ルシアン・エンゲラン：クラウドソーシングによる健康管理

（詳しくご覧になりたい場合は上記リンクからどうぞ）

スマートフォンで最寄りのATMは見つけられますが、AEDはどうでしょう?

TEDxMaastricht でルシアン・エンゲランが最寄りのAEDをクラウドで探せるようにしたりする、命を救うネットワーク技術の新しいアイデアを紹介します。

その他には、2014年時には、体重計がWi-Fiに対応する機械も製品化されていて計測すれば、自動的にiPhoneと同期されて記録もされていきます。

現在では、2015年にAppleWatchも発売されているので、心拍計も記録できるようになっています。腕時計型ウェアラブルコンピューターでスマートウォッチとも言われる。

Apple Watchの搭載チップは、振動にもつように完全に樹脂でコーティングされてるために、コンピュータシステム全体を一つのチップに組み込んでるそうです。

もう一つは、血圧計でもWi-Fiに対応する機械が製品化されていて、専用のアプリと連携させて、ワイヤレスで血圧と心拍数を手動で記録する手間が省くことも可能ですし、Googleや自分の担当医に直接転送できるようにもできます。

これは、小さな血圧計でiPhoneやら他の機器につなげます。家庭で血圧を測って担当医に送れるようになります。

100ドルと少しでより広範に渡る情報の共有が結果的に可能となります。ここまで環境が整うようになると患者は、自分で数値を集計して自身の健康管理ができ

自分という船の船長として舵取りが出来るようになるだけでなく諸々の医療費が爆発的に急上昇したり、医療需要が倍増したりやらの問題に直面している健康管理の問題にも役立ちます。

このようにデジタルデータで私を診ている街の総合診療医のところにも送られるようになると、担当医は体重に問題があるか分かります。

心臓除細動器やそんな感じのものが必要になるその瞬間まで待つのではなく遡って先手先手を打てるようになってきます。

使いやすいテクノロジーを作って患者を包み込む為にテクノロジーを使い始めましょう。血圧計のような技術でも可能ですがクラウドコンピューティングに取り込むことでも可能です。

なお、ビックデータは教育や医療に限定してなら、多少は有効かもしれません。それ以外は、日本の場合、プライバシーの侵害です。

通信の秘匿性とプライバシーの侵害対策として、匿名化処理の強化と強力な暗号化は絶対必要です！

さらに、オープンデータは、特定のデータが、一切の著作権、特許などの制御メカニズムの制限なしで、全ての人が望むように再利用・再配布できるような形で、商用・非商用問わず、二次利用の形で入手できるべきであるというもの。

主な種類では、地図、遺伝子、さまざまな化合物、数学の数式や自然科学の数式、医療のデータやバイオテクノロジー、サイエンスや生物などのテキスト以外の素材が考えられます。

こういう新産業でイノベーションが起きるとゲーム理論でいうところのプラスサムになるから既存の産業との

戦争に発展しないため共存関係を構築できるメリットがあります。デフレスパイラルも予防できる？人間の限界を超えてることが前提だけど

しかし、独占禁止法を軽視してるわけではありませんので、既存産業の戦争を避けるため新産業だけの限定で限界を超えてください！

情報技術の発展とインターネットで大企業の何十万、何百万単位から、facebook、Apple、Amazom、Google、Microsoftなどで数億単位で共同作業ができるようになりました。

現在、プラットフォーマー企業と呼ばれる法人は先進国の国家単位レベルに近づき欧米、日本、アジア、インドが協調すれば、中国の人口をも超越するかもしれません。

法人は潰れることを前提にした有限責任！ 慈愛や基本的人権を根本とした社会システムの中の保護されなければならない小企業や個人レベルでは、違いますが・・・

ヨーロッパでの一般データ保護規則(GDPR)でも言うように・・・

年収の低い個人（中央値で６００万円以下）から集めたデータほど金銭同様に経済的に高い価値を持ち、独占禁止法の適用対象にしていくことで、高価格にし抑止力を持たせるアイデア。

自分自身のデータを渡す個人も各社の取引先に当たりデータに関しては優越的地位の乱用を年収の低い個人（中央値で６００万円以下）に行う場合は厳しく適用していく。

キャシーオニールによると・・・

思考実験をしてみましょう。私は、思考実験が好きなので、人種を完全に隔離した社会システムがあるとします。どの街でも、どの地域でも、人種は隔離され、犯罪を見つけるために警察を送り込むのは、マイノリティーが住む地域だけです。すると、逮捕者のデータは、かなり偏ったものになるでしょう。

さらに、データサイエンティストを探してきて、報酬を払い、次の犯罪が起こる場所を予測させたらどうなるでしょう？

あら不思議。マイノリティーの地域になります。あるいは、次に犯罪を犯しそうな人を予測させたら？あらら不思議ですね。マイノリティーでしょう。データサイエンティストは、モデルの素晴らしさと正確さを自慢するでしょうし、確かにその通りでしょう。

さて、現実は、そこまで極端ではありませんが、実際に、多くの市や町で深刻な人種差別があり、警察の活動や司法制度のデータが偏っているという証拠が揃っています。実際に、ホットスポットと呼ばれる犯罪多発地域を予測しています。さらには、個々、人の犯罪傾向を実際に予測しています。

ここでおかしな現象が生じています。どうなっているのでしょう？これは「データ・ロンダリング」です。このプロセスを通して、技術者がブラックボックスのようなアルゴリズムの内部に醜い現実を隠し「客観的」とか「能力主義」と称しているんです。秘密にされている重要で破壊的なアルゴリズムを私はこんな名前で呼んでいます「大量破壊数学」です。

民間企業が、私的なアルゴリズムを私的な目的で作っているんです。そのため、影響力を持つアルゴリズムは私的な権力です。

解決策は、データ完全性チェックです。データ完全性チェックとは、ファクト（事実）を直視するという意味になるでしょう。データのファクトチェックです！

これをアルゴリズム監査と呼んでいます。

（個人的なアイデア）

データに向き合う別の方法として

「Appleでサインイン」

これに切り替える方法！！

Facebook、Google、Twitter、Lineのアカウント(日本他企業含む)を使って、ワンクリックでサインインできるようになる画面がよく登場します。

このソーシャルサインイン(ソーシャルログイン)方式にAppleが非常に魅力的な提案を2019の秋からしています。

Introducing Sign In with Apple - WWDC 2019 - Videos - Apple Developer

これはアプリなどからサインインする際に、ソーシャルメディアに登録しているアカウントの情報を自動的にサードパーティのサイトやサービスに提供してしまうことをコントロールする方法です。

「Appleでサインイン」（Sign In with Apple）ボタンは、アプリへの実装が義務化されて数年かけて普及してます。2021年時点ですべてに適用済み。

こちらは、Apple IDに登録しているアカウント情報からサービス側に提供する形にしてします。

使い方の簡単な説明は以下から

まずソーシャルサインインボタンから「Appleでサインイン」を選ぶ。

次に、名前とメールアドレスを登録する。ここで「メールを非公開」を選ぶと、Apple ID内に登録してるメールアドレスを公開せず、転送用のアドレスがサービス側に登録される。

最後にApple IDのパスワードを入力して登録を完了する。

次回からワンクリックで「Appleで続ける」ボタンから再ログインできるようになる。

転送用のアドレスは「設定」→「Apple ID」→「パスワードとセキュリティ」→「Appleでサインイン」から確認可能です。

他のソーシャルメディアアカウント情報から切り替えると、万が一、漏洩してもメールアドレスは非公開で保護できます。

そして

Appleは、プライバシー保護を目的とした「AppTrackingTransparency（ATT、Appのトラッキングの透明性）」を導入

高度なセキュリティーや高いプライバシーに投資を積極的に行います。

Appleはこれらの対策として提案した内容がこれ。

データミニマイゼーション！

取得する情報・できる情報を最小化する。データが取れなければ、守る必要も漏れる可能性もない！

オンデバイスでのインテリジェンス！

スマートフォンなど機器のなかで処理を完結させることでプライバシーにかかわる部分を端末内に留める。

クラウドにアップロードして、照会プロセスを最小化することで、漏洩や不適切な保存の可能性を排除する！

高い透明性とコントロール！

どんなデータを集め、送っているのか、どう使うのかを明示し、ユーザーが理解したうえで自身で選んだり変更できるようにする！

セキュリティプロテクション！

機器上などで、どうしても発生するデータに関しては指紋認証や顔認証などを使ったセキュリティ技術で、漏えいがないようにしっかりと守るセキュリティプロテクション！

機器上などで、どうしても発生するデータに関しては指紋認証や顔認証などを使ったセキュリティ技術で、漏えいがないようにしっかりと守る

202012のApp Storeプライバシー情報セクションは、3つ目「透明性とコントロール」の取り組み。

位置情報などは自己申告だが、アップルとユーザーを欺いて不適切な利用をしていることが分かればガイドラインと契約違反になり、App Storeからの削除や開発者登録の抹消もありえます。

このプライバシー情報の開示は12月8日から、iOS、iPadOS、macOS、tvOSなどOSを問わず、新アプリの審査時または更新時に提出が求められるようになっています。

さらに・・・

勝手に警察が拡大解釈してしまうと・・・

こんな恐ろしいことが・・・

日本の警察は、2020年3月から防犯カメラやSNSの画像を顔認証システムで本人の許可なく照合していた！

憲法に完全違反！即刻停止措置をみんなで要求せよ。

日本の警察の悪用が酷いので、EUに合わせてストーカーアルゴリズムを規制しろ！

２０２１年に、EU、警察への初のAI規制案！公共空間の顔認証「原則禁止」

EUのAI規制は、リスクを四段階に分類制限！

前提として、公人、有名人、俳優、著名人は知名度と言う概念での優越的地位の乱用を防止するため徹底追跡可能にしておくこと。

禁止項目は、行動や人格的特性に基づき警察や政府が弱者個人の信頼性をスコア化や法執行を目的とする公共空間での顔認識を含む生体認証。

人間の行動、意思決定、または意見を有害な方向へ操るために設計されたAIシステム（ダークパターン設計のUIなど）も禁止対象にしている。

禁止対象の根拠は「人工知能が、特別に有害��新たな操作的、中毒的、社会統制的、および、無差別な監視プラクティスを生みかねないことは、一般に認知されるべきことである」

「これらのプラクティスは、人間の尊厳、自由、民主主義、法の支配、そして、基本的人権の尊重を重視する基準��矛盾しており、禁止されるべきである」

具体的には、人とやり取りをする目的で使用されるAIシステム（ボイスAI、チャットボットなど）

さらには、画像、オーディオ、または動画コンテンツを生成または操作する目的で使用されるAIシステム（ディープフェイク）について「透明性確保のための調和的な規定」を提案している。

高リスク項目は、法人の採用活動での利用など違反は刑事罰の罰金を売上高にかける。

など。他、多数で警察の規制を強化しています。

人間自体を、追跡すると基本的人権からプライバシーの侵害やセキュリティ上の問題から絶対に不可能です！！

これは、基本的人権がないと権力者が悪逆非道の限りを尽くしてしまうことは、先の第二次大戦で白日の元にさらされたのは、記憶に新しいことです。

マンハッタン計画、ヒットラーのテクノロジー、拷問、奴隷や人体実験など、権力者の思うままに任せるとこうなるという真の男女平等弱肉強食の究極が白日の元にさらされ、戦争の負の遺産に。

基本的人権がないがしろにされたことを教訓に、人権に対して厳しく権力者を監視したり、カントの思想などを源流にした国際連合を創設します。他にもあります。

参考として、フランスの哲学者であり啓蒙思想家のモンテスキュー。

法の原理として、三権分立論を提唱。フランス革命（立憲君主制とは異なり王様は処刑されました）の理念やアメリカ独立の思想に大きな影響を与え、現代においても、言葉の定義を決めつつも、再解釈されながら議論されています。

また、ジョン・ロックの「統治二論」を基礎において修正を加え、権力分立、法の規範、奴隷制度の廃止や市民的自由の保持などの提案もしています。現代では権力分立のアイデアは「トリレンマ」「ゲーム理論の均衡状態」に似ています。概念を数値化できるかもしれません。

権限が分離されていても、各権力を実行する人間が、同一人物であれば権力分立は意味をなさない。

そのため、権力の分離の一つの要素として兼職の禁止が挙げられるが、その他、法律上、日本ではどうなのか？権力者を縛るための日本国憲法側には書いてない。

モンテスキューの「法の精神」からのバランス上、法律側なのか不明。

立法と行政の関係においては、アメリカ型の限定的な独裁である大統領制において、相互の抑制均衡を重視し、厳格な分立をとるのに対し、イギリス、日本などの議院内閣制は、相互の協働関係を重んじるため、ゆるい権力分立にとどまる。

アメリカ型の限定的な独裁である大統領制は、立法権と行政権を厳格に独立させるもので、行政権をつかさどる大統領選挙と立法権をつかさどる議員選挙を、別々に選出する政治制度となっている。

通常の「プロトコル」の定義は、独占禁止法の優越的地位の乱用、基本的人権の尊重に深く関わってきます。

通信に特化した通信プロトコルとは違います。言葉に特化した言葉プロトコル。またの名を、言論の自由ともいわれますがこれとも異なります。

基本的人権がないと科学者やエンジニア（ここでは、サイエンスプロトコルと定義します）はどうなるかは、歴史が証明している！独占独裁君主に口封じに形を変えつつ処刑される！確実に！これでも人権に無関係といえますか？だから、マスメディアも含めた権力者を厳しくファクトチェックし説明責任、透明性を高めて監視しないといけない。

今回、未知のウイルス。新型コロナウイルス2020では、様々な概念が重なり合うため、均衡点を決断できるのは、人間の倫理観が最も重要！人間の概念を数値化できないストーカー人工知能では、不可能！と判明した。

複数概念をざっくりと瞬時に数値化できるのは、人間の倫理観だ。

そして、サンデルやマルクスガブリエルも言うように、哲学の善悪を判別し、格差原理、功利主義も考慮した善性側に相対的にでかい影響力を持たせるため、弱者側の視点で、XAI(説明可能なAI)、インターネット、マスメディアができるだけ透明な議論をしてコンピューターのアルゴリズムをファクトチェックする必要があります。

Is Swift the Objective Choice now?

‘Swift Vs Objective-C’- It is one of the first Google searches every iOS developer does before beginning their journey into the world of app development. At a broader level, choosing between Objective-C and Swift is also one of the fundamental and crucial decisions every business makes before beginning any iOS app development work.

So if the question is Swift or Objective-C? The answer cannot be in binary. If you have an existing application already written in Objective-C, then you can weigh the benefits of switching over to Swift vs sticking to Objective-C. However, if you are planning a new app, then Swift should be your default choice.

Why so? Well, read on to know…

………………………………………………………………………………………

The Story so far

Apple launched a new programming language called Swift in WWDC in October 2014. It came as a surprise to every developer as it was intended to replace Objective-C as the main programming language on Apple’s platforms, which by all means was stable, proven and had been around for more than two decades, powering millions of apps.

The goal was far-sighted. Swift was designed to be safer, faster, and easier to maintain. Though initially built for Apple platforms, it was aimed to be able to support all platforms. Before becoming Open Source, Swift was designed ground up by Apple using decades of Objective-C experience adding a modern touch derived from the latest programming trends and good practices. It was designed to have all the goodness of a modern-day programming language. Though a descendant of Objective-C, it is fundamentally different in terms of design, syntax, programming style and memory management.

But replacing a decades’ long programming language with a new one cannot be an overnight affair. There were thousands of libraries and hundreds of frameworks already written and working with Objective-C, as they were supposed to. Rewriting them using an infant language did not seem logical. Thus, Objective-C runtime continues to access Apple platform frameworks like UIKit, WatchKit, and AppKit. And Swift has the capability to interface seamlessly and work on top of it.

From the very beginning, Swift is fully compatible with Objective-C, as it should be. Both languages can still co-exist on all Apple platforms. And Apple isn’t likely to change this in the foreseeable future unless it has any strong reason to do that.

Support for interactive programming using Playground enables developers to test their idea live without building and running applications.

In terms of programming capabilities and flexibility, Swift has a lot to offer. Its functional programming style, and strongly typed language makes it impossible to have run time crashes resulting from out-of-bound or type-related issues. It has features like closures, tuples, generics, Structs and enums supporting methods, extensions and protocols, computed properties, powerful extensions, and the list just goes on…

Design-wise factors such as safety, readability, code size, less error-prone, efficient and fast iteration over collections, and other platform support make Swift fundamentally better than Objective-C.

………………………………………………………………………………………

Why Objective-C then?

Despite being so much powerful, Swift lacked just one thing that triggered Swift vs Objective-C debate, and that is ‘Maturity’. In the earlier years, deciding between Swift and Objective-C was like choosing between a fledgling with a lot of promise and a veteran with proven credentials.

Those who had rushed to develop production apps using Swift version 1 & 2, had to refactor the whole codebase, or just rewrite it again. It wasn’t matured, evolving rapidly, and syntaxes were completely changing in the early iterations. Hence, it was difficult to maintain Swift Apps compared to Objective-C, which was matured, trusted and possessed a huge developer base.

However, after Swift3, syntaxes became relatively stable and some minor refactoring that was needed was taken care of by the Xcode itself. And then Swift4 seemed to be more stable in terms of design and syntaxes, but, it still lacked ABI stability. Then came Swift 5.

………………………………………………………………………………………

What makes Swift 5 different?

So far, every version of Swift has been better than earlier. But what makes Swift5 so special is ABI stability.

Starting with version 4.2, Swift codes from one version have been compatible with another. However, the application binary, which can be considered as the machine level code for the sake of this argument, wasn’t compatible with that from a different version of Swift. That is, Swift wasn’t ABI stable until recently before version 5 was launched.

With Swift now being ABI stable for all Apple platforms like iOS, WatchOS, macOS and tvOS, all future versions of Swift including Swift5 will be compatible with each other at the binary level. True that Swift will continue to evolve in future releases, but the application written in the current version of Swift will no longer need to be refactored or rewritten to be able to support future versions of OS. In fact, libraries written now will seamlessly coexist and communicate at the binary level with code written in future versions of Swift and vice versa. And the reduction in app size is the immediate benefit it provides to the users now.

………………………………………………………………………………………

Conclusion

True Objective-C is here to stay. There are millions of applications already running using this. But, it isn’t getting any major updates, most of the updates are just to make it compatible with Swift. As a language, Swift is way superior. And above all, developers with expertise in Objective-C and practicing it will dwindle in years to come.

Unquestionably! Here are a few valuable realities about Quick code:

Created by Apple: Quick was created by Apple Inc. what's more, first presented at Apple's Overall Engineers Gathering (WWDC) in 2014. It immediately acquired prominence and turned into the essential programming language for Apple stages.Open Source: In 2015, Apple publicly released Quick, swift code making it accessible to a more extensive local area. This move urged designers overall to add to its turn of events, bringing about a functioning and developing open-source local area.

Quick Development: Quick has a public development process called "Quick Advancement," where proposition for language upgrades and changes are examined transparently with the local area. This cycle guarantees that the language develops in a smart and cooperative way.Quick Reception: Quick saw fast reception since its delivery. It supplanted Objective-C as the essential language for iOS and macOS application improvement, and its usability and execution benefits added to its far reaching reception.

Jungle gyms: Quick Jungle gyms is an intelligent climate that permits designers to explore different avenues regarding code and get brings about ongoing. This component is utilized for getting the hang of, prototyping, and investigating Quick code.Convention Situated Programming (POP): Quick supports the utilization of convention arranged programming, a worldview that underlines planning code around conventions and organizations instead of class legacy. This approach advances code reusability and measured quality.

Optionals: Quick presented the idea of optionals, which permits designers to securely deal with the shortfall of a worth. This component stays away from runtime crashes because of invalid or unclear qualities.Memory The executives with Bend: Quick purposes Programmed Reference Counting (Curve) for memory the board. Circular segment naturally oversees memory allotment and deallocation, decreasing the weight on engineers to physically deal with memory.Monitor Proclamation: The gatekeeper explanation in Quick permits designers to leave an extension early on the off chance that specific circumstances are not met. It further develops code meaningfulness by decreasing settling levels in conditions and upgrades code security.

Mistake Dealing with: Quick has a strong blunder taking care of component utilizing the attempt, catch, and toss watchwords. This makes it more straightforward for engineers to deal with and spread mistakes in an organized manner.Numerous Bring Types back: Quick permits capabilities to return different qualities utilizing tuples. This component improves on code and decreases the requirement for making custom information designs to return different qualities.

Dynamic Dispatch: Quick backings dynamic dispatch for class cases, permitting designers to utilize legacy and polymorphism when vital.String Insertion: Quick offers string addition, empowering engineers to incorporate factors and articulations straightforwardly inside string literals. This component makes string arranging more helpful and intelligible.Solid Sort Induction: Quick's sort derivation framework can frequently conclude the information kinds of factors and articulations naturally. This decreases the requirement for unequivocal sort statements, making code cleaner and more compact.

Quick's continuous turn of, serious areas of strength for events support, and nonstop enhancements make it a flexible and productive language for Apple stage improvement. Its equilibrium of current language elements, security, and execution benefits have established its place as one of the most well known programming dialects in the business.

Oleksandr Kosovan remembers vividly the morning he left his home to go to work and didn’t know if it would still be there when he returned. He was jolted awake at 4 am by the sound of rockets striking Kyiv, and his immediate thought was, “I’ll probably never come back to my home. Mentally, I said goodbye to all of my belongings. And then I went to the office.” It was February 25, 2022, the day after Russian forces launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine, escalating a conflict that had simmered since Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea.

Kosovan made his way into Kyiv’s center, near the Olympic National Sports Complex. He was headed to the office of his 15-year-old software company MacPaw, which makes applications for Macs and iPhones. As CEO, he had urged some of his 500 staff to flee the city when the threat of war escalated. But hundreds had opted to stay. His first task that day was to convert the office into a temporary shelter for MacPaw employees.

“I didn’t think my body was even capable of lasting four or five days without sleep and real food, but it was running on adrenaline and pure rage,” he says of those first days of the war. A year later, MacPaw has kept the lights on, and Kosovan’s home still stands. The company’s staffers have been more unified than scattered by the war’s steep challenges and have even managed to maintain a sense of normalcy, exchanging Ukrainian memes via Twitter and Telegram and still keeping in high spirits. 

Kosovan is far from the only Ukrainian startup founder with tales of resilience and unexpected wartime productivity over the past year. Even as coders and entrepreneurs worked from underground bomb shelters and through rolling electrical blackouts, many managed to ship software updates. But Ukraine’s future is still unclear, adding to the risks that already come with keeping a technology startup alive. 

Hacking in the Dark

I first met Julia Petryk by chance last June, after she had traveled 15 hours by train from Kyiv to Poland and then taken an international flight to attend Apple’s WWDC conference in Cupertino, California. We spoke outside Apple’s sleek, glass-walled coffee shop, standing in glaring sunlight, the idyllic scene a stark contrast from the war-torn parts of Ukraine. Since then I’ve kept in touch with Petryk and recently spoke to or corresponded with half a dozen tech founders and workers from Ukrainian companies, asking about life in Ukraine’s startup scene over the past year. 

Petryk runs communications at MacPaw and is a cofounder of the Ukrainian PR Army, an ad hoc group of Ukrainian PR and marketing professionals trying to combat Russian propaganda by sending out pro-Ukranian missives to journalists and governments. She describes a year of severe disruption, and not the kind that Silicon Valley founders typically laud. She has worked from bomb shelters and coffee shops with backup generators, and has walked home through Kyiv in pitch-black darkness, decked in reflective gear. 

“When you have all this news trickling in every day, it can be a bit depressing. But people keep adapting,” Petryk says. “There’s no way out except to work for the future and fight for the future.” 

On October 10, Petryk emailed me from a bomb shelter in Kyiv: “Russians hit dozens of missiles at Ukraine this morning. Civilians killed again.” 

Prior to this, she and I had been chatting about a Slack plugin that MacPaw engineers had built called TogetherApp, which enables quick check-ins and location drops between colleagues. The pings flew among the MacPaw team that day.

Thousands of Ukrainian tech workers ended up relocating to neighboring Poland or to Portugal, which granted temporary protection permits to Ukrainian refugees in the early days of the war. Many more stayed behind.

In the days following the invasion, Alyona Mysko, the founder and chief executive of an accounting startup called Fuelfinance, temporarily relocated her company’s home base from Kyiv to a bomb shelter in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv, some 500 kilometers away, and encouraged remote work. But many did not want to leave Ukraine. “We all have this understanding that when you stay in this country, you support the economy,” she says. “And a lot of our team members have families and homes here.”

By October, Fuelfinance had eschewed remote work and pivoted back to office life, toiling from a coworking space in Kyiv called LIFT99. Mysko had made the same journey Petryk had back in June—traveling 15 hours by train to Poland before flying to a tech conference in California—when news broke that Russia had unleashed a massive attack on Ukraine’s power grid, resulting in widespread blackouts.

“It was impossible to connect with my family,” Mysko says. “But in the office we had alternative sources of energy, and we had Starlink, so we were still able to connect for work. It made us realize how important it was to have backup generators, which really sped up the end of remote work for us,” she says with a wry laugh. 

Backup generators and SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet service—every founder who spoke to WIRED said they were now critical to their operations. Some had the foresight to purchase generators before the invasion. 

Others, like Sofiia Shvets and Vlad Pranskevičius, who jointly founded an AI image editing startup called Let’s Enhance, raced to supply their staffers after the fact, purchasing several large power banks for employees scattered around Ukraine for around €550 (about $580) a piece. Each can supply six to seven hours of power to personal devices, though not enough for home appliances. 

“It’s all very strange sometimes,” says Shvets, who is now based in San Francisco. “We’ll have a video call with one of our product managers who has Starlink internet, so he can join the call, but he’s in total darkness, surrounded by candles, because he doesn’t have electricity. And I’m like, ‘Um, Dennis, how’s it going?’”

Since the spring of 2022, Ukraine has relied heavily on Starlink satellite internet terminals, tens of thousands of which were donated by SpaceX, with some support from the US government. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said in October that the company would no longer fund Starlink service in Ukraine, and he asked the Pentagon to pick up more of the cost before reversing himself in a tweet.

“Many people here and across the world were pissed off about some of his posts,” says Pranskevičius, who is based in Kyiv. “But what we’ve seen is that Starlink has continued to work. It’s been invaluable to most individuals and also to people on the front line, where there might be no connectivity at all.” 

An Uncertain Future

Let’s Enhance has continued to grow, despite the challenges its founders and staff face. One colleague left to go fight on the front lines, and another signed up to work on military technology, joining the approximately 7,000 tech professionals who joined the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. One year ago, the company had 27 employees; now, it says it has more than 40.

But Let’s Enhance is in the minority. According to a 2022 report from TechUkraine, an organization that supports startups in the country, companies are feeling the heat of war. While 43 percent of teams surveyed remained the same size, 37 percent of founders say they’ve had to reduce headcount. And more than 90 percent of Ukrainian startups have indicated they would need more financial support in order to survive the war.

Data from research firm PitchBook shows that early-stage startups in Ukraine raised a collective $17 million in seed or Series A funding in 2022, compared to $14.1 million in 2021. Early-stage funding this year has already surpassed that in the last quarter of 2022, including $1 million recently raised by Fuelfinance.

But despite promising signs, the broader prospects for Ukraine’s businesses are murkier. In September, The Wall Street Journal reported that, while Ukrainian companies in 2021 raised a total of $832 million in venture capital and from private equity, which typically invests larger sums, one analyst has estimated that the number of Ukrainian VC deals was down by at least 50 percent in 2022.

Let’s Enhance’s last fundraising round was for $3 million in October 2021, and its founders planned to stretch that throughout 2022 as they focused on a new product. They may try to raise more funding this year, taking on macroeconomic headwinds, in addition to the instability of war, that have slowed startup investment.

Still, Shvets is optimistic about fundraising. Several funds have cropped up in support of Ukrainian tech companies, both in the private sector and from governments. Last year the European Commission pledged €20 million (about $21 million) in support of tech companies in Ukraine. Some private investors are bolstered by the fact that many Ukrainian startups sell their software in the US.

“I would say the narrative has definitely changed since last year. When the war started, we were all in shock, and so were our investors,” Shvets says. “They were asking, ‘What’s going to happen with Ukraine?’ But we haven’t had any production issues, and right now I actually feel like we have a lot of support.”  

Dmitry Dontov, the chief executive and founder of data protection company Spin Technology, also says investors seem comfortable to keep working with startups with a heavy Ukrainian presence. Shortly after the invasion, Dontov, a Moldovan based in Silicon Valley, supplied his Ukrainian research and development team with generators and set up a safe house for them in the village of Koncha-Zaspa, about 33 kilometers from Kyiv. He relocated a third of the staff to an office in Portugal. 

“Initially, investors were worried. They were asking, ‘How many lines of code have been written last month?’” Dontov says. “But over time, I think investors saw that we were taking all the actions necessary to maintain performance.”

Not all startups have fared so well. Oleksandr Kosovan, the MacPaw cofounder, also invests in other startups through a fund called SMRK. It invested $1.5 million in a Ukrainian robotics startup just this week. But Kosovan says that at least two of the fund’s portfolio companies shut down within the past year. 

One of them was Seadora Seafood, a Kyiv-based fish delivery startup founded in 2019. The company transported some of its cargo by air and could no longer operate within Ukrainian air space. Another startup selling casual clothing is still operating but is struggling; as soon as the war began, Kosovan says, “the demand for such things was reduced to almost zero.”

In the context of war, necessities come into sharper focus. So do borders, and bonds with coworkers, and glimpses of the future, even if they appear in the form of a candlelit Zoom call or a flash of reflective clothing on a dark city street.

What should I know before buying a smartwatch?

A smartwatch is a bracelet-like wristwatch with an embedded operating system and sensors that can run applications, send or receive messages, show notifications, and more.

The first smartwatches were developed by PHTL Smartwatches. They were powered by the energy from a button cell battery. Later, in 1991, Seiko Epson Corporation created the prototypes of smartwatches. The description of this watch was filed in 1997 (see figure 1).

The concept of wearables has been gathering attention since 2007, when Apple launched its first iPhone. Nowadays, everyone is thinking about wearable devices due to their growing popularity. In 2014 Apple released its first real smartwatch: Apple Watch (see figure 2). 

Google also created a smartwatch called Android Wear (see figure 3). Samsung has released its line of Gear S3 watches (see figure 4). In the fall of 2016, Pebble Technology Corporation announced to stop making devices because it was bought by FitBit Inc.

What should I know before buying a smartwatch?

Before buying any type of device, you should know how to use it and what advantages it will bring. You can search the web for tips on choosing one or hiring an expert, but the most important thing is to check the specifications of a particular watch.

1. You don't need it

"The Apple Watch has been on the wrists of reviewers for ten days, and I haven't worn any other watch since setting it up," said Katyanna Quach from VentureBeat.  Some people are going to love this watch, but most people will probably not need it. According to a study made by Endeavour Partners, in 2015, about 58 million smartwatches were shipped. This year, Apple Watch sales are expected at $10 billion only for 2016 (see figure 5). That's why "if you want one, get it now," said Philip Elmer-DeWitt from Fortune.

2. You can use your phone instead

A smartwatch is like a smartphone companion, they are both powerful devices that offer similar benefits, but the main difference is that it's much easier to pull out your phone than take off your wrist to check what time it is. By having a smartwatch, you don't need to be so dependent on your smartphone: "On average, people touch their phones 150 times per day," said Ashley Carman from The Verge, "that's around 9,900 touches for the entire year". And not only smartphones are taking our attention: "Americans spend up to 90 minutes a day looking at their computers", according to Mary Meeker, who did this study in 2015 (see figure6).

3. It's for fitness enthusiasts more than the general public

"I think a lot of people are going to be disappointed with it as an everyday watch," said Jason Snell from Macworld. Indeed, smartwatches have initially been created for fitness enthusiasts. Tim Cook, an Apple CEO, said at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June 2015: "the way I see it, if you're looking at a smartphone all day long, you probably aren't doing so well." Also, Phil Schiller claimed on stage that the primary goal of the Apple Watch was "to help customers stay fit.” Android Wear also has health-tracking features, and watches can track your heart rate (see figure 7). Fitbit also has its line of smartwatches, the Surge (see figure 8).

4. Choose Apple Watch over Android Wear smartwatches

"The Apple Watch is something people will want to buy and use on their wrist every day," said Joel Santo Domingo from The New York Times. He also did a review about Android Wear at the Google I/O conference in 2015, saying that it wasn't good enough yet: "I still find it frustrating to deal with notifications when they come in on Android Wear. For one thing, there's no way to archive or delete them directly-you can only respond or clear them" he said

5. go with a Pebble Time Round you are not into fitness tracking but want an affordable smartwatch -

 It is the only watch on this list that does not have a color screen, and it costs $250, a bit more than other models ($179 for Apple Watch Sport, $499 for the steel edition). However, if you don't care about having fitness features in your watch, this model is a better value. "It's exquisite [The Pebble Time Round] and every bit as functional with just enough app support to keep most people happy," said Rich Jaroslovsky from Bloomberg.

6. If pure fitness tracking is your priority

you should probably just get a fitness tracker - "When users buy the new Fitbit Alta HR or Charge 2, they're buying something that's going to sit in their lives and do something for them every day," said Stefan Etienne from Techcrunch. In this case, maybe you don't want a smartwatch because the battery life is shorter than most fitness trackers.

7. Nobody knows how long the battery will last

This problem was one of the most criticized things about Android Wear. According to several reviews, the battery lasts two days or less (see figure 10). "In the end, Apple Watch battery life is likely to be a big sticking point for potential buyers," said Anton Shilov from Computex. Users can extend it using Power Reserve mode, but they need to know when they charge it so that they don't miss any important notifications.

8. Want to look like a cyborg? Choose another watch

An unnamed reviewer said: "it looks like the most futuristic thing on your wrist," and added that he would wear it even if it didn't come with any innovative features. The Apple Watch Edition is made of 18K yellow or rose gold (with sapphire screen) and costs from $10,000 to $17,000 depending on the band you choose (see figure 11). One could also check out other smartwatches by Samsung (whose Gear S2 costs between $300 and $350), Asus, Huawei, or LG.

9. You shouldn't buy an Apple Watch hoping for a phablet replacement

"Size matters when it comes to a smartwatch. The LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition is huge by comparison, with a 1.3-inch face that would look more at home on your wrist if you were rock climbing or deep-sea diving," said Andrew Hayward from TrustedReviews.

10. Do I have to charge my watch every day?

It depends on the model (see figure 12). Some Android Wear watches need charging every night, but there are not many reviews about it yet.

Conclusion

The best watch for you depends on how you plan to use it, your budget, and how vital battery life is for you. If you are looking for a good smartwatch that will last more than a day, the GX Smartwatch for the first thing you try out. 

If fitness tracking is your primary goal, get a Fitbit model. If you don't care about color screens or other fancy features, you can also save money and choose the Pebble Time Round.

Week 384

Happy Thursday! I’ve seen this tweet saying that Swift has been around for more than half of iOS development and I was amazed by that. I started my iOS dev journey in the Objective-C days. I even remember writing some retain and release back when I started, even though I probably wasn’t very sure how that worked back then. All that seems so long ago. However, Swift somehow almost still feels like “that new thing” to me, when that’s clearly not the case anymore. I remember in 2014 when it was announced that I realised immediately this was something big. I just didn’t realise how big it would be. I’m looking forward to this WWDC. I don’t expect anything big or revolutionary, but I also wasn’t expecting that in 2014 when Swift was announced or in 2019 when SwiftUI and Combine were announced. I don’t want to get your hopes up and I really don’t have any inside information 😂. I’m just excited for WWDC 2021 😄.

Swift use in Website Development Company |Programming Trends

Swift use in website Development Company is trending, but what is swift? And why would it be so popular? Here are some insights.

Swift – The programming language

Apple Inc. introduced Swift programming language in the worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June 2014. It is one of the most suitable programming languages for iOS, macOS, and iPadOS. It is also referred to as the Objective-C language without the C. This is because Swift is a simpler and extendable version of Objective C language. Bill Gates introduced Objective-C language as part of NeXT. Since then, swift use in website development is gaining popularity.

The popularity of the language can be attributed to the fact that it was introduced to meet the Objective C language's challenges. Swift focuses on simplifying Objective C incorporating Rust, Ruby, Python, and other languages. It offers much more than Objective-C languages, such as better string support, protection against errors such as null point, integer overflow, and dereferencing.  

Swift programming language is general-purpose and a multi-paradigm. Swift use in website development snowballed because it is easy to manage with a simple syntax, and it is open source. It has an apache License 2.0. Moreover, Swift takes full advantage of Apple's operating systems and hardware. Regulate updates are introduces to keep pace with the developments. It can be used for any Apple product. However, it cannot be used for Android or Windows. Instead, Swift supports the open-source OS kernel, Linux.

Why is Swift so famous?

Swift use in website development has made it the most rapidly growing programming language in the computer world's history. There are specific reasons for it, such as rapid development, easy to scale product and team, better performance and safety, interoperability with Objective-c language, memory management, open-source community, and much more. The Swift version 5.0 in 2019 incorporated the Swift standard libraries in every macOS and released the Application binary interface (ABI). Furthermore, it facilitates a web development company with end-to-end projects. The possibility of developing both the server and client-side with the same technology and tools helps the team to process faster, better, and cost-effectively.

The swift standard library offers essential language support and includes data types, algorithms, low-level primitives, protocols, and collections. The language support runtime is between the core standard library and compiler.   

Swift use in website development is getting popular day by day. Various developers are offering web development services with server-side development. Now, even companies other than Apple are investing in the development of Swift web frameworks and packages. For the same reasons, a digital marketing agency would be convinced for the swift use in web Development services.

Furthermore, it is one of the most recommended media for teaching programming. Hence, adopted by various schools and universities for CS courses.

Sette desideri per iOS 17 che voglio vedere per il mio iPhone

La fine dell'anno è di solito un momento in cui le persone riflettono su ciò che è accaduto prima dell'anno precedente, e lo stesso vale per il software Apple, iOS in particolare.

Dal 2007 con il debutto di iPhone e iOS, c'è stata una rotazione annuale di nuovi aggiornamenti software che avrebbero portato grandi cambiamenti o piccoli miglioramenti, come una riprogettazione in iOS 7 o widget sulla schermata iniziale in iOS 14.

Tuttavia, con iOS 16 che porta i widget nella schermata di blocco, gli utenti sembrano volere un'espansione delle funzionalità esistenti, piuttosto che nuove per iOS 17. Con questo in mente, ci siamo scervellati e abbiamo ideato sette funzionalità della piattaforma iPhone che potrebbero avvantaggiare molti utenti. Schermata di avvio che mostra le nuove funzionalità App Suggerimenti per iOS

Questo è qualcosa che sento molto: "Non sapevo che il mio iPhone potesse farlo". Mentre lavoro in un ufficio aperto, individuerò iPhone aggiornati a iOS 16, ma ancora sulla vecchia schermata di blocco o altri che eseguono ancora iOS 13 su un iPhone 11 Pro.

Apple ritiene che il design dovrebbe essere invisibile, che dovresti sapere intuitivamente che una funzionalità sarà lì, pronta per l'uso, ma non funziona in questo modo per tutti. Un amico non aveva idea che si potesse rispondere alle chiamate su un Mac tramite un iPhone, ad esempio, una funzione che esiste dal 2014.

Questo è il motivo per cui dovrebbe apparire una schermata di avvio aggiuntiva dopo l'aggiornamento a iOS 17. Simile a quando avvii una delle app di Apple e viene visualizzata una schermata che mostra le novità. Invece, mostra questo spettacolo quando vai alla schermata principale e chiarisci che l'app Suggerimenti può aiutarti a provare queste funzionalità.

L'app Suggerimenti è un'app meno conosciuta di Apple, ma per un nuovo utente è fantastica: non se ne parla molto dall'azienda e molto probabilmente non sai che puoi andare all'app e, come sopra mostra l'immagine, guarda una panoramica di tutte le nuove funzionalità.

Vediamo che è più onnipresente: forse un suggerimento casuale appare all'interno dell'Isola dinamica durante il primo giorno in cui aggiorni a iOS 17, o anche un'e-mail che mostra cosa puoi fare.

Questo è qualcosa di atteso da tempo, ma è una sfida difficile da superare. Apparso per la prima volta in iOS 7 con la grande riprogettazione a una metodologia piatta, scorri verso l'alto dalla parte inferiore del tuo iPhone per accedere ad alcune impostazioni. Successivamente è stato spostato nell'angolo in alto a destra poiché l'iPhone X e oltre utilizzano il gesto di scorrimento verso l'alto per tornare alla schermata principale.

Quasi dieci anni dopo, Control Center è peggiorato, principalmente a causa del numero di nuove funzionalità che sono apparse e, a loro volta, hanno riempito il menu così tanto che può essere difficile uscire dallo schermo quando si tenta di scorrere verso l'alto.

Vediamo una riprogettazione in cui possiamo ridimensionare le opzioni, in modo simile ai widget nella schermata iniziale, e consentire alle app di terze parti di accedere al Centro di controllo.

E per inciso, vediamo anche Control Center come parte del menu multitasking su iPad, invece di avere una propria sezione.

Riproduci in streaming i giochi più facilmente da iOS a Twitch Apple ha fatto una grande spinta sui giochi al WWDC 2022, dove ha annunciato Resident Evil Village in arrivo su Mac e No Man's Sky in arrivo sia su Mac che su iPad, ma se volevi riprodurre in streaming i giochi sul tuo iPhone tramite Twitch, sei sfortunato.

Certo, SharePlay consente agli utenti di trasmettere in streaming ciò che stanno facendo in determinate app, ma è all'interno di una chiamata FaceTime. Invece, vediamo una funzione in cui puoi premere un pulsante per caricare il tuo account Twitch e riprodurre in streaming il tuo gioco Apple Arcade.

Rendiamo anche possibile guardare la finestra della chat di chi guarda il tuo streaming e tenere traccia delle tue iscrizioni tramite notifiche su un altro dispositivo Apple che potresti avere.
