"Specialization is for insects." This Robert Heinlein quote is more appropriate than ever, the pace of change continues to accelerate and the standards of today are the relics of tomorrow. How do we thrive in a world that is constantly changing? Proposed by Joi Ito of the MIT Media Lab, this talk will apply these nine principles for navigating the 21st century. Open Source, Agile and DevOps are fundamental to adapting to change, managing risk through resiliency, and cultivating a culture of networked improvement. We may not know what the future holds, but we can get ready for it today.

Change

Introductions
• Matt Ray
• Director Cloud Integrations
at Chef
• matt@getchef.com
• mattray GitHub|IRC|Twitter

Background
• Bruce Sterling
• Resiliency, Risk, and a Good Compass: Tools for the Coming
Chaos
• Writer, speaker, futurist, design instructor
• Joi Ito
• From a Container to a Network
• Director of the MIT Media Lab

Progress is Disruption
• Software
• Media
• Society

Resilience over Strength
• MTTR > MTBF
• Expect and embrace
failure

Pull over Push
• Intelligence at the edges
• Disaggregated
component toolchains

Risk over Safety
• Continuous Integration
means continuously
breaking things
• Fast moving disruption

Systems over Objects
• How do you fit into the
larger ecosystem?
• Feedback loops

Compasses over Maps
• Maps are static snapshots
• Navigation and values
allow course corrections
• Results without
understanding are
useless

Practice over Theory
• Science > feelings
• “We prefer working code
over standards bodies”

Disobedience over Compliance
• Innovating without
asking permission
• Shadow IT

Emergence over Authority
• Wikipedia vs. Britannica
• Open Source
• Convergence

Learning over Education
• What did you learn in
school?
• Value of certifications?

9 Principles
• Resilience over strength

• Practice over theory

• Pull over push

• Disobedience over
compliance

• Risk over safety
• Systems over objects

• Emergence over
authority

• Compasses over maps

• Learning over education

Thanks!

By Chris Diehl, The Data Guild Our modern world represents an inextricable blend of the cyber and physical domains. Networked devices with sensing and computational capabilities continue to expand the extent of the cyber-physical interface, increasing risks across scales from the individual to the societal level. No longer do we fully understand the extent of what is being collected and assimilated about us. For marginalized populations globally, the consequences of this can be severe. What is the nature of the risk at the level of the individual? How can the data science community respond to improve the current reality? Chris will present some initial thoughts to frame the concerns and outline a way forward.

I Build The Black Box: Grappling with Product and Policy: The rate of improvement in techniques for building machine learning models over the past 2 years has been astounding; between generalized embedding models like starspace and scalable, portable classifiers like XGBoost now mean that we can compress months of work into days or even hours. Unfortunately, we have not had any similar improvements in our ability to solve the product and policy problems that so often go hand-in-hand with building and deploying models; if anything, our reliance on self-optimizing black box techniques means that these problems are only getting harder, and as we bring machine learning to bear on more diverse domains, the stakes are only getting higher. Bio: Josh Wills is the head of data engineering at Slack. Prior to Slack, he built and led data science teams at Cloudera and Google. He is the founder of the Apache Crunch project, co-authored an O’Reilly book on advanced analytics with Apache Spark, and wrote a popular tweet about data scientists.

I will be sharing illusions and realities that I have observed as a veteran FBI agent, who has worked hundreds of cyber incidents, and what I see today having assimilated into the innovative world of Silicon Valley tech. We all know that cybersecurity threats are evolving faster than the world can consume them and that requires passionate and dedicated people to help advance us forward and protect our assets. The reality is government alone cannot move at the pace that is needed to protect their constituents. Often there is a disconnect from what government perceives as a problem versus what private industry categorizes as a risk. Government and technology companies must work together to solve the breach pandemic we have today. I will be highlighting how enterprises are truly preparing their security teams, what valuable metrics they are capturing, what tools are most useful, and what government best practices and standards have been the most sticky. I will be covering the realities of applying threat intelligence, big data analytics and artificial intelligence at scale. Then we will take a step forward and think about what new security problems might be awaiting us in the near future. My goal is to expose the facts of what organizations are actually experiencing, which should help government focus their efforts in the areas that will be most effective at combating the threats that face us daily.

On any construction site incidents and injuries can happen in the blink of an eye. Toolbox talks can be an effective way to remind and reinforce safe work practices. As an informal gathering, toolbox talks, sometimes referred to as tailgate meetings or safety briefings, provide an opportunity for safety professionals to connect with workers and discuss upcoming work or review past incidents. Topics can range from general safety tips to in-depth reviews of electrical or fall hazards. Whether the job site is big or small integrating toolbox talks into your routine can help drive safety culture and make sure everyone gets home at the end of the day.
