A FETE DAY The temperature continued to decrease; the mercurial thermometer, which freezes at 42 degrees below zero, was no longer of service, and the spirit thermometer of the had been brought into use. This now registered 53 degrees below freezing-point. Dobryna In the creek, where the two vessels had been moored for the winter, the elevation of the ice, in anticipation of which Lieutenant Procope had taken the precautionary measure of beveling, was going on slowly but irresistibly, and the tartan was upheaved fifty feet above the level of the Gallian Sea, while the schooner, as being lighter, had been raised to a still greater altitude. So irresistible was this gradual process of elevation, so utterly defying all human power to arrest, that the lieutenant began to feel very anxious as to the safety of his yacht. With the exception of the engine and the masts, everything had been cleared out and conveyed to shore, but in the event of a thaw it appeared that nothing short of a miracle could prevent the hull from being dashed to pieces, and then all means of leaving the promontory would be gone. The , of course, would share a similar fate; in fact, it had already heeled over to such an extent as to render it quite dangerous for its obstinate owner, who, at the peril of his life, resolved that he would stay where he could watch over his all-precious cargo, though continually invoking curses on the ill-fate of which he deemed himself the victim. Hansa There was, however, a stronger will than Isaac Hakkabut’s. Although no one of all the community cared at all for the safety of the Jew, they cared very much for the security of his cargo, and when Servadac found that nothing would induce the old man to abandon his present quarters voluntarily, he very soon adopted measures of coercion that were far more effectual than any representations of personal danger. “Stop where you like, Hakkabut,” said the captain to him; “but understand that I consider it my duty to make sure that your cargo is taken care of. I am going to have it carried across to land, at once.” Neither groans, nor tears, nor protestations on the part of the Jew, were of the slightest avail. Forthwith, on the 20th of December, the removal of the goods commenced. Both Spaniards and Russians were all occupied for several days in the work of unloading the tartan. Well muffled up as they were in furs, they were able to endure the cold with impunity, making it their special care to avoid actual contact with any article made of metal, which, in the low state of the temperature, would inevitably have taken all the skin off their hands, as much as if it had been red-hot. The task, however, was brought to an end without accident of any kind; and when the stores of the were safely deposited in the galleries of the Hive, Lieutenant Procope avowed that he really felt that his mind had been unburdened from a great anxiety. Hansa Captain Servadac gave old Isaac full permission to take up his residence amongst the rest of the community, promised him the entire control over his own property, and altogether showed him so much consideration that, but for his unbounded respect for his master, Ben Zoof would have liked to reprimand him for his courtesy to a man whom he so cordially despised. Although Hakkabut clamored most vehemently about his goods being carried off “against his will,” in his heart he was more than satisfied to see his property transferred to a place of safety, and delighted, moreover, to know that the transport had been effected without a farthing of expense to himself. As soon, then, as he found the tartan empty, he was only too glad to accept the offer that had been made him, and very soon made his way over to the quarters in the gallery where his merchandise had been stored. Here he lived day and night. He supplied himself with what little food he required from his own stock of provisions, a small spirit-lamp sufficing to perform all the operations of his meager cookery. Consequently all intercourse between himself and the rest of the inhabitants was entirely confined to business transactions, when occasion required that some purchase should be made from his stock of commodities. Meanwhile, all the silver and gold of the colony was gradually finding its way to a double-locked drawer, of which the Jew most carefully guarded the key. The 1st of January was drawing near, the anniversary of the shock which had resulted in the severance of thirty-six human beings from the society of their fellow-men. Hitherto, not one of them was missing. The unvarying calmness of the climate, notwithstanding the cold, had tended to maintain them in good health, and there seemed no reason to doubt that, when Gallia returned to the earth, the total of its little population would still be complete. The 1st of January, it is true, was not properly “New Year’s Day” in Gallia, but Captain Servadac, nevertheless, was very anxious to have it observed as a holiday. “I do not think,” he said to Count Timascheff and Lieutenant Procope, “that we ought to allow our people to lose their interest in the world to which we are all hoping to return; and how can we cement the bond that ought to unite us, better than by celebrating, in common with our fellow-creatures upon earth, a day that awakens afresh the kindliest sentiments of all? Besides,” he added, smiling, “I expect that Gallia, although invisible just at present to the naked eye, is being closely watched by the telescopes of our terrestrial friends, and I have no doubt that the newspapers and scientific journals of both hemispheres are full of accounts detailing the movements of the new comet.” “True,” asserted the count. “I can quite imagine that we are occasioning no small excitement in all the chief observatories.” “Ay, more than that,” said the lieutenant; “our Gallia is certain to be far more than a mere object of scientific interest or curiosity. Why should we doubt that the elements of a comet which has once come into collision with the earth have by this time been accurately calculated? What our friend the professor has done here, has been done likewise on the earth, where, beyond a question, all manner of expedients are being discussed as to the best way of mitigating the violence of a concussion that must occur.” The lieutenant’s conjectures were so reasonable that they commanded assent. Gallia could scarcely be otherwise than an object of terror to the inhabitants of the earth, who could by no means be certain that a second collision would be comparatively so harmless as the first. Even to the Gallians themselves, much as they looked forward to the event, the prospect was not unmixed with alarm, and they would rejoice in the invention of any device by which it was likely the impetus of the shock might be deadened. Christmas arrived, and was marked by appropriate religious observance by everyone in the community, with the exception of the Jew, who made a point of secluding himself more obstinately than ever in the gloomy recesses of his retreat. To Ben Zoof the last week of the year was full of bustle. The arrangements for the New Year were entrusted to him, and he was anxious, in spite of the resources of Gallia being so limited, to make the program for the great day as attractive as possible. fete It was a matter of debate that night whether the professor should be invited to join the party; it was scarcely likely that he would care to come, but, on the whole, it was felt to be advisable to ask him. At first Captain Servadac thought of going in person with the invitation; but, remembering Rosette’s dislike to visitors, he altered his mind, and sent young Pablo up to the observatory with a formal note, requesting the pleasure of Professor Rosette’s company at the New Year’s . fete Pablo was soon back, bringing no answer except that the professor had told him that “to-day was the 125th of June, and that to-morrow would be the 1st of July.” Consequently, Servadac and the count took it for granted that Palmyrin Rosette declined their invitation. An hour after sunrise on New Year’s Day, Frenchmen, Russians, Spaniards, and little Nina, as the representative of Italy, sat down to a feast such as never before had been seen in Gallia. Ben Zoof and the Russian cook had quite surpassed themselves. The wines, part of the stores, were of excellent quality. Those of the vintages of France and Spain were drunk in toasting their respective countries, and even Russia was honored in a similar way by means of a few bottles of kummel. The company was more than contented—it was as jovial as Ben Zoof could desire; and the ringing cheers that followed the great toast of the day—“A happy return to our Mother Earth,” must fairly have startled the professor in the silence of his observatory. Dobryna’s The over, there still remained three hours of daylight. The sun was approaching the zenith, but so dim and enfeebled were his rays that they were very unlike what had produced the wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy which they had just been enjoying, and it was necessary for all, before starting upon an excursion that would last over nightfall, to envelop themselves in the thickest of clothing. dejeuner Full of spirits, the party left the Hive, and chattering and singing as they went, made their way down to the frozen shore, where they fastened on their skates. Once upon the ice, everyone followed his own fancy, and some singly, some in groups, scattered themselves in all directions. Captain Servadac, the count, and the lieutenant were generally seen together. Negrete and the Spaniards, now masters of their novel exercise, wandered fleetly and gracefully hither and thither, occasionally being out of sight completely. The Russian sailors, following a northern custom, skated in file, maintaining their rank by means of a long pole passed under their right arms, and in this way they described a trackway of singular regularity. The two children, blithe as birds, flitted about, now singly, now arm-in-arm, now joining the captain’s party, now making a short peregrination by themselves, but always full of life and spirit. As for Ben Zoof, he was here, there, and everywhere, his imperturbable good temper ensuring him a smile of welcome whenever he appeared. Thus coursing rapidly over the icy plain, the whole party had soon exceeded the line that made the horizon from the shore. First, the rocks of the coast were lost to view; then the white crests of the cliffs were no longer to be seen; and at last, the summit of the volcano, with its corona of vapor, was entirely out of sight. Occasionally the skaters were obliged to stop to recover their breath, but, fearful of frost-bite, they almost instantly resumed their exercise, and proceeded nearly as far as Gourbi Island before they thought about retracing their course. But night was coming on, and the sun was already sinking in the east with the rapidity to which the residents on Gallia were by this time well accustomed. The sunset upon this contracted horizon was very remarkable. There was not a cloud nor a vapor to catch the tints of the declining beams; the surface of the ice did not, as a liquid sea would, reflect the last green ray of light; but the radiant orb, enlarged by the effect of refraction, its circumference sharply defined against the sky, sank abruptly, as though a trap had been opened in the ice for its reception. Before the daylight ended. Captain Servadac had cautioned the party to collect themselves betimes into one group. “Unless you are sure of your whereabouts before dark,” he said, “you will not find it after. We have come out like a party of skirmishers; let us go back in full force.” The night would be dark; their moon was in conjunction, and would not be seen; the stars would only give something of that “pale radiance” which the poet Corneille has described. Immediately after sunset the torches were lighted, and the long series of flames, fanned by the rapid motion of their bearers, had much the appearance of an enormous fiery banner. An hour later, and the volcano appeared like a dim shadow on the horizon, the light from the crater shedding a lurid glare upon the surrounding gloom. In time the glow of the burning lava, reflected in the icy mirror, fell upon the troop of skaters, and cast their lengthened shadows grotesquely on the surface of the frozen sea. Later still, half an hour or more afterwards, the torches were all but dying out. The shore was close at hand. All at once, Ben Zoof uttered a startled cry, and pointed with bewildered excitement towards the mountain. Involuntarily, one and all, they plowed their heels into the ice and came to a halt. Exclamations of surprise and horror burst from every lip. The volcano was extinguished! The stream of burning lava had suddenly ceased to flow! Speechless with amazement, they stood still for some moments. There was not one of them that did not realize, more or less, how critical was their position. The sole source of the heat that had enabled them to brave the rigor of the cold had failed them! death, in the cruellest of all shapes, seemed staring them in the face—death from cold! Meanwhile, the last torch had flickered out. It was quite dark. “Forward!” cried Servadac, firmly. At the word of command they advanced to the shore; clambered with no little difficulty up the slippery rocks; gained the mouth of the gallery; groped their way into the common hall. How dreary! how chill it seemed! The fiery cataract no longer spread its glowing covering over the mouth of the grotto. Lieutenant Procope leaned through the aperture. The pool, hitherto kept fluid by its proximity to the lava, was already encrusted with a layer of ice. Such was the end of the New Year’s Day so happily begun.

A FETE DAY

Once upon a time in our digital Odyssey, we believed that personalization would be our North Star, guiding us to a more intuitive, more bespoke internet. Yet as we chase this, we find ourselves not under an open sky but entangled in a labyrinth of mirrors, reflecting nothing but ourselves. The seductive call of personalization is hard to ignore. Who wouldn’t want their digital universe tailored to their tastes and preferences, a world where algorithms act as personal butlers, predicting needs, and serving up desired content on a silver platter? However, this convenience comes at a price - isolation, sensitivity to the unfamiliar, and a growing trend towards self-centeredness. An Over-Personalized Internet Imagine sitting in a room filled with mirrors, each one reflecting only your image. This room is cozy, comfortable, and custom-made. But as days turn into nights, the reflections start feeling repetitive, the room begins to shrink, and you realize - you are utterly alone. This is the paradox of personalization. Our digital rooms, curated by algorithms, echo our thoughts, amplify our voices, and paint our walls with colors we like. Yet, in the process, they mute the noise of diverse perspectives, dim the vibrancy of shared experiences, and reduce the panorama of human existence to a myopic self-portrait. Basking in the solace of our digital echo chambers, we become increasingly sensitive to anything outside of them. As our patience for diverse opinions dwindles, so does our capacity for empathy and understanding. The world outside our personalized rooms starts to feel abrasive, confrontational, even threatening. The trend doesn't stop there, as the digital spotlight shines solely on us, ego bloats to fill the stage. Concerns for others retreat into the shadows, and a subconscious focus on "I" takes center stage. With our digital assistants fawning over our every whim and need, could we be breeding a generation more narcissistic than altruistic? Paradise Lost Amidst these concerns, a question arises: could the personalized paradise we've been promised be nothing more than an illusion? As we navigate this potential mirage, the comfort of our individual reflections begins to clash with a deep-seated yearning for genuine, rooted connections. Could we consider a shift from personalization to personal growth? As we examine our algorithms, are they serving merely as echo chambers or could they act as windows to the world? Should we demand they help us venture beyond our comfort zones, challenging us to grapple with novel perspectives, unfamiliar cultures, and the rich spectrum of human emotions? Striking a Balance As we fine-tune our digital compasses, what is the balance we seek? Is it a state of equilibrium between convenience and curiosity, between introspection and empathy, between the solitary echo of "I" and the harmonious symphony of "Us"? If the beauty of human existence lies in shared experiences, in the diverse palette of opinions, and the combined melody of myriad voices, are we losing sight of it within our personalized confines? When we stare into our digital mirrors, is our solitary reflection enough? Or should we strive to see the world in all its glory, color, and complexity mirrored back at us? Perhaps the true power of technology isn’t to ensnare us in individualistic mirrored rooms, but to unite us within a shared digital agora, a space that celebrates and fosters our collective identity.

3 Reasons Why Everyone Now Cares About Web3

How to think about the internet’s legacy Around 1776, a group of people in the Thirteen American Colonies discovered that by creating a nation, a story of the future United States, that they could join millions of strangers together to fight for a common cause. Stories of these Founding Fathers are at the core of classroom education around the country. The internet is in need of a similar story. Yet as we approach the internet’s 50th anniversary in 2019, a symbolic story uniting the people of the internet is missing from our collective consciousness. Founded on October 29th, 1969, the internet has brought immeasurable benefits to humanity. The United States endures in our minds due to symbols like the Statue of Liberty. The 3 billion people who frequent the internet are in need of new symbols and stories that unite us globally on the network. Luckily, the internet already has a wonderful origin story. But this story isn’t taught in our high schools, and unfortunately, it isn’t well known by the majority of people. The internet wasn’t funded by Silicon Valley venture capitalists. It wasn’t sold off to Apple or Microsoft, and it never had an IPO. The Founding Fathers of the Internet, Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn, gave the internet as a gift to humanity. This wasn’t an accident; it was by design. Early pioneers of the internet: Steve Wozniak, Stewart Brand, Richard Stallman, and Tim Berner’s Lee Early settlers to the internet, hackers like Steve Wozniak, Stewart Brand, and Richard Stallman, advocated that “information should be free,” and that access to the internet could make the world a better place. Fast forward to the early 90s, and you’ll find stories of Tim Berners Lee, who put his revolutionary invention the World Wide Web into the general public domain — free for everyone to copy, no strings attached. Around that time, John Perry Barlow founded the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), which has since become something like the ACLU of the internet. In 1996, Barlow published his manifesto , in which he wrote: A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace “I declare the global social space we are building to be naturally independent of the tyrannies you seek to impose on us […] We are creating a world that all may enter without privilege or prejudice accorded by race, economic power, military force, or station of birth.” John Perry Barlow passed away last year, which led me to wonder, when this first generation of internet pioneers make their exit, what legacy will be upheld in their absence? Author Joi Ito lamented this tide-change in his recent Wired piece “ ” in which he offers the analogy of the early internet generation as being anaerobic bacteria, unable to thrive, and dying out in the mud of time. But allow me to entertain another possibility for the future: What if instead of passively shedding history, we actively work to remember and celebrate it? The Next Great (Digital) Extinction, Facebook is not the internet In the absence of a symbolic story uniting the people of the internet, we are left to tell the stories of Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Google as if they are our story. For many, a common narrative has become the idea that these companies are the internet. Let’s take a look at one example: Facebook. Facebook is not the internet — if anything, Facebook is part of the ruling class of the internet. Similar to how the British monarchy once taxed the colonies, Facebook comes with a tax: they harvest your private data and sell it to advertisers. We need a story that endures over generations Looking back to 1773, the key factor that separated The Boston Tea Party from just another mob of angry protesters was our ability to remember it as a small chapter in a larger journey. It wasn’t just about a tea tax. The story of the Boston Tea Party is about one night when a group of people stood up against King George of England, and eventually won their freedom. In the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal, of Facebook users posted #DeleteFacebook on Twitter. Perhaps this could have been the internet’s “Boston Tea Party” moment. Yet without a better story — a story about building a better society — those who attempted to jump ship found there was nowhere else to go. hundreds of thousands I’m not suggesting that we need to overthrow Facebook to create a compelling history, but that we do need to establish a narrative that is independent of these massive corporations. Over the past decade, the perception of the internet has gone from being a tool advocating , and , to a place fraught with , , and endless reports of in America. global democracy upward mobility Russian trolls Chinese censorship fake news How do we restore the original vision of the internet? And how do we maintain one clear, positive, vision over the next century? Answer: We need a story that will guide us. Like an anchor, a good story can connect us to our past as we move forward into the future. In order to unite the people through the inevitable turbulence that lies ahead — we need a story that represents the 3 billion people, not just the corporations or governments, that live on the internet. Preserving the Legacy of the Internet Legacy is preserved through rituals and story. The legacy of the internet is the story of a tool that was created of the people, by the people, and for the people. This is our history. These stories exist, and we need to start telling them. The United States endures due to its storytelling. Here you see a painting of the historic signing of the Declaration of Independence. I’ve covered the Founding Father’s of the United States faces with those of the internet’s pioneers as a reflection of the absence of paintings, stories, and symbols of internet history. We have three Steve Jobs movies, but where is the movie about the ARPANET? I find strength in hearing stories of the early internet: Stories of ARPA, J. C. R. Licklider, Paul Baran, Vint Cerf, and Bob Kahn, who worked to accomplish one of the biggest, and most audacious of goals of the past century: to create one global decentralized internet for all of humanity. I openly support organizations like , the , the , , and , who are fighting to uphold the original vision of the internet. Mozilla EFF W3C Blockstack Consensys And I’m deeply inspired when I see , the inventor of the World Wide Web, actively fighting to restore power and agency to individuals on the web. This year, California Congressman Ro Khanna, with the blessing of Tim Berners Lee, took a noble step forward for the internet’s legacy by proposing an . We need an Internet Bill of Rights! But why stop there? Tim Berners Lee Internet Bill of Rights — the Bill of Rights, the flag, democracy, and a will to preserve the legacy of our Founding Fathers — If the United States endures as a result of its symbolic stories perhaps the internet should follow suit.

A People’s History of the Internet

A crew of unknown men mosey into a chip manufacturer in China and say, “to hell with the blueprints, jam this pencil-tip size chip in the middle of everything; if you do, you get a bunch of money; if you don’t, you fail your next inspection and your factory is done.” In Bloomberg Businessweek’s “ ,” Jordan Robertson and Michael Riley identify the bad actors as “middlemen” and go on to describe how, through the implant, they likely infiltrated the backbone of 30 prominent US businesses, including Apple and Amazon, and those who do business with them. The Big Hack: How China Used a Tiny Chip to Infiltrate America’s Top Companies It made its rounds — Apple and Amazon deny; Bloomberg doubles-down saying they spent a year conducting over “more than 100 interviews, including several current and former senior national security officials and insiders at Apple and Amazon. In all, 17 people confirmed the manipulation of Supermicro’s hardware and other elements of the attacks.” And then nothing. It appears as if Americans are not concerned that a foreign government could have outfoxed Amazon, Google, and our own federal government and walked away with volts of information. When it’s a foreign adversary perpetrating the heist against Americans, we call it espionage; when it’s citizen-on-citizen, we call it cybercrime. Our journalists call the perpetrators, “middlemen” and “hackers.” At this moment in time, our personal data is a resource as life-giving as it is lethal. I’d call anybody in the business of stealing it a thug. Bloomberg recounts how in September 2015, President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping met at the White House to announce a cybersecurity deal: China would no longer support hackers who stole intellectual property from US companies for the benefit of Chinese companies. In the weeks after the deal was touted, we learn, the Pentagon quickly and quietly ushered the country’s leading tech executives and investors to McClean, Virginia to see if anyone could create a product which would identify hardware implants. Bloomberg concludes its article by proclaiming, “In the three years since the briefing in McLean, no commercially viable way to detect attacks like the one on [these] motherboards has emerged — or has looked likely to emerge.” That’s fair — until now. Distributed ledger technology, the technology behind blockchain, changes everything. There’s an Arms Race, and the Bad Guys Are Winning The alleged chip implants allowed The Chinese People’s Liberation Army to gain control of the systems they were put into. Gaining control of mission-critical devices doesn’t have to require chip implants though. Take for example the hack which blew out half of the internet in October 2016 — three guys between nineteen and twenty years old from Pennsylvania and Louisiana compromised a bunch of DVRs and webcams and then directed them to attack the servers which host our favorite websites when they told the devices they no longer belonged to their owners. At the end of the day, in all cases, it comes down to “transmission control.” TCP/IP — which is the abbreviation for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol — is a bundle of protocols developed by DARPA between 1978–1983 and from which the internet spawned. We analogize TCP/IP as the information superhighway; architecturally, it is responsible for connection establishment, management, and reliable data transport between software processes on devices. The problem, though, is TCP/IP, as we know it, doesn’t do anything to govern the processes which run on the hardware it connects. If a central server says, “Hey, I’ve decided Jonathan Manzi’s iPhone no longer belongs to him and belongs to Elon Musk instead” then, presto, TCP/IP makes it happen. How We Can Throw a Knockout Punch with Distributed Ledger Technology When each device is manufactured, it follows a recipe — the list of ingredients is called the BOM, or bill of materials. The parts which can have malicious software loaded on them — for example, the microchips — are, at the finest level of detail, unique due to the properties of silicon. In other words, each has a unique fingerprint. In a distributed ledger framework, each device — take my iPhone — would have the fingerprints of its pertinent parts stored on it — and here’s the kicker — it would have the fingerprints of all the pertinent parts of all other iPhones in the Universe also stored on it. And when a new iPhone is manufactured, my iPhone and all other iPhones in the Universe add the new iPhone’s fingerprints. This way, if through TCP/IP, a treacherous message comes through — Manzi’s iPhone now belongs to Musk — Manzi’s iPhone understands the Universe recognizes Musk’s iPhone as being assigned to fingerprints which Manzi’s phone does not have. It doesn’t allow the hack to happen. To be clear, TCP/IP need not be replaced, we just need to introduce a distributed ledger based protocol to sit on top and coordinate decide-to-device communication. A Status Quo Which Will Be Our Ruin; A Breakthrough to Unite Us As we enter the era of cyberware, every gadget and device is a new battleground. Imagine if an adversary had control of our traffic grids and the delivery rooms of our hospitals. Just like we united globally around technology to create the internet, we must unite again to prevent cybercrime by bolting on a universal protocol for node-to-node coordination on-top of TCP/IP. Jonathan Manzi is the Co-Founder and CEO of Beyond Protocol, Inc., a mostly stealth Silicon-Valley distributed ledger technology venture building “the internet of the new era — the ethical language of machines.”

How Blockchain Could Have Stopped the China Chip Hack and Other Acts by the Thugs of our Generation

Designer Talk Hey there! This article was born from a “video recording”, so you can play it or read it. You make the choice. — As designers, there came a point where we ask ourselves common questions like: Text version What is , and what are the differences between design and art? Do most people, consider design a form of art? design See, these questions have always aroused discussions between designers and others. If we analyze the reasons that lead some to see design as a form of art, we might begin by saying things like: “both the designer and the artist create visual compositions.” We could then go on to talk about many subjective interpretations and defend our own personal views, but there would be no intention of finding common ground, so we would never stop arguing about it. That’s because we attach too much importance to the words. When we try to define something by limiting it, we create a division. As we know, divisions often generate conflict. It is no accident that every time someone tries to answer the question: and as a result implicitly answer we witness the birth of long debates. “What is design?” “what design is not,” In the Archaic period, it seems that some people commonly struggled to distinguish the word from the thing. And they ended up perceiving any definition as a representation of reality, rather than viewing it as a communication tool, as a sharing instrument. Well, I’m not here today to look for good reasons to break us up. Instead, by encouraging a viewpoint that goes beyond its words, I’d like to highlight the facts concerning the true nature of design. So, let us begin with a fact which we can all recognize, regardless of what we think of as design. Design with intent Everyday objects unite us in achieving a purpose (an end) according to our needs. so on_._ If we feel tired, a chair allows us to sit down.If it’s raining cats and dogs, an umbrella protects us against rain.If we need to take a note, a pen allows us to write on a piece of paper.AND Anything designed with the intention of solving a problem fits within this category. Of course, you may decide to use the objects listed before in a different way. And that would be your personal decision, moving away from the original intention the object was designed for.Or perhaps, if you have never seen these objects before, you may not understand how to use them. Clearly understanding the cited examples imply that we share the same technological context. Anyway, a design begins with the intention to create an understandable and sharable solution for the largest number of people involved. Design unites people I may think the chair in which I currently sit is aesthetically unpleasant and uncomfortable, but that hasn’t stopped me from understanding and taking advantage of its function. Meanwhile, someone else may decide to sit on the same chair, and they could argue that it is the most beautiful and comfortable chair they have ever used. And we can both recognise that, regardless of the individual user experience generated, this chair remains a designed with the intention that as many people as possible will understand how to use it to sit down. product But what if most people standing in front of a chair did not understand it was a chair? Or even worse, they understand it is a chair, but they can’t figure out how to use it to sit down? In that case, we wouldn’t be in front of a piece of design anymore, but we would only be standing in front of a piece of art, something that was created based on the pure self-affirmation of its creator; anyway that doesn’t mean that the artistic creation in question serves no purpose (although many supporters of art prefer to believe that art doesn’t have a purpose). But when we talk about the aim of a piece, we should stress that art doesn’t share the same intent or purpose as an act of design. And This difference in the intent of creation is a cardinal rule that helps understand and explain what separates design from art. Design vs Art So, can a design be regarded as form of art? The answer to this question lies in the facts we can recognise and observe together, and not in the words we use. You can personally consider any design object artistic. You may, for example, consider an , or whatever other object may pop into your head, a work of art. iPhone BUT — If a designer begins his process with the intention of creating an artwork rather than understanding and seeking a fact, not opinion, based solution to a problem that affects people — he wouldn’t be implementing a design process. Regardless of what he spawns, it won’t be design. The designer has the responsibility and the role to figure out how to produce a solution that is understandable to others and not just himself; a responsibility which is fulfilled by following a design process devoid of any need to for self-affirmation. Now let’s consider a final example to understand this distinction between art and design once and for all. Design is urinal In 1917 the artist Marcel Duchamp took a common porcelain urinal and he signed it with R. Mutt. Then, he presented the urinal as an artistic endeavor, entitled . “Fountain” Fountain by R. Mutt, Photograph by Alfred Stieglitz, THE EXHIBIT REFUSED BY THE INDEPENDENTS — via Wikipedia This piece of art was never shown to the public, and it created a fierce debate. If you studied some of the Art History of the last century, you might know Duchamp and you might also know that this piece of conceptual art is regarded as one of the greatest works of art of the twentieth century. Today there are sixteen copies of this object in the world, since the original one was lost. But if you don’t know Duchamp, the Dada Movement, the ready-made and whatnot, I suggest you to run a search because you may find it quite interesting. The urinal that Duchamp used was a common in those days — a sanitary appliance designed to allow a man to pee quickly while maintaining a high level of hygiene in certain situations. The object also saved water when compared with a traditional toilet, and was thus a solution with a minimum negative effect on the environment. Was the urinal already a piece of art? No. The urinal was, and is, a common everyday object created from a design process, a product developed to resolve certain problems for a specific audience. However, Duchamp took the urinal out-of-context and placed it in a way buried its practical significance beneath a title and a personal point of view. He gave his own purely personal meaning to an object originally designed to have the same meaning for many people. As you have heard before, its no coincident that art is affected as much by its context as the design itself. Therefore, we can recognise that Duchamp gave rise to a work of art and used it to promoted many subjective interpretations. Take for example the philosopher Stephen Hicks, who interpreted the of Duchamp as a provocative statement: Fountain “Art is something you piss on”. So we come to the conclusion that anything, even a design object, can be regarded as form of art. But we also recognise that the latter art, is addressed as a personal intention, as an act of self-expression (merely subjective, as the artist who searches for self-affirmation through the expression). An act of self-expression’s primary purpose is to invite people to reflect, or to inspire them with the expression of a personal point of view. And consequently, by distributing an invitation to reflect, art gives shape to debates, which often end in the division of people’s opinions. However, the intention of design is quite to the contrary; it is to reconcile and connect the maximum number of people involved through the production of a clear and understandable solution to a shared problem. This also means that, unlike with art, any kind of design process won’t simply end with a single person’s thoughts. Rather, it is the result of continued research that seeks to validate any hypothesis and potential solution directly through the people involved. Throughout the entire design process, design will continue to do so as much as is necessary and possible, through a constant iteration. At this point, I can close this long thought ironically, by saying that and Design is urinal Art is fountain :-) Thanks for your time!

Metacade Unchains Web3 Gaming: Multi-Chain Integration Unites the Industry

Just a few months ago, a major war happening in Europe was unthinkable. As the Russian army fired its first shots at the Ukrainian cities, the global community held its breath, awaiting what would happen next. The U.S. intelligence and European diplomats were highly skeptical about the defensive capabilities of Ukraine, giving it between several hours and days before falling to the invading forces. Luckily, these forecasts were completely inaccurate. The Ukrainian army took a defensive stance, as its President, Parliament, and local authorities refused to leave their cities. Moreover, the Ukrainian people stood in unity, doing everything in their power to defend against the invaders and stand their ground. The strength of the Ukrainian people and their leaders, headed by President Zelenskyy, inspired the world and pulled them out of the state of shock in the first days of the war. An absolute majority of the countries condemned Russian aggression, imposed sanctions on the aggressor, and unified in their support of Ukraine. The entire industries, sectors, and communities pulled their resources to offer assistance and funding to the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Ukrainian people. The global Fintech sector also offered aid in combat against the new global evil. This help came in various forms, including direct assistance in setting up the support channels, raising help, setting up relief funds, etc. Let’s review some of the examples. Kyrrex was amongst the first ones to step forward in its efforts to provide aid. The first global digital bank has provided over $100,000 in direct donations for humanitarian aid and direct support of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The company has established the to fund purchases of clothes, food, housing repair, and military uniforms for the Armed Forces. The company is planning to run the foundation during the war in Ukraine and after its end to support the rebuilding of infrastructure. Kyrrex Charitable Foundation Everstake, the Web3 company based in Ukraine, and the public blockchain platform Solana joined forces with the Ukrainian Ministry of Digital Transformation for launching Aid for Ukraine. Paypal enabled transfers from abroad to Ukraine, transfers within the country, and international payments. At the same time, the Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) raised $1.4 million in $SOL to prevent food supply, clothing, medicine, and military closing shortages. The Central Bank of Ukraine received all of the donations from DAO directly to its specially created account. Token, Yapily, Volt, Zopa Bank, and Banq made donations, started raising funds, and organized shelter, financial aid, and travel support for the Ukrainian refugees. Global Fintech said it loud and clear that Ukraine and its people will not stand alone in their fight against Russian international terrorism. Furthermore, digital banks and companies acted swiftly by providing support and joining forces against a common enemy threatening freedom, safety, and democracy. The new technology and software turned into effective tools of support and relief for millions of Ukrainians. It is now clear that the world will not stand aside until truth and kindness win over violence and terror. The global Fintech has chosen its side and united to stand strong against the war, as victory is possible only through unification.

Including Build, Unit Tests, E2E Tests for development and production. As we all know web pages are not the only destination for SPAs these days. Many applications are required to run directly on devices without the need for a browser. This is a short guide which shows the facilities available in UniteJS CLI to create an Electron app using the framework of your choice (Angular/Aurelia/Preact/React/Vue). The whole creation, build, test and package process takes only 4 minutes (excluding the node module installation, which we only do once) For this example we are going to use npm for node module management, but yarn is equally as good. Step 1 Install Unite JS CLI as a global package. npm install -g unitejs-cli Add the other global prerequisites. npm install -g gulp Step 2 Create an application with the configuration you want, see for options, or use the online CLI generator , for this example we will choose Angular TypeScript http://unitejs.com/#/cli http://unitejs.com/#/generator unite configure --profile=AngularTypeScript --packageName=unitejs-electron-test --title="Electron QuickStart" App created successfully. Step 3 Let’s add Electron as a platform target, we do this now so we only have to install node modules once. You can do this at any point in your development process along with any other platform targets, you will just have to install the node modules if you add the platform later. unite platform --operation=add --platformName=Electron Platform added, well that was easy. Step 4 Do the node modules installation (we don’t count this towards the total time as it’s a onetime deal). cd wwwnpm install All packages installed, let’s get on with the building. Step 5 Before we build any code it’s nice to create the icon and themes for our app, this step can be skipped if you want. Modify the .svg files in the ./www/assetSrc/theme/ and then run. gulp theme-build Icons created, looking good. Step 6 Simply build the app. gulp build Build successful, at this point you could run gulp serve and see the app in your browser, but that’s not our goal this time around, let’s continue. Step 7 Let’s run the unit tests. gulp unit Success again, mmm we need to increase that code coverage. Step 8 Install the selenium drivers for the E2E tests (again this is a onetime deal so excluded from the total time) gulp e2e-install Drivers installed, let’s get on with the E2E tests. Step 9 Run the E2E tests. gulp e2e Looks like they worked as well, a good sign the code is loading and rendering properly. Step 10 We now have a dev build, so let’s create a dev wrapper using Electron, this will point at the www folder, so whatever code is in there is what you will see in the Electron app (currently the dev build). gulp platform-electron-dev This task tries to determine the platform you are running on and creates a platform/architecture combination for Electron accordingly. It will download the Electron runtime for that platform and build it in the folder ./platform/electron/{platform}-{architecture}/. The platform/architecture combinations can be overridden or you can have more than one by modifying your unite.json, see information in the ./www/readme.md for more details. The icon is the default one for Electron, this makes it easier to distinguish this dev build from a production build which is properly themed with the correct icons.You should now be able run the executable in that folder and see the web page from your app appear, along with the dev tools. Development Electron App Party time!!!! Step 11 All well and good for development but let us continue and create a production release, which is bundled, minified and that we could give to someone else. First build the code for production. gulp build --buildConfiguration=prod Looks good, on we go. Step 12 We can’t run the unit tests against a production build, but we can run the E2E tests. gulp e2e All working again, a good sign the bundling and minification hasn’t screwed anything up. Step 13 Let’s create a production packaged Electron build. gulp platform-electron-package --buildConfiguration=prod During this task UniteJS will also generate icons for the platform/architectures you are creating from the ./www/assetSrc/theme/ .svg images. When it is completed you should see the following files and folders ./packaged/{version}/electron/ – these are all the files that were packaged And for each platform/architecture combination you will have. ./packaged/{version}/electron_{platform}_{architecture}/ - standalone electron build./packaged/{version}_electron_{platform}_{architecture}.zip – a zip of the build This task uses the same process for deciding on the platform/architecture combinations as the platform-electron-dev step so you have multiple platform/architecture builds if you want. Et voilà, a fully bundled, minified and styled Electron application in under 4 minutes. Production Electron App Conclusion That’s all there is to it, choose your application framework and configuration options and within a few short minutes you can have Electron build ready to roll out on multiple platform/architectures. To see this in action there is a GitHub repo at , the repo contains just a .travis.yml script which performs all the operations above. https://github.com/unitejs-examples/electron-quickstart You can see the travis build log here which reinforces just how fast the process is, and with no interaction whatsoever. https://travis-ci.org/unitejs-examples/electron-quickstart Martyn Janes @martynjanesSenior Developer UniteJS More Information For more information, documentation and the online CLI generator visit the web site at Npm: GitHub: Gitter Chat: Twitter: http://unitejs.com https://www.npmjs.com/package/unitejs-cli https://github.com/unitejs https://gitter.im/unitejs/discuss https://twitter.com/UniteJS

Transcendence Volume I, Book 1: Introduction

Caribbean countries are famous for their good living conditions - beautiful climate, nature and cheerful atmosphere. However, this is not their only advantage. Few people know, but several countries in the region were the first in the world together with China and Nigeria to issue a national digital currency - the Eastern Caribbean Dollar (XCD). It was done by the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB), a common Central Bank for several Caribbean countries. It unites 6 independent states - St. Kitts Nevis, Grenada, Dominica, Antigua and Barbuda, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, St. Lucia and two British overseas territories - Anguilla and Montesserat. All members of the monetary union also belong to a supranational entity, the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS). Also the associated members of OECS are British Virgin Islands, Anguilla, Martinique and Guadeloupe. Investment citizenship programs Issuance of CBDC in the form of XCD is not only one thing which makes Eastern Carribean interesting for crypto community. If you search in the web information about Grenada or St. Kitts Navis, you will find ads of their passports. Indeed, most countries of the region have investment programs that allow members to get citizenship. The first country that launched it was St. Kitts Nevis in 1984. Later all other Eastern Carribean countries joined the club. Except St. Vincent and the Grenadines - there is no such program there. Investment programs for citizenship in the Eastern Caribbean are much cheaper than the gold visas of European countries. To obtain citizenship under the investment program you need to donate an amount of $100,000-$150,000 to public funds or buy real estate for $250,000 or more. Such conditions of programs in St. Lucia, Antigua, Dominica and Grenada. For a passport St. Kitts and Nevis minimal amount to donate is significantly higher - $250,000. But the latter country is famous as the place where Bitcoin Cash founder and crypto-entrepreneur Roger Ver virtually moved to in 2014 and has become St. Kitts Nevis resident. Another famous St. Kitts Nevis passport holder is Telegram founder Pavel Durov, who has invested $250,000 in country’s economy since leaving Russia in 2014. This messenger actively uses the cryptocurrency TON. What about crypto regulation? Almost all of these countries have crypto regulation and this fact makes them an interesting place to move in for crypto community. The ECCB has developed a common crypto-regulatory platform for member countries. and were the first to adopt it in 2020. St. Vincent and the Grenadines passed the in May 2022, Dominica , and St. Lucia in St. Kitts Nevis Antigua law in June 2022 December 2022. Grenada is the only one of the 6 countries of the Eastern Caribbean, where there is still no law on cryptocurrency, but in 2021 the founder of TRON and owner of HTX crypto exchange Justin Sun representative of the island state in the WTO. However, after the SEC has started a court case against Justin, Grenada recalled the ambassador. Actually Justin Sun is a citizen of Grenada too. became All these laws are similar - there is a definition of cryptocurrency and it is allowed to legally provide crypto exchange and other operations with it. There is also such a basic legal term defined by FATF AML rules for crypto as VASP (Virtual Asset Service Provider), i.e. a company that performs transactions with cryptocurrency. According to the laws adopted in each of the five countries, such companies must be registered with the local regulator and/or Financial Intelligence Unit, if they perform the following operations: Exchange between virtual currencies Exchange of virtual currency to fiat currency Storage of virtual currencies Virtual currency transfers Issue of virtual currencies (ICOs) So, if you do any business in the field of crypto and blockchain, you can think about these countries as jurisdictions for doing business. TRON and HTX are already actively doing this - they have created a special service in Dominica. It allows HTX users to remotely issue a digital identity card through the Dominica DID (decentralized identity program). Taxation By the way, I would like to elaborate on such an issue as taxation in these countries - tax rates are lower than in most EU countries and there are no taxes on investments and dividends from foreign sources. For instance, Antigua has abolished income tax in 2016, but employees of local companies and self-employed continue to pay social payments at the rate of 15%. In general, residency in any Eastern Caribbean country can seriously reduce the tax burden, especially for people receiving capital income or dividends. Based on my research, most of these countries have no capital gain tax, at least for overseas income. However, it is better to understand the details of each jurisdiction with local accountant. Visas and residence permits If you are not interested in citizenship, but would like to live in the Eastern Caribbean for a while - for example, working remotely - then 4 of these countries have the following options: Live It Program in St. Lucia Digital Nomad Visa in Antigua Grenada Digital Nomad Visa Work in Nature Program in Dominica In addition, it is possible to come to these countries without a visa for 90 days as a tourist. Conclusion By the way, I’d like to call four key benefits that you can get moving to Carribean: Good climate and life quality Presence of crypto regulation Attractive immigration programs Relatively low tax burden

The labor that goes into each post on a tech company’s main blog is worth thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars - companies work with HackerNoon to get those technology blog posts more readers. In terms of writing contests, companies award the authors of the best stores on a tag ( ), pay HackerNoon to run the contest, and ultimately, more technology content enters our library to serve the readers. The intention is to create discussion about a niche technology topic. ad placements by content relevancy programming data science business blogging writing contests MinIO Ockam Blockchain Oracle Summit BrightData like how Aptible awarded $18k to best #DevOps stories 3. As AI continues to evolve, how do you see it transforming the landscape of digital publishing, especially in terms of content creation and distribution? AI’s a massive wrench into productivity and authenticity. Every current job relying on a keyboard or a phone has/will have an AI assistant, and an AI will be on deck with you in whatever UX replaces the keyboard or the phone next. On the positive side, small capable teams can have greater extensions of themselves and their work. AI and AI agents can move portions of projects forward. For example, we introduced , and had to assign every story in our 100k+ library to one category. 100k human decisions would have taken a while, but a chatgpt spreadsheet plugin was able to assign each story a technology category very easily. On the negative side, there is spamflation everywhere. Why must the builders of our generation rush to make AI tools to spam instead of AI tools to assist? In 2022, one contributing writer, , made the case that . There is just so, so much content being generated by AI. It’s human-like, but it’s not human. Which brings me to authenticity. Who authored the content will become more important in the future as it indicates trust in a uniquely human way. technology categories Jeremy Hillpot 99.99% of all content would be AI-created by 2025 4. In your experience, what are the most effective strategies for managing and growing a small team of editors, developers, and startup individuals to produce high-quality technology content? We’re still small enough that everyone’s an individual contributor first, even the C-suite and board, which are both just me and . When you’re under 20 people, everyone has to carry their own weight. When it comes to managing a small remote team, reducing meetings is a good start. Editorial, sales, and product, each only have one internal meeting a week. This provides time to do the actual work and makes the meetings we do have will carry more importance. We do highly encourage one-off, project-focused, short meetings. Weekly product meetings are the longest and loaded with demos, recaps, and debates. But it connects the group, and designers have a full view into what developers are doing and vice versa. Staff happiness and sense of purpose, or lack thereof, will show in the little actions with our community. I work to create a company where a small team of elite contributors can thrive. Linh Dao Smooke 5. Could you discuss the development process of HackerNoon’s content management system and what makes it uniquely suited for technology professionals? At , we’ve built a lot of systems to create, edit, and distribute content at scale. Technologists spend a lot of their day on the keyboard (like I am now) and understand that documenting their journey and professional expertise will lead to more long-term success. Our CMS helps you create content with help from , , and . The CMS also integrates with our email and social media distribution engines, and for good measure. We live between social media where anyone can post and traditional media where staff content production drives content creation and consumption. There is a vibrant community of millions of technologists on HackerNoon. Plus, our CMS is built to seamlessly port content around the web. For example, with the HackerNoon CMS, we’ll be launching AI-specific publications in 2024, such as , , and more. HackerNoon templates AI a human editorial review backups up all content on the blockchain FewShot.Tech TextModels.Tech 6. How has HackerNoon leveraged AI to enhance its platform? and what lessons have you learned about AI's role in spam creation and prevention? HackerNoon uses AI and machine learning to improve grammar, , , and . Maybe Clippy was ahead of its time? Writers have and will continue to have smart AI assistants. AI can not and should not replace the writer, but it should and can assist the writer and editor throughout the publishing process. We are documenting our approach to editorial at . With the rise of LLMs, we’ve seen an influx of AI story spam submissions. Other blogging platforms are hosting so much of these types of machine generated stories right now. We are actively taking steps to not become a wasteland of AI’s musings. Because every story is reviewed before publication (with about half being rejected), I think our average story quality is higher than other blogging platforms. Every story submission automatically enters into plagiarism and AI writing detection. We highlight what sections are likely, possibly, and unlikely to be written by AI. It’s all about confidence levels. Ultimately, human editors make the final call in interpreting the machines’ reports. translate stories generate featured images suggest possible headlines EditingProtocol.com 7. Given your expertise in product management and editing, how do you balance innovation with user experience when introducing new features or updates to your platform? The core has to work for any new feature to matter. Our core is the blog post. We work to publish better blog posts and build for what comes before and what comes after the blog post. New functionalities cannot come at the expense of a delightful reading experience and a smooth publishing experience. It’s got to load quickly and the relevant ads have to surface at the right place for customers. There’s always more projects that could be done to improve the core. We also have been using more API driven journalism in order to gain more traffic. What I mean by that is aggregating relevant data and business information so that we can build pages that cover , , and . By connecting stories around the web to relevant companies, technologies and currencies, we can make HackerNoon a stronger destination for technology education and discovery. In terms of what to build next, we’ve built a simple product management system within Notion, where we detail product cards, weighing which user it would benefit, the expected input/output of the project, and then generally contributors choose their own projects. tech companies technologies currencies 8. As a leader, how do you foster a culture of creativity and innovation within your team, and what practices have you found most effective in motivating and inspiring your staff? The simplest way is to lead by example. I’m contributing to projects more than managing projects. The people who make this business happen are good people. If I want people to blog with HackerNoon, I need to blog with HackerNoon. almost 300 technology stories and this year, my goal is a post a week. Our staff is remote and around the world, we have people in Munich, Goa, Florida, Hanoi, Buenos Aires, Bangkok, Michigan, Lahore, Lagos, and of course where I live in Colorado. It’s a lot of different cultures. And a lot of different ideas. Everyone on the team started by applying via our , so one thing that unites us is reading and using HackerNoon before joining HackerNoon. Everyone also has stock in the company, that helps with buy-in and enthusiasm. We agree on metrics we want to move, but we might not agree on how to get there. It generally works best when contributors choose their own paths. I’ve published careers page 9. With your insights into the future of work and career advice, what guidance would you offer to professionals aiming to break into the rapidly changing tech industry? Make things! Apps, models, prototypes, blueprints, communities, whatever - just start making. Your first technology thing probably won’t be your best or your future, but if you make more things in tech they become less like just technology things and more like just essential everyday things.  In terms of breaking in, it’s a tough market in technology/media right now with mass layoffs & unpredictable demands. Having your own functioning project, app, site, academic paper, or even just a blog can set you apart from other candidates. I recommend looking to apply at companies that make technologies or products that you use and respect. Write short and simple cold emails that explain why you’d like to work together.  Take a step back and look at our daily lives - and what you think our daily lives might be in ten years - technology isn’t going anywhere. It’s becoming more ingrained. Closer to our eyes. I’d also add that getting into tech doesn’t necessarily mean staying in tech forever, but better understanding technology will help however your career grows. 10. How do you envision the role of digital publishers like HackerNoon in shaping public discourse and understanding of complex topics like cryptocurrency, AI, and blockchain technology? We normalize it. I learned about Bitcoin from a HackerNoon story submission. . The technology’s finally caught up; let’s talk about it. I learn a lot by reading what contributors think could be next. As many people on HackerNoon are publishing about what they’re building, we usually learn about newer technologies before they reach more mainstream learning destinations. is a great blogging example for how the people making the next internet are documenting and teaching others along the way. That author, , kept writing that . Meanwhile, we kept integrating our tech stack with more Web3 technologies. Fun Easter egg, you can read . Publishing platforms are still learning how to detail where and how and when AI contributed. We add an “ on all stories where AI assisted the writer. At Meta, I see they’re implementing a , I’ll be monitoring how that goes. Publishers should provide transparency to the reader when it comes to AI content creation. Hopefully, the internet can reach reasonable standards for accrediting AI.

Finally, can you share a personal story or moment from your journey with HackerNoon that has been particularly meaningful or impactful to you? Well, it’s been a long road! Hard to pick just one. Recently, meeting Pham Minh Chinh, the Prime Minister of Vietnam, stands out. He invited . Was cool to see up close how a head of state walks, talks and listens to pitches about how the country could become a bigger player in the technology industry. Another one that comes to mind is when we launched with our own CMS, it was janky, it was pixelated, and it mostly worked but didn’t work in all the right spots. It was ours and it was beautiful.
