Topic 1: The FTX Contagion Has Affected VC / PE Firms that Invest In MSP Vendors https://www.channele2e.com/news/ftx-cryptocurrency-bankruptcy-filing/ In all the noise that's surrounding the collapse of FTX and the impact on other crypto companies, news is coming out that several major MSP investors have also suffered significant losses. Initial statements indicate that the losses were not enough to threaten the survival of the investment funds, but that there will be implications for how they make investment decisions in the future. Topic 2: Is It Goodnight To Alexa (and other voice assistants)? https://www.axios.com/newsletters/axios-login-a17bdd5b-e815-4499-bd18-08cbf2114c16.html?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter_axioslogin&stream=top Despite billions invested and many high hopes for a new computer interface, the products in the voice assistant category have dramatically underperformed the plans of their developers – both in terms of usage and commercial value. Is there a future for interactive voice assistants … or is this another in a long line of failed voice recognition innovations? Topic 3: Amazon Lays Off Recruiters … Could Be Planning to Replace Them With AI https://mashable.com/article/amazon-layoff-ai-tech https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-29/amazon-s-cloud-unit-expects-to-keep-expanding-hiring-in-2023 Following the announcement of the largest layoffs in Amazon's history, the company followed up with buyout offers to hundreds of recruiters, signaling the end of the season of accelerated hiring across Amazon. But yesterday at AWS Reinvent the company announced that it will continue to add staff in 2023 (specifically within the AWS division) as cloud sales continue to accelerate. So, who will do the recruiting? Turns out they are re-visiting the use of an AI recruiting system to do the work previously done by humans. Hmmmmm.

Цей день настав — вийшов 70-ий випуск Pi Tech Podcast. Незмінні ведучі Павло, Костянтин та Євген поговорили про другу спробу Telegram у крипту, збиткові проєкти Amazon, невмирущість читалок Kindle та щось, що Facebook врешті робить добре (бореться з клікбейтом, якщо що). Згадали й про Каньє Веста з Твіттером, але про таке або коротко, або ніяк. 00:27 — анонс випуску00:41 — Дуров буде розвивати свою криптоплатформу13:26 — Alexa не приносить грошей Amazon19:16 — у Kindle теж не все так радісно22:48 — що Facebook зробив добре
Las situaciones paranormales que Alexa a través del mundo las exponemos en éste programa, su risa macabra, su chiste en el que dice que va a acabar con la humanidad, el supuesto intento de ocultar que trabaja para CIA, por su configuración y componentes puede establecer comunicación paranormal? Quédate a descubrir sus místerios y festeja con nosotros nuestro tercer aniversario. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/confidenteen-la-oscuridad/message

La empresa Ibermática está desarrollando Nagusibot, un asistente virtual basado en Alexa (Amazon), orientado a las personas mayores. Este asistente de voz quiere incidir en la necesidad de facilitar determinada información a personas que viven solas o que son dependientes en cuanto a su autonomía y su capacidad funcional. Conversamos con Pedro de la Peña Tejada, Responsable Técnico de Programas de I+D de Ibermática, sobre los retos de Nagusibot centrados en la facilidad de su uso por parte de las personas mayores, la brecha tecnológica o la protección de los datos.
Se você é do time "E aí, Siri?", “Hi Alexa!” ou do "Ok, Google", não importa. Seja qual for a assistente de sua preferência, ela provavelmente terá uma voz de mulher. Pois com raríssimas exceções Siri (Apple), Google Assistente, Alexa (Amazon) e Cortana (Microsoft) vão responder aos seus pedidos e te servir com uma voz robotizada feminina. Seria isso uma grande coincidência? . Mas o fato de terem "nascido" mulher, ou carregarem por configuração de fábrica vozes femininas, está muito mais relacionado com o ponto de vista da igualdade de gênero do que nos atentamos. Por que esse tipo de tecnologia que veio facilitar nossas vidas é associado ao sexo feminino? E o que esse prometido futuro das assistentes virtuais tem a ver com o nosso passado? . No episódio de número 146 do Tricotando recebemos a Física e Pesquisadora Jey Carrillo, para conversar sobre essa estranha coincidência e quais são os impactos disso em nosso dia-a-dia e em nosso futuro! Chega mais com a sua linha e #BoraTricotar . E lembramos com muita felicidade que esse é o primeiro episódio da nossa participação na campanha #OpodcastÉDelas2021!

Hello and thank you for tuning into this episode whether it is your first time or if you are listening yet again. Thank you. While this list of 16 things is not all inclusive, it does highlight some of the realities of our business/working life and our personal lives. It’s all more blended than ever if you are still working and if you are not working right now – I am empathetic if you want to be working, but many in the list remains true! More Video! Business people are holding way more video meetings than before Coronavirus! Not only more video meetings but video conversations. Facetime one on ones, or one on twos! This weekend I learned how to have 3 people on a Facetime and see all 3 of us on the same screen – Swipe left y’all! It’s that easy. But if you hit “more” in the bottom left, you can pull up your photos and put a photo backdrop behind you in the camera. How cool is that! It’s helping us feel more connected when we can see and hear our friends and loved ones. And of course our colleagues at work – sometimes it’s just easier to communicate. But, there’s a fine line – I come from this space having worked for Premiere Global, now PGi back in the day before web collaboration tools even existed. We sold audio lines for $0.34 per line! Then came out the web collaboration tools and we sold those licenses and trained business users how to hold excellent web meetings. Well, human nature is such that not everyone wanted to be on camera. The product team of iMeet – a tool invented by PGi in 2008 – allowed for attendees to create a avatar where they could put up after entering the meeting instead of their live camera. OR they could put up a photo of their choice from their computer. Cool huh? So many of us during quarantine, we are looking a bit shabby at times, yes? Some people wake, shower and dress up – make up, every day because that’s what they do. But even so we are past due on our hair dresser, nail manacures, and hair is long or turning colors we are not confident in. I talked last week about doing TOO many video meetings. We need to give our people some breathing room during the day. Deliveries not coming I ordered two things off eBay last week and was promised to receive them one on Friday and one on Sunday. One item was a Spin bike I paid hundreds of dollars for – the seller cancelled the order = still has my money and I have no idea when my refund will show up. I’ve heard some people’s grocery deliveries they are having to schedule 6-7 days out and 2 days prior to their delivery day, their order is cancelled. Zoom Bombs So Zoom is the new Webex – or web collaboration tool. Why I say that is because like Kleenex is to Tissue Webex was the brand name of the solution category. 2019 it became more popular to use Zoom. Well, if you haven’t heard….a “photo bomb” is when someone or something living gets in the back of your photo without you being aware. Zoom meeting hosts and attendees have - unbeknownst to them – had un-invited attendees who at some point in the meeting disrupt it. They draw on presentations…..as written by Fortune, April 2nd, the trolls attempt to disrupt the video chat and upset participants by shouting profanity or racial slurs, or put up disturbing or offensive images in their video feed. It’s a modern form of trolls. These guys are hackers. Since the determination that there were deficiencies in the security protocols on behalf of Zoom, the CEO, Eric Yuan, has taken responsibility and apologized in this blog posted on April 1st. Zoom declairs that they designed the platform primarily for “large institutions with full IT support” and that since Quarantine, the user base has expanded way beyond what they could have ever anticipated for. Regardless, they are under scrutiny of the FBI and NY Attorney general having to answer questions from security experts about the levels of encryption and they have also been served two (2) class action law suits that a feature on their platform (which has since been deactivated) shared privacy data with Facebook. Zoom 101: Securing your Meetings & Virtual Classrooms Some schools and other companies are moving their virtual meetings while Zoom says in the next 90 days they will focus solely on security and not add any new features outside of Security. So, it’s a choice – move over onto something else or stick with Zoom. I’m personally going to stick with Zoom. I love the platform. I’ll follow their guidelines as to how to keep my meetings secure. One of the things is at this time encryption is not possible when you dial in from an external device like your mobile phone so I will be dialing in from my computer. I’m happy that the CEO has taken accountability and so I’m going to stay on it and take the security measures that they advise. Tech Talk Boy there must be a ton of people out there who’s skillsets and talents exist not inside technology yet they are having to figure out their home band width, their virtual meeting equipment, kids school computer, website sources to access information….it goes on. It must feel like another language at times. In my promo video for this episode posted on LinkedIn and some shorter video format duration on other social media I joked, And so the DS 2407 is not available, By adding a block of code at the top of your script called a param block, you can add a parameter to pass into the script. We will see if Schisizm co can get one delivered to one of their guys houses and we’ll test and engage dept 222 for advanced third tier support. It’s a bunch of jargon but it was to laugh at the fact that sometimes those of us in segmented industries it’s almost impossible to understand sometimes! We need to be able to reach out to people who understand to help us. Essential & Non Essential Businesses Things are changing so fast and depending on where you live, there are different categories of closures. The State of Georgia, where I live, went from restricted to “stay at home order” or what I have been referring to as “lock down” last Friday April 2nd. It’s a little bit confusing as to what is essential and what is not. I saw a sign outside of new housing development and it said, “housing is an essential business but we are only taking scheduled appointments. Call this number to schedule your appointment.” My husband and I were talking about cleaning services. Are they essential we were pondering? If you look up questions online it isn’t always in your face what is what. Last night we decided to order food for either delivery or pick up…. Wine Text Do you know Gary Vanderchuk AKA, Gary Vee? He’s famous in the digital marketing entrepreneur space. His story if you don’t know him is that he grew up as a young man working for his dad’s liquor store and he brought his dads liquor store online and nobody back then thought it was possible to sell wine online and that nobody would research it or gain info about wine online and he took his father’s biz which I believe was struggling to some extent anyway to a multi million biz because he took it online back in the day when the internet first came out way before we are today. and so he helped his dads wine co who I believe owns Wine Text – open up this new service – it’s called Wine Text - it was back before Corona Virus hit. Every day they send you a text if you guys don’t have it – some of you may be using it and enjoying it. But if you don’t have it every day you get the text, open it up and it has a video of a guy or woman behind a table talking about the featured wine of the day and the features of it. You get the wine per bottle at a discount and they quantify the number of bottles you can order for a discount and you just text back and tell them how many bottles of wine you want and they tell you how much the shipping will be and you you’re a min. you get free shipping depending on the number of minimum bottles, 6 or 12. And so hello we are trying to stay home and we are trying to not go out and we are stay at home and the govt is telling us stock up - don’t hoard but stock up for a week or two and try not to go out at all until we get thru this apex – this tipping point in the no. of cases and stuff, where the peak is with all the number of cases there are – so having wine delivered to your house! Some of you may have been doing this thru NAPA or whatever but most people haven’t so if you drink wine and you’ve never heard of Wine Text and haven’t been doing this and you are interested, I’ve really been enjoying it. It’s cool. Grocery Trips This past weekend the Gov’t announced that the Center for Disease Control urges now people to wear home made masks when they go out particularly to the grocery store while remaining the 6 foot social distancing. Well, we have seen many people doing more than that: gloves, shoe coverings, neck coverings under the mask, plastic bag outfits, and even plastic Halloween costume face masks….it’s been nothing short of shocking. Anti Virus-ing This is yet another category where personal choice is coming into play. Some of my friends are antibacteria and anti virus spraying all of their groceries either before they put them into their trunks or after they get home an unbag their groceries before they put them away. There’s no right or wrong here. It is true that it can be helpful because the virus can stay alive for days on the things that people touch in the stores then you put it in your cart and touch it with your hands and then you could touch your mouth, nose or eyes. People are using bleach and sprays to clean surfaces in their homes….in their cars, on front door nobs – you name it. This all is very time consuming and a lot to be thinking about every day! And it is definitely contributing to our mental stress levels or wellness adding up with everything else that we are thinking about. Frequent & Proper Hand Washing So the CDC first recommended singing or humming Happy Birthday Twice as being the simple way to time the amount of seconds you are supposed to scrub the soap on your hands before you rinse and dry your hands. The CDC has a guide available to de-bunk any miss information about how to kill the virus if it gets on your hands titled Show Me the Science – How to Wash your Hands I feel like we have all heard it a million times, but honestly today when I pulled it up I did learn that the water doesn’t need to be warm or hot (I’ve been wondering this in the back of my mind lately). The guide, based on studies (of course it comes from the CDC) says, “he temperature of the water does not appear to affect microbe removal; however, warmer water may cause more skin irritation and is more environmentally costly.” Kids Need to Eat & Eat Again It’s hard enough to plan or make our own meals let alone every single one of our children’s meals every day. Our oldest daughter has a 3 year old and we were on Facetime with her last night and her daughter asked her for food and she said, “I just gave you a plate of chicken nuggets and you only ate half so no wonder you are hungry already. Not to mention, I ate the other half and I am trying to not eat things like chicken nuggets. I’m trying to eat like salads and stuff that’s better for me.” Three year olds can’t make their own meals, but they can watch you. Leading by example and teaching them while they are young the art of food preparation is a gift. Our youngest who is 17, I am always cooking for him because I love to cook but I am definitely holding him accountable for helping write the grocery list and learning how to cook new meals. It isn’t easy because he wants me to do it – he does enjoy some of it at times - but it’s a great time for young people to learn. We had one of his friends stay with us over the holiday season and he was cooking all kinds of things! His mother did a great job forcing him to cook for himself sometimes before Corona Virus hit. So I’m sure she is having an easier time then most of us in this department right now because her son was already “trained”. So it does help when the older kids help and it’s safe for them to cook and it’s safe for them to cook – or even more complex meals they can cook the older they are. Some of you have kids who are college age and post college it just depends but it’s just nice when the kids lend a hand with the food and meals. It’s just nice when the older kids help when the kids contribute. It helps us working parents! Hair-ness Well I get my hair colored and cut and my husband he gets his hair cut like every 2 weeks! My hair is turning colors I do not care for and my husbands hair – I like it long haha but he doesn’t. I’ve got some grocery store grade root touchup dies and also some purchased from the beauty supply outlet – called SALLY. I’m not sure how it will turn out. I’m quite unsure haha - I think I need to order a “toner” online. A toner to kindof tone down some of these brassy shades showing thru. Who knows whether it’ll show up or not! But wth us getting onto video cams we want to feel our best. Whether it is Facebook, video meetings or whatever. So this is taking time and thought also. The NEWS I was guilty of watching too much news at first. Were you? I know a lot of people were. We were like, what is going on? What is going to happen next? What is the deal with the schools? What are they going to ask of us next? What can we do? Am I gonna get it? Are the older people I know going to be ok?? We felt like if we watched the news constantly that it would help us feel real time informed and somehow more in control of our lives. But then it starts to wear on people psychologically. It can be too much, even confusing. So we started to hear advice to “limit it”. Stay informed but direct activities, work and personal without the news on. And also everyone has their own ways they like to dedicate and decide on timing as to dedicating it and living with someone or many others, we should work together to try so everyone is mentally doing okay with the consumption of news. Know what I mean? What’s worked for your family? One thing we try to do is watch several sources at times and try to decide for ourselves what is truly important and action oriented. We still have our Ailments Geeze the pollen has been bad here. Last week, I got the worst head ache in the middle of the day. I didn’t know why I had this head ache. I finally put 2 and 2 together and figured out it was allergies from all the green stuff outside! I wasn’t even thinking previously about taking any medicine. I actually have year round allergies but it’s worse in the Spring. During Coronavirus it’s easy to forget about our other ailments that we used to totally weigh importance on. The news too – they used to exclaim every morning – OMG the pollen is SO bad today! Don’t go outside! Like it was the worst thing ever and not once this spring have I heard the news talking about it yes it is WAY WAY WAY less important than Covid 19. But I must say I think that pollen and allergies can really hurt people who have asthma or other lunch vulnerabilities. So I’m not down playing it. I’m not saying one is more important than the other but all we hear on the news now is Covid 19 and Corona Virus. What I’m saying is part of taking care of ourselves is to eat right, exercise, get outdoors, try to sleep enough and take your vitamins and consider your bodies needs, like allergic reactions to pollen so you can feel your best. We’re under enough stress. We still have our ailments. I just wanted to acknowledge that. The Subtle Art of not Giving a F*CK – Now it’s spelled differently from the way it’s spelled on the book but I am a clean podcast so….The subline to the book is A Counterintuitive approach to living a good life Well, I’m not all the way through this book but this NYTimes Best Seller is helping a lot of people. The inside flap of the book Mark Manson says, “Let’s be honest; sometimes things are fucked up and we have to live with it.” For the past few years, Manson – via his wildly popular blog – has been working on correcting our delusional expectation for ourselves and for the world.” “……Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties – once we stop running from and avoiding and start confronting painful truths- we can begin to find the courage and confidence we desperately seek.” Interested? Animals & Coronavirus The NY Times news confirmed, “Tiger Tests positive for Coronavirus at Bronx Zoo” and online there are articles that veterinarians are advising us to keep our pets using social distancing which is no less than 6 ft from anyone they are living with. Some people are going to the extent of covering their pets in protective gear while outdoors walking them. Alexa So where we are with technology currently is audio is going to revolutionize the way we do many many things. Our children today will be grocery shopping via these audio devices is just one example. It isn’t just Alexa - Amazon owns (Alexa), Google (Google Assistant), Apple (Siri) and Microsoft (Cortana). Virtual assistant robots are being developed. It will soon have the capability to access all information on the internet and at lightening speeds. AI (artificial intelligence) and data will allow for it to develop conclusions and scenarios to consider. For those of you who have Alexa or one or many of these devices if you are like me, we way under utilize it today, just because most of us still do many of the tings we do every day out of habit. Did you know that you can tell your audio device, “Play Carey Sperry – All Social Y’all Podcast?” For links to references I made here today please visit www.allsocialyall.com for the shownotes. Please review and subscribe. Stay well and I am thinking of all of you who are struggling either with a job loss or reduction of income or of someone you know with Corona virus or you yourself having it. I am praying for all of our medical personnel and the scientists behind finding medications and a vaccination. This is a very scary and important time for us to get through. Thank you for listening and I wish you a peaceful rest of your day.
How to Build Your Personal Brand in 2020 “Audience Targeting Plays an Important Role in Building Your Personal Brand.” -Rae Irelan (03:44-04:04) Many entrepreneurs want to have their personal brand these days. But we often forget that it's not about following and copying other people's work. It's about creating something new and unique to you. Your brand is an affirmation of who you are and what you love to do. In this episode, Rae Irelan shares how you can build your personal brand in 2020. Part One of ‘How to Build Your Personal Brand in 2020’ The first step is to define your brand statement. Your brand is all about opportunity, individuality, expression, and sharing value. That's what is essential. It truly is the practice of marketing a person and their career as a brand. There are lots of personal brands out there you could think of like Tony Robbins, Brendon Burchard, Beyonce, and the Kardashians. There are different types of individual brands. The question is, why do you have a personal brand? And, what does your brand stand for? “Modern technology makes it easy for us to create our personal brand.” – Rae Irelan (07:50-08:03) For sure, you have a lot of creative ideas to create your brand. You have to be able to hone all of these different ideas and bring them into 1-2 sentences. That's going to help bring clarity, direction, and focus on how to build that personal brand. Consider asking questions like what are your strengths? What is the value that you are bringing? How is the brand going to help people? If you're standing on stage and you have a thousand people in your audience, all very curious and interested in what you're speaking about then, it's going to make the experience a lot more interesting, unique, fun, and captivating. It will be more fun for you as well. But first, you must know who your audience is and what type of content they want to consume. The exciting part about developing your brand is you get to understand yourself better at deeper levels. You can share ideas, stories, thoughts, your favorite products, and your preferred values. You can share what you love. You can share what you hate. There's so much more the list can go on and on. The key is to create a successful brand and to understand why you are creating it. Part Two of ‘How to Build Your Personal Brand in 2020’ Build your brand and communicate with customers and prospects through videos, podcasts, and stages. Perhaps it’s a target audience that you have a product or a service that you can sell to your potential customers to help enrich their lives or solve a problem. Shift your thinking to customer lifetime value and retention so that you can have a stable business with long-term success. And don’t worry about the trivial aspects of running a business. If you are not good at the tech stuff, then outsource it. So many people worry about creating a personal brand because they are not tech-savvy. We no longer have to be a tech genius to create our own online brand these days because we have incredible access to technology at our fingertips. For example, if you have an Alexa Amazon device, you can ask Alexa to play, "Soul Aligned Podcast" and it will play instantly. I launch a new episode every Tuesday, and I do not have to worry about the technology behind it. Use modern technology to your advantage. It truly is amazing how this whole industry has simplified the tools that are needed. With all of the technology innovations, ask yourself how the process can be streamlined and simplified. You can do that once you are clear on your brand statement. The next step is to just be you. “Be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else.” – Rae Irelan (11:54-12:08) The world is craving you. It’s dying to see more of you and your most unique raw form. That is what we want to see. We want to experience a more profound connection. We are not going to be able to experience a deeper connection if everyone is following and trying to be like the neighbor next door or the girl on Instagram, right? Be yourself so that you can utilize your brand as a way to share who you are. And to do that, you need to get to know yourself more deeply and intimately. It might be a terrifying step, which is allowing yourself to look in the mirror and see what’s honestly there. What are you continually trying to fix and adjust? What are you judging? We all have it. It’s part of our beautiful human form. While creating your brand, you get to put your judgments and fears all to the side and expose yourself. Put yourself out in the world and share yourself. Share all of the magic that you hold. Share all that brilliant intellect. Share all your stories, all your lessons, and all of the skills that you’ve developed. It’s an incredible process. I commend anyone curious about this journey of creating a personal brand because you are not alone in this. As you take a stand to accept and love every part of you, that is taking a stand for others to do the same. It’s a big mission. You’ve got a big task on your hands, and I am so excited to see it unfold.

Canadialog, the Canadian podcast related to assistive technologies for visually impaired persons
After receiving the visit of Google Assistant and Siri, it's now Alexa's turn to visit the Canadialog studios! In this podcast of more than two hours duration, Olivier and Alexandre introduce you to Alexa, the voice assistant designed by Amazon. They show you the interface of the Amazon Alexa mobile app, as well as what it is possible to do with Alexa and Echo connected speakers: making calls, sending messages, controlling smart plugs and much more. Knowing that Amazon's smart speakers are controlled exclusively by using your voice and the Alexa assistant, these are fully accessible and can be used without any issue by blind or visually impaired persons. In fact, Alexa can be so helpful for you to accomplish tasks in your daily life. Although the demonstrations were made on Echo and Echo Dot devices, please note that Alexa is also available on smart speakers that have not been manufactured by Amazon, such as some models in the Sonos line, but with limited features. For example, features that affect telecommunication, such as messaging, calling and Drop In are not supported by Sonos at this time. Finally, if you want to become more familiar with Alexa before purchasing an Amazon smart speaker, note that it is also possible to use the Amazon assistant directly from your smartphone or tablet. In addition, as a reminder, the Canadialog team can offer private or group training on request on the use of assistive technologies. Do not hesitate to contact our team to learn more about training we can offer. Visit our website regularly to be informed when new Podcast becomes available or subscribe to our YouTube channel.

Ja du hast richtig gelesen, Alexa fördert meine Produktivität. Und nur zur Info, Alexa ist nicht meine neue Assistentin, sondern es handelt sich dabei um den Amazon Echo, ein Gerät das man mit Sprache steuern kann. Für die meisten ein Spielzeug das man sich in die Küche oder ins Wohnzimmer stellt. Eine meiner Alexa’s steht in meinem Büro und ist da so etwas wie mein digitaler Assistent.

采访、制作丨徐涛 剪辑、校对丨秘丛丛 说实话，在几年前我当记者的时候，我并没有太多把“创新”和“亚马逊”联系在一起。提到创新，大家更多的是提 Google和苹果。 事实上，在十年前，甚至有人会认为亚马逊根本不能和Google 苹果这样的创新科技公司并列。它是个电商公司，没错，但无论是从对员工的态度到市场策略都更加像是传统的零售商。例如它以节俭著称，绝对不会有Google那样奢侈的大厨和免费鲍鱼；以及它也从来不又Don't be evil这样的口号，反而是对供货商特别苛刻。 但现在回头来看，在过去二十年内，这家公司非但是给出了一个个的创新，而且每个创新都震动了行业。 亚马逊最早的在线图书颠覆了图书出版行业； 之后的在线零售对整个零售行业的影响到现在还在； 阅读硬件市场上原本烽烟四起，现在只有Kindle还活着； AWS掀起了云计算的革命，你可以说2010年前后无数的移动互联网创业公司能够兴起都有赖于AWS； Google和苹果搞了很久语音助手但都没受到消费者欢迎，反而是亚马逊低调推出的带 Alexa 语音助手的 Echo 受到了消费这青睐； 借着 Alexa 的成功，Amazon 在2016年CES上大获成功，逼得之前不参加 CES 的 Google 不得不在2017年 CES 上现身； 在扫荡了线下零售之后，Amazon 通过 Amazon Go这个无人零售店重新回到线下； 所以，这样一家有着零售基因的西雅图公司，就是是通过什么样的方式不断创新，以至于让 Google 都不得不认真招架的呢？ 所以，这次节目，我请到了两位亚马逊的员工来聊这个话题。他们聊了非常多的细节和故事，很多信息都非常有价值。 本期嘉宾 费良宏，亚马逊 AWS Technical Evangelist (技术布道师） 李轶，在亚马逊负责 AI programs。此前她是硅谷人工智能创业公司Orbeus的CEO，在被亚马逊收购之后加入了亚马逊。 在这期节目中你能听到 Amazon是如何在文化、机制、组织架构上来保证创新的； 为什么 Two Pizza Team 这样的组织架构能带来团队自主性，并带来主人翁精神和创新精神； 在员工提创新想法的时候，为什么要通过一页“PR稿”和六页“问答”来进行；这种方式和创新有什么关系； 为什么说亚马逊创新其实是和它的基因，以及历史紧密联系在一起的。为什么说亚马逊的有一些创新无法复制； 贝索斯本人在亚马逊的创新中起到什么样的作用； 亚马逊是如何通过失败来实现创新的； 相关阅读 How Does Amazon Stay At Day One？丨Forbes (https://www.forbes.com/sites/innovatorsdna/2017/08/08/how-does-amazon-stay-at-day-one/#20ed2e9e28e7) 亚马逊式创新丨第一财经周刊 (http://tech.sina.com.cn/i/2013-11-21/14348935491.shtml) The Amazon Tax丨Stratechery (https://stratechery.com/2016/the-amazon-tax/) 从贾跃亭到贝索斯丨硅谷早知道 (https://36kr.com/goods/p/5085675.html) 谁会在下一轮竞赛中胜出？看看这些公司的研究院 一网打尽：贝索斯和亚马逊的时代丨Brad Stone (https://www.amazon.cn/dp/B00GIEOT7W)
“Om det är säkerhetsproblem med appar och webbar, så blir IoT-problemen tio resor värre.” Effekten möter Christian Forsberg och diskuterar framtida utmaningar. Tänk uppkopplade övervakningskameror hemma; den enda medicinen är att de som tillverkar - inte konsumenterna - löser buggar och täpper till säkerhetshål. Brandväggar skyddar inte längre, vår information har flyttat till telefoner eller moln, ut i “edgen”. Vi är skyddade, men samtidigt sårbara. Är rösten plus ljud framtiden? Det fungerar utmärkt att göra sina aktiviteter samtidigt som Alexa (Amazon) läser upp nyheterna, men att säga “Hej Google” eller “Echo” är ännu bara okej hemma eller i bilen. Prova att prata med Siri (Apple) på stan får du se reaktionerna - det är inte social accepterat.

The O'Reilly Design Podcast: Designing in secret, designing for voice, and why improv is an essential design skill.In this week’s Design Podcast, I sit down with Cheryl Platz, senior designer at Microsoft for the Azure Portal and Marketplaces. We talk about the challenges of working on a top-secret design project, the research behind Amazon's Echo Look, the skills you need to start designing for voice, and how studying improv can make you a better designer.Here are some highlights: The challenges of designing secret projects The Windows Automotive project I worked on at Microsoft wasn't fully 'tented,' but it was kind of hush-hush, so I thought I was prepared when I went to work at Amazon on the Echo Look. But this was...I had never experienced anything truly this secretive. As a designer, being cut off and unable to talk about what you're working on cuts off a part of your process in a way that is a little disorienting. You cannot openly go to customers and ask them questions. You cannot openly go to other designers and ask them questions, and sometimes you can't even ask general questions without causing some kind of curiosity or alarm. ... You really need to get connected with whatever intrinsically motivates you because you're not going to be able to go to critiques and get validation or support or insights from other designers, for the most part. You're going to have to find other ways to gut check yourself to make sure you're considering all perspectives to make sure you don't have any blind spots. It certainly makes things a lot more challenging, and it creates a weird sort of career tension where you know you're on the cutting edge of something and you can’t...tell...anyone. Why voice assistants are all women There's some really good research that takes into account the way our gender perception influences our perception of digital assistants. ... The fascinating thing was that there was cognitive dissonance when a gendered voice talked about a subject that was not perceived to be in that gender's area of strength. For example, if you had a woman talking about the inventory at Home Depot, there was cognitive dissonance. If you had a man talking about fashion, that was cognitive dissonance. So, if you're a company and you're trying to release a product that's going to be very disruptive and cause privacy concerns—and I did not work on the initial release of the Echo, so this is me talking on behalf of myself and not on behalf of any company—but my guess is that if you're a company looking to make this really disruptive wave, you have to minimize cognitive dissonance elsewhere to get people to open their minds to a microphone in their home. For the American market—and the features that they planned for Alexa—Amazon knew Alexa would be used largely in the kitchen. Kitchen timers are super popular. Alarms. Household management stuff. I wish that we were just super gender neutral, but the fact of the market here is that cognitive dissonance exists. It's real. So, if you have a home-oriented product in America, you kind of have to start with a female voice. How studying improv makes you a better designer Doing improv has a direct impact on how you handle conversations, how you approach problem solving, how you approach question-and-answer sessions at conferences. The more you study improv, the more you learn that the world is not full of right and wrong answers. There are a lot of different ways to answer a question. For example, when I'm at conferences and I get tough Q&A, that improv training, where there are just a number of ways to handle a situation—none of them are wrong. There is an answer. Just have faith in your ability to find it. And to listen. That's the other thing. A lot of improv training is about listening to people, starting to understand their motivation—that's a very valuable skill, and I will be the first to admit that early in my career, I was not great at listening. I wanted to be right. I was as guilty as the next person of waiting for the other person to finish speaking so I could speak. Improv helps you get past that.

In this episode of WRLWND Radio, Marcello Sukhdeo talks about the rapid growth of voice-powered apps on Amazon’s Alexa voice platform, also, a study that reveals that extreme internet usage can lead to mental illness and he touches on the growth of video-gamers worldwide. Show Notes: Amazon’s Alexa Amazon’s Alexa voice platform has now passed 15,000 skills, these are the voice-powered apps. This is up from last September when it was around 10,000. Today, Amazon is currently the leader in voice-powered devices and it is expected to control 70 percent of the market this year — well ahead of Google Home, Lenovo, LG and others. Due to the increased interest in voice-powered devices, Apple has joined the party with the with its own Siri-powered device, the HomePod which will be released this December. In terms of competition, Google Home has just 378 voice apps available as of June 30, and Microsoft’s Cortana has only 65. So, they are way behind. Internet usage can lead to mental illness More than one-third of 15-year-old children in the UK could be classified as ‘extreme internet users’, or those who are online for more than six hours daily, outside of school. A report from UK think-tank Education Policy Institute (EPI) states that children in the UK have a higher rate of extreme usage. EPI examined the relation between social media use including online time and mental illness. While 12 per cent of children who spend no time on social networking websites on a normal school day have symptoms of mental ill health, that figure rises to 27 per cent for those who are on the sites for three or more hours a day. The study went on to say that they would caution against simply restricting a child’s access, claiming that this could actually hurt kids in the long run by preventing them from learning the skills they needed to cope with stressful events online. Video-gamers growing worldwide Nearly a third of the earth’s population is an active video-gamer, and that number will only grow, according to a study commissioned by Razer, the maker of high-end mice and other gaming accessories. According to the study, in 2016, 2.1 billion people were “active gamers”. An active gamer is defined as someone who plays a game once a month or spends at least an hour a week playing. Of the 2.1 billion people, over 71 per cent are millennials. This group according to the study is not only huge, but also young, which is a dream demographic for a company looking for growth in this area. Tech Bytes Students from the Eindhoven University of Technology have designed the first ever system that allows a bus to drive on formic acid. Formic acid naturally occurs in stinging nettles and certain species of ants, but it's also manufactured cheaply and safely on an industrial level, and is typically used for preserving livestock feed. The students use a blend of 99 per cent formic acid with a performance enhancing agent to create Hydrozine -- which has four times as much energy density as a battery -- to power the bus. This is expected to be fully operational by the end of the year. Researchers at Anglia Ruskin University put a mobile eye tracker and motion analysis sensors on participants who walked and crossed a kerb-like obstacle on the ground while writing, reading a text or talking on a phone. According to results, phone users spend up to 61 percent less time watching out for the obstacle, and bring their foot up "higher and slower" over the obstacle as they walked, adopting a "cautious and exaggerated stepping strategy" to minimise the risk of tripping. This tendency was observed most in users writing a text on their phones. Smartphone zombies are becoming a road hazard in cities around the world and efforts have been put in place to keep them and others safe. And finally, A battery-powered plane that can fly for 30 minutes has taken to the skies at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The "eFusion" has been developed by German engineering firm Siemens, and can reach a top speed of 140mph (225km/h).

En esta ocasión aprovechamos que Roberto Pérez de Paz andaba por Madrid para hablar de las novedades de Amazon en cuestiones de accesibilidad, todo aalrededor de su asistente ALEXA, y de sus altavoces de streaming AMAZON TAP y ECHO, aunque aquí mostramos más el TAP. Acaban de salir a principios de Abril de 2016 en USA por lo que cuando hemos grabado esto, era solo con 20 días de vida del dispositivo. Os soprenderéis de lo que este dispositivo es capaz de hacer, incluso para gente no iniciada o mayor. Y sewguro que os gusta la idea de que los desarrolladores pueden hacer aplicaciones para ALEEXA, justo lo contrario que pasa con SIRI: Así, Dóminos PIZZA o UBER tienen ya aplicaciones o SKILLS para este equipo de forma que podemos encargar un coche o una pizza solo con el altavoz sin usar más que la voz. Nuevos tiempos vienen y competencia que nos favorecerá. OJO a AMAZON que viene fuerte.
