Trump wins ! So what next? (For Africa)

Expect a few deportations

This was a great divider between Hillary and Trump. When the guy started his bid for the white house- his ‘signature policy’ was against immigrants who have entered illegally. So if there some of us who are in the states under dodgy circumstances- we gotta get our act up together.

The sooner, the better, like seriously guys- it was featured prominently on his campaign website. Critics, of course blasted him for this. Trump conceded and was now advocating temporarily banning immigration “from regions that export terrorism and where safe vetting cannot presently be ensured.” That being said.. he did say he planned to set up a ‘deportation force’. So he might have softened, but he hasn’t ruled out mass deportation.

Any country that refuses to accept its aliens – would risk losing the US Visa altogether. Expect tougher immigration laws.

Libya might get some peace.. Or not

The Republican billionaire has said he would recruit NATO to invade strongholds in the Middle East to “knock the hell out of ISIS” and has regularly repeated his belief that Mrs Clinton’s actions as Secretary of State allowed the terror group to grow.

Mr Trump originally promised a ban on Muslim immigration into the US in response to the San Bernadino terror attack in December 2015.

But he later refined his stance and proposed a policy of “extreme vetting” to combat any future terrorism on his watch.

Considering that Libya is a ISIS stronghold at the moment- they might actually get some relief from there. Big word MIGHT.

African businessmen in America might feel the pinch

The middle class families with two children has a promise they can smile about 35% tax reduction. It is worthy to note that business rate might also get a 20% reduction. Trump’s economic plan will put Americans into 3 tax brackets (from the current 7).

The White House hopeful has promised a 35 per cent reduction in tax for middle-class families with two children.

That being said- he did promise to make it harder for foreign businesses to operate and his policies favored the American industries sector. So in this regard, the major victim of that might be China.

Overally, it might not be as bad as media might speculate.

Django & Firebase - A marriage of awesomeness

Requirements 1) Django (obviously) 2) Pyrebase (pip install pyrebase, you know the drill) So to give a better appreciation- I will first show you the HTML way then I'll proceed to show you how its done in Python. METHOD 1 : The HTML way Then you need to go to the firebase console. To setup a new project. After that you will see a web setup and you select that. Once selected you will see the config. It should be similar to this : Now that you have configured firebase, we now need to select the components which will be needed. depending on what you want for your app- you can now select the modules that you need. For us today, we will do the login authentication. Make sure you include firebase app first, so this is my screen: METHOD 2: Enter Python Open your dev environment and create a file named pyrebase_settings within your django app folder. In it, you will have the following: Now, lets go to views.py!

PRG, PRF, PRP in Cryptography - What are they?

So I have been reading up on my cryptography and I figured I should give out a brief lesson on these three amazing concepts What are they ? a) PRG (Pseudo Random Generator) You probably know the difference between stream and block cipher. One of the main differences between them is key size. Stream ciphers require the key to be of equal length of greater than the plaintext , whereas Block Ciphers take a key smaller than the PT and is then expanded. This is the PRG The PRG expands the seed Considerations: Stream Ciphers base on Perfect Secrecy whereas Block Ciphers base on Semantic Security b) PRF (Pseudo Random Function) Lets share a secret- imagine something- you want to authenticate yourself with me by proving that you know a secret that we both share. Here's a possible option i) Possible Option 1: PRNGs We both seed a PRNG with the shared secret, I pick and then send you some random number i. You then have to prove that you know the s...

Deploy Django app online for free!

So after a number of lines of code, brilliance and dreaming. Your next dream is for the world to see. Of course you can walk around with your computer and doing a 'manage.py runserver' But cumon guys, lets embrace the cloud. Not like this guy though! I choose to deploy on PythonAnywhere . So you ask why? 1) Free amazing support - You actually talk to a live human ! 2) Easy - Very easy 3) Affordable - As you scale up, it gets way better! So by now I assume you are already on a version control system (So I will not waste much energy on that one). Maybe Ill someday write on my two favs Github and Bitbucket . STEP 1: Create an account on pythonanywhere. Kindly note that your username will be included in your apps url. So it will be like : " yourUsername .pythonanywhere.com" STEP 2: Select other and set a bash console. STEP 3: Push your code from version control This will push from (in my example) github to your pythonanywhere. You...
