Tech talent software Developers in Africa Apply for Mark Zuckerbergs Andela Talent Hunt

Brilliance is evenly distributed; opportunity is not

About Andela 

Andela provides companies with access to the top 1% of global tech talent. They identify high-potential developers on the African continent, shape them into world-class technical leaders, and pair them with companies as full-time, distributed team members.From Udacity to Microsoft, companies at all stages have partnered with Andela to accelerate their product roadmaps while minimizing time spent interviewing, on-boarding, and training new hires.

According to Mark Zuckerberg on His Facebook Page, 

As part of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Priscilla and I are investing in an education company called Andela.

We live in a world where talent is evenly distributed, but opportunity is not. Andelas mission is to close that gap.

I was lucky to be born in a wealthy country where I had access to computers and the internet. If I had been born somewhere else, Im not sure I would have been able to start Facebook -- or at least it would have taken a lot longer and been more difficult.

The gap between talent and opportunity is among the greatest in Africa. Six out of every ten Africans are under the age of 35 -- and in some places, more than half of them are out of work.

Andela is working to unlock that potential by finding and training top tech talent in Africa. After a six-month software development program, Andela Fellows work remotely for Fortune 500 companies and startups around the world. Companies get access to great developers, and developers in Africa get the opportunity to use their skills and support their communities.

Priscilla and I believe in supporting innovative models of learning wherever they are around the world -- and what Andela is doing is pretty amazing. Check out andela.com to learn more.

Acer Iconia w700 slow after installing Windows 8.1

Hey All,

Is anyone else having troubles with Windows 8.1 on their w700? Ever since installing the upgrade my computer has been running _sooo slowww_.ÿ

It chunks all the time.
From the task manager I can see that its the SDD is constantly reading or writing stuff.
As far as I can tell, its only the "system" that is doing it, not any software that Ive installed.

Starting up and shutting down is much slower too.
When I hit the Acer Power Button in the task bar I have to wait 5-10s for the options to appear.
It used to be instantaneous.

The touch screen now stops working when Im using Chrome too.
Huge pain in the butt.

Anyone?

Hi Don,
Thanks for the information, but I have already done all of the things you mentioned.
I even re-registered all the dll files for IE but that did not seem to work.
My guess would be some sort of a virus that was not being detected by any of the antivirus scanners.
We wiped the OS partition completely and then launched the Acer eRecovery (Alt + F10) tool.
The system is now back up and running with no issues.
Thanks anyways!

US government pushed tech firms to hand over source code

Obtaining a companys source code makes it radically easier to find security flaws and vulnerabilities for surveillance and intelligence-gathering operations.

The US courthouse in Washington DC which houses the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which authorizes the governments surveillance operations. 

NEW YORK -- The US government has made numerous attempts to obtain source code from tech companies in an effort to find security flaws that could be used for surveillance or investigations.

The government has demanded source code in civil cases filed under seal but also by seeking clandestine rulings authorized under the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), a person with direct knowledge of these demands told ZDNet. Were not naming the person as they relayed information that is likely classified.

With these hearings held in secret and away from the public gaze, the person said that the tech companies hit by these demands are losing "most of the time."

When asked, a spokesperson for the Justice Dept. acknowledged that the department has demanded source code and private encryption keys before. In a recent filing against Apple, the government cited a 2013 case where it won a court order demanding that Lavabit, an encrypted email provider said to have been used by whistleblower Edward Snowden, must turn over its source code and private keys. The Justice Dept. used that same filing to imply it would, in a similar effort, demand Apples source code and private keys in its ongoing case in an effort to compel the companys help by unlocking an iPhone used by the San Bernardino shooter.

Asked whether the Justice Dept. would demand source code in the future, the spokesperson declined to comment.

Its not uncommon for tech companies to refer to their source code as the "crown jewel" of their business. The highly sensitive code can reveal future products and services. Source code can also be used to find security vulnerabilities and weaknesses that government agencies could use to conduct surveillance or collect evidence as part of ongoing investigations.

Given to a rival or an unauthorized source, the damage can be incalculable.

We contacted more than a dozen tech companies in the Fortune 500. Unsurprisingly, none would say on the record if they had ever received such a request or demand from the government.

Cisco said in an emailed statement: "We have not and we will not hand over source code to any customers, especially governments."

IBM referred to a 2014 statement saying that the company does not provide "software source code or encryption keys to the NSA or any other government agency for the purpose of accessing client data." A spokesperson confirmed that the statement is still valid, but did not comment further on whether source code had been handed over to a government agency for any other reason.

Microsoft, Juniper Networks, and Seagate declined to comment.

Dell and EMC did not comment at the time of publication. Lenovo, Micron, Oracle, Texas Instruments, and Western Digital did not respond to requests for comment. (If this changes, we will provide updates.)

Apples software chief Craig Federighi said in a sworn court declaration this week alongside the companys latest bid to dismiss the governments claims in the San Bernardino case that Apple has never revealed its source code to any government.

"Apple has also not provided any government with its proprietary iOS source code," wrote Federighi.

"While governmental agencies in various countries, including the United States, perform regulatory reviews of new iPhone releases, all that Apple provides in those circumstances is an unmodified iPhone device," he said.

The declaration was in part to allay fears (and the US governments claims) that it had modified iPhone software to agree to Chinas security checks, which include turning over source code to its inspectors.

But even senior tech executives may not know if their source code or proprietary technology had been turned over to the government, particularly if the order came from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC).

The secretive Washington DC-based court, created in 1979 to oversee the governments surveillance warrants, has authorized more than 99 percent of all surveillance requests. The court has broad-sweeping powers to force companies to turn over customer data via clandestine surveillance programs and authorize US intelligence agencies to record an entire foreign countrys phone calls, as well as conduct tailored hacking operations on high-value targets.

FISA orders are generally served to a companys general counsel, or a "custodian of records" within the legal department. (Smaller companies that cant afford their own legal departments often outsource their compliance to third-party companies.) These orders are understood to be typically for records or customer data.

These orders are so highly classified that simply acknowledging an orders existence is illegal, even a companys chief executive or members of the board may not be told. Only those who are necessary to execute the order would know, and would be subject to the same secrecy provisions.

Given that Federighi heads the division, it would be almost impossible to keep from him the existence of a FISA order demanding the companys source code.

It would not be the first time that the US government has reportedly used proprietary code and technology from American companies to further its surveillance efforts.

Top secret NSA documents leaked by whistleblower Edward Snowden, reported in German magazine Der Spiegel in late-2013, have suggested some hardware and software makers were compelled to hand over source code to assist in government surveillance.

The NSAs catalog of implants and software backdoors suggest that some companies, including Dell, Huawei, and Juniper -- which was publicly linked to an "unauthorized" backdoor -- had their servers and firewall products targeted and attacked through various exploits. Other exploits were able to infiltrate firmware of hard drives manufactured by Western Digital, Seagate, Maxtor, and Samsung.

Last year, antivirus maker and security firm Kaspersky later found evidence that the NSA had obtained source code from a number of prominent hard drive makers -- a claim the NSA denied -- to quietly install software used to eavesdrop on the majority of the worlds computers.

"There is zero chance that someone could rewrite the [hard drive] operating system using public information," said one of the researchers.

Tech privacy and security A debate we need to have Naked CIO

Its time to think hard about the attitudes of technology companies towards privacy and security.

Apple has announced it is fighting a court order in the US which would allow authorities to gain access to the contents of an iPhone as part of a terrorist investigation.

It amazes me that technology companies can put in place encryption that prevent these type of investigations ? yet under similar circumstances a warrant can allow authorities access to homes, cars and personal effects without condition or compromise.

But this incident is just one of many that involves tech companies and privacy.

And the flip side is that so many other tech companies cite the importance of privacy and security when it suits them but yet collect, aggregate, sell, decipher and use personal data to forward their own strategic and financial goals.

They track location, usage behavior, habits and desires in order to benefit advertisers and support their own business and application development. Their privacy policies even mitigate their liability from the collection and security of this data and in some cases limit their responsibility for securing customer information.

The fact is these tech companies survive and grow on disseminating personal information where is suits them, yet seem to want to be community activists when it doesnt.

They can achieve this through slick PR campaigns around encryption and fighting authorities on information disclosure ? to offset the multiple legal battles in European courts and beyond that deal with customer privacy.

Years ago at a symposium a question was posed when Google was in its formative stages. Do you fear Google? It was an interesting question with even more interesting answers. I stood up and said Yes, because the moment you dont fear them you could regret it. By fearing them you recognize their ability to be too big and too influential within the fabric of our lives.

Regardless of your geopolitical opinions these are fundamental question that needs to be asked. Are we now at the point where we have allowed these companies to own too much of our data without the recourse to reign them in?

As IT leaders within organizations that invariably collect information it is our duty to ask those questions of ourselves, too.

Information is valuable yet we need to be able to balance the need to understand our customers better with the basics of protecting their privacy.

At what point do we cross the line between collecting information to better inform decisions on business needs, and storing and analyzing data on individuals that compromises their understanding of what is appropriate?
