These Are the Most Hated Brands in Every Country in the World (Infographic)

 There's nothing that brings people together like a shared hatred, even if the enemy is an entity rather than a person. Social media means everyone's a critic, and there's almost nothing people like to complain about more than their most-loathed brands. Had a bad experience with an Uber ride? Tweet about it. Detest the latest Netflix original series? Post it on your Instagram story. 

Curious if people in countries around the world shared a common brand "enemy," Rave Reviews used an analysis tool called SentiStrength to review more than a million tweets and find the most-hated brand in each country in the world. Although the results varied by geography, there were some common threads: Sony appeared on the list 10 times, Tesla seven and Uber four. In both the U.S. and UK, Uber is the most-hated brand.

  For years, the blockchain industry has been defined by the excitement around smart contracts, or tamper-proof digital agreements that automatically execute when a certain condition is met. Typically associated with blockchains like Ethereum, smart contracts allow developers to build decentralized applications or “dApps” that recreate all sorts of products without the need for a rent-seeking middleman. However, over the last year, smart contracts have begun to evolve. While developers are still building smart contracts on top of blockchains like Ethereum, they’ve also begun to combine them with an entirely new piece of technology:  oracles . Oracles are entities that enable blockchains to interact with data and systems from the traditional world.  As a result, “ hybrid smart contracts ”, or smart contracts that combine on-chain code with off-chain oracles, have taken the world by storm due to the enhanced functionality they enable for dApps.
