Welcome friends and fans!

This week we go down the rabbithole with Russell Mohr of MobileIron as we talk about the security implications for 5G. The new standard unleashed upon the American consumer (but more importantly on the commercial market) is changing mobile communication and connectedness.

About the guest...

Russell Mohr is an expert in 5G and mobile technology, with a wide breadth of expertise in other areas as well. Apparently during the early part of the interview, he was attacked by a dog that tried to eat him (I may be guessing, but that's what it sounded like).

This week, in our final (for real this time) episode recorded LIVE from Enfuse Conference 2019, courtesy of OpenText, we chat with Brian Chidester. It's a fascinating conversation about what the IoT world can (and is) do for law enforcement and government ... think smart cities + Cops.

This week on #DtSR (live from Las Vegas, Enfuse 2019 Conference) Rafal chats with Nick Patience of 451 Group. Nick has some expertise in ML and provides context and content that is badly needed to dispel the crazy marketing hype out there.

• We think Nick insulted machines by calling their learning potentially "shallow" (haha)
• Nick gives us the retail applications of machine learning - grocery stores and similar things
• Nick talks about "automating the mundane vs automating the complex" as problem spaces where ML is applicable
• Nick explains ML is just software - but it's different from other software
