Big History

Computer fraud. Statistics show that more than fifty percent of the fraud attempted in this country comes through out computers. Whether it's emails or website, your computer can be a valuable tool and a source of information for you...and for scam artists. Chuck Davis is a Computer Forensics expert at Harrisburg University and a trusted expert we've talked to several times on Smart Talk. He'll give us some insight into who is behind these scams and why they may come after you.

In our second half hour, we'll talk about something that is near an dear to every consumer--getting a fair product at fair price. Easier said than done. When you buy something in a store and pay for it at the checkout counter, do you check the receipt? Were you charged the right amount? did you pay the right amount of sales tax?

How about that bag of potato chips, roll of toilet paper or container of laundry detergent--are you getting the same amount of product that you did the last time you purchased it?

There is no doubt about it--in many cases you are not getting what you paid for in the past. Consumer Advocate Mary Bach of AARP will join us to talk about product downsizing and getting what you pay for at the register.

SDS 005 : Computer Forensics, Fraud Analytics And Knowing When To Take A Break With Dmitry Korneev

Throughout history, spirituality has been used to interpret perceptual differences that science could not explain. Beginning with Hildegard von Bingen – a 12th-century nun, composer, proto-scientist and mystic – science communicator Rachel Williams will discuss visions, ecstatic experiences, trance states and the neurological disorders that can cause them. 

This talk was given on 1 December 2017 as part of our Friday Late Spectacular: Your Reality is Broken, an event conceived and curated by MAS Productions.

Perception is fundamental to who we are and how we experience life. But how much can we actually trust our senses? A scientific, philosophical and creative approach to this question will invite you on a journey into your inner and outer experiences of the world.

Illuminating visions with Rachel Williams

In a recent episode of the O’Reilly Media Podcast, we spoke with George Miranda about the importance of service mesh technology in creating reliable distributed systems. As discussed in the new report The Service Mesh: Resilient Service-to-Service Communication for Cloud Applications, service mesh technology has emerged as a popular tool for companies looking to build cloud-native applications that are reliable and secure.

During the podcast, we discussed the problems a service mesh infrastructure solves and the service mesh features you’ll find most valuable. We also talked about how to choose the right service mesh for your organization, the challenges involved in getting it deployed to production, and the best ways for getting started with a service mesh.

In this episode of the O’Reilly Media Podcast, Rachel Roumeliotis, VP of content strategy at O’Reilly, sat down with Daniel Krook, IBM developer advocate. They discussed how developers across industries can participate in the Call for Code initiative, the benefits of the program, support from its charitable partners—United Nations Human Rights and the American Red Cross—and the positive impacts IBM hopes to achieve by investing in Call for Code.

At Google’s 2019 Cloud Next conference, I sat down with Stephen Thorne, site reliability engineer on Google’s customer reliability engineering team and co-author of "The Site Reliability Workbook," to talk about how organizations, both large and small, can use SRE to reduce operational costs, improve reliability, and create productive cross-functional teams.

How to Get Started With Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)

In this interview, Tim Craig and fellow Googler Gustavo Franco, a site reliability engineer (SRE), discuss the wide range of events that qualify as “incidents;” the need for a conscious, robust, and well-defined process for understanding them; the role of training; and how to get buy-in from management so you can spread incident response training throughout an organization.

In episode six, Just Science interviews Barbara Guttman from the National Institute of Standards and Technology about the first large-scale black box study to test the accuracy of computer and mobile phone forensics.

In forensic science, black box studies are used to measure the reliability of methods and techniques that rely on human interpretation. Barbara Guttman and her team at NIST are working to measure the overall competency of the digital forensics community at large by releasing an open-enrollment online test available to interested forensic scientists. Listen along as she discusses the parameters of the test, the expected results, and the value of the study in this episode of Just Science. 

This season is funded by the National Institute of Justice’s Forensic Technology Center of Excellence.

O'Reilly Media spreads the knowledge of innovators. At O’Reilly, a big part of our business is paying attention to what’s new and interesting in the world of technology. We have a pretty good record at having anticipated some of the big technology developments in recent history. For instance, we launched the first commercial Web site, GNN, in 1993; we organized the meeting at which the term “open source” was first adopted; we were early investors in Blogger, which helped launch the blogging revolution; and more recently, our Web 2.0 conference launched a world-wide meme. We call this predictive sense the “O’Reilly Radar.” And while we’re certainly not always right, we are, at least, good at making interesting guesses.

Our methodology is simple: we draw from the wisdom of the alpha geeks in our midst, paying attention to what’s interesting to them, amplifying these weak signals, and seeing where they fit into the innovation ecology. Add to that the original research conducted by our Research team, and you start to get a good picture of what the technology world is thinking about.
