Knowledge Graph The idea is simple. List all possible events I am blogging in a timeline manner. This idea is the one I love the most and brain storming to work. I was listening to The Indicator. Today it was on plage hit europe in 1335 - 1355. I thought of taking a note of it.

Quoting Akshay, “switching from a communication medium to other is like vaccination. It is useless unless the community decides the switch." Most of them I am communicating are using proprietary means of communication. To connect with them, I have to use the same even I am very aware of the problems it have. I switched my communication to libre protocols and failed miserably only because of this. https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2019/11/02/books-read-on-october/ Sat, 02 Nov 2019 10:43:25 +0530 https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2019/11/02/books-read-on-october/ I am not an avid reader. I read and write rarely. As Akshay suggested, I am starting to commence the documented learning starting with something I love the most - Reading. Even though, I spare a small portion of money for reading each month, Reading won’t happen that often. I hope documenting this would help. Good Reads is my companion. Usually I update there. Whomever owns it, whatever they are doing with the data, I am getting motivated to read. https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/04/14/fintech-and-aeps/ Sat, 14 Apr 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/04/14/fintech-and-aeps/ For financial inclusion of India, Reserve Bank and other development agencies have employed working groups for studies. The study suggests deployment of Aadhaar based payments along with improving central infrastructure. By providing IIN (Identifying the Bank to which the customer is associated), Aadhaar Number, Fingerprint captured on Aadhaar enrolment, Payments can be initiated. Aadhaar Pay is meant for merchants to receive digital payments from customers over the counter through Aadhaar authentication. https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/04/14/fintech-and-blockchain/ Sat, 14 Apr 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/04/14/fintech-and-blockchain/ Satoshi Nakamoto, an anonymous identity, published Bitcoin white-paper in 2008. Blockchain has gained great attention, investment, and development within Fin-Tech because it solved the problems associated with internet transactions and trust. Blockchain followed privacy by design strategy. Nakamoto’s paper shed light over trust in a trust-less environment. The Bitcoin protocol helped to solve issues such on security, privacy, and trust which technologists have been working since 1980s. Satoshi Nakamoto’s paper outlined a protocol that created a peer-to-peer, electronic cash system using digital currency, now known as Bitcoin. https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/04/14/fintech-in-india/ Sat, 14 Apr 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/04/14/fintech-in-india/ Internet has transformed from decentralised knowledge sharing p/latform to a centralised market place. In financial industry there are many web-and data-based financial products and services that customers cannot obtain from their bank or such similar provider. This gives rise to a new competitive environment. For instance, tech giants such as Google, Apple, Amazon, Alibaba,Samsung have fin-tech infrastructure. Non-bank, primarily technology-driven providers are entering the markets for simple financial services. Regulatory differences of course are a major factor. https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/04/14/fintech-in-india-conclusion/ Sat, 14 Apr 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/04/14/fintech-in-india-conclusion/ Privacy is necessary and sufficient for a healthy, democratic society. Digital transactions removes country divides and enables human universal citizen. Digital payment platforms are respecting value of data produced in the age of machine learning and artificial intelligence. In India, Laws, regulations and legislation are required for data protection and privacy. Gnu Taler is a libre payment platform, which reproduced all the benefits of using physical cash and respects privacy. So, it is recommended for global adoption. https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/04/14/fintech-and-taler/ Sat, 14 Apr 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/04/14/fintech-and-taler/ GNU Taler is a free software platform for fin-tech. It delivers an online payment system which provides privacy for customers as well as accountability for merchants. It uses an exchange service to issue digital coins using blind signatures, and is thus not subject to the performance issues that plague Byzantine fault- tolerant consensus-based solutions. Gnu Taler follows privacy by design architecture strategy. An exchange which is regulated by government will provide services. https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/04/14/fintech-identity-management/ Sat, 14 Apr 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/04/14/fintech-identity-management/ Individual identities connected to appearance, personality, knowledge, and traits that define us. Identity management is often concerned with features that can identify individuals uniquely within a given environment. We have tokens of our identity such as social security numbers, certificates for birth, graduation, , and death, a driver’s license, postal addresses, email addresses, cell phone numbers, credit-card numbers, and membership numbers for organisations to which we belong\cite{Thompson2007}. Edge technologies used at present for identity management are RFID tags, Bio-metrics and sensors. https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/04/14/fintech-intro/ Sat, 14 Apr 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/04/14/fintech-intro/ Demonetisation and other financial reformations are leading India a cashless economy. The transformation is made through adoption of Fin-Tech platforms and solutions notably PayTm and Google Tez. The financial transformation achieved through forceful seeding of Unique Identity Number - Aadhaar number in banking sector. Forceful Aadhaar seeding introduced some benefits for the governments and a little for the countrymen while the privacy was at limbo. Since management and protection in such fin-tech platform is core of this analysis, privacy policies and their impacts on common users are discussed. https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/04/14/fintech-and-payment-platforms/ Sat, 14 Apr 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/04/14/fintech-and-payment-platforms/ There is a wide variety of platforms offering payment and related services are available for Indian users. In general, we can put different platforms into two groups. Physical Digital Statistical studies conducted by government states that, around 87 percentage of transactions are by using promissory notes. It could be either barter exchange or by use of promissory notes. Looking through a privacy lens, it is recommended to use physical transactions. https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/04/14/fintech-and-privacy/ Sat, 14 Apr 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/04/14/fintech-and-privacy/ A most accepted definition for privacy is the “right to be let alone” popularised by Warren and Brandeis. They recognised right to privacy had evolved in the 19th century to not only physical privacy a concept embedded in most European legal systems since the middle ages but also a potential injury of the feelings, which could, result from the public disclosure of embarrassing private facts. Non-electronic environments, where privacy intrusion was typically based on fresh information, referring to one particular person only, and stemming from traceable human sources. https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/03/25/privacy-in-indian-fintech-a-comparison/ Sun, 25 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/03/25/privacy-in-indian-fintech-a-comparison/ Summary After financial reformations - I call it intrutions, induced by Indian government give high momentum to Fin-Tech industry. India is a unique multicultural society who trusts governments and corporates most.This literary comparison’s focus is on fin-tech platforms and their effects on end users' privacy. I conducted a study find out authentication and authorization methods employed on different classes of Fin-Tech platforms in India and their effects on end users, How data is harvested, and How the governing state and other private institutions benefiting. https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/03/24/farewell-gecw-malayalam/ Sat, 24 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/03/24/farewell-gecw-malayalam/ ഇന്നലെ ഫയർവെല്ലിനു പറയാനുദ്ദേശിച്ച കാര്യങ്ങൾ മുഴുവൻ അങ്ങോട്ടും ഇങ്ങോട്ടും ഒക്കെ മാറിപ്പോയി, നെർവസ് ആയി കയ്യിന്നു പോയി മൊത്തം കോണ്ട്രയായി. പറയാൻ വിചാരിച്ച കാര്യം പറയാഞ്ഞിട്ടാണോ എന്തോ, ഉറക്കം വരുന്നില്ല. കു…കൂ… കുടുംബം ഇല്ല, ഇനി ഹറാരിയും സാപിയൻസും ബഷീറും ഒന്നുമില്ല. പരിപാടി നിർത്തി. നമ്മൾടെ ചരിത്രം മൊത്തം കുടിയേറ്റവും പലായനവും പ്രവാസവുമൊക്കെയാണ് പറയാനാർന്നു വന്നേ. അല്ലേൽ ഇപ്പൊ തന്നെ, നമ്മൾ പഠിക്കാൻ വയനാട്ടിലേക്ക് പാലായനം ചെയ്തു. ഇനി ജോലിക്ക് ബാംഗ്ലൂരിലേക്കോ, വേറെ എവിടേക്കെങ്കിലുമോ കുടിയേറും. ചരിത്രവും ഇത് തന്നെയാണ്. ഇതിന്റെ ഒരു സ്മൂത്ത് ആയ സെറ്റപ്പിനാണ് കുടുംബം ഒക്കെ എന്നാ എനിക്ക് തോന്നിയിട്ടുള്ളത്. അല്ലേൽ ഇന്നും പൊളിഗാമിയൊക്കെ പ്രാക്ടീസ് ചെയ്യുന്ന കമ്മ്യൂണിറ്റികൾ ണ്ടാകുമാർന്നൊ? https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/03/14/a-letter-to-framcis/ Wed, 14 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/03/14/a-letter-to-framcis/ Francis (name changed) is in his mid 50s.

This gives us a clear picture about how mega corporations are operating even in the new order. We responded to Margaret Thatcher’s TINA: There is no alternatives by TISA: There Is a Socialist Alternative. Likewise, we need to find an alternative for the corporate work culture of exploitation and have to make an end to corporate work culture. https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/03/14/uberizatioin-of-everything/ Wed, 14 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/03/14/uberizatioin-of-everything/ After second great depression of 2008, traditional banking sector collapsed to its worst. It was the point where traditional financial service providers got replaced by technology companies. Great depression induced recession made family budget out of control. It made people jobless and homeless. By 2009, Uber, the car hailing company introduced their product, UberCabs, which is substantially revolutionary for the post-recession era. It disrupted the market by introducing a new mode of work, company structure. https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/03/14/what-can-i-do-with-platform-coops/ Wed, 14 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/03/14/what-can-i-do-with-platform-coops/ Tell me what I can do Its very critical to implement what is in theory book into real application. While companies like Ola, Uber are holding major market share. By adopting platform cooperativism, commons will be the beneficiary. People with less or no technical knowledge will be able to adopt the same technological advantages as corporate platforms having. More jobs will be produced. After all, it will nurture democratic, sharing culture of the society. https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/03/13/platform-coops-checklist/ Tue, 13 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/03/13/platform-coops-checklist/ Checklist for a Platform cooperativeness Can you make a platform for an existing co-op? In a culture that values ideas over practices, it might be hard to see the existing cooperatives around. But, there are many systems of mutual aid and cooperation nearby. These “platforms” are systems of self-determination and survival created by people who have been systematically denied resources through institutionalized racism, sexism, and classism. These initiatives are often not lifestyle choices made by educationally privileged people. https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/03/13/story-of-anagha/ Tue, 13 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/03/13/story-of-anagha/ Anagha, was one of the best brain available for an MNC – in the name of open source, from Calicut, Kerala. She joined the company as a developer trainee. By a year, she became team leader for their flagship project. She was very depressed by experiencing inhumane acts of MNC such as overtime duties, They didn’t provide travel assistance even on late nights, since she was developer trainee. When she promoted as team leader, the management started enforcing all developers – including women – unrealistic deadlines which made them reach home by midnight. https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/03/13/story-of-aparna/ Tue, 13 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://joice.moolekkari.net/post/2018/03/13/story-of-aparna/ Aparna was a bright student from Wayanad, Kerala.
