Talk comments
This was a fantastic talk, well delivered and informative. Being in media myself it was really fascinating to see the solutions that a company of AOL's scale is building to solve problems that we also face (even on a much smaller scale)
Brilliant. Lighthearted and humorous, which made it more accessible for newcomers. Started off easy and introduced more advanced concepts as it went through, which was great. Live demos were useful to see how it all works in practice. Well done!
Excellent articulate talk rich with live demos. This was a very basic talk but that was clear from the outset and even after several years of using step debugging techniques I still learned about new tricks.
Great slides, good humour. Perfect broad coverage without going needlessly into detail. Kitties!
This talk was depressing, terrifying, and inspirational all at once. I really enjoyed the statistics and real-world information. I'm glad that some practical suggestions were made during the talk and definitely have some work to do when I get home. The speaker had a calm speaking manner with nicely punctuated jokes to keep things light. My only suggestion for this talk would be to lighten up with the jokes about specific technologies. It was fine during the slides that showed stats to support those light-hearted jokes, but calling out specific technologies at other points in the talk seems unnecessary as they all have room for improvement. Overall, an excellent talk about the current state of security, how we got here, and what steps we can take to start improving things.
This talk had excellent slides that weren't just full of text to read. The speaker's style was conversational, professional, and very easy to follow while being entertaining to listen to. My only suggestion would be to highlight the final conclusion a bit more. It seemed like the last two slides were very rushed and then the talk was done, and the conclusion of the talk is really an excellent point that deserves a bit more oomph. All in all, an excellent keynote and a wonderful speaker.
Aggressively positive is a really good thing & I love any speaker that has favourite words. I found the style very flowing and engaging. It was also good to hear references to those who might see the presentation on the video after the event - it's a good reminder.
I was shocked how much I identified with the content so I'll be looking into it further.
Awesome presentation, great examples, funny, only good stuff. Just great :)
Really fun, really helpful, really reassuring. Loved the honesty and the cute pictures.
A small part of the talk sounded a bit contradictory to me though: visible minorities are worse affected because they are looking at people who don't look like them vs we're more affected by social media because we are looking at people more like us.
On point. Very cool, funny, and informative talk!
