1 he bourgeoisie has subjected the country to the rule of the towns. It
has created enormous cities, greatly increased the urban population as
compared with the rural, and thus rescued a considerable part of the pop-
tilation from the idiocy of rural life... .
The bourgeoisie, during its rule of scarcely one hundred years, has
created more massive and more colossal productive forces than have X11
preceding generations together... .
Brit not only has the bourgeoisie forged the weapons that bring death
to itself; it 1-ias also called into existence the mein who are to wield those
weapons —the modern working class. —the proletariat.
In proportion as the bourgeoisie, i.e., capital, develops, in the same
proportion the proletariat, the modern vc%orking class, develops — a class of
laborers, who live only so long as they find work, and who find work only
so long as their labor increases capital. These laborers, who must sell
themselves piecemeal, are a commodity, like every other article of com-
merce, and are consequently exposed to all the vicissitudes ofcomPetition,
to all the fluctuations of the market... .
Of all the classes that stand face to face with the bourgeoisie today, the
proletariat alone is a really revolutionary class. The other classes decay
and finally disappear in the face of modern industry; the proletariat is its
special and essential product... .
The socialist and communist systems I~roperly so called,. those of
Saint Simon, Fourier, Ou~en;5 and others, spring into existence in the early
undeveloped Period, described above, of the struggle between proletariat
and bourgeoisie....
Such fantastic pictures of future society, painted at a rime when the .
proletariat is still in a very undeveloped state and has but a fantastic con-
ception of its own position, correspond with the first instinctive yearnings
of that class for a general reconstruction of society.
But these socialist and communist publications contain also a critical
element. They attack every principle of existing society... .

(1760-1825), «gas an early advocate of socialism, as w1s Charles Fourier (1772-1837).
Robert Owen (1771-1858) was an industrialist, utopian socialist, and trade union
advocate. These socialist predecessors believed that capitalists and workers could
overcome their antagonism and work cooperatively for the common good. As Nlarx
and Engels believed "class struggle" to be the engine that drove history, they imply
that these other soci~llists were naive to the point of delusiorlary, hence the "fant~lstic
pictures" jibe that follows.
The Communists fight for the attainment of the
immediate aims, for
the enforcement of the momentary [i.e., current]
interests of the working
class; but in the movement of the Present, they also
represent and take care
of the future of that movement... .

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
3. Friedrich Engels
Son of a wealthy
German factory
owner
Philosopher and
Co-author of
Marx’s works
Patron of Marx
4. Marxism is...
Caring about material prosperity of common person
A consciousness of your own prosperity is important
Believing that social class is directly related to your
role in the production of products and wealth
Believing that history is the continuing class struggle
between the haves (Bourgeoisie) and have-nots
(Proletariat)
Believing that that which is good for the workers is
good for all society
5. Marxism says...
History will have gone through six stages of
Hegelian dialectics to reach perfection
1. Primitive Communism - Tribal sharing
2. City-state slavery - birth of aristocracy
3. Feudalism - aristocrats rule the others
4. Capitalism - investors rule the others
5. Socialism - workers overthrow owners
6. Communism - no classes or inequality
6. Manifesto
Published in 1848
“A Spectre is haunting
Europe, the spectre of
communism!”
“In bourgeois society, therefore,
the past dominates the present;
in Communist society, the
present dominates the past. In
bourgeois society capital is
independent and has
individuality, while the living
person is dependent and has no
individuality.”
7. Calls for
Abolition of inheritance
Progressively high income taxes
Abolition of land as private property
A governmental monopoly on banking
Free public schooling for all children
Government ownership of all
transportation
8. Exiled to England
Revolutions of 1848 allowed the
governments to round up rebels and
exile them
Marx moved to London and Engles
paid all his bills so he could research
all day at the Library of the British
Museum
9. Das Kapital
A criticism of the
contradictions of
capitalism
“Workers of the
world unite; you
have nothing to
lose but your
chains.”
10. Marx on religion
Religion is the sign of the oppressed
creature, the heart of a heartless
world, just as it is the spirit of a
spiritless situation. It is the opium of
the people. The abolition of religion as
the illusory happiness of the people is
required for their real happiness.
11. Revisionism
Edward
Bernstein
and Jean
Juares
Marxism
without the
violent class
struggle
