What mobile payment means for personal data security and privacy?

When we are thinking about data security and mobile payment, we must know that there is the new wave of discussion about privacy on the Internet. The mobile telephone can become the new combination of wallet and ID-papers, and when we are thinking the things that way, we must know that this makes strong identification of user easier and harder to break than ever before. The mobile telephone can get the biometric identification algorithm like fingerprints and face image from official authorities, and then this telephone can use them for verifying the telephone user's information, what it would get from the camera and fingerprint detector.


And when the user wants to take new telephone in use, this person takes the selfie and then gives the fingerprint to that telephone, and if they match with the data, what is stored in the police files, the telephone can be used as the strong ID-card, what is very safe for payments. If some wrong person takes this telephone in the hand, would it make alarm?


Of course, hackers can break this system, but same way normal credit card can be tracked. When we are thinking about the privacy of the user of this system, we must say that every shopping and other payments, where is used credit- or bank cards can be tracked to some particular person. Same way the paper money can be tracked by using serial numbers and compiling them with the bank cards, what were used in bank automatics.


Privacy is the very interesting question, and always we forget the golden rule of the data security. Never make exceptions, and if you want to keep some payments hidden, don't use Market's customer cards, where you can collect points. And ever buy any of the products, what you want to hide, from the place, where other people knows you. The persons who are looking targets for surveillance would also look for exceptions in the way of payment. If some person uses credit- or bank card all the time, the use of the cash automatic would give the tip for those persons, that this person is planned to buy something, what this person wants to hide.


And as you see, the privacy is the problematic thing, bank or credit cards are the safe way to pay because even if they were stolen, the thief would not do anything with them if they would not get the PIN-code in their hands. The big number of cash makes person easy target for robbery and thief, and this means, that even if cash is safe in the point of view of privacy, but also that makes the person exposed to physical violence.


This is one point for mobile pay and mobile id-card. And they might be real in the near future when we are talking about the situation, that we are leaving our wallets home, and use the mobile telephones in every action, what were used by cards, which were found in wallets. Technology for that advantage already exists, and the attitudes with some limitations of laws what limits to delivering official data to the mobile systems are limiting the use of the mobile telephone for every action, what was used by the ban- and ID-cards.

The LK-99 could be a fundamental advance even if it cannot reach superconductivity in 400K.

The next step in superconducting research is that LK-99 was not superconducting at room temperature. Or was it? The thing is that there is needed more research about that material. And even if it couldn't reach superconductivity in 400K that doesn't mean that material is not fundamental. And if LK-99 can maintain its superconductivity in 400K that means a fundamental breakthrough in superconducting technology.  The LK-99 can be hype or it can be the real thing. The thing is, anyway, that high-voltage cables and our electric networks are not turning superconducting before next summer. But if we can change the electric network to superconducting by using some reasonable material. That thing can be the next step in the environment. Superconductors decrease the need to produce electricity. But today cooling systems that need lots of energy are the thing that turn superconductors that need low temperatures non-practical for everyday use.  When the project begins there is lots of ent

Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.

 Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.  Black holes and gravitational waves: is black hole's singularity at so high energy level that energy travels in one direction in the form of a gravitational wave.  We normally say that black holes do not send radiation. And we are wrong. Black holes send gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are wave movement or radiation. And that means the black holes are bright gravitational objects.  If we can use water to illustrate the gravitational interaction we can say that gravitational waves push the surface tension out from the gravitational center. Then the other quantum fields push particles or objects into a black hole. The gravitational waves push energy out from the objects. And then the energy or quantum fields behind that object push them into the gravitational center.  The elementary particles are quantum fields or whisk-looking structures. If the gravitational wave is

The CEO of Open AI, Sam Altman said that AI development requires a similar organization as IAEA.

We know that there are many risks in AI development. And there must be something that puts people realize that these kinds of things are not jokes. The problem is how to take control of the AI development. If we think about international contracts regarding AI development. We must realize that there is a possibility that the contract that should limit AI development turns into another version of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. That treaty didn't ever deny the escalation of nuclear weapons. And there is a big possibility that the AI-limitation contracts follow the route of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.  The biggest problem with AI development is the new platforms that can run every complicated and effective code. That means the quantum computer-based neural networks can turn themselves more intelligent than humans. The AI has the ultimate ability to learn new things. And if it runs on the quantum-hybrid system that switches its state between binary and quantum states,
