They advocated for concepts like natural rights, social contracts, separation of church and state, freedom of speech and religion, and laissez-faire economics. These Enlightenment thinkers helped spread new philosophical perspectives that challenged absolute rule and promoted individual liberties.
Government and economics 2013
The document discusses changes to government and economics brought about by Enlightenment thinkers. It provides background on the Enlightenment and explains that thinkers used reason and science rather than religion. It then discusses several Enlightenment philosophers' ideas that challenged absolute monarchy and divine right of kings, including theories of social contracts, separation of powers, and individual rights proposed by thinkers like Locke, Montesquieu, Rousseau, and Hobbes. It also explains Adam Smith's ideas of laissez-faire economics that formed the basis for modern capitalism.
Intro to government
This document provides an introduction to principles of government and political systems. It discusses the key features of a state, including population, territory, sovereignty and government. It then covers theories on the origin of the state, such as evolutionary, force, divine right and social contract theories. The document outlines the main purposes of government as maintaining social order, providing public services and national security.

Philosophers
The document discusses several philosophers and their ideas about government and political theory during the Enlightenment period. It describes Thomas Hobbes's view of the social contract and belief in absolute monarchy. John Locke believed in natural rights and the idea that the people can overthrow a government that does not protect those rights. Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote that government should express the will of the people. Baron de Montesquieu promoted separating government into branches with shared powers. These Enlightenment ideas influenced the American colonists in their rebellion against Britain.
The enlightnement day 2
The document discusses the differing views of Thomas Hobbes and John Locke on government. Thomas Hobbes believed that people were inherently evil and needed to be ruled by an all-powerful government, while John Locke believed that people had natural rights and that the purpose of government was to protect those rights through an agreement between the people and the government. Students are asked to discuss which view they agree with more based on the type of government they designed in a previous class. The document also provides questions about philosophers and ideas from the Enlightenment era.
C8 sovereignty
Sovereignty refers to the supreme power over citizens within a state. Bodin defined sovereignty as supreme power unrestrained by law, while Laski saw it as legally supreme coercive power over individuals. Jenks described sovereignty as an authority that controls community actions absolutely. The document discusses types of sovereignty including popular, political, and legal sovereignty. It also distinguishes between de jure and de facto sovereignty as well as nominal and real sovereignty.
Enlightenment philosophers
The document discusses the key ideas of the Enlightenment and their influence on the American Revolution. It outlines the philosophies of four important Enlightenment thinkers - John Locke, who believed that all people have natural rights to life, liberty and property; Jean Jacques Rousseau, who wrote about the social contract and people's right to determine their own governance; Baron de Montesquieu, who promoted separating government into branches with checks and balances; and Adam Smith, who developed theories of economics and capitalism. The document argues that Enlightenment ideas about natural rights, social contracts and divided government formed the cornerstones of American founding documents like the Declaration of Independence and Constitution.

Sovereignty political science
The document discusses the concept of sovereignty from various perspectives. It begins with definitions from early theorists like Jean Bodin and explores different types of sovereignty such as titular vs actual. It then analyzes attributes of sovereignty like permanence and indivisibility. The document also covers criticism of theories from thinkers like Austin and examines the Islamic concept of sovereignty, noting attributes like universality and absolutism. It concludes by arguing that while a democratic entitlement is superficially attractive, it could endanger peace and security.
Locke and rousseau
This document compares the philosophies of John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. John Locke believed in natural rights and a social contract between government and people, where government's role was to protect rights. If government infringed on rights, people could revolt. Rousseau felt society corrupted people and government must save everyone through laws benefiting the majority. Both supported limited government getting power from the people, but early Americans favored Locke's ideas over Rousseau's potential for tyranny of the majority.
The Sovereign Self, The State and Civil Society
The document discusses alternative political and economic ideologies that promote individual freedom and minimal government intervention. It references thinkers like Lao Tzu, who advocated for non-interference and allowing individuals to spontaneously transform. It also discusses free market economics and how capitalism improves standards of living by mass-producing goods for the masses. The document takes an alternative view of issues like climate change, saying it is natural and cyclical rather than man-made. It concludes by advocating for an economic system with small, minimal government and maximum civil society of free individuals.
Locke on the state of nature, property
Hobbes argued that all humans are by nature equal in faculties of body and mind (i.e., no natural inequalities are so great as to give anyone a "claim" to an exclusive "benefit"). From this equality and other causes in human nature, everyone is naturally willing to fight one another: so that "during the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called warre; and such a warre as is of every man against every man". In this state every person has a natural right or liberty to do anything one thinks necessary for preserving one's own life; and life is "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short"
Legitimicy1
This document discusses the concepts of legitimacy, sovereignty, and authority. It defines legitimacy as both the legal right to govern but also the psychological right in people's minds. Legitimacy refers to whether a government's rule is viewed as rightful. Sovereignty originally referred to a monarch's power but now means national control over a country's territory. Authority is the ability of leaders to get others to obey based on their legitimate power. Where legitimacy is weak, sovereignty and authority are also likely to erode as people feel less obligation to obey the government.
On locke
In the state of nature, individuals are free and equal, with perfect liberty to order their actions as they see fit according to the law of nature. They are also in a state of equality, with no subordination or subjection to others. However, without civil government, enforcing property rights and punishing crimes is difficult, putting individuals in a state of instability and potential war. This leads individuals to consent to forming political societies and establishing civil government, with the main purpose being to preserve individuals' property and security. Consent of the majority is what establishes the authority of government.
Sovereignty in Historical Context for Self-Sovereign Identity - Natalie Smole...
This document discusses the concept of sovereignty through history. It explores how sovereignty was viewed in medieval times, when power was seen as derived from God and overlapping between religious and political authorities. It then examines how sovereignty became more centered in the modern state after the Peace of Westphalia. Theories of both unitary and limited sovereignty are covered. The document questions how sovereignty is defined today and whether states have responsibilities beyond maintaining power.
The 4 theories of government
The document outlines the four main theories on the origin of the state: 1) The Force Theory proposes that the state was born out of force when a small group claimed control over an area and forced others to submit. 2) The Evolutionary Theory suggests the state developed from early family structures as lead families evolved into networks of tribes. 3) The Divine Right Theory held that God created the state and chose individuals to rule with divine right. 4) The Social Contract Theory influential to American government postulates that people voluntarily agreed to a social contract like a constitution to ensure safety and well-being for all.
Legalism by edwin and katherine
Legalism was a philosophy founded in China between 475-221 BC that emphasized rule by law and order over compassion. It was adopted by the Qin Dynasty to help unify China by weakening the power of feudal lords and ensuring that no one, powerful or weak, could escape the consequences of breaking laws. The philosophy aimed to govern populations through predictable consequences rather than morality or tradition.
Montesquieu and locke
The document discusses the views of Montesquieu and John Locke on the legitimacy, consent, separation of powers, and individual liberty of government. Montesquieu believed that laws were natural and there were three types: law of nations, political laws, and civil law. Both philosophers agreed that government should be derived from the consent of the people and protect individual rights and freedoms. Montesquieu advocated for the separation of government powers into legislative, executive, and judicial branches to prevent the concentration of power, an idea also supported by Locke. Additionally, they both felt that individual liberty should be ensured and only restricted by laws concerning public order and security.

Theories of Sovereignty
The document discusses various theories of sovereignty. It begins by defining sovereignty and providing different definitions from sources like Bodin, Grotius, and Soltau. It then summarizes the essential elements of sovereignty according to these definitions. The document goes on to discuss theories of sovereignty from different perspectives, including Marxist theory, Salmond's theory, Austin's theory, and theories related to federal constitutions. It analyzes concepts of sovereignty from these different lenses and discusses debates around the concept.
Liberalism, government and democracy
Liberal political theory holds that individuals consent to form societies and governments through social contracts for protection of natural rights like life, liberty, and property. According to social contract theory, governments derive legitimacy from the consent of the governed and must be limited to prevent abuse of power. Liberals support constitutionalism to constrain arbitrary rule through division of powers and protection of civil and political rights, and advocate for liberal democracy that incorporates competitive elections, respect for individual and minority rights, and limits on government through law.
Two more philosophers!
Baron de Montesquieu was a French Enlightenment philosopher who developed the notion of separation of powers and checks and balances, arguing that governmental power should be divided between legislative, executive, and judicial branches. Voltaire was another influential French Enlightenment philosopher who focused on civil liberties like freedom of speech and religion, writing extensively about reason, religious tolerance, separation of church and state, and free thought. Both philosophers had an influence on the development of the American system of government.

Politics and government_handout_ (1)
This document defines different types of political systems and the exercise of power within societies. It discusses that all societies are based on power and defines power as the ability to achieve one's will despite resistance from others. It then defines several types of political systems such as autocracy, democracy, oligarchy, monarchy, and anarchy. It also discusses different sources of political authority, including traditional, rational-legal, and charismatic authority.
Sovereignty
This document discusses the concept of sovereignty, including its definition and types. It was first studied technically by Jean Bodin, who defined sovereignty as the absolute and perpetual power to command. There are several types of sovereignty: titular vs actual, where a titular sovereign has legal power but not actual power; legal vs political, referring to lawmaking authority; and de facto vs de jure, with de facto being power exercised without legal right and de jure being a legal claim without actual power. The document also discusses popular sovereignty, where political power comes from the consent of the people through elected representatives.
John locke and government
John Locke believed that in a state of nature, natural laws existed to protect life, liberty, and property. However, not all humans are reasonable, so a legitimate government is needed to interpret and enforce these natural laws, with the consent of the governed. Locke argued that people form governments to better protect their natural rights to life, liberty, and property from those who would take them by force.

People and society 2013
Before the Enlightenment, most leaders were absolute monarchs with little respect for average people, religious leaders controlled many aspects of life, and only wealthy men had access to education. Enlightenment thinkers like Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Wollstonecraft, and Voltaire developed new ideas about natural rights, the role of government, education, children, women, and freedom of speech. The Enlightenment challenged traditional views and advocated for more individual rights and freedoms.
People and society[1]
During the Enlightenment, views of people and society shifted significantly from the prior era. Some philosophers, like Hobbes, viewed humans as inherently selfish, while others like Locke saw people as generally good. Enlightenment thinkers also advocated for more individual rights and freedoms, such as freedom of speech and religion, as well as separation of church and state. Children and women began to be seen in a new light as deserving of rights and respect rather than as property. Overall, Enlightenment philosophy elevated the status of the individual and promoted more liberal and secular views of government and society.
Enlightenment Thinkers
The document describes a scenario in 1770 where people in a coffee house are questioning the king's right to rule. As the narrator listens to their arguments, they begin to wonder about alternative forms of government besides a monarchy. This leads into discussions about the emerging ideas of the Enlightenment and prominent thinkers like Locke who argued against the divine right of kings and in favor of concepts like natural rights and social contracts.

The enlightenment
The document summarizes key aspects of the Renaissance, Scientific Revolution, and Enlightenment periods in Europe. It explains that the Scientific Revolution led to using reason and experimentation to study the natural world. During the Enlightenment, this rational approach was applied to understanding human behavior and society. Philosophes like Locke, Montesquieu, Voltaire, Rousseau, and Smith developed ideas about natural rights, separation of powers, freedom of expression, social contracts, and laissez-faire economics that influenced the development of democratic governments. However, their radical ideas threatened the existing social and political order and faced censorship.
Enlightenment
The document discusses key thinkers of the Enlightenment and their ideas about government and society. Thomas Hobbes believed people were naturally greedy and governments should maintain peace through an all-powerful ruler. John Locke believed people had natural rights and could revolt if the government violated the social contract. Jean-Jacques Rousseau thought people were equal and society should be organized by majority rule. Voltaire supported religious tolerance and Montesquieu argued for separation of government powers. Enlightened monarchs tried to rule based on Enlightenment ideals like tolerance and improving lives.
Liberalism
Liberalism focuses on freedom, liberty, individualism, limited government, tolerance, justice, and equal rights. It originated during the Enlightenment period from 1699-1800, where thinkers like John Locke and Thomas Jefferson emphasized concepts like individual consent to government and the pursuit of happiness. Jean-Jacques Rousseau also influenced liberalism with his view that people are born free but placed in chains by societies and governments that deny human rights and basic freedoms. Liberalism supports constitutional, limited government that does not interfere with individual interests, as well as pluralism, tolerance of different lifestyles, and equality of opportunity.
Enlightenment thinkers
John Locke, Adam Smith, and Thomas Hobbes were influential Enlightenment thinkers. Locke believed in natural rights and that people consent to governments through a social contract. Smith developed the idea of laissez-faire economics and that governments should not intervene in the economy. Hobbes argued that absolute monarchy was the best form of rule to keep humans in line given their natural selfishness and violence. Voltaire advocated for religious tolerance, justice, free speech, and ending slavery. Montesquieu's book influenced the American founders by proposing separation of a government's executive, legislative, and judicial powers. Diderot spread Enlightenment ideas through his Encyclopedia, which was translated globally.
Lesson 2.pptx
Communism believes that society should be organized collectively, with common ownership of property and resources. It aims to establish a classless system through revolution and abolishing private property. Communism emphasizes class struggle and views capitalism as exploitative. Socialism exists as a transition stage from capitalism to communism, focusing on cooperation and meeting communal needs rather than individual interests. [END SUMMARY]
Why have a revolution power point
During the Enlightenment period in the 1600s-1700s, people began to question traditional sources of authority like religion and hereditary monarchy. Philosophers like Locke, Montesquieu, and Rousseau proposed new democratic ideas about government, believing power should come from the people rather than divine right of kings. Their ideas spread and influenced groups like the American colonists, who revolted against Britain to establish one of the first modern democracies. Revolutions have driven many transformations throughout history by allowing people to challenge unfair systems and fight for greater freedoms.
Enlightenment Thinkers and Ideas
The Enlightenment was a period in the 18th century where philosophers used reason to understand human problems and nature. They believed reason could solve problems and improve lives. Enlightenment ideals fueled the American and French Revolutions by promoting ideas like natural rights, consent of the governed, and limited government. Major Enlightenment philosophers included Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Montesquieu, Voltaire, and later Adam Smith and Mary Wollstonecraft. Some monarchs also adopted Enlightenment ideals by becoming more tolerant and just rulers.

The Enlightenment period of the 17th and 18th centuries was characterized by a set of attitudes that questioned traditional institutions through rational criticism. Philosophers like Voltaire, Locke, and Rousseau promoted ideas of natural rights, consent of the governed, and religious tolerance through their writings. Their works influenced political reforms and inspired revolutions by promoting nationalism and the rights of individuals over absolute rule.

Fascism
Fascism is a political movement characterized by extreme loyalty to the state and obedience to a single leader who has total control over the government. Fascist systems are totalitarian, have no elections, censor information, and use propaganda and threats of violence to maintain the leader's power and ensure the people remain loyal to the nationalist cause. Wealthy individuals who want to protect their influence often make up fascist political parties.
New democracies and depression
After World War 1, many new democracies emerged in Europe as people feared absolute rulers. However, most European nations had no history of democracy and the new coalition governments formed to rule were often weak and ineffective. This political instability, combined with economic problems like depression and hyperinflation in countries like Germany, created a period of great uncertainty in Europe from 1919 to 1939.
Depression and inflation in germany
Germany faced hyperinflation after World War I due to printing money to fund the war and pay reparations, which led to economic hardship, uncertainty in the new democratic government, and questions about peace. The Dawes Plan in 1924 provided a US loan to stabilize Germany's currency and helped its economy recover by 1929, improving conditions for maintaining peace agreements like the Locarno Treaty and Kellogg-Briand Pact that Germany signed.
The rise of hitler 2012
Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany after World War 1. He was unhappy with the Treaty of Versailles and joined the Nazi party in 1920. As the leader, he believed Germans were a superior race and that they needed more land for empire. In 1923, Hitler tried to overthrow the German government but failed and was imprisoned. While in prison, he wrote Mein Kampf outlining his racist beliefs. After release, he grew the Nazi party's popularity until being appointed Chancellor in 1933. He then consolidated power and established a fascist dictatorship, oppressing minorities and censoring opposition.
Russian revolutions cp 2012
Alexei, the only son of Nicholas II and heir to the Russian throne, had hemophilia. A man named Rasputin claimed he could cure Alexei through his mystical powers, gaining influence over the royal family. Rasputin's opposition to reforms and support of autocracy made him unpopular. In 1917, food shortages and unrest led to the overthrow of Nicholas II and the establishment of a provisional government, but the Soviets gained power and Lenin returned to Russia. In November 1917 the Bolsheviks seized power in the Bolshevik Revolution, establishing the Soviet Union with Lenin as its leader.
India before imperialism
This document provides an overview of India before imperialism, including its geography and early civilizations. It discusses the Indus Valley Civilization along the Indus River from 2500 BCE, noting its major cities of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro. It also summarizes the rise of religions like Hinduism, the origins of the caste system, Muslim invasions between the 11th-16th centuries, the founding of Sikhism in 1500 BCE, and the establishment and decline of the Mughal Empire from 1526-1858 under various rulers like Akbar, Shah Jahan, and Aurangzeb.
British imperialism in india role play
The British took control of India in the 18th century after defeating the French. They established the British East India Company to rule through economic imperialism. This had negative economic impacts on India by restricting its industries and forcing it to grow cash crops. In the 1850s, rumors of contaminated rifle cartridges led sepoys to rebel against British rule, sparking the Sepoy Mutiny. The rebellion spread widely but ultimately failed due to disagreements between Hindu and Muslim groups. In the late 19th century, Indian nationalist movements emerged calling for independence and equal rights under the British Raj. Tensions continued to rise, with figures like Gandhi advocating nonviolent resistance, until India was finally granted independence in 1947 after over a
Africa before imperialism cp 2012
The document discusses Africa before and during the period of European imperialism. It describes how early interactions involved trading between Africans and Europeans, with Africans controlling the trade. It then explains how the slave trade developed and how Europeans gained power through technological advances like quinine, steam engines, and maxim guns. Finally, it summarizes how European countries colonized Africa following the Berlin Conference where they arbitrarily divided the continent without African representation.
Nigeria and south africa
The document defines and provides examples of different types of colonial rule:
- Direct control refers to when a stronger country takes over the government of a weaker country completely.
- Indirect control is when a weaker country's leader remains in power but is controlled by the stronger country, like a puppet.
- A sphere of influence gives an outside power exclusive trading privileges in another country.
- Informal empire refers to independent but less developed nations controlled by private businesses rather than governments.
Japan modernizes cp 2012
Japan was isolated for most of its history, but in 1853 four US navy ships arrived demanding Japan open trade. Intimidated, Japan signed a treaty in 1854 granting trading privileges to the US. The Japanese people were unhappy with foreign influence in their country. Emperor Mutsuhito took control and began modernizing Japan based on Western models, sending representatives to study governments in Germany, navies in Britain, and education in the US. Within 30 years, Japan built up significant infrastructure like railroads, industry, and a strong military, transitioning from a feudal to modern state.
China’s fall to foreign influence cp 2012
China had a long history of self-sufficiency and technological advancement before the 18th century when they first encountered Western influence. They produced enough crops and goods like porcelain to support their population without needing trade. In the 18th century, a British ambassador showed Chinese inventions like clocks and balloons to the emperor, but China was unimpressed as they already had more advanced versions. In the 19th century, the British began smuggling highly addictive opium into China against the Chinese government's wishes. When China tried to stop the opium trade, it led to the Opium War in 1839 where Britain easily defeated China's outdated navy. In 1842, China was forced to sign the unequal Treaty of Nanjing
Introduction to imperialism
This document provides an introduction to imperialism, including its definition and different types. Imperialism is when a powerful nation dominates other countries politically, economically, or socially. There are four main types of imperialism discussed: colonies, protectorates, spheres of influence, and economic imperialism. The document then examines potential motives for why nations practice imperialism, such as exploratory, political, ideological, religious, and economic goals. Nations may seek to map new territories, control other governments, civilize foreign populations, convert people to their religion, or gain access to raw materials and trade.
Industrial revolution philosophers
The document discusses several economic ideas that emerged during the Industrial Revolution, including laissez-faire economics advocated by Adam Smith. Thomas Malthus and David Ricardo built on Smith's ideas and believed that population growth would lead to a permanent underclass of poor workers with declining wages. Utilitarians like Jeremy Bentham believed the goal should be maximum benefit for most people. Socialists advocated public ownership of resources and factories to reduce inequality. Karl Marx proposed communism, with public ownership and no private property. Workers joined unions to advocate for better conditions.
Effects of industrialization cp 2012
Industrialization led to rapid urbanization as people moved to cities for new factory jobs. This overwhelmed existing city infrastructure and resources, resulting in unsanitary living conditions and the spread of sickness. Factory work also had long hours, dangerous conditions and low pay for unskilled laborers. Industrialization created a new social hierarchy, with a growing middle class and a greater divide between rich and poor.
Industrial revolution philosophers cp 2012
The document discusses several economic and political philosophies that emerged during the Industrial Revolution, including:
- Laissez-faire capitalism as proposed by Adam Smith, allowing businesses to operate freely without government regulation.
- Utilitarianism as introduced by Jeremy Bentham, which said societies and policies should be judged based on their overall usefulness and benefit to the population.
- Socialism in which the public owns the means of production to benefit all people and prevent poverty.
- Communism as envisioned by Karl Marx in which all land, businesses, and property are publicly owned and shared equally.
- Workers organizing unions and trade associations to collectively bargain for better working conditions and reforms through strikes
Napoleon’s conquests cp 2013
Napoleon crowned himself Emperor of France in 1804 after gaining support through a plebiscite. He then began conquering other European countries to build a French empire. However, his invasion of Russia in 1812 using a scorched earth policy by the Russians resulted in the loss of 300,000 men, weakening his army. This led to the formation of the Third Coalition against Napoleon. After trying and failing to defeat the Coalition at the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon was finally defeated and exiled to St. Helena, bringing his reign to an end.
French rev role play cp
The document describes the political turmoil in France during the French Revolution from 1789-1799. Key events include peasants rebelling in 1789, the creation of the National Assembly and Declaration of Rights of Man, Maximilien Robespierre gaining power in 1792 and instituting the Reign of Terror by executing opponents, Robespierre then being overthrown and executed in 1794, and the unstable Directory government being replaced by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1799 who establishes himself as ruler.
French revolution begins cp 2013
Under the Old Regime system in France, there were three estates - clergy, nobility, and commoners. The king had absolute power and the estates system meant commoners (Third Estate) faced heavy taxes and had no political rights. As Enlightenment ideas spread and economic troubles grew, resentment toward the monarchy and inequality increased. The meeting of the Estates-General in 1789 failed to address these issues, fueling the revolution as the Third Estate formed the National Assembly and commoners stormed the Bastille prison in Paris, marking the start of the French Revolution.
French revolution begins honors 2013
The document provides historical context about life in France under the Old Regime prior to the French Revolution. It describes how the system was structured around an absolute monarch and three estates, with the Third Estate (commoners) facing heavy taxation while having no political rights or say in government. Dissatisfaction grew as Enlightenment ideas spread and as the American Revolution inspired calls for more freedoms and representative government. Economic troubles further fueled unrest leading up to the start of the French Revolution.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

Government and ideas[1]
- 1. GOVERNMENT AND ECONOMICS NEW IDEAS AND CHANGES BROUGHT ABOUT BY ENLIGHTENMENT THINKERS
- 2. GOVERNMENT DURING THE ENLIGHTENMENT • Before the Enlightenment most leaders were absolute monarchs meaning they ruled the country on their own with no say from anyone else. • Leaders believed they could rule by divine rights meaning that God made them the leader and therefore no one could question their power. • Many leaders also had strong connections to the church or controlled the religion in their countries. • The average person had little say in the government and no control over their own lives.
- 3. THOMAS HOBBES • Hobbes had a negative view of humanity and life. • He believed that people were generally mean spirited and needed one strong leader to rule over them and keep them in control. • Hobbes felt government was the only thing that kept life civilized. The government needed to control the people as much as possible.
- 4. JOHN LOCKE • Locke felt that people deserved to be listened to and have their voice heard. • Locke said the role of the leader was to protect people's natural rights • If the leader did not protect the people's natural rights than Locke believed the people had the right to overthrow the leader (this is a type of social contract).
- 5. JEAN-JACQUES ROUSSEAU • Rousseau believed that a social contract existed between the people and the leader. • The social contract meant that the people agreed to let the ruler be in charge on certain terms. If the leader broke those terms than the leader no longer had the right to rule and could be overthrown by the people.
- 6. BARON MONTESQUIEU • Montesquieu believed it wasn't a good idea to have one person in charge of all parts of government. • Montesquieu believed in separation of powers meaning that different parts/branches of government should be run by different people this way no branch could get too powerful and they could all keep each other in check.
- 7. ADAM SMITH • Adam Smith had new ideas about the economy that became the foundation for capitalism. • Smith believed in laissez-faire which meant he believed the government should leave the economy alone and let business regulate itself. • Smith believed if the economy was left alone any problems would work themselves out and the nation would prosper.
- 8. KEY POINTS • There were many new ideas about government, and not all Enlightenment thinkers agreed on these ideas. • Many thinkers did believe people should have more say in the government and leaders should have less power. • Ideas such as natural rights, separation of church and state, and separation of powers are still a part of our government today and were ideas that America was founded on. • Adam Smith's ideas about laissez - faire economies became the foundation for many modern thoughts about economics and how businesses should be run.
