Bart de Bruijn, Co-founder of EstateX: "Tokenization is indeed the future of asset management"

A Floating City and The Blockade Runners by Jules Verne, is part of the HackerNoon Books Series. You can jump to any chapter in this book . CHAPTER III here CHAPTER III. The “Great Eastern” was indeed preparing to sail. Already volumes of black smoke were issuing from the five chimneys, and hot steam filled the engine-rooms. Some sailors were brightening up the four great fog-cannons which were to salute Liverpool as we sailed by. The top-men climbed the yards, disentangled the rigging, and tightened the shrouds on the thick ropes fastened to the barricades. About eleven o’clock the carpenters and painters put the finishing touches to their work, and then embarked on board the tender which awaited them. As soon as there was a sufficient pressure, the steam rushed into the cylinders of the rudder engine, and the engineers had the pleasure of seeing that this ingenious contrivance was an entire success. The weather was fine, with bright gleams of sunshine darting through the rapidly-moving clouds. There must have been a strong breeze at sea, but we did not feel it. The officers were all dispersed about the deck, making preparations for getting under sail. The ship’s officers were composed of the Captain, the first officer, two assistant officers, five lieutenants, of whom one was a Frenchman, M. H——, and a volunteer who was also French. Captain Anderson holds a high place in the commercial marine of England. It is to him we are indebted for the laying of the Transatlantic cable, though it is true that if he succeeded where his predecessors had failed, it was because he worked under more favourable circumstances, having the “Great Eastern” at his command. Be it as it may, his success gained for him the title of “Sir.” I found him to be a very agreeable commander. He was a man of about fifty years of age, with that tawny complexion which remains unchanged by weather or age; a thorough Englishman, with a tall figure, a broad smiling face, and merry eyes; walking with a quiet dignified step, his hands never in his pockets, always irreproachably gloved and elegantly dressed, and invariably with a little piece of his white handkerchief peeping out of the pocket of his blue and gold-laced overcoat. The first officer presented a singular contrast to Captain Anderson, and his appearance is easily described:—an active little man, with a very sunburnt skin, a black beard almost covering his face, and legs which defied every lurch of the vessel. A skilful, energetic seaman, he gave his orders in a clear, decided tone, the boatswain repeating them with a voice like the roaring of a hoarse lion. The second officer’s name was W——: I think he was a naval officer, on board the “Great Eastern” by special permission; he had all the appearance of a regular “Jack-tar.” Besides the ship officers, the engines were under the command of a chief engineer, assisted by eight or ten engineering officers, and a battalion of two hundred and fifty men, some stokers, others oilers, who hardly ever left the engine-rooms. This army of men was well occupied night and day, having ten boilers with ten furnaces and about a hundred fires to attend to. As for the crew of the steam-ship proper, what with quartermasters, top-men, steersmen, and cabin-boys, it comprised about one hundred men, and besides these, there were two hundred stewards employed for serving the passengers. Every man was at his post; the pilot who was to conduct the vessel out of the Mersey had been on board since the evening before. I saw also a French pilot, who was to make the passage with us, and on her return to take the steam-ship into anchorage at Brest. “I begin to think we shall sail to-day,” said I to Lieutenant H—. “We are only waiting for our passengers,” replied my countryman. “Are there many?” “Twelve or thirteen hundred.” At half-past eleven the tender was hailed, laden with passengers, who, as I afterwards learnt, were Californians, Canadians, Americans, Peruvians, English, Germans, and two or three Frenchmen. Among the most distinguished were the celebrated Cyrus Field of New York, the Honourable John Rose of Canada, the Honourable J. Mac Alpine of New York, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Cohen of San Francisco, Mr. and Mrs. Whitney of Montreal, Captain Mc Ph—— and his wife. Among the French was the founder of the “Great Eastern Freight Company,” M. Jules D——, representative of the “Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company,” who had made a contribution of twenty thousand pounds to the fund. The tender ranged herself at the foot of a flight of steps, and then began the slow, interminable ascent of passengers and luggage. The first care of each passenger, when he had once set foot on the steamer, was to go and secure his place in the dining-room; his card, or his name written on a scrap of paper, was enough to insure his possession. I remained on deck in order to notice all the details of embarkation. At half-past twelve the luggage was all on board, and I saw thousands of packages of every description, from chests large enough to contain a suite of furniture, to elegant little travelling-cases and fanciful American and English trunks, heaped together pell-mell. All these were soon cleared from the deck, and stowed away in the store-rooms; workmen and porters returned to the tender, which steered off, after having blackened the side of the “Great Eastern” with her smoke. I was going back towards the bows, when suddenly I found myself face to face with the young man I had seen on Prince’s Landing-Stage. He stopped on seeing me, and held out his hand, which I warmly shook. “You, Fabian!” I cried. “You here?” “Even so, my dear friend.” “I was not mistaken, then; it was really you I saw on the quay a day or two since.” “It is most likely,” replied Fabian, “but I did not see you.” “And you are going to America?” “Certainly! Do you think I could spend a month’s leave better than in travelling?” “How fortunate that you thought of making your tour in the ‘Great Eastern’!” “It was not chance at all, my dear fellow. I read in the newspaper that you were one of the passengers; and as we have not met for some years now, I came on board, in order to make the passage with you.” “Have you come from India?” “Yes, by the ‘Godavery,’ which arrived at Liverpool the day before yesterday.” “And you are travelling, Fabian?” I asked, noticing his pale, sad face. “To divert my mind, if I can,” interrupted Captain Mac Elwin, warmly pressing my hand.

Little Essays of Love and Virtue by Havelock Ellis is part of the HackerNoon Books Series. You can jump to any chapter in this book here . PREFACE PREFACE In these Essays—little, indeed, as I know them to be, compared to the magnitude of their subjects—I have tried to set forth, as clearly as I can, certain fundamental principles, together with their practical application to the life of our time. Some of these principles were stated, more briefly and technically, in my larger Studies of sex; others were therein implied but only to be read between the lines. Here I have expressed them in simple language and with some detail. It is my hope that in this way they may more surely come into the hands of young people, youths and girls at the period of adolescence, who have been present to my thoughts in all the studies I have written of sex because I was myself of that age when I first vaguely planned them. I would prefer to leave to their judgment the question as to whether this book is suitable to be placed in the hands of older people. It might only give them pain. It is in youth that the questions of mature age can alone be settled, if they ever are to be settled, and unless we begin to think about adult problems when we are young all our thinking is likely to be in vain. There are but few people who are able when youth is over either on the one hand to re-mould themselves nearer to those facts of Nature and of Society they failed to perceive, or had not the courage to accept, when they were young, or, on the other hand, to mould the facts of the exterior world nearer to those of their own true interior world. One hesitates to bring home to them too keenly what they have missed in life. Yet, let us remember, even for those who have missed most, there always remains the fortifying and consoling thought that they may at least help to make the world better for those who come after them, and the possibilities of human adjustment easier for others than it has been for themselves. They must still remain true to their own traditions. We could not wish it to be otherwise. The art of making love and the art of being virtuous;—two aspects of the great art of living that are, rightly regarded, harmonious and not at variance—remain, indeed, when we cease to misunderstand them, essentially the same in all ages and among all peoples. Yet, always and everywhere, little modifications become necessary, little, yet, like so many little things, im mense in their significance and results. In this way, if we are really alive, we flexibly adjust ourselves to the world in which we find ourselves, and in so doing simultaneously adjust to ourselves that ever-changing world, ever-changing, though its changes are within such narrow limits that it yet remains substantially the same. It is with such modification that we are concerned in these Little Essays. H.E.

The Moon Metal by Garrett Putman Serviss is part of the HackerNoon Books Series. You can jump to any chapter in this book here . A MYSTERY INDEED! A MYSTERY INDEED! When President Boon had heard our story he promptly approved Hall’s dismissal of the men. He expressed great surprise that Dr. Syx should have resorted to a deception which had been so disastrous to innocent people, and at first he talked of legal proceedings. But, after thinking the matter over, he concluded that Syx was too powerful to be attacked with success, especially when the only evidence against him was that he had claimed to find artemisium in his mine at a time when, as everybody knew, artemisium actually was found outside the mine. There was no apparent motive for the deception, and no proof of malicious intent. In short, Mr. Boon decided that the best thing for him and his stockholders to do was to keep silent about their losses and await events. And, at Hall’s suggestion, he also determined to say nothing to anybody about the discovery we had made. “It could do no good,” said Hall, in making the suggestion, “and it might spoil a plan I have in mind.” “What plan?” asked the president. “I prefer not to tell just yet,” was the reply. I observed that, in our interview with Mr. Boon, Hall made no reference to the side tunnel to which he had appeared to attach so much importance, and I concluded that he now regarded it as lacking significance. In this I was mistaken. A few days afterwards I received an invitation from Hall to accompany him once more into the abandoned tunnel. “I have found out what that sidetrack means,” he said, “and it has plunged me into another mystery so dark and profound that I cannot see my way through it. I must beg you to say no word to any one concerning the things I am about to show you.” I gave the required promise, and we entered the tunnel, which nobody had visited since our former adventure. Having extinguished our lamp, my companion opened the peep-hole, and a thin ray of light streamed through from the tunnel on the opposite side of the wall. He applied his eye to the hole. “Yes,” he said, quickly stepping back and pushing me into his place, “they are still at it. Look, and tell me what you see.” “I see,” I replied, after placing my eye at the aperture, “a gang of men unloading a car which has just come out of the side tunnel, and putting its contents upon another car standing on the track of the main tunnel.” “Yes, and what are they handling?” “Why, ore, of course.” “And do you see nothing significant in that?” “To be sure!” I exclaimed. “Why, that ore—” “Hush! hush!” admonished Hall, putting his hand over my mouth; “don’t talk so loud. Now go on, in a whisper.” “The ore,” I resumed, “may have come back from the furnace-room, because the side tunnel turns off so as to run parallel with the other.” “It not only may have come back, it actually has come back,” said Hall. “How can you be sure?” “Because I have been over the track, and know that it leads to a secret apartment directly under the furnace in which Dr. Syx pretends to melt the ore!” For a minute after hearing this avowal I was speechless. “Are you serious?” I asked at length. “Perfectly serious. Run your finger along the rock here. Do you perceive a seam? Two days ago, after seeing what you have just witnessed in the Syx tunnel, I carefully cut out a section of the wall, making an aperture large enough to crawl through, and, when I knew the workmen were asleep, I crept in there and examined both tunnels from end to end. But in solving one mystery I have run myself into another infinitely more perplexing.” “How is that?” “Why does Dr. Syx take such elaborate pains to deceive his visitors, and also the government officers? It is now plain that he conducts no mining operations whatever. This mine of his is a gigantic blind. Whenever inspectors or scientific curiosity seekers visit his mill his mute workmen assume the air of being very busy, the cars laden with his so-called ‘ore’ rumble out of the tunnel, and their contents are ostentatiously poured into the furnace, or appear to be poured into it, really dropping into a receptacle beneath, to be carried back into the mine again. And then the doctor leads his gulled visitors around to the other side of the furnace and shows them the molten metal coming out in streams. Now what does it all mean? That’s what I’d like to find out. What’s his game? For, mark you, if he doesn’t get artemisium from this pretended ore, he gets it from some other source, and right on this spot, too. There is no doubt about that. The whole world is supplied by Syx’s furnace, and Syx feeds his furnace with something that comes from his ten acres of Grand Teton rock. What is that something? How does he get it, and where does he hide it? These are the things I should like to find out.” “Well,” I replied, “I fear I can’t help you.” “But the difference between you and me,” he retorted, “is that you can go to sleep over it, while I shall never get another good night’s rest so long as this black mystery remains unsolved.” “What will you do?” “I don’t know exactly what. But I’ve got a dim idea which may take shape after a while.” Hall was silent for some time; then he suddenly asked: “Did you ever hear of that queer magic-lantern show with which Dr. Syx entertained Mr. Boon and the members of the financial commission in the early days of the artemisium business?” “Yes, I’ve heard the story, but I don’t think it was ever made public. The newspapers never got hold of it.” “No, I believe not. Odd thing, wasn’t it?” “Why, yes, very odd, but just like the doctor’s eccentric ways, though. He’s always doing something to astonish somebody, without any apparent earthly reason. But what put you in mind of that?” “Free artemisium put me in mind of it,” replied Hall, quizzically. “I don’t see the connection.” “I’m not sure that I do either, but when you are dealing with Dr. Syx nothing is too improbable to be thought of.” Hall thereupon fell to musing again, while we returned to the entrance of the tunnel. After he had made everything secure, and slipped the key into his pocket, my companion remarked: “Don’t you think it would be best to keep this latest discovery to ourselves?” “Certainly.” “Because,” he continued, “nobody would be benefited just now by knowing what we know, and to expose the worthlessness of the ‘ore’ might cause a panic. The public is a queer animal, and never gets scared at just the thing you expect will alarm it, but always at something else.” We had shaken hands and were separating when Hall stopped me. “Do you believe in alchemy?” he asked. “That’s an odd question from you,” I replied. “I thought alchemy was exploded long ago.” “Well,” he said, slowly, “I suppose it has been exploded, but then, you know, an explosion may sometimes be a kind of instantaneous education, breaking up old things but revealing new ones.” About HackerNoon Book Series: We bring you the most important technical, scientific, and insightful public domain books.

A MYSTERY INDEED!

In 2022 crypto sentiments cooled down, but not the opportunities in the crypto market. As demand for cryptocurrencies continues to rise to new levels, so do job openings. According to a , crypto-related job postings saw more than a 110% increase since September 2020. recent report While job listings are exploding, not only crypto companies are on a hiring spree, but mainstream giants are also opening special blockchain and crypto departments and onboarding talent to lead them. So, if you want to make cryptocurrency your occupation, here’s the way to make it into this growing space. Choose a Sector Crypto has grown a lot over these past few years, and now entering the market isn’t as easy. To get started in the crypto sector, you need to first consider the scope. Every job position requires its own special set of qualifications and skills. One of the highest paying roles in crypto is blockchain developer with main programming languages in the sector, including C++, C#, Solidity, GO, JavaScript, and Python. According to the 2021 , the global demand for blockchain developers is expected to increase as much as 500% yearly. Global Blockchain Employment Report For a tech-focused career in crypto, you can look at mining companies where jobs are centered around maintaining the data centers and mining plants, but it doesn’t just cover data center technicians, and mining process engineers but also includes content creators, PR managers, business developers and marketing assistants. If you are not a blockchain developer, no worries, as there are tons of opportunities for the position like a content writer, research analyst, social media manager, product manager, community manager and assistant editor. Other bright and competitive opportunities in crypto are present in the venture capital sector in the form of investment analysts, research associates, and junior portfolio analysts. Now, where do you find these jobs? Crypto Job Resources Here’s a list of top resources that will help you find the perfect job in crypto. CoinMarketCap This crypto data tracking site, which is owned by the largest crypto exchange Binance, also has an official job board. You just have to put in the right keyword and your preferred location, and you’ll be able to see all the available job openings. The “Distance” option on the website will calculate the distance from the location to your workplace. Cryptocurrency Jobs This job listing also allows you to filter your search by a keyword, role, company, and specialization, as well as the option to choose between a location or remote offering. It further tells when the job has just been listed as many times companies are no longer active but don’t remove their postings. This site also sends out email alerts about new postings in your field. Crypto Job A recruitment platform for specialists within the crypto space that says it is “on a mission to connect talented individuals to the best blockchain projects.” As is the case in crypto, the majority of the positions are remote here. This easy-to-use website allows you to filter jobs to your specifications and also offers a newsletter that sends you jobs as soon as they’re posted. Coin Jobs List Crypto Jobs List has a vast number of jobs available on its website that features a tracker to identify your location and refine your searches based on that.

Indeed A popular job board for all kinds of roles in all sorts of industries, Indeed also caters to the crypto space with a dedicated section. Compared to other sites that are crypto-specific, you may not find many roles here but could find jobs that are not on other websites. Much like Indeed, a big job board LinkedIn can be good for crypto job listings though you would have to search for specific keywords. Now that you are equipped with all the resources to begin your career in the cryptocurrency industry, you can begin the process to familiarize yourself with the sector and get deeper. You can do so by using different crypto projects and trying out crypto platforms. One more important piece of advice from me is . In the cryptocurrency industry, it is incredibly important. The industry is developing very quickly and people move from one project to another, gathering teams and track records of many acquaintances in the industry for years. networking Besides being up-to-date with all that is going on in this past-pace industry, it would do you good to interact with others on crypto Twitter and attend in-person meetups, and conferences. It will help you network and improve your chances of getting hired. And the last important thing is that we are in a bear market and this is not the point to be upset about. The best thing you can do is to sharpen your crypto skills. Many successful projects were built during previous bear markets (e.g. Coinbase, Uniswap, Solana, OpenSea). Every wave of new people in cryptocurrency comes during a bull market. By 2024, you should have 2 to 3 years of experience in the crypto space!

Find A Job in Crypto: CoinMarketCap Vs. AngelList Vs. Indeed

Introduction We spoke to Rob Pike, the co-author of the Go programming language, about a career spanning four decades, the evolution of Go over the last ten years, and into the future. The Interview Unlike many developers today, you started your career decades ago at Bell Labs. What’s been the biggest change in the way we develop software that you can think of, given your rare perspective? Evrone: The scale is much bigger today. Not just of the computers and the network, but the programs themselves. All of Unix version 6 (circa 1975) fits comfortably on a single RK05 disk pack, which has just over 2MB of storage, with lots of room left over for user software. And that was a fine computing environment, or at least seemed like one at the time. Although I can, of course, explain much of the growth, it is astonishing and perhaps not all of it is justified. Rob: Given the "resistance to change" and "promise of compatibility" ideas, how do you see the next 10 years for the Go programming language and its ecosystem? What is the best future you envision for your technology? Evrone: Although it's far from certain, after over a decade of work it looks like a design for parametric polymorphism, what is colloquially but misleadingly called generics, is coming in the next year or two. It was a very hard problem to find a design that works within the existing language and feels as if it belongs, but Ian Taylor invested a phenomenal amount of energy into the problem and it looks like the answer is now in reach. Rob: How that affects the libraries, the ecosystem, and the community will be fascinating to watch. With "gradual typing" being introduced into "dynamically typed" languages and "type inference" into "statically typed", the line between two is now blurred. What is your opinion on a type system for a modern programming language? Evrone: I am a big fan of static typing because of the stability and safety it brings. Rob: I am a big fan of dynamic typing because of the fun and lightweight feel it brings. (As a side note, the big push for integrated unit testing can be credited to languages like Python, which drove testing to demonstrate correctness that the typing system failed to provide.) I am not a fan of type-driven programming, type hierarchies and classes and inheritance. Although many hugely successful projects have been built that way, I feel the approach pushes important decisions too early into the design phase, before experience can influence it. In other words, I prefer composition to inheritance. However, I say to those who are comfortable using inheritance to structure their programs: pay no attention and please continue to use what works for you. Sometimes people use technologies in strange ways. For example, to generate efficient Go code from the high-level Python or Ruby code (yes, we saw that happening!) Over the years, what is the strangest, most creative or amusing Go usage have you seen? What surprised you the most? Evrone: The biggest surprise was when we learned that Go was being used to write malware. You can't control who will use your work or what they will do with it. Rob: You created a number of text editors. What do you think about the Visual Studio code? With technologies like LSP, the line between "text editor" and IDE is blurred now. Do you think software developers need full-featured IDEs like GoLand or using VSCode is fine? Evrone: I am from a different time, before IDEs, but there was talk early in the project about whether Go needed an IDE to succeed. No one on the team had the right skill set, though, so we did not try to create one. However, we did create core libraries for parsing and printing Go code, which soon enabled high-quality plugins for all manner of editor and IDE, and that was a serendipitous success. Rob: More recently, we've been working hard on an LSP server for Go called gopls, which can be used by any editor or IDE that supports that protocol to improve the experience working with the language. Perhaps because of our comfort working with simpler styles of editor, we made sure that one could work comfortably in Go without heavy lifting from the programming environment. An IDE can certainly help, though: most of those I see working in Go today use one, or at least an editor with custom Go support, and get much value from it. The question of what style of editor to use is a matter of taste, colored by the culture of the language you work in. Software developers tend to label things, such as Dart being a "frontend language", and C being a "system low-level language", and so on. How would you term the Go programming language now, given its feature set and usage? Evrone: Go is a general-purpose programming language. Write whatever you want in it and don't worry about pinning the language, or any other technology for that matter, to a single problem domain. Rob: What other modern programming languages do you personally like? Evrone: The Go experience has taught me that people love to opine about languages, perhaps more than almost any other element of our field. And I have certainly done so myself. But I am tired of the negativity that often results, so now I try to avoid judging things for others. Rob: There has been a real renaissance in language design over the last 10 years or so, after a period where very few new languages were arriving and succeeding. It's great to see this and the innovation it brings. How does being a Google employee help you develop and guide the Go language? How important is it to be able to ask "tell us how you use our language" on Twitter and get responses from the biggest companies all over the world? Is it just a nice addition or an essential part of language development? How does Google help you? Evrone: Google has been very generous in its support for the Go project, for which I am very grateful. And of course the language was created because we thought Google needed it; what became called "cloud computing" needed a language with good support for concurrency and easy deployment, among other things. But Google has not directed the project in any significant way. It supports us and lets us do what we think is best. Rob: Regarding other companies and other users, input from the community is a vital part of understanding how the project, by which I mean the language, compiler, tools, runtime, library, environment — all of it — advances. After 10 years of Go development and observing how it is used, what can you name the biggest design success and, opposite, biggest design failure for the language? It's strongest and weakest points, respectively? Evrone: I would like to call out two things, one technical and one political. Rob: The technical one is first-class support for concurrent computation. Go is only a decade or so old, but when it was being developed, "threading" and concurrency were not widely appreciated in the programming community. In fact a major reason for creating Go was the difficulty of doing concurrent computation in C++ at the time. It became clear shortly after launch that the concurrency support was a major attraction, one that compensated for what some felt were weaknesses in other parts of the language. Concurrency struck a nerve. And once people played with the concurrency, they started exploring the other things about the language and learned that there was more there than they originally thought. Support for concurrency was the gateway. As John Graham-Cumming of Cloudflare says, "I came for the easy concurrency, I stayed for the easy composition". Go changed the conversation around how to program multicore computers. The political success was the firm promise made about compatibility for Go version 1. Once we, and the community, had used Go for a few years, we had a long list of things we wanted to fix, but change is disruptive. So we did a careful program of updates, with the "go fix" command to pull the community along, and once that was done, not only did we stop, we promised to stay stopped. That stability — Go programs written in 2012 will still compile and run perfectly today — was a huge enabler for growth. Companies could use the language with confidence that we would not break their software. The adoption rate increased dramatically after version 1 and its compatibility promise appeared. And although we have since learned of many other things we would like to change, we can't break existing programs, and we are fine with that. What does your work-life balance look like? There are lots of talks about "burn-outs" right now, and the epidemic situation does not help at all. Any hints from your 40-year journey for new generations of developers? Evrone: The best way to avoid burnout is to do something you truly enjoy in an environment that supports you. I've been very lucky in that regard through my whole career, but I realize not everyone is as fortunate. If you're feeling stressed by work, you should feel free to take a break or change direction, especially in our current situation. Rob: In hindsight, the popularity of many technologies is credited to so-called "killer apps" that made them popular. Can you name such a "killer app(s)" for the Go programming language and what do you think about such a "killer app" idea as a whole? Evrone: A few years ago, Danny Berkholz called Go "the emerging language of cloud infrastructure," and that is no accident. Go was designed by people working at Google to make it easier to write Google-relevant software, in particular network-resident servers. That's what we call "cloud" today. (Some of the motivation for the design is in my Splash keynote from 2012, Go at Google: Language Design in the Service of Software Engineering.) Rob: So although it was gratifying and important to see Docker, Kubernetes, and many other components of written in Go, it's perhaps not too surprising. Go has indeed become the language of cloud infrastructure. cloud computing What competition do you see for the Go programming language right now and in what area? What is your opinion about Rust with its "no-garbage-collection" ideas and compile-time guarantees? Evrone: Rust is an intriguing language and I watch its development with interest. Beyond that, I offer no opinion, as I said above. Rob: Go has just reached 70k stars on GitHub! How do you see different social activities like GitHub, Reddit, Twitter, offline and online conferences, webinars etc influence the language? Are they important for the language's success or they just reflect it? Evrone: The people we have met through conferences and social media have been a critical part of the development of Go and all its elements. Many, many contributors have affected the development in positive ways, including the original port to Windows and a number of non-x86 architectures, development of tools and libraries, thoughtful discussions of technical proposals, and much more. Rob: And it goes the other way, as the Go team reaches out to the community to start discussions, pose questions, and ask for help and guidance. One thing that I think is important is to engage with the community as one voice, to speak as a team rather than as individuals. A consistent message is more easily understood. How being the author of one of the popular programming languages has changed your life? Evrone: A correction: I am a co-author, not the author. Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer started the project with me, and many others contributed massively. So please don't single me out as "the author". Rob: To answer your question, Go has certainly raised my public profile and introduced me to a new and vibrant community but beyond that it hasn't had much effect. I've had a long career with other successes (and innumerable failures). Imagine that you have an opportunity to travel back in time and give only one piece of advice to your younger self, at around the time you’ve started to design the Go language spec. What advice would you give to yourself and your colleagues? Evrone: That's easy: Ignore the haters. Just listen to the voices that understand and share your goals; they're the ones to care about. Not everyone agrees with what you're doing, and that's OK. But those who engage in advancing what you're trying to do can be a fantastic source of ideas, energy, and inspiration. Rob: We will always be thankful to our passionate community. https://github.com/golang/go

5 Signs That You Are Indeed a CodeDay Enthusiast

The Case for Software Supply Chain Security. A couple of days ago, on Oct 22, 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission fined millions of dollars for mislabeling the risks of the SolarWinds attack as “hypothetical.” Four companies Unisys, Avaya, Check Point, and Mimecast were fined $7 million. In 2020, the SolarWinds attack affected major organizations when malware gave backdoor access to its Orion software. Supply chain attacks have only grown in both quantity and magnitude since then. Though companies continue to downplay the impact of Supply Chain security, on average, less than 50% of the code base in your organization is written by your employees. Supply chain security controls mitigate risks coming from the “external” software that ships with your product. The Cure to Make Robust Software Supply Chains. Google has invested heavily in insider risk since 2010 and has been building multi-layered security controls to defend against advanced attacks. Around 2019/20, Google Chrome started developing a framework that applies to a broader community, starting with Chromium. Collaboration across the company led to the formation of the supply chain levels for software artifacts aka SLSA. Since then, Google has donated this project to OpenSSF, one of the largest open-source software foundations. SLSA version 1.0 was launched earlier this year and it provides an incremental solution to gradually improve security posture from development to deployment for the software supply chain. SLSA Threat Model Let’s take a look into how malicious actors exploit weaknesses throughout the process right from build systems to the artifact distribution level. The SLSA threat model states that issues like inadequate code review, misconfigured build systems, and unverified third-party code-introduced risks, etc. can cause significant security breaches. The successful attacks on SolarWinds where the hackers injected malicious code into the build process require strong controls. Knowing your dependencies and preventing unilateral access remains crucial for ensuring malware can’t be inserted. Applicability of SLSA in Real World Scenarios There are three major use cases for SLSA, First Party, Open Source Projects, and Vendors. In First Party, since there is no need to transfer trust across organizational boundaries, this makes it the easiest use case. SLSA can be used entirely within an organization. In the case of Open Source Projects, SLSA uses a canonical source repository approach where users of open-source software need to only trust a handful of build platforms instead of trusting thousands of developers who have upload permissions to many packages. SLSA would simply reject an upload if it was not from a canonical source repository. And finally, for users of vendor-provided software, SLSA would require a vendor to be certified by a third-party auditor. This would make it easier for consumers to trust vendor software products. Also, provenance is the main aspect of using SLSA, it would provide traceability and verifiability of where the software originated. The goal is not just to prevent tampering but also to trace who was involved and where the exact origin of the software was. Since it facilitates transparency, companies can easily adapt to regulatory restrictions while ensuring that their business operations are sound. Hardening the Chain of Trust The core of SLSA is provenance, which documents the origin and security of artifacts. SLSA can pinpoint tampering or any other malicious behavior using cryptographic validation and automated attestation. Since it verifies that each step from creation to distribution of the software is indeed secure, the chain of trust is therefore solidified. The majority of well-secured development environments apply the principles of provenance including Google. One of the innovators of the SLSA framework at Google is Akash Mukherjee. He discusses how Chrome ensures verifiability in its builds in this article Chromium Chronicle #23. The article focuses on the fundamentals of the framework and the four pillars that we see today in SLSA. Meeting Government Mandates With SLSA Another advantage of SLSA compared to other security libraries is its ability to meet U.S. government regulations. The National Institute Of Standards and Technology aka NIST plays a crucial role in cybersecurity by creating frameworks, guidelines, etc. like the Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF). SLSA is able to help companies meet these requirements. Following this framework will also align companies with the Executive Order 14028 directive which has a higher standard for cybersecurity along the entire software supply chain. Also in highly regulated defense, healthcare, and finance industries, SLSA is reliable enough to be the security blueprint for organizations that can help generate evidence of compliance even when it touches critical cybersecurity concerns. The Future of SLSA as a Blueprint for Secure Software Development But this journey does not stop here; it continues evolving the industry. With the flexibility in its structure, SLSA allows organizations to enhance their security step by step while preparing for future threats. As SBOMs become central to software development, experts focus on securing development practices in general, “SBOMs can help lift security health from the status quo, but frameworks like Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts (SLSA) and Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF) must be used to improve security as you’re building new packages.”, Akash Mukherjee, an early developer of the SLSA framework in his recent post on RSA conference. By integrating the best practices from SLSA with development insights gleaned from resources such as Chromium Chronicle, an organization is well-equipped to design secure software. At its core, SLSA revolves around provenance, providing cryptographic assurances and compliance with regulatory requirements, making it an extremely important tool for securing the global software ecosystem.

How SLSA Can Secure Your Software Supply Chain

Picture this: you go to a protest these days, and you find a lot of people wearing white, bearded masks. Maybe the hacktivist group Anonymous comes to your mind. Maybe V for Vendetta. Maybe even the historical root, Guy Fawkes —a man who died over 400 years ago in old England. But do you know why are they all connected as a symbol of rebellion or even anarchism? Should you wear your own mask too? Well. Let’s explore this story in chronological order, shall we? If you must know it now, it includes a murder attempt plot, explosives, a dystopian world, and somehow ends up with modern online anarchism and protests worldwide. Cryptos have been in the mix too since they appeared in 2009. Old Historical Facts “Remember, remember, the 5th of November, Gunpowder, treason and plot.” This is an English folk rhyme that dates back to the 17th century and has firmly stayed in popular imagery ever since. You see, that century wasn’t catholic-friendly at all in England. In case you didn’t know, there was a thing called European Wars of Religion that went on for centuries. That was a complex historical event in which numerous realms and parties participated, so we’ll sum it up by saying that the English high powers preferred The Church of England (Anglicanism), a form of Christian Protestantism that was against the Church of Rome and the figure of the Pope. Instead, the English monarch became the Supreme Governor of the church instead of the Pope, and, eventually, they sought to erase Catholicism from England. As a consequence, harsh religious persecution was put in place. Catholics faced heavy restrictions on practicing their faith, prohibitions against holding public office, fines for not attending Anglican services, and occasional imprisonment or execution for those deemed traitors due to their loyalty to the Pope over the English monarch. In other words, that was the perfect recipe for a group of Catholic revolutionaries to design a plot to kill and replace the Protestant king and his court. The 5th of November A group of conspirators, led by Robert Catesby, sought to assassinate King James I and his government officials in a dramatic explosion by November 5, 1605. They rented a cellar beneath the parliament building and stocked it with 36 barrels of gunpowder, enough to cause massive destruction. The plan unraveled, however, when an anonymous letter, sent days before the event, warned a Catholic member of parliament to stay away from the building.This prompted a search, and just hours before the planned explosion, authorities found Guy Fawkes, one of Catesby’s associates, guarding the gunpowder and ready to light the wicks. Fawkes was arrested, tortured, and eventually executed, while most of the other conspirators were also caught and met similar fates. The event is known now as the Gunpowder Plot. Today, November 5th is celebrated as Guy Fawkes Night or Bonfire Night in the UK. People light bonfires, set off fireworks, and sometimes burn effigies of Guy Fawkes or other hated characters to commemorate the failure of the plot and the survival of King James I —who most English people actually liked back then, despite his anti-Catholic posture. Fictional Facts So, a little bit disappointing up until now? Let’s fast forward to the 19th century when fiction starts to meddle with the facts. The writer William Harrison Ainsworth published a three-volume romance novel called ‘Guy Fawkes’. This story, published between 1840 and 1841, described a made-up romance between Fawkes and Viviana Radcliffe, a new character, and narrated the journey of the Gunpowder Plot from the summer of 1605 to its tragic end. All while picturing Fawkes as a sort of anti-hero. It wouldn’t be the last time. That novel was popular in its time, but what would really hit our century would be the comic ‘V for Vendetta’ by Alan Moore and David Lloyd, first published in 1980. Lloyd, indeed, is the author of the Guy Fawkes mask design as we know it. You may also be familiar with the homonymous movie from 2006. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSA7mAHolAw&embedable=true They tell us a dystopian story set in a future Britain under a totalitarian regime. The story follows V, a mysterious vigilante who wears a Guy Fawkes mask and uses his skills to fight against the oppressive government. V’s ultimate goal is to awaken the people to the regime’s injustices and inspire them to reclaim their freedom, using acts of rebellion and symbolism to make his point. He ends up fulfilling the original Fawkes’ goal and blows up the parliament. The Guy Fawkes mask is central to V’s identity (always hidden otherwise) and symbolizes resistance against tyranny. Just as Fawkes once tried to overthrow a powerful government, V becomes a modern symbol of defiance, using the mask to rally people against oppression while protecting their identities. This symbolism has since been embraced worldwide by activists and movements advocating for freedom and justice. New Historical Facts The Guy Fawkes mask became a symbol of protest and defiance in the early 2000s, thanks largely to the online activist group Anonymous. Starting around 2008, members of Anonymous wore the mask during a series of global protests against the Church of Scientology, which they opposed due to its practices and aggressive control of information. The mask allowed activists to protect their identities while presenting a united front against what they saw as corruption and censorship. https://youtu.be/_ZgJ2bkyiTw?embedable=true In 2011, the mask gained even more visibility with the Occupy Wall Street movement, which protested economic inequality and corporate influence. The Occupy movement spread globally, with protesters in places like New York, London, and Tokyo donning the mask as a statement against social injustice. Julian Assange, a renowned cypherpunk and founder of WikiLeaks, also wore the mask publicly, aligning with the movement and its ideals of transparency and accountability. Since then, the Guy Fawkes mask has appeared in a range of protests worldwide, from Hong Kong’s pro-democracy demonstrations to anti-austerity marches across Europe. In addition, we must say that a wide lot of these protesters have learned to use cryptocurrencies to protect their funds and data. Today, the mask remains a powerful, recognizable symbol for those fighting for freedom and against government or corporate control, transcending borders and causes. A Mask Isn’t Enough Since the early days of protests by Anonymous and movements like Occupy Wall Street, the Guy Fawkes mask has allowed people to show solidarity while protecting their identities. However, in the current era of advanced surveillance and censorship, simply wearing a mask is no longer enough. According to Freedom House, “Global Internet freedom declined for the 14th consecutive year,” and “Free expression online was imperiled by severe prison terms and escalating violence.” Financial censorship is also a growing concern. In some countries, governments and institutions limit or freeze funds to silence dissent or restrict people’s access to their money. Cryptocurrencies and decentralized networks offer a way to push back. Due to their peer-to-peer nature, cryptocurrencies allow people to control their own funds and data without relying on central authorities. This means they can be used as tools for those fighting against inequality or authoritarianism, helping people keep their assets secure and enabling transactions even in restricted environments. Not all decentralized networks, however, are equally resistant to censorship. Blockchains can be censored and manipulated. Most of them still rely on “validators” or miners, leaving room for censorship and centralization. Obyte stands out as a powerful alternative: its Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) structure is truly decentralized, free from miners, “validators”, or any other middlemen, making it especially resistant to censorship and a good option for people seeking true autonomy.

Due to their peer-to-peer nature, cryptocurrencies allow people to control their own funds and data without relying on central authorities. Financial censorship Financial censorship This means they can be used as tools for those fighting against inequality or authoritarianism, helping people keep their assets secure and enabling transactions even in restricted environments. Not all decentralized networks, however, are equally resistant to censorship. Blockchains can be censored and manipulated . Most of them still rely on “validators” or miners, leaving room for censorship and centralization. Obyte stands out as a powerful alternative: its Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) structure is truly decentralized, free from miners, “validators”, or any other middlemen, making it especially resistant to censorship and a good option for people seeking true autonomy.

With just days until the outcome of the U.S. presidential race, Bitcoin enthusiasts across the world are wondering how a win for either Donald Trump or Kamala Harris will impact the cryptocurrency market's long-term fortunes. With Bitcoin surging to a new all-time high against several global currencies in the past few days - and with its U.S dollar valuation only missing an ATH by a mere $175 - the general outlook would appear to be positive. Some have speculated that the future of Bitcoin is assured regardless of which candidate assumes the presidency, and that neither Trump nor Harris will stem the rise of a digital currency that has seen its value increase by 142,538,880.54% in the past 14 years, as per data from CoinMarketCap. Let’s take a look at how Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have been addressing the topic of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in the lead-up to the election, and examine what a win for either candidate could mean for the future of the crypto market in general. Trump and Harris Come Round to Bitcoin? In recent years both Trump and Harris have expressed caution around the topic of cryptocurrencies. Trump initially claimed Bitcoin could eat into the U.S dollar’s dominance around the globe and drew attention to its use in illicit and illegal activities. Harris, meanwhile, appeared hesitant to grapple with the issue of digital currencies and remained fairly tight-lipped on the subject until recently. In the run-up to the election, however, both candidates have changed their views on the topic, with Trump in particular appearing to become an eager adoptee of the use of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Donald Trump’s campaign has been fuelled in part by digital currencies after he began accepting donations in the form of Bitcoin, Ether, Dogecoin, and Solana, and other cryptocurrencies. Indeed, Donald Trump’s perception as the most pro-crypto candidate of the two has been helped by comments made in the past week in which Trump floated the possibility of removing the imposition of capital gains tax on Bitcoin usage. Trump told podcaster Joe Rogan: “They have them paying tax on crypto and I don't think that's right. Bitcoin is money and you have to pay capital gains tax if you use it to buy a coffee? I was talking with a friend and he said 'it really shouldn't be taxed' and I agree. Maybe we get rid of taxes on crypto and replace it with tariffs,” said Trump. Trump declared that only cryptocurrencies made in the USA should be subject to the removal of tax and that coins created in other countries - particularly China - should still have tariffs imposed. Kamala Harris has not expressed such clear support for the cryptocurrency market, however she has begun to reach out to major cryptocurrency firms like Coinbase and Ripple, and has called for greater regulatory oversight of the crypto market. While Harris’ comments have been regarded as less positive than Trump’s, they do suggest she may be willing to work alongside the industry to clear up regulatory uncertainties and ensure a safer environment for investors - a stance that still appears somewhat pro-crypto. How a Trump Win Could Affect Bitcoin The general perception is that a win for Trump is a win for Bitcoin. Indeed, some observers claim that Bitcoin’s resurgence over the course of the past few months is an indicator that Trump has already won.MannaBitcoin and HandsFreeBTC founder, Adam Simecka, on X. https://x.com/AdamSimecka/status/1851090258768572873?embedable=true The value of BTC increased by 21% in the past 30 days, and 37% in the past three months, and some expect it to record a new all-time high against the U.S dollar regardless of the outcome of the U.S election. That said, a Trump win would send strong signals to cryptocurrency investors worldwide and would spur both institutional and retail adoption, facilitating growth for Bitcoin and DeFi initiatives through a relaxation of both taxation and regulation. Private wealth management firm, Bernstein, told CNBC that a win for Trump could see the value of Bitcoin top $80,000. Youwei Yang, chief economist at Bit Mining, was even more optimistic, and recently forecasted a potential Bitcoin price of $135,000 if Trump assumes the presidency. According to Yang, a Harris win would still see Bitcoin reach a price of $120,000. Trump has also vowed to make the U.S the world leader in Bitcoin mining and has even floated the idea of the U.S government holding Bitcoin as a reserve currency. How a Harris Win Could Affect Bitcoin Kamala Harris’ recent focus on regulatory oversight suggests that despite her apparent caution, she recognises that crypto is here to stay. Harris told a gathering of fundraisers in September: “We will encourage innovative technologies like AI and digital assets while protecting our consumers and investors,” said Harris, as reported by Bloomberg. While Harris hasn’t voiced any decidedly anti-crypto opinions, the general perception is that a Harris win would mean slower growth for Bitcoin in the short-term as the focus shifts towards stronger regulation. The market’s reaction to a Harris win could be highly reflexive, and could result in a sharp dip in the value of Bitcoin in the short-term. Such a sharp dip could send reverberations throughout the market, potentially creating a large-scale selloff where traders collectively seek to drop a rapidly declining asset, before buying in again when they perceive the dip to be over. Bitcoin’s Future With the election result just days away and Bitcoin’s immediate future potentially in the balance, Donald Trump made reference to Bitcoin’s past. On Oct. 31, Trump wrote on X: https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1852033244729860397?embedable=true “I would like to wish our great Bitcoiners a Happy 16th Anniversary of Satoshi’s White Paper. We will end Kamala’s war on crypto, & Bitcoin will be MADE IN THE USA! VOTE TRUMP!” wrote Trump, referencing the 16th anniversary of the publication of the Bitcoin whitepaper. Rarely in history have the fortunes of an entire asset-class been so dependent on the outcome of a presidential race, and the furore surrounding Bitcoin in the run-up to the election is testament to how deeply ingrained the idea of autonomous digital currency is in the minds of voters. Bitcoiners across the globe will be eagerly awaiting the outcome of the election in the next week. While neither outcome may necessarily spell doom for Bitcoin’s long-term future, the impact of either candidate assuming the presidency is certain to produce fireworks for the cryptocurrency market in the short-term.
