Makkiya Jawed: At The Intersection of Technology and Medicine

The intersection between technology and medicine is perhaps one of the most important junctions of our time, and, in a world where access is king, many people—in fact, entire countries—can be left behind in the dust. That’s where Makkiya Jawed comes in as the director of social enterprise for Sehat Kahani in Pakistan.

The tech wiz joined forces with two doctors who launched the health tech enterprise, which circumvents Pakistan’s tradition of women having to choose family or career. It also caters to populations often overlooked by established medical communities.

“Sehat Kahani is a tele-health platform that aims to democratize healthcare via nurse-assisted video consultations by ensuring quick access, prevention and efficiency for healthcare,” Jawed explained.

Dr. Sara Saeed Khurram and Dr. Iffat Zafar, the co-founders of Sehat Kahani, both encountered the socio-cultural barriers to healthcare, but instead of giving up, they used their medical background to “democratize healthcare by building an all-female health provider network to deliver quality healthcare,” Jawed said. “They are the people who have taught me the power of team work and the importance of patience and dedication…In all honesty, whatever I have learned, they have had a major role to play in it. And the best thing is, they Continue reading

Some notes on memcached DDoS

I thought I'd write up some notes on the memcached DDoS. Specifically, I describe how many I found scanning the Internet with masscan, and how to use masscan as a killswitch to neuter the worst of the attacks.

Why a bare-metal cloud provider might be just what you need

Cloud services, particularly infrastructure- and platform-as-a-service, are well established, but in some cases customers demand more — more control, more access to hardware, more performance, and the ability to pick their own operating environment.In those cases, they are looking to bare-metal services, a niche that is growing quickly.As the name implies, bare metal means no software, just CPUs, memory, and storage. Customers provide all of the software from the operating system on up. That means a dedicated CPU, full access to the hardware, and freedom to run custom operating systems.According to a 2016 Markets and Markets report, the bare-metal cloud market is expected to grow from $871.8 million in 2016 to $4.7 billion in 2021, at an estimated compound annual growth rate of 40.1 percent.To read this article in full, please click here

VMware tackles complexity of multi-cloud environments

VMware has expanded its portfolio of cloud tools to help enterprises improve the manageability of their public cloud and on-premises environments. At the same time, VMware announced the first global expansion of VMware Cloud on AWS, its joint hybrid cloud service with Amazon Web Services.Complexity is on the rise for enterprises as they expand their use of cloud computing – which often is not limited to a single cloud provider. VMware estimates that nearly two-thirds of companies will use two or more cloud service providers in addition to their on-premises data centers.To read this article in full, please click here

New tech harvests electricity out of thin air

Ambient temperature changes, which take place natively in the environment, could power Internet of Things (IoT) sensors indefinitely, say researchers.The remarkable concept, which the inventors at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) call thermal resonating, is highly flexible — unlike previous scientific attempts at developing similar things.It essentially harvests electricity out of thin air, the group claims. No batteries or solar panel-requiring sunlight is needed.To read this article in full, please click here

Before Commenting on Someone Mentioning RFC1925 ;)

Some of my readers got annoyed when I mentioned Google’s BeyondCorp and RFC 1925 in the same sentence (to be perfectly clear, I had Rule#11 in mind). I totally understand that sentiment – reading the reactions from industry press it seems to be the best thing that happened to Enterprise IT in decades.

Let me explain in simple terms why I think it’s not such a big deal and definitely not something new, let alone revolutionary.

The Power of Women to Change the World: A message from our CEO on International Women’s Day

Today is International Women’s Day, with the goal to empower women in all settings. This year, the Internet Society is celebrating by shining a light on the women who are shaping the Internet, including our own CEO, Kathy Brown. She shared her thoughts how we can ensure that all women have a place at the table in our increasingly-connected world.

The Internet Society: Who are the women who have inspired you throughout your career? How have they inspired you?

Kathy Brown: It is sometimes seen as cliché to point to the women who raised you as your first inspiration — but for many of us, and for me, I believe it is nevertheless true that our mothers are the first fuel for our activism. My mother was a “community organizer” in the 1960’s War on Poverty in the U.S. She was an activist in rural, upstate New York — organizing communities to alleviate poverty. She was a mover and a doer; she was fearless and never yielding to powerful forces who either did not see or would not see the effects of poverty on individuals and families. Having grown up with a woman with that kind Continue reading

Spinning the Bottleneck for Data, AI, Analytics and Cloud

High performance computing experts came together recently at Stanford for their annual HPC Advisory Council Meeting to share strategies after what has been an interesting year in supercomputing thus far. 

As always, there was a vast amount of material covering everything from interconnects to containerized compute. In the midst of this, The Next Platform noted an obvious and critical thread over the two days–how to best map infrastructure to software in order to reduce “computational back pressure” associated with new “data heavy” AI workloads.

In the “real world” back pressure results from a bottleneck as opposed to desired …

Spinning the Bottleneck for Data, AI, Analytics and Cloud was written by James Cuff at The Next Platform.

Small Giants

I’m sure you’ve all come across the phrase “standing on the shoulders of giants”. Whilst it’s easy to remember or glibly repeat, it’s also easy to forget or ignore the serious message being delivered by those words. To me, the meaning is legion; something as close and personal as my parent’s care (well, of one […]

Worth Reading: Finding shared IP address

…we developed a project to identify IPv4 addresses shared simultaneously by many users — we call such addresses ‘gateway’ addresses— and understand the nature of the shared address, that is if they are being used as a company/campus proxy, a CGN, or public hotspot. —Ramakrishna Padmanabhan @APNIC
