The GAFAM Empire

GAFAM Empire is a project in which we look at all the known acquisitions conducted by five big tech companies: Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, and Microsoft, from the moment they made their first one to the end of summer of 2022, when we stopped collecting data.

gafam.theglassroom.org

An analysis of the acquisitions by the 5 big tech: Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple & Microsoft, reveals their core interests & how they expanded from them in time.



In the Gaming cluster we find three main groups of companies that GAFAM acquired: Gaming Studios, Cloud Computing technologies and Augmented/Virtual Reality.

Gaming Studios are a way for GAFAM to acquire talent to produce interactive content for the next generation platforms they are developing (or have developed in the past). Gaming Studios operate either on the traditional console market, or on the newer mobile market

Cloud Computing is related to the infrastructures needed to serve online games to the public, as well as sedimenting the current interest in streaming gaming content following the success of the Entertainment & Streaming sector.

Finally, with the introduction of the concept of the metaverse, and the previous interest in Virtual Reality, many companies focused on this particular technology emerge. Virtual Reality started with interactive content and gaming in general, but GAFAM are repositioning this technology as more than a recreational activity: they expect it to become the main interface used in the future.


At a first glance, Microsoft, Apple and Amazon highlight the most differences between one another. Microsoft shows a big interest in Gaming for its big foray into the industry with the Xbox, while Apple has the biggest interest in Hardware technologies, as well as a big clump of companies that operate in the Education sector. Google and Facebook, instead, albeit at different scales, share more similarities than not: they both invested considerably into the Social Media space, while making some dips into Hardware with many acquisitions.

Riddle solved: Why was Roman concrete so durable?

Researchers have discovered ancient Roman concrete-manufacturing strategies that incorporated self-healing. Applying this knowledge toward modern cement production, they hope to improve the material’s environmental impact.

news.mit.edu

“It’s exciting to think about how these more durable concrete formulations could expand not only the service life of these materials, but also how it could improve the durability of 3D-printed concrete formulations,”


Through the extended functional lifespan and the development of lighter-weight concrete forms, he hopes that these efforts could help reduce the environmental impact of cement production, which currently accounts for about 8 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Along with other new formulations, such as concrete that can actually absorb carbon dioxide from the air, another current research focus of the Masic lab, these improvements could help to reduce concrete’s global climate impact.


The research team included Janille Maragh at MIT, Paolo Sabatini at DMAT in Italy, Michel Di Tommaso at the Instituto Meccanica dei Materiali in Switzerland, and James Weaver at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University. The work was carried out with the assistance of the Archeological Museum of Priverno in Italy.

Μια άλλη περίπτωση αρχαίας τεχνολογίας που αναλύθηκε αναπαράχθηκε μόλις πριν λίγες δεκαετίες (70ς) και επιπλέον χρησιμοποιείται σήμερα σε πυρηνικούς αντιδραστήρες (!) είναι η σούπερ τέλεια αρχαία ελληνική στεγανοποίηση. Βέβαια παρά τις εκπληκτικές ιδιότητες υπάρχει μια λεπτομέρεια που οι αρχαίοι δεν υπολόγισαν καλά, δεν θες να χρησιμοποιείς μόλυβδο (αυτό είναι πρόβλημα για κοινές χρήσεις αλλά για πυρηνικό αντιδραστήρα προφανώς δεν είναι πρόβλημα)

Κάτι τέτοια βλέπω και θεωρω ότι ο Hancock και ορισμένοι άλλοι ανεξάρτητοι ερευνητές, δεν είναι τελείως λάθος. Υπάρχουν εξαιρετικές ιδέες εκεί έξω αλλά οι ακαδημαϊκοί παραειναι δυσκοιλιοι και λομπιστες.

Προσοχή ε, δεν εξισωνω την μελέτη του παραπάνω με αυτή λχ του Χάνκοκ ο οποίος θέλει να πουλήσει και κάνα βιβλίο, αλλά διαβάζοντας τόσα χρόνια για ιστορίες, θρησκείες και κουλτούρες έχω αρχίσει να διαφωνώ σε πολλά όσον αφορά τους αρχαιολόγους και τους ιστορικούς και θεωρώ πως αυτη η άρνησή τους για τις αιρετικές απόψεις όσον αφορά τα πρώτα πολιτισμικά βήματα της ανθρωπότητας θα τους γυρίσει μπούμερανγκ. Σίγουρα η επιστημονική μέθοδος είναι ακλόνητη, αλλά από την άλλη βλέπω και βιαστική άρνηση όσον αφορά θεωρίες για αυτές τις θολές ιστορικά, εποχές.

Κάτι Ινδουιστές, Ζοροαστρες και Αφρικανοί νομάδες με χιλιάδες χρόνια κουλτούρας στην πλάτη, χωρίς χειροπιαστές αποδείξεις θεωρώ ότι θα δικαιωθούν για πολλά στο μέλλον.

Data as Political Influence

Vast amounts of personal data gives political actors necessary information to create unseen political influence

influenceindustry.org

Απλό κομμάτι από μια ενδιαφέρουσα παρουσίαση, από το Influence industry project, για τις μεθόδους επιρροής των πολιτών μέσω data manipulation.



Ποιοί είναι:

The Influence Industry Project supports civil society to respond to the influence industry through three areas of work. Firstly, we share research and case studies detailing how political influence takes place worldwide. Secondly, through our learning hub and workshops, we provide a guided tour of research, frameworks and skills to build the capacity of professionals monitoring, regulating or otherwise working on political influence. Finally, we support the engagement of concerned citizens by developing resources on digital and political literacy. All of our published research, audio and visual materials, and commentary are also available on the resources page.

Researchers studied nine years of data from more than 150,000 obese and morbidly obese adults to see how many of them were able to regain normal weight. That’s a huge study, over a time period that allows for lots of potential variables. The result? Virtually no one managed to regain a normal weight, after almost 10 years.

The researchers analyzed records of people 20 years and older from the United Kingdom’s Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) from 2004 to 2014, they reported in the American Journal of Public Health. They looked at data for more than 76,000 obese men, and nearly 100,000 obese women. They excluded people who’d received bariatric surgery. To be included in the study, at least three BMI records had to be in the medical record from 2004 to 2014.

What the researchers found was that, during that nine-year time frame, only 1,283 men and 2,245 women attained normal body weight. Just 1 of every 210 men gained a normal weight, and 1 of every 124 women did so.

Diets didn’t help. Weight loss programs didn’t help. Constant exercise didn’t help. In short, nearly all of the obese adults didn’t regain normal weight, thereby assuring that they would likely trigger an epigenetic change for future generations.

==========================================


The researchers suggested that answers to the obesity epidemic may, in fact, lie outside the primary healthcare world. If normal weight reduction is rare, then solutions to the problem may lie in other areas (like popular advertising campaigns that sway people toward certain types of foods, for instance).

“In the absence of effective interventions targeted at the individual level, the greatest opportunity for tackling the current obesity epidemic may be found outside primary care,” they wrote. “Research to develop wider reaching public health policies is needed to prevent obesity at the population level.”
