The man behind last month's scraping of LinkedIn data, which exposed the location, phone numbers, and inferred salaries of 700 million users, says that he did it "for fun" -- though he is also selling the data. 9to5Mac reports: BBC News spoke with the man who took the data, under the name Tom Liner: "How would you feel if all your information was catalogued by a hacker and put into a monster spreadsheet with millions of entries, to be sold online to the highest paying cyber-criminal? That's what a hacker calling himself Tom Liner did last month 'for fun' when he compiled a database of 700 million LinkedIn users from all over the world, which he is selling for around $5,000 [...]. In the case of Mr Liner, his latest exploit was announced at 08:57 BST in a post on a notorious hacking forum [...] 'Hi, I have 700 million 2021 LinkedIn records,' he wrote. Included in the post was a link to a sample of a million records and an invite for other hackers to contact him privately and make him offers for his database."   Liner says he was also behind the scraping of 533 million Facebook profiles back in April (you can check whether your data was grabbed): "Tom told me he created the 700 million LinkedIn database using 'almost the exact same technique' that he used to create the Facebook list. He said: 'It took me several months to do. It was very complex. I had to hack the API of LinkedIn. If you do too many requests for user data in one time then the system will permanently ban you.'"   Meet the Brutal Serial Killers of The Sims (wired.co.uk) 57 Posted by msmash on Monday July 19, 2021 @04:43PM from the closer-look dept. It's a game that encourages people to 'get a life' -- build a house, make a Sim and fulfil their dreams. So why are so many players intent on murder? From a report: The Sims has far evolved from its humble beginnings in 2000, where you created characters and tended to their needs, like a slightly more demanding Tamagotchi. As the games became more advanced, The Sims provided opportunities for the lives of your characters to more closely mirror reality: they now have lifetime goals and desires, can feel disappointment and joy, and now even do their own laundry. But whether they live a rich and fulfilling life, or an existence defined by endless suffering, the Sims' destiny is entirely in your hands. Of course many players choose not to be benevolent Gods in the Sims world -- and instead aim to kill and torture as many Sims as possible. Death has hugely evolved over 21 years of gameplay; we're no longer just sticking Sims in a swimming pool and selling a ladder to watch them drown. Instead, we're watching them explode in rocket ships, choke on pufferfish or even be eaten by the 'Cowplant' -- a mutant Venus flytrap with a cow head for a face.   "The Sims see you controlling a little society, but that doesn't mean you're making it better. It reminds me of Bruce Almighty, where the role of God is handed over but that doesn't necessarily mean that's strictly a good thing. It's rather therapeutic just killing Sims, and being quite an irresponsible God," 26-year-old Dubliner RTGame (real name Daniel), who has 2.6 million subscribers on YouTube says. "I feel like a kid with a magnifying glass on the small ants. It sounds quite twisted but it's quite fun to do things like that in games like The Sims to see what happens. But yes, I do have a lot of Sims blood on my hands." He's far from alone. While many in the Sims streaming community focus their content on cutesy legacy-style playthroughs or intricate design challenges, there's an increasing interest in more boundary-pushing content. RTGame credits the popularity of his bizarre Sims series for helping him jump into streaming as a full-time career, while other YouTubers such as CallMeKevin and Plumbella count speed runs where they kill entire neighbourhoods among some of their most viewed content.

Nella puntata intitolata "Il Travet nel Cyberspazio" avevamo spiegato come dovrebbe essere la PA nel XXI secolo. Molti commenti su YouTube e sui social hanno messo in dubbio la possibilita' che l'Utopia si realizzasse. Invece non si tratta di Utopia. Il mondo funziona già come abbiamo descritto. Solo che è il mondo delle aziende private tecnologiche che hanno messo a punto un servizio all'avanguardia, dall'identificazione on line al secure cloud storage. I colossi dell'Hi-tech gestiscono flussi di richieste talora superiori a quelli di una amministrazione pubblica, nell'ordine di 500 richieste al secondo in completa sicurezza (al contrario dei famigerati click day dove in 15 secondi il sito dell'INPS o del Ministero va in tilt). Tutto è memorizzato e si adottano modelli di machine learning per consigliare prodotti sulla base dei servizi richiesti o degli interessi manifestati in precedenza.Le informazioni sono salvate in almeno 2-3 datacenter diversi, così in caso di incidenti o incendi, ci sono almeno altre due copie. È un sistema resiliente nel senso che non ha singole fonti di vulnerabilità.Esistono sistemi modulari da implementare a piacimento: database, storage solution, security, content delivery network, processori scalabili all'infinito (cosi il sito non collassa se hai sovraccarico di accessi) e poi facial recognition, speech-to-text per analizzare il livello di customer satisfaction, intelligenza artificiale per suggerire al cittadino soluzioni più semplici o veloci.Replicare questo nirvana online per l'apparato statale non costerebbe cifre colossali. Il vero nodo è la base di potere che le assunzioni nel settore pubblico garantiscono. La digitalizzazione farebbe crollare il patto sociale da cui origina il voto clientelare.

We can get locked on the need to be needed, to feel important and indispensable… and without even realizing it.   How about challenging that mindset? Moving to the notion that you seek to make yourself replaceable. That there can be an even better way of doing things, one that saves you time, energy, and ultimately grows your business even with your absence.  Ari Meisel helps entrepreneurs become replaceable so their business can grow without them.  In this episode, Ari challenges our conventional way of thinking. That there is always a different way of doing things that work and that you just have to be willing to do and try it.  What you will learn from this episode:  Learn how to create a documented system and process within the organization that allows for transparency to avoid disruptions Find out the whole methodology of less doing which is about optimization, automation, and outsourcing Find out the tactics you are already using in your personal lives that works just as well in your business to keep on winning every time  "The whole methodology of less doing is based on OAO. It's optimize, automate, outsource, in that order."   - Ari Meisel  Topics Covered: 01:07 - What makes his bio unique, brief, and concise?  01:44 - Get out of your way!  02:47 - Teaching the mindset of a leader that is replaceable  04:47 - Many companies are not doing communication effectively  05:37 - What is an asynchronous communication   07:19 - The sub-areas of communication that one needs to be dealing within the organization  10:05 - How the methodology of less doing works  11:48 - What it means to go automated and what are the basics of automation  12:54 - The value in outsourcing and delegation  14:29 - How to do things better? Get your FREE resource at less.do/facebook  15:05 - Are there any situations where you're not replaceable?  16:41 - One thing he does with his business that proves his idea of a replaceable founder that works  Key Takeaways: "The truth is that being irreplaceable makes you stuck. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted, and the entrepreneurs that I work with, have the freedom to leave the business if they so choose, go out, explore, learn, and then contribute those back into the business and the business doesn't crumble in their absence."   "A lot of it is a mindset. I don't mean mindset in terms of like, you are important, and you are special. No, it's really just about like the way that we approach the ownership that we have over the work that we do. And ultimately, how much we can empower the people that we work with."  "Unfortunately, you have so many people who work in, whether or not they work in an industry that has a history, but it's worse when people are in an industry that has a culture -- generational way of doing things. And then they can't see that there might be another way. It's just we do it because that's how we've always done it."  "The majority of communication nowadays should be done asynchronously. So, I say something when I want, whether it's voice, pictures, text, doesn't matter. And you receive it when you want and responding, 'Hi.' Now that could be using WhatsApp or Slack or even email, but truly treating it as an asynchronous means of communication."  "And to do that [documenting systems and processes] is not to devalue the person who was holding on to them, it is to release them to be replaced up, not out of business."  Resources: How to do things better?

We conclude our adventure into the different tellings of the story 'The Witches' with the 2020 film, directed by Robert Zemeckis and adapted by Zemeckis, Kenya Barris, and Guillermo del Toro. It stars Anne Hathaway (who is just giving it EVERYTHING), Octavia Spencer (who we spotlight as our 'Witch of the Week'), and Jahzir Bruno (who's going to take over the world of film sometime soon). Also, you get your fill of an awesome CGI cat, Chris Rock (who's recruiting an army of child assassins), and Stanley 'The Tooch' Tucci! I'm very sorry for the delay in releasing this episode. Due to health issues, I (Linda) have been struggling to gather enough 'spoons' to get things done. Also, it doesn't help that I forgot to send Donnie (our editor) my audio file. You guys are amazing and we really appreciate your patience. Jane says, 'Hi.' --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 24, 2020 is: sophomoric • sahf-MOR-ik • adjective 1 : conceited and overconfident of knowledge but poorly informed and immature 2 : lacking in maturity, taste, or judgment Examples: Judd's behavior at the party was sophomoric, but I've seen a more mature side to him in other settings. "Good cause notwithstanding, eager Brad-and-Jen fans were laser-focused on Pitt's reaction to one of Aniston's lines. 'Hi, Brad,' Aniston said to her former spouse while in character. 'You know how cute I always thought you were.' … Not to be too sophomoric, but let's admit it ... he totally blushed." — Emma Specter, Vogue, 18 Sept. 2020 Did you know? Sophomores get a bad rap. A lot of people seem to think they're foolish (no matter what they do), when they themselves know they're pretty wise. The history of the words sophomore and sophomoric (which developed from sophomore) proves that it has always been tough to be a sophomore. Those words probably come from a combination of the Greek terms sophos (which means "wise") and mōros (which means "foolish"). But sophomores can take comfort in the fact that some very impressive words, including philosopher and sophisticated, are also related to sophos.

In 1989, Dr. Yusef Salaam was just fifteen years old when he was tried and convicted in the “Central Park Jogger Case” along with four other Black and Latino boys. The Exonerated Five spent between seven to 13 years behind bars, until their sentences were overturned in 2002. Since then, they received a multi-million-dollar settlement from the City of New York for its injustice and were profiled in award-winning films, including The Central Park Five documentary from Ken Burns, Sarah Burns, and David McMahon and the award-winning Netflix limited series When They See Us, written and directed by Ava DuVernay. In our podcast episode, Lelina interviews Yusef and Ibi about their newest co-authored novel in verse Punching the Air and how the book came to fruition. Yusef talks about the power of self-purpose and hope and how his spiritual journey was mirrored through the main character Amal while Ibi shares how she embraced and holistically weaved Yusef‘s stories and philosophies to craft a story told from a young Muslim, Black boy’s point of view. Further in, they break down and analyze two influential poems in the novel that speak to Yusef’s experience being boxed in with his thoughts and his own devices in his jail cell, and the power DNA has to tie individuals to the collective injustices of the past. Ibi shares how crafting her poems in different shapes and forms helps bring to life the meaning of the poems on the page. And later, they discuss what it means to bring about diversity with diversity and the crucial work that still needs to be done to create a holistic representation of communities of color in the literary world.

Dr. Alex Vaccaro is an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in spine surgery including traumatic spinal injuries. He is the Chair of Orthopedic Surgery at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia and the President of Rothman Orthopedics, one of the leading orthopedic institutions in the United States.We talk about the importance of hope. "So when his mom says to me, will my son walk again, I say, you know something, I don't know the answer to that, but I hope so because time will tell . . . I have patients come in who are paralyzed, but we've intervened early and I've seen miracles, I call it miracles because I've sent patients paralyzed that have walked out of rehab."You know, you operate on someone, they become a family member. If you have a complication with a patient, they move into your house. I mean you, you have to make sure they're doing great."Dr. Vaccaro describes the measures Rothman is undertaking as the COVID-19 lockdowns are scaled back, and elective orthopedic and spine surgeries resume. "If you walk through the door, it's like a gauntlet. 'Hi, let me take your forehead temperature. Hi, let me take your pulse oximetry.' We test all the patients we operate on 48 hours before. So every patient gets tested. Potentially people are less likely to come out with a nosocomial illness now than six months ago with this much generalized precautions in place."Automated Transcript

Sponsored by Datadog: pythonbytes.fm/datadog Michael #1: Data driven journalism via cjworkbench via Michael Paholski The data journalism platform with built in training Think spreadsheet + ETL automation Designed around modular tools for data processing -- table in, table out -- with no code required Features include: Modules to scrape, clean, analyze and visualize data An integrated data journalism training program Connect to Google Drive, Twitter, and API endpoints. Every action is recorded, so all workflows are repeatable and transparent All data is live and versioned, and you can monitor for changes. Write custom modules in Python and add them to the module library Brian #2: remi: A Platform-independent Python GUI library for your applications. Python REMote Interface library. “Remi is a GUI library for Python applications which transpiles an application's interface into HTML to be rendered in a web browser. This removes platform-specific dependencies and lets you easily develop cross-platform applications in Python!” No dependencies. pip install git+https://github.com/dddomodossola/remi.git doesn’t install anything else. Yes. Another GUI in a web page, but for quick and dirty internal tools, this will be very usable. Basic app: import remi.gui as gui from remi import start, App class MyApp(App): def __init__(self, *args): super(MyApp, self).__init__(*args) def main(self): container = gui.VBox(width=120, height=100) self.lbl = gui.Label('Hello world!') self.bt = gui.Button('Press me!') self.bt.onclick.do(self.on_button_pressed) container.append(self.lbl) container.append(self.bt) return container def on_button_pressed(self, widget): self.lbl.set_text('Button pressed!') self.bt.set_text('Hi!') start(MyApp) Michael #3: Typer Build great CLIs. Easy to code. Based on Python type hints. Typer is FastAPI's little sibling. And it's intended to be the FastAPI of CLIs. Just declare once the types of parameters (arguments and options) as function parameters. You do that with standard modern Python types. You don't have to learn a new syntax, the methods or classes of a specific library, etc. Based on Click Example (min version) import typer def main(name: str): typer.echo(f"Hello {name}") if __name__ == "__main__": typer.run(main) Brian #4: Effectively using Matplotlib Chris Moffitt “… I think I was a little premature in dismissing matplotlib. To be honest, I did not quite understand it and how to use it effectively in my workflow.” That very much sums up my relationship with matplotlib. But I’m ready to take another serious look at it. one reason for complexity is 2 interfaces MATLAB like state-based interface object based interface (use this) recommendations: Learn the basic matplotlib terminology, specifically what is a Figure and an Axes . Always use the object-oriented interface. Get in the habit of using it from the start of your analysis. Start your visualizations with basic pandas plotting. Use seaborn for the more complex statistical visualizations. Use matplotlib to customize the pandas or seaborn visualization. Runs through an example Describes figures and plots Includes a handy reference for customizing a plot. Related: StackOverflow answer that shows how to generate and embed a matplotlib image into a flask app without saving it to a file. Style it with pylustrator.readthedocs.io :) Michael #5: Django Simple Task django-simple-task runs background tasks in Django 3 without requiring other services and workers. It runs them in the same event loop as your ASGI application. Here’s a simple overview of how it works: On application start, a queue is created and a number of workers starts to listen to the queue When defer is called, a task(function or coroutine function) is added to the queue When a worker gets a task, it runs it or delegates it to a threadpool On application shutdown, it waits for tasks to finish before exiting ASGI server It is required to run Django with ASGI server. Example from django_simple_task import defer def task1(): time.sleep(1) print("task1 done") async def task2(): await asyncio.sleep(1) print("task2 done") def view(requests): defer(task1) defer(task2) return HttpResponse(b"My View") Brian #6: PyPI Stats at pypistats.org Simple interface. Pop in a package name and get the download stats. Example use: Why is my open source project now getting PRs and issues? I’ve got a few packages on PyPI, not updated much. cards and submark are mostly for demo purposes for teaching testing. pytest-check is a pytest plugin that allows multiple failures per test. I only hear about issues and PRs on one of these. So let’s look at traffic. cards: downloads day: 2 week: 24 month: 339 submark: day: 5 week: 9 month: 61 pytest-check: day: 976 week: 4,524 month: 19,636 That totally explains why I need to start actually supporting pytest-check. Cool. Note: it’s still small. Top 20 packages are all downloaded over 1.3 million times per day. Extras: Comment from January Python PDX West meetup “Please remember to have one beginner friendly talk per meetup.” Good point.
