Notes from Coed:Ethics conference, London, 13 July 2018

Cori Crider - "When data kills" / Weaponised AI

• Imam Salem bin Ali Jaber preached in Yemen against Islamic extremism; guest at a wedding of relative; hit by a US Hellfire missile fired from a drone. Relative Faisal made contact with Cori, went to Washington DC. No explanation ever made by government (although compensation was paid).
• Decision-making process behind the attack not known exactly. But there is significant evidence that such attacks serve to further radicalise people; attack results in ~3x more new recruits than extremists killed by attack.
• Most drone attacks are not on named individuals, but rather "signature strikes" — a euphemism for killing people the military doesn't even know, but who match a certain behavioural pattern (perhaps based on metadata — Hayden: "we kill people based on metadata"
• Skynet (known through Snowden relevations): use machine learning to try to find courier

With the introduction of GitHub's Squash and Merge feature, this has become less prevelant, however it's still useful in scenarios where GitHub's interface is unavailable.

Let's talk through two ways to do a squash and merge on the command line.

Take 1: Interactive Rebase

When to use it

• When you have not merged main into your feature branch
• There are no merge conflicts

class TTLMap {
  constructor(TTL) {
    this.ttl = TTL;
    this.timeoutData = {};
    this.data = new Map();
  }

  _clearTimeout(key) {
    clearTimeout(this.timeoutData[key]);
    delete this.timeoutData[key];

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
const cheerio = require('cheerio');

async function run() {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto('https://news.ycombinator.com');

  let content = await page.content();
  var $ = cheerio.load(content);
