The gamification talk currently going on is painting a very effective picture of China basically taking the most evil position possible with technology.

There was a extra credit episode on that. Yes, that is purest evil. The sort that laughs alone, at night in front of a mirror, because even other evil shuns such company.

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…

The Inside IME talk [3] was quite disappointing :(

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Usually you'll have to get a ticket a month in advance. I'm just speculating, but the conference already has a lot of attendees and maybe doesn't feel it gets better with more. And word of mouth seems to work pretty well.. That said: https://tickets.events.ccc.de/34c3/

Yeah, if they're already oversubscribed it makes sense that bringing more people in would have zero benefit for them (unless they wanted to raise the price). Thanks for the link!

The minimum ticket price is does not cover costs, but is available so everyone can come. Tickets are also sold at cost-covering level and on a donation basis.

Almost all work is done by the participants (I think toilet cleaners are paid, but that's it) and there is very little sponsoring, so it works out. Not sure what more money would help with.
