> paying shareholders anything at all is in direct conflict with paying salaries to workers Paying workers anything at all is in direct conflict with generating shareholder value. Key is "long term". If you want to maximize long term salaries, you must pay a decent return to equity.

No, the difference is that you need to pay salaries in order for company to continue operating. If you don't, the employees will just quit. On the other hand, there's absolutely no need to pay anything to shareholders for a company to operate, other than legal obligation. Shareholders going on strike makes absolutely no difference for the company.

you need to get funding in order for company to continue operating. If you don't pay a decent return for the funding, you just won't get funded.

This applies only to companies that do not require capital to operate/grow.

Would it be possible that maybe for next year they buy everyone much better microphones? You can barely hear what the speakers are saying.

Haven't listen to the live stream yet but in generall the audio is quite good. Also most/all of the talks will get subtitles.

My question is how can the "advice" in CCC and other open investigations into state of the tech world be distilled into actionable things for "normal" techies?

Don't do this. Most/ often enough the main difference between people is small.

In this case 'someone who is going to the 34c3' vs. 'someone who is not'.

Quite similiar 'someone who is doing a talk' vs. 'someone is not doing one'

A very good set of talks at the congress this year. There's something for everyone in there. Can't wait to watch the streams. Hope they are persisted.

Raw dumps of the streams are usually uploaded within a few hours. Cleaned up versions will show up over the next couple of days.

I don't have much time this year, but the two talks I intend to watch are Squeezing a key through a carry bit by Filippo Valsorda [1] and LatticeHacks by Tanja Lange, Nadia Heninger and djb[2]. EDIT: Just saw that there is a talk by Maxim Goryachy and Mark Ermolov: Inside Intel Management Engine [3], can't miss that one. [1] https://events.ccc.de/congress/2017/Fahrplan/events/9021.htm... [2] https://events.ccc.de/con…

Speaker of the first one here :) thanks!

There’s a stream recording here while we wait for the video release: http://streaming.media.ccc.de/34c3/relive/9021

Let me know if anyone has questions.

Does anyone know how you can actually attend? The talks look interesting and I'd like to look into going next year, but I spent a few minutes online and on their site, blog and wiki, and couldn't even find where the damn thing is , let alone a ticket website! It's like they don't want people discovering it, I can't figure out why they don't have a more accessible marketing website.

CCC is so heavily oversubscribed that there is an insane race every year when tickets are released, usually involving downtime for the ticketing app. If finding the app itself already presents too much effort for you (hint: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ccc%20tickets ), it's unlikely you'll succeed in acquiring a ticket. Your best bet is to source one through some affiliated group, if you know of one, otherwise s…

I attended a few years ago (28C3). Had a great time and gave my first (unofficial) talk ever there. Found people to be supportive and chill; maybe it had to do with the fact that I was rather young at the time. I don't know.

That said, it is frustrating that they don't release the schedule weeks ahead. I was seriously thinking about attending but did not go through because conferences these days tend to have far less technical content than they used to.

Well, except that shareholders are the ones who decide what to pay themselves, because it's their company?
