Bitcoin Explained

ARTICLES | FREEANONS TECNOSAPIENS La ciencia ha buscado en varias ocasiones definir la frontera entre el ser humano y el resto de los animales. Encontrar qué es lo que nos hace distintos, especiales. Hubo varias teorías parciales al respecto, con hipótesis centradas en el lenguaje, interacción social, capacidad craneal y uso de herramientas. Lo más probable es que la romántica línea divisoria no sea más que un borrón achaparrado con muchas manchas, y sea el todo resultante mucho más que la suma de las partes. Es por eso que podemos ver ejemplos de lenguaje elaborado, sociedades complejas, grandes cráneos y usos de herramientas en distintas especies animales. No sólo en la humana. Si cambiamos la palabra herramientas por la palabra tecnología, obtendremos una sutil diferencia que puede que nos haga confrontarla instintivamente con el reino animal. Es por eso que ninguna especie posee una tecnología ni remotamente comparable con la nuestra.

Bitcoin’s creator is Japanese mathematician Shinichi Mochizuki, says hypertext inventor Promotional posters for the new Everest movie recently appeared in New York City subway stations, and these days I travel to and from work with a strange lump in my throat. Everest, which opens in wide release in the US today (Sept. 25), is based on the true story of how eight people died in a storm on the world’s tallest mountain in 1996. It’s the same story that Jon Krakauer told in his bestselling book Into Thin Air. It was, until last year, the most deadly accident in Mount Everest’s history. Then on April 18, 2014, an ice release killed 16 climbers on the mountain. I was there, and my feelings about it are still a mess of contradictions. But when I watched the Everest trailer online a few weeks ago, I couldn’t stop shaking. I fretted about writing this article. But I’m still going to tell you all about it. I started reading books about mountaineering in grade school, and in college I developed an academic interest in the Himalayas. I was mostly worried about altitude sickness.

Bitcoin's Impact On So-Called Social Issues This morning, I awoke to an individual on Twitter letting me know, in no uncertain terms, that bitcoin and social issues were unrelated. Since literally everything is related to everything else in some way, I’ll assume what he meant is that bitcoin and social issues are particularly far apart in terms of overlap. This is of course absurd. While “social issues” is a term which needs to be defined prior to further discussion, the “social issues” that particularly interest me are issues of poverty, class, mobility, equality of opportunity and access to resources. Access to banking and credit Credit is one of humankind’s most important innovations. Bitcoin addresses this inequity in two ways. Second, the Bitcoin protocol offers the promise of Smart Contracts. Remittances and fighting oppressive regimes The ability to transfer money globally is a very powerful tool in the fight against poverty. In addition, bitcoin offers an escape hatch to people trapped under oppressive regimes. Charity

Darknet Fotos de la biografía Bitcoin will be part of the global banking order, says Circle CEO The future of bitcoin will be determined by central banks, standards bodies and corporate contributors. That’s the view of entrepreneur Jeremy Allaire, who used a Monday morning keynote address in New York to set out out a vision of the digital currency that is decidedly unlike the decentralized dreams of many early bitcoin backers. Allaire, whose startup Circle is vying to taking bitcoin into the consumer mainstream, spoke at Inside Bitcoins, one of a growing number of event franchises capitalizing on a spike of interest in payments and virtual currencies. According to Allaire, bitcoin’s emergence as a global payment platform will depend on governments altering anti-money-laundering laws, and helping bitcoin service providers integrate with the world’s existing banking infrastructure. More remarkably, Allaire also suggested that national governments could one day establish treaties to regulate bitcoin mining cartels, and act as market makers for bitcoin through their central banks.

(VIDEO) Fotografiar lo invisible: Crean una técnica para poder ver el sonido o el calor En realidad el procedimiento para captar el sonido o el calor no requiere de técnicas especialmente complejas. De hecho, existe un recurso avanzado de fotografía que permite captar estas formas de energía llamada fotografía Schlieren, explica el bloguero Carlos Zahumenszky. La fotografía Schlieren percibe las variaciones en la densidad de un fluido (el aire, en este caso) generadas por el sonido o por el calor. Estas variaciones se conocen como efecto Schlieren y fue descubierto por el físico alemán August Toepler en 1864. Gracias a un conjunto de espejos cóncavos se logra percibir dichas variaciones en el aire, quedando iluminado el objeto en su parte posterior con lo que se conoce como luz colimada, que es aquella cuyos rayos discurren paralelos entre sí. El objeto iluminado de esta forma se percibe como una silueta oscura.

¿Conoces estas 25 enfermedades terriblemente extrañas? Elisanth_/iStock/Thinkstock En el vasto campo de la medicina, una de las ramas científicas más antiguas, útiles e importantes en la historia de las ciencias, los descubrimientos y el desarrollo de nuevos conocimientos nunca cesa. No obstante, hay ciertas instancias en las que los médicos quedan simplemente anonadados ante la singularidad o la rareza de determinados casos. Hemos hablado sobre distintos ejemplos en numerosas oportunidades: enfermedades muy, pero muy extrañas, síndromes que ocurren en promedios de 1 en miles de millones y todo tipo de trastornos, tanto físicos como psicológicos, que parecen salidos de la más extravagante ficción. moodboard/moodboard/Thinkstock 25.

9 | Data Cuisine: The Edible Future Of Infographics It would be fair to say that visualization maestro Moritz Stefaner eats up data. Over the years, he has used data for everything from identifying the world's selfiest cities to showing the hidden network stringing together the world's scientific institutions. It was probably only a matter of time before Stefaner made his consumption of data literal. Stefaner is now exploring a new frontier in data viz. It's called Data Cuisine, and it's all about cooking up infographics that you can literally eat: a pizza that conveys the patterns of 100 years of Italian immigration, for example, or a salmon mousse that explores the environmental impacts of commercial fishing over the past decade. The Data Cuisine project started in 2011, when cultural curator Susanne Jaschko approached Stefaner with the idea of mapping data patterns to food. "I usually visualize data using colors, shapes, and form, but food opens up another dimension," Stefaner tells Co.Design.

Crea como Tesla, crea como Mozart Por Javier Meléndez Martín ( @_jmelendez_ ) alieri cuenta a los locos cómo se convirtió en enemigo de Mozart. Ocurrió tras haber visto los primeros y únicos borradores de Mozart, sin correcciones. La escena que describe Saliere no ocurrió más que en el Amadeus dirigido por Milos Forman, pero en ella hay algo cierto: Mozart rara vez escribió más de un borrador de una misma obra. «Por más larga que sea, en mi mente aparece la totalidad de la composición, de modo que puedo verla en su totalidad —como si fuera una pintura o una estatua— de un solo vistazo. Las palabras de Mozart dan pie a pensar que Mozart apenas se esforzaba, pero esto no es cierto. Al igual que Mozart, Tesla hizo la mayor parte de su trabajo en la cabeza. «No necesitaba modelos, ni dibujos, ni experimentos: todo eso lo podía hacer en mi mente, y así lo hacía. Las palabras de Tesla pueden leerse en Firmado: Nikola Tesla, recopilación de textos y conferencias del científico hecha por Miguel A. ¡Ahora hacemos libros!
