VA Foundation for the Humanities | Gold Rush MASTER
NATHAN: Major funding for BackStory is provided by an anonymous donor, the National Endowment for
the Humanities, the University of Virginia, the Joseph and Robert Cornell Memorial
Foundation, and the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations.
JOANNE: From the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities, this is BackStory.
ED: Welcome to BackStory, the show that explains the history behind today's headlines. I'm Ed
Ayers.
JOANNE: I'm Joanne Freeman.
NATHAN: And I'm Nathan Connolly.
JOANNE: If you're new to the podcast, we're all historians and each week we explore the history of one
topic that's been in the news.
NATHAN: And we're going to start off today in Coloma, California a little town up in the foothills of the
Sierra Nevada. 170 years ago this month, a man named James Marshall was working outside
a sawmill. He saw something about the size of a pat of butter glinting under the water flowing
from the mill. He called to a man named James Brown, who was working on the mill.
MALE SPEAKER: Mr. Marshall called me to him. I went and found him examining the bedrock. He said, "this is a
curious rock, I'm afraid that it will give us some trouble." Said I to him, "What makes you think
so?" He said he had seen the blossom of gold.
JAMES
DELGADO:
That sun-struck speck of gold would spark the biggest mass migration of humanity by sea
since the Crusades.
ED: That's maritime archaeologist James Delgado, and that mass migration he's talking about,
that's, of course, the California Gold Rush. Over the course of the gold rush, more than
300,000 people arrived from all over the world. They were trying to strike it rich, either in the
goldfields or in the new boom-towns springing up across California. And no place saw miners
or change arrive faster than San Francisco. By 1860, it would be a city of 60,000 people. But
when gold was first discovered, it wasn't quite so bustling.
JAMES San Francisco in January of 1848 was a small village perched on the end of a muddy cove,
DELGADO: and a population of about 400 people. It was a sleepy little outpost at the edge of the world.
Between January 1, 1849 and the end of the year, 764 ships just left American ports alone,
and there were probably some 500 more that sailed from everywhere else around the world,
including Hong Kong, Valparaiso, Chile, France, Great Britain, Denmark, Australia, you name
it. Everybody came by sea. And so, as the ships started to come in, at first in the dozens and
then up to 90, to 100 ships in any given week, it just simply overwhelmed San Francisco. One
observer literally felt it was a forest of ships masts.
JOANNE: That forest of mass grew thicker each week. Because, while dozens of new ships were coming
into the harbor, almost none were leaving. Most sailors jumped ship as soon as they arrived,
eager to find gold themselves and captains couldn't find anyone willing to take their places. So
the ships stacked u ...

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.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
