So, how do you delete in Vim? This is something that many of you have been waiting over a week for me to tell you. So with no further ado, let's dive in to D. A lot of you have been asking, where the heck are you? What happened to this thing? It's been a week. And yes, I'm very sorry. All of that is true. So I left for a weekend trip and I very diligently recorded D and E beforehand and I was really proud of myself. I was going to upload them. I was going to feel really amazing and then come back and just do the next ones. Unfortunately, ScreenFlow did not record this screen. And so it was just kind of like me talking over nothing happening. It was just really boring. So I ended up trashing those and then when we got back, I forgot that we had painters coming to do this room, which as you can see no longer has the swatches and it's all white and crisp now. And then my whole family got the flu and actually my son now has pneumonia. So it's just been total mayhem here. I've actually been, there's a bed right here. I've been sleeping in the office because I didn't want to get my wife sick.  Anyway, it's been chaos. It's been absolutely terrible. I've just been sleeping and drinking coconut water and watching terrible television. Anyway, that brings us to D, why we're here today. I thank you for your patience and I'm very, very glad that I still have enough Excedrin left to be able to be slightly cognizant to record today's lesson. So let's open our editor. In Vim, our quick brown file and as a recap, this file just has five lines with the same sentence on it. The reason that is, is because I want you to have some orientation around when we delete things and how that affects the document. So first and foremost, D like C is a command that requires a motion. So if we hit D, nothing's going to happen right away. We need to give it a motion and we can use our arrow keys to do that. So we can hit right and that's going to delete just what's under the cursor. I'm going to hit undo to undo that. If I go here, put my cursor right on the other side of that period, I can hit D for delete and go left and it's going to delete what's right behind the cursor. So in this case, that period again, undo, we can hit D and down, which will delete the line that we're on and the line below it. You don't do conversely, we can hit D up and delete the current line and the line above it. Now you might be thinking like this is extremely similar to C and you're very right. The commands are almost identical with the exception that C is a deletion that leaves you in insert mode. It's actually two commands. This is just delete and the benefit of this is that it leaves me in command mode. So if I were to do C here, so I'm going to do what we covered yesterday, but do a capital C to delete through to the end of this line. Now I'm in insert mode, in insert mode, right? And so if I want to do the next command, so I can text, write text, which is great, but if I want to do the next command, I have to escape and then you to undo. Now if I do a capital D, which does the same thing, but without the insert, now I am just in command mode still. So I can't type, but I can just hit undo immediately without having to escape out first. So that's the biggest difference between D and C. To cover a few more things, you might be wondering, how do I delete only one line? Well, you hit D, D, which will delete just the line that we're on, U to undo. And as I just illustrated, you can do capital D to delete from the cursor on to the end of the line. This also works with visual selection mode. So if I hit V, which we've not covered in depth yet, that puts me into visual, visual selection mode. And with visual selection mode, I can make a visual selection and hit delete D to delete just that selection. Now this does put it into a register. All of these commands, all of these D commands will take whatever we deleted and put it into a register, which means that instead of undoing this particular change, I can use uppercase P to paste what is in the register. Now we're going to cover all of that kind of stuff, but I just wanted you to know kind of what that all means when we go into the help documentation for D. And we see this little mark marking right here. So we have D and motion, which we covered. We have double D, which we covered, capital D, which we covered, and the visual selection D, which we covered, which has some alternates. But this little doohickey here means that the text that is deleted will get kept in a register for pasting later on. I want to show you one last thing, which requires me to open up a different file. I'm going to open up the Lipsum text file, and this has two paragraphs of text. Now what I want to show you is this. If I hit D, D, you might expect that this line would be removed. Unfortunately, this whole paragraph is technically one line. There's no line breaks. So if I hit D, D, that is all going to go away. That also includes if I hit D down, etc. So explore that it may be a little counterintuitive at times with large blocks of text without line breaks, but just play with it and you'll get the hang of it. That is it for today's lesson. I really do appreciate your patience waiting so long to get it. And I do promise that I'm going to be on a more regular schedule now that the office is back to normal. And I am kind of coming back into regular health. I'll put some links to other videos and the playlist either around or in the description. And I hope that you can take what you learned today and race in hell.


Hello and good morning. Good morning, Drupalcon. Welcome to day two of Drupalcon Vienna. I'm excited to see how many people there are here today. I was expecting, like, just George to be here, so thank you very much. Clicker. That's okay. Well, for those of you who don't know me, I'm Tiffany Ferris. I am the CEO of Pellentier.net, which is a Chicago-based Drupal firm. But I'm up here today because I am the treasurer of the Drupal Association. I think we're going to restart the slides. Anyway, I have had the privilege of serving on the Drupal Association board for the last long time. I served for three years on Drupalvzw. I've been on the board since 2009. And I've served the last six years on the North American based non-profit, Drupalcon Inc., right? So I was asked to kind of say a few words, and I think it's been a really interesting progression, right, for the Drupal Association. When I was first put on the board, we would have all of our meetings in IRC, text only. Occasionally we would meet in real life at Drupalcon. But our conversations were generally, they would go something like this, I would like to spend a couple thousand dollars on a server, and then everyone would vote, and we'd be like, yeah, you should do that. So every single expenditure was approved by every single board member every single time. And we spent probably 90% of our time thinking about either where Drupalcon should be or how we were actually going to pull off Drupalcon. So I stand here today very excited that we have matured as an organization. We've kind of moved on a little bit. So we are now a, I'm thrilled to report, we are a $5 million non-profit with audited financials and a very mature kind of governance model that we use to support the community. We use to support that mission. There we go. So this is actually from the, kind of what I see as the turning point for the Drupal Association. This was a meeting that we had after Drupalcon San Francisco. It was the very first board retreat. But it was, it was of the entire General Assembly, which at the time was about 30, 35 people. And it was the first time that we got together as an organization to think strategically about the Drupal Association and about what Drupal needed. So you'll see in this picture you've got, you know, Jacob Redding and WebChick. And this is actually the meeting, probably like right after this photo was taken, that Angie came up with the phrase, come for the code, stay for the community. So as I said, we are worlds away from, from that today as an organization. We are here. We, we know our purpose. We know our mission. We are here to unite the community, to build and promote this Drupal project. And as a board member, I really love the challenge and the magnitude of that mission. It's that promise of Drupal that, that keeps us all here today. And the Drupal Association plays a key role in fulfilling that promise. So we often talk about community. And in a literal sense, Drupal is actually an amalgam of a lot of different communities, right? At our core, we have our contributors, those who impact very directly the project, either through writing or reviewing code or documentation. And, and as we've grown, that's expanded into leading and mentoring and managing others as well. We also have an, an entire group of organizers at the local level who do this really invaluable work, whether they're planning and hosting meetups or camps. But I think those organizers also play a really key role in welcoming and onboarding all the new people into the project. Then of course you have the businesses. And while we think of the businesses in our community as providing financial support or code or logistical support, it's important to keep in mind that, that the business community are really on the forefront of selling and marketing Drupal. And they create this very essential feedback loop with our customers so that we can continue to innovate and iterate the project. And then of course the, the customers are, are community on themselves. And what is so important about our customer community is that they're the ones who are demanding innovative features and they're driving the demand for talent. So they create jobs, they create thorny technical challenges, and ultimately the momentum that we enjoy as the Drupal project. A successful Drupal needs all of these communities. We need those perspectives. We need their resources. And this is where the Drupal association fits in. We work with all of these communities because for us, it's about the people. As we have matured, the Drupal association serves as a convener, a connector, and a platform. We are a strategic partner for all of these Drupal communities. We identify and match people's needs and opportunities together. We facilitate interactions, relationships, and collaboration that helps us grow as a project, as companies, teams, and most importantly as people. For the last six years, the DA has worked to expand Drupal's reach by building relationships with all of the people who contribute to Drupal's success. We have invested in forging new relationships with people who had not historically participated. We have been reaching out to CTOs, CIOs, directors of engineering while maintaining the support that's expected of our established contributors and organizers. As Dries talked about in this keynote, the Drupal is growing and changing, and the DA is adapting as well. We've been listening to the feedback and thinking strategically about the trends we're seeing within our own ecosystem and beyond. So change isn't easy, but here's what I know. It always comes down to people, and that's what gives me hope. Every single person in the DA, especially Megan Sanaki and her amazing team, operates with this deep, deep care for the people of the Drupal community and a fierce commitment to this project. We are curious about new opportunities, we are committed to learning, and we are open to evolving however we can best and most uniquely serve the Drupal project. The best part is we don't have to do any of this alone, nor could we. Drupal's history has taught us to trust that help is given when we ask.  So yeah, this last year we've identified some gaps, some things that need to be addressed, like governance, and things that just aren't working as well as we need them to, like Drupalcon Europe. These are both solvable. We are excited to be working with those in the European community to reimagine the potential and the promise of Drupalcon Europe, and we are very supportive of the community working groups' efforts on the evolution of community governance. Coming from the DA's humble and very practical beginnings, there is much to celebrate and yet still so much to learn as we tackle the opportunities ahead. So as I conclude my tenure at the DA, I just wanted to say thank you for changing my life and stay awesome, Drupal people. Thank you. Thank you. So on to the housekeeping slides, everybody I'm sure has Wi-Fi. The hashtag for this morning's keynote is going to be D.C. Monique. Coffee, free coffee after this from 10.15 to 10.45. After that, coffee will be available for purchase the rest of the day. Thank you to Vardot for that. Lunch is in the same spot as yesterday with the staggered approach. If you have any concerns, the code of conduct is there to help you and create a framework for you to address those issues. Rachel Lawson and Adam Hill are on site. Here's their contact information. Or you could file a report directly with Drupal-CWG at Drupal.org. Women in Drupal is tonight and awesome. So you should go. It's at the main conference hotel from six to eight tonight. Thank you to all of the sponsors who make this really important event possible. And then Trivianite, one of my favorites. Thank you so much to Thunder for hosting Trivianite. It will be at the Platinum Vienna tomorrow night.  You can sprint in the hallways and then we have a sprint party coming up later this week. And the exhibit hall is open. You should go through it. Good swag to take back to all the people who let you come here for a whole week. So it's just nice to remember them with something that you didn't have to pay for. So that's good. Then of course, birds of a feather are one of the most, I find one of the most valuable parts of Drupalcon. Very informal gatherings of like-minded people. And the schedule is found at the top of the escalator on level one. This is zero. You all know that. Session evaluations are important. Session evaluations close that feedback loop for the people who put a lot of time and effort into preparing those presentations. It's your way of saying thank you. So whether your feedback is neutral, positive or negative, they do want to hear it. So please do fill out those session evaluations. It also helps us iterate the content and make sure that we're delivering the best content that you deserve. So I want to thank all of the sponsors without whom Drupalcon Vienna would not happen. We have our diamond sponsors. Thank you so very, very much. Our platinum sponsors. All of the sponsors. Yay. Thank you. Awesome. Great. Couldn't do it without you. As a treasurer, I am deeply, truly, truly grateful. Also as a treasurer, I'm really grateful for the supporting partners who support us all year long for those other business owners. Recurring revenue. Great. Predictable cash flow. Good. I really do like those things. Just because we're a non-profit doesn't mean we don't have to follow best practices. So now I am going to turn it over to Angie Byron, who you may know as WebChick, the one, the only person. There could be only one. And she is my friend. I call her up here now. Thank you. Yeah, sure. All right. Now that I've been thoroughly embarrassed. So my name is Angie Byron or WebChick online. Everywhere except for Gmail. So whoever that is must get a lot of really confusing emails that she knows nothing about. I work at Aqua and the Office of the CTO. And that means Drees. The project lead is my boss. No pressure. What I do in the Office of the CTO, I'm actually one of an ever-growing number of people who are paid full-time to work on Drupal itself. So what my job is is to go out and find the people in the community doing amazing things, like core initiative leads, people maintaining some of the top contributed modules, events that are being organized in various strategic locations, and that sort of thing and find out how Aqua can best support their efforts, be that through project management help, sticking developers on hard problems, doing patch reviews, organizing sprints, all those kinds of sort of areas where we can do a little bit of effort on our end and we can get a lot of impact and support a lot of people's efforts. So I'm very grateful for the opportunity. I am not going to bore you with a bunch of product mumbo jumbo, but what I am going to do is let everyone know that we also have a meetup going on tonight. It happens at the same, it overlaps the same time as women in Drupal, but you should be able to do both if you're interested in attending both events. So this is over at Das Campus, it was about a five-minute walk from here and it's very low-key just getting drinks with people, chatting, that kind of stuff. We're not going to try and sell you anything, we just want to hang out. So, yeah. All right. I wanted to talk just a second about my start in Drupal. So I got started in 2005 as a Google Summer of Code student, and the reason I knew about Drupal is because I'm one of those nerds that goes around and viewing source on every single website I ever look at, and I found this really interesting website called Spread Firefox, which was something that Mozilla put up and it allowed any individual person to self-organize marketing efforts around the Firefox web browser, so be that I'm at a university campus and I'm going to hold weekly meetups of promoting Firefox in my school, or I'm an artist and I made this cool poster and I want to upload it so people can print it off and hang it places and this kind of thing, and I just thought that was really neat that there's this piece of software that empowered people that way, so it gave people who were non-technical the ability to do things that would normally require a programmer like myself in order to do, and I thought that was really amazing, and Drupal over the years since then has empowered a number of different types of this sort of thing, so there's a number of non-profits that use Drupal now, like the ACLU, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, these kinds of things, and there's also a lot of people who use Drupal because it's an open platform, because you have control over all of the information coming in and out, and this kind of a thing, and I think it's really neat that we all contribute to something that, you know, yeah, as Tiffany said, gives us a lot of, you know, jobs, which is great, but also contributes to a larger whole and gives people more control and more freedom, because Monique, who I'm very happy to introduce, Monique Morrow is extremely passionate about these same types of topics, but at a global scale, so Monique is a chief technology strategist for the humanized internet, and this is an organization focused on empowering people to take control of their own digital representation, so instead of all of your information going off to Big Brother and for them to chew on and use in ways that you don't quite understand, putting that control back in the power of the individual to be able to manage that online and not making paper that, you know, be all and all of who they are. She's deeply passionate about the topic of governance, and particularly the ethics in technology. She worked at Cisco, where she worked on all kinds of crazy future, the, you know, internet of things stuff, so, you know, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, you know, blockchain, all of these kinds of technologies, and figuring out how can we support those technologies, but also do so ethically so that we're not, you know, taking away human rights as we're doing this sort of thing. So she's a member of the IEEE Ethical Considerations in Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems. She also has the Brazilian Awards, and yeah, I'm very pleased to welcome Monique Moro to our community. Thank you. So, I don't think I'm going to need this. Thank you so very, very much. I wanted to spend a few moments on, I know that the whole discussion here was about humanized, and what does humanized mean in technology, and I want to take, talk about that for a few moments before we get to the presentation itself. So humanization, intentionality of what we do with technology, plus what the open source community can be doing in terms of creating this notion of a cyber bill of rights. So, oh, I'm going backwards. That's really cool. Let's talk about humanization, what I mean by humanization of the internet. First of all, you know, Angie actually talked about what I'm doing, and identity. You all have a passport, you all have some notion of identity, but I'm also working with people who don't, who don't have it. They're literally stateless, literally, literally stateless. It didn't matter as a refugee if they came into a country or tried to go into a country that they had all of their documents on Google Drive. It just didn't matter. Governments wanted to see, you know, affirmation at a station of where their documents came from. And so we need to change that dialogue a little bit. So that's on one side of the house. The other side of the house is on humanization, if we're talking about that, is looking at how we have intentionality and governance and what it is we do. The stakes are so high, so very high today, that we border on a surveillance state. And we need to be very, very, very careful about that. Hence why ethics is a big topic for me. The other component is how inclusive are you all with people who, with talent that's not being tapped on. Let me give you an example of another area of humanitarian, before I get into humanistic, before I get into the cyber bill of rights, is, you know, there's a group, I'm working on a project called Cool Abilities. And Cool Abilities are people who may have autism, who may have aspergers, who may be hearing impaired, who may be visually impaired, and yet they would like to code. And so working to work with this group of our population who would love to be involved in the communities that we all are serving today. And that's an example of being inclusive. So think about how inclusive you are in your communities and think about intentionality of what it is you do. And ethics is going to be a law, quite a bit of a red thread in what I'm talking about. So I'm going to talk now in the next several minutes about a cyber bill of rights community because it is about we, the people. It is about this notion of are you in control? Are you in control of your identity? Are you in control of your privacy? Copinicus may have said the sun is the center of the universe. But let me suggest that you are all the center of the universe. And the stakes once again is so high. Your privacy is a fundamental human right. Just read article 19. It's just a fundamental human right that we all have to have. And we can pick up the newspapers and we can read about people who have been arrested because the breach of privacy. We'll talk about that a bit. It's understood. It has to be understood. We have to know as we're pulsating so much information what's being used, what's being used about us. And it has to be a conscious choice by us all. So one of the things that I'm thinking about, I was taking you along this path, is digital identity. You pass through immigration authorities. What if I wanted to choose what it is I want to choose and how I want to share it with you? And could we think about even a bigger higher interesting areas? What does digital sovereignty look like at the end of the day? It's a bigger problem. But you should be the center of the universe. We should be the center of that universe. And I argue that we're not. Some people may argue that privacy is dead. Some people may argue that privacy is dead. But again, the stakes are fairly high. So if we think about the Internet of Things precipitating this kind of economy, we have to think about all of the things that are pulsating information about us. About what it is we're doing. And companies are amassing profiles. Some far more personal and some far more intimate. In fact, I was actually at the Internet Society Intercommunity 2017 event in Geneva last week hosted at CERN and we were talking about whether or not we have a trust deficit. And I think that's another thing to think about whether or not we have a trust deficit. So all of these things are pulsating about things and pulsating about things and information and we're even having microchipping events, you know, to sort of, I'm just thinking of employee, take this thing out. But that is kind of the creepy part about what we have to think about. So taking you along this path, I want you to ask yourselves questions on intentionality of use of what it is you do, even as coders and most importantly as coders in the community. So we need, when we have all of the stuff that we're looking at, we have all kinds of challenges amongst ourselves. There is this whole notion of data capture. We're just, everything is pulsating information as I said before. There may be this notion of lack of standardization of and how data is retained and that's what I'll talk about even more because I think it's a big top of mind for us. Profiling and traceability is already happening. It's just simply already happening. And the thing of it is, are you in control? Do you know about that? Do you know how data is being used about you? And so there is a risk in terms of going into what I will call this the spine line between safety, surveillance, etc. and not knowing. So we're just all over the map in terms of how data is being used and how we are sending out information about ourselves and not being cognizant or not being sort of responsible about that. The other concern is people think of it in businesses. Think of this is good business if I tell you that I'm going to you have privacy knobs and inform you, you know we're going to do this for you. It's about, it can be interesting a business opportunity but it is about currency at the end of the day. You are all and we are all products. And so there has to be this whole notion of how do we balance between this sort of economic exchange of us being a product and also being able to understand how information is being used and how we are being sort of sold as a product if you will. I have a very close friend and she said to me, you know Monique if I'm a product I want to be paid. I want to be paid for my stuff to be used, right? But you know that's the whole notion of I think the challenges that we are absolutely faced with today. And I always argue and always ask the question whether or not we are all in control or should we be? Or should we be? But here's the thing, if you're not in control and all of this data is pulsating somebody is gathering the data some things are gathering the data and somebody is watching you and somebody is profiling you and some entities are doing all of that and you may not be in control. And that gets into this sort of dialectic about what it is to be in a surveillance state. And it's not just about cameras in a city, it's all of this that's happening at this point in time. And you know I look at it from a macro societal perspective and I'm thinking oh wow have we seen this picture before? Have we seen this picture before and who is watching whom and how? Who is watching whom and how? And so we need to think about what it means to have ethics and humanitarian use of technology but I can start to profile you and I am. Look at AppliedMagicSauce.com. How many of you have heard of AppliedMagicSauce.com? Cambridge Analytica? Psychometrics? I can provide a psychometric actually profile of you based on your social media presence based on how you express yourself in social media. And by the way I can send it to your prospective employer. You know the other thing that could be said about, it is alleged, about Cambridge Analytica specifically is that specifically they may have been involved in the US elections. It has been alleged that Steve Bannon said this will be a technologically run election and maybe they were used. I don't know. But here's the thing. I can profile you and you don't know it. Oh by the way, this is from the economists about facial recognition. Facial recognition happening today. Every time you pass through immigration look at the camera. Right? Look at the camera. How long is that data being held? And oh by the way there are some countries starting to experiment with it. I mean even Germany had in Berlin had an actual experiment about facial recognition and they had to inform the people who traveling at this particular rail station, we're going to take pictures of yourself. And people were like no, I don't think so. And in the UK, highly, highly, highly used. Now the thing about facial recognition is it's happening and the reality is I can, this is from Stanford University, I can actually detect your sexuality in a facial recognition picture. I can actually detect what kind of diseases you have. In fact, I will detect the diseases and maybe it'll go off and maybe with your sexuality go off to your prospective employer and you don't know it. So reality today, by the way I was watching, I don't sleep last night, I was watching BBC and they were even talking about this. Talking about this. So are you in control? Another topic I wanted to say about are you in control here is in Birmingham, England, this is a true story about two years ago, you have children who are on the bus, teenagers, and what they do is it's not exactly socially acceptable behavior but they unfortunately spit on bus drivers. They spit on bus drivers, they had a problem with spitting. Well, guess what? The Birmingham police provided spit kits to the bus drivers and the DNA of those children, of those kids was actually recorded and they were actually put as or listed as anti-social. Did their parents know about it? No. No. And so how do you get that off of your record? So again, asking yourself this question of whether or not you are in control because all of this is happening as we speak. And some people will say well you know Monique, we've got terrorism that's happening today, we have this dialectic between what is safe, between how we actually have to provide, use this technology to catch terrorists, etc. But the thing is and what I'm finding as an ethical question is there is this fine line who do you trust? Do you trust central authorities? I mean this is kind of the fine line that we have to ask ourselves. And in that internet of things discussion at CERN this deficit of trust questions kept coming up. It kept coming up and somebody raised the question around blockchain, Bitcoin, the Silk Road. But you know and said you know this is this underworld black nefarious group but the thing of it is if you read about it the people who were most nefarious were the people investigating. They're the ones that actually took up, took quite a bit of the bitcoins away. Particularly in the Silk Road. And so what you have is centralized authorities. Has the internet for example been too centralized was the question that we were asking ourselves. So if we look at the implications, let me go back here. Implications to Europe. How many are you from Europe in this audience? Yay! I'm in the Schweiz. So you know what I think is interesting is that you can tell by my acts that I'm American but I've you know sort of I'm actually borderless if you think about it. Privacy is a big issue here and it's funny because my American callings kind of under what's going on that privacy is such a big issue. Well it is. I'm Germany if you think about it in Nazi Germany's the Nazis worked with what became the precursor of IBM. The Hollywood tabulator punch cards were used to have to actually take senses of the entire of the population. So they knew by ethnicity, they knew by religion where people lived and what they looked like etc. I mean where they lived where they this was a sort of this racist sense census project. So yes the strictest laws are here for the very reason of a history that goes back to that nastiness right. And so the thing of it is is that now you have to look at the general data protection regulation laws that are coming up on May 25th 2018. The laws are going to be strict. They are strict and if you're not careful whether or not you're with private companies or whatever you risk especially when we're talking about privacy engineering and privacy by design you risk being fined 25, 20 million euros at the very minimum. So you better know and better have your privacy by design and privacy engineering capabilities in place. For example if I send an email by accident to Amanda and it has a list of people being laid off that has to be reported. And by the way and she's on the list that's actually happened by the way. Her rights have been violated. So you have to kind of think about how you report that. And so yes it's a lot of information and we have to think about identity and identity theft. Oh I won't even talk about Equifax yet. But yeah I mean so these are very very strict laws. The right to be forgotten very strict. I was actually at the Facebook F8 conference. Anybody of you attend that in San Jose? So I was actually at that conference last April and people were asking about this. What about the right to be forgotten? And somebody said you know I had a colleague who said I just want to have the right to think. Right? And so this is a big issue and I think that we need to be very very concerned about it. One you know I think we need to take a look about the implications. And for those who are from Sweden I think you know about the biggest leak that happened. Actually it was 2015 not and reported most recently I believe in May. And that's when a government official decides to bypass the compliance regulations. And what they did was the Department of Transportation actually went and said I'm for cost reasons I'm going to go with this third party. Third party was IBM. IBM was not nefarious here but bypassed their national laws bypassed their compliance laws and a lot of data ended up in the hands of a third party. Including names and addresses of people, names and addresses of all kinds of folks and it resulted in government it resulted in actually people resigning from the government. That's when you trust the government this is not even about intentional data hot. So the implications are large and so the question to ask yourself is are you in control? And this brings me to what I think could be you know the opportunity for the open source community. And that is to think about the cyber bill of rights principle. Not what's happening in the United Nations or States. I think this is about community driven bill of rights and principles. That we need to seriously look at. So we think about freedom. I want to go over this because it's really really important. You know this is about the ability to share your information and communicate freely. And you can use the internet. Maybe you can. But it should be a it is the right. It's article 19. The other is transparency. And we have to and this is the whole thing I want to talk about. We have to make informed choices. Even if you're working for some of these companies you have to actually inform the people. What am I using you? Your data. And be open about it with organizations. How is it being collected? What am I using it for? And by the way. We were not lines and lines and lines and lines of legal code that my grandmother could not understand. We were talking about lawyers involved.  Right. Safety. I can't say enough about safety. But you have to be safe and not be preyed upon. I think these are the principles I think we need to think about. This gets into all kinds of potential abuse. But it gets into another hypothetical for the lawyers who happen to be maybe in the room. If I don't like you and I use a vulnerability exploit to do nastiness to get into your house. Maybe it's through some manufacturing consumer manufacturing device. Such that it results in death. This is a true hypothetical. Who's responsible? Is it the manufacturing company that had the vulnerability? Is it the service provider that allowed me in? And the answer is you as a consumer are. Do you know that? Do you know it? So safety is really, really important. Control. Yeah. We have to have control and everybody will nod their heads affirmatively. You know, I go to my doctor in Switzerland who has control of my data, who has control of my, all of that. You do, really? How do I know that the doctor is not sending the data to the pharmaceutical, sending it for research, et cetera, et cetera? You don't. Theoretically, legally. Minimization, I think it's what's required. This goes into the privacy by engineering and privacy, engineering, engineering consequences, or privacy by design, if you will. Why are you collecting what it is you're collecting? For what purpose? And that will hit on these general data regulation protection laws. Security, I think we have to be secure. Equifax is an example. Look what has happened. 143 Americans, is it? They didn't even know. And 400,000 UK citizens did not know. And the CEO has retired. Retired. You don't know. And I think there are tremendous consequences to security and to safety. When you don't know how your data about you is being used. So, are you in control and accountability? When you do something, when you're coding, when you have, this goes to the question of governments. How accountable, how intentional, how do you define the use of what it is that you are developing to the community itself? Or to consumers? How do I know that this was created for the purpose and it's not also. The other part of ethics is who created it by whom? Off the backs of children? Off the backs of people who are slave trade traded? You know, you have to we all have to ask ourselves these questions. So this commences with the cyber bill of rights of principles that I think I strongly believe this community can really gravitate toward knowing what I'm knowing about this community. So I believe we are so close when we talk about privacy, surveillance state, open source and transparency. You know, I want things to be transparent on one hand, right? Truly want to be. I want to know how things and stuff about me is being used. But on the other hand, I think and I believe this is the part that fits very well in sort of this puzzle. I believe the open source community can do, can really do this type of thing in terms of providing that level of transparency and asking the question about privacy and privacy knobs, right? Because the stakes are high if you don't and it's called a surveillance state. And the interesting things about the surveillance state is that as I've stated before we're working along and going along this type of path. The technology is so great. I think somebody called it I have weapons of mass empowerment versus weapons of mass destruction. So great!  It exists. And by the way why am I checking for liquid in your backpack when you go to a football game when I can buy a drone that could spray you with all kinds of nastiness? That exists the capabilities. So there is a really great book by the way called The Future of Violence. It's a great book for you all to have taken long plane rides. Superbook to read. It's very provocative but it just tells you this stuff exists. And so the surveillance state is something we have to be cognizant. And I think for those who are Europe and in the United States you can see what's happening with the rise of populist movements. Right? This rise of populist movements and although I live in Switzerland you know a quarter of the population is foreign. It's 8.2 million people and people are still talking about Was is Schweitzer's design? What does it mean to be Swiss? What does Swiss mean etc. And maybe history repates itself maybe the stakes are so high but it's incumbent upon all of us to actually take notes of this reality. We need to think about as I talked about the principles and talked about how the stakes are so high we need to think about what is our core values? What are we going to gravitate to as core values as a community? As a developer community? A community that really can do and really is doing great work but even when we talk about a cyber bill of rights this universal standards we are going to all adhere to the common principles that we are going to look at issues of data privacy and by the way, as I stated before we really need to we want to protect we absolutely want to protect our community and we want to protect individuals because of what's happening with privacy and privacy by design and here's where I think it becomes very interesting to have some ideas about it but it would be really interesting to hear from you is could you think about having a pledge and defining badges kind of tiered badges on adherence to those principles by organizations and or companies and maybe it's a bronze or maybe it's a silver or maybe it's a gold type of badge to think about how we develop it and I think again from a modest upper-end or a way that we work all together you could have all kinds of personal attributes you can define them define them about for those children who probably aren't aware of what's happening and yet they are usually the sources of being cyber bullied and cyber stocked what kind of identity scrambler capability would we be taking in concern as developers how do you revoke information rights especially if a company or an organization are not adhering to the principles it's not about shaming an organization maybe some people could say it's shaming an organization but it's actually making them aware here's your assessment and this is perhaps what an assessment readout could possibly look like from our perspective and data data tagging I mean I think it's interesting about the data tagging I tag you you tag me we tag the thing about glasses how do you know I'm wearing glasses that are prescription and not just tagging you you don't but they are prescription and I'm not tagging you so the thing about the it becomes this opportunity for the community to think about what is an audible chain of trust custody where you do look at the accountability explore the accountability for the individual you make that individual you make all of us back the center of this universe and you provide transparency on how and what is being used about me and communicated to me across maybe multiple providers it's not an easy problem but if it were you know I wouldn't be here you know talking about it because it's really really tough because you've got this dialectic between what is good business and you've got this dialectic between you know sort of this freedom expression libertarian point of view and we have to think about and then of course you've got this hovering big brother sort of dystopian view of somebody is watching you and I'm watching you etc so badges of honor could look like this I mean I don't know something the community can decide and think about and collectively look at but it becomes this sort of a bill of rights right and you can think about working with organizations like trust arc or trustee and the international association of privacy professionals they exist and I think it's a great way as a certifying body for sponsorship I think this is really really interesting because we you know this is all about why am I collecting things about you data about you even if it's pseudonymous anonymous what does that look like and I think that this becomes a very cool opportunity for us and I don't think the United Nations is the place to do this I think if anything it's probably broken I think this is the community to do it and I strongly believe that we all can create the future we want to have together not the one we want to avoid and I really call upon all of you to do exactly that as the originators at a community level for cyber cyber bill of rights to Dono thank you I feel terribly at Baltimore and introducing myself my name is David I'm here to ask some questions so that out of the way I asked a similar question to a keynote in Baltimore and I think the question is just as valid here I think there's a lot of feeling at least in the community at the individual level that I just built the tools I can't be held responsible if they're used for good or ill you know what's my responsibility if I'm just building a tool right this goes to probably the whole question about what does governance look like I just built a tool as a let me paraphrase Einstein I was just looking at atomic energy I didn't know there was going to be an atomic bomb right and I mean that because and I don't want to put fun at it I think it's all asking ourselves the question about I'm building this tool for what purpose and communicate that accordingly another question my company or a company or actually quite honestly a number of companies in the Drupal space already have gone into some degree either with partner organizations or built systems themselves things to do things like user segmentation targeting and profile building whether implicitly or explicitly if your chips are already on the table on one side what's your responsibility there the responsibility goes to what I pointed out earlier and that is communicate what it is you're doing with the consumers or with the people that you are you know who are your customers what it is I'm going to be doing why am I collecting data this is for what purpose and at least the consumer or I or you can actually opt in or opt out so you mentioned the Libertarian streak in tech and I kind of want to follow up on that I live in San Francisco I'm surrounded by a certain mindset that's very shall we say intentional in bucking the rules if rules even exist right and there's this notion that the internet will route around all obstacles be their laws or rules or or existing businesses how effective can something like this be if there's always somebody looking to quote unquote disrupt it you know if you're talking about so bucking rules there you go back to this tension between I want to make money you know I want to go to the market I will argue that the stakes are higher as I've stated before today than ever before I mean it can bring down companies if you're not careful and it has it has I think it's more that than anything else it is also about you know effectively communicating I go back to intentionality of what it is you built and why and for what purpose and yes I'm going to talk about purposeful based business stakeholder versus shareholder value is probably another kind of interesting viewpoint here it has been stated that 91% of consumers will switch brands even if it's the same kind of brand even if it's the same kind of cost if they know it's purposeful it's not made of you know there is they may pay a higher price too if they know that it's got some values that they gravitate towards and I think being transparent about that is really really key it's becoming more key now than ever before if that makes sense this is a little more on a personal when I started coming to Drupal cons we had keynotes that were talking about how the web and the internet were going to change the world to this incredible positive utopia and empower and uplift mass segments of people and now 11 years later we're having keynotes now about how these things we've built are now cogs in the great wheel that threatens to crush us all so how has technology changed has it always been there or has something in society changed to inform this new perspective I think I think it's more let's go back to the internet was a DARPA experiment if you think about it out of the United States Defense Department that's a reality so if I talk to somebody from the Russian Federation they're going that's a defense thing so you start looking at oh my god you start thinking about what's happening one of the lovely things about the internet that I will because I'm very very strong proponent of it is where I think it's me we have to be very careful it was all about this it's always about implicit based trust protocols were built so that nobody ever viewed the internet as something that was going to be at least talking to the originators of people who helped create it that it was going to be commercialized in such a way we're just building so many things on top of it that's going to be my argument a technical solution to a technical problem it's more now it gets into a higher level problem about what role do governing institutions play and this gets into this whole language of multi-stakeholder the internet should not be regulated that's a long discussion but it absolutely should not be and so that's one side of the house the other side of the house is we build these wonderful tools it's always been the case we build these wonderful tools now we have to take a step back and say okay we've built these wonderful tools what is the potential for abuse the potential for abuse has always been there but now higher I would say amplifying that question more so than ever before because as I said before the stakes are really high I was talking with some people from the cyberpunk community and last week it was really interesting what they were talking about autonomous systems the cyberpunk community one of the questions that they asked was what about these autonomous cars this was kind of tangentially off but what about these autonomous cars and what happens if I just hack into it and I create an accident and death right so there we're asking questions about responsibility at the cyber with some of the colleagues that I have spoken with the cyberpunk community they're asking the questions so should we that actually reminds me my wife is an attorney and she constantly asks these questions she's an appliance attorney so she's asking well if something goes wrong because she's always wondering if something goes wrong who's at fault because you know I have a more say rosy view of the future and hers is like oh my god who's on the hook for this when something goes awry when inevitably well but I don't have a dystopian view it's more of a responsible view and I think it's all of this dark stuff it's just to be cognizant of what it is we're doing at this point in time and I think that's more and I think it's interesting you're married to a lawyer so she probably does read all of it and I bet she has some probably inputs as to what should be done to make it even more simple than a three year old or my own grandparent can read or something because people don't know I mean I have a friend whose grandmother whose mother is uses social media I mean she's she said my mother's like in her mid eighties and all of a sudden somebody friended her and she really knew about what it is she did years ago and she said how did that happen I don't even know this person and of course it was like mom you're all over the social media so last question then to sort of tail on all of that as an individual then as a many of us here are not I would say the majority of us here are not empowered in a way to make sweeping decisions about their company or the organization they work with or sometimes even the software within Drupal how does one as a lowly individual contributor help or progress this forward ask the questions I mean you know this is sort of like you know I know how it is working having worked for big company etc I know that dialectic very well and I don't think any of you are sort of low individual contributors I think you have more to think and I think it's more asking sort of these tough questions about hey look you know there's a we what is for example our company's position on this what should we be thinking about I mean I think that's those are reasonable questions to ask the other thing is at a CEO I'll just say the CEO level for some of these companies one of the things that I'm noticing is that CEOs now are asking for more of an assessment report card on some of these issues and take it at the board level whether it's a vulnerability assessment whether it's a vulnerability private assessment privacy assessment and they want to I know one of one company in London want to actually make sure that it's part of the quote unquote DNA of the entire organization so that it's not left to just the privacy group of an organization or a security group of an organization but it's actually and they're looking at it for they're checking all the time on these vulnerability assessments every month so I think it's more that than speak up and be part of that and say ask questions what are we doing with vulnerability privacy assessments at our company level we should be doing that I mean if not you have so much talent and that's why I'm going with this collective community cyber bill of rights because I think it has to start here I don't think it has to start over there we already see that right I think it has to start in this community so think about if I if I've answered your question push back on me on that no I think that's great thank you so much thank you thank you


Today we're bringing back the nine days with your sister-sister question. So take out those rib jeans, some plaid, and your favorite hat. Wait, aren't those all back in style again? Seeing Sister-Sister on again, it brings back so many memories. I love hearing from you guys who are fans then and from a whole new generation watching for the first time. It seems like a lot of you guys are watching with your kids. So let me know in the comments below. Your questions take me right back to all of the amazing moments I got to share with my sister, Tia, and the whole Sister-Sister cast. Let's get this Q and A started. Priceless Ambition7 asks, how did you guys get on the show in the first place? All right, so fun fact, my sister and I got on the show in the first place because of my brother actually. My brother was doing this show called Out on Night with Patti LaBelle and Morris Chestnut. I think like a fox. We used to always visit that set. The executive producer on that show recognized that my brother had other siblings and she loved that we were twins, met with us and said, you girls need to be on TV. We basically thought of a really cool idea. My sister and I loved Sweet Valley High and we loved Parent Trap. So we wanted to do something like that. We met with an amazing writer named Kim Bass. He's the one who actually created the show that you guys watched over 20 years ago. Ooh, can't believe I'm saying that. And the newer generation, the show that you're watching right now. Once we got the script, we then went to different networks. At that time, there was only like ABC, CBS, Fox and let's see, NBC. And we went to each of those networks to present the idea for Sister-Sister and funny story, every single network pretty much turned it down. And my sister-in-law like, oh no, I guess this is it. Except for ABC.  So ABC was definitely making, or taking a risk with my sister and I. We did a pilot first, which was more like a presentation. And when I saw it, I was like, oh God, I was really surprised it even got picked up. Nothing but God. We definitely needed some acting classes. Teeny Jeannie asks, did you and your sister get to choose whether you wanted to portray the studious responsible twin or the carefree party twin or were those roles assigned to you? We actually did get to choose. Dana, what are you doing? Yeah. Sorry. We actually did get to choose if my memory is correct. It was, it was so long ago. I don't, oh Lord, I hope my memory is okay. Back in the day, Tia was actually the more studious one I think. And I was definitely the, I would say like, maybe not mischievous. I wasn't as mischievous as Tamara Campbell was. I did become mischievous as I got older, like once I turned 23. I definitely was boy crazy at a very young age. And I can see it happening in my daughter right now. And I'm like, oh God, she's only five. But I turned out okay. So I just wanted to first say, watch this sister on Netflix for the first time. Hi, Lauren Milburn. Julie G288 asked, were you and Tia like the characters you played on the show or not really? How are you alike and different from your characters? I feel like we have a bit of like now, a bit of both of the characters within us. I think at that time, Tia was definitely the studious one. And I was a little bit more of the mischievous one, meaning I was boy crazy. I had a lot more energy. But as we got older, I feel like the roles kind of would switch. It was interesting. Like every five years we'd like switch. I would be the studious one. Tia would be the more outgoing one. Then Tia would be the studious one. Or did I just say that? Or I would be the mis, yeah. Oh hell, I forgot what I said. I feel like right now, I think we embody both of the characters. Like we both know when to be really studious and when to be very focused and work related. And when to kind of let go and just kind of have fun. Contrary to some people's belief, when I was on the Rio, I was very like do, do, do, do. No, that's not, that's not, that is not me. And I remember people, my family members, they would be like, why do people think you're so like uptight? I'm actually not. And as the girls got to know throughout the years, I'm a good time, I have fun. Okay, so I noticed there's some theme questions for many of you about romance on the show. Court knee, I think we should do that. She asked, did you ever have a crush on one of the guest stars? Um, yeah, Brandon Adams. I had the biggest crush on Brandon Adams.  I think I had like a little crush. I think that's the reason why our chemistry was so great. There you go, inside. Maybe all the exclusive. Let's keep the romance theme going. Do you wish Lisa and Rae'd end up together? Yes! I like want a reboot just so we can see that maybe they got together. I wanted them to get together. That would have been perfect. Maybe it was just so like on the nose if they did or cliche. I don't know why they never did, but I think they would have made a great couple.  The fact that you even recognize that, that is so true.   We were so prude. I didn't want to. I just, I did not want to. I was like, this, I don't even know that person. I don't, we don't wanna, that was my reasoning. I can't speak for Tia, but I know I was prude. Let's just say that. So, so many of you asked this question. What was your favorite episode and why? I had so many. We did over 100 episodes, but my favorite episode that I can remember was when I crashed the car. I think that was either the second or third episode of the first season. I don't know. I think it was because I was learning to drive at that time. I thought I was something.  I really got to play into my mischievous character. And the other one was when Brittany Murphy actually was in the episode and we were smoking cigarettes. I just loved, loved, loved the message. In the episode about peer pressure, about doing things that you probably shouldn't be doing, but we kind of explained why, you know, the characters felt the need to try something that they knew they shouldn't have been doing. So those two are my favorite episodes. And the cigarettes that we were using, I think I thought I was like a really cool actress because I got to pretend I was smoking and it was just like this little contraption that obviously wasn't a real cigarette, but I thought I was something doing this. Fun fact, I don't know how much fun this is, but I did smoke at one point in my life. I was a social smoker. I do, a lot of people can't believe that. Told you I was a little mischievous. I was a social smoker. I don't know who I thought I was, but like whenever I would drink or go out with my friends, that's when I would do it. And I quit on my own. I was like, this doesn't make me feel good.  And I don't feel healthy. My chest was always like, so you will never see me pick up a cigarette, ever again. All right, Tanya Michelle Brown asked, was it hard to memorize lines? No, when you're that young, your memory's like that. Now I am like, Jesus, Lord, help me. Oh my Lord, oh my Lord. But when you're doing a sitcom, you practice it every day. So it's like repetition. It's kind of like listening to your favorite song for four days in a row. Eventually you'll like, you'll naturally get it. LaLaLove 2012 said, do you still quote the show? If so, what's your favorite? My favorite quote, the answer is yes, is when Tia and Tamara went to a concert to see Cold Dog. And actually I've seen Flex years after, and we still say the same thing.  That is my favorite line of all sister, sister, other than that girl has my face. I love, twin booty is a thing of beauty. Write that down, somebody. Those are my favorite lines. Once again, you walk at that doe don't come back, no mo.  Oh wait, there's more, I'm thinking more. Go home, Roger. That one everyone wants us to repeat. Go home, Roger. Passion believer 29 says, could you please, Tamara say all righty again? Okay, I have to say the fact that you guys still like me saying that is hysterical to me. So Ace Ventura was one of my favorite movies back in the day, and Jim Carrey was one of my favorites.  If you watched him in, and live in color, you can do what you wanna do, in live in color, in live in color. Anyways, I just dated myself. Well, he was on there, and I was a huge fan when he was Fire Marshal Bill, and he would say, Edna pan Edna. I used to always imitate him. So I used to always imitate Jim Carrey around the house when Ace Ventura came out. So of course, I'll do it for you. All righty then. Ophelia GMC, can you just say, oh man again?  I'm in the part when you're dating Jordan. Oh, I still say that. Jantheana1, did you guys have any embarrassing moments in an episode, and if yes, what episode? Oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm gonna say this. Yes, I had an embarrassing moment. I was 15, 16. This is kind of like a lady thing. We were shooting in front of a live studio audience. I had this gorgeous skirt on. I thought it was really cute. And I had just got my menstrual. I remember sitting down on this like chest that we had in our bedroom. And it's first season and I sat down, got back up and there was, you know what? No one knew about it except for Tia. And we kind of like, oh this is so embarrassing. But I feel like every girl kind of has this moment. You kind of like, I froze because the studio audience was there, the cameramen were there, and I was 16 and you're just like embarrassed. So I remember kind of just dragging my skirt along the chest to kind of like clean it up. And I finished the scene. And of course I told, you know, our wardrobe stylist, Cece, at the time, what had happened. And she was so understanding.  Camille Marie says, was your high school experience anything like what you two went through on the show? No, because ironically, we didn't really go to high school like fully. We were tutored on set. We would have to go to school on set in this trailer. Our teacher's name was Glen Woodman Z. I absolutely loved him. We had to do three hours a day and a lot of the kids once they found out that we only had to do three hours of school, they were like, lucky. We're like, no, we basically had to do all the work that all the other kids who were actually in high school within three hours. So it was a lot of work. You had to do that.  We had like an adult job doing a show and being the lead on that show. So it was a lot of work. There was a lot of balance, but it really taught us the balance of work and doing other things at such a young age while you're doing it all at the same time. I hope that makes sense. Ellie S says, did you get to pick your styles of clothing for the show? All the outfits are so fun. We actually were like top 10 best dressed kid stars during that show. And it was because of CC, she was fantastic. And yes, we got to say yay or nay. I loved it. I would get so excited for our fittings every single week. And it was that way all the way up to the end. I actually have one skirt and one robe that I wore on Sister Sister and it's a theory skirt. What's so great about the brand theory is that most of their pieces are classic and I can still wear that. Well, I can wear it now. Thank God. And the robe. It was the pink robe with stars on it. Stargirl24k asked, what was a typical day on set? Fun. That was the most fun I've ever had. So much fun with a cast. Just, it was such a blessing. We wanted to make sure and we've even had some people who were guest stars on the show. We wanted to make sure that everyone's experience on that show was fun. And I think we did it. But you start with a table read, then you would practice it on its feet, kind of like read through the scene with your script. That was kind of like one of my favorites. Then you would do that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, you would block and tape, which is basically you're blocking the scene. The cameraman will come in and throughout Monday through Wednesday, you would have the producers come in, the writers come in and you would do a run-through for them. Then Thursday you would block and kind of record so people can kind of get an idea. The producers can kind of get an idea of how the show is gonna run, if they need to change anything.  You're dressed up, Dana. That is so freaking cute. This is so effing tight. We have to take a picture, it's amazing.  Where do you think all the characters would be right now? I don't wanna say anything right now about that, because who knows? Like, I wanna save that for if we possibly do a reboot. And I am praying, I'm hoping, I'm hoping, please God. That it happens, but if it's meant to be it will. Peace, love, des, the house, the life. There were so many guest appearances and musical performances. Who are your favorites? Brian McKnight, come on. He was awesome. I loved him. Aliyah, have you let your kids watch Sister, Sister, Sister? If so, what was their reaction? They freaking love it, they're obsessed with it. It's insane for me to sit there, watch my children, watch me, because I still think I'm like, it's crazy. I don't feel and think I'm as old as I am, but day. Let me know if you would like me to answer more in another episode. I know one biggie is whether we're going to do a Sister, Sister reboot. Hmm. Don't forget to subscribe to the Housely Life.


Today on Six Sister Stuff, I'm sharing with you 10 of the best cookies that you can make for Santa. Now growing up, one of our traditions was we always had homemade cookies waiting for Santa as he came down the chimney. So today, I'm going to show you 10 of our favorite cookies that you can make that are pretty simple, pretty basic, but taste amazing. So if you guys are ready, let's get cooking. Now the first one is our mom's chocolate marshmallow cookies. Now it's so simple. You're going to start with a chocolate cake mix and just dump it into the bottom of your bowl. Next, you're going to add one third cup of vegetable oil. Next, you're going to crack two eggs and just dump it into the bowl. Then just start mixing it together. I like to start with a whisk and then at the end, I like to use a spoon because it gets thick. Now it's time to start rolling it out.   I did 12 cookies on my cookie sheet. You're going to bake these at 350 degrees for about five to six minutes. When it's done, you're going to pull it out and put your marshmallows on. Now we want to melt the marshmallows a little bit, so we're going to put those back into the oven for about two to two and a half minutes just until they're really soft. You can make them golden brown if you want. Now I'm making my favorite frosting. I'll put the link down below in the description for you for my frosting link. But you can use whatever frosting you want, then you just spread it right over top of your marshmallows. Now I would wait for these to cool just a little bit or yeah, it will be a little melty. The second recipe is our mom's delicious no-bake cookies or she likes to call them gorilla poops. You're first going to start by adding two tablespoons of butter. You're going to melt that over medium-high heat on your stovetop. Then you're going to add a half a cup of milk and then two cups of sugar and just dump that right in. Now we're going to mix this all together just so it doesn't burn on the bottom of your pan. Next add two tablespoons of cocoa powder and then you're going to add just a little bit of vanilla. So it's about a half a teaspoon to a teaspoon of vanilla. A little bit of salt and then go ahead and mix that all together. Now once that starts to boil go ahead and pull it off the stovetop and you're going to add three fourths cup of peanut butter. You can add creamy or chunky whatever you prefer and then mix that in until everything is nice and smooth. Next add two cups of instant oatmeal or quick oats while your chocolate is still hot because we want to be able to mix that really well together. Once that starts to dry it's going to start to harden up so we want to do it while it's hot. Now I love using cookie scoops when I scoop out these cookies because then I don't have to burn my fingers and they're all nice and even and proportional and you give what I'm saying. I like to scoop them out on foil so the cleanup is nice and easy and then you just let them dry. Once they're dry they harden and they are absolutely delicious. Next up is our brownie mix cookies. You're first going to start with one box of brownie mix and just dump that into your bowl. Next you're going to add a fourth cup of flour, two eggs and then on top of that you're going to add a fourth cup of vegetable oil. Now go ahead and mix that all together. Now it will take a minute just because there's not a ton of liquid in there and it's a brownie mix so it's nice and thick so if you need to use your hands you can do that too. Once it's mixed pretty well you're going to add about a cup of M&Ms. Now you can use big M&Ms or mini M&Ms, whichever ones you want to do. Again I'm using my handy dandy cookie scoop because it just makes things a little bit easier. I have a special helper with me today doing that. Now you're going to bake them at 375 degrees for about 7 to 10 minutes so watch them make sure they don't burn.  The fourth recipe is our four ingredient chocolate rollo cookies. Now you're going to start with one box of devil's food cake or chocolate food cake if you can't find devil's food cake. Go ahead and add two eggs to that then you're going to add one third cup of vegetable oil. Then go ahead and mix that together. Now I started with a whisk and then I went to a spoon because it gets a little thicker and a little harder. I literally went to my hands just to finish mixing it up. Go ahead and push that aside now it's time to unwrap the rollo's. You're going to take your unwrapped rollo which is very important and you're going to cover it with a little bit of the dough. Roll it up and then put it onto your cookie sheet. Now I fit about 12 cookies onto my cookie sheet so you're going to preheat your oven to 350 degrees and cook it for 7 to 8 minutes. Now you can sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top but you don't have to.  The next recipe is our super soft sugar cookies. So first you're going to add three fourths cup of butter and three fourths cup of sugar. Now go ahead and blend that together really well. Once that's all blended and mixed well together you're going to add two eggs, three teaspoons of vanilla extract and then mix it all together again. Once it's well combined you're going to add a half teaspoon of salt, two and a fourth teaspoon of baking powder and two and a fourth cups of flour. Now this is the last time you have to mix it all together. So once it's all mixed and well combined you're going to cover it with plastic wrap and stick it in refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes.  Now you can make them with the cookie cutters that's great but it's really easy just to make them in balls and then you just press them down a little bit so they'll be complete circles. Now you're going to bake these at 350 degrees for about 8 to 10 minutes. While they're baking it's time to make the frosting. We start with two and a half cups of powdered sugar, three tablespoons of butter that's softened and we're going to mix those together. Just the best that you can. Next you're going to add three tablespoons of milk and a half tablespoon of vanilla extract. Now blend those very smoothly and softly so you don't get the powdered sugar everywhere and your frosting will become thick and delicious. Now the trick is not to melt your butter, it's just to keep it softened and that's how you get the buttercream texture. Then to decorate you just add on your favorite sprinkles. Now these are super soft and delicious and they work with any holiday you just change up the sprinkles. But I love making them for Christmas. Next recipe is our sugar cookie fruit pizza. Now you're going to use the same sugar cookie recipes before the frosting is going to be a little bit different. So you're going to add one package of cream cheese, one eight ounce container of cool whip, one cup of powdered sugar and one teaspoon of vanilla. Now mix that all up. You're going to frost your cookies and then you're going to put on your favorite fruit. So we have strawberries, blackberries, mandarin oranges, kind of whatever fruit you love you can put on there. The next recipe is one of our most popular recipes on our blog. It's called Andy's Mint Cookies. Now you're going to start with one devil's food cake or chocolate food cake mix, two eggs and then a half cup of oil. And then mix that all together until it is nice and well combined.  Now these don't spread out very much so you can fit quite a few cookies onto your cookie sheet. Now you want to make sure you're preheat your oven to 350 degrees. You're going to cook them for six to nine minutes. Now when they're done, you're going to put an Andy's Mint cookie on top of each one.  Then you just take a spoon, spread them out a little bit and they're the perfect little topping for your cookie. Alright, my next cookie is called Orange Creamsicle Cookie. Now you're going to start by adding two and a half cups of flour, three fourths teaspoon of baking soda and a half teaspoon of salt. And you're going to mix that together a little bit and set it aside. In another bowl, you're going to take one cup of butter that's softened and mix it up. Add a half cup of sugar, a half cup of firmly packed brown sugar and mix it together until it's well combined. On top of that, you're going to add one egg, one teaspoon of vanilla extract and go ahead and mix that together too with your sugar. Once that's together, go ahead and add in your flour mixture. And then just like we've been doing, mix it until it's well combined. Now here's where it gets delicious. So you're going to add two tablespoons of orange zest and then throw in two cups of white chocolate chips. You'll want to use white chocolate chips because it makes it taste so good. Now once that's all mixed together, your dough is ready. Sometimes I like using these little cookie dough scoops. You don't have to use this. You can roll them up in balls, but this makes it so they're all the same size and they're perfectly formed. Now once it's all filled, you're going to bake this at 375 degrees for about 8 to 10 minutes. Number nine is our pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies. Now I'm going to start with a half cup of vegetable shortening and then a half cup of butter. These are room temperature, so they'll be easy to mix. Then we're going to add a half cup of light brown sugar and one cup of just normal white sugar. Then you're going to add one large egg and a three-fourth cup of pumpkin puree. Go ahead and mix that all together until it's nice and well combined. Now you're ready for the dry ingredients. We're going to add three and one-fourth cup of flour, two teaspoons of baking powder and one teaspoon of baking soda. And then lastly you have a half teaspoon of cinnamon and a half teaspoon of salt. Now you are ready to mix it all together. Now once it gets really thick, I like to move to a spatula just to make sure everything is well combined. Now the dough is pretty sticky, so you can stick it in your fridge for about an hour or you can stick it in your freezer for about 10 minutes. Now while that chills, I have a half cup of sugar and then I have one teaspoon of cinnamon and a half teaspoon of ground ginger. We're going to mix that all together because that's what we're going to roll our dough in. Now you don't have to add the ground ginger, I just love it because I think it goes so well with the pumpkin.  Now you're going to preheat your oven to 400 degrees and cook them for seven to nine minutes and they're going to turn out perfect. Now if Santa needs a little healthier cookie at your home, we have our skinny chunky monkey cookies. We're going to start with three bananas that you're just going to mash up. Then add two cups of old fashioned oats, one fourth cup of cocoa, one half cup of applesauce, one fourth cup of creamy peanut butter, four tablespoons of honey, one teaspoon of vanilla and about a fourth cup of chocolate chips. Those are optional, but I love just a little bit of chocolate chips in there. And as you know, I love my handy dandy cookie scoop, you're going to scoop these out. You're going to bake them at 350 degrees for about 10 to 12 minutes. This part is they're only about 56 calories per cookie. Now if you loved these cookies for Santa and you need some other ideas, we have three ingredient desserts right up there. You can click on that and it will take you to some other awesome ideas. Okay guys, I'll see you later. Bye.


I'm going to apologize in advance for the slide deck because it's got no contrast, which is a part of the theme of, you know, being in the background and covert. Steganography. Steganography, all right, bonus points. You guys are great. I'm getting a picture of the audience. This will be a first, huh? This goes into a database. I'm not telling you which one. All right, smile. All righty, look at that. Okey-dokey. So if you can't see that, that's by design. What has the NSA done for me lately is the name of the topic. And the idea is not really to validate one position or another, but really to give you an alternative perspective of sorts, just to kind of look at what's going on, not from the legalistic sense, because we're going to have great coverage from EFF on that.  So I'm not a lawyer and I won't go down that road. My name's Tim O'Neill. I have an email at TimothyO'Neill at BoiseState.edu. So if you have questions or comments, please feel free to contact me at that address. So basically our issues with NSA, or should we say extrajudicial domestic surveillance, is really who are these guys, these organizations that are charged with both security as well as surveillance and whatnot. If you know a lot about the tradecraft world of espionage or spying, you know that people abhor revealing secrets or methods or sources. It's an absolute no-no. But by the same token, many of the techniques utilized for surveillance or for intelligence gathering or collection may not necessarily be, well let's say legal in that regard. So there's really two different perspectives to look at. The first one is that the government might claim, you can't read this, I'll read it to you, but a surveillance threat to liberty. So if you're with the ACLU or the EFF or just a concerned citizen, you would say the surveillance threat to liberty consists of multiple and overlapping collection efforts. So it's not just going to be the NSA, it's going to be a number of alphabet soup agencies as well as some private contractors and others who are engaged in a large collective action. So to pin this all on the NSA, pinata and beat it to me is a little bit naive or maybe even unfair. The legislation obviously is perhaps dubious and questionable and is it Sunday at noon the EFF has the NSA versus AT&T lawsuits, so this will be a great place to get a free plug for those guys and go see that talk and find out those issues from that perspective, the legalistic. The other argument that could be made, and I can't define a terrorist, one man's terrorist is another's insurgent. However, the government's rationale might be to explain to you that a terrorist threat to liberty would consist of physical and psychological disruption and or injury, so you've got a surveillance threat to liberty and a terrorist threat to liberty. So we're going to try to balance. I'm all about balance. I'm a Libra, so. Alrighty. Okay, historical overview of intelligence. The world's second oldest profession is basically espionage and who really is a master at trade craft? Who's really good at this kind of endeavor? I am. You are. Well, okay. Well, actually, no, I was going to say teenage girls because who can gossip?  These people are masters of deception. So the idea is for those who can't read, again, this is by design. So operate in total secrecy or at least compartmentalize on what's called a need to know basis. And ideally, if I'm an operative or an agency, which I'm not so you can't get a t-shirt, I don't want to give you public disclosure, right? I mean, that's just nature versus nurture. It's in the nature of these groups to be secretive and to hold the cards close to the chest. Remember, other lives are at stake when you think, well, they should reveal everything. Well, other lives are at stake down, you know, cutouts and agents and access folks and recruiting. So there's other lives at stake. Historically, the early warning was designed to provide to the president an alarm about national security issues. So hey, one by land or two by sea, the last guy was from the UK. We won't pick on him, but because he was talking quite eloquently about the US visit program, so if you need a green card and you come to this country, well, these are kind of alarm systems of sorts. And if you've ever heard of the phrase, speaking truth to power, you'll understand this is the intelligence agencies with an intelligent product from collection giving that to the president or authority decision type makers. Alrighty. So historical overview of signals intelligence Did this just happen in 2002? Well, no, not really. We can go back in history, at least in America, and see that there was what's called a black chamber. And black chambers are historically organizations that read snail mail or the old telegram, like Western Union.  If you're from Germany and Austria, I apologize. And then, of course, Yardley, who's the gentleman in the book picture, he started MIA, or what's called the American Black Chamber. Wiretaps were also used as early as the First World War. That meaning coming off of telegrams, so Morris Code and trying to intercept radio signals. So this is not necessarily new. There's a paradigm shift, however, in intelligence. So today's secret agent is not James Bond. You're going to have various types of individuals with various skill levels, and the ability to infiltrate. You know what? She can go anywhere she wants. She's got all access, as far as I'm concerned. But as my friend, Jen, would point out, that's the mail buys to the computer guys, because we were having a discussion earlier about swordfish. Everyone's seen swordfish? And in fact, if you saw Johnny Long's presentation, if you go tomorrow, it is Hollywood, hacking Hollywood. He'll show you some great clips, and I'm not going to steal that thunder, but wow. All righty, so the other threat to information collection on intelligence agency is the Internet, or the electronic world. So these are two paradigms that they have not been necessarily accustomed to historically. Humid intel challenges. How many people speak Tajik? I don't, you don't. We probably couldn't get into the areas that one would be needed. Going deaf, drowning in the data, this might apply to the signals folks. They can't hear because of the cell phones, or because of other media. They're drowning in so many emails and faxes that to pull that needle out of the haystack is increasingly more difficult. Can we say obsolete? I don't know. I'm sure there's people who are very concerned. Analog to digital is also a transformation that fiber pipe, the fiber optics are going to present some real challenges if you're trying to tap information. E-crime and terrorists, the so-called terrorists, right? I don't define that. But they alter their communication methods or methodologies. They use blog, they use spam, a steganography like my slide. They've, you know, encryption, VoIP. If you go to Johnny's, if you've been to his Johnny Long's forensic talk about the thousand cuts, you found out that Johnny has a hex editor that does a good job of your comment fields or some other non-suspicious places to put information or messaging. And then finally, at 9-11, who is more informed? You sat in bed and watched CNN, the classified news network? So the timing here is critical. Okay, where does that lead us? FISA, there's great discussions on FISA with EFF here. I don't want to really go through a whole lot of that, but to tell you that, well, here's this act and that the argument the government would make is simply that it was appropriate for large state actors such as the USSR. However, for non-state entities or the so-called NGOs or whatnot, it's too nebulous. They've got wiggle room, they're slippery. So they would claim it's ill-suited by today's definition of what national borders are, the geopolitics. And besides, these so-called persons of interest, they don't wear uniforms or have a fixed physical address. So what's at stake? I would propose striking some kind of a balance. And it's terrific that we're having that dialogue throughout three or four talks at this very conference, so that's fantastic to see that happen. This is actually the wrong document. It's not the Bill of Rights, but then it's kind of an old parchment document that would be representative. But essentially, the Constitution is at stake, separation of powers. What we're seeing is a balance between how do you collect without being invasive to, let's be frank here, American citizens, how do you protect their privacy while at the same token getting relevant critical information to offset a likely threat. The second item of discussion, this is probably the really important one, is disclosure to the public. Folks like the ACLU and the EFF would argue that we got to have some separations of power, of governmental actions, and this oversight within the agency. Who is the decider? If you saw that famous clip by George Bush, he would say that he's the decider. Well, then this maybe should be called what has George Bush done for me, if that makes any sense. Okay, I'm going to watch for that red dot on my forehead. Okay, so the schedule's changed a little bit, but we've got Meet the Fed sometime today. It's in the calendar. But this would be great aspect to go see what these people are doing from the horse's mouth, so to speak. And also then, as I suggested, that the EFF, NSA versus the ATT lawsuit, that litigation, that is coming up on Sunday. So these would be great fundamental talks basically I wanted to go into what is the domestic and international espionage techniques and quite frankly the subsequent blowback. Now blowback is a term for those of you who don't know, this is when things go south, things go wrong with an operation like the Bay of Pigs and people found out. Oops. Oh, that's not true. Okay. All right, so we have a correction with the gentleman saying the blowback's actually media that was fabricated or propaganda placed in foreign media sources and then brought back to say USA Today for our consumption. The standard wiretaps, of course, are law enforcement. It's a big transition between law enforcement and intelligence. I mean, in intelligence you don't necessarily need to have a prosecution or an arrest, but in the law enforcement paradigm you do need to have convictions. That might be very difficult. If you convict somebody you may blow your sources and your operation. I want a t-shirt. You know, all right. Phone records, obviously the domestic calls. So implies cooperation with the groups like AT&T, Verizon, Bell South or others who may have contributed to that endeavor. Now the NSA has not billed the taxpayer for that. So if you have a subscription or a service with those fine companies then you're actually paying for the surveillance. Okay, in 1986 the U.S. government had the Economic Communications Privacy Act to protect, this is the irony, is to protect communication with email, cell phones, other digital things. Now there's always a caveat here and there about when we're in wartime and what presidential authorities there are, but I thought this was interesting to have a legislative protection for digital communications. Then Kayla comes out, a lot of people are probably familiar with Kayla, but Kayla says, hey, we have the right as the government to come in now and place onto the existing service providers some kind of a data collection. So making it easier for law enforcement wiretapping and such. And then finally we have a great device called NARIS, STA, Semantic Transfer Analyzer 6400. So if we go to the website we can actually see the proprietary and confidential analysis schematics here of the way the data is correlated. They have some very efficient algorithms to model and reconstruct and then do some traffic analysis as well as semantics. Anyone have a Nimbus 2000? All right, well this is not a secret listening device, although there's probably a lot of good information that you could get from one of these. All right, Domestic International Techniques. Anyone remember the, well that's what we want. Hey, cheers. All right, what the fuck? I happen to have a Nimbus right now. All righty, so anyone remember the DARPA project? Well, who knows where it went. Is it classified now? But if you understood the implications it was to have a total information awareness collecting all available information in coordination with a couple of other projects that would enable people to have a lot of decision making power based on predictive analysis. Internet usage, data and text mining, this data text mining business is at rest and in motion. Now in motion, okay, so transmission and what not, packet sniffing or blah blah. But at rest, I mean to me, so my data right now is at rest. I don't know, so maybe there's other experts here who could really delve into what they mean by how are they getting information at rest, so that's good to know. Civilian contractors, there are a lot of companies that work for the government and provide that intellectual leverage and capability. U.S. Treasury had a program to look at financial records at SWIFT, which is located in Belgium, so we're looking at financial records, so you're seeing that the NSA is but one player in an orchestra of collection techniques. And then finally you've got foreign agencies, so you might have like the Deutsche Bundes-Nachsrischendienst, which is kind of like our version of the NSA of sorts, a very signals group, you might have GCHQ, the English equivalent, MI6 or others, they may share information. The U.S. Army recently in the Pentagon had that case where a number of Quakers had been placed on a suspect list for activities that were questionable regarding protests of recruiting. So they have a program called Talent, Threat, and Local Notice, so this would be where folks from Army MI would go and they would watch your activities at a protest and make note of that. They would also use social network analysis to think of this as kind of like the military equivalent of Friendster, so you hung out with so-and-so, and Betty Joe is related with Rand, now don't they burn things? No, that's elf, elf burns things. And you're trying to prohibit, you know, recruitment to the military for some reason. Local police also have what's called Criminal Intelligence Divisions and they also work with the Joint Task Force, so oftentimes you'll have the stovepipes of information now freely flowing or flowing more freely than traditionally or legislatively restricted. And then of course the use of confidential informants with the information. Now interestingly enough, this quote that you can't see by design is coming directly from the DOJ manual on the confidential informants themselves. And it says, however, undercover techniques inherently involve an element of deception and may require cooperation with persons whose motivation and conduct are open to question. So you know, we're not dealing with maybe the most squeaky clean Mr. Rogers types all the time. How about Google? So now if we've got to see any of again Johnny Long's Google this is great. Here you see, you know, I did a search for French military victories and Google says, well, you mean defeats? Alright. Okay. I was a little bit worried. Well, if the NSA has all my calls and I got my cell phone and they track me with GPS what does Google know about me? This is crazy. You know, they got my call records or they got my address and so I went and I Googled and not, yeah, they know where I live and they know what I do and anybody knows that now. So I'm like, okay, there's got to be a balance maybe there as well with the open source, but you can see the power of the open source is being realized as well by these governmental entities. Oh, anyone have Google mail? So based on your mail, you get some messaging targeted ads, you know, let's say they're right size just for you. Well, it's probably hard to see, but the ad that came to me was don't tap our wireless. Go to www.workingassetswireless.com switch to a cell company supporting ACLU's lawsuit based on my emails. So, oh, by the way Jeff, you're in that list so, yeah, that's kind of scary. We're both from Boise here. Okay, super secret spy stuff.  Are there any disclaimers? Hey, you got a mini parabolic and a tin can with a string. So, disclaimers, remember play safe when spying. Play nice. Okay, quote directly from the site, devices may not be used to violate the privacy rights of others to accessor intercept electronic communications in violation of wire tap statutes. So I can't really do that. And phone tapping and eavesdropping is illegal in certain states. So there you go. Couple of the cool things. They have a pin recorder and it actually has earphones. So you got the ability to hear what the person borrowing your pin is saying. You also have a pin detector so you can do a wireless detector with your other pin. And then here's the telephone voice analyzer. And that's it for me. That was turbo, wasn't it? Do we have time for a question or two? Yeah, let's go two minutes. Okay, let's take some questions at this time. Wasn't that in Google? That's on a need-to-know basis. Remember sources and methods shouldn't I can neither confirm nor deny any such activities if they did in fact exist. Okay, well you can buy me another Red Bull vodka. It's just stolen. Do we have another question? Anybody? Bueller? Bueller? The Blue Turf is a winning strategy to create a national champion. Oh, you know what? They wanted to be... We have seagulls and they get confused. They fly in. Anything else? All right. All right, folks. Thank you very much. The next speaker will be right with you.
