According to CNBC, most experts predict that many big brands will participate in the Web 3.0 project, metaverse in 2022. "This will be the year when big brands see NFT as a key development goal." Lin Dai, CEO of music platform NFT OneOf, said.

In 2021, NFT is popular mainly in the music and arts sectors, but this year, this type of digital asset will expand to other industries. High-end fashion brand Balenciaga has teamed up with Fortnite to launch "skins" bearing the brand's signature. Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton and Gucci also partnered with Roblox to test product launches on the metaverse platform.

Brian Trunzo, head of metaverse at Polygon Studios, which develops gaming, NFT and Web 3.0 projects on the Polygon and Ethereum networks, thinks that even smaller fashion brands are slowly entering the market. this. "Players are fully present and now the game officially begins," he said.

According to Avery Akkineni, president of consulting firm VaynerNFT, the current goal of brands is to participate in the game, not to win, at least for now. Up until now, the blockchain-related projects of brands have largely been about building community and maintaining recognition. Nike and Adidas' NFT products are mainly for fame rather than revenue, but also contribute to the metaverse's greater popularity.

As businesses find their place in the virtual universe, the jobs involved are on the rise. Avery Akkineni has noticed that more and more jobs such as programmer for Solidity and manager for Discord are appearing. Solidity is a programming language used to write smart contracts in the Ethereum ecosystem, and Discord is a social network that is popular with gamers and the crypto community.

Besides, a new job also gradually appeared - playing games to earn money. This model is popular in the Philippines with the game Axie Infinity. Currently, the daily user base of this game is 1.8 million, many people earn $1,000 - $2,000 per month from playing Axie Infinity.

In the entertainment industry, games are the most attractive field with nearly 3 billion customers. Sky Mavis, the developer of Axie Infinity, is one of the leaders in combining NFT with games. Major developers, like GameStop, are also planning to enter the NFT market in the not-too-distant future.

In addition, some brands are also exploiting profits from games. Many players are willing to spend money to take care of their virtual representation in the game. The Dionysus bag sold on Roblox costs more than its real-life counterpart.

To be able to implement the above projects, infrastructure technology also needs to be more solid. By the end of 2021, Intel estimates that to deploy Web3 and the metaverse, current computer capacity must be increased 1,000 times. The increased number of online users on a server also resulted in hardware improvements. As a result, semiconductor companies like Intel and Nvidia will be key players as the metaverse evolves.

However, analysts warn, while NFT is entering a hot development phase, "crypto winter" could strike at any time. Akinneni said market demand is likely to slow down with fewer new projects by the end of 2022. Besides, the biggest barrier to the digital world this year is scalability, in the form of power. computation and interoperability between discrete and secure metaverses.

Cách đơn giản loại bỏ rỉ sét bằng điện phân

Điện phân là một cách đơn giản và hiệu quả để loại bỏ rỉ sét và phục hồi kim loại mà không làm hỏng bề mặt như chà nhám hoặc đánh bằng chổi cước thép. Điện phân hoạt động tốt nhất trên sắt và thép. Không nên điện phân trên thép không gỉ, vì nó có thể giải phóng khí crom độc hại. Điện phân hoạt động như thế nào Điện phân xảy ra khi một dòng điện trực tiếp, điện áp thấp (DC) được truyền qua hai mảnh kim loại lơ lửng trong dung dịch hóa học (chất điện phân). Dòng điện gây ra sự truyền ion giữa hai mảnh kim loại, phá vỡ rỉ sét trên kim loại nối với điện cực âm (cực âm) trong khi ăn mòn kim loại nối với điện cực dương (cực dương). Vì điện phân không ảnh hưởng đến kim loại bên dưới, nó hoàn hảo để làm sạch các công cụ, khôi phục đồ cổ và nới lỏng các bu lông bị rỉ sét. Vật liệu cần thiết cho điện phân Điện phân nên được thực hiện trong một khu vực có nhiều thông gió, vì nó giải phóng một lượng nhỏ khí hydro và oxy, có thể dễ cháy nếu chúng tích tụ. Để loại bỏ rỉ sét bằng điện phân, bạn sẽ cầ...

Các nhà khoa học đang cảnh báo mọi người về một hóa chất được tạo ra khi nấu một số loại thực phẩm phổ biến của gia đình. Họ nói rằng nó có thể làm tăng nguy cơ đau tim và đột quỵ lên 60%. Được gọi là Acrylamide, nó được sản xuất khi các loại thực phẩm như khoai tây, bánh mì và cà phê được đun nóng. Nó phổ biến trong carbohydrate bị cháy và gây ra bởi phản ứng giữa nhiệt và đường tự nhiên dẫn đến chuyển sang màu nâu. Tác dụng của Acrylamide Acrylamide được tìm thấy trong các bữa ăn được sản xuất thông qua nấu ăn công nghiệp, bao gồm thực phẩm siêu chế biến. Trong nhiều năm, đã có những lo ngại rằng acrylamide có thể tạo ra các phản ứng trong cơ thể có khả năng dẫn đến ung thư.

Brain chip technology can transform the smartphone industry

Neuralink was founded by billionaire Elon Musk, a company specializing in neural technology based in San Francisco. The company is developing a brain-computer interface to treat neurological ailments like Alzheimer's, dementia and spinal cord injuries. Essentially, this is a network of tiny electrodes linked to the brain, allowing humans to communicate wirelessly with everything and everyone around them. Those inexplicable beliefs, fears, hopes, anxiety, and abstractions will become clear thanks to Neuralink's technology. In addition, it can allow humans to communicate with animals. Last year, the company started testing the Neuralink chip in Gertrude pigs. This may be considered unethical by many, but when it is scientifically understood and what it really means, the chip transplantation will be accepted as any groundbreaking discovery human has ever witnessed. . Of course, that doesn't deny the fact that putting a chip in an animal brain - and in the future, the human bra...

PUBLIC CLOUD vs PRIVATE CLOUD

The services cloud computing are distinguished primarily in Public Cloud, Private Cloud and a composite form, called Hybrid Cloud. What are the advantages and disadvantages related to each solution? What would be the most appropriate service for your company? We start to see more in detail what are the available cloud types. Public cloud The public cloud is provided by an external provider that, through the Internet, makes available IT resources necessary to support the business of a company. It is a cloud infrastructure is shared by multiple users, in which the provider is also responsible for configuring and managing the service. Advantages: Lower costs One of the main benefits of the public cloud is very competitive costs, due to the elimination of the cost of purchasing and maintaining the IT infrastructure as well as the specialized personnel assigned to service management. Potentially unlimited scalability Resources are distributed "on demand", facilitating the cha...
