Transparency in Financial Disclosure Bill Lutz
This document discusses the transition from paper-based to electronic disclosure of financial information. It argues that current disclosure practices are outdated and do not meet investors' needs in the digital age. The key points made are:
1) Disclosure is currently a top-down, paper-driven process but investors now operate in a bottom-up, digital world.
2) Financial data and capital have been digitized and can now flow globally, so disclosure systems must also go digital to keep pace.
3) The shift from paper to digital is profoundly changing how information is accessed, just as the invention of the printing press was centuries ago. Disclosure must be rethought for this new environment.

Transcript of Zurkowski video at LILAC 2014
The document discusses the history and importance of information literacy. It describes how Paul Zurkowski first proposed universal information literacy training in 1974 to help people learn to search new databases and mainframe computers. It then discusses how a lack of information literacy skills can undermine democracy by allowing misinformation to spread and powerful groups to control information. Finally, it argues that information literacy can create a "New Era of Enlightenment" by empowering citizens to navigate information and make informed decisions about their lives and countries. Zurkowski proposes the Information Action Coalition to extend information literacy training globally.
LECTURE 4 - Cyberculture
The document discusses several topics related to internet governance and culture, including issues with ICANN and U.S. control over domain name systems, debates around defining what constitutes the internet, and examples of online civil disobedience such as the "etoy vs eToys" case. It also addresses questions around how Habermas' theory of communicative action could work across language groups and debates around the impacts of globalization on culture.

The document discusses how new technologies and social media are changing how the public engages with government and politics. It argues that representatives need to adapt to these changes by using tools like social media, open data, and online engagement to better involve constituents and collaborate with local communities. Failing to adapt risks losing relevance as the expectations of an always-connected public diverge from traditional political structures. The document urges representatives to consider how their role may need to evolve over the next 5-20 years to maintain meaningful relationships with citizens in this changing digital landscape.
10 ICT as a Platform for Change
The document contains information about digital citizenship including its definition and key elements. It discusses digital citizenship as referring to how people utilize technology to engage in society, politics, and government. The key elements of digital citizenship discussed are digital access, commerce, communication, literacy, etiquette, law, rights and responsibilities, and security. Examples are provided for many of these elements. The document also contains information about advocacy, the role of ICT in social movements in the Philippines, and values of digital citizenship.

Jai Jawan Jai Kisan Jai Vigyan Essay In Marathi
The document discusses how Jesus Christ's death and resurrection revealed the Trinity to humanity. It explains that without these events, people would only understand God as a single being rather than understanding the triune nature of God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It notes that Jesus' death and resurrection revealed both the "immanent Trinity" (God's inner nature) and the "economic Trinity" (God's outward working in the world). The economic Trinity can be seen through creation, but Jesus' death and resurrection were necessary to fully reveal God's triune identity.
5-Paragraph-Essay - Mr. DwyerMr. Dwyer
This document discusses stereotypes faced by African Americans and the author's experience with stereotyping due to being from the Southern US. It notes that stereotypes are a major problem and that the author faced many questions implying stereotypes about Southern life while attending college in Minnesota, where they were one of few Southern students. It states that the problem of stereotyping is worse for minorities, and that the legacy of slavery and mistreatment has led to many stereotypes associated with African Americans despite everyone being an individual.
Piracy, Policy, Participation
The Digital Economy Act aimed to crack down on online piracy but was controversial. It granted new enforcement powers to rights holders but faced legal challenges from ISPs. Critics argued the law was rushed through without proper scrutiny. Studies showed that filesharing was not decreasing as the government intended and alternative business models were possible.

The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
