Firms face three main decisions: (1) quantity of output to supply, (2) production technique to use, and (3) quantity of inputs to demand. These decisions are based on the price of output, available production techniques, and input prices.
In the short run, firms have fixed costs that do not depend on output level. They also have variable costs that vary with output. Total cost is the sum of total fixed and total variable costs. Marginal cost is the change in total cost from producing one additional unit. It reflects changes in variable costs only. As a firm approaches its short-run capacity, marginal costs will ultimately increase with output.
Unit 1 review_session
The document provides an overview of basic economic concepts. It discusses:
- Economics is the study of how individuals and societies deal with scarcity. Scarcity means that resources are limited and our wants are unlimited, so we must make choices about how to use resources.
- Microeconomics studies small economic units like individuals and firms, while macroeconomics looks at the overall economy. Positive economics makes factual statements, while normative economics includes value judgments.
- The production possibilities curve (PPC) model shows the tradeoffs between producing different goods given limited resources. Points on the PPC are productively efficient, while the optimal point depends on societal wants.
- Comparative advantage explains why countries

The past, present and future of accessibility - niche to nice to normal
Accessibility, and the assistive technologies that enable it, are slowly going mainstream. Innovations originally designed to help disabled people are becoming fundamental parts of the future of user interfaces, like the use of voice recognition and text to speech in Siri's conversational interfaces. In this talk, Jonathan Hassell looks at some of the current technologies that have arisen from considering the needs of disabled people, and how the lessons learned from thinking about edge-case user needs could train us for creating innovative personal digital products for everyone in the future
Accessibility Myths for the Mobile Generation (HCID Open 2015)
This document challenges common myths about web and mobile accessibility. It discusses that:
1) Mobile accessibility is important because disabled users increasingly access the web via mobile devices which may be their only option.
2) Accessibility benefits all users, not just disabled users, as impairments can be temporary for anyone.
3) Following WCAG guidelines helps but should not replace user research as technologies change.
4) Text is more accessible than images for many disabled users such as those with visual impairments or dyslexia.
Accessibility innovation through gestural and sign-language interfaces
The document discusses accessibility innovation through natural user interfaces. It provides examples of projects using gesture recognition technologies like Microsoft Kinect to develop sign language recognition and movement games for blind and visually impaired children. The examples emphasize user-centered design approaches that involve representative users to understand needs and iteratively test prototypes. Focusing on accessibility was found to open opportunities to benefit broader audiences. Inclusive design approaches that listen to diverse users can identify challenges leading to innovative solutions.

7 Signs of Maturing in Accessibility and Inclusion
CSUN 2014 talk by Professor Jonathan Hassell describing models for assessing the maturity of accessibility practice - within organisations and in the field as a whole - discussing how they can be used to measure the maturing of the whole accessibility profession that shows signs of happening around us.
Accessibility myths for a mobile generation
Some of our key accessibility ideas are back to front. The most important aspect of the accessibility of images isn't 'alt-text'. The number of disabled people who use assistive technologies is tiny compared with those who don't. And for many people video is more accessible than text, not less accessible.
In this CSUN 2014 talk, Professor Jonathan Hassell exposes 16 foundational things that all advocates “know” about accessibility as myths, using real user-research to show how they need to be replaced to properly serve today’s tablet and mobile-obsessed disabled and older users.
Accessibility as Innovation - giving your potential users the chance to inspi...
Many organisations seem to fear that making their products accessible means dumbing them down: they might then work for everyone, but they will lose a lot of their pizzazz in the process.
In this eAccess-13 presentation Jonathan Hassell presents the contrary view - that organisations that really look into the different needs of their disabled audiences often find this breaks them out of fixed positions, allowing them to take innovative leaps in product design.
Using examples from the typewriter to the iPhone classic ‘Zombies, Run!’ and his own recent projects involving the Microsoft Kinect games controller, Jonathan guides you through a way of thinking about product development which is inclusive, creative and potentially very lucrative.
Design for all vs. Design for me: the limits of Inclusive Design
Jonathan Hassell is an expert in accessibility and inclusion with over 12 years of experience. He discusses the differences between universal design, which aims to be usable and accessible to all, and personalized design, which can tailor experiences to individual needs and preferences. While universal design has benefits, personalized design allows for more flexibility and creativity to meet different users where they are. Hassell is writing a book that provides case studies and guidance to help organizations implement accessible and usable design for all of their customers in an efficient way. It will include examples from global accessibility experts on transforming organizations.

This document discusses reframing the conversation around accessibility to focus on strategic inclusion and business benefits rather than risk mitigation. It advocates using the BS 8878 framework to embed accessibility into organizational processes and make all staff responsible. The framework addresses common challenges like costs, measurement, innovation constraints, and defines roles and responsibilities. It argues for choosing the right guidelines and building better websites through an inclusive design approach.
Policy Driven Adoption of Accessibility - CSUN 2013
Recent G3ict and US government reports suggest that current our models for encouraging ICT accessibility adoption are not working. Using examples from the UK, Canada's AODA, and the State of Texas, in this CSUN 2013 presentation Jeff Kline and Jonathan Hassell discuss whether a Policy-Driven Adoption approach might help.
Checking Our Footing: 16 Modern Accessibility Myths Debunked
Many of the things accessibility advocates believe are out of date. Yes, the web industry has loads of myths about accessibility which we constantly need to battle. But some of the understanding of accessibility advocates is equally flawed.
In this talk to a11yLDN 2012 I challenge some of the accepted assumptions many of us hold that I believe are really not serving us, or the disabled and elderly people we are trying to help, well at all. In their place I detail some more researched, more effective findings from which to continue to grow our influence in the web community.

uKinect Gesture Recognition Games for Disabled People
Can games technologies like Kinect prove useful in helping people with learning difficulties to communicate?
In this presentation from Digital Shoreditch (#ds12) Jonathan Hassell - co-lead of uKinect - gives a brief glimpse into how uKinect is helping young people who use Makaton to improve their signing, and helping other people who do not sign to understand signing.
He also highlights the potential for technologies that are designed to help disabled people to often break into the mainstream as innovative new directions in product design.
How BS8878 relates to WCAG 2.0, PAS 78, Mandate 376 and UCD Standards
An updated summary of BS8878 from its lead author, Jonathan Hassell. Including: how it relates to international standards on accessibility (WCAG 2.0 and ISO 9241-210), usability and user-centred design; and how it allows you to embed accessibility concerns into production processes.
It also provides information on how the Standard updates the older PAS 78 UK specification that it supersedes, and how it relates to work on the forthcoming EU accessibility procurement standard Mandate-376.
More information, including case studies of organisations using BS 8878, detailed blogs on its use by SMEs, tools and training for applying the Standard, and news on its progress towards becoming an International Standard can be found at
http://www.hassellinclusion.com/bs8878/
How BS8878 brings together usability & accessibility
Accessibility is all about checklists, HTML and assistive technologies. Its only impact on User Experience is to stop designers from being creative.
Sometimes, you'd be forgiven for thinking that those two statements are true.
Professor Jonathan Hassell has spent much of his last three years disproving them, both at the BBC and in other organisations, and coding how accessibility should be seen in the context of user-centred design into BS 8878.
In this presentation from Camp Digital Manchester 2012 he shows how BS 8878 provides a framework for helping UX professionals embed accessibility considerations into their work, how it can empower and free them from onerous constraints, how it can challenge them to be more creative, and how the results can benefit all users, not just those with disabilities.
eAccessibility: Compliance towards Innovation
Why is eAccessibility always thought about in terms of compliance with standards like WCAG?
What happens when you consider the needs of disabled and elderly people as a challenge to be more innovative?

Case studies of implementing BS 8878 (CSUN 2012)
Why is embedding web accessibility into your organisation's culture and processes so important? And what do organisations who have done this using BS 8878 say are the benefits? In this presentation Jonathan Hassell, the Standard's lead-author, answers these questions and poses one of his own: should BS 8878 become an International Standard, and if so, how?
Back to the Future: Current and Future Trends for Accessibility
The document discusses the challenges of accessibility across different devices and platforms. It notes that most disabled users cannot afford or figure out how to use assistive technologies. The future of accessibility needs to be simple, flexible, context-aware and able to provide a joined-up experience across multiple devices. Standards have had successes but also gaps, and innovation is needed to make accessibility ubiquitous and ensure inclusion for all.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
