EPA prevents the recycling of minerals “- New Technology

DEBATE. EPA counteracts the remediation of old landfills, which would provide substantial environmental gains. The reasoning is tendentious and entirely incorrect, write researchers from Linköping University.

To extract natural resources from landfills is a way to save the earth’s resources, while taking care of the environmental debt that everyone these contaminated sites means. Research shows that integrated recycling and remediation of landfills would have major environmental and social benefits, from global to local level.

The Environmental Protection Agency has, together with the Tax Office, investigated the appropriateness of the tax exemption for the residual waste arising landfill recycling. The investigation, which is now out for consultation contains a number of shortcomings and tendentious reasoning directly counteracts the transition towards a circular economy.

But as with all new solutions are there to begin with uncertainties and challenges, not least when it comes profitability. Just use this uncertainty authorities as the reason for not doing anything to stimulate further development in the area. They believe that there are economic reasons for the state to favor landfill recovery and that the “free market” rather can and should create such incentives.

We think that argument is absurd and demonstrates a troubling ignorance of how social change takes place in reality. The reasoning is also contrary to the government’s vigorously expressed the political will to industrial renovation, with sustainability as one of the four theme song.

In order for new sustainable solutions will be introduced with successful results requires long-term investment in knowledge and technology. In most cases these are supplemented by institutional changes in the form of new instruments and adaptations of the laws and requirements, to motivate actors to invest their money in innovative transformation initiatives such as those launched for a circular economy.

Government commissioned the Environmental Protection Agency with the National Tax basically do not loose any of all the regulatory uncertainties that are landfill recycling. However hitting the fixed tax payable for all residual waste to be deposited, thus limiting greatly the willingness to invest in such initiatives.

An exemption from landfill tax in connection landfill recovery had cost the government very little and sent a clear signal to industry that the continued investment in this area is justified and desirable. This had also been a logical conclusion in that landfill recycling meets this skatts goal: to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill in favor of increased recycling.

Tax Agency concludes instead that a tax exemption is not possible as it constitutes State environmental aid, which must not be left to “companies that are in difficulty” (what are these?). The conclusion is completely wrong; there is a whole list of industrial residues in similar premises are exempt from landfill tax. In the case of landfill recycling it is not about “benefit” troubled businesses but rather about removing an unnecessary current regulatory obstacles to allow recycling companies to further contribute to the transition towards a circular economy.

Given the global changes we are now seeing and the EU’s ambitions for a circular economy, so secondary resources will have to play a central role in our future prosperity. Mining as copper, aluminum, zinc and renewable fuels from waste landfills can not solve this on your own, but the quantities are large enough to be able to double the annual recycling flows for decades to come. Despite this, judges Environmental Protection Agency resource potential of landfills as a child.

The reason for this conclusion is that we compare these stores with the huge amounts of selected metals found in low-grade “ore deposits” and whose extraction is likely to involve an unimaginably major negative environmental impact.

learning to extracting secondary resources from landfills and other stored up supplies in society will take time, and based on that there are companies who are willing to make large investments in knowledge and technology. These companies now need clarity, support, and political openness to new solutions instead of being discouraged by the authorities.

Rüya did not work – because of the veil – Göteborgs-Posten



Job Offer at Santa Maria was withdrawn due to Rüya El Hattawi, 20, wearing a headscarf. Picture: Private

Offer Jobs at Santa Maria was withdrawn due to Rüya El Hattawi, 20, wearing a headscarf.
 In an attempt to resolve the situation the company asked if she could take off her veil during working hours.
 - I’m not going to throw me off my identity to work in a factory, says Rüya.
 Now the company has changed – the job offer still stands. But Rüya declined.

Rüya El Hattawi had a summer job at Santa Maria’s spice factory in Mölndal.
– It felt just fine . I’m thinking “damn what a relief, now I whacked summer job. It is only to be expected in the summer.” But it was not so, says Rüya.
Shortly after the job offer came another statement from the company. According staffing company she had gone through had been a lack of communication with Santa Maria – you can not wear the veil at the factory.
– Santa Maria had double-checked their health policy and they could not hire me because of my veil. I tried to compromise and said I could have the protection of my veil or have a special headscarf at work. But they took the bait does not. Then they asked if I could take off my veil during working hours.

How did it feel to get such a question?
– First of all, I did not understand if it was a serious issue. I was obviously very offended by it. I told her that it’s not a fashion accessory I go around with. I’m not going to throw me off my identity to work in a factory. She just said, “then there is nothing we can do.” And there ended the call, saying Rüya El Hattawi.

What does the veil for you?
– It does Rüya actually. It means “I”.



Never hit earlier

She has never been hit by something like this before.
– That’s why I was so upset. But now I know, this happens in Sweden in 2016.

The job offer was withdrawn on Friday. Then wrote Rüya El Hattawi a long post on Facebook. “ I refuse to let you illogical policy affect me in the future. Because of you dares women with veil not apply for a job, but I will not be one of them ,” she wrote, among other things.

And: “ I hope that you, especially my beautiful sisters in the veil, never ever get to experience this. I thought seriously that things are not happening until it happened to me. I know, unfortunately, that it will not be the last time. But never give up! Go to every job interview with head high and back straight. Do not be afraid to get a no. You are not alone. BUT, never let discrimination normalized. Report, say to. Do not accept . “

She describes the response as getting a slap:” I wish I could put into words how wordless, sad and angry I was. I’m sure there’s more here who have been denied jobs for one or the other. But, your identity will be one of the reasons why I was not prepared for.

got the job anyway

after the post drew the attention of several media what she’s been through. And yesterday came the turnaround. Santa Maria offered her job back.
– It was really nice that they tried to solve the problem and apologized.

But Rüya declined.
– I told them that I feel myself and I know the second I put my foot in there, I will feel bad. So as I experienced it, it is not something you can forget about overnight. It is not good for the plant not to have an employee who does not do his job wholeheartedly.

Why do you think they changed?
– I do not know. First I got the job, then taken it back, then they want to give it back to me again. It sounds so unprofessional. They say there was a lack of communication. I hope for it because I know nothing else.

She says she had lots hatmeddelande after the event.
– They write that I stand for the oppression of women, and I do not have a place in Sweden, but I just laugh about it. It was I who forced my parents that I would have a veil. That’s me. I feel so naked without it. When they asked if I could get it during work hours so I thought ‘oh my God, it’s like they’re asking me to be naked. “



” We have done wrong “

Now, she no summer jobs, moreover, it would switch to a part-time job in the fall.
Several media have said that paid attention to what Rüya been through. Aftonbladet has talked to Santa Maria.
– Both we and the agency has been done wrong. The decision was incorrect and communication to her was wrong and disrespectful, not understanding her side and furthermore not solution-oriented, says Eva Berglie, head of communications at the Santa Maria to the newspaper.

Contacts and stickers – this is startup companies – New Technology

Why startups sit in places like Sup 46, Minc and Mid Eng Prk? To triggered by like-minded and contacts. To understand the meaning of growth hacking and fuckup nights. And for the stickers, of course.

Sup 46, one of the hubs for startups in Stockholm, has moved to new premises at Regeringsgatan 65, in the city center. One block away is the epicenter of companies with Tictail, who arrived a little longer. And a few more steps away is Knackeriet, which has two assembly points for the development of the Old Town.

All cities with self-respect now boasting about their venues for today’s acclaimed technology entrepreneurs. In Malmö, places names like The Ground and Minc. In Östersund city attracts with Mid Eng Prk.

The real estate company AMF provides to the tenant Sup 46 a good deal for the young stars to help make the neighborhood “interesting”. And at the next meeting with the Prime Minister’s Innovation group remains “the conditions for startups” on the agenda.

– Startup companies are the new people’s home, the entrepreneurs have become the answer to everything, says Henrik Hoffman, a little joke, a little seriously .

He is one of the 250 people in the 50′s company sitting on Sup 46 and is marketing manager for Qasa, which is developing a service for sublease. The company recently received the 3 million, and is now part of Hemnet.

Henry Hoffman sees several advantages to collecting development in one place. Qasa has helped several of Sup 46 companies to obtain housing for their employees, and Henrik Hoffman will participate in a panel discussion on the hot issue of housing for the Sup 46 events in Almedalen this summer.

– We had never got started so early with marketing via influential bloggers if we met people from Beatly in the break room.

the coffee place is only open to member companies. But the other day opened Sup 46 a café where even ordinary people can go and drink in the atmosphere if they wish. A cappuccino costs 30 kronor, an orange juice as well.

On the couch, I meet Victoria Wagman, who just completed his lesson in “Coding for beginners”, with students from the other member companies. It is an initiative by the companies themselves. Sup 46 stands for the premises.

Victoria Wagman has its own smoothie, which looks pretty scary.

– But it is yummy. There is by the way an app, “Superjuiceme”, with a lot of good recipes and videos, which I can recommend.

Everyone helps each other. How do they do in Silicon Valley and so do these Regeringsgatan.

Victoria Wagman is the developer of the 46 Elks since four months. The company develops cloud based phone and SMS services, and has nearly 600 customers. Some 20 of them are Sup 6 companies or their friends’ companies.

A startup must have a strange name. But why 46 Elks?

– To 46 is Sweden’s country code and moose are cool animals, she explains.

Stranger than that, it is not. The Company had sales of SEK 2 million last year. And has received SEK 6 million from Almi Invest and others.

In addition to the strange name, a start-up companies have a “stand”, a sticker with your own logo. It is an inexpensive way to show that you are also in the physical world. They can be set up anywhere. I have seen them at the restaurant toilets in startup-land of Israel, and on lampposts in the high-tech city of Boulder. It is clearly a global phenomenon.

The moose is understood among brands at Victoria Wagmans computer.

– And no, I have to make a statement. I have one of Edward Snowden, and one for “Hack for Sweden”, a hackathon where people come together to do good things for the country.

There are critics who think Sup 46 is nothing more than hyped office space, which attracts young tenants with the help of colorful walls and room for football. A playground for youngsters, sighs someone.

But everyone I talk to is reputable behind the cool facade. They want to take over the world, and sits here because of the contacts. Here is the opportunity to meet with investors, mentors, customers and people to hire.

– We wanted to sit with companies that are in the same phase and has a digital product. Some other places were too fuzzy. Too much yoga on working hours, if you understand. It must be serious, but relaxed, says Felicia Åkerlind, who is a founder of It’s My Styl, a social network with 50 000 young fashion-conscious girls as members.

Her company is currently finalizing an investment round where many contacts coming through the network of Sup 46. And it was when she went Coding course last year as Felicia Åkerlind realized that 46 Elks had a product that would solve her problems.

– it’s My Styls customers are young girls, who have neither acquired e-mail or Facebook. Their ID is their mobile number, and with 46 Elks SMS service, we direct contact with them.

Both 46 Elks and Beatly emphasizes the value of sitting so close to some of its customers. They get immediate feedback if something is not working and tips on how service can be improved.

– It’s a real luxury for us to have few customers so close. As it is in all the management books: where near your customers. And certain requests for improvements may only require a half-hour job, says Victoria Wagman at 46 Elks.

Victor Strömberg, Sales Director and co-founder of Beatly, triggered by sitting with like minded people.

– But nothing happens by itself! It is required that you are hungry to take advantage of a place like this, he says.

Beatly launched its service in August last year, and expects sales of 6 million kronor a year. The company is currently trying to bring in an investment of 2 million. Beatly working with several Sup46 companies but also with companies Linas web and Bjorn Borg.

Viktor Stromberg appreciate many of the events, organized in the premises.

– Be on a lecture here with Rebel & amp; Growth, which told of growth hacking. It was very good.

With the growth hacking refers to how a company gets to an exponential growth by a small but very important change. As Spotify ran “invites only” at the beginning, which led customers to flow to.

Many also like the draws for fuckup Nights, an event where others tell of times when it has gone wrong. Among others, Henrik Hoffman.

– We have much to learn from each other. Many are in the same situation. How to deal with investors, how do you out into the world?

But he admits that he sometimes gets tired of all the “startup” hose and all mingle.

– Why must the hot fuckup Nights? And it is perhaps a little too much mingling here for my taste, but I need on the other hand did not go at all.

The young innovative cars have suggestions on how Sup 46 can be improved. Sometimes they take things into their own hands and make a “small nicks”, as it is called in their language.

– Someone put a piece of furniture paw in the door frame here so it does not sound like much when the door batted again. A good small notch, says Viktora Wagman

Henry Hoffman wonder why all gathering places for development must be seated in the city.

– I probably tried a local three subway stations further out from the city . We pay 25,000 kronor a month for a room of 35 square meters here.

He also gives a tip to young entrepreneurs who have not yet received any place.

– It is possible to acquire many contacts yet. In Stockholm, the Tech Meetup you would go to in order to meet like-minded people.

Swedish bitcoinföretagets bankruptcy – the owners are losing hundreds of millions – Business Week

In just half a year ago term they entered 125 million in the investment round.

KNC Miner, called a loader of crypto currency bitcoin, has asked himself bankrupt, according to a press release from the company. “Due to the high uncertainty about bitcoin-halving coming in July, combined with continued rapid increase in competition from our competitors, so the company will be very difficult to meet its commitments,” said company co-founder and CEO Sam Cole.

Bitcoin-halving is a change that means that from June requires twice as much computing power to verify the transaction chain as before. This means that the number of Bitcoins that will be at each new block in which you will find is the half compared to before, and to be able to find the same amount of Bitcoins as required before then double the bet. KNC Miner, with data centers in Constance, is also very dependent on the Swedish electricity prices, which Sam Cole emerged as another bidragane cause of the bankruptcy. Data center in Sweden will pay 19.2 cents per kilowatt-hour, compared with, for example around 0.5 cents in Denmark.

“If the price had been higher and lower our costs, we would have passed us. Right now we can not influence these things, “said Sam Cole to Breakit. “We knew there were risks of doing it here in Sweden. We were aiming towards the clouds, not on building a mediocre midsize businesses. We took the big investors and chances spirit. But it has not paid off,” he says further.

as late as in 2015 took the KNC 125 million in a rights issue and has a total added SEK 220 million in venture capital. The ownership ranks include Creandum, GP Bullhound and Accel. There are also those who are now becoming the big losers when the bankruptcy petition is filed. Accel has invested over 83 million in the company, Creandum around 58 million.

The bankruptcy, however, affect other than the owners of the KNC. On Nasdaq Stockholm traded for a year bitcoin certificate KNC behind via sister company XBT Provider. Trading in the instruments was stopped by Stockholm Stock Exchange shortly after the clock 17 on Friday.

“The individuals who bought these instruments in the belief that they bought bitcoin is now the holder of the instrument can be completely worthless,” wrote Joakim Bornold, savings economist Nordnet, in a statement. “It also shows how vulnerable this type derivatives trading is to rogue operators”, he notes further.

According to a statement from the XBT affected, however the company is not the majority owner’s bankruptcy.

Bitcoingrävaren KNC Miner bankrupt – New Technology

Swedish bitcoinbolaget KNC Miner goes bankrupt. The future of the company’s data center in Boden is uncertain.

KNC Miner does not believe in the profitability of its utvinnig of the digital currency Bitcoin in its three data centers in northern Sweden in the long term. While the price of Bitcoin Friday was more than twice as high as a year ago, the company announced that they are now applying for bankruptcy. This despite the fact that the company’s mining right now is profitable under the bankruptcy trustee Nils Åberg.

– My first priority is to break to be able to last until July 10, he said.

From that date he does not count that mining will be profitable anymore. That, as it happens to a halving of the number of Bitcoin a bitcoingrävare get a block that is found in the so-called block chain.

According to Nils Åberg are several companies interested in taking over KNC Miners business and he believes that there are good opportunities for a new owner to operate the company profitably, particularly on the reform of reduced energy tax for data centers that are discussed are carried out.

KNC Miner was founded in 2013 to sell the equipment to calculate the digital currency Bitcoin. The company was successful with the sale of its bitcoingrävare. For a few months in autumn 2013 sold it to an excavator for a quarter of a billion. But even then there were plans to instead use its technology to build their own bitcoingruva instead of selling hardware.

The following year KNC opened its first data center in Boden for bitcoinutvinning. Since then, two more data centers built in the city and an additional hall was planned.

Meanwhile, the KNC Miner, along with including Facebook, included in the marketing of northern Sweden as the location for data centers of activity of the organization The Node Pole. If the bankruptcy trustee can find someone who wants to pursue its activities also will mean a setback, but The Node Pole’s CEO Erik Lundström believes in continued growth.

– This is a notch in the curve, he says.

also, he hopes for a reduction in energy tax for the data center so that it is at the same level as that for the primary industry.

in order to finance the large expansion has KNC Miner raised venture capital in several rounds from investors Creandum, GP Bullhound and Accel partners. According to Di Digital, the company has received 220 million crowns on the road. 125 million of them were placed as late as early last year.

The company has for cuts earlier in the year about 35 employees, including 17 working in data centers in Boden. But Constance suffer not only the possible redundancies. According to the newspaper Norrländska Social Democrat, is also expected electricity in the municipality become more expensive due to the KNC Miner no longer will buy the surplus Constance Energi.

In addition to assets in the form of bitcoingrävare in data centers has KNC Miner also a storage Bitcoin worth “a few million” according to the bankruptcy trustee.

Oracle lost the lawsuit against Google – 99mac

Oracle’s dispute with Google about sökjättens use of Java technology in Android platform has completed, and Oracle loses on all counts.

Oracle and Google have waged a bitter legal battle since 2010. the basis of the dispute is based on Google using Java technology when they created the Android platform. Java was created by Sun Microsystems, and when the company was acquired by Oracle in 2010 began immediately a legal process against Google.

In the dispute claiming Oracle that Google has copied the core components of the Java outright, and has for many years made money through the Android platform in an improper manner. The two companies have already made up in court in 2012, where the central issue was whether a company will have the right to protect developing interfaces (APIs).

Oracle initially lost the appeal, but an appeal then gave Oracle the right which forced Google to change strategy. The new strategy was to argue that the use of these developing interfaces considered fair use (fair use) when the Java platform is open.

The HTC-built phone G1 was the first Android operating system, an operating system that Oracle claims contains code stolen from the Java platform .

the new strategy proved to be a winning one, and Oracle lost on all points. Oracle had won the dispute, Google had been forced to pay massive damages, speculation indicates $ 9 billion as a potential figure. The external companies that use Android in their products would also risk falling into their own legal battles, with their own damages or expensive settlements as a result.

Oracle has announced that it intends to submit an appeal , so once the dispute is not over, but the verdict is nonetheless a significant win for Google and the entire Android ecosystem.

Facebook and Microsoft adds 660 mil long cable in the sea – IDG.se

Now Facebook and Microsoft cable pals. The project is called Marea, which means tides in Spanish, and is about to build a high-capacity cable from northern Virginia in the United States to Bilbao in Spain.

It becomes the longest high-speed cable in the Atlantic with its 660 mil.

And it is not only long, it is fast too. The bandwidth is 160 terabits per second – or 16 million times faster than a standard internet connection at home says news site Wired.

the cable will be an important component of the corporate infrastructure that they simply should be able to pass around the huge amounts of data that result from their rapidly expanded boundary cloud business with significant expansion of data centers around the world.

Facebook to keep track of data from 1.6 billion användre and Microsoft will keep running services like Azure, Xbox Live and Office 365 Support.

Microsoft says in a statement that the new construction will also increase interoperability with other network equipment leading to “lower costs and make it easier to upgrade equipment because the systems can be developed at the same pace as the optical technology develops.”

Last year’s models were released in the September and then came out of the store shortly after, so something similar happens enough this year. The focus will probably be on what’s new in Android N, then certainly there will be support for Google’s VR platform Daydream. Pixel C does not appear to come at all in the current situation.

P8 little
? When will marchmallow 6.0 to Huawei P8 little to Sweden?
Erik Morner: We have contacted Huawei, but have not received any information about it. Huawei has no good track record of updates, so you will probably not have too high hopes

Galaxy S5 will be upgraded
Stefan: When will Android 6.0 for Samsung Galaxy S5
Daniel: Samsung has announced that the S5 will be upgraded to Android 6, but no timetable is not. The reason is, according to Samsung they can not give an exact time for the quality testing to do before the update is released determines when it is ready for release. In addition S5 will also Note4, Note Edge, neo S5, S5 + S5 Mini, A3, A5 and J5 and the tablets TAB S, S2 TAB and TAB A few Android Marshmallow. Galaxy S6 and S7 series has already received Android Marshmallow.

Location based alarm
Per-Olof Olsson: “Do you know any alarm app that takes into account where you are. Had one in my Samsung S3 ltr. have now an LG G5 and can not find that it has such a function.
on the old you could ask for. ex. morning wake-up that only rang when I was home. Then you need not switch off the alarm if one was away and then run the risk of forgetting to turn it back on. Have been looking in the play store but did not find anyone with that feature. ”
Daniel: http://amdroidapp.com/ seems to have what you are looking for

New smartphone
Oldschool: “Hey! Have any questions about the android, but thought first explain my situation. Have no smartphone today, but feel I want to stop using my key mobile now, while we’re in 2016 the smartphone age. Thought acquire an android, because I think the iPhone is too expensive and Lumia handsets is not something that interests me. I’m no so-called fanboy or hater or whatever it is called, but has always bothered me about privacy and security, and always including felt a little bit anti-Google, because the monitoring / mapping. (Using eg start page instead of Google, Spotify instead of YouTube when it comes to music,) if I acquire an android, in addition acquire subscription, am I really at the mercy of Google go?
Question 1. Does Google part of everything I Texting and calling to my friends? Have me Google do when you use Gmail, but I do not use Gmail, so I do not know.
second Can I do anything about it? If for my there are apps such signal, or whatever it’s called, and the like, these apps help me even if my friends have the apps? (My friends do not use such apps)

4th Antivirus software from the bigger companies (type norton) it is possible to obtain outside Google Play and needed antivirus software today?

(Note I do not want to roota phone) I have for me, I have heard that it should work with adblockplus, but on their page it says that it does not work over 3G / 4G networks, but I have been for me to get around it . I want to be able to block advertising I’ve heard that there may be adverse named in the advertisement (however never understood if it is only when you press advertisement or whether it is enough that they are on the side) Sorry for the long text, but you feel a little outdated with a button phone today, but would not compromise on security and privacy. Hope you in the newsroom or in the comment field can help me. Happy holidays and thanks in advance. Hello old man

Elias:
first No.
second Many chatappar have encrypted data by default so that no will be able to intercept you.
third Most Android phones can rootas, and then you can install applications from external app stores, but it is only then you seriously exposes you to the risk of viruses and malware, so generally it is better to go through Google, which requires a Google Account.
4th If you install apps from external marketplaces you’ll need antivirus software. I would guess that they are going to install externally. 5. It is only if you click on advertising to get themselves into bad things. otherwise, I have bad eye on adblockers. I probably would not dare to install an external source of if I was not very sure that it was not malicious software.

Z2 updated?
Noel: Sony will update sony Xperia Z2 Android N
Elias: It seems unlikely, then it will be almost three years old when Android N is released.

update and apps via 4G
System updates: Hi! I have read that there is a limit of 100 MB when it comes to apps. So you can not download an app on the 4G network that is larger than 100 MB, is that correct? I do not really care so much about it, but want to be able to download system updates / OS updates over the 4G network anyway. This limit of 100 MB, it is a recommendation that you should download it over WiFi network or is it forced? I wonder because I have a generous data subscriptions and had thought me clear my mind on it without a wifi at home. Do not know about mobile model plays a role, but was thinking get me a nexus Huawei 6p
Elias: Njaej. The limit of 100 MB is the size of the initial download file will be. Then you can install file once you have downloaded the download additional data. For large applications, and the limit is already at 50 MB, you receive a warning and a call to wait to download until you have WLAN, but the call you can choose to ignore and download anyway. Then drive on!

Security
Daniel: How much Google is working with the security of Android? I still feel like there is far to go before it will be as safe as iOS?
Daniel: Just as much as Apple does arguably. Loading not the rubbish outside the Google Play Store is in almost all cases completely safe. Regarding safety in general as Android is itself only a part of it all. This past year it has reached the right number of data indicate that manufacturers various scale and bundled apps are those that in many cases security gaps. In this way, can not really be blamed for Android is a third-party manufacturers put in their phone.

Japan
Daniel: How popular is Android (Android phones) in Japan? Read something about the iPhone is the most popular.
Elias: Android and iOS have been taking turns to be the most popular in Japan, but right now it is almost exactly 50/50, with the other system negligible.

greatest
Daniel: How big is the Android compared to iOS? What is the greatest of Google Play and the App Store?
Elias: It depends on where you look. Looking at the world as a whole, Android is much higher, but in Sweden is greater Ios. App stores are probably about the equivalent of apps at this point.

Xperia X
Daniel: How do you think Sony will succeed in the new Xperia X Series?
Elias: Wheat hell. It feels like mobiles besides new chipset most appear as deterioration compared to their predecessors, no matter how nice they are. Xperia X is no longer watertight, and X Performance is thicker but still received less battery compared with the Z5. On the other hand, Xperia X once you have it in your hand a phone that is easy to like. It depends on whether people go on specs or clamp & amp; feel when they should buy.

Yotaphone
Jens: “Hello! Is yotaphone 2 something to focus on now that the price is ca2700nr?”
Daniel: It’s a bit aged hardware, but still fully functional (based on the specifications that we have not tested it extensively). But Yotaphone buy hardly the specifications but for the cool extra screen, so if that appeals to you, it can probably be worth it.

Screen Protectors
Protect: Maybe a little off- topic because it is not just android os, but in any case. Which display protection do you recommend? I am most worried about getting scratches, because it has happened before .. Is the glass or plastic is best when it comes to avoiding scratches? Does it directly to matter how much money / what brand I get? Copter and the invisibleSHIELD, and similar plastic, I have heard of some that it is good, but I have heard some say that their phones have been damaged by moisture spray .. Should we bet on the glass? Can I buy cheap glasses, or is there a risk that the glass självspricker on the table (type any xperia-Mobile did) and damage the phone’s display?
Daniel: Screen Protector whatever kind gives a little more protection for the real screen glass (because protection for the most part takes the hit instead), and if it breaks, you can just replace it (instead of the expensive task of replacing the screen). Is it just scratches you want to avoid should you bet on glass that are generally more resistant to scratches. Dampness and self dot screens spirit of using screen protector sounds like pure hittepå. Existing brands may be an idea to go on just the little more well known brands to be sure to get it right measure / sense bracket, etc. against the very cheapest types.

Daniel: It’s a bit aged hardware, but still fully functional (based on the specifications that we have not tested it extensively). But Yotaphone buy hardly the specifications but for the cool extra screen, so if that appeals to you, it can probably be worth it.

Screen Protectors
Protect: Maybe a little off- topic because it is not just android os, but in any case. Which display protection do you recommend? I am most worried about getting scratches, because it has happened before .. Is the glass or plastic is best when it comes to avoiding scratches? Does it directly to matter how much money / what brand I get? Copter and the invisibleSHIELD, and similar plastic, I have heard of some that it is good, but I have heard some say that their phones have been damaged by moisture spray .. Should we bet on the glass? Can I buy cheap glasses, or is there a risk that the glass självspricker on the table (type any xperia-Mobile did) and damage the phone’s display?
Daniel: Screen Protector whatever kind gives a little more protection for the real screen glass (because protection for the most part takes the hit instead), and if it breaks, you can just replace it (instead of the expensive task of replacing the screen). Is it just scratches you want to avoid should you bet on glass that are generally more resistant to scratches. Dampness and self dot screens spirit of using screen protector sounds like pure hittepå. Existing brands may be an idea to go on just the little more well known brands to be sure to get it right measure / sense bracket, etc. against the very cheapest types.

Then we take and end the chat today . Thanks to all participants!

Microsoft adds giant cable in the Atlantic – Dagens Industri

The cable should go from the US east coast city of Virginia Beach and Spanish major city of Bilbao. It is expected to be ready for use in 2017 and called the Marea, which means tides in Spanish.

However, it is not only on the length Marea is large. The physical width of the wire is comparable to a greenhouse.

And even transmission capacity is deemed giant. In full use should Marea able to send about 160 terabytes per second, compared with 337 terabytes per second in the present situation is the capacity to transmit over the Atlantic Ocean.

Today is calculated Internet traffic account for a larger share of the transatlantic communication than telephone traffic does. Two thirds of all under-Atlantic communication is deemed to come from Internet companies. In 2010 they accounted for only a fifth of communications traffic over the Atlantic, according to USA Today.

It was 2010 as the trend of adding internet cables under the water began in earnest. Then la Google a cable in the Pacific. The cable went from the US to Japan and called Unity. Now, Google has a total of five submarine cables, which a couple are under production.

In addition, Microsoft four underwater cables, this two and Amazon one.

Google won the battle against Oracle in Java The row – IDG.se

For years the quarrel going on between the two IT giants, between the lawyers and the news media. Was it okay by Google to, without paying license fees, use of 37 Java APIs in Android? Obviously, Google said, it is within the scope of fair use (fair use). Not at all, claiming Oracle and called party 72 billion in damages.

After tough negotiations, and closing arguments in court, the jury has now come to a decision. Google is freed completely from allegations of copyright infringement when they used 11,500 lines of Java code in the Android operating system. The copying of parts of the Java platform is to ensure that reasonable use, writes IDG News. One new feature that learns received with joy among developers who often relies on free access to APIs for developing third party services.

The jury was unanimous in its decision but this does not mean that the last word in the conflict between the two companies. Oracle’s lawyers were quick to announce that they will appeal the ruling. According to them, there are legal grounds to review the case again and question marks that need to be sorted out.

“We are confident that Google developed Android by illegally copying core Java technology to hurry into the mobile market. Oracle took this to court to put an end to Google’s unlawful conduct, “said Dorian Daley, one of the company lawyers.

Google has asserted its right to refer to the wording of fair use. Making it possible to use creative works, where Java is counted, in certain, limited circumstances. Normally used for satire and for training purposes.

The jury was primarily four factors to consider. Among other things, the use of just being a simple processing or if they created something new that significantly differed from the original code? Or the extent to which Android damaged the Java market. According to Google, it was rather Suns failures that made them entered the smartphone land spirit, not Android’s fault.

Since this was a civil trial where the burden of proof on Google slightly lower. It was enough that most evidence pointed to reasonable use. Had there been a criminal process would have required evidence to put the question beyond a reasonable doubt.

New data on technology to find the crashed plane – New Technology

French Navy ships Laplace is on the way with search equipment to the sea where it crashed Egyptair plane and its black boxes can be found.

There are now new information on the equipment the French company Alseamar will use to pick up signals from the black boxes of the crashed Egyptair plane.

According to France24, three experts from Alseamar be on board the French Navy hydrographic ship Laplace, who is now on the way from Corsica to the search area in the eastern Mediterranean.

the ship is said to be equipped with three big interception probes. The systems called Detector 6000, and are made of Alseamar to including the black boxes containing technical data and sound recordings from the plane.

The probes can be lowered 300 meters in the water and could hear sounds of 4-5 kilometers. After a while, they are taken up again. The recorded audio information is then downloaded to and processed in computers.

According to France24 considering the French Navy is also sending a submarine as well as other equipment that can be used for salvaging objects from great depths.

Another company, Deep OpenSearch, said to be about to be contracted to search in a neighboring area.

According to Egyptian accident investigators have already managed to pick up signals from the plane’s locator beacons, called Emergency locator transmitter (ELT). It helps to narrow the search area to a radio for about five kilometers. ELT transmitter is however independent of the black boxes.

Alsemar has so far chosen not to comment on their mission in the Mediterranean.

Mainframe with floppy governing US nuclear – New Technology

A 53-year-old IBM Series 1 mainframe using floppy disks coordinates the US nuclear use, notes alarmed US General Accounting.

U.S. Government Accountability Office, the GAO, the equivalent of our National Audit has investigated everything was more money spent on maintenance of IT systems in the US administration – and has come to the frightening results.

The maintenance and operation of the old system has become increasingly expensive and a drain on the resources to invest in modern iT systems.

GAO found almost unimaginably old iT systems, many of them over 50 years old. In some of them are still used 8-inch floppy disks for data storage, such as the mainframe IBM Series 1 that the Defense Department uses to coordinate the country’s nuclear activities, as intercontinental missiles, nuclear-armed bombers and refueling planes.

Here’s authority at least plan to update the data storage technology to the end of 2017.

Tax Agency uses computer systems that are older than 56 years. These IBM machines still written code in assembly language. The tax authorities have no plans to update the system.

Other authorities are running about 50 years old machines and programming in Cobol. The Department of Justice runs a 35-year old system using Cobol, but also Java. This provides for an update to be completed in September this year.

GAOs report briefly here.
