Still penalized by the high rates of the RAM memory, Groupe LDLC has unveiled its sales for the third quarter of its 2017-2018 fiscal year.
The retailer Lyon announces 141 million euros in revenue over the last three months, down 1.9% over the same period last year. Over the first nine months of the year, the total amounted to 356.5 million euros, against 364.9 million a year earlier.
The company also confirms the finalization of the acquisition of Olys (Bimp, GDA i-Tribu …) and its 18 stores devoted to Apple products. Also noteworthy is the departure in late February of Phillipe Sauze, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Groupe LDLC, who will not be replaced.
Since the announcement of these results, the company has experienced two complicated sessions on the stock market, with decreases of 4.42% and 4.73% respectively. Groupe LDLC is thus valued at approximately 115 million euros. A fall of nearly 30% over six months and 44.62% over one year.

Facebook is looking to tackle a market where it is lagging behind: streaming video games. For this, the social network has decided to seduce the streamers by giving them the necessary tools.
               
           
                             In the logic of the Creator App launched last year, which allows users to create and manage videos on the network, Facebook has announced the Gaming Creator Pilot Program. The principle here is to walk on the flowerbeds of market leaders like Twitch or YouTube. Thus, amateur or professional videographers can make live video (via Facebook Live) in 1080p and 60 fps, which was missing for the moment. Moreover, tools will be provided to them to better manage their community and especially to monetize their creation via advertising. This is the nerve of war. More than advertising, the opportunity to make live donations has also been implemented. Facebook ushered in the system on Saturday night with live games of H1Z1 with dozens of already popular streamers on the network. Facebook admits that there is still a lot of work to win in the gaming world against competitors already well established. Even if the network already hosts big creators of content, such as StoneMountain64, with a million followers. Facebook will try to seduce the public at the PAX East Conference, to be held next April in Boston.

This Thursday, February 1, 2018, Facebook will be tried in France for abusive censorship. A few years ago, the social network of Mark Zuckerberg had thought good to censure the painting "The Origin of the world", painted in 1866 by Gustave Courbet. Excluded from the social network, the user who posted this photo decided to drag Facebook to justice. Remember: on February 27, 2011, a father posted on his Facebook account a photograph of the famous painting by Gustave Courbet, entitled "The Origin of the World". The work represents a naked female sex, seen from the front. This shot did not please the very strict rules of use of Facebook. The social network quickly decided to censor the photo for "unacceptable nudity" and disable the user's account. He did not hear it that way: on October 4, 2011, he decided to sue Facebook in the name of freedom of expression on social networks.
Facebook has censored Gustave Courbet's "The origin of the world": the social network will be judged in France
Since then, the social network to 2 billion active users tried to escape the French justice by highlighting the address of its headquarters, located in California. Despite all his efforts, Facebook will finally be tried in France. Stéphane Cottineau, the user's lawyer dissatisfied, told AFP that this case will "require Facebook and all other foreign e-commerce companies that have this type of clause to change their contract." Gustave Courbet's painting, says the lawyer, is "a major work of the French cultural heritage".
As the lawyer pointed out, Facebook's bylaw explicitly prohibits representations "containing nudity" but according to him, the work of Courbet does not fit directly into this category. For the lawyer, "it is obviously a representation magnified, sublimated, by the talent of the artist." This is not the first time that Facebook is accused of mixing art and pornography. In October 2016, the social network censored breasts designed to prevent breast cancer. At the end of this case, the American giant could he relax its rules of use? Does Gustave Courbet's painting have its place on the social network? What do you think ?

Half a billion dollars in cryptocurrency NEM was pointed at the Japanese platform Coincheck, which ensures repayment to 260,000 customers affected. Security negligence would be involved.
        The equivalent of more than $ 500 million in NEM, which ranks as the world's tenth largest cryptocurrency, was siphoned off the Japanese Coincheck exchange platform on Friday, January 26, at 3 am local time. 260,000 customers are affected. Coincheck, one of the largest cryptotrading sites in the country, has limited withdrawals of all currencies and all non-bitcoin trading activities.
Coincheck has pledged to repay its customers with its own funds. Tokyo had regulated in April 2017 to order all crypto-exchange sites to register with the government. Pre-existing platforms, such as Coincheck, were allowed to continue their activities during the approval process of their application. That of Coincheck had been submitted in September 2017 and has not yet been followed.
Amount stolenIs it really the biggest cryptobapping in history?
The gross amount of stolen cryptocurrency actually exceeds MtGox's infamous robbery in 2014 and its $ 450 million at the time. However, the cryptocurrency market was valued at only $ 10 billion at the time against more than 550 billion today, making Coincheck piracy much less spectacular in proportion. In comparison, the physical robbery of the City Bonds in London in 1990 caused the theft of 292 million pounds, or $ 780 million today.
The NEM lost 23% of its value as a result of the attack before returning to its original value after a day. 500 million NMS were stolen while the cryptocurrency was priced at about $ 1 per unit. The value of the treasure is caused to fluctuate with time. The loot of MtGox, of which 650,000 bitcoins are still in the wild, is now almost $ 7 billion (!).

Normally, large quantities of cryptocurrency are stored for extra security in cold wallets, some sort of offline safes. However, like many cryptotrading platforms, Coincheck was overwhelmed by the influx of customers and could not keep up with infrastructure and staff. NMS have been warmed up in hot wallets, online portfolios.
However, these portfolios were devoid of multisignature, a rather important negligence of security. The multisig, of its small name, allows for example the following system: if Alice wants to send cryptocurrency to Bob, she transfers the funds on a multisig address. The two individuals must then "sign" jointly at this address for Bob to recover the money. If there is a dispute – let Alice have her wallet hacked and claim she never intended to give it to Bob – both parties are using a third party slice by signing one or the other.
Technical SolutionsHow did the developers of NEM react?
In the event of a major accident on a blockchain, it is customary for the development teams of the cryptodevise to perform a hard fork, that is to say, to split the chain of blocks in two to apply the equivalent state intervention and block misappropriated funds. This is what happened on Ethereum in 2016 with the bankruptcy of the DAO, investment fund that had to be bailed out after a massive piracy and caused the disconnection of the Ethereum Classic protesters.
Since hacking was linked to a particular platform vulnerability, the NEM team preferred to set up a tracking system to locate the loot. Imagine a security system in a bank that sprays an indelible spray on the burglars and ingots they steal. Thus, if hackers try to deposit their NEM on another platform to exchange or launder, this site can immediately know that it is dirty money. Applied retroactively to Coincheck siphoned bottoms, tracing would be effective for any subsequent NME robberies. The team congratulated itself on Twitter:

2 / So the good news is that the money has been hacked via exchanges can not leave. So please share this info. The largest hack in history was solved by NEM in a matter of hours. That's the power of the NEM platform and NEM team.

With regard to cryptocurrency holders, the basic rule always applies: any important sum must be carefully kept in a physical cold wallet at home. Provided, of course, not to be the type to lose his business all the time …
   

Regardless of whether you’re a diehard tech fanatic, always after the latest devices, or a laid-back “average” consumer, if you’re like me, you can’t help but look forward to the tech developments and trends that lie ahead. After a year with surprisingly high sales for smart speakers and virtual reality, as well as the debut of several new phones and tablets, I’ve spent the last several weeks looking ahead to the possible trends that will unfold in 2018.

As a marketer, my perspective often turns to how we can use these new technologies and trends to better communicate and connect with our audiences, but general tech trends hold much more potential than that—they have the capacity to change how we live and interact with each other.

So what will the biggest tech trends of 2018 be, and how will our lives change, accordingly?

AI permeation. Artificial intelligence (AI), largely manifesting through machine learning algorithms, isn’t just getting better. It isn’t just getting more funding. It’s being incorporated into a more diverse range of applications. Rather than focusing on one goal, like mastering a game or communicating with humans, AI is starting to make an appearance in almost every new platform, app, or device, and that trend is only going to accelerate in 2018. We’re not at techno-pocalypse levels (and AI may never be sophisticated enough for us to reach that point), but by the end of 2018, AI will become even more of a mainstay in all forms of technology.

Digital centralization. Over the past decade, we’ve seen the debut of many different types of devices, including smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, and dozens of other “smart” appliances. We’ve also come to rely on lots of individual apps in our daily lives, including those for navigation to even changing the temperature of our house. Consumers are craving centralization; a convenient way to manage everything from as few devices and central locations as possible. Smart speakers are a good step in the right direction, but 2018 may influence the rise of something even better.

5G preparation. Though tech timelines rarely play out the way we think, it’s possible that we could have a 5G network in place—with 5G phones—by the end of 2019. 5G internet has the potential to be almost 10 times faster than 4G, making it even better than most home internet services. Accordingly, it has the potential to revolutionize how consumers use internet and how developers think about apps and streaming content. 2018, then, is going to be a year of massive preparation for engineers, developers, and consumers, as they gear up for a new generation of internet.

. 

Data overload. By now, every company in the world has realized the awesome power and commoditization of consumer data, and in 2018, data collection is going to become an even higher priority. With consumers talking to smart speakers throughout their day, and relying on digital devices for most of their daily tasks, companies will soon have access to—and start using—practically unlimited amounts of personal data. This has many implications, including reduced privacy, more personalized ads, and possibly more positive outcomes, such as better predictive algorithms in healthcare

. 
White collar automation. Is your job likely to be replaced by a machine? How certain are you of that answer? AI has been advancing enough to replace at least some white collar jobs for years; even back in 2013, we had algorithms that could write basic news articles, given sufficient inputs of data. Is 2018 going to be the year all humans are finally replaced by their new robot overlords? Almost certainly not, but I do think we’ll see the fledgling beginnings of radical job transformations throughout the United States. I think it’s naïve to think that jobs will be fully replaced, but they will be more heavily automated, and we’ll have to adapt our careers accordingly.
. Seamless conversation. A few years ago, voice search was decent, but unreliable. Today, voice search might as well be flawless; Microsoft’s latest test gives its voice recognition software a 5.1 percent error rate, making it better at recognizing speech than human transcribers. Similarly, robotic speech and chatbots are growing more sophisticated. In 2018, with these improvement cycles continuing, I imagine we’ll see the manifestation or solidification of seamless conversation. We’ll be able to communicate with our devices, both ways, without any major hiccups or mistakes.
. 
UI overhauls. I also think 2018 is going to be a major year for UI; we’re going to have to rethink how we interact with our apps and devices. The onset of smart speakers and better voice search has made it so it’s no longer necessary to look at a screen to input data. Desktop devices are becoming less and less used as well, with mobile continuing to take over. New types of visuals and more audible clues will likely be included in next-generation UI, and consumers will adapt to them quickly, so long as they serve their core needs.
It’s hard to say how fast these trends will manifest, or what types of devices and upgrades will dictate their development, but I’m confident we’ll see increased exposure on all these fronts as 2018 develops.

Regardless of how you feel about technology, or your primary motivations for using it, I think we can all be excited about the new gadgets and infrastructure that await us next year.
