On: Ask HN: I'm looking for a hacking talk that discussed USGOV logos and satellites

You might try googling Trevor Paglen, who wrote "I could Tell You But Then You Would Have to Be Destroyed By Me" which is a book covering those patches and their history.

I remember the video the OP is looking for, too. It looks this C-SPAN video covers the material, too: https://www.c-span.org/video/?201658-1/i-destroyed-me

Looking more closely you are right, my apologies. Thank you so much. Have not seen this video before but it does cover what I'm after. Thanks again!

Good deal. Yeah— It’s not the video I remembered either but the material I remember from the “con” talk is in there. It’s an odd feeling not to be able to find the video I have the original memory of.

Unfortunately no dice. It's a more recent video, maybe 5-7 years old. Modern stage.

Yes! You're right. Here is what I was after: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlrHNKatHMc

Thanks much!
