The Python programming language has been around for over 20 years but recently it feels like its an overnight sensation. Python has moved from being a fringe language for beginners, biologists, and natural language analysis to being the go-to language in nearly every domain of computing. Whlie there is a lot of inertia in the choice of a programming language for a project, the adoption pattern of Python is quite different than "that cool new language that came out a few years ago". While most new programming languages are exciting for early adopters, by the time they are a few years old, many early adopters have moved on to the next big thing and the languages never find their way into the mainstream. Python seems different – Python seems to have a solid and continuously growing market share – and in particular Python seems to invade and take over application areas previously dominated by well-established technologies. We will look at some of the inherent aspects of Python that make it "sticky" – once you go Python you rarely go back or go anywhere else.

This is a talk on failures of solutions: natural, artificial and "intelligent". It'll be a list of stories. Some of them will include: how I got an A+ for making the wrong decision on a thesis how a kaggle competition got hacked how DeepLearning nearly ruined a recommender how a redefinition of a problem saved people from hunger how a timeseries problem could not be solved until it got ignored My goal is to show that in order to solve a data problem, it might be good to take a step back once in a while and to try to see the bigger picture.

In this talk, top ranked white-hat hacker Frans Rosén will focus on methodologies and results of attacking modern web technologies. He will explain how he accessed private Slack tokens by using postMessage and WebSocket-reconnect, and how vulnerable configurations in both AWS and Google Cloud allow attackers to take full control of your assets. Listen to 40 minutes of new hacks, bug bounty stories and learnings that will make you realize that the protocols and policies you believed to be secure are most likely not. You will find out ways to identify security issues in web apps based on vulnerable coding patterns
You will also be able to understand more clearly how using third party services might affect your own business EVENT: Øredev Conference 2018 SPEAKER: Frans Rosén PUBLICATION PERMISSIONS: Conference Organizer provided Coding Tech with the permission to republish this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM53edV1iDg
