So the No Estimates hashtag is about the things in our industry that we just do without Questioning and I'm encouraging us to pay attention to those things watch for the things that you do because that's the way We do things those are where we need to question the most so the things I believe the most in the ones I'm most reluctant to question Those are the things I should most be questioning. That's what No Estimates is Thank you Here an agile coach as well So the most important thing for me is to learn new thing and then use it in a creative way Because that that is what I feel that if you want to be in future and always in demand learn new things Yeah, thanks I'm from shell. I'm a business analyst and a part-time agile coach So for me the important thing is the collaboration and how agile you are with the team So this is what I always focus and this is the culture you develop when when you when you are agile So the people you value most and you achieve something good So keeping this mind and learn something new as simply said so I work for Cube Cinema. I am the development manager there We started practicing agile for the past three years, but I'm not against agile But when it's when we say agile it is more about like faster doing everything faster So what I feel is somewhere along the line we Forgot to go depth in technology. It was always about deliverables and deliverables and deliverables So I feel that is missing now. So I just came here to find out how do we match Agile releases as well as like going in-depth in technology. So if any of you can answer that question I will be very happy. There is a one take away. I came here for Somebody will have an answer Thank you Hello everyone, my name is Bharath. I'm again from shell agile coach The key learning for us is basically Agile should be run by your business not IT driven. Yeah agile to be successful It's always better to be run from business Include business into it. If it is just purely driven from IT. It won't succeed. So that's a key learning. Yeah Hi, I'm Vimal from Saber One of the I mean our journey in the last several years We have done the process. We came back coming back to engineering process engineering So the the the thing that I think organizations need to do better is tie the process and the engineering practices together Otherwise, I mean agile will will be a jargon rather than an execution at play. That's that's been our experience All right, so I don't like conferences very much They're very boring and they just give you repetitive information and then last year I was forced to come to agile India and I was not very much keen and But then when I came I really found it, you know, mind-blasting and I have never seen any conference as awesome as agile India So that's why I'm here this year again and Yeah, I mean, it's not just the good speaker you get to see the idea which comes flooding from all around the world And you know that really changed my perspective And so that's where What I realized with agile you really need to have courage more than anything else because otherwise you'll surrender to the system And in order to obviously have courage you have to have some ideas and that's what agile India gave to me And so I'll be there always. Thank you I'll try to keep it crisp as probably many of you have mentioned as well over the time. We have been here for three to four years with different individuals and what we have learned is that there will be a number of ideas coming in and They're really good ideas But always think before applying them them to your needs or your processes because it's really critical at many times What happens is that we simply copy paste stuff and it doesn't work out. So we need to Think first analyze it and then only we need to apply. That's what we have learned And that's why we have been able to apply it really well and that's why we are coming over here again and again and again Thanks Yeah, I'm Hemant and we coming from Chandigarh and We are working for a Norway based company catalyst one Hi, everybody, this is Pushpa here. I'm working for A&Z. What I just wanted to share today is that When I went through the agenda, there are a lot of interesting topics to be frank That's where we get confused because I they're so tempting and so interesting that we really don't know where to go Which you know session to attend. So is there a way you can really guide us to help us Or maybe you can have more series rather than having it parallel So that will help us because I'm interested in multiple topics, but they are happening parallely. So this is something We are you're really putting us in a fix Just so good, that's a problem. So we want to know everything. It's it's a good way to learn and you know acquire knowledge Okay, excellent. Okay, great No, probably you can split it rather than having it, you know once for all everything and anything here So it will give us also an opportunity Yes, thank you so much Hello, I'm Krishna. I used to work as a coach in sabre towel technologies. So my jail transformation journey as far as my experience is concerned It's all about pragmatic thinking. We need to understand the context first What is that we are trying to change the whole organization? I mean we everyone we try to always try to teach about the Jail values or scum values everything but at the end of the day all these frameworks come XP. These are all nothing but Basic project management frameworks. It's it's where in the for example if it takes come We're trying to teach the all these come team members. How to do the project management themselves We call that as cross collaboration or self-organization, but it's fundamentally a project management framework. So if you Heard of this hollow effect in PMP It's we tend to assume that those who are techies. They're also good at managing their work as well It is not so it requires a lot of Change bringing a lot of behavioral changes in them So it really we need to get to that all different levels of the organization We need to as a coaches or scum masters understand their pain points Then start coaching them about slowly in an incremental fashion rather than trying to teach the values principles only in a Only in a theoretical fashion. That is what is view I wanted to share Hello, I'm Rohit. I work for A&Z and I Basically work in a co-banking system where we have to launch a lot of products for the clients and the customers all over the Asia Pacific The Problem we are having currently is like yeah, we follow agile up to some extent But all over the all of the release that we cannot do the agile way. Let's say One of our country wants to launch in a product. We cannot give them.  So it's like Educating the business users about the agile how we take it over the waterfall model It's like something we found Challenging because they comes from the business perspective. They want customer can open an account today and close it tomorrow It's just an example. I'm giving so it's like in kind of a dilemma that team is as of now And I'm here to gather some points that will help us to break the dilemma and we can Educate our end users like we can introduce agile in their day-to-day work So they can have the value delivered as per their preference because most of the time We are reactive not the proactive when we work on six kind of organization So that is what I'm here for and looking forward to gather that thing. Thank you. I'm a Sreeni Kadyam I'm one of the founders at a company called agile path What I'm passionate about is the building a high High-performance team the way I look at is I have seen organizations where They randomly pick up people or they randomly pick up people and then say here you go here We have a timeline we need to meet But as the team goes to the trial, you know the the four stages of the transformation by that They don't really get the full benefits of high-functioning team So where I coach the teams is that invest in building and high-performing steam then bring the work to the team And then you basically build a backlog of the projects backlog of the problems that you need to solve and you get out of the way of the team so By doing this what we were able to do is that as a team member you may not be very You may not have to have the skills all the skills that is required But as a team you need to have all the skills and then there comes an opportunity of the learning because you can give an opportunity Remember that may not that may not have come from my IT background But that is where the learning happens and that person would actually see himself or herself grow within the steam and then We had a very positive. We have a very good Success in doing in couple of engagements in the states So invest in the teams in well make sure that they perform very well and then they will make the team and You know your company better Hi, I'm Tushar working for Cisco as a scrum master In our journey of agile what we have experienced is teams are definitely love the sprint Deliverables what they got get to deliver Only benefit is if the leadership team as well runs in agile mode that helps the teams to Perform much better the teams definitely love the new way of working because it gives them awesome work life balance It's not the like you have a big target to achieve or something the sprint targets are quite Fascinating for the teams. The only thing is the leadership if they are also Agile in their way of working it kind of helps more to the teams. This is our experience in our agile journey. Thank you


With so many ROJ devices having been announced at CES 2021, we still aren't done with them. Fortunately, we are getting to a close and soon you will see the last devices from the lineup getting their own review. For today, however, we will focus on the Asus ROJ Strix SCAR 15 G533, which is the flagship gaming laptop in ASUS's ROJ brand. It is the smaller brother of the SCAR G17 G733, but it doesn't compromise when it comes to performance or features. It is more compact and provides the same level of excitement and the ROJ gaming experience. Today we are presenting you with laptop media's top 5 picks about the ASUS ROJ Strix SCAR 15 G533. Being a flagship laptop from ASUS, the build quality is for sure going to be top notch. While some parts of the laptop are made from plastic, the device is extremely rigid and solid all around. The lid is made from aluminum and it has thin bezels even on the top, where there isn't even a webcam. The design is also really cool, especially for a gamer. You get RGB lights all over the place, which can make a light show with the proper settings. The base is also very interesting, with half of it being transparent, meaning that you can actually see the internal components. The lid opens easily with a single hand, and doing so reveals the aforementioned transparent base and an amazing keyboard and touchpad combination. The keyboard unit is really cool, as it uses new optical mechanical switches, with which the actual detection input happens through light. This brings down the latency to 0.2ms and gives a key travel of 1.9mm. In reality, the keyboard has a long key travel and clicky feedback and is generally one of the best units that we have ever used. The arrow keys are nice and large, as with all the other keycaps. The unit also uses a per key RGB backlight. The touchpad is also really good and it doubles as a numpad, something that we first saw in the ZenBook devices from Asus. Please remember, it would be of great help to us if you just hit the like button and subscribe to our channel. That would motivate us to make even more and better videos for you. The Asus ROG Strix SCAR 15G533 gives you the choice of either a full HD display with a 300Hz refresh rate or a QHD display with a 165Hz refresh rate. Our review unit had the full HD display and it definitely deserves praise. It has comfortable viewing angles, the contrast ratio is very high at 1000 to 1 and it has a high enough maximum brightness of 328 nits with a maximum deviation of 13%. The display is flicker free across all brightness levels and has a shockingly fast response time of 9ms. The color coverage is amazing, sitting at 97% of the sRGB color gamut, meaning that you will be able to use it for creativity purposes, such as graphics design and digital art. The color accuracy is good with the stock settings but gets even better when we use our design and gaming profile. You can check the results with both the factory settings, left, and with our design and gaming profile applied, right. As you can see, the panel reached a Delta E value of 0.6 when using our profile. The laptop has both upgradeable RAM and storage. This is done through two Sodom RAM slots, which support up to 64GB of DDR4 memory in dual channel mode. As for the storage, there are 2 M.2 PCI-EX4 slots. ASUS has implemented a very beefy cooling setup, which consists of a total of 6 heat types, which help cool down the CPU, GPU, and VRMs. Both the Sodom and M.2 slots are easily accessible, and if you need more information on how to do it, we will leave our detailed teardown video which also showcases the great cooling setup that we have here. With the laptop, you get a massive 90W hours battery unit, which delivered 15 hours and 4 minutes of web browsing and 10 hours and 45 minutes of video playback. As with all of our battery tests, we have the Windows Better performance setting turned on, screen brightness adjusted to 120 nits and all other programs turned off except for the one we are testing the notebook with. 1. Weak. Area of the Strix SCAR 15 is the I.O. To be fair, it isn't even weak, hence the quotation marks. It still has 3 USB Type A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, 1 USB Type C 3.2 Gen 2 ports, 1 HDMI 2.0 USB connector, an Ethernet port, and a 3.5mm audio jack. The weak points of the I.O. are the lack of thunderbolt support and a micro SD card slot. The first is due to the use of AMD hardware and the CCON D is fixable with a dongle, which can be a pain to carry around, but there are other great laptops, which do have a micro SD card slot.


Economic growth is the increase in the inflation-adjusted market value of the goods and services produced by an economy over time. It is conventionally measured as the percent rate of increase in real gross domestic product, or real GDP. Growth is usually calculated in real terms, i.e., inflation-adjusted terms, to eliminate the distorting effect of inflation on the price of goods produced. Measurement of economic growth uses national income accounting. Since economic growth is measured as the annual percent change of gross domestic product GDP it has all the advantages and drawbacks of that measure. The economic growth rates of nations is commonly compared using the ratio of the GDP to population or per capita income. The rate of economic growth refers to the geometric annual rate of growth in GDP between the first and the last year over a period of time. Implicitly, this growth rate is the trend in the average level of GDP over the period, which implicitly ignores the flood situations in the GDP around this trend. An increase in economic growth caused by more efficient use of inputs such as labor productivity, physical capital, energy or materials is referred to as intensive growth. GDP growth caused only by increases in the amount of inputs available for use. Increased population, new territory is called extensive growth. The rate of new goods and services also creates economic growth.


Good afternoon everyone and welcome. This is Melissa Arma with Stock Swoosh and I'm here to do a spy review. It is February 3rd, first week in the month, beginning of the month. I am sitting here and I saw the market into the clothes today and the market actually did today into the clothes what I thought it would do in the morning and then tomorrow we're going to do what I thought we'd do today. It's just, I have such a great eye for seeing things. It's just the timing sometimes of seeing things. This is, you know, this is training people. I mean, this is training, but I knew we would do this. What we're going to do tomorrow is gap up. And I thought we'd do that today. No, we did gap up today, but we didn't fall through. But I thought today we'd fall through with a gap. And I was airing on the side of caution for all shorts. And then we fell, but we didn't reverse swoosh in the morning. I was like, oh, this is interesting. And then when we broke the bar from yesterday, I was like, I had no read. I mean, people were, a journey woman was asking me in the room. She's like, what do you think of the market? And I'm like, I'm like, this doesn't even make any sense to me right now. So I can't say anything. Nothing makes sense. And then I walked away, a lap came back and I'm like, and then I saw, I was like, Oh, my Atlanta. And then I knew that we were going to bounce, bounce hard, bounce into the clothes, go green into the clothes. That's what we did. And we'll fall through to get up tomorrow. I mean, this is amazing. But this is the market and people get upset because I said, Oh, it whipsawed us. It did this. It did that. No, I expected us to do this today. It did it on the day instead of in the morning. Okay. And I'm looking back now actually what we what we really needed to do this morning is to gap over yesterday's bar, which we didn't do. We really needed to get over 192 to run of the day and we didn't. But I thought there was enough strength in the market to go over that on the morning. But when we couldn't, then we didn't. And I just want to point out this area here. I need to solve it now. Oh, my Atlanta. See, look at this. These are areas support resistance are areas. Look, look, the day of the open and the anomaly day of the open and the anomaly day was 187 49 in the spy. And today's low was like 187 ish. This is, it's the same thing. It's a 187 10. Oh, my Atlanta. I didn't even see that earlier when I was looking at this when I called the bounce. This is almost a climactic bounce today, which, you know, I don't do that. But look at this rally. This is buying. You want to know an institutional buying looks like you want to know what money power money is in the market. Boom. This is it. Lifting over itself. This is money buying the market. This is the bulls coming in and saying no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no to the bears and following through. So yesterday I did a market video and I said, I think we follow through in our green and rally straight all the way up. We didn't today. We will now. So I was one day, one day break in here. We will get up tomorrow. We get neutral small gap or medium gap. What do we need to do to get if we get smaller medium will run if we get up big. I mean, no, let me be realistic. 195. So either we are neutral or small gap up tomorrow we run green on the day or we gap up big to 195 and run green on the day target them will be 200. Are we open up a little bit and then targets 195 expect a rally in Thursday and Friday in the market. There's a lot of reports out to and look for strong stocks to recover from the drop off today. The market's a tricky read. I do very well at reading it. Sometimes I'm slightly off with the timing like today. I yesterday I saw what was going to happen that happened today, but it happened in the afternoon today and said the morning and we'll follow through tomorrow. So, you know, this is what it is. But again, I'm in the I'm in the spy options long and it's it's a great call. I mean, it's a great call and no one no one again is believes me, but we will still make a brand new all time high in the spy this year. It's it's only February 3rd. And if we recover. If we recover 100% 100% which is which is approximately 200 from the open of the year and down open in the year a year where we dropped hard a year where we open. Let's just look at the open of the year just just just for so we open at 249 yep 200. 249. This is amazing. And wait, I'm just going to get my calculator. Hold on. Let's just be exact 249 minus the low in the year. I just want to see something here. Hold on. What do you want to do? Okay, just listen to what I'm saying people show within one month. We dropped 1947 like almost 20 points from the open of the year down to the drop off of the anomaly day which we will not break. But anyways, so we dropped like a rock.  Where do the shorts blow? Here's where the shorties blow in this 195 area which is why if we gap up to 195 we will hold the gap and run. I don't I don't know if we get up to 195 we don't that's a target tomorrow we'll run up into. I came back to what I was saying. So if we 100% retrace the almost 20 point drop off that the market made the second calendar month of the year and the month of every which is what I'm predicting will happen that we will be at 249. 200 at some point in February we will definitely make an all time brand new high this year which I predicted anyways and and we will make it somewhere somewhere in March, April. It's just you know I have to see how we play out and you know I'm very good at predicting things but lots of things affect the market and it's like I knew I knew I knew today the bias is bullish. I saw it I saw it but it didn't happen to the afternoon. In fact one was a low of the day set. Let's just look here. Well it was set in the morning but it was set at 1030 but this amazing amazing buying. I mean look let's just look at the line this far you see the V there the square to the left. Look at that we're still trading after hours here look after hours we were at 191.74. I don't think we've gone over one. Tomorrow morning in an ideal world. An ideal Melissa Armo Stockswish world we gap up tomorrow over 192. She'll have a great night everyone this is Melissa Armo Stockswish if you want to learn how to read stuff the way that I do which is all based on gap analysis. It's advanced type of analysis but it's in gaps many many people have no clue how to read gaps have no clue how to read trends or charts. Do you have any idea how many traders right now are calling this market bearish. I mean do you have any idea how many people think that we're actually in a downtrend we're not we're in the trend and people are calling the market lower I'm not. I just explained to you a little bit why but it's you know too much tonight to go over at all but if you trade with me and you trade with me daily and have done my golden gap class you know exactly what I'm talking about. So have a great night everyone this is Melissa Armo with the Stockswish email me and Melissa at the Stockswish.com if you'd like more information. And if you want to do the gap class this weekend it's a special class I only do this like once a year Saturday doing the class Monday live gap reading live trading live gap analysis on the Monday the 8th because of the Super Bowl Sunday. So it's gonna be a fun weekend no matter how you slice it have a great day everyone.


In this video, we'll discuss how and why we use the ratio test for absolute convergence when identifying the interval and radius of convergence of power series. Recall from our study of the ratio test for absolute convergence that for any series of the form, sum from k equals 1 to infinity of a sub k with only positive terms and rho is equal to the limit as k approaches infinity of the absolute value of a sub k plus 1 divided by a sub k. If rho is less than 1, the series converges. If it's greater than 1 or infinity, the series diverges. And if rho is equal to 1, the series may converge or diverge, but another test is needed. Well, since power series are of the form, the sum from k equals sum value to infinity of a sub k times x minus x naught to the kth power, the ratio test is a natural choice as a test of convergence since ratios of successive terms are usually quite reasonable to work with. Let's apply this test to an example. Consider the series shown here. What are the radius and interval of convergence of this power series? Let's take a look at rho, which is the limit as k approaches infinity of the absolute value a sub k plus 1 divided by a sub k. Specifically for this series, that's the limit as k approaches infinity of negative 1 to the k plus 1 times x to the k plus 1 divided by 3 to the k plus 1, all divided by negative 1 to the k times x to the k divided by 3 to the k. Now the nice thing about absolute convergence is we don't have to worry about our alternating parts. So I could leave those off, in fact. This would be the same as the limit as k approaches infinity of the absolute value of x to the k plus 1 over 3 to the k plus 1 times 3 to the k divided by x to the k. What I notice is that between x to the k plus 1 and x to the k, I differ by only a factor of x remaining in the numerator. Similarly, I have that happening here with 3, where I'm left with 3 in the denominator. So this limit is in fact absolute value of x divided by 3. Now the ratio test tells us that the series converges if rho is less than 1. So this series converges for the absolute value of x divided by 3 being less than 1. Now what's another way of writing that? That means that the absolute value of x is less than 3. This means that our radius of convergence is 3. Since we're looking at this series, which is generated about x equals 0, because absolute value of x is less than 3, that means that the radius around 0, at which I will converge, is 3. Now we know that unfortunately the ratio test does not give us a conclusion when rho is equal to 1. For our series, rho is equal to 1 when x is 3 and when x is negative 3. The ratio tells us that we'll likely need, we will need a different test for convergence. When x equals 3, our series becomes sum from k to infinity, is k equals 0 to infinity of negative 1 to the k, 3 to the k, divided by 3 to the k. This is equal to the sum from k equals 0 to infinity of negative 1 to the k. Now by the divergence test we know that since the limit as k approaches infinity of negative 1 to the k is not equal to 0, then this series diverges. When x equals negative 3, our series is the sum from k equals 0 to infinity of negative 1 to the k times negative 3 to the k divided by 3 to the k. I can rewrite this as the sum from k equals 0 to infinity of negative 1 to the k times negative 1 to the k times 3 to the k divided by 3 to the k. This gives me the sum from k equals 0 to infinity of negative 1 to the 2k times 3 to the k divided by 3 to the k, which then leaves me with the sum from k equals 0 to infinity of negative 1 to the 2k. Now since this is an even power all the time, this term is always equal to 1. And again, by the divergence test, since the limit of this general term is not 0, the series diverges. So in summary, our radius of convergence is 3 and our interval of convergence is negative 3 to 3, not including the end points.


How do they put it in Hollywood? Places, everyone? Places? Everybody at least 10 feet, I think so. In that case, hello everybody, Mitch again. I'm trying to keep a balance between open and frequent communications, but also not wearing out my welcome. I thought today would be an especially appropriate day for another quick conversation. It's exactly one month today since the first day of class.  Well, in this case, it feels like almost 100%. The fact is, a month in, we're still here. That was not to be taken for granted, but thanks to everyone in the Purdue family, we are here. And education is proceeding, and Purdue is open for business. There are so many people to thank for this great collective effort. Let me just give you a few numbers by way of illustration. Our facilities staff has installed 2,600 hand sanitizers. Every day they are cleaning 2,800 classrooms and bathrooms, some of them more than once. About two thirds of our employees, 4,000 or more, have offered to work remotely, so to de-densify the campus and lower the risk level to everybody even further. Our student ambassadors have logged over 1,200 hours, encouraging us all to maintain our discipline around the Purdue pledge, offering us tools to do so when we need them. And these and 100 other examples I can give reflect the fact that we have together done something many people thought would not prove possible, and that's managed under these very unfortunate and difficult conditions. So a profound thanks to everyone for the role that each of you has played. Here's a second reason today might be a good day to talk about these things. It's one month from the first day of class. It's exactly one month until the first football game. And that is going to be an opportunity for some excitement. We've got a great young team, the best coach in America, and I look forward to them. I hope our other fall sports athletes getting a chance to get back to the competition in the games they love and have worked so hard to be so good at. I just bring it up because it'll be a great opportunity among the many I hope we can keep creating to have a little bit of fun and variety in life under these somewhat difficult conditions. But also we're going to have to be careful to do it in a way that doesn't undo the great work you've done so far. So I just want to say thank you everyone, staff, faculty, students, all together for a really great first month. But let's remember we're less than a third of the way there and it's a very fragile situation. You are doing, I'm convinced, as good a job as anybody anywhere of managing our way and pursuing the great education that Purdue represents under conditions of safety. But while I say thank you so very much for a great month, let me remind you, let's do all we can to have two more.


Okay, so I have a brief request, I guess. I'm putting out a call, a call for soy devs. I am actually unironically looking for someone to help me develop a website. Now, I did a video a couple days ago talking about the problems I've had with Lulu.  I have beautifully formatted La Tech documents that I want to get printed into physical books and sell them, I have everything I need. I just need to assemble the website now. And I was going to use Shopify or whatever to make the online store, but it's just not working. It's buggy, it's proprietary trash. So what I'd really like is to commission someone or maybe a small group of people who are preferably familiar with the Stripe API, but people who could write a little website like this for me, I could probably figure it out myself. I sort of know the Stripe API a little bit at this point, but I don't know, backend development is just so annoying to me. That's one of the reasons I like minimalist sites. It's just like, you have to do a whole lot to do a little, you know what I mean? You have to learn a whole lot just to get this or that done. That's the thing that's annoying to me. So if there's anyone that's familiar with this kind of stuff and is willing to help, I think that what I'd probably do, so again, you know, I have an audience I'm going to be selling a lot of these books, hopefully once it gets underway. And I'd be willing to part with, you know, in terms of payment, I'll part with a good share of the first month or so of revenue to whoever is willing to help with this project. It may be, you know, more than that if I think that it's warranted. But honestly, I think this could be a very simple project if someone is familiar with Stripes API. You'll also need to interface with Lulu's API. So basically what just to explain the job, what it would be is I'd want a website and I want, firstly, I want it to look very simple. You know, I like HTML buttons, frankly, but you'd need a little JavaScript that interacts with the Stripe API so people can pay, you know, and you have some kind of interface where it has a cart and stuff like that. But specifically, you take payments with Stripe and then you send to Lulu's API in order to print the book and deliver it to the person's house. Okay, that's basically it. All you need to know is how to use the APIs of Lulu and Stripe and some other stuff. There, you know, there are other details like shipping information and how fast they want it shipped that you can get from Lulu's API. I just don't want to do it myself. I'm gonna be doing some things in my IRL life that will make this annoying for me to work on and I just want this project done. So if there's someone who can do this faster than me, I would like them to help. Ideally, I would like it written so you'll need to know, of course, the Stripe API and stuff like that and you'll have to learn the Lulu API. I'm gonna assume that no one knows the Lulu API because who's ever used that. But there'll be JavaScript for the, you know, user interaction and sending payments to Stripe and stuff like that. And the backend, I would like that either in Python or I guess you could do Node.js. That's okay with me. I'd prefer Python or honestly, Shell Script. No one's gonna do that. Well, I don't know if someone wants to do that. That's fine. Honestly, Go would probably be better but I don't really know Go. So, you know, whatever. So if anyone thinks they can help me with this, I would, and I'm commissioning specifically not just for this site, I would like this to be released, you know, just as a model for other people who might wanna do something similar with Stripe and Lulu's API. I would like this to be released under the AGPL. Just have it in a, you know, a GitHub repository or some, you know, GitLab wherever repository so that anyone can look at it and use it for their own devices just because it's one of those things. Honestly, like it'd be really easy if there were just models for stuff like that. You know what I mean? That's all I really want. I just don't wanna have to bother with the details. That's why, I don't know, that's about it. So if anyone's interested, email me. I'll put my email address below. Yeah, that's about it. So, yeah, and if you have suggestions, by the way, just little suggestions you can put a comment as to how things should work out. But, oh, and you don't really have to build the website itself as long as you have the backend and, you know, the JavaScript user interface. I can build the, you know, I don't really want to build a website. I just want really simple pages and stuff like that.  I like websites that look like they're from the 90s. Okay, I like HTML buttons too. Let me just say that. Anyway, that's about it.


Good afternoon everyone and welcome. This is Melissa Arma with The Stocks. What should I thought I would do a review of GPS this afternoon, it's Sunday afternoon. And really because I wanted to look at the chart in this because I thought it was so unusual what happened. I wanted to trade this as a day trade on Friday morning as a short when I looked at the earnings report Thursday afternoon. But at that time I rated it as a gap down. And when the market opened then in the morning it wasn't gapping down anymore. So then I couldn't short it and then not only did it not gap down and actually gapped up. That is very unusual I must say. I'm trying to think of when I really saw something flip. Time didn't actually flip here. Let me just look. It was unusual. It was right before the open. This is the pre-market one minute. So you know at the night before Thursday night I rated the gap and looked to short it to see if it met my criteria for a golden gap and it did. So here's all the stuff that was happening at night. This is Thursday night. In the morning early even around 8.30 it was still gapping down. So all of this here all of this here and that's it was right around 9.18. So 12, yeah this was really weird. 12 minutes before the open then it wasn't even gapping down anymore and not only that then it was gapping up and then it opened. So that this was very unusual. So of course one of the things that is important with what I do is preparation. So I prepare myself ahead of time knowing what stock I want to trade. Rating the gap for my 26 point rating system. Making short rates 20 points or more whether it's a bullish gap or a bearish gap but I know exactly what I want to do with it and the numbers and the targets and everything before the open. Very rare. Is it that something completely 100% flips several minutes before the open? Now sometimes something will flip in the actual earnings of the live earnings meaning sometimes something will actually gap up and then gap down as the earnings are being announced like all within the post market of the pre market but then it'll hold wherever it ends up sticking whether it's down or up of the gap. Now whether or not it's playable or meets my criteria of 26 point rating system I don't know until I rate it but I'm just saying usually it will hold the gap even if it flips because the flip usually happens during the earnings when it's actually being reported but that's not what happened here and that's what was so weird about this because the earnings reported at the night here's 4 o'clock 415 and then and then it held in the gap down morning until until 12 minutes before the open that was just weird. So I didn't do anything with GPS set and I was I was rather disappointed actually because it was so excited about actually doing this but then obviously I couldn't I can't sure to gap up. I didn't even look to go long this because what happened was so weird and in my head I was thinking it was gapping down and going to short and then like I said 12 minutes before the open it flip and there's no way I would have gone along this anyways because I wasn't even prepared to do anything with this let alone that I would have had to quickly rate it as a long and I was just so shocked of the flip in it. So really strange move with GPS on Friday and here's your overall chart with this. So we'll see what it does but this is not really a continuation gap here that you could look to go short on Monday because it's not a continuation of a follow through lower it ended up gapping up. So there's nothing to do with this one kind of a bummer actually and I wouldn't do anything with this. The way that it acted was not right on Friday. I wouldn't go long the stock for sure and you can't short it right now in here either so there's nothing to do with it at all but I thought it was interesting to review that because you always see something you never saw before. I think in all the years I'm trading now it's I still see things I've never seen before and that's the market and that's the amazing fun exciting thing about doing this when you're trading every day and you're part of the market every day you'll always see something you never saw before forever and ever and ever and this was something that I never saw before so it's very interesting and I didn't do anything with it and that's fine because it wasn't a short but again I wouldn't have bought it. So this is Melissa Arma with the Stock Swoosh. If anyone has any questions and if you're interested in more information about the next golden gap course it's December 5th and 6th. Email me at melissa at thestockswoosh.com if you want to sign up. Thanks everybody have a great day.


Hi there, so you decided not to get the 47 day habit hacker. It's okay. I'll be all right. Everything will be fine So listen, I wanted to make you another offer on that I don't know whether the price was a little bit prohibitive.

So I want to make you a one-time offer now, which is half half of the Half of the discounted price that I offered you on the previous screen But what I'll do is I won't give you the whole program I'll give you half of the program and you can just try it out So I'll give you like 24 days like the best 24 days of that program For half of the half price of the price that I offered you previously. Does that make sense? So that makes a little bit easier financially for you and it also Doesn't make you feel like all overwhelmed like I'm gonna do 47 pieces of content.  What's next? What's next? Give me something else. I want to transform other areas of my life and So it's a great compliment to that so Yeah, just a you know just a one-time offer on the price for that I really can't do anything can't move anything on that I feel like once you've done the 30-day alcohol challenge, you're gonna want to do 47-day habit hacker anyway But it's gonna be at that original price So yeah, if you want to do that just click the button down below it says yes upgrade my order I promise it. It's not overwhelming You can do it at the same time as the 30-day alcohol challenge or you can do the 30-day alcohol challenge And then just seamlessly move into the 47-day habit hacker, but like I said just to make it easier for you I'll give you the you know only 24 pieces of content But make sure it's the best and I'll give it to you at that far that that massively reduced rate So I hope that makes sense. I wouldn't be encouraging you to do it I didn't 100% believe in it and people who've done it have lost like there's there's one woman in New York She's she's lost 30 pounds from what she learned in the 47-day habit hacker. There's a guy in Dublin who Went from a hundred and fifty thousand dollars to eight hundred thousand Dollars in sales revenue as a result of implementing Some of that the key habits that we talk about in the program and by the way These are habits that I've learned from interviewing the world's top celebrities and billionaires I've interviewed Elon Musk who owns who owns Tesla. I've interviewed Brad Pitt John Bon Jovi Kobe Bryant David Beckham all these people who are like at the top of their game And I've asked them for their success habits and I put it all into that one program And I really want you to get get that So yeah, anyway enough of me.   But yeah, grab a 47-day habit hacker if you feel it's for you Just click the button down below to upgrade your order and hopefully I'll see you in in the 47-day habit hacker


Today AFEC released the outlook for the summer. It shows that Victoria will get average rainfall to temperatures especially in the west of the state will be above average and that means for us that we will have a bit of a late onset of the fire season. This year we don't expect significant fires in forests however we can still have fires occurring especially in in the areas close to our communities. For the parts of the state when we look east of the state throughout the northeast and Gippsland we have a lower fire risk because of the areas that burned in 2018-19 and 1925 season and also the rainfall they received over the last three months and the forecasted rain for the upcoming three months. In the west of the state we have a completely different situation because we have a really strong pasture and crop growth and with the later onset of harvesting that means that we will have ignition potential throughout the summer. During this fire season we can expect some hot windy days which will have a potential of bringing a short duration you know the one afternoon fires that will still have a high potential to impact on on the values across the landscape from our crops which are really valuable this season but also potential to impact on some private properties. In Victoria every year we can expect fires and we can also expect fires that will impact on properties so what we want people is to prepare their properties properly now and get ready for the season. We are in the most bushfire prone area of the world and we always have to be ready regardless of what the outlook for the fire season is so for some extra details please visit CFA websites and have a look how to prepare your properties how to prepare your fire plans and be ready for the fire season.


So something has the same speed in the same direction, that means it has the same velocity, so velocity is the vector that has the speed and the direction of that speed, and so that's a nice statement of Galileo's discovery. It is now typically called the law of inertia, or most commonly Newton's first law. Newton came along much later and used Galileo's work as the basis on which he built his laws and mechanics, and Newton's laws and mechanics enabled him to quantify exactly what happens when you do have forces. So in the Aristotelian worldview, a book sliding across a desk comes to rest because that's what books do, books like everything else on earth should be at rest. In the Galilean Newtonian point of view, a book sliding across a table stops because there's friction, and if the book falls off the edge of the desk and falls toward the ground, there are two explanations for that. In the Aristotelian worldview, the book is mainly made of earth, which means it wants to be as close to the earth as possible, and so it goes down, and in the Galilean Newtonian point of view, it experiences a force called gravity. And the reason that the Galilean and Newtonian point of view really supplanted all those old ideas is that the force of gravity also explains why the moon acts the way it does, and why the moons of Jupiter act the way they do, and the celestial bodies. And so we have this common theory that describes everything that we see on earth in terms of gravitation and everything in the sky, and so the fact that the Newtonian laws were both universal and quantitative enabled people to explain everything that they used to be able to explain and more meant that those ideas supplanted the old ones rapidly.


So good morning. Great to see you. It's awesome to be back together in person and this is definitely a talk about building communities and so it's really great to see the community coming together again and I want to talk with you about how we can make our open-source communities as Welcoming and inclusive as possible so that we can be together and have a lot of different voices in the room and How how we can go about doing that and give you some some strategy some tool to achieve that I want to start by reflecting on the four opens that the open infra foundation is Living up to this is the the core values that we have in this community the first one is about Open-source and this is about the license of our source code and having it available to everyone giving everyone fair access to the features the the source code and And if you read more into it on the open infra vision, it's not just about the open-source license We go a little bit further to also Clearly say we're not doing open core, but all features are available to everyone So this is at a really technical Artifact level not yet about community. This is where open design starts bringing in the community aspect of saying we are Building something together. We don't want to have a few individuals making decisions We want to make decisions about how we develop Open stack and Zool and Cata containers and starting X as a community that's not to have assume one person knows everything but that together we get a better idea of the features that we all need and Work on a process together on doing that So this is where open design starts to embed community as a core value and it's taken a step further in the open development where now This idea of open development is how do we actually Have processes in place How do we make it possible that everyone can? contribute come on in join us and So we want to transparent inclusive development process Open development is about how we go about doing this the next value open community Really focuses on the people now on saying okay We want everyone voice to be heard. We want everyone represented in the community. We want to have leadership positions Filled with a diverse set of people So if we are looking at the open infra foundation and our projects what we are striving towards is to have this very inclusive environment So this is what we're striving towards now if you take a step back and look at the open source ecosystem as a whole For many years now, this is the github's open source survey from five years ago And unfortunately there are not really much newer information So we have to rely on these Somewhat older data, but I don't think a lot has changed. So let's look at those numbers that we do have Github found that 95% of respondents were men only 3% were women and So there's a huge imbalance if we look at the users of technology and The population on this earth as a whole where it's about even there's a huge imbalance Other surveys like Mozilla. They found a somewhat more even Distribution, but still there is an imbalance in the gender distribution in our community and Open stack had a community report Four years ago and even here the authors Said that typically in open source we have 10% women and open in open stack We have seven to eight in when we look at the code contributions, but then when we look at the leadership and governance We already see a larger portion. So we are making the right strides starting at the top for opening up the door and inviting Women specifically in this report to participate and make a difference and be heard and be seen and Have a role to play So so this is the situation that we know exists and we want to change that we want to work actively towards being more inclusive bringing more people in having a larger community and There are a lot of different suggestions of what to do a One that has become de facto standard today is to have a code of conduct and to enforce it The enforcing part is still where a lot of communities are struggling, but I've seen and heard many times now that if Community does not have a code of conduct developers are not even going there. They're like No, this is a minimal requirement for an open-source project today Just a very simple thing to say, okay these are the rules that we expect everyone to abide by just you know, not just be nice to each other but actively suppress toxic behavior speak out against it and Make sure everyone gets included we can go a step further and creates basis for our Contributors that are in a minority for whatever reason there is a lot of different Demographics that we could go by gender sexual orientation where you are on the on the globe which country you're in it might also be religion or Ethnic group or whatever so there are many different ways that someone can feel in the minority and have a harder time to Feel they fit in and contribute So how do we go about doing this? There are many different things. I Want to focus on one? one specific strategy That focus more on the technology side. What can we do on a technology level and to Counter the bias that we are sometimes introducing without even knowing it and I want to Follow a process that might seem familiar where we want to discover what is Maybe preventing someone from contributing Understanding why that is a problem to them Maybe it might not be to us but to them and then resolve it. How do we go about resolving it? And if you are Familiar with squashing bugs then this should sound very familiar where someone identifies something is not working, right? Okay, let's Look a little deeper. What's going on? Where's this bug coming from and then? discussing how to solve it and I want to thank Anita sama who is a professor at the Oregon State University who I learned this Strategy from so I want to give her credit for that and I'm also working with her on a book about this and other strategies and how to promote diversity equity and inclusion in open source So let's start with an example So you understand what? I'm what we are talking about. Let's say we have someone who comes to our community and discovers a Typo or something in the documentation where they say I I know how to fix this That like what what it should be correct, but how do I go about actually fixing it? So they might come to our Read me and the only blurb that they find for contributing to our project is to help us with code you know describes in One sentence that there's a 30-minute process for contributing anything Is that really an investment that I would be wanting to do if I just want to update? The documentation and make a fix there probably not so also in this description if If I am someone who Just once the here go here go here go here. I need to process to do it. This doesn't give me anything and so If you think about it, okay, who is this person? How do they like to solve a problem? We might come up with a much better Description say okay, we also want documentation Contributions here the steps needed to make this happen and then we break it down and make it pretty easy Now how do we arrive here? Let's first think of this is now the process that we can go through When we walk in someone's shoes, that's the goal figure out, okay What do they want to maybe help with? What are their goals with interacting with our project? What are they even interacting with? Are we talking about our issue tracker our read me? Installation guide the tutorial and then what do they want to do with it? So so we need to have a focus Once we understand what someone wants to do in our project We can describe the steps required to actually do it and we want to be explicit for Here are the things that you need to do so for making a documentation change on a GitHub repository it might require clicking the edit file and then describing the commit change in a commit box hitting commit and then We're not done yet. We also need to create the pull request and That there's a few extra steps So so we need to be clear about what are the steps to make that contribution? to achieve that goal and then we have to Think about our newcomer or someone who comes to our project. Who are they? How are they? Thinking how they what are their motivations? So is this someone who just needs to get the work done and or is this someone who likes to tinker with technology? What what is their background? Because that shapes the way that they're approaching our project and we want to think about this person a little bit So we can walk in their shoes Do they feel comfortable enough? Just clicking on a button and seeing what happens or did they want to know what actually is supposed to happen before? So they click on it. So there are different ways people approach technology and approach problem-solving on on our technology So we want to have that picture in mind and Then we can go into understanding. Okay, let's come to our read me if we go back to our example and Think about those first goal that we described back here Edit read me file. Does this imaginary newcomer? actually Figure out that they that's what they want to do edit the read me if Yes, maybe no, and then what in their personality might have Steered them towards yes or no and this is this important to note because if someone is an Information processing style that is comprehensive. So they like to understand everything the full contribution process first before doing something and we only provide them, okay You want to edit the read me file without giving the steps then they might be missing What are the steps that I need to do and so we can say no, they actually don't and market why The same we do for for the steps with Creating the commit creating the pull request. What are the steps? And why is that maybe a challenge for someone who thinks in a certain way? And I I know from experience that I made a change I saved it it's done and then GitHub that workflows longer and so for a lot of people the way that they think It's not intuitive so we described that first are they even Figuring out what the action is and then once they take that action Do they get the confirmation that they know what they did had the effect? They wanted to happen So is the feedback loop working in our process in our documentation in our Whatever they're using and then we can Prioritize fixing any any bugs that we find along the way We can count how many issues did we have with figuring out what needs to be done and taking the right actions and if we take into consideration that Where we had these checkboxes for the different Aspects of a personality Then we can also identify. Is this a diversity issue where someone just thinks differently from us So with the best intentions, we can write the best documentation But if we write in a way that is good for how we are thinking and someone else thinks differently then This process would would show us that this is an issue So then we can go ahead and say okay here is where we decide to Resolve this and then we do this again and again and again with different personalities in mind We do this walk through several times and the more often we do it and we do it as a team maybe two three people do it together and they bring in different perspectives to figure out okay where in our processes where in our contribution are the breakdowns and They do it from someone who is more of a tinkerer to someone who is more of I want to Have all of the steps laid out before I even start the process and That's how we find out where to make our improvements So this is this is this idea of discovering understanding and resolving the what what is maybe preventing other contributors from working in our communities and I will I I made it very fast. We still have plenty of time to talk about it and share experiences and If you have anything you want to bring up and share with the group I always like to provide a forum for that as well. So thanks for coming and having interest in this topic Just out of curiosity. It does this Approach make intuitive sense or are you like what is even talking about? Where are you on on this nods or shaking heads nodding? Yes Yeah, so for anyone who is on the live stream. I was gonna repeat it. Oh, we also have a microphone So for anyone who is listening from the internet the comment was about not just describing the prospect also motivating and getting people to Actually take that step to contribute and when they find a buck to also help fix it Yeah Okay, thank you. Yeah, so how do we how do we motivate? Maybe that's a good question for For discussion. How do we get people to? Not just say, okay, here's the buck and I reported which already can be a hurdle in itself How do we then engage them? So what are some strategies that we can use to do that? One of the things that I know turns people away is if they never hear from Someone else in the community some validation that yes, this is a bug. Let's work on this together so having some some SLA bad word here But some some response time that we want to maintain as a community could be a first step to engage the people right when they Feel the problem of the bug there. They already invested Contributing the bug report and now we can capture that interest by responding and inviting them. Okay How would you solve it? Yes? Thank you for reporting it Any ideas on what we can do next? Maybe that is a first step Any other ideas for how to motivate Contributions bug fixes Are there other things you have already thought about going in so that was just the first thing that that came to my mind So I think it's even hard to get to get the people in Motivated to first create the the bug report and open the issue on github and this is not because it's too hard for them because it's just Yeah, they check out the project and we'll never do it because why should I care for others code so I Think it's more to get the people into the Into the mood to contribute to open source projects here. We need more effort. I think So this is not about a single project more of a mind shift in the industry that When we are using open source and we're relying on it that we also want to Help maintain it and contribute back as much as possible. Yeah, so Yeah, it's a valid point Sustainability is a big issue in open source projects and that is one of the solutions we can have that Yeah Yes, thanks. No, I was just gonna respond to that point. I think that's probably also something to do with like Just imposter syndrome of new contributors who are just coming into the project thinking that oh What if my bugs not good enough or what if like it's not a valid point or What if like the maintainers know better so I think it's Having more inclusive documentation just in general Encouraging people to like file it here It's simple or like you said like documenting how you can actually File it or like the step-by-step process that it's actually these five steps that you need to take so I think That's probably one of the reasons Yeah, thank you and We can take that a step further not just describe Here is how you open that bug report, but here's also the response that you will get Here's what you can expect as a response because that can lower the anxiety Going somewhere new and not knowing Okay, am I gonna be called out on this or are people gonna be happy or What what's gonna happen next am I expected to now write 10,000 lines of code to fix it myself or you know just Also describing okay after you respond or after you create this issue Here is how we as a community have agreed to respond and maybe even have templates for that Where we can say okay as a as a buck triaging If I'm doing buck triaging here are the things that I will be looking for You know does it have the right labels? Is it in the right place? Does it have all the information? And so as someone who is opening that issue I Can already anticipate what questions I might be getting back how I'm expected to be involved in the following process So one of the projects that like I've been working on recently is to Actually help build a community around an open-source project that my team has built in the past So there has been this project like around for like more than two years. It's called It's a the project is called thought so it's about like Python packages and it's it's like a guidance service But we have recently been working around like actually building a stronger community around it making it more You know like you said me giving creating that whole feedback process where the new contributors actually get to see Time to response as a lios SLI's and all of that Information on like a dashboard or some sort of metrics Even including like AI or AI ops to it. So we have been working on a bot that can sort of That integrates with pull requests on a GitHub Repository and based on the past PRs of that repo it basically gives a time to merge estimate or a time to React estimate on the issue. So the new contributor already gets to see that. Oh, it's gonna be reacted within one week Two days three hours. It's not accurate always, but then with more Issues with more PRs it gets like rebuilt retrained Iterated upon and that's also something we are gonna talk about today that whole process, but I think There's so many ways you can do this, right? Like like you said like giving that sort of Feedback that this is when it'll be reacted on this is what happens after you open the bug or the issue and whatnot Yeah, thank you for sharing that Do you have You said you have like dashboards and tracking of the responsiveness and how long things are open or first response Are you are you seeing an impact from implementing certain strategies to? Retaining contributors newcomers or what does the data show you if I if you don't mind me asking So that's the sort of next step which you are going to be looking at right now we are at a very Amy come in so right now we are at a stage of like just Creating those outward-facing dashboards and integrating them directly into either the GitHub repo or the website where the Users would generally go to either like find documentation or open bugs and whatnot. So I think Right now we are trying to put it out there capture some metrics and see How many people actually landed and how many people who landed on the dashboard actually went to open a github issue? Or went back to like clicked on to the repo or like did something and find that whole user journey and That's our next step. We haven't gone there so far, but Like I'm very curious to see like does that create does creating that kind of visibility into React time into support Make an impact on the user actually so TBD still being investigated, but we'll find out soon. I guess Yeah, awesome. Thank you. Thank you for sharing. I Would love to talk more with you about this Afterwards and we're also going to be Emilio and I were going to be in the metrics corner downstairs Where we have dashboards for all of the Open-infra projects well open stack we're still working on that but the others we have dashboards and metrics Those kinds of insights at least for the open-infra projects any other comments Anything you have tried or experienced something that failed maybe even where you're like, don't do this again All right. Well, I think we have two minutes. So We'll all get two minutes back Thank you so much for joining the session and I hope to see you around the chaos community, thank you Amy is The community health analytics open-source software community where we talk about metrics analytics community health diversity equity inclusion So a lot of the things that I learned I learned through conversations with members in the chaos community
