> In the "New SI" four of the SI base units – namely the kilogram, the ampere, the kelvin and the mole – will be redefined in terms of constants; the new definitions will be based on fixed numerical values of the Planck constant (h), the elementary charge (e), the Boltzmann constant (kB), and the Avogadro constant (NA), respectively. Further, the definitions of all seven base units of the SI will also be uniformly expressed using the explicit-constant formulation, and specific mises en pratique will be drawn up to explain the realization of the definitions of each of the base units in a practical way.

Docker in Production: A History of Failure
Introduction My first encounter with docker goes back to early 2015. Docker was experimented with to find out whether it could benefit us. At the time it wasn’t possible to run a container [i…
Local Reconstruction Codes — more precise storage model means less encoding overhead, and faster reconstruction/recovery time means there's less chance for other failures to happen while the system is vulnerable

note for Samsung users: every single protection measure in KNOX is broken, including KASLR, DFI, SELinux and RKP in general. Talk with details and end-to-end exploitation demos is expected July 27 at BH USA'17
Also there are two talks announced which demonstrate different but notably completely automated, AI-driven antivirus and IDS bypass techniques for Android and Windows, respectively. We're going into totally movieplot territory here :)
This is one solid advice, if hard to follow at times.
