Stranger Things’ next season won’t arrive until summer 2019


If you’ve been waiting anxiously to follow the adventures of Eleven and her friends as they battle monsters from another dimension in the town of Hawkins, I’ve got some bad news for you: season three of Netflix’ 80s-themed sci-fi show Stranger Things will skip 2018 and air next summer instead. That’s from Entertainment Weekly, which reported the delay it heard about from Cindy Holland, who heads up original programming at Netflix. She promised that the next season will be bigger, better, filled with more special effects, and “worth the wait.” Given that it’ll be some 18 months between seasons two and three,…

Smart contract hacks cost millions — this company wants to fix it


Last November, a user accidentally froze around 514,000 ETH (worth approx. $155 million) in Parity, a popular Ethereum wallet. The culprit was a bug in the wallet’s software, which the user in question accidentally triggered. This wasn’t the first incident on the Parity wallet. Only months earlier, another bug in Parity’s software enabled hackers to get away with 150,000 ETH (approx. $30 million). Neither is Parity the only Ethereum application that has suffered from smart contract vulnerabilities. In 2016, in the famous DAO hack, hackers got away with 3.6 million ETH, 15 percent of all Ether in circulation at the…

Investing in creative VR storytelling


The UK’s VR industry is expected to grow by 76% to reach £801m by 2021 making it the largest and fastest-growing VR industry of any country in EMEA. This is why we’re seeing more programmes emerge such as the one spearheaded by Digital Catapult and Arts Council England, which just announced the shortlist that received a total of £350,000 in funding to develop immersive storytelling experiences. These projects have all graduated from the CreativeXR programme, which was created to encourage content makers to explore creative storytelling in immersive mediums such as Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality. Designed to raise artistic and technical ambition, the…

Branded Worlds: how technology recentralized entertainment

I love Hollywood box-office numbers because they provide a hard statistical view of cultural currents. Did you know, for instance, that there had never been a weekend when 8 of the top 10 movies in America were sequels — until this month? Or that, while almost 400 movies were released in the first half of […] https://ift.tt/2LLgvQx support@endlesssupplies.ca (Endless Supplies .Ca) July 29, 2018 at 04:30PM

The ancient story of Spartacus offers a great example for better online anonymity


The Third Servile War was over. The slave army had been defeated, and their Roman captors offered the survivors a pardon. The only requirement was that they identify Spartacus, their leader (a sun-bronzed, cleft-chinned Kirk Douglas). Rather than give away his identity, however, each of them cried out “I’m Spartacus!”—thus preserving his anonymity. The Romans could not identify him; they could not discern which of the men standing before them had been the leader of the rebellion. (Spoiler alert: they all die as a result.) In short, their actions ensured a crucial part of Spartacus’ privacy—his right to be forgotten. The…
