Choosing a career is a very challenging task for most of us. So one must analyze certain points before finalizing their long run. Points like assessing themselves, finding the area of interest and then becoming perseverant about their respective career. So today in this video we have come up with the hacks and guidance to power up and fill one soul with love through the art of travel photography and with that you will get to know how to fill up your pocket through this field. Back to CreativeHut channel an exclusive platform to know more about photography. Travel photography offers a broad range of potential career opportunities in many areas from working as a photojournalist or a media correspondent to a blogger. There are plenty of ways to combine your love for traveling with photography if you have got passion, determination and talent. Now if you're creative minded and have the motivation to turn your dream into reality then one can work as in travel photographer, photojournalist, freelance photographer, travel blogger, travel and traditional departments, travel magazines, online travel websites or for books and publications. Henceforth travel photography is a great line of work but all you need to do is practice practice and practice to gain our fame in this field. Apart from that one can generate extra income by applying some of the hacks provided either by selling the stock images, conducting workshops, blogging or vlogging, launching online courses or by selling the printed photographs. And the last but not the least is how much to travel photographers earn. As a photographer during the early stages it is obvious that the earning will be less but our continuous efforts and determination increases our income gradually. So on an average trial photographer can earn from Rs 7000 to 18000 per month whereas a professional photographer may earn quite more with their average approves for Rs 25000 to 50000 per month or a project based. Thereupon always remember that we should be grounded wherever we go and along with that respect other people's tradition, culture, values, land and the surroundings for what and how they are. So that's for today's friends and if you have any further doubts regarding the travel photography then write your queries and comments on the comment section below.

All right. For anybody who is in this back corner over here, if you want to hear clear audio, I would suggest you go to this side of the room. We just have a problem with the air wall there. So if you want to hear clear audio, come on over to this side. That being said, welcome to the talk. This is fighting back in the war on general purpose computing. Computer, sorry. And without further ado, Corey Dockrow. Thank you all. Thanks for coming. Thank you. So, you know, two years ago I came to DEF CON and I gave a talk where I predicted that things were going to get really ugly in the Internet of Things. After all, we live in a world made out of computers and not just in that kind of metaphorical sense where like if you download those glossy videos promoting the Internet of Things where like it all looks like it's been set dressed by someone involved in the Tron production and everything's like white and curvilinear and jumpsuit-y and people walk into these houses and they like wave their hands and the lights come on. I had some of the other days say, yeah, I've had those like awesome, you know, computer controlled lights for months now and I went to a hotel and I was like, you mean I have to touch a light switch like an animal?  And it feels futuristic like tomorrow we will live in a world made of computers. One of the implications that may occur to you as you watch this person walk through their gesture and voice controlled house is that a house that you can gesture and talk to no matter where you are is a house where there's a microphone listening to you and a camera watching you wherever you are. And this is where things start to get ugly with the internet of things. Now we don't have to wait for the tron future to live in a world made out of computers. We already inhabit a world where the most salient fact about many of the things that we put our bodies into and we put inside of our bodies, the most important thing about them is their internal logic. It's the computers that they run on. They are in effect special purpose computers that do things like let you live inside of them or drive around in them or keep your heart rolling. And so when you hear about, for example, subprime car lending which is the newest way to like monetize poor people, right? You give them a car loan and then you turn that car loan, the return on that car loan into a bond and you float that on the street and the way that you securitize that car loan is you fit the ignition system on that car with a network location aware ignition override that makes sure that you're adhering to the lease terms or the loan terms or it disables your ignition system. So if you drive outside the tri-county area, if that's a term of your loan, they can remote shut down your car. And you hear about that and you realize that the most important fact about that car is the computer inside of it. It doesn't have to be one of those jeeps that just got recalled because over the internet you can disable the steering and the brakes.   And the thing about the internet of things, the thing about a world made out of computers is that it's inheriting the worst fact about the early years of computers, which is the inkjet printer business model where the things are sold in a way that they are intended to act as a platform where the manufacturer controls that platform and gets to monetize it at high margins by controlling who can sell add-ons for it and who can sell consumables for it and who can add features to it. And this is very useful if you're the manufacturer. For example, you can charge a lot of money for like the extra stuff that plugs into it, like whatever you use up in it, like the chargers or the gasoline or the windshield wiper fluid. It's also great if you're the manufacturer because you can make covenants to third parties who might subsidize the purchase. So like if you make smart thermostats, you might be able to get a power company to subsidize buying millions of them for everybody losing a district by being able to warrant that you'll never sell software for it or allow software for it that allows the user of that thermostat to adjust it when the power company turns it down or up. So if the power company says, oh, well, we're running out of headroom in the power infrastructure, we're going to turn down everyone's air conditioning by two degrees, they want to be able to make sure that you don't just walk over to it and turn the air conditioning back to where you had it before. And that's a great way to subsidize the hardware. So everybody wants this inkjet printer business model where you get to control the software, the consumables and every other piece of that ecosystem. And we have given a gift to people who want to design these inkjet printer business models, a legislative gift in this country in the form of a section of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 called Section 1201, the anti-circumvention component of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. And this is a law that says that if you break a lock that is used to secure access to a copyrighted work, that even if accessing that copyrighted work is lawful, breaking the lock is not. And so all you need to do to make sure that nobody can plug stuff in that you don't want plugged in or run software that you don't want run or add consumables that you don't want added to your platform is put the thinnest credible lock that you can imagine around the system.  And the DMCA, you don't even have to like get action against you under the DMCA for the DMCA to work to stop people from getting involved in breaking these inkjet printer business model tools, because it has such incredible horrific penalties that all you need to do is ask yourself, you know, am I willing to go to jail for five years on a first offense and spend $500,000 and fines on my first offense to see whether or not I can unlock some functionality in this in this device. The answer is usually no, you don't even need a lot of prosecutions to get everybody who's capable of doing that unlocking step to kind of say actually there's probably something better somewhere else out there with fewer penalties. My risk calculus says I'd rather not do this. Now the interesting thing about DMCA 1201 is that there's almost no litigation history. We don't really know whether or not the courts would find that $500,000 fines in five years in jail for listening to music the wrong way or watching TV the wrong way or plugging in some, you know, additional functionality or an unauthorized charger to your devices right and proportional. Because the other side gets to decide when to prosecute people for violating 1201. And they generally speaking only go after people who they think they can win against who have really bad facts and don't look like the kind of people you'd want to stand up in front of a judge. So one of the only cases where 1201 has ever been litigated was when 2600 magazine which don't get me wrong 2600 is an amazing magazine. I've written for it. Manny does God's work but 2600 magazine published DCSS for decrypting DVDs. And the film industry said we're going to fight this one all the way to the end because 2600 magazine is in New York where it's the second circuit and judges don't really understand technology not like out in California where they're really clued in on this stuff. And 2600 calls itself the hacker quarterly and we can be reliably assured that the magazine and all of its all of its supporters are going to show up in court wearing black t-shirts that say things that judges don't understand and find vaguely disturbing. These are the people we want to fight in court and we got our butts handed to us in 2600. The court said there's no free speech interest in magazines being allowed to publish math. And they said that this is about whether or not people should be allowed to defend their investments or whether or not anyone who can figure out how to steal their stuff should be able to just because they know how to remove a law. It's a terrible judgment. Now a couple of years later we had a great chance to stand up the right kind of defendant in front of the judge because Ed Felton who was then at Princeton and is now deputy CTO of the White House was led a team or worked with a team that broke SDMI which was this really crazy dumb idea to watermark digital music so that when you converted it to analog and then back to digital again that somehow that watermark would survive even against an adversary who wanted to remove it and that watermark would be detectable by digital to analog converters and they would just say I'm sorry I refuse to convert this analog music back to digital because it has been marked as non-convertible and we won't do it. And the SDMI consortium you know they spent a lot of money hundreds of millions of dollars they spent years on it smartest people going working on it and they offered a big bounty to anyone who could break it on condition that you signed a non-disclosure but of course Ed and his team didn't want a bounty they wanted tenure and publication so they wrote a paper on it and they submitted it to USENIX security symposium and the record industry went bananas and they threatened Ed and USENIX and they said if Ed gives this paper about stats at a technical conference we're going to sue him and the technical conference we were like oh yeah this is the one we want right because we really want a judge to decide whether or not record executives should be in charge of what kind of math Princeton professors can talk about at learning conferences that's the question I want to stand up in front of a judge all day long right and if we get the right answer well then 2600 can publish all the DCSS that they want. So as soon as we stepped up at electronic frontier foundation to represent Ed the record industry dropped the threat and they not only dropped the threat they offered us a covenant saying they would never pursue Ed for SDMI ever just to stop us from going to the judge and asking for what's called a declaratory judgment which is when you say I've got this threat in writing they put it in writing we've got this threat in writing from the record industry against my client my client has the right to know even though they withdrawn the threat he has the right to know how that threat would turn out and because they'd given us a covenant saying we're never going to go after Ed well the judge said you don't have any standing to ask that question because you know the answer the answer is they're never going after Ed so there's almost no litigation history in 1201 which works great if your hope is that 1201 will intimidate people who don't know how a lawsuit might turn out because there's no case law on it and you want to just have them stay the hell away from anything that interferes with your dumb inkjet cartridge business model it's a great situation to be in. Now we do have a little bit more case law and this is actually kind of interesting and it's kind of an interesting example of how the Internet of Things has changed the calculus here. In 2004 there were two companies that sued over the DMCA one was called Lexmark which division of IBM which sued a competitor that was refilling inkjet cartridges and changing the software in them it had a bit that was set that said I have been discharged and that bit was not supposed to be set able back to I am now full again and they were they were resetting that bit to say I am full and I have never been discharged and they were refilling the cartridges and selling them on and there was another one called Skylink that made garage door openers and there was a third party company that was making replacement handsets to open the garage door and in both cases so one was consumables the other one was add-ons they went to the court to the federal circuit who are not known for their technological knows this is the circuit where all the dumb patent cases are heard and and where we get the worst judgments out of but they went to the federal circuit and they said we we think that 1201 protects us from people refilling inkjet cartridges these are copyrighted inkjet cartridges copyright law protects us from refilling these are copyrighted garage door openers and the judge took a good look at both of these and they said you know what I've been looking for your copyrighted work in this and I can only find one and it's the DRM right like the only code running in this thing is the DRM and the DRM is supposed to it's supposed to be against the law to remove DRM that protects that that controls access to a to a copyrighted work but if the copyrighted work that the DRM is protecting you against is the DRM just feels a bit circular you know and so the judge he bounced both of those now things have changed since since 2015 since 2004 here we are in 2015 and every single computerized system has real substantial copyrighted works inside of it because these days you don't build like PLC or FPGA or special purpose based controllers for most of our little things controllers are so cheap now that for sixty cents you can buy a TCP IP stack in an embedded control that you can stick in your light bulb and so why would you why would you build something that was small and lightweight and didn't have a substantial copyrighted work in it when you can get like some lightweight version of Linux already on a chip for pennies and so everything from light bulbs on up now has a copyrighted work inside it and so as soon as you add a lock to it it's against the law to remove that lock because now it's protecting access to a real bona fide copyrighted work beyond the DRM itself and that means that we now have this restriction on jailbreaking HVAC systems and jailbreaking insulin pumps and jailbreak jailbreaking 747s and jailbreaking implanted pacemakers and implanted implanted defibrillators and it just keeps going right we just keep getting more and more things that are protected by digital locks and where it's against the law to remove those locks because someone has used them to protect a business model so those tall willow we office towers that you see going up in the finance districts of the great cities of the world where you look at them you're like how the hell does something that tall and skinny stay up well they use computer controlled dynamic load adjustment to dynamically readjust themselves against seismic and wind stresses from moment to moment right that building is a case mod that bankers hang out in and it's protected under the DMCA you just saw 1.4 million jeeps were recalled because they could be accessed over the internet and and have their steering and brakes disabled a client of EFF Chris Roberts has a claim that there are ways to get into the control systems of of united planes through its in-flight Wi-Fi system and the thing about this is that it's not only crazy for for business purposes and not only is a way for companies to rip you off by charging you a lot of money for consumables or locking you out of features that you might otherwise want to have although there's a lot of that make no mistake it's also deadly for security because we have exactly what methodology for determining whether or not a security system works and that's disclosure and adversarial peer review right it's when your friends tell you about the dumb mistakes you made and your enemies make fun of you for having made them right and that's that methodology if it sounds familiar it's because it's the methodology that we use to go from the dark ages to the enlightenment right before the enlightenment we have one kind of science it was called alchemy alchemist never subjected their findings to adversarial peer review they fell prey to the most frail of human frailties which is our ability to deceive ourselves about what we think we know and so they would conduct experiments and they would go I think it came out the way I thought I predicted it would I'm not going to tell anyone else about it because I've discovered something awesome and this is why every alchemist discovered for himself the hardest way possible the drinking mercury was a bad idea and it wasn't until alchemist started publishing and submitting themselves to adversarial peer review that we found out about the dumb mistakes right we call that moment the enlightenment we call what came out of its science and it's what we use to determine whether anything works it's why our bridges stand up and it's why our security stands up when it does it's because we allow third parties who don't like us to look at what to look at the stuff that we've done and figure out the dumb mistakes that we've made in order to humiliate us in the public sphere that's the only methodology we have for knowing whether security works but under 1201 it's against the law to reveal information that could be used to remove a lock e.g. like where was the key hidden or there is a buffer overrun or there is some other component about this that makes it insecure and would allow an adversary to gain access to it and override the access controls built into the system that the manufacturer was hoping would be intact through its entire duty cycle and what that means is not that vulnerabilities don't exist they do and not that vulnerabilities don't get discovered by hostile parties they do one of the things we saw when the NSA's tailored access operations group manual leaked which is their kind of their manual of like pre-made hacks that field agents can request from their from their IT people to use in the field is that the NSA routinely discovers and weaponizes zero days that they use against other people and that in particular those zero days are longer lived when they're in systems where it's against the law for independent security researchers to disclose those zero days and so they last longer so I'm know it making it illegal to disclose bones doesn't stop those bones from existing it doesn't stop those bones from being discovered and it doesn't stop them from being exploited it just makes it harder for normal people who don't anticipate bones in the systems that they rely on for life and limb from being discovered because after all your phone is more than a supercomputer in your pocket that you use to throw pigs at birds right your phone is a super computer in your pocket that knows who all your friends are and knows what you talk to them about and where you are and where you go and it knows how your banker and you talk to each other and authenticate your conversations and how your lawyer and you talk to each other and authenticate your conversations it may be your off token to your house's front door lock and your car and it has a camera and a microphone in the only way you can know whether those are on or off as if the phone security model is intact otherwise if the camera and microphone could be covertly operated and making it against the law to tell you about loans in that phone to make sure that you don't run software that didn't come from the manufacturers app store is grotesque not just because it rips off independent software vendors and limits innovation it's grotesque because it puts you at risk in every conceivable way from asshole to appetite of vulnerabilities being discovered and festering and being used to exploit you so every three years the copyright office holds these hearings on twelve oh one where they asked are there any ways that twelve oh one is like getting in people's ways and should we grant an exemption until the next hearing and they just concluded one you probably heard a couple of examples from it for example John Deere tractors a farmer put forward a petition to allow him to jailbreak his John his John Deere tractor the story went that he was getting out there to till the field with his John Deere tractor and it wouldn't run and he called tech support and they said yeah it looks like the inflation sensor on one of your tires has gone south we can just we can dispatch a part in a couple of days and he said well the tire is fine can I just go into the firmware and disable that sensor and they said no you can't he said well I really want to be able to tweak that now John Deere doesn't really care whether or not you tweak it but what they do care about is the fact that they do centimeter accurate soil density surveys through the torque sensors in the wheels while you while you till your fields and they sell that information to seed companies like Monsanto but not to the farmer and the only way for the farmer to know about her field soil density is to pay the seed company and Covenant only to use that seed company seed so they went to the copyright office and said we want to jailbreak our Monsanto tractors and Monsanto our our John Deere tractors and John Deere came back and said no no that's not your tractor it's our tractor you've only been licensed the tractor it's a copyrighted work GM you know in case there was like any doubt GM uses this to lock mechanics out of their cars because they want to make sure that only mechanics who sign a contract that says I buy original GM parts that we charge major markups on and not third-party parts that only those people can get diagnostics off the motor and so GM filed a petition whose basic summary was you remember that ad where we said that's not your father's Oldsmobile like we weren't speaking metaphorically right so if you want to read stuff that'll make the hair on the back of your next stand up look up 2015 copyright office 1201 triennial proceedings and read what the security researchers wrote about how this stuff is getting in their way so his guy named Jay Radcliffe is a security researcher at Rapid 7 is also a type 1 diabetic now if you're type 1 diabetic you get an insulin pump instead of relying on human beings who are after all the world shittiest lab tax to like figure out when you need more insulin right you get an insulin pump instead of relying on human beings it means that your insulin dose is titrated very carefully and very tightly through the day and really good lockstep with your blood sugar and you live many more years but Jay Radcliffe has audited the insulin pumps and he won't get one he is prepared to sacrifice years off his life to not get one because he knows what the wireless interface in this thing can get access to and after all insulin can be fatally overdosed on pretty trivially so he won't get out type 1 he reports on this he also said he's audited a bunch of other medical devices and he estimates that 40% of the code and implanted medical devices has never been audited we also heard from security researchers who work on voting machines they say that voting machines are horrifically insecure but because they have a lock that protects access to a copyrighted work they can't tell the people who are procuring them for their local elections about the vulnerabilities in them the most hair-raising thing in it was there's a security researcher we don't know which one so there's a filing from about half a dozen super eminent ivy league big 10 security researchers and in their filing they said one of us not naming any names has been advised by council not to tell you what area she or he works in because merely disclosing that council believes will bring a 1201 action against him or her right so this is this is you know the first rule of 1201 club is you don't talk about 1201 club now internet of things investors are really big on this 1201 stuff they all want these devices to ship with ecosystems lock-in lock-in for add-ons lock-in for consumables and you know in a real market where like that lock-in can be broken this stuff doesn't work right courage put lock-in on its 2.0 coffee pod machines so you can only buy coffee pods from courage and not from third parties because it's a competitive market they lost 25% of their market share in the first year and they did an investor call where the CEO had to eat his hat and say we made a really dumb mistake because like nobody woke up this morning and said gosh I wish there were fewer vendors who could supply software for my cochlear implant or fewer ways that I could read my ebooks or fewer people who would sell me coffee for my coffee pod machine in the absence of one of these things there's no way that you can make this stuff work but in 2015 we now have a system whereby this competition is getting harder and harder to come by and the future looks pretty grim in terms of 1201 and how it interacts with the internet of things right like I'm working on a catalog of design fiction you know ideas about what kind of devices we don't have and should have or might see in the future as a result of 1201 it's called the catalog of missing devices and one of the ideas that our UX futurist types came up with is a product that unlocks your fridge so it can chill third party butter but you know I told you about those subprime cars there's another really interesting example of where the internet of things is headed there's a guy named Hugh Hare who runs the prosthetics lab at the MIT Media Lab and unlike me I'm a words guy he's he's got pictures he's got awesome slides I'm like PowerPoint corrupts I never use pictures but he's got awesome slides of all of the ways the computers have been woven tightly into people's bodies to improve their lives in immeasurable ways hands and feet even neural prostheses that use very powerful magnets to suppress activity in parts of the brain that cause otherwise untreatable depression and so here I saw him do this talk it was amazing and he shows us slides in the last slide is him and he's clinging to the side of a mountain like a gecko and he's all in Gore-Tex is super ripped and you can see that from the knees down he's he's just got stumps and his his stumps are in these great robotic mountain climbing prostheses but he's been standing here like this the whole time and he says oh yeah didn't I mention right like forget one more thing and Steve Jobs oh yeah didn't I mention rolls up his pants like and he's robot from the leg down right and he starts running up and down the stage like a mountain goat leaping into the air it's incredible best demo I've ever seen the first question anyone asked was how much did your legs cost and the names of price you could buy like a terrorist house in Mayfair or a brown stone on the lower east side right the second question anyone asked is who can afford those legs and he says well of course anyone can afford those legs if it's a choice between a 60 year mortgage to get to your house and a 60 year mortgage to have legs everyone's going to pick the legs all day long which I think is probably true but when you can combine subprime immobilizers and legs you get somewhere very ugly right when you miss the payment the legs walk you back to the repo depot to take them back and anyone who pones those legs because it's against the law to tell you about bones in them can make your legs take you anywhere they want so EFF loves litigating stupid tech laws this is one of our secret superpowers that I think a lot of people don't appreciate America has this amazing backdoor to its legislative system soon in other countries without strong constitutional traditions the way that it works is lawmakers make an incredibly stupid law and then you have to wait until there's new law makers and enough of them to make that law go away and you have to bring pressure against them you have to get a majority of those lawmakers to change that law because America has an independent judiciary and a strong constitutional tradition in America if you can just convince enough federal judges sometimes only one that a law violates the Constitution they can make the law go away now this has some downsides because lawmakers can make dumb laws with impunity knowing that it's good red meat for their base and then the judges are going to make them go away before they cause too much harm but on balance it means that we get a legislator of second resort in the courts and that means that when you have ideological blindness in Congress to bad technology ideas if we can get the right defendant in front of a judge we can make the fact that Congress is full of people who don't understand technology irrelevant to the legislative landscape so our best example of this was Bernstein some of you probably know about Bernstein in the early 90s governments had this like weird idea that it's hard to imagine in 2015 that anyone would have this idea that civilians shouldn't have access to crypto it's kind of a crazy idea it's amazing that like anyone could have ever had that really dumb idea back in the early 90s for those of you don't know this idea has come back in 2015 FBI wants to ban civilian access to crypto anyway in the NSA had this idea that civilians shouldn't be able to use crypto so they classed it as ammunition and they made it illegal to traffic in strong crypto and people made lots of arguments in front of Congress about why this was dumb you know John Gilmore one of the FS founders employee number six at Sun and one of the principal authors of GCC and Solaris one of the designers of spark chip he made a computer that was optimized for for brute-forcing DES 50 which was the cipher that the NSA argued was sufficient for civilian use for a quarter million dollars he made a computer that could exhaust as 50 in two hours and he said this is like the entire American banking system can be beat for 250 grand with this you know thing the size of a bar fridge by a guy who looks like a hippie right and that the Congress said yeah that's very nice why don't you leave now right we made arguments about international competitiveness economists joined on nobody cared but then we found Daniel J Bernstein who you may know today is DJ B an eminent cryptographer and who professor or a researcher at UC Berkeley grass in UC Berkeley who was publishing strong ciphers on usenat right remember usenat and we argued that his saw his source code was a form of expressive speech covered by the first amendment that programmers had the first amendment right to publish source and the 9th circuit and the 9th circuit appellate division said you're absolutely right congress is wrong whether or not this should be classes ammunition classing it as a munition violates the first amendment and we can have strong crypto that's how we got crypto that's that's how we got here today we love thank you so we love litigating bad laws with good clients and watching this stuff happen I left EFF about 10 years ago to go be a novelist to make up stories to help you pass the long boring hours between the cradle and the grave and and after about 10 years of that I looked around at this stuff and said like this is dire like as much as I'm interested in making sure that you know I can I can live the cushy glamorous life of a science fiction writer I'm I also don't want my daughter growing up in a world that like makes dystopian science fiction look like my little ponies episode so I came back to EFF to work on a project that we call Apollo 1201 it's a mission to kill all the DRM in the world within a decade and we're going to do it with your help because we know that people in this room people who come to this conference people who work in this field violate 1201 all day long it's impossible to do security research without doing it but it's the love that dare not speak its name right we have a pact effectively with the people who want to defend 1201 and keep it intact and it's that security researchers just don't make a big deal out of the 1201 violating parts in their research so like they research mobile malware and then if the paper starts with I got some apps they don't say you know I took a jailbroken phone and decrypted a bunch of apps and memory they just say I got apps and then I discovered this interesting thing so so long as nobody talks about it too loudly the other side doesn't come back and you know everybody kind of trundles along but meanwhile devices that we rely on every day become reservoirs of long-live digital pathogens that threaten you me and everybody we love so we want to talk to you about this stuff as they said in oceans 11 we're putting together a team we want to know about the work that you're doing we want to know in particular when you're scared about 1201 and we want to figure we want to help you figure out how to structure that research so that it says litigation harden this possible so that if you decide that a critical piece of your research is describing the 1201 elements or someone on the other side decides that they want to make an example of you and put your head on a pike that the way that your research is structured is optimized for making sure that the judgment that comes out of it is a shiny beacon on a hill for everyone else who's thinking about 1201 and not a terrifying icon of how bad it is when you go up against the machine we want to make this structured in such a way that 1201 eventually goes away all together because with 1201 gone DRM goes to nobody wants DRM right and once it's not illegal to eliminate DRM people will eliminate DRM because DRM is only used to protect high margins and as Jeff Bezos said in a moment of alarming candor to the book publishers your margin is my opportunity so every one of those stores that's taking 30% out of the height of app software vendors is ripe to be disrupted by someone who makes another store that takes 20% out of their hides or 10% of their hides or monetizes it differently by having some kind of platform strategy every device that has a high price consumable every John Deere tractor that's selling information back to farmers that they're generating by driving their own tractors around the field every one of those is a market opportunity and every one of those will be taken advantage of and the DRM will disappear as soon as the status of DRM is legally ambiguous or positive for people who break it and it's not hard to break DRM right hiding keys in devices that are owned by your adversary is a bad idea for the same reason that keeping money in a safe that you leave in the bank robbers house is a bad idea right eventually those keys will always be subject to interrogation because remember in DRM crypto you don't have Alice and Bob and Carol you just have Alice and Bob Bob gives Alice a crypto and Cyford message and Bob gives Alice a device that has the key and then Bob crosses his fingers and hope that Alice never figures out where the key is and puts it in another device that does things Bob doesn't like right that is the wishful thinking business model is the abstinence-based education business model of crypto and it doesn't work so here's my pitch to you right if you're a hacker and you're doing security research come and talk to us I'm really easy to find I'm the first Korean Google just type Korean to Google the first result that comes up is my home page it has one email address on it it's the same email address my mom and my wife used to get in touch with me email me and tell me about your 12 oh one stuff and we want to talk to you and figure out how we can help you or if we can help you talk to you about the contours the law and give you good advice it's the thing we've been doing for 25 years now and we're awesome at it but if you're a designer if you're you ask person I think so those people come to events like this to get in touch with me about the catalog of missing devices because we're putting together a design intervention as part of the 12 oh one project to help people start to realize what's missing because of 12 oh one this is an underappreciated fact about 12 oh one is that there are all these devices missing from the field and it's hard to notice what's not there right with the patent fight there's a device everybody loves some patent role has a dumb patent they make that device disappear everybody gets angry but with a with with DMCA 12 oh one the device just never shows up in the field and people don't even notice it's there they kind of assume that maybe it's like physics is the reason that you stick a CD in your computer and the computer wakes up and run some manufacturer supplied software that rip mixes and burns your CD to put on your mobile device but you stick a DVD in and all it lets you do is the same thing you could do with it in 1996 which is watch it and people are like oh I guess there just must be something like technically impossible about doing more stuff with DVDs so we're making this catalog of all the stuff that was stolen from your future right and if you're into this stuff if you're a UX or UI designer for your product designer get in touch with me and talk to me about contributing to the catalog of missing devices we can also offer you tax receipts for the consulting that you do on this stuff for the value of your consulting because we're 501c3 that we've got lots of ways to make this good for firms that want to work on it with us and we'll also make sure that you get credit and you'll be helping out in an important way and then my last plea to all of you is if you're a W3C member if you remember the World Wide Web Consortium or if you work for a company that's a member of the World Wide Web Consortium also get in touch with me because the World Wide Web Consortium last year took the dangerous and awful step of adding DRM to the realm of technologies that they're willing to standardize for the web which means that our web based front ends which are supposed to replace plug-in based or app based front ends for everything from our pacemakers to our thermostats will all have components that are unlawful to report vulnerabilities in and will thus be subject to having those vulnerabilities faster in them and we have a project to reform the way that the W3C deals with this and so if you are involved with the W3C I really want to hear from you. So the DMCA has been festering since 1998 it's an unsightly boil on the American legal system and it's spread all over the world thanks to the US trade representative and as it stops being enforced in America every one of the countries that has adopted their own version of 1201 at the behest of this government will be poised to remove their own 1201 laws because after all if you're in a suicide pact and the other side backs out and says no we won't make these products that are people like then it's natural for you to want to back out too. With your help we are going to squeeze this out and we are going to get it out of the way. So this is it, forever and everywhere in the world. Thank you. Thank you. So goons, I have about 10 minutes for Q&A. So 10 minutes for Q&A, I don't know if we have mics, if we don't I can repeat the questions. I remind you a long rambling statement followed by what do you think of that is a question but not a good one. And I will alternate between people who identify as women or non-binary and men because otherwise the Q&A is always a sausage fest. Yes. Right. So the question is are there still cases where DRM works like for example subsidy consoles where they sell the console below cost and then they use games and money from the games to realize a recruitment on those costs or other models where I take a picture and I send it to you but I want to make sure you don't share it on. How do I do that without DRM? And I think that those are two separate cases and I am going to take a look at them. I am going to take a look at them. I am going to take a look at them. I am going to take a look at them. I am going to take a look at these separate cases and I am going to take them separately. In the second case the Snapchat case that only works. What Snapchat is good for or Wicker or all those other disappearing tools are good for is a system in which you trust the other party but you don't trust their OPSEC. So you say to them like we are going to share a document and we are both going to delete it after we have looked at it but sometimes you forget because human beings are crappy computers. Right. And so that works really well. Auto enforcing OPSEC great. It is totally terrible at stopping people you don't trust from sharing information that you have shared with them and asked them not to share on because if you send me a photo to my device at bare minimum I can just take a picture of it. Right. But also it is my device and you have hidden some keys in it and then you expect that I am not going to find it. Again we are back to wishful thinking. So like would the world be a better place if we could figure out how to turn off gravity as well as someone with chronic back pain? Yes. But are we going to defend things that don't have any nexus with turning off gravity but let people pretend that we do and have all these horrible side effects? No. Now as to like can we protect subsidy hardware by allowing the state to like spend an unlimited number of tax dollars to prosecute people who do otherwise lawful things to that subsidy hardware? I guess the answer is whether or not you think the state should be deciding which business models work. And you know I think that we have lots of hardware that works without subsidy. Like nobody came down off a mountain with two stone tablets that said the only way a console shall ever be monetized is through discount hardware. And you know in the games world it's especially interesting because the games world has got a long history of not being protected by law. So you know back in the days of like floppy and CD based software piracy the games industry were one of the first major constituencies to go to the law bodies and say we're being pirated into the ground. And of course lawmakers hated the games industry. So their response was that's awesome. Right? And so the games industry invented network based play like warcraft which quickly became larger than all of the other games ever invented. So they'll adapt or they'll die right? I mean we have video games before we had subsidy hardware we'll have video games after we had subsidy hardware and if the question is do we get to know about vulnerabilities and consoles in our living rooms with that to have subsidy hardware for you know Mario reboots I'll take the I'll take the like knowing about the the phones and the cameras. Do we have any people who identify as women or non-binary who'd like to ask the next question? Anyone? All right do we have any dudes who'd like to ask a question? Thank you. There's been discussion about applying DRM to allow people to protect their private information when they share with a website or some sort of a service. Can you come in on how what do you think about that? Yeah so what about IRM which is what this was called when Microsoft first launched it information rights management so the ideas I encrypt the data I send it to you you have a client that has the keys to decrypt it the client looks for business rules that come along with the encrypted document like no print and it enforces those rules against you so again this is a great tool inside a firm if you want to make sure that OPSEC just happens automatically right like if the thing is that you and I have agreed that after we've both looked at this document and dispensed with it we're not going to retain it right we have like a seven year document retention window we want to dispose of everything after seven years so that there's ever a lawsuit against us the discovery of you that's a great tool but if the idea is that like I'm a giant company based in either Mountain View or Redmond or Cupertino and you are going to send me a bunch of personally identifying compromising information but you're going to like lock it up with DRM that I will run the client that you trust and I'll make sure that and that software will make sure that I never do do anything untoward with it that seems really like technologically implausible right we're back to like it would be awesome if gravity didn't work sometimes right if you don't trust your adversary and you send them both the keys to decrypt the document and the document and then you ask them nicely not to do bad things with that information it seems really unlikely that that'll work right like we have you know attacks on like DRM encrypted ebooks that are totally non encryption breaking like screen scripting where you just run a screen scripting toolkit that just advances the page once a second screenshots the predictable rectangle it shows up on and runs it through OCR right so you send me a million line spreadsheet it's in a machine readable type face it's just not that hard for me to convert that back to machine readable data with no restrictions and so the fact that it did work doesn't mean that it does work right it needs to be technologically plausible as well as a good idea and the problem is that the way that we defend that today is by saying well you go to jail if you report a vulnerability that would allow you to do that kind of thing it doesn't as we've seen it doesn't stop bad guys whatever your definition of bad guy is whether that state level actors that sit in your own government's capital or state level or identity thieves or voyeurs it doesn't stop them from violating the law it's a bit like the rule against extracting keys to rip DVDs right like if you're already prepared to share a DVD and break the law the fact that extracting keys to rip the DVD also breaks the law is not much of a deterrent you know it's like a law I was going to break this law but then I found out I'd be breaking another law so I stopped breaking the law right it doesn't seem likely that's going to happen I'm all for having things that have personal information and I love ideas like going to insurance underwriters and reinsurers and saying you know you're allowing the companies that you write policies for to treat personal information as though the only cost associated with it is hard drives and really what you should be doing is factoring in the full cost of the eventual breach of that information because we have exactly one gold standard for not having information breaches and that's not collecting and retaining information right and so companies that are getting insurance to write them cheap policies because for some reason insurers are acting like there's no risk to retaining PII that's crazily done and I think that you know like not passing laws that require deep document retention like we have in the EU and like are being proposed in the U.S. that's also a really good way to get away from this stuff right now a lot of firms are bound through compliance to gather and retain proof of age which in practice means credit card numbers for everyone who visits the website to make sure that they're over 18 or they'll be blocked at the national firewall of the U.K. which was in the U.S. and that's just asking for trouble you know David Cameron the prime minister of the United Kingdom a country I've just emigrated from those two U.K. which was instituted in the last parliament and you know given that porn sites are not better than the office of personnel management and protecting themselves from breaches what he's just said is we are going to gather and then release a financial net worth indexed record of the pornography tastes of everyone in the United Kingdom right this is a crazily fantasy we just need to like stop mandating that companies retain PII because we should assume that the breach will always occur are we for time two minutes anyone have a really quick question preferably someone female or non-binary yes go just shout is there a list of companies that are friendly towards 1201 versus not friendly there is a bit of one if you look at the 1201 docket at the copyright office the 1201 is a requirement to stay intact an apple is one of them although they Steve Jobs wrote that letter saying DRM sucks and although one of the jailbreaking exemptions that has been granted at the last couple triennials is a jailbreaking exemption for phones though not tablets because the copyright office says it can't tell the difference between a tablet and a laptop which suggest that they probably say the sky will fall if you're allowed to decide what software runs on your iPhone so there are a bunch of these companies that and you can also see the companies that insisted that DRM should be a work product of the W3C if you look at them those are kind of the big ones there are you know on the other side there are companies that kind of play both sides of the fence you know when Amazon launched the mp3 store and their slogan was DRM don't restrict me right then they launched the then they bought Audible which had which sells digital audio books and they said by the way if you make audio books and sell them through our platform which is responsible for 90% of the audiobook sales in the world and as the sole supplier spoke in word to the iTunes store you must have DRM so a lot of those companies play both sides no stars press people's table over in the champagne room there are books in the champagne room there's no something else in the champagne room but there are books there and I will see you there thank you and support EFF


Hello everybody. My name is Federico Arisa. I work at Matrix here in Montreal in the West Island, if we can call that Montreal. Actually, I just proposed this talk because I'm looking for somebody. I need somebody to work with me at Matrix, so if there are physicists that know Python and they love to code and they love to go into the lab, please contact me afterwards. Okay, I'm going to start with something simple just to describe what is to characterize a camera. I guess everybody knows what a camera is, right?  So let's see if we can do it. Man, the resolution is crappy. Is it focused or is it my resolution? Okay. Give me a second. I always wanted to do this. I always wanted to try to do... What? Okay. First, I'm just going to show you more or less what it implies camera characterization. Let's say we have a camera. Because it's a second screen, I can... Sorry, I'm going to turn myself a little bit. Oh, yeah. This is not going to... Okay, okay. From... And on top of that, this little device, it has a little bit of lag between what I type and what I see on the screen. Camera, let's say from... All right, whoops. Just make sure. Okay, let's try it. Okay. Yeah, it worked. Okay. Numpai and... Mad blood live. Yeah. No? Mad blood. What's... Mad blood live. No. Man, this is not going to work, actually. I mean, this is taking too long. Let's try just opening one that I have already just in case. Okay. You see? Okay. Basically, characterization, a camera implies I have a camera. Here, it's just a little camera simulator in Python in the EMV81238 model that I'm the author of that model. And what a camera does is just give you great images. Very exciting, you know, all the sexiness of noise. Here is... No, because a camera, you don't characterize a camera with the lens and with a hot cheek in the front. No, that's not the way to characterize a camera, unfortunately. If not, I would have a lot of fun in my lab. Is basically taking images without the lens of a light source that gives you gray images. In this case, it's a fake color, so it's kind of bluish. But that's what a camera does. And what you do is basically you just increase the intensity of the light and measure some things. For example, here, I measure the radiance that I'm giving to the camera, the intensity of the light, basically. I measure the mean value and the standard deviation of the image. And what it gives me, if it gives me something, sometime, yeah? Let me see. I don't see it. You see it? I don't see it. Whoops, it's not here. Why? Oh, okay, here. It tells me, camera tells me, I increase the amount of light here in the X axis. And what I get is the output of the camera increases, and then it gets to saturation and it doesn't increase anymore. It means it's white. Very exciting. And then if I check the noise, I say, hey, look at the noise. It increases and increases. It gets to saturation and then, bam, back to zero. Again, that's what it's supposed to happen. This is a simulation assimilated camera, so it works fairly well as a simulated camera. Now, let's go for the presentation, right? What steps are involved in characterizing a camera? The first is the image capture, then I'm going to do some data extraction from the images that I capture, then data processing on the data and that data, then showing the results, and finally generating a report. And believe me, it's Python everywhere. There is no single part that doesn't have Python. The image capture is the most difficult part. Why?  If you have a USB, a geeky camera, a camera link, one of those freaky wireless cameras, you don't know what it is. You don't know what format it is coming. You don't know what libraries you have to talk to the camera to be able to grab images. And you don't know what format they're going to give you the image in. Everybody thinks a format is PNG, but no. If you're lucky, you get teeth. In industrial cameras, I'm talking about industrial cameras, not the everyday camera. Even everyday camera, you take a Canon, you take it with a hacker development kit and you get the raw images. Good luck opening those. That extraction. Okay. Just to show you something, for example, here, I'm going to give me a second. I'm going to show you what we're not going to do the image capture here. I'm just going to show you what it is. It's hundreds and hundreds of images with different exposure times, with different lighting. That's it. That's all. Just to make it simpler, we get a file that tells me each image, what exposure time, what amount of light do I have for each image. That's it. Now, in this guy, let's see. I have it here. I'm going to start. Then I just call the directory that we were talking about with all the images. And I call a script that just parses the file and then parses the files and tell me what images do I have. And tell me, ah, you have all those images. Then I'm going to load the images. Group. It takes a little bit because it's... Then I'm going to show the data that I can extract from those images. It's very exciting data. It's additions, variances, temporal noise, spatial noise, a couple of extra information regarding the amount of light. All that. So, the data extraction is basically a bunch of little scripts, like open the image, get the image, and then append, make an array with the main values and the standard deviation values, these kinds of things. It's a lot of different functions that do these kinds of things, but just to give you an idea. Then it comes the data processing. Now I have all my data, what do I do with it? I start doing that analysis for the data guys over there. I do some little regressions on my data just to fit lines, to make sure I have a straight line, what I'm supposed to have a straight line. I do a couple of FFTs for the physicists. This, for example, these kind of things I do. FFTs in the X axis, but average on the Y axis. It's fun. Did I say I was looking for an employee? Yeah. So, I take my data, I process it, and I get results. Boom.  All kind of things that are important for camera characterization. What kind of noise do you have? What is the sensitivity of your camera? What is the quantum efficiency of your camera? What is the dark current of your camera? That kind of things that will affect the performance of your camera while using it, actually using it for whatever you are using it. If it's for space exploration, you need one kind of behavior. If it's for industrial, you have another one. If it's for commercial use, like taking photos for a catalog is another kind of noise, another kind of characterization that you need. And then, for example, here, we see the results. We're going to check the results. What is important in the results? I have the quantum efficiency. It tells me 45. What 45 said? It said 45% of photons are transforming to electrons. That's physics, but it's done by Python. And I just can print all the results that I have. If you might be interested, I guess you are not. And then I can plot the results. Let me see if it went somewhere. Yeah. And I get tons of images, tons of graphics showing the behavior of my camera. It says, okay, for example, these feats that I made, I say, oh, okay. Look, I have a little bit of deviation here. How is the noise? Oh, it's not that bad. It closes to ideal. Sensitivity. Is it sensitive enough? Yeah, kind of. In the dark. How does it behave in the dark? Normally, one important thing, if you are going to remember one thing from this stock is if your camera doesn't have noise, it's not a good camera. Really.  They are cheating you. It has to have noise, have to have noise. Linearity. How linear is my camera? Deviation from linearity. Oh, look, I deviate from linearity. If it's perfectly linear, it's not a good camera. There are no real cameras that are perfectly linear. Sorry, sorry. What is linearity? Linearity, it means every single step in intensity of light should give you the same increase in response from the camera if it's perfectly linear. But it's not exactly like that. It always deviates a little bit. I do, we do histograms. The histograms that we're talking about, the FFTs that we were showing before, we do a little bit of histograms, FFTs, sorry.  Let's see. It doesn't matter. CCD is going to behave a little bit better if it's a good CCD. If not, but the regular camera is a CMOS. So it's kind of basically the same today. The behavior is not that different. Results that we were talking about, what kind of things do we see? How sensitive is the camera? How much noise do I have? How much, how much the noise increases with temperature? That's important for you if you are taking pictures in the hot, you're in Cuba. Or I don't know. I mean, I would like to, that's performed well in low light. Does it highlight intensity if you are taking pictures of cars in the traffic? That kind of things. And this is the kind of graphics that I had to produce with that. Then it comes the report generation. I did a huge amount of templates with GINJA and I put all the results that we saw before with all those little and LATIC included of a LATIC name and all that. And it's supposed to work. Let's say, let's see. Report and let's see. I say generate my report. Come on. I have to close the image, sorry. Ah, nice. Now let's see. I'm going to get my terminal over there just to show you. And the report is generated here. I'm going to compile it. Let's compile it three times because everybody who knows LATIC, it's better to compile it three times. No? And FitPage. Of course, I didn't do it with my company logo. This is the generic report that is generated from that. And it's basically this with all the information that we saw before passing by GINJA. Have you ever used GINJA before? It's awesome. Right? So, and I just include all the graphics and I have a nice PDF to send to my clients. Okay. That's basically what it is. We have four minutes for questions. Please, questions. I beg you. Is the reference implementation for the standard. I am part of the group of the standard group. And we meet in Germany twice a year to talk about the standard, to discuss what the algorithms we should use and all that. And this is the reference implementation of the standard. The standard is aligned with the code. I mean, it's kind of of, let's say I had the option of making my own code and making my code the same as the older companies code. Or I had the option to make my code the standard. So, guess who has to be exactly the same as the other? They have to be exactly the same as me. Right? It's a little advantage of the open source. Oh, sorry. In vacuum? No, I'm not measuring quantum dots. I know. I'm measuring quantum efficiency. Quantum efficiency is just the amount of photons, the percentage of photons that are transformed in electrons during the photoelectric process. Because it's a diffused light, the alignment is not that important. You have a diffused light? It's not a laser. Exactly. It's not a laser. It's just an LED source with a narrow band spectrum. So, you just have to put your camera in front, more or less in the center.  And you're good to go. So, you measure visible light and does that matter? Do you measure only in the visible light spectrum or do you measure in red or all the while? And does that matter? Yeah, it matters because it depends on the response of your camera, what you want to measure. In general, if your camera is for, let's say human use, we would measure in green specifically and if we have time in red and blue. But you can measure in infrared or in ultraviolet, whatever is point of your interest. Sorry, you have a question before? Yeah.  Really. I should put it here. We don't have network. It's in GitHub. If you go to GitHub, check EMBL 1288. And there you go. It's open source. It depends whether you're going to use your camera for. It's basically that what parameters of all those long list of parameters you're interested, it depends what are you using your camera for. Low light, high light, the middle, the noise, the dark current, temperature, all that. And not really because it depends on the specific camera. It's not, the best guess today would be to go for a USB 3, USB 3 vision camera. That would be the easiest kind of. No, because you have to characterize the camera that you need. It's not, it's not the other way around. You don't, you don't find a camera to be able to characterize to use it. If you find a camera that you want to use and then you characterize it. Yeah. Sorry. I never use a simple tip. I just fall in love with Ginger too and we are lovers since the beginning. Yeah, I'm faithful. You're right, girl. The task is basically answering questions from clients. The task is, is this camera good enough for X? Is this camera going to behave well doing that? Hmm. Is this camera, how could this camera is more expensive than this one? Is it worth it? Why do you think we have a standard and an open source tool to characterize the cameras? Marketing, you can never trust marketing. To work underwater? That's nice. Apart from the fact that it has to be IP67 or IP68 or something like that to be able to go underwater, then it depends on the, what light wavelengths you are going to look for. It really depends on that. And then temperature is not going to be an issue, I guess, unless it's boiling water. So you can, you can get rid of the, of the dark current problems and that kind of things that you concentrate on, on your range of intensities. I think we're done. Okay, thank you everybody.


And so what we did, we took computers and we used them as metaphors, so we don't need to study humans, study computers deeply enough, we will gain insights about humans. Again, it's a fallacy. It's a fallacy on so many levels and I don't know where to start. It's anti-scientific. We never do this in science. We never study one entity with the assumption that this way we can totally decipher the higher functions of another entity. You learn everything there is to learn about computers, including artificial intelligence, including artificial intelligence that behaves unpredictably has emergent phenomena, epiphenome. If you do this, then you learn everything there is to learn about computers and artificial intelligence and extremely little about the higher functions of humans. And so we need to regain humility. We need to regain humility. We need to begin to understand that psychology is a more rigorous form of literature that cannot provide us with insights which are deeper or better than literature. We can't view psychology with meaning and with direction and with goal. This is a classic mistake in science. It's called teleology because we cannot contemplate a meaningless world. I've discussed this in my nothingness videos. So we form our own meaning. We invent all kinds of things. Or we become the meaning. That's narcissism. In the process we sacrifice everything and everyone around us. The pursuit of meaning and the addiction to hope and the aversion to risk are the three greatest curses of the previous century in this one. They lead us to extinction, these three witches, Macbeth witches. They lead us to extinction as a species. Okay, Meanie and I wish you good night and good luck, wherever you are or maybe.


Hi, I'm Dr. Amy Patel and I'm the president of the American Association for Women in Radiology and Chair of the American College of Radiology, Radiology Advocacy Network and RadPAC. I'm so proud to be a woman physician and I want to just say a happy National Women's Physician Day to all of the women physicians in medicine and particularly in radiology. I would never be a physician without the support of my mom who just played such an incredible role in supporting me As well as those who really fostered my career growth and made sure I became a radiologist Those such as Dr. Melissa Risotto de Christensen, Dr. Kimberly Wheelie And those that just continue to foster and support me relentlessly such as Dr. Geraldine McGinty and Dr. Ruth Carlos We're just you know has a young radiologist You know facing mid-career you reflect upon those women leaders in our field And thank you to all women physicians who have blazed a trail for us and those who are continuing to blaze the trail for the future Hi, my name is Susie Bash. I'm a neuro radiologist at RadNet I'd like to wish everyone a happy National Women's Physician Day 37% of all US physicians are women and I'd like to celebrate the role that women are playing in advancing the field of medicine. My particular passion is AI Applications in advanced neuroimaging and it's an honor for me to work alongside other women and men to hopefully help drive progress in innovation in medicine


Welcome to day two. I'm Madiko from Web Developer Relation Team at Chrome. This is a bit different from the usual Chrome Dev Summit section, which we mostly focus on by platform technology. But this time, I'm going to share how we've been working this year. Just as a reminder, before we start, I will mention ongoing public health crisis, as well as natural disasters and many more social movements for change. And for me and for, I'm sure, for many of you too, it is a very emotionally charged topic. So please be mindful in the comments section. This year prompted a lot of change in the way we look at current status quo, and we all needed to adapt to change really quick. And I find myself talking to my friend often and asking them how other teams are dealing with this year. So I wanted to share with you how we've been adapting in hope that you also find those conversations interesting. Let's wind back to March. At the beginning of March, when the threat of COVID-19 in the United States was getting more serious, a small group of us was supposed to have in-person hack week in Boston, because we were in the middle of building Tooling Report. Our new information site was released in June. Just a week before our scheduled hack week, international travel became out of questions. But we couldn't just not do hack week, we had a deadline to head and everybody already cleared the calendar. So we decided to try having hack week virtually. Our team is split into different time zones. So we tried to have being in the same room atmosphere for few hours a day when all of us are working together. How this works is that we created a video chat room where everybody can join. And most of the time we mute ourselves and heads down writing code on our own. And occasionally somebody unmute and share their playlist. And when you have questions or things that needs to get discussed, you unmute and say, hey, what do you think of doing this? And at the moment, everybody can start discussing and resolve that issue right at the moment. So this setup worked surprisingly well. And this virtual conference room became a frequent activity in our team beyond that hack week, especially early on in our work from home journey. There's also been more intentionally organized non-work virtual events too, like game time, dedicated time to just chat. And of course, we can't forget pet photo sharing thread. Other thing that moved to virtual setting is conference and events. And this was big change for us because presenting and attending an in-person event is huge part of what we do as a team. Since we couldn't gather in person anymore, we shifted to virtual event. But it wasn't just like record a session and uploaded to the internet, right? Usually when we shoot these video for YouTube, we are incredibly privileged to have access to studio space with professional lighting and camera equipment. But now everybody had to record a session from their own home. So how it works, including this video shoot, is that I'm on a video call with producers and directors, screen sharing camera remote app on my laptop, which is connected to my camera, so that they can make sure all of my recording settings are collect. This is how a video gets made these days. And I just wanna mention that we were incredibly lucky to have support of a production team and video editors to be able to switch to the more recordings and virtual conference set up so smoothly. It is not just video production. There's comment moderators, persons who prepare closed caption and translations and many, many more work grows into playing events like this. Going beyond working virtually, this year, Lili highlighted how clinical the web is to stay connected, stay informed and do things that keeps our daily life going, right? I've seen countless online spreadsheets to track clinical resources needs, volunteer signups. I've seen my local butcher and bakery adapt online order form and payment system, sometimes overnight, and many of us developers had ours to do something and started building, like helpmainstreet.com, which let you find local business and buy gift cards or order online while local economy slow down, or not 911, which is a PWA that help you find alternative resource to resolve community issues without calling the police. And there are many, many more of these, but of course everything happened in such intensity that not everything went smooth and people experienced a lot of frustration on the web too. In response to COVID-19 pandemic, our team has put together a list of helpful resources in one page, from how to diagnose a performance issue to how to add structural data. So important announcements are properly surfaced on search. It was originally put together in response to the public health crisis, but I think same guys apply to any project trying to address people's critical needs. After all, good web development practice is appreciated not only in the regular time, but also in the time of needs. And I bring this up not to say, hey, our team knows the best practices, no, but to remind us all that doing good web development helps people. I'm based in New York City, an epicenter of global pandemic and one of the major US city where people marched on the street for leisure justice. And while everything else is going on, people around me were building something to help others, but I was lost. I didn't know what I could do and I felt powerless and I still feel lost. And in case you are also feeling that way, I would like to remind us that what we do day-to-day as a web developer could be critical action to somebody else. That log-in form you spent time building or the accessibility feature you added or that bit of performance tuning you did do contribute to somebody else's life getting a little easier. I'd like to end this session with a little bit of a story about how we are reacting to call for equality, particularly for Black class members of the community. When trying to address systemic issues, it is not just do one thing and fix everything. There are so many things we need to work on and we are working on many projects, which I hope to share with you soon, but I want to call out one particular point about language and words, because even in the most well-meaning team, language we use can still hurt somebody and contribute to systemic racism. So this year, we started to take more direct action in changing the language we use. We started to search non-inclusive language in our codebase. We started putting inclusive language reminders on our PolyQuest and starting to part away from Master of Lunch convention that we've been using. And we are rewriting team's mission statement to put our value into words, clarifying our core values and what we care beyond just technical achievements. This work is just starting now, but I cannot wait to share with you in the future. I'm particularly invested in this topic because I am based in US and I live in New York City. So it's my reality. But I know around the globe, many of you are participating in call for different calls for disaster relief, for justice, for democracy, safety, and many more. And our team certainly tried to be informed, but it's hard to know as much as the person who is actively participating in it. So if you see something we do as out of place or stepping on something, please call us out. And if you need particular help, please let us know. I know this session was a bit unusual for us, but I hope we keep having these conversations so that it doesn't feel unusual anymore next year. Thank you for being here. And I look forward to chatting with you in comment section. Enjoy your session stay.


So we had the ID TechHack show and who are you? My name is Andre and I actually work at this booth right here We're doing class one and class two medical devices. We're gonna start with the shiatsu right here This is literally a mobile massage chair It goes up to 104 degrees which beats your body temperature by a few you just increase the heat right here Turn it on and it does the magic. How do you how do you wear it? You actually just put it on your shoulders, okay? We normally say zipper down put it right here on your shoulders You apply it like this and this is how you apply the pressure, okay? You apply and use your own pressure press the button right here Okay, now this right here.  These are TSA approved everything on this table is TSA approved What is TSA approved? So this is clear through TSA.  Yes, sir It's got its 12 different treatments acupuncture Alex is this a kind of like Yes, sir Transcontinental electrical nerve stimulation also electrical muscle stimulation like I said it makes your muscles contract What that does is it break down your lactic acid build up which causes knots and soreness, excuse me It also increases the circulation of blood flow throughout your muscles Which reduces inflammation and it reduces recovery time now. This is what we chiropractors are using for e-stem Now like I was saying these are TSA approved so you can use this on the plane It is a class 2 medical device. All right, and it is FDA classified. What does it mean class 2? Class 2 is something like 10 years ago You would have to have a prescription to use or to own it was about this big and you definitely wasn't TSA approved So it's something that you can't normally get over the counter We do tech shows and we do doctor shows that it gives us more of a classification and So in a box like this, how much it costs? Online they are 550 550 dollars? Yes, sir And these things clip on there's two of them you clip them on different places. Yes, they clip on and off They also clip on to our moropathy slippers. I'm gonna introduce these. These are moropathy slippers, okay? They use the same type of technology, okay? They fit all And it uses acupuncture just like this now like these are your 12 treatments acupuncture the top three Muscle the second three and muscle and nerve the last six. All right You can use this and plug it in its dual port so you can put it in two locations at once on your body or plug Your slippers in as well you clip these on and off If you want to conserve instead of buying new pads and new pads and new pads you can throw them in boiling That's what I do with my unit I throw mine into a boiling pot of water for about three to five minutes Regains a stickiness and it's as good as new. It also kills all the bacteria, too So this is for people now this is for anything with people that have this all over the body But these lipids in particular helps with moropathy plantifleshitis any type of arthritis, okay? Any type of joint pain? Fibromyosia and How does it with arthritis as people have arthritis in the feet or not only for the feet? Where the food is just to treat the food it is it is normally more for direct treatment on your foot, okay? Obviously, but what also it does help is it helps get into your pressure points So some of these pressure points that it hits can help with headaches nausea Insomnia dizziness things of that sort that you would never expect for it to hit But it does get into the acupuncture. It uses microcurrents So and it goes up to 20 250 pounds of pressure every time you add intensity adds 12 and a half pounds of pressure So just imagine when you notch it up all the way. You're gonna feel the sensation Completely and utterly you know that man. So this is proven to work. Yes, sir. Totally. Yes, so who says like the Well, we could start with our customers prescribe this I actually her name was Glenda and yesterday I just sold two two What are they called cases? I sold two cases to Glenda. She's a medical director in San Diego and she bought 20 of them and She's literally got them all set up. She sent us a picture She's got them all set up in her office and she's selling them at her place, too And what it does is like I was saying for arthritis you wanted to be specific It does help the circulation of blood flow like I was saying now that with the circulation of blood flow throughout your muscles You have more circulation of blood flow throughout your entire body. All right now with that you have more range in motion You know your muscles are more malleable your pain receptors are more accessible and it numbs the area that it's covering So it blocks your pain receptors as well So it serves as a holistic substitute for your Advil your ibuprofen like I said this thing helps with migraines headaches insomnia Things like that where people normally go for the pill bottle or a prescription. You know what I mean? This is a substitute right here. It's healthier. It's healthier. It's natural people love it the chiropractors use it It's FDA approved. It's a class 2 medical device and it's TSA approved. That's really the game changer You can use all these products on the plane. So that's really what's coming the game So let's say somebody has arthritis that's triggered at the knee. Where would you plug this in above under the knee?  You say knee pain arthritis in the knee, okay? It tells you 56 57 58 on the back, okay? Then that's where that's exactly where you apply it So if you want to go for literal treatment at home and treat yourself 20-minute increments three times a day go to your acupuncture chart It'll tell you where to apply the pads. That's where you apply it You crank it up to your comfort zone because it does go up to 20 in intensity you start at zero You get comfortable. It's got 12 different treatments. Like I said, my favorite is shiatsu It literally imitates a deep tissue massage it imitates the shiatsu itself But with via micro current so just imagine that sensation. How much is the shiatsu machine? Those are running 280 online plus tax $280 280. Yep, and this is Yes, sir, those are 550 online, but when we do these shows we do specials so people kind of get a treat and they luck out They luck out. Um, you don't want to say I do want to say but it really does vary the shows It is I mean like right now we could we could work out a way better deal than we could the first day at the way beginning You know what I mean? So how about where you based based in Las Vegas, Nevada? This company came out 1999. I've been doing this kind of stuff since then. Yes, sir Yes, sir. This tech this type of therapy has been out since about don't quote me But I think roughly around 1919. Okay. It was patent in America around like 1960 through 1970s Like I said, don't call me but when I did start working here. I did a little bit of research So Proven Treatment, what is this one? That's a little bit more pricey, but people do love it what this does is it literally tones and defines you a six pack It makes you a six pack It's not magic in a box like my boss loves to say but it does do its job Okay, it does tone and define your muscles. It does circulate the blood flow throughout them So think about doing a ab workout, but at the same time you're circulating the blood flow of your muscles So you're kind of curing your muscles rather than making them sore when you work out you get sore because there's build up a lactic acid, correct? Do you also sell massage chairs? We do sell massage chairs. I'm glad you asked this one. Yes, sir That's a big one. Excuse me. That's a big one. And you know what? That's not just a picture That's a pamphlet and it comes with a bunch of information now. These things are going for $8,000 online. All right now businesses love these corporate people Airports, okay malls stuff like that. Those people go crazy. Now if you are interested yourself We go by IQ tech LV The wholesale director's name is Zane and there's his phone number<PHONE_NUMBER> again<PHONE_NUMBER> that's the Las Vegas phone and that is the wholesale director That is the guy. I tell you that all right All right, cool. So what what else is happening in the future? So what else is happening in the fuses? We're gonna continue doing these shows.  It has 18 treatments. We've got all types of more product We've got more than just a six-pack maker. You go on our website We keep doing the IQ massager comm do not forget that IQ massager comm Okay, if you want to check it on the box, here we go IQ get that house How's the ID tech X been for you the show this has been absolutely amazing now? Let me explain from my perspective. I meet people in pain and I help them that is the best part about it Of course we do good sales because there are plenty of people that do need help But that is the best part about it. It's like I said, it's a classroom medical device 10 years ago back down the road You had to have a prescription. You had to go through all these different Clearings and it sure wasn't on the plane with you either People are traveling with these we ship them out to people. We make sure that we give out warranties We have a lifetime warranty.  I do my mom actually my mom actually uses this for migraine She has haji modus disease which is a thyroid based disease and it's it's triggered by gluten and it's stress-induced now She uses it on her honor right here on this pressure point. It's 92 actually on the acupuncture She also uses her migraine clips, okay now when I started doing this company about five months back Took me a couple months after selling the acupuncture chart to notice that it actually does help with migraines I did see it has headaches now like I said haji modus is stress-induced and it's Triggered by gluten my mom gets such bad migraines that she feels like she's having aneurysms, okay now She takes the pills that are bigger than her hand And when I started working here, I noticed that this is this is on the chart So I give it to my mom I take it out of my paycheck I get my mom one and it took like it took about three to four months But there's last two months my mom has not used any of those migraine pills and that's that's the truth You know what I mean, and I got to do that for my own mother So yes, my mom does use it my dad has actually had three surgeries on his knees and I've been begging to let him He's a little bit older, so I've been begging him and let me put him on he's a little more hesitant But one of these days it's gonna be in his hands. I promise you that he's had three surgeries So it's only like it only makes sense. Maybe your mom can convince him exactly we're gonna work on it We're gonna work on it. All right, cool. Thanks a lot. Thank you so much man. There's a pleasure. Thanks
