And just like that, we're only a couple of months away before a new year comes. Time does fly!
Anyway, we're on our third issue of 2019, and we have a very diverse set of articles in this issue. We look at life beyond linear broadcast in an article by IBC. We most certainly have to cover pervasive topics like AI, Blockchain, and the bloody Streaming Wars. We added some tips from our tech partners on choosing the best video editing machine, calculating bandwidth for streaming, and pitfalls to avoid when considering cloud storage. And because we love practical tech, we've also included articles on smart homes and smart cities.
By the way, we just wrapped up IBC 2019. If you saw or met us at IBC, thank you very much! Do join us again next year which promises to be an even bigger show. Lastly, in case you missed it, we also made a huge announcement on day 1 of IBC—the launch of our Arkki EVO Digital Asset Manager. We've included a link to this story below.
Enjoy!

Yes, we're fans of tech BUT we're also big fans of cars. So when something like this comes across our daily reading, we just had to share it. Meant to compete with the Tesla, the Porsche Taycan was just launched earlier this month. It features a two-speed gearbox, a first for an EV, that aims to improve both acceleration and efficiency. This is a big deal and we're excited.

AI has come a long way in recent years — but as many who work with this technology can attest, it is still prone to surprising errors that wouldn’t be made by a human observer. While these errors can sometimes be the result of the required learning curve for artificial intelligence, it is becoming apparent that a far more serious problem is posing an increasing risk: ADVERSARIAL DATA.

Most broadcast and media applications use relational databases. But relational databases may not be the best for data that demands a good amount of flexibility in terms of defining their structure and building relationships. This is where Graph Databases, a technology built into MediaPower's Arkki EVO DAM, could help. In this article from Towards Data Science, Favio Vázquez explores the ideas and concepts of graph databases, what they are, what are their advantages and how they can help us in our daily tasks.
