What is an engineer? We are the problem solvers. An Army engineer to me is kind of like the jack-of-all-trades. Army engineers lead the way for the rest of the Army. Actually part of it about being an engineer is hands down. Getting a blow-up. What is an engineer? An engineer is a person who applies mobility, accountable ability, survivability, skill sets on a battlefield for someone else. Army engineers use math and science to solve military problems. We're able to shape terrain so we can use wire or other obstacles to slow the enemy down when they are approaching defensive positions which is a combat multiplier and enables our maneuver forces to win. Well, the big story is when we did the invasion of Iraq when I was with the 173rd Airborne, how they used this equipment operators to actually build fortifications in Bashir to protect ourselves from any incoming forces. Because we're a combat multiplier, if you need us to go out in front of the enemy tree to clear a route, we're going to do it. If we need us to breach an obstacle, we're going to do it. If we need us to complete a combat trail with heavy equipment or fill hascos for survivability, we're going to do it. We can build bridges to help maneuver forces across rivers and we do that in combat rapidly. We're able to replace them. We can also provide mobility to our combat forces as well. So when the enemy puts in a minefield, for example, the engineers are the ones who breach that minefield in conjunction with maneuver forces in order to restore mobility to the battlefield and allow maneuver forces to continue the attack. One of the big parts is the mobility factor. So a lot of the enemy obstacles, the quickest way to get rid of that obstacle is to just blow it up and provide a path to move through. What we really are, we're teaching our soldiers how to think and many times on the battlefield, we can't predict what the issues are that they're going to run into but our problem solvers, our combat engineers, they solve that problem and get through it.


Just calling this thoughts on leading software teams. So it's a pretty low bar It's gonna be thoughts. That's all You're getting promised Definitely will be some So my name is Jody Hamilton I work at Renaissance electronics, which is a large semiconductor company We're running a really large Drupal 9 site And I previously was the CTO of ZipTech Since 2008 And this is my 12th bad camp so when I think about getting into leadership in tech I kind of think of it as starting as a developer and You are constantly trying to expand your stack when you first get started, right? So you first thing you learn is like HTML and CSS Then for most of us we learn PHP my sequel JavaScript, maybe other languages and then you start to You know you have maybe a moment where you think you know something But then you start to realize there's this all this other stuff that you don't know you start to learn about Linux and you start to learn about running infrastructure and You learn Vim and then you have to learn Git and obviously you learn everything about Drupal and Then people start to get interested in other things. Well, maybe I should learn more about design strategy and accessibility and then for me I started to get into site architecture giving Site audits for projects. I got into business. I started a business. I got into All kinds of things running that business doing sales team building mentorship staff development these were just all kind of For me, I was just trying to build a good website, but to do that You start to realize that the problems are not just Writing PHP the problems are bigger and bigger and bigger. How do you have if you want to do a good website? You need a good team if you want a good team now You have to learn how to do recruiting and how to retain that team how to motivate that team so the problems just kind of like get broader and broader and broader if you're really interested in Trying to solve the the hard problems So this has kind of been my my journey I became a product owner Currently working on a team transformation and Throughout like these 12 times that I've been to bad camp. I think I've been here you know speaking on each of these different topics over you know as I've kind of Try to become an expert on one thing after another. I feel like I've I've Come here, and I've talked about the Drupal development. I've talked about code quality I've talked about site architecture, and it's just kind of like one after another and Ultimately, I Feel like the most important problem that you can solve In your in your team is really being the leader of the team It's not the the technical problems like the code problems are much easier So So I sort of accidentally Became a leader of a team mainly because I Wanted to do bigger projects, and I also I just wanted to do something Good for other people so I kind of as I kind of got into Drupal became a web developer I Felt like I was making all this good money, and I had such a good job doing interesting things I just kind of felt bad for the people like my friends were working at coffee shops and I thought you know, maybe I can try to Teach them this stuff and like help other people to get into this. I also Ended up starting a business because I felt like I was sort of had been Underestimated in the market. I never I'd always had different jobs where I was sort of treated like a lot less Capable than I really was and I thought starting my own business was kind of the only way that I Was going to be able to Have the type of role that I felt that I should have So I just kind of jumped into that had really no idea how to do it and then for many years Just wondered like, you know, am I actually a Successful leader or am I you know actually a terrible leader? I think that's what most leaders are thinking, you know Are you is there something about leadership that you don't know? That you haven't been taught because almost no one has actually been taught leadership. So This past year I finished my MBA and I thought that One of the things I would learn from that would be finally like what are the actual tricks to be a leader?  It's all they just teach you how to like how to add up the inventory of your like manufacturing business and Like and then like run some crunch some numbers about it. They don't actually teach you how to be a leader and part of that is That you can't actually teach people how to be a leader perhaps So maybe it's not a terrible thing that no one actually Tries to teach you how because you can't really it's not really something you can be taught The only kind of part of like American life where there really is any leadership training that I have found is the military So the military like takes leadership training like super seriously But like nowhere else do is there actually like leadership training die that I found but that's okay It turns out it's actually very easy to become a leader.  So that's pretty easy It's a lot of people I think believe That it takes a certain personality type to be a leader and that therefore because they don't have that personality type They would never be able to be a leader unless they somehow like faked having that personality type That's actually not true at all The personalities can make things easier or harder for you But they don't they almost never make something impossible for you. So there is no like personality type being a leader is Very much like you're taking a walk in the woods with your friends Who do you want to go in the front and be the leader the person who knows which way to go? They don't have to have a certain personality They didn't have to be certified that they were a leader if they knew which way to go put them in the front of the group That's all there is to it. So if it's pretty easy to become a leader Then why does it seem like we have such bad leadership in tech and I don't have like any like Vaccine figures or even though if you could have any to kind of show that There is a leadership crisis in tech But it definitely feels to me that there is because when you talk to people If you're interviewing someone to try to hire someone They tell you all the time though. Well, they work where they work like there's there's bad leadership They don't have they don't have a good direction the people in charge don't know what they're doing um You see Not only entire teams that have barely any leadership, but whole companies in tech Well, I won't name any perhaps Since I'm being recorded, but some large Drupal companies do seem like they have like no one actually like running the show at all It's just like a whole bunch of engineers just kind of working on different things And it and it never really comes together or makes any sense My boyfriend's company is like that they have like they have like a hundred engineers and No leadership whatsoever. They all just kind of work on different things. They can never get it together and have a product It doesn't matter how good the engineers are they don't have anyone to to bring it together and tell them what they're even Should be doing So It's a it's I think a huge problem So I think about like why do we not have better leaders in tech? I Think it has to do with the fact that The people that we need to be the leaders Are the are the top developers? We can't just have we can't just like get our leaders from some totally separate place and then they're gonna come in and Tell the developers what to do like if you're gonna lead the developers you're gonna need to be a developer so in order to Talk a developer into being a leader is not that easy typically when you talk to developers about leadership They'll say that they want to be mentors Like to mentor people. They like to help out the junior developers Maybe do some knowledge sharing or something like that Rarely do they say they want to like officially manage the entire team And I think the reason for that is It's a lot of work. It takes a lot of emotional energy Most developers are introverts who are guarding their energy.  It's just like an escape if you have problems in your life You don't have them while you're programming You forget about them completely. It's great.  You're just like on this treadmill Doing these problems faster and faster and faster Until you're super burned out and most developers are pretty burned out So when you ask them like hey, can you take on these additional responsibilities It's gonna be like 20 hours a week of meetings Plus like dealing with everything else. You're already dealing with it's not a very attractive offer Especially considering the developers are already paid pretty well so It's not like they they need the raise that they're gonna get by becoming a manager So for most people it just seems like it's not worth it. It's better to Just write the code all day and not become a leader So as a result teams try to bring in these like non-technical leaders and That rarely goes well I don't know if anyone's like ever had an experience where they had like a leader as a developer who wasn't at all Technical and if it's ever gone well, I think it can go well It's not impossible for it to go well if that person has Really good leadership skills in terms of all kinds of soft skills with how they're working with others and getting Motivating others and getting others to collaborate with each other that could work Most of the most of the people that I think of who are like non-technical leaders of software teams They normally like if you dig into it, they are pretty technical, right? Like they might be they might not be a back-end developer, but then you dig into like oh well They're actually like a pretty good UX designer or they're actually like a very serious project manager But like they actually you know, they they typically always have some expertise in something that was relevant It's usually not that they're just like complete outsiders that just kind of wandered in and And succeeded at running this software team But much more often when you have not technical leadership You get these kinds of guys and it's like usually guys they Their whole kind of thing is that they're gonna get some resources Right, so that's like how they're gonna like run their software team We're gonna like go out there like get some more resources put the resources on it and then Then something's gonna happen and that work's gonna get done and you're like is that actually how software is made because Doesn't seem right so to try to inspire anyone to actually want to be a leader considering that it's not Perhaps always feel like the the best job compared to just getting to sit there and write code all day. I Think the the main reason That's worth doing is if you kind of think about your How you're gonna feel about your career At the end of your career and your old age and you're looking back You're not gonna care about all of the bugs that you fixed and all of the websites that you made Like they're gonna just all Be immediately forgotten. I can't even remember the bug that I fixed two days ago If you just forget it as soon as you do it doesn't mean anything to you. There's just another one It's just like a puzzle that you're solving but when you look back on your life and you remember like the people who You were able to help by leading them That's something that you'll have your entire life and that's something that at the end of the day Just matters a lot more than the actual websites so for me One of the things that I was able to do at Ziv Tech was like Bring a lot of people into tech careers. So a lot of people who had like no experience had never written code. I was able to train them up and Get them started in their first Tech job and once they had a tech job, they're set. You know, you always talk to the people who are just Still trying to break into their first tech job If you can break into your first tech job, you are you're fine. You're set. Your whole life is going to be different. You see them Buying houses getting married having families like things that they would have never been able to do When they were working at Best Buy or you know at the coffee shop or at the Trader Joe's and so it's like you are able to Change people's lives and the lives of their families in a major way. It's might be kind of like And even and even if you're not even if it's not as extreme as that even if it's not as like Oh, you're able to like find someone who had no experience and train them up even if it's just You already have a team. They already have professional jobs. You can still help them to learn things and move forward in their careers and to like elevate them to a higher role and Just everything that you're that you're doing as a leader that is elevating other people It ultimately I think just something that you can feel a lot better about yourself than just like Being like a code monkey your whole life So One of the kind of corny but true things about leadership is it's it's all based on values So it's it is very corny people always tell you this it's completely true that to to have To be a leader you have to be values based You have to think about what your values are They're typically going to be human based values because as leaders what we are leading is other humans So for me some of the values that I think about a lot are trying to elevate others Cultivating compassion Authenticity transparency vulnerability and overall just to place a high premium on the individual talent of people and They are creative potential because I know for myself in my experience when I have passion and and I and I apply myself to it. I can do things that you know a hundred unmotivated people would never be able to do and I think we all know that like one person who's creative and talented and Has passion for what they're doing is Capable of doing so much more than Then you could that you could ever imagine so it's not like so that's why it makes no sense to talk about people's resources It's that there's they're not like a resource. We'll get another resource. They get another resource Okay, we have three resources if we get one more then we'll be you know That'll be 33% more resources people don't are not like linear commodities You can sort of activate someone's creativity in some way and all of a sudden that person becomes a hundred times more valuable They have some breakthrough ideas. They start to Collaborate with each other and be able to figure out things that they would have never been able to figure out so it's like if You you have it's it's I mean It's a it's a talent base. It's a creative pursuit. It's sort of like Professional sports or or music where it's where one person might be incredible But people are not you know all the same and so Yeah, to me, I think that's like the biggest My biggest value that I try to hold on to now the great thing about values is that they're not the same as your personality So it makes it sounds like oh, these are my values. Wow. You must be like a really a nice great person Not all my personality is like the complete opposite of the values. That's okay These are more aspirational. That's okay. Like you can embrace the hypocrisy.  That's what's gonna motivate me to find a new job No, they're leaving companies because the culture of the company sucks and They want to work with good people in a better culture so if culture is that important that it's like What gets you to be able to attract employees or lose employees? and retain employees, but it's also Like their energy level and their passion and their ability to to work together so it's actually incredibly important but It's you know, it's one of those kind of like soft things and as developers We tend to like hard logical problems and it kind of is hard for us to say like Okay, we need to like get into like this squishy emotional stuff, but it is really the heart of of the problem so in terms of culture I think You can often as a leader Not you can underestimate how much you influence the culture when you are Having a bad day or a good day It rubs off on the entire team in ways that aren't totally obvious all the time But you should try to remember that Everything that you're doing is is influencing the culture, but you know again try not to beat yourself up about it So for setting the tone to me, I think a Successful culture of a software team Needs to be respectful, which means you can't have someone on your team who's like this arrogant ass Who makes fun of people when they write bad code no matter how bad the code is? You can't make fun of people you got to you know be direct that this is you know Needs work and how we're gonna change it But if you shut people down They'll never open back up again and the whole goal with a team culture is that the team works together very closely when you have a team that's like Collaborating very closely they act like a single brain with like all of these different Parts to the brain connected They know when and who to ask at every time they have an issue and that person is right there With the information that they needed and to teach them something and they know well This guy is the expert on this and she's really great at this and they're right there Like at your fingertips in slack and they're telling you what you need to know You might be the kind of developer that can solve any problem yourself That's fine, but if you're the kind of developer That could probably solve any problem themselves, but you work with the rest of the team to solve your problems as quickly as possible That's much more effective. You can solve any problem yourself given infinite time but your goal is to Get through the problems as quickly and efficiently as possible, which means calling on your teammates And working well together to do that you have to trust each other that no one's ever gonna make fun of each other for making a mistake and that You know everyone is going to be like support each other and it's okay to ask a Stupid question and not know things and that you don't have to ever be concerned That someone's gonna mistreat you because of that if you have someone like that on your team Who mistreats people no matter how good of a developer they are that you have to get them off the team If you can't get them to change their behavior because that'll ruin your entire culture Most cases You don't have to fire them most cases If you let them know it's unacceptable they can adjust their behavior So another sort of important part of Culture is to have a teaching culture where everyone on the team understands that Taking that moment to teach one another is Always a good thing and it doesn't matter how busy you are and How much is going on that? Nothing's really more valuable than taking that extra moment with your colleague To teach them about the problem that they're trying to solve right at that moment If you get your team to start to value teaching and mentoring each other the team Just just grows in their quality and how much they can do and you can have and you can get to the point where you can bring in junior developers and The senior developers can mentor that person up Just through day-to-day interactions until that person is very quickly a senior developer too, and that's the ideal Another kind of important part of the culture is to always try to share successes Elevate people thank people You know just throw them some thumbs up emojis. It only takes like a second It's corny, but you know it makes a difference to people's day and if you do these things To take care of your people you will Not only have them collaborating better and be more motivated But but you'll retain them and they'll be loyal to you and Listen to you and be able to work together with you.  This is this is an issue everywhere. I think it's especially true on the corporate level so in every tech team There are naturally Forming class system. Well, I don't know if they're naturally forming, but they tend to form So some of the class systems that form are like around Like your employment status, so in most teams like there can be a mixture of people who are full-time Contractor and and vendor people and it's what happens a lot is that turns into a class system, right? Where the the contractors or the people who are working for a vendor for a staff log are treated poorly and the full-time people are treated much better That is not Because of malicious reasons, I don't think I think it happens that way Because people have limited energy and they think to themselves like okay. Well this group of people works for a vendor So the vendor can worry about being nice to them and supporting them and taking care of them We already have all these other people that to deal with so we don't have time for them. We're not even gonna like Talk to them or try to get to know them really or treat them like human beings Well, that's a missed opportunity. It's not just it's not that it's not just that it's wrong to Treat some people better than others which it is I believe it's not just that it's wrong It's it's an enormous missed opportunity. It's a talent-based industry. So if you if you if you don't put the effort into supporting and nourishing and Recognizing people's talents and trying to elevate them You will miss out on the opportunity of them being able to do much bigger things Then when you treat them like there's some kind of a tool So it's actually your loss to kind of treat people like less than Full human being that can that can do is same as anyone else Some of the other class systems that you run into are like this. There's like a weird class struggle between technical and non-technical people Especially in the corporate world. So there's So and that's it kind of like it works and from both sides a lot of technical people don't respect non-technical people and think that they are just these sort of like mindless stakeholders who are just have like random whims that they're like coming at us with And are just really ultimately not very smart people if because they're unable to write code So there's like a bit of like that that side of the bias and then from the other side a Lot of people who are non-technical people How treat technical people like they are a resource or a tool or just somehow less than a fully human person And that is like for me pretty unbearable and And it's also crazy because Sometimes it will extend to you even when you even when you like Are doing the the strategy work and you're and you're doing non-technical work with these non-technical people Sometimes they will still see you because the because you know how to write code That makes you less than that because a coder is some type of like a interchangeable laborer that does some sort of like dirty work of some sort and so like they if they know if once they classify you as a technical person You're now like in a lower status not everyone and not everywhere Acts like that, but for some reason Some people do act like that and that's like the culture of their of their companies like treat developers like that It doesn't really make any sense considering that developers are smart people and they actually are People who are capable of everything else that the other people are doing It's they're not like Weird robots that are like missing something that the other people have in my only theory For for why that happens is that it's just like a type of way to Protect themselves and to like make them feel Like they must feel in some way threatened By people that can write code so they must just have to come up with some rationale What they're better than those people But it's it's all kind of the The a big Problem because when your whole thing that you're trying to accomplish with with these teams as a leader It's to get people to work together and so that means they need to work together with like the technical people and the non-technical people and Every one of these different Systems that separates people It is an obstacle to you actually having a high performing team So a lot of times your role as a leader in a large organization is just continuously trying to Connect people break down barriers between people get rid of walls that are separating groups and Get them to be able to communicate with each other and treat each other well because as Soon as you as soon as you kind of like break down one wall you find somewhere else that a wall is going up So it's just like an ongoing thing that you need to do one of the terrible parts of being a leader is that you have to fire people and Just that I would mention that because It's It's a it's one of the reasons people don't want to be a leader It's something that no one wants to do and there are a lot of leaders who Just can't handle it and that it's easier to just kind of keep people then to fire them So that happens all the time that there's like teams where a lot of people should have gotten cut and they have not gotten cut Because people are just afraid to To be the bad guy and and have to do that so I Would say it's extremely valuable if you are able to assess the performance people in your team and You have enough courage to be able to cut them you will be able to have a much better team The One of the problems with non-technical leaders of teams is that they have no idea how to assess the performance of the people on the team So they can have people on the team that are very bad low performers and they easily be fooled that those people are are doing fine and The other team is never able to be successful Because they're not able to figure it out Okay, so What it yeah So one of the things that I'm doing now in the past. I I was able to Start a team from the beginning And I had to grow that team and I had to Maintain that team and bring in people but it was always the same team. I didn't have to Um Build multiple teams. I just had one team. I had the same people stuck around for ten years Now I've taken on a team that is an already existing team and My challenge is to transform it Into being a high-performing team so I Think that a really good way to approach that problem is to follow the agile principles There's a few things That are good about that first of all when you're trying to like change Change a team It's a lot better to be able to like point to some widely accepted principles then to kind of come in with your own principles that you then have to like defend and Are just kind of people can easily kind of say well, that's just her wacky weird shit that she's into nobody can like Nobody's gonna say I'm into wacky weird shit if what I'm arguing is just the principles from the agile manifesto Right. So so the agile manifesto and the principles that go along with that are very well respected across the entire software industry So as you and these are the principles that are a part of the agile manifesto, so it's not like all the Kind of rules of like scrum. It's just the wider just like agile philosophy So when you're transforming a team, there's a million things that you have to do because You need to change the culture. You need to improve the processes. You need to do hiring You need to do firing. You need to change the structures of the teams. You need to Find your leaders and empower your leaders you need to have You need to like start knowledge sharing sessions You there's just like a million things you have to do and to figure out Which things you should do first and how to think about those things. I think these principles are really useful So you can kind of go through each one of these and then reflect on your team What is the next step that we could take to do better with this principle, right? So you can kind of find like an actionable step for each of these so For example Number three deliver working software frequently, right? So you reflect on that, okay? well, we deliver working software every two weeks and it's not really Frequently enough and it's not very automated so one of the things that we need to do on our team is to automate those deployments and Shift a lot of parts of our process left so that we can start to deliver working software more frequently So that's one of like our process changes in our and our infrastructure changes that we need to make number four Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project So that's another wall that you need to break down if you have if your business people and your developers are Not interacting directly which is common You need to figure out what are the steps that we can take to improve that Do we need to schedule some meetings? Do we need to get people to know each other? Do we need to invite some different people into slack? Do we need to ask the business to do some presentations to the development team? Or do we just need to like make sure that the development team Knows that they're empowered to reach out to the business and that's valued and that you know The business isn't like someone that you should be ignoring because because you know don't bother them. They're they're too busy or whatever So yeah, I think these are these are very useful to kind of just each one of these Each one of these principles if you really dig into it reflect on it Can lead to all sorts of different projects and ways that you can improve your team So they're they look like they're just like a short sentence, but when you like really dig into them There's a lot in in each one And I really like I really like a lot of them like this one simplicity The art of maximizing the amount of work not done is essential So how are you going to apply that to your team or get them to understand that? But it's not about writing more code more code more code, but like figuring out how to Perhaps get rid of a bunch of code and and do less so that is all I have got I think I had some thoughts and My Call to action is hit me up unlinked in if you would like a job we have a Opening for a senior Drupal developer and for a DevOps lead and we are making a very awesome team.

Hello and welcome back to another episode of Physics Partner. In this episode, we will explore the concept of cladney figures and we will dive into the rich history behind it and even discuss its real life applications that continue to shape our world. Cladney figures refers to the mesmerizing patterns that form on a surface when a bow scraps the edge of a flat plate covered with a thin layer of sand or salt. These patterns, often resembling intricate geometric shapes, are formed due to the vibrations created by the sound waves passing through the plate. These vibrations cause the sand or salt to move, create these fascinating formations. To understand cladney figures better, we need to delve into their history. Ernest Cladney, a German physicist and musician of the 18th century, is credited with their discovery. Cladney not only uncovered the phenomenon but also developed intricate methods to visualize sound vibrations, leading to significant advances in our understanding of acoustics. Cladney figures have practical applications as well. For example, violin makers have long used cladney figures to shape the critical front and back plates of the instrument's resonant box. Engineers meticulously study cladney figures to understand how sound waves interact with different material, allowing them to optimize speaker designs for better sound quality and dispersion. Cladney figures also find their place in the realm of architectural acoustics. By employing these patterns, experts can shape concert halls and auditoriums in a way that minimizes aqueous, enhances sound projection and create an immersive experience for the audience. The beautiful harmonic patterns seen in cladney figures are an essential tool for fine tuning the acoustics of these spaces. In conclusion, cladney figures have captivated scientists, musicians and architects alike with their mesmerizing patterns and profound implications.


People registered plus we have a lot of MOB employees who are around you who are interested in the meet-up. So I think you have a crowd of about 300 So the I think all of you know the agenda. I'll just run through it once But before I do that, let me just introduce myself. My name is Vinay. I'm I used to get a data development team and some of the products that people will talk about now were built by my team and and Little bit more about agenda. We are going to have four talks today We are just keeping the initial part introduction because we are already quite late So maybe towards the end we can actually have a stay back and you know talk a little bit about personal experiences So going through the talk the first talk is real-time analytics on it. This is something that we have been doing for about 9 months as of now and we have already solutions which we have deployed So there are two people from MOB open to talk about it. There's Rohan and Pishlet So you can see the presentation first that is up there the second top is on name note have a pretty which is by Suresh universe from Hortonworks as you know Hortonworks was a I would out recently from Yahoo and now they're completely us Supporting the Hadoop platform Then the third top is again from MOB. We have Srikant who is a principal architect at MOB and we have developed So we have at MOB we have been through about five to six iterations over Hadoop implementation that we have done here and This is I think we have grown to such a scale that we now need a complete data management platform and that is when the need for ivory arose and Srikant will talk in detail about that and Finally we have Arun Singh Moorthy who is again Working with Hortonworks and he's going to talk about Hadoop 2.2 and a future of Hadoop. So Arun, I think if A lot of you who are around the Hadoop and the users and Big mailing list you would have seen some of his comments. So I think it's pretty well known in the Hadoop community so over to our first speakers Rohan and Kishne Hey, good evening everyone So we are here to talk about some system we developed on top of HBase Hence the topic of the presentation is real-time analytics on HBase So basically over a span of few years in MOB has grown and so has the volume of events Which flows through a movie system. We grew from one machine to end machines We grew from one data center to multiple data centers But there is one requirement which has remained the same Which is like wanting to have real-time real-time visibility into our system And hence we started to explore various possibilities which are out there So this is this was a basic problem which we had which is like Getting near-time visualization of granular level data This should work at scale And we have multiple producers and multiple streams And we should be able to extend it throughout various streams Which we have since we are across PC. We should we should also be able to manage it so So we started to explore we explore various kind of open source technologies which were out there and Finally after going through a set of iterations What we found we found certain sets certain open source technologies which we thought we could we could leverage and Using that we created this whole pipe which Provides or which answers all these problems which we had so Exploring what we found we use a combination of technologies Which is like we used scribe for log transfer We use edge-based But we used it we're using open time series database This is bytes stumble upon and of course edge-based on top of a do and there after we also use a We used to manage our workflow using OZ So this this is the combination which help us in creating this This whole pipeline and providing our goal real-time view of our systems So how did we do that? So this is the very simple basic architecture, which allowed us and Gave us a free hand allowed us to achieve what we wanted to achieve. So locally we transferred transported all our events using scribe, which is by Facebook within local aggregations wherever possible and then we moved all our aggregated data to a central base so that we have a unified view of our This is what we did and in the central case. We had edge base Through and we varied edge base to give real-time use and the graphs and everything which we wanted to plot using that So this is the central edge base setup, which we have a cluster of machines Open TSD. We also have multiple open TSD instances study and There's a data ingestion happening from this side and there after Using this same interface here also brought in Various events or various aggregated information. This is the basic interface in the central What we have so after doing all this after evaluating such kind of technologies What we manage to achieve? We look at here. We have almost great level granularity and we get Network level this is just a snapshot. This does not represent our real systems Snapshot of what we were able to achieve So minute level, we were able to plot everything whatever was available With a certain latency of course the latency varied from one minute to five minutes But we were able to achieve it and give it so our scale from a million events to a million events We moved on but still we were able to achieve this Listed out So this is this is basically a time So these are the various aggregated methods Different kind of This is a segment which I have so this is a very small snapshot the unit It's a is what it is The real learnings from this product was not only what we achieved The real-time visualization of data But we also helped unlock how we can use HBase to solve business problems in general Like what to do what not to do what type of setup we require What are the best practices that we should do? How to leverage maximum of our HBase So the three main Learnings where how you design schema that fits the business problem How your plans can work efficiently on HBase and Of course, how do you maintain HBase over your production system? so As as you all know we used a open DST for abstracting the schema and the client Inevitably being used in HBase so Open DST schema is a real Geminits own because it really tells how you should design a schema when you are Poting a business solution over HBase So they are broad level of things that you should take care like HBase on its own is very efficient in doing Rain scans it's very efficient when you are doing a bulk put It lacks behind to a certain extent when you are doing either random reads or random writes over it Okay, so And there are other points as well for example if you are keys and the value that you are putting various different sizes Then yes, of course your space will be sub-optimally used So what what the schema in open DST does is it tries to maximize? Maximize the compression maximize the Encoding that you do when you're putting a data so that so that there is minimum amount of repetition of your data based lesser amount of space and You also try to map the very variable size Workset into a fix side fix side So If you see I think it is visible to all of us This is the generic command that you actually Do to put into open DST you put a matrix and then you mention various tags that you want to associate or Index your record with Okay, now these are really useful because when you're querying you can Segregate your data and you can tell okay I want data only for certain tags and I want to aggregate over So that is a general API that you use now When you are when you are looking into the Open DST does it it does it in two phases. It actually builds two tables Well, this is one table and this is another table. So this is an encoding table where they encode all your tags on your matrix into Into an effort of driving fix side or minimum size This table actually does two side mapping one mapping is from your encoded to your verbose and The second mapping is the opposite that is from your verbose key to your encoded now actually when they are storing the Record into space other table. They actually only store the encoded UIDs They don't store the verbose and hence what they do is they're able to Not only Save on wasted space because these encodings are smaller, but also repetitions are avoided. So you really don't waste End number of bytes in storing a key that is very Very frequent. You actually store it using a smaller encoding now. This is a UID table that they create and The next table as it creates The actual fact table where they store all the records So the fact table generally contains the encoded row. The encoded row is in fact connecting all the UID from the previous row and Store one row per hour So for all the combination of your tags, they'll create one row and For each second in that hour, they'll construct as many qualifiers So if you know a bit about HBase, what it does is it's a sparse sorted map multiple levels of lookup where each row key maps to a qualifier and What happens is they carry multiple qualifiers within a particular Volume family. They can be any qualifier. You really do not creation time of HBase. You simply declare your volume family So qualifier is simply what you generate at runtime. So The schema that they have Optimizes on the number of rows that you create. They minimize basically and they leverage the concept of qualifiers So real learnings from here are meant or a real HBase schema should really be optimizing on the reputation and best use case because it's it's important and The number of rows that you create and the number of qualifiers to create should also be well defined Like you should really should not put a million qualifier in the same column family The qualifiers are not sorted and put into HBase. So there is real effort in in doing a scan for the individual qualifiers Okay So for each second there will be one cell stored in HBase each of the rows So the next really Important thing is the client design and what are the strengths of HBase to leverage it really? So open TSP what it does is the real meat of the thing besides the schema is The HBase async client HBase in so they have written a new client to interact with HBase and what they do is Taken the concept from Python Twisted library, which is nothing but for an abstraction where you can hide away the synchronous nature of your underlying API and yet expose a asynchronous It won't do not lock on the synchronous calls that are being made to HBase And hence what you can do is you can multiplex your Request and hence your client responses to come down Okay, so the HBase async client is what they have written it's based on again that Python twisted concept and the client really interact with entity So what you do is you start up entity server you what you do is you You register all the all the callbacks for different commands that Open TSP support and for each of these callbacks you again hook up into HBase async and then interact with HBase So the real ending where that there are multiple ways you can interact with HBase They are really bad ways to do it that are very having very less hurdle to cross So a lot of native users try to do that but to really get power from the platform you will have to Do a bit more of experimentation and figure out what all different clients are there And as you grow into that stack you really start to get So the last last thing and not the least thing that we got from the product was Learning of how to maintain a very stable HBase on your production so if you if you look into the mailing list of HBase user what you will figure out is a lot of people have difficulty in crossing the first hurdle where they get the HBase stable and up and running in their production without Significant down times on aspects like this. So what we figured with Yes, there are few things that you will have to know up front. It's not a black box But those those things are generic enough so that you can use it across your different products Okay, so the first thing that you do is HBase is memory-hungry memory intensive so it caches a lot of information uses memory extensively and It is a JVM based process. So the problems of The huge heat and then corresponding GC collections Really really start nagging after you have run it for significant amount of time so Memory overheads and controlling considering them is a very important task that you should do You should figure out what you should tuning you want to take. It's very trivial once you get it it is it's up and running without any problem and the other problem is with enabling Memslab so What happens is I'll give you a very brief account of like why Memslab is important what it is so Memslab is simply an effort to Distribute your heap into fixed size chunks So that you claim your heap very efficiently you don't create Variable size holes into your heap which will result into your GC portal So Memslab is simply that it's nothing more than that So just just play it simple and chunky fine your Deep into fixed size chunks and then writing variable size record into those fixed size chunks and then reclaiming them as So these two are very important then so what happens is when you update your records or you You delete your records in HBase HBase leaves holes. It is not an active cleanup So you can enable auto cleaners like you can Enable major compactions now major compactions are simply rewriting your store files the files When you wish you are storing your data over Hadoop now they will be having holes So what it will do is it will rewrite them compact them merge them together and prepare a very optimal store, but it is having a lot of overheads, so if your cluster is already bogged down by application load Major compaction the wrong time can have the wrong results on the cluster and then Is the online mergers so online mergers is simply where you have empty regions and you want to remove them So that those empty regions are cleaned up. So what we learned really is we can disable major compactions Automatic major compaction and we run them manually on our own and Online mergers is really a Ruby Need to run Again, there is a bit of learning curve there, but once you figure out how to run online mergers It's really a piece of cake there and then There are other other problems with the number of connections that you have number of clans Now they can be too many connections for too many clans connected to your space You can have significant overheads on number of threads means spawns of other so things like XC with Configuration in data node where you limit really how many thread pool you are maintaining for serving a request It's also very important to to ensure that Your cluster itself is not being walked down by your overhead of Serving the request. It's only Really busy in serving them rather than


Hi and welcome to the session. Let us discuss the following question. Question says, a phase, the cap used by the turks, is shaped like a frustum of a cone. If its radius on the open site is 10 centimeters, radius at the upper base is 4 centimeters and its slant height is 15 centimeters, find the area of the material used for making it. This is the given figure, 13.24. First of all, let us understand that curved surface area of a frustum of a cone is equal to pi multiplied by L multiplied by r1 plus r2, where L is the slant height of the frustum and r1 and r2 are radii of two circular ends of the frustum. We will use this formula as our key idea to solve the given question. Let us now start the solution. We are given that radius of the cap shaped like frustum on the open site is equal to 10 centimeters. Now we know this side of the cap is open, so radius of the circular end that is r1 is equal to 10 centimeters. And we are also given that radius of the cap on the upper base is equal to 4 centimeters. So let us assume that radius of the cap on the upper base is equal to r2 and r2 is equal to 4 centimeters. So we can write radius of the cap on the open site is equal to r1 is equal to 10 centimeters and radius of the cap on the upper base is equal to r2 is equal to 4 centimeters. We are also given that slant height of the frustum that is L is equal to 15 centimeters. So we can write slant height of frustum is equal to L is equal to 15 centimeters. Now from key idea we know curved surface area of frustum of cone is equal to pi multiplied by L multiplied by r1 plus r2. Where L is the slant height of the frustum r1 and r2 are radii of two circular ends. Now we will substitute corresponding values of L r1 and r2 in this expression. Now we get pi multiplied by 15 multiplied by 10 plus 4 centimeters square. Now substituting 22 upon 7 for pi we get 22 upon 7 multiplied by 15 multiplied by 14 centimeters square. We know 10 plus 4 is equal to 14. Now we will cancel common factor 7 from numerator and denominator both and we get curved surface area of frustum is equal to 660 centimeters square. By multiplying these three terms we get 660 centimeters square. Now we know curved surface area of the frustum does not includes area of these two circular ends and we are given that the cap is closed at one end. So we will add area of this circular end in curved surface area of the frustum and we get total area of the material used for making the cap. Now we will find out area of this circle. We know area of circle is equal to pi r square where r is the radius of the circle. Now area of upper circular base of the cap is equal to pi r2 square. Now substituting corresponding value of r2 and pi in this formula we get 22 upon 7 multiplied by square of 4 centimeters square. This is further equal to 352 upon 7 centimeters square. Now we will find area of material used for making the cap. We know it is equal to curved surface area of frustum plus area of upper circular base. Now substituting corresponding values of these two areas in this expression we get 660 plus 352 upon 7 centimeters square is equal to area of material used for making the cap. Now adding these two terms by taking their LCM we get 4620 plus 352 upon 7 centimeters square. Now this is further equal to 4972 upon 7 centimeters square. Now this is further equal to 7102 upon 7 centimeters square. So we get the area of material used for making the cap is equal to 7102 upon 7 centimeters square. This is our required answer. This completes the session. Hope you understood the solution. Take care and have a nice day.


You know, he's on the blogs right now going crazy. I guess he's into it with Jay Prince. Because he didn't, yeah, because he said he didn't pick him up in nothing like Pimpsy got picked up and all that sort of stuff. When you say Pimpsy, that's why you mess up with me. Y'all watch the show. He said he better than Pimpsy. We on Boss Talk 101, 101. Here we go on talk. I appreciate you for always supporting Boss Talk 101. Let's just get on that right there, you know what I'm saying? I appreciate you for pulling up on Boss Talk, man. What do you think about Honeycomb? Let me ask you this, Honeycomb Brazi is out. I'm going to get off this rapper. Honeycomb Brazi got out, and when he got out, he... Something I see, not just Honeycomb Brazi. All these niggas is getting out. Your celebration getting out is something people watch, you know, on the internet, right? Like, if you don't get out right, you know what I mean?  Like, Rollo, when Rollo come out, nigga, this come out is serious. Yeah, am I right? Do you see that, like I see it? Like, if you had somebody getting out, you got to go over there with a jet or something. You got to... It's crazy, bro. Why though? I don't know. I think it's one of the things to celebrate, and I don't know, bro. I don't understand that whole thing with marketing, but I feel like when you get out of jail, you do have to come out with a banger, because the internet moves so fast, people will forget. Like, the Rollo had his moment, now they're going to move on to Honeycomb Brazi, and then they're going to forget him, and then they're going to move on to the... So I just feel like... Go yell for the come on. Go yell for the come on. I'm waiting to see whatever. See what I'm saying?  Is it only for the young kids, though? No, Twisted Black came out, I watched him, too. Twisted Black came out, he didn't come home in no jet, he didn't come home in no nothing big.  Like, we're here at the internet substation waiting, right? They say, what are we going to get? Okay, what is he going to do next? Am I right? I mean, he dropped two of them. I heard that banging, too. Yeah, that went trending, but like. One of them went to the sky, one of them went crazy. The first one went crazy, but you know, he's on the blogs right now going crazy. I guess he's into it with Jay Prince. Because he didn't, yeah, because he said, he didn't pick him up in no, in nothing like Pimpsy got picked up and all that sort of stuff. Wait a minute, when you say Pimpsy, that's why you mess up with me. Y'all watch the show. He said he better than Pimpsy. That's why I did not feel it, and I got a text from allegedly speculated to be him, send it to me, saying, you know, these niggas out here don't know I supported Pimp, and it's a letter that he had been writing about Pimp, but you cannot play with Pimpsy when it comes down to Texas. He's a legend. And when it comes down to music, I'm not saying you, you might be lyrically better, but not as a package, not as a package. Yeah, no, I don't, and I think you can't really compare them. You can't. Two different times, two different, talking about two different, I don't know. I think Pimpsy, like you said, the whole packaging, just, I mean, I don't know. On a rating from, on a rating from one to 10, how hard is Honeycomb to you? About a seven and a half, eight. I like Honeycomb, cause he telling the story. Like anybody telling that story, I can't, I can't hate on it. I mean, he not the best rapper that I heard, but he decent. I like Honeycomb. Cause it's real. I know it's real. When I did my interview with him, he was talking to him, you could just feel it. The energy. Like it's just, you know. Wow. I feel the same way. I think of him. Like he shot his own cousin, he paralyzed his own cousin, I think. He hard. Like, he hard, to me it's just, it's authentic. Yeah. Yeah. Honeycomb is just authentic. But saying you better than Pimp is like. You messed up with that one. You gotta give us some more hits for that. So you think he's just doing that just for the cloud, right? Yeah, he just, he just gonna, he working the internet.  You know what he doing? He know the blog is gonna pick it up. He doing it right. Do you get tired of seeing that? The way how cloud has become such a thing where people are going like to the extremes, just to get exposure and everything. Cause even when you look at. He started a lot of. When you look at what T.I. When you look at what T.I. and his son is going through and what he did at the game, you're like, okay, is that something? And then I look on Facebook and see his older son have an album or a record coming out. So I'm like, is that for that? Or is that real? Or is that? These days you never know. Bro, these days you never know. Tim for the drop too. Cause it's right now. It stops. You these days you never know, bro. Like everything's so internet. Like it's crazy. Like with it, I remember eight years ago, it was like 50% street, 50% internet. You had the street niggas on Facebook. They wasn't blogging. Nowadays everything's so advanced. Everything's so fast. Everything's super internet. Like you don't know what's real or not these days. So. Wow. Man, you brought Rain want to say Big Yavo fell off. Do you think he fell off? Big Yavo? Yes. He gone. Just because you fall off, don't mean you can't bounce back, but I definitely think people get tired of the three minute rap songs. No hook, just straight rapping through. Now is Big Yavo a good rapper? Yes. But at certain times you gotta elevate his levels. You gotta elevate.  Are you opinionated? What do you like to eat? Are you going live? People want to see that from you. After a while doing all them same song straight through, it just get boring after a while. You're not really telling us anything. You know what I'm saying? Just rapping, just rapping. Nah, we don't see rappers like that will never pack out arenas. Wow. And it's, you tell me one rapper who can make a record to, and these are great, good rappers. They just don't know how to make songs. They're great rappers, but they don't know how to make records, real records that are gonna get played on the radio that can, that any demographic can listen to.  You're not gonna make money like that for a long time. ESTG did it for a minute, and it just, it gets old. You have to make records, it's levels. And you know, a lot of them for Worthcatch. Great, good rappers can rap.  Yeah, yeah, I heard that.  None of them have millions of dollars off music because they're not good records. They don't make you feel no type of way. Music is how I make you feel. Does it make me want to get some money? Does it make me sad? Does it make me happy? Does it make me, you something saying? Yeah. Does it motivate me to get out the bed in the morning to make money? That music doesn't make you feel. Music is about feeling. You something saying? Yeah. That's why Sauce Walker starting to get his flyers now. People didn't like Sauce in the beginning because he was super, people hate when rappers say that you still in a style and you try to take credit for everything. So in the beginning, people didn't like Sauce because he was coming at everybody's favorite rapper, Drake, Young Thug. But now if you go listen to Sauce Walker's records, it's soulful, make you feel some type of way and make you want to, a lot of these rappers, I know I'm rambling right now, but Big Yabo was like, if I listened to one of his songs one time, I don't want to go back and listen to it again.  You want to go back and listen to it.     Yeah. You know what I'm saying? It's empty calories. Big Yabo, like I said, I really didn't get a lot of people say it all. He gets to plug, you know. And people gotta stop. They try to compare him to Big Yabo. But people, not to cut y'all, people gotta stop putting Big Yabo on the island because he's not, it's 20 rappers, that fell off because they couldn't. Why we putting Big Yabo off like that? Yeah, that's real. We can't put him out there by himself like that. A lot of these cats don't know how to make records and it's not just Big Yabo.  Big Yabo.    Yeah, he done. What made him pick Big Yabo? And it's just like a lot of people that fell off, man. And it's like, cause y'all aren't making good records and I'm not here to call nobody out because everybody is only one song away still from millions of dollars. It only takes one hit.


So taxpayers must report this income on their federal tax return for the 2020 tax year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There was a temporary exclusion of up to $10,200 of unemployment compensation per person, but this specific relief was unique to 2020 and does not apply for tax years 2023 unless new legislation is enacted. So in other words, there was that weird glitch which could still stick in people's minds, people often lag in their thinking of the tax code and so we're kind of back to normal at this point in time which is basically you would have to include it in income. So withholding and estimated payments, tax withholdings, individuals can choose to have federal income tax withheld from their unemployment benefits at the time they apply for them. This can help avoid large tax bill when filing their annual tax return. So again, the question comes up, how much should you withheld or how should you have withholdings or not? You might do an actual estimate to basically help you out to determine that answer. Estimate a tax payments. So if no taxes were withheld or if the withholding is not sufficient, recipients may need to make estimate a tax payments to cover the expected tax liability on their unemployment compensation along with other taxable income. So what if you worked for part of the year, got laid off or something or taxpayer did and then they didn't withhold from the unemployment, the unemployment becomes significant. Well, now you're in a situation where you still want to pay the government before you file the return. If you wait to file the return and you owe taxes, then you'll probably have to pay the taxes, but you'll also be hit with the penalties and interest, which is the sticks that we're trying to avoid. So then you might have to, you might just make estimated tax payments. The question being, how do I know how much to pay? And you're going to have to run an estimate to do that. And you could use irs.gov has an estimator tool that's pretty good. It's basically projection software, or you can try to use actual tax software, which you might be able to get access. We have a video, we did a presentation on some of the free resources from the IRS. So you might be able to look at tax software to get an idea of how much you will owe so that you can calculate the proper amount of tax withholdings or estimated payments to make to try to avoid penalties and interest. So special considerations due to the economic impact of events like the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been temporary changes to the taxation of unemployment benefits. For instance, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 included a provision that allowed for the exclusion of up to $10,200 of unemployment compensation for taxable income for the year 2020 for households with adjusted gross income under $150,000. It's crucial to stay informed about anti-temporary changes or relief measures related to the taxation of unemployment compensation, as these can significantly impact tax liability. All right, line seven, let's just take a look at the line instructions. Where do these go? We've got line seven unemployment compensation. So you should receive the form 1099G showing in box one of that form. The total unemployment compensation paid to you in 2023 report this amount on line seven.


I am sorry, I have to request a couple of people to join us on the dais, please. Ambrishji, Ambrish Prabhuji to join us, please. Dr. DeDroid, if you could just join us, please. If you would like to buy us, keep them inside. If you want people on the sides, sitting on the sides, please do not get up. A better one. For the unveiling of the world's largest Gita, this is one astounding book which has just done wonders. It's just an amazing tribute to Srila Prabhupada. So today, I think without further ado, we'll just quickly jump into the program. First and foremost, can I actually request Sri Maddussevi Tadasji to join us on stage and give his address? So, I'd say that since time immemorial, obscure forces have tried to consign Sanatan Dharma to the grave of oblivion. But Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita says, So, whenever there is a decline, whenever and wherever, there is a decline of religious principles and the rise of your religion, And he appeared and dispelled all illusion for Arjuna and for us. Some say that Krishna is gone, but Krishna is not gone. Krishna is present in the form of the Bhagavad Gita. He is here with us and his ambassador, Shri La Prabhupada, has brought the science of Sanatan Dharma, the science of Bhagavad Gita to us, a technologically advanced animalistic civilization. We were like animals, but Prabhupada brought us up to the human platform. And as a tribute to him, we have tried to make this largest sacred book in the world, not only a large Bhagavad Gita, but a largest sacred book in the world. Now, two years ago when we started thinking about this and we thought, oh, how are we going to print it? How is it going to be possible? And someone tears a page. Someone tears a page. What's going to happen? Are they going to cut his hands or something? Gopal Krishna Maharaj is going to cut off his hand if he tears a page. So we have to find a way to print it that nobody can tear a page. And even if water goes on it, nothing happens. So I looked and looked and went to Japan. I called America. I said, I called America. I said, I want to make a book. I heard you have this un-terrible paper. He said, yes, we have. How big is the book? I said, 2.84 meters by two. So the man says, are you calling from Italy to make fun of me? Don't you have enough people in Italy to make fun of? I said, no, it's true. He said, we don't have such a big machine. But they built up a machine in Dusandov just to make the paper for this book. And you know how much printed matter is on this book? One acre is one acre of printed matter on one book. Then the cover, you know, we looked at material, you know, the cover, if it had been wood, that weighted like 3-400 kg, just the cover. So we found satellite material, a material they use for satellites, you know, and the cover is made of that. It's covered with Alcantara, which is a cloth used for Lamborghini cars, which is, you know, and on the top you'll see on the cover the material, laser and great precious metal. It weights 800 kg, but it's nothing compared to the weight of our spiritual master. He is the real guru. His weight is enormous and his weight on the culture of humanity is undescribably heavy. So I want to end the war. There wasn't better occasion that such a devotee like Prime Minister Modi to inaugurate it. I'm thrilled. Two years of blood, sweat and tears were, you know, they vanished in one second when I saw Mr. Modi coming in. And we wish that him and all the wonderful devotee of Bharat Varsha will take a veil of this wonderful book. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you, Prabhuji. Prabhuji, Madhu Sivita Das Ji is also Governing Body Commissioner for ISKCON. May I now request Shri Gopal Krishna Maharaj Ji to join us on stage and address the gathering. He is the Chairman for the ISKCON Bureau and Governing Body Commissioner of ISKCON. Gopal Shri Maharaj Ji. Hail Krishna. Mr. Modi has come here. He is very busy. And he has said that we have to go quickly. So we are very grateful that our Prime Minister has come here today. A few months ago I met Mr. Modi. I told him that our society is making a big Geeta which is the largest in the world. We want to gather here. So Mr. Modi said to bring the book. He will come. So I am his nephew. He has followed what he had said. And Modi's memory is very sharp. As soon as I met him, he said that I have fulfilled my promise. So we are his nephew. Shri Prabhupada. He was the first in the English language of Bhagavad Gita. He has been in the English language for more than 60 years. And in the whole world, people are supporting Bhagavad Gita. The message that is in the Geeta is a sign for the entire human society. And you will be happy to know that in the last 50 years, about 6 crore Geetas have been distributed in the whole world. And Mr. Prabhupada gave about 80 books. In the whole world, in the last 50 years, about 60 crore Geetas have been distributed in the whole world. So Mr. Prabhupada's wish was to spread this ancient culture. And Mr. Prabhupada gave a good message in the whole world. So Bhagavad Gita's message is a sign for the entire world. Today, we see people's worries, worries, anxiety and anxiety in the society. All these problems can be solved by reading the Gita. And through the devotees of this Gita, we do Gita Contest, where millions of students do Gita Contest in the whole world. Mr. Prabhupada's wish was to spread the Gita in the whole world. Since childhood, people will read the Gita. They will read it with a good reader. This is a good sign for the whole world. This is a very good sign. And through the Gita, you can get a clean heart too. And we don't want to waste time. Mr. Prabhupada is in a hurry. I am grateful to him that even in this weather, when there is so much pressure, whenever he comes, he should serve the Lord. This is the wish of the Lord. The Lord will open everything for him, so that he can raise the responsibility to give the country a better life. Thank you, Mr. Prabhupada. Thank you very much, Mr. Prabhupada. Thank you, Mr. Prabhupada. Thank you very much, Mr. Prabhupada. Today is a very important day. This morning, I took part in the work of Gandhi Shanti Puraskara. And right now, I am getting the opportunity to participate in the Gita of the Divine Gita. This opportunity is more important for me because I am standing in a place where, two decades ago, Atal Vihari Vajpayee Jinesh Mandir Parishad was honored. The Gita of the Divine Gita of the World, is three meters long and eight hundred kilos. This is not just because of its shape. In fact, until centuries, the world has been given great knowledge of India as a symbol and a symbol of India. To make this Gita, what kind of connection did you all have with your entire civilization and civilization? This Gita is the symbol of the devotion of Bhagwan Shri Krishna and Swami Prabhupada. For this extraordinary effort, all of you are in the hands of Badhai. As a symbol of India and a symbol of Divine Knowledge, the interest and interest of the world will increase. Along with this, many efforts have been made to make Bhagwan Shri Krishna the symbol and symbol of India. From the smallest Gita, to the greatest Gita, to make this Divine Knowledge easy and easy, many efforts have been made. In many foreign languages, Bhagwat Gita has been celebrated. Friends, the people believe that Mr. Tilak of the Bhagwan Ganga has written the Gita secret by staying in jail. In this, Mr. Tilak of the Bhagwan Ganga has made it very easy to make it easy. He has written that the effect of the Gita's message is not limited to the talks of the scholars of Darsini. In fact, even in the area of thought of the achar, he is always a living, awake, and wise. People believe that Tilak has sent the Gita's knowledge to the society. And he has also experienced it in Gujarati. This Gujarati experience was read by the Rajapita Mahatma Gandhi in jail. And Mr. Gandhi received a lot of help in writing the Gita according to Gandhi. Through this discussion, Mr. Gandhi put another side of the Gita in front of the world. This book by Gandhi, I gave it to the former president of the United States, Suman Barak Obamaji in the form of Uphar. Sathya Srimad Bhagwat Gita. The world of India is the most passionate Uphar. The Gita is the source of the whole world. The Gita has been popular for thousands of years. From the leaders of the world to the human beings, to everyone, the Gita has decided to do a lot of work. In almost every house in India, in some form or another, Bhagwat Gita is the president. Even the world's many great beings could not live without it. From knowledge to science, the inspiration of many people in every region, is said on the land of Kurukshetra. Friends, the famous German philosopher Schopenhauer had written, with the help of the Gita and the Uphunisat, there is no more inspiration in the complete world. The one who made my life peaceful and gave my death the trust of infinite peace. He said these things at that time when our country had a fight among the slaves. Our culture and our tradition were also trying to do something. India was trying to show this vision down. Friends, the world has done a great effort to make the world aware of India's ancient science and purity. Many students and devotees have also done this. Srilav Bhakti Vedaan Swami Prabhupada himself had contributed to Bhagwat Gita. The way Gita and Satyagra have been the most important part of life, similarly, for Swamiji these two paths of human service have always been free. This is the reason that he had taken part in India's independence and after the independence of the country he left the world on the brim. With his strong will he faced all kinds of challenges. He made a statement like this which today has been rejected to introduce the world. Friends, Gita is religious and it is also a religious tradition. We are of any country and we are of any religion but every day there are problems. Whenever we stand on the brim like Veer Arjun on the brim then in the Bhagwat Gita we show the solutions to these problems If you are a student and you are of any religion you are of any country or you are a yogi who is in charge of salvation you will get the answer to your every question in the Bhagwat Gita. I believe that Gita is the biggest manual book of human life. The solution to every problem of life is found somewhere in Gita. Now, the Lord has said Paritranaya Sadhuna Bunaasaya Chaduskrata Dharma Samstabh Nartha Sambhavani Yuga Yuga Means from others from the enemies of humanity to save the earth the power of the Lord is always with us. This is the message we are trying to give the wrong souls and the wrong deeds to the whole universe. Brothers and sisters when the Lord says why do you worry so much why do you fear so much who can kill you what did you bring and what will you bring then in your own you will find a way to serve yourself to serve the nation Brothers and sisters we have tried to make every decision of the government in every direction to be righteous to be sincere to be strong to be good to be good to be good to be good to be good to be good to be good whether the actions of the people or the actions of the poor are our efforts to try to remove the politics because of our own efforts Brothers and sisters the government has always been confident that India is the country India is the tradition there are many problems in the world there are problems there are problems of families there are problems related to family there are such challenges that the world is living the solution is in India's vision the importance of yoga and Ayurveda to be recognized in the world and in it the society like you and the support of many saints of the country our government has given a great voice whose contribution today for health and wellness the world is rapidly getting attracted to yoga and Ayurveda Friends, I also have to believe that yoga with Ayurveda with our ancient knowledge and knowledge to be recognized in the world in the correct way is very much left our government is left to come in front of the world from all of you with our ancient knowledge and knowledge related to all actions this will be the desire that it will give more power and new generation with research the government is always ready for your help once again what is the connection to every devotee to every Indian to every person in the world for this divine Bhagavad Gita you have made me very very grateful you have invited me here you have made me a part of this holy house for this I am very grateful to all of you Thank you very much Hare Krishna if you are on the side please


Item Number – SCP-008 Object Class – Euclid Special Containment Procedures – SCP-008 samples have been deemed Class 5 Extreme Biological Hazards, and all related protocols apply. Incineration and irradiation measures will be deployed in the event of political or military action, which may result in the facility being dismantled, a power failure, or zero communications from operatives or outside channels during any given eight-hour period. The quarantine period for operatives leaving the facility is four months. If a breach has occurred, incineration and irradiation measures shall be deployed. It should be the policy of all G2 sites to not prepare an evacuation procedure. Description – SCP-008 is a complex prion, samples of which are stored in each of the known G2 sites. Research into SCP-008 is highly classified, and primarily aimed at preventing research which may lead to the synthesis of SCP-008 in the distant future. Traits of the SCP-008 prion include 100% infectiousness, 100% lethality, transmission through exposed mucus membranes and all bodily fluids, not airborne or waterborne, symptoms of infection with SCP-008 manifest no more than three hours after exposure, and include flu-like symptoms with high fever plus severe dementia in later stages, coma onset approximately 20 hours after first symptoms appear and 12 hours after noticeable dementia, coma onset will be considered onset of death. A period of sporadic cellular necrosis occurs which comes to resemble gangrene, surviving tissue assumes its original function and is highly resilient. Red blood cells greatly increase oxygen storage capacity, resulting in slower blood flow and increased muscle endurance and strength. Nervous and muscular systems are unaffected by total organ failure for several hours. Metabolism may decrease to extremely low levels, allowing subject to survive for over 10 years without nutrition. High blood viscosity results in negligible blood flow from gunshot, puncture, and slashing injuries.  Animals experience excessive brain necrosis and are inactive. Subject can adapt to its damaged nervous systems but is limited to basic physical activities including standing up, balancing on two legs, walking, biting, grabbing, and crawling. Subject will energetically move towards sights, sounds, and smells it associates with living humans. Subject will attempt to ingest living humans if physical contact is made. Neutralizing fully infected subjects require significant cranial trauma. There is strong evidence to suggest SCP-008 itself did not form naturally on Earth since variants of similar complexity would have displaced much of the ecosystem. In 1959, a short collaborative effort with the USSR to locate G2 sites and eliminate SCP-008 was negotiated following their discovery. The status of SCP-008 in Russian custody since collaboration ended is unknown. Addendum 008-1, SCP-500 has been found to be able to completely cure SCP-008 even in the advanced stages of the disease. Lesson complete. If you missed the previous orientation, go watch SCP-007, Abdominal Planet, right now. Or for the complete course, watch this playlist.


Live from Las Vegas, it's theCUBE, covering AWS re-invent 2018.  Okay, welcome back everyone. Live here in Las Vegas for AWS Amazon Web Services, re-invent 2018. I'm John Furrier with Dave Vellante. Dave, our sixth year covering AWS. We've been to all the re-invents, except for the original one, watching the progress of cloud computing, and it's a lot of new things happening, more compute, more power. For here, our special guest, Ray Jean Schiller, who's also known as RJ, inside Intel, vice president of the data center group, and the general manager of the cloud service provider, platform group at Intel, good to see you again. Nice to see you again. So we have a headline on SiliconANGLE.com right now, in a blockbuster move, Amazon jumps into the data center on both feet, which really validates kind of some of the commentary we've been seeing on theCUBE for many, many years, and our analysts and you guys are involved in the data center. The data center's still going to be a big part of computing. It's not going away. That's your business, and the cloud service provider, which is also growing. So, take a minute, explain. It is growing. I've been personally covering the private cloud, or public cloud at Intel for a decade. And when I started, I'm not sure I had any concept how big this was going to be. And the one thing I'm positive about is we're just still at the beginning, because every use case you see, all the development, all the IoT, all the business transformation, we're just starting, right? So this is a good place to be, but there's more coming. And if I look at just 2018, I'm a little competitive at work, but we were proud to announce earlier this year at the end of the summer that the cloud is now 43% of the data center group's revenue. So, coming from when I started 10% or something like that little, it's now to be the number one contributor. And we've, in the first half of the year, had a 43% year of revenue growth. This industry is booming. And I wish I could say it was my hard doing, but I mean, if you come to an event like this, you know why it's growing. And the TAM is increasing, the total market availability with the cloud is requiring more and more horsepower. You got the IoT edge, you got the data center, you got the cloud, and software is being written specifically to take advantage of something. So, huge market opportunity still. What are some of the innovations?  You start to see specialized things, the general purpose, compute is not going away, storage, compute, networking, still very important. You got FPGAs out there, amazing amount of opportunities. Where's the innovation? You know, and you hit so much of it, and I really agree with some of the comments you made. It started off for us with silicon technology, but what a lot of people don't know is we have core compute, network, storage, FPGAs, purpose-built accelerators, and we can create custom basics for any one of our customers. We also have a unique availability to not only just customize uniquely, but you talked about the many different use cases from edge to data center. It's because every workload demands a different set of technology capability if you want true optimization at the TCO per TCO level. And so that's why it's so important for us to work with customers like Amazon, not just to customize one skew, but many skews. And you know, I was surprised at this number. Out of our latest Xeon processor, the Intel Xeon scalable processor, there's actually 54 instances on just that one CPU generation alone. And 51 of those are from a custom CPU that were tailored for unique workloads and instance types. So that's part of it. But you also talked about the software and that's another thing I think people think Intel's a hardware company. Okay, we make hardware. We're a huge software company, thousands of engineers. And what I love about my job is I built a team and call them the Cloud Ninjas, but they're software and hardware engineers that go on site with customers. And whether it's performance tuning and optimization or we are co-creating cloud services, new cloud services with our customers that innovation up and down the stack is, you know, that's where real innovation can happen. Two heads together, not just one. So the cloud is now the number one consumer of your technologies. There were a lot of misconceptions early on about the cloud. Everybody thought, okay, the cloud's going to be just one big cloud. It's actually quite diverse. It's global in scale, it's a services business which has always been sort of fragmented and global. Despite Amazon's dominance and infrastructure as a service, the data center itself, the players are kind of consolidating, which is kind of interesting. So how has cloud affected the way in which you guys look at the market, go to market? Everybody also thought everything was going to be standard off-the-shelf components in the early days of cloud, now you're driving toward customization. So what's happening there? What are the big measures? Yeah, I think we learned a lot along the way. You're right. One of the things, I mean, these cloud service providers are pushing me off the roadmap. They want more than we can deliver. So that's where we bring so much in hand to do about it. But I'd say, well, a lot of big players are getting bigger. The market is still really in a healthy way diversified. The Super7, as we call them, the world's largest, they're growing fast, about 35% around the world. The next wave around the world are growing almost as fast, about 25, 27%. Consumers has already been, you know, Twitter's and Facebook's and Uber's, right, has been a large part of the cloud. It's now 50-50 with business, and they're both growing at the same caggers going forward. So you're going to see the diversity, not just big players, but also small, not just consumers, but business services. And then that's finding a lot of global growth and a lot of, if you see the wall of logos in any Amazon presentation, it's because they have partners all over the world. Reggie, and I want to get your perspective. I talked about this a couple of years ago on theCUBE about the power law distribution of cloud providers on the top of the head is the big guys, and then it kind of narrows down. But then I was predicting a cloud service provider market was going to expand. And I want to get your thoughts because that's kind of happening now. You're kind of saying, but I want to get specific on this. You got core cloud, Amazon's of the world. Then you got hybrid cloud, kind of data center. Then you got the business cloud, business SaaS. Salesforce, Twitter, you mentioned those guys. They run clouds and enterprises are now going to be cloudified with on-prem and all this commonality between them. This is changing the nature of the business. Do you see it that way and talk about this business cloud? It's not competing with core cloud. It's just an expansionary. It's so interesting because there is certainly some competition or cannibalization within the cloud. But what I tend to see is whichever part of this, cause you'll hear like a business SaaS company, oh, some of it's running in the cloud, some of it's running on their own premise. They're doing that for a reason and both are growing. And then you talk about like infrastructure service, but what really happens, especially when an NMRI moves their business into the cloud, there is some part of it that's just a move day to be. But what we're finding is about 30% of it is TAM expansive because there are things that when you move to an Amazon or you move to another cloud service provider or take a mature SaaS provider, right? There are just things that they can do that you never would have been able to do in your own IT shop. So that's driving TAM expansion on top of it. That's also creating a lot of new market entry points for new businesses to come in and innovate around security offerings, verticalized offerings, geo-based specialized offerings. So, yes, there's some friendly co-op addition, but even when I ask somebody who would say they might be the little challenger to a big infrastructure service player, they say, but you know what, we actually get so much business by working with them too. It's hard for me to say, are they competition or partner, right? That's the industry we live in. The co-creation, you mentioned that earlier, a big part of it. And the other big TAM expander is you've got the data, you've got AI and machine learning. You've got the cloud for scale, and then you got Edge. And these are not, it's not a zero-sum game where you're moving stuff from the data center into the cloud. I mean, these are all incredible. New, all new. So what are you seeing there? Yeah, and I'm really excited about the Edge. One, for me, it kind of feels like that next uncharted frontier. Everybody's investing. Everybody's doing amazing things. We're getting the 5G out. We're getting better technologies. We're learning how to store data and move it faster and quicker and cheaper. We're getting set up, but the use cases are just yet to be really fully defined. And I'll be honest, when I look at my market modeling over the next five to 10 years, I always put a little disclaimer. This does not comprehend what's going to happen when billions of devices come online and we activate. So I think when people say it's a cloud, oh, it's been going so fast, it's going to just slow down. I'm like, why? Because innovation's not stopping. I think you nailed a point that we try to clarify on theCUBE here is that a lot of people are misunderstanding what cloud is and what cloud service provider is. As it grows, it's a rising tide, floats all boats. So everyone tries to squint through, oh, they're winning in the market share here and there. It's just a different game changing. So that's a great point. I want to, as we get rid of the end of the segment here, get you a chance to talk about the relationship with Intel. You guys, again, cloud service providers growing, big part of your business, but you guys been working with Amazon for a long time. Talk about the relationship between Intel and AWS. Yeah, it is, it's a privilege to be able to, these, the folks at a company like Amazon and specifically the ones at Amazon I work with, they have the ability obviously to track some of the most amazing talent in the industry and these people move fast. And they have a lot of choice. And you can either be there with them ahead of them and do the customization and differentiate them and give them what they need or they're going to leave you in the dust. So I'd like to say we have a great partnership because they've given us the honor over 12 years and we have so many from the data center to the edge, the car, the racer car, deep lens, so many things we're doing together, SageMaker or machine and deep learning. But it's a, if we slow down even for a bit, we're going to get left behind and so my job is to just keep running and trying to get ahead of them and every time I think I get there, you know they come, no, but we're working together. So it's a great challenging partnership but one that I can guarantee there's better innovation from Intel coming out of it because of getting the opportunity to work with Amazon. And you guys are contributing to them too. It's a good win-win scenario. I believe so. They said some really nice things about us at the show about our platforms and technologies. I mean we're, our products, seven generations of our products are in, they're in, we're in every availability zone, every instance, right? We're just, we've got a great position. Well congratulations on the business performance. I love the cloud service provider expansion. Love the data center focus that's really relevant and acknowledging by Amazon that's good news to see and just great stuff and thank you guys for your partnership with the Cube. We're here at the Cube, Intel Cube, Intel's big sponsor of the Cube, really appreciate that. I'm John from Dave Vellante. Stay with us for more AWS coverage, reinvent our six year in a row. I covered all the action, all the value being created. Stay tuned for more after this short break.
