U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is doubling down on its investment in blockchain intelligence technology, along with other investigative platforms. According to a notice of intent on a government procurement website, the Department of Homeland Security component aims to buy more technology from TRM Labs, which focuses on crypto risk management but also offers a bevy of forensics services for government clients. ICE this week also posted an intent to sole source similar technology from Chainalysis, which comes amid a series of planned purchases for other digital forensics tools. Both Chainalysis and TRM Labs have myriad contracts with federal agencies, including the FBI, the State Department, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Internal Revenue Service. In posting its intent to single source both TRM and Chainalysis technology, ICE is indicating there is no other provider that could reasonably provide the same services. Executives from high-tech firms Meta, OpenAI and Palantir are joining the Army Reserve at the rank of lieutenant colonel to serve in Detachment 201, a new “Executive Innovation Corps,” the service announced Friday. The move is the latest push by the department to tap into capabilities and know-how from Silicon Valley and the commercial sector. The new corps “brings top tech talent into the Army Reserve to bridge the commercial-military tech gap” and is “designed to fuse cutting-edge tech expertise with military innovation,” the Army stated in a press release. On Friday, the service is set to swear-in Meta's chief technology officer Andrew Bosworth, OpenAI's chief product officer Kevin Weil, Palantir's CTO Shyam Sankar and Bob McGrew, an advisor at Thinking Machines Lab who was previously OpenAI's chief research officer.

Themen Jedes Jahr setzt Meta mit seiner Developer-Konferenz Akzente. Akzente, mit denen wir uns in der Branche dann wieder für ein Jahr auseinandersetzen. Sehr wirkungsvoll war das Jahr 2021 mit dem Start des Metaverse-Hypes. Das letzte Jahr brachte uns viel KI und die Meta Ray-Ban, die damit tatsächlich gerade mal ein Jahr alt wird. Ihr Erfolg, soweit wir davon wissen, beeinflusst jetzt vielleicht die Strategie Metas. Denn schon bei dieser Connect soll ein AR-Prototyp gezeigt werden, über die Mark Zuckerberg und Andrew Bosworth voll des Lobes sind. Es ist kein Produkt, sondern ein Prototyp. Aber irgendetwas muss daran ja besonders sein, dass sich die Führungsriege Metas zu solcher Rhetorik hinreißen lässt. Thomas und Thomas sind gespannt und diskutieren, was genau das sein könnte und inwiefern dafür schon eine Entwicklerplattform, ein Spark-Nachfolger kommen wird. Außerdem diskutieren sie den Preis der antizipierten Meta Quest 3s, die als gesichert gilt und auf der Connect gezeigt werden soll. Wird es den Nachfolger ohne Controller, dafür aber mit Xbox-Branding geben? Wie hoch darf der Preis trotz Inflation werden, um ein Erfolg ähnlich der Quest 2 zu werden? Gegenüber der eben angekündigten Sony PlayStation 5 Pro wäre dann noch ein Xbox Ultimate GamePass der absolute PS 5Pro-Killer. Zum Ende freuen sich Thomas auf HTCs neustes Gerät aus dem Hause Vive.

This week Ian Hamilton and David Heaney discuss Pimax, OpenXR 1.1 and the weekend discussion between John Carmack, Andrew Bosworth, and Palmer Luckey.

Andrew Bosworth—or Boz, as most people know him—is the chief technology officer at Meta and head of Reality Labs, the company's augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR) organization, which he created in 2017. Boz joined Facebook in 2006 as their approximately 10th engineer, and in his 18-year tenure he built the original News Feed, Messenger, and Groups, as well as many early anti-abuse and infrastructure systems. At various times he has been the engineering director overseeing Events, Places, Photos, Videos, Timeline, Privacy, and more. Before Reality Labs, he ran the Ads and Business Platform product group, where he led engineering, product, research, analytics, and design, taking annual revenue from $4 billion to $40 billion in five years. Andrew currently leads Meta's efforts in AR, VR, AI, and consumer hardware across Quest, Ray-Ban Meta glasses, and more. In our conversation, we discuss:• Stories from the early days of Facebook• Lessons from Meta's downturn and recent turnaround• Meta's culture of transparency• Boz's thoughts on the Apple Vision Pro• Why communication is the job• Why you should regularly seek help from your manager• Lessons in setting incentives and avoiding their misuse• Why you should optimize for a variety in experience in your career• The importance of trusting your own expertise and not being swayed by external opinions• Stories of failures and personal growth—Brought to you by:• Vanta—Automate compliance.

Vai su www.ninja.it/ninjapro per abbonarti al servizio.Facebook nomina un nuovo CTO. Andrew Bosworth, l'attuale capo della divisione hardware dell'azienda, è stato promosso al ruolo di chief technology officer. Bosworth continuerà a guidare i Reality Labs di Facebook, mentre assumerà anche la responsabilità per la più ampia ingegneria del software e gli sforzi di intelligenza artificiale del social. Un ulteriore segno dell'importanza che l'hardware sta assumendo per l'azienda. Disney potrebbe cambiare i contratti dei suoi talenti. Dopo la causa intentata da Scarlett Johnasson per i non previsti incassi dello streaming del film "Black Widow", la società potrebbe valutare un reset. Si tratterà di un processo che potrebbe durare anni, con dure negoziazioni tra i sindacati di Hollywood e tutti gli studios e la mossa potrebbe preparare il terreno per come ogni creativo guadagnerà in futuro. Starlink al via. Il servizio di internet satellitare di Elon Musk dovrebbe uscire dalla fase beta a ottobre. A comunicarlo è stato lo stesso CEO di SpaceX su Twitter, rispondendo alla domanda di un utente. Presto l'apertura del servizio in nuovi Paesi chiave.

Facebook doesn’t have the best track record when it comes to keeping user data private. So when it revealed a few weeks ago that it was working on a prototype wearable computer that would interpret neuroelectrical signals, people had questions. The wearable—still very much just a concept—is designed to be worn on the wrist, where it could read a wearer’s nerve signals through their skin and translate them into device commands. It’s an idea straight out of sci-fi, and one that could actually be useful in VR and AR applications. But why is Facebook, with its massive software portfolio, working on hardware like this in earnest? How much more “connected” should we all be to Facebook apps? And should we trust the company to handle our data responsibly? This week on Gadget Lab, we interview Andrew Bosworth, Facebook’s vice president of augmented and virtual reality and the bigwig behind this prototype wearable. We press him on Facebook’s intent in making hardware, how that hardware can shape social interaction, and whether ever-present connected tech—especially the kind infused with algorithms—can truly be value-neutral these days.

This week on our show, we have Niranjani! She will share her opinion and experiences about the heuristic “Sleep easy on a green build” from the Xebia Essentials repository (https://essentials.xebia.com/no-broken-builds/). We discuss her recent journey, where continuous improvement based on a green (or red) build drove the teams to find solutions to guarantee the quality of the product, and at the same time the speed of shipping features. From automated testing to observability and A/B testing test data challenges, she shares how the practices evolved over time. Niranjani recommends the following resources: Leading Quality - How Great Leaders Deliver High Quality Software & Accelerate Growth from Ronald Cummings-John & Owais Peer Team Topologies - Organizing business and technology teams for fast flow from Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais Liz Fong-Jones blog (https://www.lizthegrey.com/)  Andrew Bosworth blog (https://boz.com/)  Niranjani (@RanjaniRambles) is an enthusiastic engineer passionate about writing code to break applications! She has worked at both startups and well-established companies like eBay, Twitter, Pinterest and now Lyft. She strives to strike a balance between being a workaholic and a wanna-be-traveller who is open-minded but still likes to believe unicorns are real!  

The crew is bigger and better than ever. We are joined by three guests, Jimmy Gilchrist, Andrew Bosworth, and Jay Noble. In this episode we discuss the Framing Britney documentary, WandaVision, and dating during the pandemic. Plus, a breakdown of the new Fernando Tatis Jr. contract. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/stephen-trudeau0/support

Patrocinador: suscríbete a Quinto Nivel, el podcast de Sony España de PlayStation 5. Es muy divertido, entrenido y sobre todo vas a estar el día de todo, todito todo. Crisis escolar / Autocrítica en Facebook / Móviles no-tan-grandes / Misterioso bug en macOS / Récord de satélites  La educación a distancia eleva los suicidios en edad escolar. Una preocupante estadística lleva varios meses repitiéndose en países de todo el mundo: en Japón los suicidios de menores subieron un 30%, en EE.UU. se han duplicado en algunas zonas, en España y México los psicólogos llevan meses alertando de un aumento aunque no hay datos oficiales de 2020 todavía.  Alto directivo de Facebook aboga por un cambio hacia más privacidad. En una carta interna escrita hace un par de semanas, Andrew Bosworth, creador del NewsFeed y actual VP de las divisiones de realidad alternativa de Facebook, habla de un "Gran Cambio" con la privacidad como base inicial.  "La forma en la que hemos operado estos años (...) ya no es la mejor forma de servir a quienes usan nuestros productos", "debemos desarrollar los productos suponiendo que no podemos recolectar, usar o almacenar ningún dato".  Compara los retos de privacidad de Facebook con los de seguridad de Microsoft hace 15-20 años, y cómo cambió la empresa tras la llegada de Windows XP.  Qué pasa con los móviles de pantallas reducidas. En Android no hay ninguno de gama alta y pantalla inferior a seis pulgadas, y el nuevo iPhone 12 Mini no parece estar vendiendo bien a pesar de sus 5,4" de pantalla, unas dimensiones que muchos consideraban una broma hace unos años.  Su mayor limitador sigue siendo la batería, el motivo inicial real de que creciesen las pantallas.  Deskreen permite crear pantallas externas de escritorio y recibirlas en casi cualquier dispositivo que tenga un navegador web, para acceder al servidor creado por la aplicación (de código abierto) en red local.  Necesitas comprar un "HDMI dummy" o similar que simula tener una pantalla conectada.  SpaceX rompe el récord con 143 satélites en un cohete. Principalmente microsatélites de diferentes empresas, entre los que destacaría los 10 propios de Starlink o las 36 "palomas" con cámaras de Planet Labs. — Fotos del interior de la cofia.  Amazon traslada el impuesto del 3% a los vendedores. Aumentarán las "tarifas por referencia" para productos vendidos en España a partir del 1 de abril. Aquí una lista de las tarifas que cobra Amazon a los vendedores.  Este nuevo impuesto solo afecta a intermediarios, por eso el gobierno se lo cobra a Amazon, así que los vendedores que vendan por su cuenta no tendrán que pagarlo, haciendo que el mismo producto vendido en Amazon sea poco más caro.  macOS tiene un bug de consumo que solo aparece en castellano. El proceso secundario helpd se pone a consumir CPU de forma descontrolada para usuarios con macOS en Español de España. Apple dice que no ve problema, pero no ocurre en Español de América, Inglés, Catalán, etc.  Realmente no se sabe el motivo real del fallo. Puedes desactivar que arranque el proceso, o matarlo si aparece.  Google renueva su diseño en móviles. La interfaz de resultados de búsqueda, mucho más usada que la de escritorio hace años, será ahora más colorida, más amplia y con más respuestas directas a las consultas.  Drupal lanza actualización de urgencia para un peligroso fallo. Afecta a versiones desde Drupal 7.x hasta 9.1.x, con lo cual ahora mismo es posible que haya millones de instalaciones inseguras, pudiendo ver o borrar cualquier fichero del servidor.  Un fallo de los escritorios remotos de Windows permite ataques DDoS. Entre 20 y 750 Gbps según los ataques observados por una firma especialista, debido a rebotes de paquetes en más de 14.000 máquinas con una versión desprotegida del Remote Desktop.  El misterio de los portátiles infectados en las escuelas británicas. Una remesa de ordenadores para alumnos repartidos por el gobierno británico venía con un malware de acceso remoto llamado Gamarue. No se sabe cuántos, ni por qué se contrató a una pequeña y desconocida firma china.

Election day in the United States is quite the dramatic event in 2020. We may soon know who will be the President of the United States in the coming years, what the new U.S. Congress will look like, if there might be a chance of federal privacy legislation and an EU-U.S. adequacy deal passing in the coming years, and if California Proposition 24 (the California Privacy Rights Act or “CPRA”) has made the grade. But the election process itself carries privacy implications and of course, there are other privacy developments in the world.In this week’s episode, Paul Breitbarth and K Royal address political campaigns, the CPRA, China’s new draft data protection law and more. In particular, they highlight the difference between the US and the EU when it comes to determining whether political ideations and opinions are sensitive data. In the US, voter registration polls are quite often public - which offers opportunity for potential election machinations. This year, we have seen non-official ballot boxes, controversy over mail-in ballots with external facing signatures and phone numbers, a high volume of political text messaging, and more. However, there have been other privacy news lately, such as the proposed law in China. Join us as we discuss these hot topics in privacy in this episode of Serious Privacy along with honor in voting, a la West Wing’s Donna Moss and Jack Reese. Given the impact of the election results, TrustArc is presenting a post-election webinar to address the privacy outcomes in more detail.ResourcesPolitical Campaign Data Targeting (Washington Post) China’s Draft Data Protection Law (IAPP) China’s Draft Data Protection Law (Nymity Research & Alerts -for subscribers)Facebook memo from Andrew Bosworth, executive at Facebook About bots and misinformation Article by Carnegie Endowment for International Peace on Comparing Democratic Distress between the United States and Europe Social MediaTwitter: @privacypodcast, @EuroPaulB, @heartofprivacy, @trustarcInstagram: @seriousprivacy

Courtney Cogburn: Virtual Reality to Improve Race Relations (Ep. 132) Columbia University School of Social Work Professor Courtney Cogburn joined Joe Miller to discuss her work with virtual reality to improve race relations. Bio Courtney Cogburn (@CourtneyCogburn) is an assistant professor at the Columbia School of Social Work and a Faculty Affiliate of the Columbia Population Research Center. Her research integrates principles and methodologies across psychology, stress physiology and social epidemiology to investigate relationships between racism-related stress and racial health disparities across the life course. Her work has been supported by the National Institutes of Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Her current research projects examine: the effects of cultural racism in the media on physiological, psychological and behavioral stress reactivity and moderating effects of cognitive appraisal processes; the role of structural racism in producing disease risk; and chronic psychosocial stress exposure and related implications for understanding Black/White disparities in cardiovascular health and disease between early and late adulthood. At the end of 2014, Dr. Cogburn received an award from the Provost’s Grants Program for Junior Faculty Who Contribute to the Diversity Goals of the University for a project titled “Black Face to Ferguson: A Mixed Methodological Examination of Media Racism, Media Activism and Health.” In addition to her academic research, Dr. Cogburn works with the Southern Jamaica Plain Health Center at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston and is a senior advisor at the International Center Advocates Against Discrimination in NYC to educate and build community activism around issues of racism and health. Before coming to Columbia in July 2014, Dr. Cogburn was a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health & Society Scholar at the Harvard School of Public Health. She received her BA in Psychology from the University of Virginia, MSW from the University of Michigan School of Social Work and PhD in the Combined Program in Education and Psychology from the University of Michigan.

The company announced that it will now fact-check political photos and videos, allow you to see the personal data they have on you, and limit the sharing of your personal information with data brokers. Meanwhile, on the legal front, Missouri’s Republican Attorney General has opened an investigation into Facebook’s data collection practices. Attorney General Josh Hawley wants to know about every instance in which Facebook shared user data with political entities, the rates they paid and whether users were notified.  In addition, Facebook will not provide evidence or testify before a U.K. parliamentary committee investigating Facebook’s use of user data. However, he will testify before Congress, and Sunny Bonnell reports in Inc. that it could happen as soon as April 10th. In addition, housing groups are suing Facebook for allowing real estate advertisers to discriminate against mothers, the disabled and minorities, according to Jordan Pearson in Motherboard. And Ali Breland reported on a memo leaked from 2016 written by Facebook executive Andrew Bosworth suggesting the company’s expansion is justified even if it costs lives from bullying or a terrorist attack. Sinclair, which is in the process of buying Tribune Media, has anchors read same script Sinclair Broadcasting, the little-known media company that’s in the process of buying Tribune Media for $3.9 billion, has been accused of being a mouthpiece for conservative viewpoints. Republican FCC Chairman Ajit Pai has been seen by many to have paved the way for Sinclair by relaxing longstanding media ownership rules. Now, Deadspin has put together a video showing dozens of anchors on tv stations owned by Sinclair reciting the exact same script making the same claims about fake news that the Trump administration has been making. Sinclair now reaches 2 out of every 5 American homes, with 193 stations concentrated in midsize markets. The merger with Tribune Media would bring that number up to 236, including stations in New York City and Chicago, if Sinclair doesn’t divest some of the stations.  Emily Stewart reports in Vox. In a Tweet, President Trump defended Sinclair.  Saks/Lord & Taylor hacked  Vindu Goel and Rachel Abrams report for the New York Times that a well-known band of cybercriminals hacked the credit and debit card numbers of some 5 million Saks and Lord & Taylor customers. The parent company of the two department stores, Hudson’s Bay Company, said in  a statement that the company has identified the issue, is taking steps to contain it, and will keep the public informed. Trump attacks Amazon Trump attacked Amazon on twitter last week, saying the company should be regulated, which led to a dip in the company’s stock prices. But policy experts say that antitrust action against Amazon is a long shot. Laura Stevens reports in the Wall Street Journal. City of Atlanta hit by cyberattack Eight thousand employees of the City of Atlanta had to shut down their computers last week. The reason? A ransomware attack. The attackers demanded $51,000 to unscramble government processes usually handled online. While the attack did not affect major systems like wastewater treatment and 911 calls, police officers had to write tickets by hand, none of Atlanta’s 6 million residents could apply for city jobs, and the courts could not validate warrants. Nicole Perlroth and Aland Blinder report in the New York Times. FCC greenlights SpaceX’s satellite internet service The FCC has given the green light to SpaceX’s satellite broadband internet service. The company aims to deploy thousands of small satellites to reach underserved areas, such as rural communities, at fiber-like speeds. Samanta Masunaga reports in the LA Times.   Tumblr cancels 84 accounts tied to Russia Morgan Chalfant reports in the Hill that Tumblr took down 84 accounts linked to the Internet Research Agency, the Russian troll farm at the center of a federal investigation into the Russian propaganda campaign that swayed the 2016 presidential election. Last month DOJ Special Counsel Robert Mueller indicted 13 Russians and 3 Russian entities connected to the Internet Research Agency. Trump administration to look at social media accounts for visas The Trump administration announced that it is planning to review the social media accounts of people applying for visas to enter the U.S. People entering the U.S. from countries with visa-free status, like the UK, Canada, France, and Germany, won’t be subjected to the additional vetting. But individuals seeking entry visas into the U.S. from countries like India, China and Mexico would need to turn over their social media information. The BBC has the story. But Joe Uchill and Stef W. Kight reported for Axios that ICE already uses Facebook data – not to track immigrants, though, but to track child predators. D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to hear challenges to the FCC’s net neutrality order Finally, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals will now hear the consolidated appeals of the FCC’s December order to repeal the 2015 net neutrality rules. The Ninth Circuit had won the lottery to hear the case, but Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals granted a request to move the cases to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, which heard the appeals of both the 2011 rules and the 2015 rules, which it had upheld. John Eggerton reports in Broadcasting and Cable.

Er war einer von Mark Zuckerbergs Dozenten an der Harvard University und folgte ihm nach zwei Jahren bei Microsoft als neunter Mitarbeiter zu Facebook: Andrew „Boz“ Bosworth hat seitdem unter anderem den Newsfeed entwickelt, mobile Ads vorangetrieben und ist heute Chef der Ads- und Business-Sparte des Social-Media- und Marketing-Riesen. Nach seinem Auftritt auf der OMR17-Bühne hat der studierte Programmierer mit dem deutschen Marketing-Vordenker Florian Heinemann (u.a. Project A Ventures) im OMR Podcast gesprochen – und unter anderem erzählt, wie die Tests für Video-Ads laufen. Alle Themen vom Podcast mit Andrew „Boz“ Bosworth und Florian Heinemann im Überblick: So hat Andrew „Boz“ Bosworth Mark Zuckerberg an der Harvard University kennengelernt (ab 3:00) Hat Boz auch einmal daran gedacht, eine Karriere als Akademiker zu verfolgen? (ab 4:20) Der Newsfeed-Algorithmus war eines der ersten Dinge, die Boz als Programmierer bei Facebook mitentwickelt hat (ab 5:30) Seit vier Jahren leitet Boz die Ads- und Business-Plattform-Sparte bei Facebook – obwohl er vorher als Programmierer ausschließlich am Produkt gearbeitet hat und keine Marketing-Erfahrungen vorweisen konnte (ab 6:30) Deshalb kann eine gewisse Naivität und fehlende Erfahrung Innovation hervorbringen – und so setzt Facebook das gezielt ein (ab 9:00) Wann hat Andrew Bosworth realisiert, dass Facebook groß werden kann? (ab 11:00) Das empfiehlt Boz Brands, die heute mit Facebook-Marketing starten wollen (ab 14:15) Für was ist Facebook als Marketing-Plattform laut Boz besser geeignet: Brandbuilding oder Performance-Marketing? (ab 17:00) Wie reagiert Facebook auf Kritik, dass im Newsfeed inzwischen zu viele Anzeigen ausgespielt werden? (ab 22:15) Wie steht es um die Pläne und Tests, Anzeigenformate innerhalb von Videos auf Facebook anzubieten? (ab 24:30) Welche Pläne gibt es für weitere Anzeigen-Formate auf Instagram? (ab 26:45) Welche Rolle spielt künstliche Intelligenz (AI) bereits bei Facebooks verschiedenen Anzeigen-Formaten? (ab 29:30) Gibt es Pläne, dass Audience Network für alle Publisher zu öffnen? (ab 31:20) Wie steht es laut Andrew Bosworth um die App-Economy? Braucht man als junges Unternehmen heute noch zwingend eine App oder sollte man lieber auf’s Mobile Web setzen? (ab 33:30) Kann man in Zeiten von Facebook und Google auch heute noch mit einem Adtech-Startup erfolgreich sein? (ab 38:00)
