It's been a wild past few years for cryptocurrency. And these days, while Bitcoin still takes up the spotlight — there are so many different alt-currencies that have sprouted up, too. Some of them even spired by memes and television shows. But, is this all a good thing or a bad thing?On one hand, cryptocurrency has some serious upside. For unstable economies, it provides the stability needed for their market to thrive — despite its own volatility. Its decentralized governance, by design, makes it a virtual currency that we can trust, in a sense. And its privacy and security features are meant to make it less susceptible to fraud and corruption. But there are some drawbacks that are just as big. It's not completely susceptible to fraud — and one recent rug-pull scam saw billions of dollars in paper value disappear in an instant. Bitcoin miners also end up using more energy in a matter of minutes than most tech companies use in an entire year. And some of cryptocurrency's biggest power users are members of serious organized crime networks.We'll cover all of this — and more — in this episode dissecting the ups and downs of cryptocurrency.***This episode is brought to you by:Vidyard: The Top Video Tool for SaaS Marketing and Sales http://vidyard.com/rocketshipNetSuite: NetSuite by Oracle is a scalable solution to run all of your key back office operations.

The internal documents now known as The Facebook Papers, or Facebook Files, are a damning documentation of how the social media giant knowingly causes real world harm. Examples include measures to suppress hateful, deceptive content are lifted after the American presidential election in 2020, as the pro-Trump group “Stop the Steal,” which disputes the legitimacy of the election, experience “meteoric” growth. A dummy test account on Facebook in India is flooded with violent anti-Muslim propaganda - leading researchers to seeing more pictures of dead bodies than they have in their entire lives.A trove of internal Facebook documents reveals that the social media giant has privately and meticulously tracked real-world harms exacerbated by its platforms, ignored warnings from its employees about the risks of their design and algorithmic decisions and exposed vulnerable communities around the world to dangerous content. The Facebook Papers were leaked by Frances Haugen, a former data scientist at Facebook, who copied thousands of pages of internal documents and webpages before she left the company. Then she shared those materials with The Wall Street Journal, which began publishing stories about them last month under the heading “The Facebook Files.” Weeks later, she began to parcel the materials out to a variety of news organizations. The files have now come to be known as “The Facebook Papers,” A mix of presentations, research studies, discussion threads and strategy memos, the Facebook Papers provide an unprecedented view into how executives at the social media giant weigh trade-offs between public safety and their own bottom line. Some of the documents were first reported by the Wall Street Journal.Finally we’ll cover Facebooks rebrand to Meta - a hopeful shift in focus to the next technological frontier of AR / VR and Web3.***This episode is brought to you by:Vidyard: The Top Video Tool for SaaS Marketing and Sales http://vidyard.com/rocketshipNetSuite: NetSuite by Oracle is a scalable solution to run all of your key back office operations.

Today, we're diving into the deep and dark world of data and privacy. The internet is filled with bad actors intent on harvesting data with intents varying from selling to the highest bidder to influencing elections. Big tech companies like Facebook and Google are able to track everything we do online (and offline). Do we even have privacy anymore? Thankfully, there are companies actively working to make it easier for us, the consumers, to control our data and governments are not only enacting data privacy laws like GDPR, there is a growing movement around actual ownership of our data and taxing companies who use it and profit off of it - returning proceeds back to the people. So how do we move forward in a world where data is the new oil?

While we started with the Lawsuits, today I want to take a different look at the concept of Anti-trust, focusing on a place where trust has been broken amongst the entrepreneurial community. Hustle Culture promotes this idea that if you work around the clock and live on 2 hours of sleep a day, the world will be your oyster and you'll be rich, famous and powerful. We now have an entire generation that is living without a safety net and forced into this world of non-stop hustle. In reality, these lies can be destructive - but the results aren't apparent until it's too late. ***This episode is brought to you by:Vidyard: The Top Video Tool for SaaS Marketing and Sales http://vidyard.com/rocketshipNetSuite: NetSuite by Oracle is a scalable solution to run all of your key back office operations.

Today we’re going to explore how the internet has evolved to both democratize access to information, leading to incredible breakthroughs, and be a platform for spreading mass misinformation at rates and scales we’ve never seen before. At times, the internet represents the best part of humanity on display. One country releases the genetic sequence of a virus that’s spreading globally and scientists around the world get to work creating a never-before-created vaccine using technology that has never been used to produce a vaccine before. However, it also helped the spread of misinformation about that very vaccine, false information that is preventing almost 30% of the population in the United States from receiving it. The business of fake news has been around for hundreds of years, but now Google’s display ad network allows for these sites to easily monetize the millions of eyeballs searching for answers, especially at an unprecedented time like we’re seeing during this ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. And the thing is… it doesn’t matter if that eyeball believes what they’re reading or if they’re reading it in disbelief. If that article is being talked about it’s making money.So where do we go from here?

Technology’s rapid advance has undermined society’s foundations. As misinformation spreads, privacy vanishes, and counterfeit goods proliferate, science promises us further advances, from stronger artificial intelligence to neuralink implants and quantum computing. More upheaval is on its way.But the same advances that have created these hard problems have also connected people the world over, democratized information access, and let small businesses expand nationally and even globally. And without cutting-edge technologies, we wouldn’t have the mRNA vaccines that are helping to curb a global pandemic.This season we’re looking at the good, the bad, and the ugly of technology and examining the potential effects of governments attempting to rein in some of the largest companies' global influence.***This episode is brought to you by:Vidyard: The Top Video Tool for SaaS Marketing and Sales http://vidyard.com/rocketshipNetSuite: NetSuite by Oracle is a scalable solution to run all of your key back office operations.

Compiler is an original podcast from Red Hat discussing tech topics big, small and strange. In this episode, Angela Andrews and Brent Simoneaux dive into whether or not managers should learn to code. They speak with Red Hatters who are vocal about what role, if any, that managers have in the code base—and why they fight to keep their hands on keys for as long as they can.Check out Compiler wherever you listen to podcasts.
