The Internet of Things (IoT) connects devices to communicate and share data. A new trend, the "intelligent edge," processes data at the network's edge, near where it's generated, rather than sending it to a central server. Luiz Henrique, Director of Technology at Parlacom Telecom M2M & IoT, emphasizes that the company is at the forefront of integrating intelligent edge capabilities into its services. He notes that Parlacom has been developing solutions specifically designed to enhance the efficiency of monitoring IoT devices for their clients. These advancements ensure that data processing happens close to the point of data generation, which not only improves response times but also reduces bandwidth usage, thereby optimizing the overall performance and reliability of IoT systems. The intelligent edge is crucial for IoT, offering reduced network strain and minimized latency, essential for real-time applications like autonomous vehicles and remote medical procedures. It efficiently handles large data volumes, reducing the need for expensive cloud storage and enhancing security by processing data locally, thus lowering the risk of data breaches. Challenges include the need for standardization and interoperability to ensure effective device communication and data sharing. In summary, the intelligent edge promises reduced latency, better security, and efficient resource use, shaping the future of IoT with more innovative applications.

My master thesis (completed 8 years ago!) was cited in an opinion piece in a Brazilian newspaper specialized in finance. The piece was a bit misleading in my opinion... The author claimed a tax exemption benefit of R$ 360 million per year for semiconductors should go through a thorough cost-benefit analysis, even though it is very small (again, in my opinion) when compared with the total tax exemptions granted by the Brazilian government, which surpass R$ 500 billion per year. Actually, he first mentioned the size of the tax exemption for semiconductors and IT in general and then the tax exemption for semiconductors since the beginning of the program, which are of course much bigger. I also wonder how he proposed quantifying the benefit of a program that supports an industry with so many (positive) effects in the whole industrial sector. https://lnkd.in/dwfyFjY4

The Central Bank of Brazil's decision to slow the pace of interest rate cuts appears to have sent a confusing signal to investors about how soon policymakers intend to stop reducing borrowing costs, raising concerns about how to better communicate policymakers' future intentions, MNI understands. Dissenting members at last week's meeting argued that, according to BCB models, there was no difference between a 25bp or 50bp cut for inflation forecasts, and only the terminal rate could affect the variable. Thus, it makes little sense to believe that Copom calculations currently point to a 10.50% terminal rate, unless there is unexpected discord over where to end the easing cycle, which is not likely. https://lnkd.in/d9-P9iMA

The labor court of appeals of Minas Gerais, Brazil, confirmed the decision that validated the termination for cause of a worker who defamed the employer on the social network, as well as forwarded private messages to its leaders with the aim of tarnishing the company's image. The plaintiff was hired on June, 2019 and dismissed for cause on March, 2023. She denied having committed serious misconduct, arguing that, despite having made the post on the social network, there was no exposure of the employer's image. This is because there would have been no mention of the company's trade name, known in the market, but only the corporate name. She also argued that there was no gradation of the penalty. In this context, the professional required the reversal of the termination for cause with payment of the pertinent amounts. However, when examining the appeal, the considered the termination for cause to be correct, "due to an act harmful to the employer's honor". The appeals court confirmed the sentence from the trial court of Juiz de Fora, Brazil, "on its own grounds". The decision rejected the plaintiff's argument that there had been no exposure of the company, considering that it was well known that a business group acquired the supermarket where she worked. Messages were listed such as: the company is "horrible", that it does not give "real opportunities", "they only deceive us", as well as "the work is slave". According to the decision, the plaintiff's malicious intention to publicly defame the company was evidenced. Once the fault was proven, the termination gor cause was maintained. The ruling, endorsed by the appeals court, discussed the responsibility for conducts practiced on social networks: "The digital medium, for some decades, has been allowing its use, often irresponsibly, to exceed the limits of the claims that are recognized when the appropriate legal means are duly used, violating and affronting the rights of image and privacy that are pillars of the Republic. This court has been noticing over the last two decades the succession of cases involving the application of termination for cause in identical circumstances, which also demonstrates the need for regulation of the media and accountability of its users, whenever there is an abuse of information, responses and manifestations that go beyond the ordinary. The popularization of access to the media has established a growing number of 'opinion commentators' whose acts violate constitutionally protected rights, and are not exempt from responsibility." In these terms, considering that the termination of the employment contract for cause was proportional to the wrongful conduct, the appeals court dismissed the worker's appeal.
