Netflix was founded in 1997 by Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph. It launched its DVD-by-mail rental service in 1998 and later began offering subscription streaming in 2007. Netflix has since expanded internationally and become a pioneer in original content production. As of 2023, Netflix has over 200 million subscribers in over 190 countries and its most popular shows include The Witcher and Stranger Things.
Netflix is the world's leading internet television network, founded in 1997. It initially offered DVD sales and rentals but now focuses on online streaming. The document outlines Netflix's financials, customers, employees, challenges in international expansion like local content and language barriers, and concludes that Netflix will maintain its leadership through innovative strategies.
Netflix is the world's leading internet television network. In this presentation, I talk about the aspects of Netflix culture that have contributed to its success. The freedom and responsibility culture, with highly aligned, loosely coupled teams of amazing, enthusiastic, helpful, high performance people with excellent judgement has helped build Netflix to adapt and change quickly, and iterate to make the best service possible. By eliminating rules and processes, and ensuring that employees have the contexts of the business in all aspects, Netflix has enabled employees to use their judgement to get things done rather than relying on control or process. This has resulted in Netflix becoming a leader in not only internet streaming, but also cloud computing, media, and culture. Because of the Netflix culture, we have been able to attract and retain great employees.
I give a few examples from my team, Edge Engineering of how the culture enables us to build the high scale, resilient and dynamic services that are the front door to the Netflix streaming application, and how the freedom we have has enabled us to open source core technologies that are needed for large scale, service-oriented architectures in a cloud environment.
This slideshow also gives a high level overview of how the streaming service works, and how Netflix's Open Connect Appliance can help ISPs.
Airbnb was founded in 2008 and has since grown to have over $30 billion in valuation and $900 million in revenue in 2015.

The Truth about Tone from the Top by @EricPesikEric Pesik
Are your executives telling the truth when they say "ethics matter"? Senior executives are involved in 53% of bribery cases. And they know about 86% of corporate fraud cases. If management lies about ethics, what message does that send? What is the true "tone from the top"?
Airbnb is an online marketplace that connects people looking to rent out their homes and spaces with people seeking accommodations. Hosts list and rent out their unused spaces to travelers searching for lodging in 192 countries worldwide. Airbnb addresses problems of trust between strangers by vetting users and allowing them to build reputations through ratings and reviews. It also protects users' privacy and ensures it receives commissions by censoring contact information in messages between hosts and travelers on the site until a booking is made.

Netflix is an American entertainment company that provides streaming media and video on demand. It was founded in 1997 and has since expanded globally to be available in over 190 countries. Netflix uses a subscription-based business model with monthly fees for access to its large library of content. It has been increasing its original content production in recent years. While Netflix has been very successful in growing its subscriber base internationally, its business model relies heavily on content licensing costs which impact profitability.
Staying up to date with new apps is a habit that all marketers should develop. You always need to be on the lookout for places to engage your potential customers!
The Crisis of Self Sovereignty in The Age of Surveillance CapitalismJongseung Kim
Surveillance capitalism is a new economic system that claims human experience as free raw material for hidden commercial practices of extraction, prediction, and sales. It relies on accumulating behavioral surplus data from users and using machine learning to generate prediction products that are sold to businesses. This allows firms like Google to convert behavioral surplus directly into revenue. The amount of surplus accumulated affects the accuracy of predictions, driving firms to amass ever greater stores of behavioral data for continued profits in behavioral futures markets.
Netflix began as a DVD rental service in 1997 and transitioned to online streaming in 2007 in response to declining DVD sales and changing consumer trends. It now has over 86 million subscribers worldwide and a large library of exclusive original content. The online streaming industry is highly dynamic and competitive with low barriers to entry. While Netflix faces threats from new entrants, substitutes, and bargaining suppliers and buyers, it maintains advantages through exclusive contracts and its recommendation algorithm.

Taming the ever-evolving Compliance Beast : Lessons learnt at LinkedIn [Strat...Shirshanka Das
Just when you think you have your Kafka and Hadoop clusters set up and humming and you’re well on your path to democratizing data, you realize that you now have a very different set of challenges to solve. You want to provide unfettered access to data to your data scientists, but at the same time, you need to preserve the privacy of your members, who have entrusted you with their data.
Shirshanka Das and Tushar Shanbhag outline the path LinkedIn has taken to protect member privacy in its scalable distributed data ecosystem built around Kafka and Hadoop.
They also discuss three foundational building blocks for scalable data management that can meet data compliance regulations: a centralized metadata system, a standardized data lifecycle management platform, and a unified data access layer. Some of these systems are open source and can be of use to companies that are in a similar situation. Along the way, they also look to the future—specifically, to the General Data Protection Regulation, which comes into effect in 2018—and outline LinkedIn’s plans for addressing those requirements.
But technology is just part of the solution. Shirshanka and Tushar also share the culture and process change they’ve seen happen at the company and the lessons they’ve learned about sustainable process and governance.

The document summarizes an interview with Dana Butler, an LMFT who volunteers with OutFront Minnesota, an organization established in 1987 to advocate for LGBTQ rights. OutFront Minnesota focuses on community organizing, public policy, anti-violence initiatives, legal work, and education. Butler graduated from Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary and currently works as a private practice counselor in Minnesota while advocating for LGBTQ issues since the 1990s. Butler discussed the progress made in LGBTQ rights in recent decades but also remaining safety concerns for the community and covert forms of discrimination. The current political climate is also a source of concern for LGBTQ individuals.
La web 1.0 se refería a la web comercial que surgió en la década de 1990, cuando las páginas tenían como objetivo principal informar de forma vertical, lo que significa que los propietarios publicaban información una sola vez para que los lectores pudieran acceder a ella de forma permanente.
The document discusses the importance of the LGBT Community Center in New York City. It provides a safe space for the LGBT community and preserves the history of the gay rights movement. The center was founded in 1983 and has served as a meeting place for major activist groups like ACT-UP that helped drive the AIDS movement. It also hosts support groups, houses an LGBT library and archive, and allows over 400 community groups to meet annually. The center remains historically significant as the starting point for many influential LGBT activist organizations and continues to support the LGBT community.

The document provides tips and guidelines for proper email etiquette. It discusses keeping messages short with concise paragraphs and summaries. Proper formatting is important, including structure, grammar, spelling and links. When replying or forwarding, address all questions and only reply to relevant parties. Consider sensitivity when discussing others or expressing emotions. Email has limitations so alternative communication may be needed in some situations.
The document discusses various components of electronic communication, including chatting, blogs, podcasting, discussion boards, text messaging, and email. It provides details on each type such as how chatting and text messaging work in real-time, how blogs are online journals, and how podcasts and discussion boards allow sharing of audio/video files and messages with feedback. Examples are given for different chat programs, podcasts on iTunes, and moderated vs unmoderated discussion boards.
The document discusses the erosion of privacy and civil liberties due to increased government surveillance post 9/11. It notes that fear was used to justify greater surveillance powers through laws like the Patriot Act. While terrorism is a real threat, the level of threat is exaggerated to gain public support for intrusive surveillance. Mass surveillance has grown exponentially with programs like PRISM capturing data from tech companies. The document argues that smartphones and social media have enabled unprecedented government and private sector access to people's personal data and location information. It calls for stronger encryption tools to protect privacy and reclaim control over personal data and communications.

Refugees on Rails Berlin - #2 Tech Talk on SecurityGianluca Varisco
1. Edward Snowden's NSA leaks from 2013 increased public awareness of privacy issues and prompted tech companies to improve privacy protections for users.
2. Major security breaches in 2014-2015 exposed vulnerabilities like Heartbleed and compromised user data from companies like Ashley Madison, TalkTalk, and VTech.
3. The growing Internet of Things introduces new security threats as more devices become connected, and human error remains a major weak point that can undermine other security defenses. Basic security practices like strong unique passwords and two-factor authentication are recommended.
Last i t talk. L t minute t lk about underground economy and cybercrime. The speaker discussed the evolution of hacking from curiosity to money motivated crimes and the rise of underground economies that facilitate cybercrimes like identity theft and banking fraud.
Simon Harrison RWE - Chain of Things 010616 finalSimon Harrison
This document discusses the need for security in the Internet of Things (IoT). It provides background on IoT, including key events in its development over time. It then discusses some of the security risks associated with IoT, including risks to confidentiality, integrity, availability and non-repudiation. Potential threat actors like criminals, mischief-makers, terrorists and discontented individuals are also outlined. The document argues that as more things become connected, security needs to be a higher priority early in the design process.

This Time, It’s Personal: Why Security and the IoT Is DifferentJustin Grammens
Unfortunately, in recent years we’ve seen a host of incidences where IoT devices were compromised. Sometimes these have been minor with little coverage, while others like Mirai affected millions around the globe a produced serious economic impact. When attacks like this occur, they not only erode the trust of the users of these devices, but cause those who are looking to adopt this new technology to pause. With any new technology, security must be thought of as a first class citizen and when we are talking about IoT, the data is personal. As the IoT matures, I’ll share some mistakes that have happened in the past, where we are today and how I believe we are now finally seeing a maturity of devices that are remotely updated, fault tolerant and secure. When it comes to building an IoT device, security is personal.
Service Design Days 2017 - Keynote Jon Rogers (University of Dundee)SERVICE DESIGN DAYS
The document discusses concerns around voice-enabled internet technologies and how they could impact society. It notes that a growing percentage of searches and device commands are now done by voice. Two potential nightmare scenarios are described: 1) the internet of things enables dystopian surveillance and control as depicted in fiction, and 2) it enables real-world concerns about data exploitation expressed by Noam Chomsky to come true. The retreat aims to have discussions around building a healthier voice-enabled future and addressing issues of privacy, consent, control and the true costs and impacts of new technologies.
The document discusses the challenges of securing the Internet of Things (IoT) as more physical objects are connected to the internet. It notes that IPv6 will enable assigning IP addresses to physical things, interconnecting the virtual and physical worlds. Security challenges include packet spoofing, device spoofing, encryption, key distribution, and privacy protection as things are constantly evolving and globally distributed. Professional challenges include anticipating problems for a world of networked physical objects and preparing security strategies now rather than reacting later.
The term “Internet of Things” refers to all those objects or
devices of everyday life that are connected to the Internet
and that have some kind of intelligence.
1) The document discusses the dark net, which makes up 96% of the internet that is not accessible through traditional search engines and browsers.
2) To access the dark net, one must use the Tor project browser, which conceals a user's location and usage through a worldwide network of volunteers.
3) The dark net contains sites for hacking, weapons, drugs, child exploitation, and hitmen. Many users access it to buy drugs or hire hackers, while others engage in more illegal activities like murder.
The document discusses the dark web and privacy. It begins with an overview of the dark web, including that it goes beyond just illegal activities and can be used to protect privacy. It then outlines the agenda, which includes exploring the origins of the dark web, anonymous browsing tools like Tor, how to navigate the dark web and its pitfalls, and tools that hackers use. The document provides background on topics like dial-up networks, bulletin board systems, the evolution to broadband, and the history of Tor and onion routing. It also covers navigating anonymously, such as through VPNs and Tor, and common hacker tools.
Cyber is one of our areas that we also promote in Must HighTech Expo. We invite you to participate in our virtual exhibitions, on different high tech thematic and especially on cybersecurity.
Corporate security should protect a company's resilience, governance, and legal compliance, but often devolves into outsourcing questionable activities or serving political agendas. Intelligence agencies aim to gather information for national security through espionage, signals intelligence, and public sources, then analyze and propagate insights to support crisis management, defense planning, and covertly guiding events in a country's interests, while also counteracting foreign espionage. However, the lines between these purposes can blur, as evidenced by the following case studies.
Similar a Privacy is an Illusion and you’re all losers! - Cryptocow - Infosecurity 2013 (20)
This document discusses privacy and how individuals freely provide their personal data to companies in exchange for free services and lower prices. It notes that companies then use this data for targeted advertising, retargeting, and other purposes to generate billions in revenue without compensating individuals. The document suggests ideas like personal clouds and data cooperatives to give consumers more control over their own data and ensure they benefit from its use and sale.

Let's Google My Audience - Privacy is for Losers!Cain Ransbottyn
The document discusses various social media experiments and failures of privacy. It describes experiments where the speaker gained access to people's Facebook accounts, connected to strangers on Foursquare, and threatened to reveal private information to audiences. It then lists examples where privacy failed, such as personal records being publicly released and telecom operators selling customer data to marketers. Throughout, it asserts that privacy no longer exists in the digital world.
#Smc040 @ransbottyn's Experiment: Social Media Product PlacementCain Ransbottyn
A good example was the provoking presentation by Cain Ransbottyn (@ransbottyn), famous in Belgium because his life is a ‘soap on social media’ which is well sponsored using product placement. With 85,000 followers on Twitter he is sure that each message he ‘dumps’ there is picked up one way or the other – and it doesn’t matter what way! His lifestyle is covered by his activities in social media, which usually are well planned and analysed. Of course there are many tricks and it is up to you if you like to use ‘white hat’ or ‘black hat’…

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Threats to mobile devices are more prevalent and increasing in scope and complexity. Users of mobile devices desire to take full advantage of the features
available on those devices, but many of the features provide convenience and capability but sacrifice security. This best practices guide outlines steps the users can take to better protect personal devices and information.

Privacy is an Illusion and you’re all losers! - Cryptocow - Infosecurity 2013
1. privacy is an illusion
and you’re all losers
or how 1984 was a manual for our panopticon society
!
By Cain Ransbottyn - @ransbottyn
2. End of privacy
•
9/11 attacks invigorated the
concept of terrorist threats
•
Post 9/11 there was a strong
and understandable argument
to prioritise security
3. End of civil liberties
•
New word: “asymmetrical
threats”
•
Actually means: “please give
up your civil liberties”, in 2001
55% US citizens were pro; in
2011 only 40% (and
declining).
•
Patriot Act changed the world
for good
4. So, terrorism huh ?
•
systematic use of violent
terror as a means of
coercion
•
violent acts which are
intended to create fear
(terror)
•
perpetrated for a religious,
political, or ideological goal
•
deliberately target or
disregard the safety of noncombatants (civilians)
6. Year on year doubling in surveillance
budget since the Patriot Act
Except for 2013, then there was a dark budget of US$ 52,6B
7. Fear. Uncertainty. Doubt.
•
Instilling fear is a premise for
coercion. But to whom ?
•
Mass media works as a
catalyst to bring fear in the
homes of citizens.
•
We all are very shitty at threat
and risk assessments. Pigs or
sharks ?
•
23,589
40
Or terrorist attacks ?
13,200
* 2010 facts and figures worldwide
8. Are we really capable of
understanding the real
threat level ?
Please demonstrate you can spot a rhetorical question when you see one
9. The convenience of circular
logic
•
Gov’t: We’re using
surveillance so we can
prevent terrorist attacks
You: I don’t see any terrorist
threat or attack
Gov’t: Awesome stuff, hey ?
•
Him: I’m using this repellent to
scare away elephants.
You: But I don’t see any
elephants.
Him: Awesome stuff, hey ?
12. PRISM, XKeyScore, Tempora
!
Thank you Microsoft, Facebook, Yahoo!, Google, Paltalk, YouTube, AOL,
Apple, Skype
Snowden leaks the post 2007 surveillance industry is much worse than anyone could have imagined
13. The rise of private
intelligence agencies
•
The welcome gift of “social
networks”
•
The thankful adoption rate of
smart phones
•
The cloud as the ultimate data
gathering extension to
governments
•
The phone operators remain a
loyal friend
•
The overt investment strategy of
In-Q-Tel
14. The In-Q-Tel investment firm
•
Founded 1999 as not-for-profit
venture capital firm
•
So… if you are not looking to make a
profit, what are you looking for then ?
•
Investments in data mining, call
recording, surveillance, crypto,
biotech, …
•
E.g. 2007 AT&T - Narus STA 6400
backdoor = product of In-Q-Tel
funded company
•
Many (many) participations
worldwide (also Belgium)
15. Social networks as a private
intelligence agency
•
Perfect front offices
•
Facebook as the first global
private intelligence agency
•
Otherwise hard to obtain intel
is being shared voluntarily by
everyone (e.g. hobbies, etc.)
•
US$ 12,7M investment by
James Breyer (Accel), former
colleague of Gilman Louie
(CEO In-Q-Tel)
16. Smart-phones as the
ultimate tracking device
•
Device you carry 24/7 with you.
With a GPS on board.
•
Android has remote install/deinstall
hooks in its OS (so has IOS)
•
OTA vulnerabilities allow remote
installs of byte patches (e.g.
Blackberry incident in UAE)
•
Apple incident (“the bug that
stored your whereabouts”)
•
Any idea how many address
books are stored on iCloud ? :p
17. Smart-phones as the
ultimate tracking device
Wi-Fi based positioning has become very accurate and quickly deployed mainstream
18. Cloud providers as the
perfect honeypot
•
There is no company that is so
invasive as Google
•
Records voice calls (Voice),
analyses e-mail (GMail), knows who
you talk to and where you are
(Android), has all your documents
(Drive) and soon will see through
your eyes (Glass)
•
Robert David Steele (CIA) disclosed
Google takes money from US Intel.
community.
•
In-Q-Tel and Google invest in
mutual companies (mutual interest)
19. Cloud providers as the
perfect honeypot
•
Not only Google. The latest
OSX Mavericks actually asked
me to… store my Keychain in
the cloud *sigh*
•
While Apple claims iMessage
cannot be intercepted, we
know it is possible because
Apple is the MITM and no
end-to-end crypto is used nor
certificate pinning.
20. The loyal friend, the phone
operator
•
Needs to be CALEA and ETSI
compliant. Yeah right :-)
•
Operators are both targets of
surveillance stakeholders (e.g.
Belgacom/BICS hack by GCHQ)
and providers of surveillance tactics
(taps, OTA installs, silent SMS, etc.)
•
Does KPN really trust NICE (Israel)
and does Belgacom really trust
Huawei (China) ?
•
Truth of the matter is: you cannot
trust your operator…
21. Privacy is for losers
If you think you have privacy,
you really are a loser
22. #dta
If a government needs to understand
its enemy, and we’re being surveilled.
Then, who exactly is the enemy ?
31. Requirements
•
Must provide strong crypto
•
Must be open source (GitHub)
•
Must be beautiful and easy to use, we
actually don’t want the user to be
confronted with complex crypto issues
•
Provide deniability
•
Provide alerting mechanisms that alert
the user when something is wrong
•
Even when your device is confiscated,
it should be able to withstand forensic
investigation
32. How it’s built
•
Using tor as transport layer for P2P
routing and provide anonymity (no
exit nodes used).
•
Obfuscated as HTTPS traffic to
prevent gov’t filtering.
•
Using OTR v3.1 to ensure perfect
forward secrecy and end-to-end
crypto.
•
Capable of detecting A5/GSM
tactical surveillance attacks.
•
Extremely effective anti forensic
mechanisms and triggers
35. Why use it ?
•
To protect your human right
on privacy
•
To protect your human right
on freedom of speech
•
Because your communication
needs to remain confidential
•
Because excessive
surveillance is a threat to
modern democracy
36. Privacy might be for losers, but
that doesn’t mean you are OK
to give up your human rights…
