Creative Currency | New tools for a new economy TrustCloud: The Path to Establishing Trust Online? What will your most valuable asset be in the near future? Not a physical object or your bank account, as collaborative consumption champion Rachel Botsman would have it. It’s your reputation, online and off. In an age where people are doing an increasing amount of business with strangers through sites like Airbnb, being able to tell in advance that strangers will deliver as promised is becoming increasingly important. But how does reputation get established? In her recent TED talk, “Trusting In Strangers,” Botsman envisions a real-time stream of who has transacted with you online represented in a visual pattern to indicate to your trustworthiness to strangers. TrustCloud is just such a tool, and has a lot of company these days in an increasingly crowded field (Legit, Scaffold, Trust.cc, etc.) that measures trust in a variety of ways. As this recent Wall Street Journal article details, a TrustCloud score functions in the sharing economy like a FICO score works in the credit economy.
Idea of civilians using drone aircraft may soon fly with FAA Drone aircraft, best known for their role in hunting and destroying terrorist hide-outs in Afghanistan, may soon be coming to the skies near you. Police agencies want drones for air support to spot runaway criminals. Utility companies believe they can help monitor oil, gas and water pipelines. Farmers think drones could aid in spraying their crops with pesticides. "It's going to happen," said Dan Elwell, vice president of civil aviation at the Aerospace Industries Assn. That's the job of the Federal Aviation Administration, which plans to propose new rules for the use of small drones in January, a first step toward integrating robotic aircraft into the nation's skyways. The agency has issued 266 active testing permits for civilian drone applications but hasn't permitted drones in national airspace on a wide scale out of concern that the pilotless craft don't have an adequate "detect, sense and avoid" technology to prevent midair collisions.

地方暮らしが限界な話（メモ） あの元気だった私の祖母が糖尿で亡くなる間際が印象的だった、糖尿が進んで、末梢神経が壊死するのなんのといって、当時小学生だった私も「あのお婆ちゃんがそんなことあるもんか」と思った。次に祖母と会ったときは、祖母は棺桶に入っていた。 無職の父と、田舎の未来について。 これは重いなあ、と思う。 言いたいことは他にもある、そんならお前、地元捨てないで帰ってやれよとか。 ■1. ３つとも全部ない人は、東京でも暮らせないのではないだろうか。 そうなると、田舎に誰が暮らすのか、となる。 ■2. 都会でもなかなか仕事が見つからなさそうな人の仕事を斡旋するのは大変だろうとは思うが、そこにいるからこそ、成立する仕事であれば田舎にもできるのではないだろうか。 ■3. これは可能でござるよ。 ただし、そういう人たちは都会でしっかりとスキルを身につけ、そのスキルを持っていることを多くの人が知っているからこそ、田舎暮らしで成立するだけの環境を整えて地元に戻っていきました。 ■その田舎だからできる仕事とは なんだろう。 （追加： 誰だー、魚拓とか取った奴はー。 あるいはこいつとか。 こういうときこそmixiだと思うんだけどね。 ただ、まともに消費地で相手にしてもらえる商品やサービスを作り、ブランドを育て、その産業の担い手を用意するにはどうしたって10年ぐらいはかかりますから、自治体が腰を据えて取り組んで、ようやく五分五分かそこらの成功率なんだろうとは思いますけどね…。 ■人口オーナスとか そういう意味では、これは個別事例といえど抱える問題の構造は深い。 そして、彼自身が都会で働く選択をしれっとしている現状に憤慨してもしょうがない。 もちろん結論は出ません。
The trust brand Dave Ramsey was telling a small business person how he'd built his media empire. The guy interrupted, "well, sure, that's fine for you, because you have a trust brand." A trust brand? What other kinds of brands are there? Perhaps your brand stands for cheap or convenient. When you have a choice in what to buy, you will first and foremost (and second and third in fact) base your choice on a simple question, "who do I trust to keep the promise that the marketers are making?" The fact is, people will soon forget if they overpaid for something. The fascinating thing: even though most everyone shakes their head in agreement on this topic, they get stuck answering the question, "how have you regularly overinvested and prioritized being the most trustworthy organization/individual in your industry?" It doesn't matter if you work for a search engine, run a plumbing service or organize a conference.
Can Trust Systems Build a New Economy From Ruin? In 1956, Bill Fair and Earl Isaac created the credit scoring system popularly known as FICO, for Fair Isaac Corporation. Fair and Isaac’s automated scoring system enabled credit card issuers to safely extend consumer credit to the masses. Consumer credit reached global scale with the consolidation of numerous international issuers into VISA in 1975. In 1995, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac began to require that mortgage lenders include FICO scores, cementing the metric’s authority. FICO, VISA, subprime mortgages, and other consumer credit innovations fueled unprecedented levels of household consumption and debt in the US and beyond. Fast forward to today.

Meanwhile, the sharing economy has emerged offering a hopeful prospect — a higher quality of life at dramatically lower economic and environmental cost. Image by VenomSpartan via DeviantArt.

Mobile & Internet HTC phone emphasizes pixel quality over pixel count HTC says the new sensor, faster shutter speed, and f/2.0 aperture in its latest phone all mean “fantastic pictures and video” and “incredible shots of fast moving things and people in poor light, whether indoors or out.” You know the old saying: Less is more. Many critics, myself included, have long insisted the imaging industry ignores this maxim, constantly emphasizing megapixels instead of picture quality — when in fact more pixels crammed into a fixed-sized sensor simply means smaller pixels, which gather less light, and yield an image with more noise. The resolution competition that long engulfed the camera business also crept into camera phones, with 5-, 8-, 13MP and even higher resolutions stuffed into small sensors. As phone-maker HTC puts it, “The smaller the pixel, the less light each one collects. Now HTC is going against the tide with its latest One phone: four million pixels on a standard-sized sensor instead of the 8–13MP.

Credport Trust and reputation are two words that get used so often and similarly on the web that they get confused with each other. Can I trust him? What's her reputation? Discussing the meaning of trust and reputation as well as examining how they fit together will hopefully give you a better idea of how Credport works. To start, I'd like to refer back to a previous blog post to come up with a definition of trust - What is trust? . If I were to say that a babysitter was trustworthy, I would mean that there is a high probability she will take good care of the children she is tasked with watching. On the other hand, reputation isn't a prediction of the future, but knowledge of the past. Your eBay reputation is a combined history of how you've behaved in all of your previous transactions. So then how do trust and reputation fit together? Simply, a strong reputation builds trust. Credport is a way to aggregate your reputation in one place - therefore increasing the likelihood that people trust you.
Empire Avenue | Expand, Engage, Evaluate Whuffie Whuffie is the ephemeral, reputation-based currency of Cory Doctorow 's science fiction novel Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom and his short story Truncat . This book describes a post-scarcity economy : All the necessities (and most of the luxuries) of life are free for the taking. A person's current Whuffie is instantly viewable to anyone, as everybody has a brain-implant giving them an interface with the Net. The term has since seen some adoption as a synonym for social capital , including its use in the title of the Tara Hunt book The Whuffie Factor . [ 1 ] Explanation [ edit ] In the novel Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom , Industrial-era economic constraints and scarcity-management regimes have been made obsolete by technology: Whuffie has replaced money , providing an esteem- & admiration-rewarding motivation for people to do useful and creative things. While there are few details in the novel of how this system actually works, it is described in idealistic terms: Howard L.
