The stockmarket is now run by computers, algorithms and passive managers
by gianluca quaglia Oct. 3, 2019

Oct. 3, 2019

March of the machines The stockmarket is now run by computers, algorithms and passive managers Such a development raises questions about the function of markets, how companies are governed and financial stability FIFTY YEARS ago investing was a distinctly human affair. “People would have to take each other out, and dealers would entertain fund managers, and no one would know what the prices were,” says Ray Dalio, who worked on the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in the early 1970s before founding Bridgewater Associates, now the world’s largest hedge fund. Technology was basic. Kenneth Jacobs, the boss of Lazard, an investment bank, remembers using a pocket calculator to analyse figures gleaned from company reports. His older colleagues used slide rules. Even by the 1980s “reading the /Wall Street Journal/ on your way into work, a television on the trading floor and a ticker tape” offered a significant information advantage, recalls one investor.

Google contractors reportedly targeted homeless people for Pixel 4 facial recognition

Google contractors reportedly targeted homeless people for Pixel 4 facial recognition According to several sources who allegedly worked on the project, a contracting agency named Randstad sent teams to Atlanta explicitly to target homeless people and those with dark skin, often without saying they were working for Google, and without letting on that they were actually recording people’s faces. https://www.theverge.com/2019/10/2/20896181/google-contractor-reportedly-ta…

Whose deaths matter? New research on Black Lives Matter and media attention
by Giacomo Tesio Oct. 2, 2019

Oct. 2, 2019

Paper: https://ijoc.org/index.php/ijoc/article/view/8782 Blog post: https://medium.com/@EthanZ/whose-deaths-matter-new-research-on-black-lives-… Media coverage of deaths of unarmed people of color at the hands of police sharply increased after the high-profile death of Michael Brown. We analyze a novel set of media data to understand reasons for this rise and to postulate a shift in reporting that treats these deaths as part of a larger pattern, crystallized around the “key event” of Michael Brown’s death rather than as unconnected incidents. We see a “news wave” that resulted in increased coverage and sharing of stories about deaths of people of color at the hands of police that aligned with activist efforts such as the Black Lives Matter movement. Our quantitative methods suggest a mechanism for tracking effectiveness of activist efforts to change the framing of important social phenomena in the news. _____ Personalmente ho trovato molto interessante questo passaggio: When journalists compete to cover the same story, there’s a competition to cover the same facts in a new and interesting way. Understanding Walter Scott’s murder by officer Michael Slager not just as a horrific instance of police brutality but as part of a larger, nationwide narrative of a crisis in policing gave journalists a chance to distinguish their stories and movement leaders a chance to reframe the story.

Suggerisco di scaricare questi 3 volumi, in versione finale, del NIST su:"Cybersecurity Framework Manufacturing Profile Low Impact Level Example - Implementations Guide". Riporto per chiarezza una parte dell'abstract. "This guide provides general implementation guidance and example proof-of-concept solutions demonstrating how available open-source and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products could be implemented in manufacturing environments to satisfy the requirements in the Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) Manufacturing Profile Low Impact Level. ...."

Via Ferrero 31 – 10098 Rivoli (TO) www.teleion.it<http://www.teleion.it> ________________________________ From: NIST Computer Security Division <csrc.nist(a)service.govdelivery.com> Sent: martedì 1 ottobre 2019 16:10 To: Aldo Pedico Subject: Cybersecurity Framework Manufacturing Profile Low Impact Level Example Implementations Guide Released An Implementation Guide for the Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) Manufacturing Profile Low Impact Level has been developed for manufacturers managing cybersecurity risk that is aligned with manufacturing sector goals and industry best practices. Many small and medium-sized manufacturers have expressed challenges in implementing a standards-based cybersecurity program. The Guide drives the CSF Manufacturing Profile to practice and will enable manufacturers to select and deploy cybersecurity tools and techniques that best fit their needs while addressing the demanding system operational performance, reliability, and safety requirements. The Guide provides general implementation guidance (Volume 1) and two complete example proof-of-concept solutions demonstrating how available open-source and commercial off-the-shelf products can be implemented in manufacturing environments to satisfy the Guide’s requirements. Also included are the complete example proof-of-concept solutions with measured network, device, and operational performance impacts for a process-based manufacturing environment (Volume 2), and a discrete-based manufacturing environment (Volume 3), as well as example proof-of-concept cybersecurity policy and procedure documents. The volumes of this Guide (NISTIR 8183A, Cybersecurity Framework Manufacturing Profile Low Impact Level Example Implementations Guide) include: * Volume 1, General Implementation Guidance * Volume 2, Process-based Manufacturing System Use Case * Volume 3, Discrete-based Manufacturing System Use Case The CSF Manufacturing Profile—specified in NISTIR 8183—provides a voluntary, risk-based approach for managing cybersecurity activities and cyber risk to manufacturing systems. The Manufacturing Profile is meant to complement but not replace current cybersecurity standards and industry guidelines that the manufacturer is embracing.
