How Bitcoin Paper Wallets Provide Protection Against Cyber Attacks?

Paper Wallets For Bitcoin Storage
There are dozens of decentralized wallet apps available over the internet that let you store Bitcoins. All these digital wallets claim to provide top-notch security to Bitcoin transactions and the stored BTC amount which they actually do. But being a digital entity, you just can’t deny the possibility of a cyber attack no matter how trivial it is. Alas, there have been plenty of malicious activities and hacking attempts in the past that it raised some serious security concern regarding the storage of BTC.

There’s no denying that the digital entities are more prone to cyber attacks. So there’s always some risk involved when it comes to storing your valuable assets in a digital entity. But there has to be another way to store your Bitcoins safely instead of storing these on Bitcoin wallets. Actually, there is!


Introducing Paper Wallet

Blockchain Development Solutions



The advent of Blockchain has brought a new financial revolution in the world of digital remittances. Primarily used for storing and facilitating transactions in cryptocurrencies, Blockchain is a publically shared distributed ledger that stores information in a decentralized way, forming a Peer-to-Peer network. Blockchain stores information in a series of blocks that are electronically linked to form an extensive database. The data once stored on blockchain can never be deleted or modified. This makes it an impregnable digital ledger as it creates a permanent and tamper-proof record of stored information that can’t be altered at any point of time.



While blockchain was initially built to be used in the cryptocurrency domain, the highly versatile nature of Blockchain has led to the change in picture. Turns out that blockchain can be effectively used in a large number of applications even outside the cryptocurrency landscape. Some existing use cases of Blockchain include Digital Identity, eVoting, Peer-to-Peer Lending, Asset Management, Distributed Cloud Storage and Smart Contracts.

The AI Telescope of NASA Makes A Breakthrough In Planet Hunting

The AI Telescope of NASA Makes A Breakthrough In Planet Hunting
The Kepler telescope deployed by NASA has reportedly made a big discovery in planet hunting. However, the news hasn’t been disclosed to anyone and is kept confidential even within the organization. NASA is holding a huge press conference to reveal the latest finding of the AI powered telescope most probably by the coming Thursday.

The Kepler telescope was launched in 2009 and since then, it has helped in making many crucial discoveries. The sole aim to deploy this telescope was to look for the planets that might support life. Many exoplanets have been discovered by this telescope which uses Machine Learning algorithms powered by Google to demonstrate new ways of analysing Kepler data. Although no significant announcements have been made by NASA so far, it must be related to discovery of a new exoplanet. The actual findings will only be revealed in the press conference.


What Are Exoplanets?
An extrasolar planet or simply exoplanet is a planet that has its own solar system and revolves around its own star. These are the Earth-like celestial bodies located millions of light years away. According to scientists, these planets are our best hope of finding alien life far from Earth. The first exoplanet was discovered in 1992 and as of 2017, more than 3700 extrasolar planets have been discovered. Out of these, more than 2000 exoplanets have been detected by the Kepler telescope. Now with the latest discovery, NASA is all set to take the whole world by storm.

 
Machine Learning Has A Crucial Role To Play
NASA reveals that Google’s Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence has a played a significant role in the latest discovery made by the space agency. The data sent down by the telescope is directly being analysed by the AI systems powered by Google at the NASA headquarters. As revealed by the space agency, it has previously helped in the discovery of many exoplanets and as the Machine Learning is getting smarter

How To Enable Closed Captioning On Roku

How To Enable Closed Captioning On Roku
The closed captioning (CC) feature on Roku displays the text on screen for the spoken elements, background noises or sound effects in a movie or TV show. These captions basically provide subtitles for everything you see on screen. The feature provides an important means of entertainment for those who are deaf or hard of hearing. It is also useful in understanding the dialogues of a movie or TV show in case they sound is not clear or the dialogues are difficult to understand.

The closed captions can be turned off or on even during the playback. However, the feature is not available on all the Roku channels. It is solely dependent on whether the service provider is including them or not. So you must check the availability of closed captions with your service provider. In this blog, we’ll provide important information on how you can turn on or off the closed captions on Roku.


Enabling Closed Captions On Roku
Closed Captions on Roku channels won’t show up unless you have enabled the closed captioning feature on Roku. For most of the channels, you can activate closed captioning from your Roku device settings. To enable this setting, follow the below given steps.

  • Go to Settings by scrolling up or down.
  • Go to Accessibility settings. If Accessibility is not listed, select Captions.
  • Select Caption Mode and take the appropriate action.

If you turn ‘on’ the Captions, they will always appear whenever you play something on a channel that offers closed captioning. If you turn it off, the captions will never appear. You can also select On Replay which would display the captions only when you press the Replay button on your Roku TV remote. You can also select the When Mute option. Doing that would show the captions only when the volume is muted. However, the last option is only available in select Roku devices.

Google AI Made Its Own Child AI That Outruns Itself

Google AI Made Its Own Child AI That Outruns Itself
Artificial Intelligence is progressing at a rapid pace. Owing to its importance, Google has also been working on making AI tools to keep up with the pace. It has unveiled an AI system which has created  its own Child AI which is better than its human-made systems.

In essence, it can replicate itself and has the potential to compete with other man-made AI tools . This offspring AI has also been successful to outperform its parent AI (AutoML project by Google).

In May 2017, Google made an announcement that AutoML project had what it takes to create its own AIs. AutoML is an AI tool that acts as a controller neural network. NaSNet is an AI that was created by its parent AutoML earlier this year. Now, they have proved that it is better than its parent AI. AutoML of Google uses reinforced learning to make NaSNet, better in doing task.  

NaSNet can identify and recognise objects such as people and cars, backpacks, handbags, traffic lights etc while watching real time video with a significantly higher level of accuracy than a neural network designed by a human.

And, researchers have found that NASNet was 82.7 percent exact at identifying/detecting pictures on ImageNet's approval set. NASNet's outcomes are 1.2 percent superior to any beforehand distributed outcomes. It tells that NASNet is better as it has outperformed the majority of existing computer vision applications.



NASNet  is a visual machine learning AI. It could be used to help visually impaired people to regain sight. Such types of AIs could also be useful for designers to enhance self-driving car technologies. Thus, if it is fast in recognizing objects coming into its path, it will be equally faster to how to respond to them. Therefore, it could be in use of increasing car safety.


While such AIs are of great help to the society, we cannot deny the fact that it also raises serious concerns. What if, it becomes so smart that it could create hundreds of such AIs and what it can do with it. For instance, imagine a scenario in which AutoML makes AIs so quick that human culture can't keep up with. But NASNet could securely be applied in automated surveillance systems in the near future.
