“I will not betray you,” I whisper to you with all my honesty, staring at you with dog-like-faithful eyes. You stare back and wonder if I am real. Real honesty struck people as alien. You try to connect with my eyes to confirm — but there is a box with a lens between us — so there is no way to know. And so you give in…

Is it easier to — if you don’t actually know?

You can now buy UTK every which way thanks to Moonpay.

Visa, Mastercard credit cards, Apple Pay and many more.

Yay! 🎉

Moonpay is doing for digital currency ownership and acquisition exactly what Utrust is doing for payments. They’re making it easy, safe, seamless, and profitable. Now, they’re putting all of their magic at the service of our very own UTK.

With Moonpay, you can buy UTK tokens much in the same way you’d buy anything else online, using the same familiar steps. They take VISA, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and even bank transfers.

This is a two-way street we are very happy to find ourselves in. Not only will Utrust’s community of users now get a brilliant new way where to purchase their currencies, but our own UTK token will now get to integrate a brand new ecosystem.

Moonpay has over 100 startups already using their services (and this will grow), and UTK will now become part of that story as well.

“We have identified ease of access (or lack thereof) as a major issue for companies pushing adoption of these currencies. A lot of what we do is about removing obstacles to people using them. Moonpay have always felt like allies in this, so it’s great to make it official.” said Nuno Correia

We are thrilled to be building the future, and we are elated to welcome Moonpay.

If you want to join Utrust, and be a part of this revolution, you should do so now.
What is GAC?
By: Ivan Porta
Tags: Memory Improvement, Codingbootcamp, Coding, Software Development, Dotnet

The Global Assembly Cache (GAC) is a local cache maintained by the .NET Framework where strong-named assemblies (their name is composed by: name of assembly, version number, culture and public key token) that are designated to be shared by all the applications executed on a system will be stored.

The concept of GAC is the result of the .NET architecture which design solves the issue of DLL hell that existed in COM (Component Object Model).

What’s DLL Hell?

DLL Hell refers to a set of problems caused when multiple applications attempt to share a common dynamic link library (DLL). With COMs, when an application tried to install a DLL which was already stored in the registry, the system let prevail the latest version by overriding the oldest with the newest. Since DLLs doesn’t have any built-in mechanism for backwards comparability, this override caused the existing applications that rely on the shared DLL to crash. By strongly name each dynamic link library (.dll), the GAC solved this problem.

Examples

A scenario where DLL hell occurs is:

On your machine there is an application which use an assembly called SharedAssembly.dll I install a new application which install a new version of SharedAssembly.dll causing the replacement of the existing DLL The first application stop working properly due to the newer version of SharedAssembly.dll.

Figure 1: Example of DLL hell

GAC Tool (gacutil.exe)

The Global Assembly Cache tool is a tool automatically installed with Visual Studio which allows a developer to check for assembly existence, view and manipulate the contents of the global assembly cache.

To run the tool, open the Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio as Administrator and execute the command

gacutil

How Does the IRS Treat Stocks?

How Does the IRS Treat Stocks?

A quick assessment for the uninitiated

Taxes for stocks are straight-forward; that’s intentional, none of it is an accident.

They’ve created two words you’ve likely seen on a brokerage statement before:

Realized gains

Unrealized gains

Why are they called ‘unrealized’ gains? You haven’t actually made any money on it yet. The money you made is only real when the equity, or stock, is traded in for cash. When you sell your stock, whether it’s some or all of it, that becomes realized.

You only pay tax on profits you made on realized gains.

At the end of the year, all your realized gains and your realized losses are tallied up and you’ll either have a capital loss or a capital gain at the end of the year.

If you have a capital loss or made no money, you don’t need to worry about paying taxes (you might be able to write some stuff off depending on your circumstance). If you never sold your stock, you also don’t need to worry about paying taxes.

If you do have a capital gain, then you either have something called a short-term capital gain (stock you held for under a year) or a long-term capital gain (stock you held for over a year). These two capital gains are treated differently. As you can expect, the longer you hold your stock, the nicer the IRS is toward you.

Thresholds for capital gains (or income tax) in each marginal bracket for each filing status.

Basically, this is following the tax structure for your income. Here are a few examples of how you might use this chart (this is for long-term capital gains, follow the same pattern for short-term capital gains):

Your filing status is single. You made a $40,000 capital gain (long-term) on your stock sale. At the end of the year, you owe the federal government no money.

Your filing status is single. You had a job that paid you $40,000 in income. You also made a $40,000 capital gain (long-term) on your stock sale. At the end of the year, you have to pay 15% of $40,000 to the federal government. Here your capital gain is acting as an extension of your income. Because of that, it is tacked on to the next bracket.

Your filing status is single. You had a job that paid you $30,000 in income. You also made a $40,000 capital gain (long-term) on your stock sale. At the end of the year, you have to pay 15% of $30,000 to the federal government. Notice where you don’t pay anything on the first $10,000 you made on your capital gain. This is because you had room left in that marginal bracket because your income was lower that year. The portion you did have to pay for was the remaining $30,000.

This is obviously excluding the regular taxes you pay (or don’t have to pay depending on your payroll structure) on your own income you get from working. It’s just to demonstrate how capital gain and income are viewed by the government so that you can better understand when you might want to sell your stock (like, in a year where you aren’t making any or much money).
How to Turn on Spell Check in Sublime Text

Recently, I was writing some some HTML using Sublime Text for an article that I was writing. The tag completion and tab spacing were the features I really wanted (I’ve done it free-typing before, and it’s just way too manual and error-prone), but I was missing out on a key feature and didn’t it realize it until later: spell check.

As I was working on the HTML, I was also adding and editing some lines to my page here and there, and unfortunately, I made a typo.

Now, the backstory as to how I got there isn’t too important, but the experience made me realize I really wanted spell check in my Sublime Text. Since I do a lot of web development in general, I would want another check beyond my own eyes to make sure any typos don’t make it out to user-facing pages.

How to turn spell check on

In Sublime Text, go to Preferences > Settings.

A new window will open:

On the left-hand side are the default Sublime Text settings all in one JSON file. On the right-hand side, you can override any setting in the default file simply by choosing a different value for the key.

Let’s ctrl+f (Windows) or cmd+f (Mac) for spell_check . If you just type up to spell , actually, it’ll find the correct key.

Now, on the right-hand side, simply set spell_check to true like so:

Now, when you have something misspelled in Sublime Text, there will be a jagged red line underneath the word:
Highlights from the 72nd Emmy Nominations

“Schitt’s Creek” (CBC/PopTV), “Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” (Amazon), Emmys 2020 logo (ABC/ATAS)

This morning at 8:30am PST, a chaotic, socially distanced Emmy nominations announcement streamed live.

A predictably off-the-wall Leslie Jones (Saturday Night Live) led an unlikely quintet that also included Television Academy President Frank Scherma, Orange is the New Black star LaVerne Cox, Frozen star Josh Gad, and Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany in announcing the nominations in the top categories.

Given an all-time high number of eligible series and performers, some recent rule changes, and the completely unprecedented landscape of campaigning and holding awards shows in the COVID-19 pandemic era, this morning was bound to have some surprises.

And there certainly were some surprise inclusions (What We Do in the Shadows for Outstanding Comedy Series, The Mandalorian for Outstanding Drama Series, and Steve Carell and Zendaya for Lead Acting in a drama were particularly surprising to me) and countless puzzling omissions (with Bob Odenkirk, Elisabeth Moss, Nicole Kidman, and Meritt Wever being among the most glaring).

But ultimately, it played out largely as I expected. Schitt’s Creek and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel dominated the comedy categories, Ozark and Succession dominated the drama categories, and Watchmen and Mrs. America dominated the limited series categories.

Below I highlight some of the most important trends and themes of this year’s Emmy nominations. Given the gigantic number of categories, I have certainly missed a few interesting tidbits and I opted not to list out all of the major nominations. (I recommend finding the nominations right here on the Emmys website, where there are tons of different options to sort through them.)

Make sure to come back in September when I will take a deep dive into who will and should win and review what is certainly going to be one strange Emmys telecast, as the Television Academy embarks into the strange new world of pandemic awards show.

A New Way of Crowdfunding through the Elysian Platform
By: Sarah Tan
Tags: Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, Elysian, Crowdfunding, Ely

Elysian is a new ecommerce platform that is based on blockchain technology. It uses blockchain technology to store and protect customer data and transactions, providing greater security to consumers. On top of that, the cryptocurrency used on Elysian, called ELYCOIN, is used to facilitate transactions of goods and services from merchants on the Elysian platform. Services purchased by these merchants on the platform are also fuelled by ELYCOINs. Along with the ecommerce platform, Elysian is set to introduce an exciting feature called the Elysian forum. Similar to other crowdfunding methods like Kickstarter and Indiegogo, the forum is able to help raise funds for community-led projects that improve the Elysian ecosystem.

One of these sources of funds is from the Elysian growth pool. A percentage of the ELYCOIN tokens are allocated to this pool and its purpose to provide extra utility for ELYCOIN tokens. It fulfills this purpose by helping to generate community growth through the Elysian forum.

When members of the Elysian community come up with innovative ideas to improve the platform, they can pay a small application fee to list their ideas on the forum. Funding for their ideas can either come from their own pockets or taken from the Elysian growth pool. With this avenue of funding, it is now much easier for community members to fund great ideas and improve the ecosystem for all users.

Community members have the ability to vote on projects to decide which projects should receive funding. Projects have to garner 51% or more of the votes and meet responsible voting requirements in order to receive funding. Projects that are not accepted will be required to refund the tokens contributed to them. The funds gathered from collecting application fees will be utilised to hire full-time support and to develop and expand the Elysian forum.

In the end, by getting feedback from the community, it ensures that only the best ideas that can improve Elysian and its community will be accepted. The forum can also help to build strong bonds and relations between fellow community members, thereby greatly increasing the overall strength of the Elysian community. This means that users of Elysian, such as consumers and merchants, can expect to see massive improvements in the platform’s features as time goes by. Isn’t that great!

The Night My Grandpa Went to War

The Night My Grandpa Went to War

He was fighting against a small but tenacious enemy.

Photo by Jen Theodore on Unsplash

I’ll never forget the night my Grandpa went to war.

Grandpa was a little too young when World War I started, and too old when World War II came along, so he never got to fight the Germans. No, his enemy was far more nefarious: the crickets.

My grandparents moved to Florida when I was about seven, but every summer they would return to Chicago to visit family, rotating from house to house so that no group of relatives felt slighted. We had just moved into the suburbs and it was our family’s turn to host. My parents were proud of our new suburban ranch home, surrounded by bushes and far away from the noise and pollution of the inner city.

Upon arrival, my grandparents settled in my mom and dad’s room. My parents moved temporarily into what we called “the back bedroom” and my two sisters and I crammed into the third bedroom, which shared a wall with the room my grandparents were staying in.

Since it was summer and it was already pretty hot during the daytime, we had all the windows open at night to cool the house down. At that time our suburban neighborhood was safe enough to do things like leave the windows open all night.

The first night I could hear angry grumbling from my grandparents’ room next door. I pressed my ear against the plaster wall separating the rooms — I was always a nosy child — but could not hear what was going on.

At breakfast we learned what the hubbub was about. “Those damn crickets!” my grandfather exclaimed. “They are way too loud. How do you sleep with all that racket?”

My parents looked at each other in confusion. My Grandma, ever helpful, joked, “You looked like you were sleeping fine when I got up to go to the bathroom.”

The conversation moved on. The second night I woke up to more grumbling in the room next door, and the next morning our breakfast once again centered on how loud the crickets were and their negative impact on Grandpa’s sleep.

“Maybe you should close the window Dad,” my father suggested pragmatically.

“It’s too hot to sleep with the windows closed,” Grandpa said grumpily. He was normally mild-mannered, but the lack of sleep was making him cranky.

The third night Grandpa had had enough. That was the night my Grandpa went to war with the crickets.
Instead Of…

Tags: General Information, Spring

Last week I wrote about the spring tradition of decluttering our living spaces. One of my reader fans, told me that I should research and write about reusing things instead of just getting rid of everything. “Ok, I admit it. It is my daughter’s suggestion.”

I began to research and the ideas are endless. One of the site’s I visited gave ideas about what to do with empty CD/DVD containers, dryer sheets, corks from wine bottles, and plastic water bottles. Check it out!

I have been reusing the empty salad light-plastic boxes and the lids. The small ones are great for organizing fabric scraps and yarn. Crayons, colored chalk, pens and pencils can be categorized and placed in separate plastic boxes. Take the picture of the finished project from the original box of puzzles, tape it to the side that is visible and place the puzzle pieces inside. Then they won’t get lost. Apply the same idea to small building toys such as blocks, Legos, and other sets. The clear plastic allows visibility from the outside, and they stack evenly to save space. The large plastic ones are good for shoes. I use them for dressy shoes that I rarely wear. I can see which pair is in each box as they remain stacked on top of each other. Not only does my closet seem less cluttered and more organized but I am reusing something that could be filling a landfill.

So instead of tossing common food containers and creating more waste, try and imagine other ways to use them! I would love to hear your suggestions!

Properties

The description of the reduct function is like this:

arr.reduce(callback(accumulator, ActualValue[, index[, array]])[, initialValue])

At first sight it seems a little bit confusig declaration. ¿What is this callback? ¿And the Accumulator? Let’s see:

Callback

The function to execute on each element in the array. This is the function that you can create for whatever you want to do with the array.

Accumulator

This value accumulates all of the callbacks returned values. It means that in every interaction of the loop you have to return the accumulation value.

ActualValue

It is the current value being processed. It is every element of the array in each interaction.

Index

It is the current index of the value being processed.

Array

It is the original array.

Initial Value

It is the initial value of the accumulator. If this value is not setted, this field get the value from the first element of the array, and the actual value start with the second element.

Okey, we have the properties but, ¿how can we use the method for optimize the code?

The Magic: Use cases

One of the most important feature of this functions is their flexibility. You can return whatever you want: boolean, string, number, array or even an object.

I will give an example: you are working with a two dimensional array of people which have the name and the age as values:

const people=[{name:John,age:52}, {name:Jack,age:25}, {name: Maggie,age:15}]

Well we want to extract an array of only names of who of this people can vote in the next elections. We can use functions like forEach and setting the values in another variable with a push, it will seem like this:

And in the case of reduce function is like this:

We can create more complex conditions to reduce function but the most important to keep in mind to always return de accumulator to the next iteration of the loop.
Priceline spends $4.3 billion on digital ads each year. It’s shifting to TV for the future.
By: Paul Dughi
Tags: Digital Marketing, Advertising, Television, Travel

Priceline is the travel industry’s largest digital advertiser. It’s built its company using TV and digital advertising, but the majority has been on digital. In 2017, it’s expected to spend $4.3 billion dollars on digital, according to Skift, an industry website that tracks spending within the travel category. The vast majority of digital spend (estimated at 70%) is going to Google.

But that’s about to change. Booking.com, owned by Priceline, is reducing its digital spend and moving to TV. The company says it is re-thinking PPC and moving to TV to attract more direct bookings. The company is planning a 55% increase in TV spending.

Priceline Group CEO Glenn Fogel says the investments in television advertising would build a foundation for the future.
How does a Bitcoin mining pool work?

How does a Bitcoin mining pool work?

Building passive income?

Since the start of 2017, it’s not uncommon to come across a headline or a post with the latest Bitcoin price update. With all the media coverage lately, the question on everyone’s mind seems to be whether or not investing in cryptocurrencies is profitable?

Disclaimer: This is by no means a form of financial advice. I am merely documenting my experience within the role I play in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

To put it simply, I mine Bitcoin. I have a mining machine that mines Bitcoin. Well actually, I don’t have the machine with me. More specifically, I bought a mining contract that pays me for 1000 days of mining.

I know it doesn’t make sense at first glance, but let me explain.

Buying your own miner vs joining a mining pool

Mining on your own is not as easy as just buying a mining rig and setting it up. The electricity to keep the mining machine running 24/7 will definitely have an impact on your electrical bill. Also, depending on the hardware inside the mining rig, some components may need to be upgraded in the near future in order to keep mining the same amount as when you initially started.

Without keeping your machine up to date, your monthly earnings this month, will not be as much in a few months down the line as the blockchain network is constantly growing and will continue to require more processing power to be maintained.

To overcome this problem, I joined a mining pool. With a mining pool, I own shares within a mining rig. With a mining share, I get 1000 days worth of mining. And if I wanted to, I can use some of the profits from my mining to buy new contracts for another 1000 or so days. That way, you could perpetually earn Bitcoin forever (until 21 million Bitcoins).

So I joined Bitclub Network (mining pool), who’s mining facility is in Iceland, where electricity is cheap and the temperatures keep the machines cool.
Answering 5 Questions About Strippers for Curious Minds
By: Erin Taylor
Tags: Sexuality, Sex, This Happened To Me, Feminism, Sex Work

4. Yes, strippers meet celebrities regularly.

Especially if you work in a classy, trendy place that caters to big celebs — meaning you keep a separate room reserved for them (and a roster of discrete dancer) for privacy. I’ve spent time with singers, rappers, actors, athletes, etc. during a big UFC event in Las Vegas, or after the Super Bowl in Arizona.

But there is a big difference between spending time with a celebrity, and actually having a celebrity spend money on you. Because, here’s a little secret that may not be so secret:

Many celebrities are cheap as f*ck. Cheaper than you can imagine.

I won’t name any names for my own protection, but I remember meeting the actor who played one of the best friends from a popular show about a quirky gal. Here I was, thinking I was going to have a great night with entertaining company, but this actor just wanted to finger my ass the entire time. And I mean, he was trying to get his entire finger up there. He was drunk, but that wasn’t an excuse. His circle of friends, who included a famous boyband-er and a lead singer of another band, all laughed along. I walked away with no money from any of them, and I was so embarrassed this had happened in front of other customers.

It was common to see celebs in a Las Vegas strip club who ordered bottles and bottles of expensive tequila and Champagne for show. But in my experience, they spent on the club, and the bartenders, but not so much on the strippers. They knew that the girls all wanted to spend time with them for free, so there wasn’t much incentive for them to pay for a girl’s company.

However, I’ve also been in a private room — not a one-on-one room, it was a party room for about 10 people, aside from the 8 dancers — with rappers were making so much cash rain on us that the floor of this room became a sea of money that you had to wade through to get from one side to the other. There was a famous comedian, a famous boxer, and a famous rapper, all having a blast and making sure the girls were well taken care of. And to think that I was planning on taking that night off!
Webdesign Good Practices
By: Tomás Antunes
Tags: Web Design

A website needs to be useful, relevant and well-designed. This can be accomplished with compelling layout design, balanced use of color, good organization, ease of use and functionality.

According to a recent study mobile usage in the US has surpassed the desktop, so a responsive design that adapts to mobile devices is important. A desktop homepage can serve many purposes, but in mobile the user should be able to get to the content easily. Remember to set the viewport and use CSS media queries for a flexible layout with appropriate breakpoints.

A call-to-action is an image or line of text, usually a button that prompts visitors to take a certain action. For an effective click-rate have a clear value proposition and destination page aligned with it’s promise.

Good performance can contribute to make a fluid experience. To ensure the best page speed you can optimize the critical rendering path prioritizing the content related to the primary action of the user. You can also optimize images, eliminate unnecessary downloads, use HTTP cache and change encoding.

Navigation needs to be clearly labeled and adapted to smaller screens. It should be accompanied by sitemaps and breadcrumbs.

Color schemes should be used consistently and limited to a maximum of 3 colors. Text and background should have sufficient contrast.

Building a small CLI to set up s3

For the seek of reproducibility, we will write a simple CLI with Typer which is built on top of Click. If you are not familiar with CLI I’ve made a post that covers some basic concepts to create a CLI.

Let’s see the code to build the CLI.

CLI code to interact with s3 source: author

The first two commands allow us to create and delete an s3 Bucket. It’s important to note that the bucket is created with versioning. Versioning gives us the possibility to upload different versions of the same model and then update the worker to serve the version of our choice.

Thanks to the third command we will be able to upload our model to the newly created bucket. Finally, the last command is designed to list all the files in the bucket with the id version in order to update the worker.

Finally, the last command will allow us to update the version id of the model served by the API.

Now, let’s add the CLI to our poetry scripts, open the pyproject.toml file, and add at the bottom of it the following lines:

[tool.poetry.scripts]

cli = "<package_name>.app:app"

Then test if everything is working with poetry run cli you should something like :

Usage: cli [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]... Options:

--install-completion [bash|zsh|fish|powershell|pwsh]

Install completion for the specified shell.

--show-completion [bash|zsh|fish|powershell|pwsh]

Show completion for the specified shell, to

copy it or customize the installation. --help Show this message and exit. Commands:

create-bucket

delete-bucket

list-objects

upload

update-lambda

Finally, let’s use the CLI to create our bucket, upload our model, and get the version id of it. To achieve it type the following commands:

poetry run cli create-bucket <bucket-name-to-be-created> poetry run cli upload <bucket-name> <path_to_your_model> --tag 1.0 poetry run cli list-objects <bucket-name> which should print something like the following output:

Key: <your_model>.pickle

VersionId: 11j3aXER32C7exuanDNKvOea0FxJwXg

IsLatest: True

LastModified: 2020-09-11 09:38:46+00:00

Tag: [{'Key': 'Version', 'Value': '1.0'}]

Now that our model is store on s3, we need to define a class that maps our data schema.

The Importance and Benefits of Using Android App Bundles
By: Satya Pavan Kantamani
Tags: Android App Development, AndroidDev, Android Apps, Android, Programming

How Does Dynamic Delivery Work?

For those who use APK format for publishing, Google Play takes the APK files, does nothing in terms of optimization, and distributes them directly to users.

In the case of app bundles, Google Play splits the bundle into a number of smaller APK’s known as Split APK’s based on various aspects.

The part of the app which is always downloaded is packed in a split APK called Base APK which consists of shared code. While using app bundles, Play automatically makes split APK’s for resources, assets, and native libraries. These resource-specific APK’s are called configuration APK’s.

We can better understand how Google Play serves different APK’s to different users based on their system and region if we look at a simple example.

Consider a user with the following traits: a Pixel 2XL mobile with the English language, density corresponding to xxxhdpi, and an arm64 processor. With dynamic delivery, if this user installs the app then dynamic delivery will find the split APK’s that user needs, as shown:

This is how dynamic delivery helps to deliver the optimized APKs based on user specifications. The introduction of dynamic delivery and app bundles helps us to serve smaller apps.

I noticed a spike in the trend numbers for each person based on how prevalent they were in the news at that time. For example, when Khloe’s current boyfriend cheated on her with Kylie’s best friend, both of their numbers became higher. Anytime one of them launches a makeup or clothing collection their numbers rises. Anytime they attend widely known events, for example the Met Gala, their numbers rise.

Part 2

The charts and graphs help give us a visual representation of what it actually looks like. It’s easier to view information visually rather than verbally. These charts shows the same kind of score with a different range of numbers.

It hung on the classroom bulletin board.

My poem about litter was not as strong.

Less emotionally honest and trite.

I’ve been a poet since I was two.

My first poem went like this:

Ball

Moon

I recited it every chance I got.

I was a poet in my mother’s womb,

tumbling around, eyes wide open,

everything red, then black, then red.

I was intricate. I was luminous.

I was a much better poet all those years

before my incarnation. Out there

spinning with the spheres,

singing our songs, shining our light.

Our light took centuries to reach earth.

By then, no one could translate.

Scientists had decided on binary code

instead of a more complex language.

Spaceships to Saturn, made possible

by the speed of their calculations.

God was impressed with our systems:

time, space, architecture, the silicon chip.

But our poetry, God thought, suffered.

In Love We Have Our Being

Poems From The Porch

The buzzards are congregating along the shoreline this morning, and the waves are choppy.

Steadily moving clouds obscure all but a fiery, red glow along the horizon.

The waterfowl are swimming by in small groups, hopeful for a scrap from the breakfast table.

Now the sun emerges as a hazy brightness, no longer red.

The lake is lapping and lulling, and overhead a migration of birds calls out, “Good morning!”

I am suddenly awake to the perfusion and pervasiveness of water, a seemingly unlimited amount of droplets manifesting in various forms without borders to delineate where one ends and another begins.

Earth, oceans, lakes, ponds, ice, rain, sleet, snow, clouds, the damp air embracing me, my own body

It is impossible to separate the droplets one from another.

Upon closer examination beneath, beneath, still further beneath, it is impossible to separate me from you.

It makes me wonder, “Are we not the body of God?”

Here’s How Technology Connects Us
By: Zulie Rane
Tags: Relationships, Technology, Social Media, Life Lessons, Communication

I live overseas from my family. Google Maps tells me I am 4,101 miles away from them. That is a long old way from a hug from my parents, a walk with my dog, or a coffee with my friends.

One of my best friends from high school, who I’m still in touch with, lives in Seattle. That’s even farther, especially counting the eight hours of time difference between us.

My friends from college all scattered across the country, and one is even in Australia at the moment.

The other day I read an article about how technology these days is turning us into antisocial beings who prefer to send emojis or memes rather than getting together or sending physical letters.

That point of view does make some sense to me. After all, the convenience of texting or just “keeping up” via Facebook updates far surpasses actually getting together or having a phone call. It’s frustrating when you want to see someone in person but they can’t be bothered to do more than just text.

But as the world grows bigger and we spread further, technology is what keeps the world small.
The ICONOMI Digest

Welcome to the second edition of the ICONOMI Digest, a continuation of our Weekly Update series published on a biweekly basis. This edition covers the period since Monthly Update VII, published on July 27, during which we published our Q2 financial report, launched a new DAA, and more.

ICONOMI Financial Report — Q2 2018

We published our Q2 quarterly financial report on July 30.

We achieved three major milestones in Q2: by implementing the first stage of the fiat gateway, we opened the doors to new users, especially those with less experience with digital assets; with the addition of the first stablecoin, we created an option for DAA managers to hedge during bear markets; and with the proof of solvency, we demonstrated our dedication to transparency and set a new standard for the blockchain industry.

Read the full report here.

One-Year Platform Anniversary

On August 1, we celebrated the one-year anniversary of the ICONOMI platform. Check our website for a visual overview of our progress over the past year.

Nobel Prize Winner Joins Blockchain Startup To Fix Smart Contracts, by Michael del Castillo, Forbes

“As with many of Hart’s Nobel laureate contemporaries, his work tends to skew to the esoteric. But at the core of the research is a single principle: Instead of contract authors trying to write all possible contingencies into an agreement, they should struggle to find a common view of the world prior to doing business together.”

Nondisclosure

A Poem

Photo by Jr Korpa on Unsplash

You can’t say things like that

can’t whisper at the world

and take your silver back home

You give up yourself

you give in to the rage and ease

of leaving

You’ve left your mark

on so many trees

just as they were reaching out

for you

An injured arm, fractured leg

the story goes aching on

the mouth condemned to forming

syllables of pure sound

Hammered into your hearth

you pick up the pieces

of the book you were starting in on

But the book told you

to shut up

which you never did, didn’t know till

too late

All these revelations

these candy-coated packages of disguised

scorn

and the terror of what comes next

hangs around your neck
The Mask of Mine
Tags: Funny, Time Travel, Humor, Masks, Poetry

My first few dates

ends up in failure

Until I realize the cause.

When asked of my

uncommon facial features

I tell a story written here below.

With my machine, I traveled to the future

to be precise

into the year of twenty-twenty.

No flying vehicle, nor city floating

As told in sci-fi books,

or wild imaginations.

But something different has caught attention!

As soon as opening

The door of my machine.

There was invasion, fashion

or a smelly breath

That made all people wear these facial masks.

I smelled no odor,

There was no sight

that gave me understanding why.

Before anxiety of wondering has reached

the prime top peak,

I stopped one gentleman and asked him.

He looked at me as if I’m fallen from the sky

and murmured, muffled something.

He did not leave my knowledge satisfied.

From then on I was walking in the street

Until I found it written

Covid19!

What was this code,

I had no understanding.

But sure it sounded like the name of cyborg.

Some people mentioned

And blamed on China,

So I am sure the cyborg comes from them.

Before the danger

Knocked on case of mine

I rushed to get a mask.

The reason why my nose got flat

And the ears lean forward

Because my mask was way too tight.
His response to Beyonce and TLC tells you what he thinks of women
By: Shamontiel L. Vaughn
Tags: Feminism, Chauvinism, Fatherhood, Beyonce, Black Men

Once again, this was a particularly curious stance (all three women clearly celebrate sexual freedom — even if it took me some time to get around to enjoying “WAP”). I recalled another man I dated, who was far more amped than me about the “On the Run Tour.” I’d never seen Beyonce live, and he invited me to go with him and his daughter. (We never made it there for totally unrelated reasons, but still, I was impressed that he knew the lyrics to so many Beyonce songs and even did the “Put a Ring On It” hand move.) He was yet another “girl dad.”

So I’m left wondering, “What is up with fathers of daughters that makes them more liberated and more supportive of feminism than those without?” We all have mothers, so it’s not like non-sexual relationships with women are missing from their lives. The anti-Beyonce men mentioned are the fathers of boys or not fathers yet. I’ve even seen my own father bob his head and enjoy a performance or two from Beyonce — although I quickly reminded him she was my age when I caught him looking at the screen a little too long. He threw his head back laughing and said, “Caught me.” Still though, he knew the song.

Looks aside, in every single instance when I’ve met men who enjoy women like TLC, Beyonce and the like who live in their independence, their behavior around women is night and day from those who don’t. Is there something about fatherhood that makes men look at independent women (married or not) differently? Even when I think of other men in my social circle (Generation X and younger) who are not “girl dads,” I’ve noticed a pattern of shrugging off female emcees and singers but loudly reciting some of the most disrespectful, condescending and vulgar lyrics about women at the tops of their lungs.

In regard to initial inspiration for the “girl dad” nickname, during the homage to Kobe Bryant and Gianna Bryant, there were floods of comments about the Lakers championship basketball player and his daughter, along with their father-daughter closeness. Kobe Bryant was also in the “Bug-A-Boo” video, rapped on “Say My Name (Remix),” and a friend of her and Kelly Rowland. So it was no surprise to me that he was also a fan of Destiny’s Child.

While I can’t go as far as saying that I believe all men who don’t like Beyonce or TLC are chauvinistic and tend to roll their eyes at feminism, listening to their views on these two artists/groups has yet to prove me wrong. If you ever want to test my theory, play one of their songs. If he’s instantly disgusted by the likes of them, chances are super high that he has gripes with feminism, equal rights and female empowerment/sexuality in general. And if you support any of the categories he’s criticizing, it’s a pretty good chance that he’s going to have an issue with you, too.
What is Neblio?
By: Meredith Davis
Tags: Cryptocurrency Investment, Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, Crypto, Cryptography

There are two interesting facets of Neblio: first, the function of the platform, and second, the function of the coin. As you can imagine, moving an enterprise business, which may employ thousands of people and have billions in assets, to blockchain technology is a monumental task. What if, say, PepsiCo decided to join the blockchain, moving all human resources records, all payroll, accounts payable, accounts receivable, all audit documentation, all compliance records, all production, inventory and supply chain management to a blockchain. It would be an incredible undertaking. Until Neblio, the process would be lengthy and expensive, requiring scarce, specialized coding knowledge. Here comes Neblio to the rescue, offering a suite of solutions intended to streamline the process of integrating blockchain tech in a simple, efficient manner. Using a suite of APIs (application program interfaces that facilitate the development of software applications), developers can use one of a variety of popular coding languages to interact with the Neblio blockchain in an intuitive manner.

The Neblio utility coin is called a NEBL. This part is also really cool. NEBL holders have the option to set their wallet to perform a function called “staking” — from the term Proof-of-Stake (PoS). When a wallet stakes, it is taking part in running the transaction verification process for all other transactions happening on the system. Users don’t have to do anything more technical beyond setting their wallet to stake. As a reward, each NEBL is essentially a raffle ticket, and every two minutes, a “winner” is chosen, their wallet runs a batch of verifications, and a reward is paid in sparkly fresh NEBL. There is no minimum amount required to stake, but the more NEBL you have, the more your potential prize. Estimated returns are around 10% per year, which is at the higher end compared to other staking models. There are specifications for how long NEBL coins have to remain idle in your wallet and how you have to have your wallet set, so be sure to brush up on those if you decide to stake.
