WEBVTT - Unsupervised Learning: No. 225

0:00:43.828 --> 0:00:46.548
<v Speaker 1>All right welcome to episode two twenty five starting of

0:00:46.558 --> 0:00:51.848
<v Speaker 1>security news in coronavirus the US Department of Health and

0:00:51.848 --> 0:00:57.588
<v Speaker 1>Human Services ran a flu pandemic simulation in 2019 called

0:00:57.588 --> 0:00:58.868
<v Speaker 1>the Crimson contagion.

0:01:00.128 --> 0:01:03.788
<v Speaker 2>And the key findings from the report. Sound awfully familiar.

0:01:03.788 --> 0:01:07.868
<v Speaker 2>It was basically things like we are prepared we aren't

0:01:07.868 --> 0:01:11.167
<v Speaker 2>communicating well enough we don't have enough supplies.

0:01:11.168 --> 0:01:16.508
<v Speaker 3>So all the standard fare Amazon has deployed thermal cameras

0:01:16.508 --> 0:01:20.148
<v Speaker 3>to detect fevers faster than with thermometers.

0:01:20.468 --> 0:01:24.398
<v Speaker 4>Facebook will start telling users if they've interacted with harmful

0:01:24.458 --> 0:01:29.458
<v Speaker 4>misinformation around covered 19 it's kind of like contact tracing

0:01:29.458 --> 0:01:30.618
<v Speaker 4>for better information.

0:01:32.358 --> 0:01:35.148
<v Speaker 3>Over fifty three mobile phone towers have been attacked in

0:01:35.148 --> 0:01:39.988
<v Speaker 3>the UK by 5G. Conspiracy theorists and by the way

0:01:39.988 --> 0:01:44.178
<v Speaker 3>I got an email from one of these people and

0:01:44.228 --> 0:01:47.357
<v Speaker 3>they were like Yeah you're wrong about the Facebook story

0:01:47.398 --> 0:01:51.478
<v Speaker 3>wrong about the 5G thing because it's really dangerous and

0:01:51.478 --> 0:01:53.698
<v Speaker 3>it just went down the list of conspiracy theories and

0:01:53.698 --> 0:01:57.268
<v Speaker 3>said I was wrong about them because they're all true.

0:01:57.268 --> 0:02:02.568
<v Speaker 5>So definitely tested out my spam future my mail client.

0:02:05.568 --> 0:02:10.248
<v Speaker 4>India has instituted mandatory checks on Chinese investments during the

0:02:10.248 --> 0:02:14.268
<v Speaker 4>crisis in order to avoid China basically buying the country

0:02:14.798 --> 0:02:19.288
<v Speaker 4>while nobody is looking got a cool story here on

0:02:19.288 --> 0:02:25.668
<v Speaker 4>visualizing the occupations with the highest who virus risk Google

0:02:25.688 --> 0:02:30.128
<v Speaker 4>is slowing hiring for the rest of 2020 Amazon is

0:02:30.127 --> 0:02:33.988
<v Speaker 4>hiring 75000 more workers to keep up with demand.

0:02:35.488 --> 0:02:38.878
<v Speaker 3>There are multiple conspiracy groups spreading the narrative that Bill

0:02:38.877 --> 0:02:41.788
<v Speaker 3>Gates wants to use his vaccine research as a cover

0:02:41.788 --> 0:02:43.358
<v Speaker 3>to microchip people.

0:02:43.438 --> 0:02:46.498
<v Speaker 5>Oh by the way this this reader also sent me

0:02:46.498 --> 0:02:49.407
<v Speaker 5>that and said that was incorrect and said that Bill

0:02:49.408 --> 0:02:54.388
<v Speaker 5>Gates wants to kill everyone on the planet. Facebook has

0:02:54.387 --> 0:02:59.877
<v Speaker 5>canceled all large events through June of 2021. And frame

0:03:00.058 --> 0:03:04.317
<v Speaker 5>is a mental health gateway out of Los Angeles that

0:03:04.317 --> 0:03:08.638
<v Speaker 5>connects patients and mental health professionals. It's kind of a

0:03:09.118 --> 0:03:11.038
<v Speaker 5>two sided portal. Pretty cool idea.

0:03:12.817 --> 0:03:16.118
<v Speaker 3>Riot Games is offering up to one hundred thousand dollars

0:03:16.118 --> 0:03:19.327
<v Speaker 3>to people who can find vulnerabilities in their VA Laurent

0:03:19.478 --> 0:03:24.147
<v Speaker 3>anti cheat system great team over there at Riot Games.

0:03:24.368 --> 0:03:26.858
<v Speaker 5>Know a bunch of bunch of them. It's a really

0:03:26.858 --> 0:03:27.728
<v Speaker 5>really solid team.

0:03:30.148 --> 0:03:34.198
<v Speaker 4>Zoom has hired Kate my sources Luda security to revamp

0:03:34.197 --> 0:03:41.108
<v Speaker 4>their bug bounty program congrats to Katy for that rapid

0:03:41.108 --> 0:03:45.998
<v Speaker 4>7 has launched something called attacker K.B. which is a

0:03:45.998 --> 0:03:49.318
<v Speaker 4>service for crowdsourcing vulnerability assessments.

0:03:49.318 --> 0:03:54.788
<v Speaker 2>It's an interesting entry into the quasi bounty market where

0:03:55.178 --> 0:03:59.858
<v Speaker 2>you're using collections of experts to solve tedious problems. And

0:04:00.128 --> 0:04:04.328
<v Speaker 2>yeah this is really interesting it's different than the standard.

0:04:06.008 --> 0:04:10.648
<v Speaker 2>Standard approach they're what they seem to be doing is

0:04:10.768 --> 0:04:17.548
<v Speaker 2>reading a vulnerability by how practical it is to actually

0:04:17.548 --> 0:04:21.088
<v Speaker 2>attack it in the real world and using a group

0:04:21.088 --> 0:04:24.477
<v Speaker 2>of actual attackers to do that reading they might be

0:04:24.478 --> 0:04:28.348
<v Speaker 2>doing more than that but seems pretty interesting. Attacker QB.

0:04:31.358 --> 0:04:35.438
<v Speaker 2>Advisories Patch Tuesday address 3 0 days and 15 credit

0:04:35.438 --> 0:04:38.798
<v Speaker 2>goals for one hundred and thirteen and total there's a

0:04:38.798 --> 0:04:44.318
<v Speaker 2>DNS Hijacking attack going around targeting links this router users

0:04:44.438 --> 0:04:47.588
<v Speaker 2>and links this is notifying customers to reset their passwords.

0:04:48.488 --> 0:04:51.788
<v Speaker 2>As AP patch five critical volumes. And there's a nasty

0:04:51.788 --> 0:04:54.787
<v Speaker 2>bug in VM or center view Center which allows you

0:04:54.788 --> 0:04:59.198
<v Speaker 2>to grab sensitive data and also add admin users. If

0:04:59.198 --> 0:05:06.058
<v Speaker 2>you're on the network without credentials. Companies are weak. Security

0:05:06.058 --> 0:05:09.168
<v Speaker 2>has raised 36 million to identify threats on the network

0:05:11.298 --> 0:05:14.188
<v Speaker 2>interface look pretty cool but knows how good it is.

0:05:14.358 --> 0:05:20.238
<v Speaker 4>Similar interesting technology news left is pivoting to delivering groceries

0:05:20.268 --> 0:05:24.168
<v Speaker 4>and other essential items while people were locked down. Stripe

0:05:24.168 --> 0:05:26.748
<v Speaker 4>continues to do well and they just raised six hundred

0:05:26.748 --> 0:05:32.678
<v Speaker 4>million at a nearly thirty six billion dollar valuation github

0:05:32.718 --> 0:05:37.988
<v Speaker 4>is now free for teams really strong power move here

0:05:37.988 --> 0:05:41.628
<v Speaker 4>by GitHub. I think everyone else is freaking out who

0:05:41.678 --> 0:05:46.128
<v Speaker 4>competing against them. For rising has purchased blue jeans to

0:05:46.128 --> 0:05:50.508
<v Speaker 4>get in on the video conferencing hype house party has

0:05:50.628 --> 0:06:00.958
<v Speaker 4>had 50 million sign ups in the last month. Human News.

0:06:03.618 --> 0:06:07.068
<v Speaker 2>San Francisco is experimenting with the relaxation of laws as

0:06:07.068 --> 0:06:11.698
<v Speaker 2>a pandemic coping mechanism crowds are gathering around the country

0:06:11.698 --> 0:06:20.368
<v Speaker 2>to protest social distancing hilarious ideas trends and analysis coded

0:06:20.368 --> 0:06:23.098
<v Speaker 2>will accelerate trends that were already coming. This is the

0:06:23.098 --> 0:06:23.788
<v Speaker 2>piece I wrote.

0:06:24.688 --> 0:06:25.698
<v Speaker 6>I know.

0:06:25.768 --> 0:06:30.318
<v Speaker 2>Within the last week or so a vaccine won't return

0:06:30.318 --> 0:06:33.428
<v Speaker 2>us to normal basic concept here's another essay I wrote.

0:06:33.498 --> 0:06:39.258
<v Speaker 2>It's basically that the way people were sick before like

0:06:39.348 --> 0:06:42.858
<v Speaker 2>getting the common flu or being constantly surrounded by people

0:06:42.858 --> 0:06:46.608
<v Speaker 2>who are sneezing and coughing at work and people sneezing

0:06:46.608 --> 0:06:51.078
<v Speaker 2>coughing on public transportation basically all around us people were

0:06:51.078 --> 0:06:54.228
<v Speaker 2>sick all the time. We had the flu vaccine because

0:06:54.228 --> 0:06:57.858
<v Speaker 2>people got the flu all the time which means cold

0:06:57.858 --> 0:07:02.778
<v Speaker 2>symptoms flu symptoms coughing and sneezing and just generally being sick.

0:07:03.868 --> 0:07:07.618
<v Speaker 2>Was just kind of normal. And it was the type

0:07:07.618 --> 0:07:11.068
<v Speaker 2>of dangerous that people ignore when they're exposed to it.

0:07:12.058 --> 0:07:17.788
<v Speaker 2>And suddenly when we get back to whatever. That is

0:07:17.788 --> 0:07:20.518
<v Speaker 2>not an old normal anymore that is going to look

0:07:20.698 --> 0:07:24.078
<v Speaker 2>super crazy. No one's going to know if that's a cold.

0:07:24.238 --> 0:07:26.818
<v Speaker 2>If it's the flu. If it's cover 19 or if

0:07:26.818 --> 0:07:30.588
<v Speaker 2>it's cover 20 no one is you'll know and that

0:07:30.678 --> 0:07:33.348
<v Speaker 2>I think is going to cause more friction than people

0:07:33.348 --> 0:07:34.168
<v Speaker 2>realize right now.

0:07:34.728 --> 0:07:38.448
<v Speaker 6>So I don't think the vaccine by itself is really

0:07:38.448 --> 0:07:40.008
<v Speaker 6>going to help with that.

0:07:40.008 --> 0:07:48.788
<v Speaker 4>Colm how C.G. ping new era should have ended US

0:07:48.788 --> 0:07:54.298
<v Speaker 4>debate on Beijing's ambitions sharp pronounced that wrong. The leader

0:07:54.298 --> 0:07:57.158
<v Speaker 4>of China basically yeah.

0:07:57.508 --> 0:08:00.808
<v Speaker 2>His new era should have ended US debate on Beijing's ambitions.

0:08:00.808 --> 0:08:05.748
<v Speaker 2>This is a deep level analysis on what China's actually

0:08:05.748 --> 0:08:08.298
<v Speaker 2>trying to do and so is the next paper which

0:08:08.298 --> 0:08:12.078
<v Speaker 2>is China's vision for a new world order. So these

0:08:12.078 --> 0:08:17.948
<v Speaker 2>two papers basically a deep view into what China's actually

0:08:17.948 --> 0:08:20.078
<v Speaker 2>trying to do on the world stage.

0:08:20.108 --> 0:08:24.408
<v Speaker 4>So really good reading and forget the time Marc Andreessen

0:08:24.408 --> 0:08:28.488
<v Speaker 4>says it's time to build. This is a really popular essay.

0:08:28.488 --> 0:08:30.498
<v Speaker 4>He just went around the Internet last week or so.

0:08:32.188 --> 0:08:35.508
<v Speaker 4>And he's basically saying that builders matter right. And builders

0:08:35.628 --> 0:08:38.718
<v Speaker 4>should be prioritized and we should just you know nose

0:08:38.718 --> 0:08:43.798
<v Speaker 4>to the grindstone and build stuff make stuff pretty compelling.

0:08:44.338 --> 0:08:46.648
<v Speaker 4>Although I did see on Hacker News already a pretty

0:08:46.648 --> 0:08:52.168
<v Speaker 4>strong like counter response to it. So we'll see what happens.

0:08:52.168 --> 0:08:53.068
<v Speaker 6>Probably nothing.

0:08:55.428 --> 0:08:57.888
<v Speaker 2>You know how the main characters in spy movies are

0:08:57.918 --> 0:09:01.578
<v Speaker 2>always changing identities. And like they just walked through another

0:09:01.588 --> 0:09:05.058
<v Speaker 2>checkpoint and they give a different passport. That's always confused

0:09:05.058 --> 0:09:07.598
<v Speaker 2>me and annoyed me for like the last 15 years.

0:09:07.727 --> 0:09:10.188
<v Speaker 2>But it's definitely becoming hard to do in real life

0:09:10.518 --> 0:09:15.408
<v Speaker 2>because the technology of facial recognition and identity tracking have

0:09:15.408 --> 0:09:19.247
<v Speaker 2>advanced so much so you could basically subscribe to I'm

0:09:19.338 --> 0:09:22.848
<v Speaker 2>probably a very cheap service and be able to identify

0:09:22.848 --> 0:09:31.908
<v Speaker 2>people by their faces. Updates. So this is really cool

0:09:31.918 --> 0:09:34.757
<v Speaker 2>really excited about this. I'm releasing a new podcast interview

0:09:34.758 --> 0:09:38.598
<v Speaker 2>episode this week and the guest this time is Renee

0:09:38.598 --> 0:09:43.498
<v Speaker 2>de Resta. She's my absolute favorite researcher in the space

0:09:43.498 --> 0:09:47.218
<v Speaker 2>of misinformation campaigns. We had a really great conversation on

0:09:47.218 --> 0:09:50.127
<v Speaker 2>multiple topics and you will get an email with a

0:09:50.128 --> 0:09:52.728
<v Speaker 2>direct link later in the week when it goes live.

0:09:54.638 --> 0:09:59.558
<v Speaker 2>Discovery jumping Fox notebooks. So one of my passions which

0:09:59.558 --> 0:10:03.908
<v Speaker 2>probably now is her world of writing pens notebooks and

0:10:03.908 --> 0:10:08.138
<v Speaker 2>of course typography. And my partner and I took a

0:10:08.888 --> 0:10:15.038
<v Speaker 2>calligraphy class with brown fox calligraphy which no relation brown

0:10:15.038 --> 0:10:20.408
<v Speaker 2>fox vs. jumping Fox to foxes but it was a

0:10:20.408 --> 0:10:23.798
<v Speaker 2>really cool class we got to learn calligraphy and everything

0:10:23.798 --> 0:10:25.928
<v Speaker 2>was right here in San Francisco. That was a couple

0:10:25.928 --> 0:10:30.998
<v Speaker 2>of years ago and she just saw her doing like

0:10:30.998 --> 0:10:35.017
<v Speaker 2>an unboxing and a talk through of this notebook which

0:10:35.018 --> 0:10:40.118
<v Speaker 2>is called Jumping Fox notebooks and they're super nice. The

0:10:40.118 --> 0:10:41.888
<v Speaker 2>best way to describe me I would say is they're

0:10:41.888 --> 0:10:46.357
<v Speaker 2>like most keen plus plus they're just just higher quality.

0:10:46.358 --> 0:10:50.348
<v Speaker 2>Most teens just much better. We got ours in the

0:10:50.348 --> 0:10:54.668
<v Speaker 2>mail today and it's extremely high quality all around. Cover

0:10:54.668 --> 0:11:00.578
<v Speaker 2>paper bookmarks. So if you have a fetish for writing

0:11:00.638 --> 0:11:04.628
<v Speaker 2>in pens and pencils and notebooks should definitely have a

0:11:04.628 --> 0:11:10.868
<v Speaker 2>look download networks. This is a script to download shown

0:11:10.868 --> 0:11:13.118
<v Speaker 2>and data for a list of networks and a text

0:11:13.118 --> 0:11:16.357
<v Speaker 2>file and this was released by John himself.

0:11:18.378 --> 0:11:24.298
<v Speaker 3>The opening eye microscope how to massively overengineered a WordPress

0:11:24.298 --> 0:11:32.258
<v Speaker 3>install and NWS thing is hilarious PR is a vulnerability

0:11:32.258 --> 0:11:36.997
<v Speaker 3>prioritization scheme from tenable that uses machine learning to forecast

0:11:36.998 --> 0:11:41.298
<v Speaker 3>how bad the actual threat will be for a given vulnerability.

0:11:41.438 --> 0:11:48.778
<v Speaker 2>Interesting approach and recommendations if you absolutely must learn everything

0:11:48.898 --> 0:11:53.168
<v Speaker 2>about this virus that's going around. I highly recommend with

0:11:53.608 --> 0:11:59.518
<v Speaker 2>TRW Ivy to podcast with nothing but virus experts and

0:11:59.518 --> 0:12:04.648
<v Speaker 2>doctors discussing everything about the situation. It's so refreshing to

0:12:04.648 --> 0:12:07.768
<v Speaker 2>hear actual experts talking about it amongst themselves in a

0:12:08.098 --> 0:12:11.997
<v Speaker 2>conversational sort of just open and friendly way. It's a

0:12:11.998 --> 0:12:15.808
<v Speaker 2>really really good podcast and it didn't just start like

0:12:15.808 --> 0:12:18.367
<v Speaker 2>to jump on this train or whatever it's there are

0:12:18.368 --> 0:12:23.068
<v Speaker 2>like episode six whatever 600 something so it's a regular

0:12:23.068 --> 0:12:26.008
<v Speaker 2>thing for them. They're all experts you get the latest

0:12:26.008 --> 0:12:30.898
<v Speaker 2>possible news you get conjecture but it's informed educated conjecture

0:12:30.928 --> 0:12:36.698
<v Speaker 2>because it's you know actual experts. And the aphorism for

0:12:36.698 --> 0:12:40.578
<v Speaker 2>the week. Had a few drops of venom to a

0:12:40.578 --> 0:12:43.038
<v Speaker 2>half truth and you have an absolute true.

0:12:44.758 --> 0:12:47.698
<v Speaker 4>Add a few drops of venom to a half truth

0:12:48.298 --> 0:12:51.868
<v Speaker 4>and you have an absolute truth. Eric Hoffer.
