conduct research themselves at the Technology

The idea that you no longer accomplices need for all of these operations, but solely a clever Super file is initially disturbing. The German Bank speaks of a paradigm shift. After you take the block chain seriously, you have to rethink the economy. So the accountants Deloitte also believe that it is less a question of technology, if penetrated the block chain. Instead, it depends to 80 percent on whether people are willing to think differently. Whether they can give a decentralized technology as much confidence as a central institution -. About a bank

The banks take the block chain nonetheless serious. After all, they would be the first whose services could make the technology obsolete, at least in parts. At Deutsche Bank, says: “. The block chain technology is one of the first truly disruptive ideas from Fintech region” Not to be left behind, the Geldhäuser research therefore even on the technology. They hope that if they provide the banks the block chain themselves, they could save. 42 major banks have recently formed a consortium that explores the block chain in New York and London. The company bears the nondescript name R3. But the list of institutions in the forefront, reads like a Who’s Who of the financial world: In addition to German Bank and Commerzbank make about Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Barclays and UBS. Also, the IT giant Microsoft is.

Parallel work almost all financial institutions to own block chain projects. JP Morgan is to test my block chain, for example, currently with more than 2,000 customers, the way-forth money between London and Tokyo. Citigroup has its own digital currency called Citicoin designed to simplify payments. The credit card company Visa is working to facilitate migrants’ remittances to their home -. Which could make a costly transfer services such as Western Union superfluous

The utilities deal with the block chain

And that’s just the beginning, because the block chain is not just for the financial industry. Apart from banks, there are the big energy companies, which they fear. Because the technology can also trade in electricity – without having to need a energy company. That this works, just two Americans have proven: One has sold one per block chain power, he has generated with a solar panel on its roof. In Berlin, a team from ITB began operation in February already on a similar project.

The major utilities deal with the block chain. Vattenfall invites on Monday for experts to Berlin to discuss examples. Manager Claus Wattendrup says: “If this new technology is a reality, it has the potential to revolutionize the energy industry.” Competitor RWE intends to use the block chain, for example, in electric cars. Because it indicates the charging stations other than a gas station no checkout, paying the current is still a problem. Most drivers of electric cars have separately enter into a contract with one of the local public utilities. Thanks to the block chain technology could go a lot easier. About a chip in the car could the money after refueling just automatically be charged to your account

Buterin dreams of software that uses all World

located Sets the block chain in width by, one of them is particularly benefit: Vitalik Buterin. The 22-year-old has set up a foundation. The other is the technology ready, so they can develop new applications to block chain base. to operate the on the model of Apple. The Group has an operating system for smartphones developed with iOS – and then invited other programmers, for inventing Apps. As once Apple founder Steve Jobs dreams Buterin of the global software, which uses the world. He still has a long way to go.

Project Bletchley: Microsoft’s foray in Block Chain Race – entwickler.de (blog)

Block chain, the seemingly unanimous opinion will revolutionize what there is to roll up on the Internet. Especially in the financial industry, technology has triggered a veritable fever. The Project Bletchley baptized block chain-as-a-Service would Microsoft provide the right medicine not only for the financial industry, but for any kind of enterprise.

Popular News & amp; Article

As early as last November, Microsoft is the first time appeared in public with a block chain technology that the crypto currency and Smart Contract platform Ethereum as block chain-as-a-Service (BaaS) on the cloud platform Azure provides. Was it at Ethereum-BaaS (ebaas) nor much about laying the foundation for Microsoft’s block chain ambitions, the Group now presents project Bletchley first concrete ideas and elements.

The precursor to the establishment of Project Bletchley one became known in April partnership of Microsoft with the existing from 43 financial institutions R3 Consortium. It is an industry association that has the block chain research and development devoted to.



Project Bletchley

Served ebaas moreover, companies a cost-effective platform for the first experiments with block Chain to provide, Microsoft pulls Project Bletchley first conclusions from the experience gained with ebaas. Central desires which have been reflected back to the project team by the companies, resulting Marley Gray, head of BizDev & amp; Strategy, Cloud and Enterprise at Microsoft Azure, in the announcement post on. High on are:

  • platform openness
  • Integration of identity and key management, privacy and security, operational management and interoperability
  • Performance, scalability, support and stability
  • Consortium block Chains, ie closed, subject to authorization networks

About the role of Azure to Gray expressed as follows: “ In Project Bletchley, Azure Provides the fabric for block chain, serving as the cloud platform where distributed applications are built and delivered. “Microsoft wants to continue to provide a variety of block chain protocols, including both simpler UTXO protocols (unspent Transaction output-based Protocol) as well as more powerful SmartContract- protocols that can regulate various contractual arrangements.

block Chain middleware and Cryplets

Real news however, represent only the block chain middleware and called Cryptlets. As you can see the GitHub whitepaper serves the middleware mainly to essential service functions such as identity verification, encryption, data services (including Analytics and Machine Learning) and management capabilities allow. Central block chain services can be associated with such business-related services, as the group.

As a kind of hinge between Azure, middleware and customer technologies serve the Cryplets. Microsoft describes it as a valuable link to establish interoperability between these platforms, but also between multiple Clouds. The Cryplets are used to add code and data outside the block chain or a smart Contracts in the process without compromising the authenticity of the transactions.



The block chain in the enterprise context

understands subblock Chain to a distributed database, in the transactions between different users, so changes are within the database, and documented for all parties concerned are always traceable. Saved it be in the form of a series of chain-block, hence the name. So, in addition to ownership and originating the transaction histories of objects represented in the form of so-called tokens, are held. The legitimacy of this object can thus be detected.

The database often Ledger (dt. Register) called, is located on different nodes, all of which feature a copy of the register. The Nodes compare constantly with each other, so it is impossible to carry out illegal transactions. Reaching the nodes to each other any unit, a transaction will not be accepted. This principle of collective accounting was first applied by cryptocurrency Bitcoin.

The attractiveness of this principle for companies on the one hand is to be protected at business processes from manipulation and fraud. Moreover, deleted a lot of bureaucracy: audit and notarial tasks carried out from now on automatically. Thus transactions are also much faster. What else can take days in the banking sector today, perhaps in future unwound in a few seconds.



Open Source

Microsoft announces its BaaS services open and flexible for any platform to keep. It is interesting in this context that apparently open source technologies will play a major role. The white paper states:

Open source technologies wants serve as the building blocks for this ecosystem. Supporting open standards for protocol level Implementations of Peer-2-Peer / networking, consensus, database and virtual machines are key in Establishing trust within the larger ecosystem and ACCELERATES innovation.

Exciting sound ideas the IT giant from Redmond definitely. Whether he can catapult himself moved to the top in the race for the enterprise use of block chain, is another question. Finally, the industry is still in its infancy; which technology will prove in the end to be suitable, is still in the stars. Anyway starts Microsoft to line up for the slow onset competition

VW CEO Müller provides diesel technology in question – FinanzNachrichten.de

In VW, there are obviously considerations, to say goodbye to the diesel technology. An environmentally friendly production seems to be too complicated. It would be a serious break for Volkswagen.

VW CEO Matthias Müller has indicated a move away from diesel power against the backdrop of exhaust affair of his company. He told the Handelsblatt, through more stringent emission limits in the US from 2020 will probably be hugely expensive diesel technology. That is why the question of whether to invest heavily in diesel technology made sense or in the future agency.

Truffls: Mobile Recruiting with matching technology – Computer Week

find

truffle is not an easy task. Something similar happens in the company Talent Search. Therefore, the Berlin-based startup Truffls has made recruiting mobile. About the Job App Truffls find companies and candidates to each other precisely: While companies bring their mobile Job on Smartphone, deposit applicants their personal profiles on the platform. Per swipe gesture candidates select favored jobs and automatically start the first job request.

Personal seekers company is a cloud-based dashboard available that allows the recruiters, simple and to get in direct contact with exciting candidates. Foundation for the development of the app are IBM’s cloud platform Bluemix and the cognitive system Watson. With the project “Truffls makes talent mobile” is the Truffls GmbH in contention for the Digital Leader Award 2016 in the category Invent Markets .

project fact sheet

  • finalist: Truffls

  • Category Invent Markets

  • project Title: Truffls makes talent mobile

  • “1″

    period of the project: 2013 ongoing until today

  • project phase: growth phase

  • size of the project team: 15 people

the digitization Story

the recruiting industry is one of the industries that only timidly recognize the potential of digitization and the resulting opportunities. If one looks at application processes, paper applications and Excel lists are still to be found – while self-propelled cars or Drone-Delivery are parallel tested. With Truffls now is after in the 90s Job were successively transferred from print media in online channels, the jump succeed in the mobile era. The app of Berlin Startups makes to use the swipe principle. Besides dating apps is now geswiped in news apps and travel apps. With a swipe to the left shows the user that he has no interest in the job.

With a finger swipe to the right of the User stressed his interest in the respective company. By shaking the smartphone can take back within 5 seconds of the last swipe with the so-called shake-to-undo function. In a match the user will be notified directly via the smartphone and can immediately enter into contact with the respective companies. Here, the startup addressed with the appearance of his app and the catchy user interface a tech-savvy user base and attempts at transformation of a very conservative process.



Implementation

Technologically based Truffls on a proprietary parsing and Natural Language Processing technology, which was developed together with Prof. Biemann and TU Darmstadt. Moreover Truffls uses a machine learning Recommendation Engine that allows to propose successively better job offers for candidates. To continue growing, Truffls wants to develop his job application with Platform-as-a-service solution Bluemix continuously. This provides access to more than 140 cloud services for App-programming, making it the largest Cloud Foundry platform worldwide. The numerous IBM analysis tools are complemented by cloud services from third parties.

In particular, with services for IBM Watson Truffls will increasingly integrate cognitive systems. With Cognitive Computing Data can intelligently evaluate and acquire new relationships and insights from existing knowledge. Since the IBM computer system Watson understands human language, Truffls wants to use the technology for the approach of Natural Language Processing (NLP). With NLP interaction described between speech and human, are linked with the insights from linguistics using the latest methods of computer science. The theoretical approach is based in part on the work of Alan Turing and Noam Chomsky from the 1960s.

Continuously be used in the development of methods such as Scrum or tools like Jira or Slack, to control the agile development. Truffls allows to globally identify jobs on the web and those targeted to present the right candidates. while more than 200,000 jobs are daily processed and presents the appropriate candidates fully automatically by means of a self-learning recommendation engine.

The business benefits

The email app Truffls was downloaded over 100,000 times. Within 9 months, more than 52,000 direct contacts between candidates and recruiters were prepared. In addition, one has already achieved more than 15 million job interactions in less than 12 months. On the customer side renowned customers like the Adam Opel AG or 1und1 already could be won. Truffls has already reached two and a half years after the founding of the break-even point and enlarge his team.

Whether it is enough for the Truffls GmbH and their project “Truffls makes talent mobile” for winning the Digital Leader Award 2016 in the category Invent Markets ? The big awards gala on June 29, 2016 Berlin will tell.
