An old business plan for establishing value-added-service-operator (VASO) in China.
iBIT was incubated by Morning Forest back in 2002 and had a wholly owned subsidiary in China for this experiment.
Dutch Rojas, Chief Executive Officer, and Founder, of Sano Surgery, presented strategies to reduce, stabilize, and hedge the costs of surgeries, procedures, imaging, and lab services. By deploying the Sano Surgery strategy employers are free to deploy cash towards assets that provide returns on capital.

Restrictions on Internet Commerce - Trade Rules and their LimitsSimon Lacey
This is a presentation I gave at Georgetown University Law Center in May 2012. It discusses restrictions on the internet and how they constrain the commercial activities of some very big companies worldwide. It then discusses international trade rules and how these may be used to challenge the abuse of such restrictions now and/or constrain the impact of such restrictions in the future.

In this remarkable moment in history, the U.S. regulatory environment, its capital markets and the innovation that drives those markets are simultaneously on the threshold of dramatic change. We are currently witnessing the embryonic period of a cutting-edge stock market just as we usher in a new era of mass media. At the same time, new legislation aimed at facilitating capital formation is being introduced to support this modern infrastructure. There has never been a more opportunistic time to capitalize on change.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

LF Energy Webinar: Electrical Grid Modelling and Simulation Through PowSyBl -...DanBrown980551
Do you want to learn how to model and simulate an electrical network from scratch in under an hour?
Then welcome to this PowSyBl workshop, hosted by Rte, the French Transmission System Operator (TSO)!
During the webinar, you will discover the PowSyBl ecosystem as well as handle and study an electrical network through an interactive Python notebook.
PowSyBl is an open source project hosted by LF Energy, which offers a comprehensive set of features for electrical grid modelling and simulation. Among other advanced features, PowSyBl provides:
- A fully editable and extendable library for grid component modelling;
- Visualization tools to display your network;
- Grid simulation tools, such as power flows, security analyses (with or without remedial actions) and sensitivity analyses;
The framework is mostly written in Java, with a Python binding so that Python developers can access PowSyBl functionalities as well.
What you will learn during the webinar:
- For beginners: discover PowSyBl's functionalities through a quick general presentation and the notebook, without needing any expert coding skills;

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
4. A Call for Regulation
• Commends NAI but . . .
• [Recommends] legislation that would set forth a basic level of privacy
protection for all visitors to consumer-oriented commercial Web sites with
respect to profiling.
– Basic standards of practice governing the collection and use of information
online for profiling, and provide an implementing agency with the authority to
promulgate more detailed standards
– [Including] authority to grant safe harbors to self-regulatory principles which
self-
effectively implement the standards of fair information practices articulated in
the legislation and subsequent rulemaking.

data about consumers’ activities online is being collected at the site for use in
providing advertising about products and services tailored to individual
consumers’ interests, and
consumers can choose whether or not to have their information collected for
such purpose.

• We're at another watershed moment in privacy,
and the time is right for the commission ... to take
a broader look at privacy . . . Our minds are
open.
• We all agree that consumers don't read privacy
policies, or EULAs for that matter. I've been a
supporter of opt-in for quite some time.

21. FTC Commissioner
Commissioner Jones-Harbour
I believe action has not been a high
enough priority to date. [The] United
States needs comprehensive privacy
legislation. If we continue the piecemeal
approach to privacy in this country, we
merely push aside the underlying issues.
Industry attempts to provide notice and
choice to consumers have been
insufficient thus far.
We have strayed far from the Fair
Information Practices that should serve as
a baseline for any comprehensive privacy
legislation.

Commissioner Jones-Harbour
Jones-
Google’s Buzz and Facebook Privacy Policy change “irresponsible”.
Concerned that “technology companies are learning harmful lessons from
each other’s attempts to push the privacy envelope. continue to launch
products where their guiding privacy principle appears to be, ‘Throw it
against the wall, see if it sticks – and if not, we can always pull it back.’
Deeds speak louder than words, and this is turning into a dangerous game
of ‘copycat’ behavior. And unlike a lot of tech products, consumer privacy
cannot be run in beta.”
Calls for FTC to adopt position of intolerance towards such behavior.
SSL security should be default standard in cloud computing.
