My talk to the joint OECD/G20 German Presidency conference on digitalization in Berlin on January 12, 2017. Fitness landscapes as applied to technology, business, and the economy. Note that the fitness landscape slides will not be animated in this PDF, which I shared this way so that you could see my narrative in the speaker notes. While it has some slides in common with my White House Frontiers conference talk, it includes a bunch of other material.
The job interview was born in 1921, when Thomas Edison created a written test to evaluate job candidates' knowledge.
Since then, the process has come a long way.
The AIs Are Not Taking Our Jobs...They Are Changing ThemTim O'Reilly
My talk at the Web Summit in Dublin on November 6, 2014. Reflections on the notion that AI will take away jobs, and our need to recognize and redefine the human role in the applications we build. Covers many of the same ideas as my "Internet of Things and Humans" talk, but from a slightly different angle.
This is a presentation that offers a basic introduction to Silicon Valley's computer and Internet industries. It offers brief glances at the history, current business and future of this California community.
My keynote at Velocity New York (#VelocityConf) on September 17, 2014. The failure of healthcare.gov was a textbook DevOps (or rather, lack of DevOps) case study. But it’s part of a wider pattern that reminds us that people should be at the heart of everything we build. In fact, getting the “people” part right is the key both to DevOps and great user experience design. It runs from the Internet of Things right through building government services that really work for citizens.
The slides present some of the research from a new book, The New Polymath - which is excerpted and reviewed at www.thenewpolymath.com . Polymath is Greek for Renaissance Person good at many disciplines. It's about how enterprises are learning to put together 3,5, 15 strands of infotech, cleantech, biotech etc to create compound innovations - new algorithms, new energy and new medicine
This deck provides an overview of the history of Silicon Valley, mainly as it pertains to the high-tech sector.
There are also a few slides on SAP in Silicon Valley, as the company has a big presence in Palo Alto and is very involved in the local community.
This is the final product of my project for the course "Internet Project" at Telecom ParisTech.
During the first part of my project, I read some books about startups and Silicon Valley (references on the last slide) as well as websites and blogs.
Then, I made this presentation which is mostly about Silicon Valley and how it became the heart of the world's innovation.
I hope you'll enjoy.

Low Level Somatic Variant Detection by Sanger Sequencing of FFPE Samples for ...Thermo Fisher Scientific
DNA sequence variants play an important role in the initiation and progression of many different cancer types. The detection of germline variants at a fixed ratio by gold-standard Sanger sequencing has been well established; however, the detection of somatic mutations, especially in heterogeneous tumor samples where variants may be present at a lower level, has been more challenging. Minor Variant Finder Software (MVF) enables calling of low frequency variants at a detection level as low as 5% using Sanger sequencing.
We have developed gene-specific Sanger sequencing panels covering the entire coding region (all exons) of specific genes (e.g., TP53, KRAS, and NRAS) implicated in tumorigenesis. We initially determined variants of TP53 and KRAS from lung tumor FFPE samples by NGS using the Ion PGM™ System. We confirmed the identity and minor allele frequency of these variants by gene-specific Sanger sequencing panels analyzed by MVF.
To demonstrate the robustness and flexibility of using Sanger sequencing for oncology research, we also included variants across many different solid tumor types in a pan-cancer panel. We tested this workflow with lower amounts of DNA input (10ng, 3ng, 1ng, 0.1ng). Additionally, we have built an extended RAS panel including eight amplicons covering the most important codons (12-13, 59-61, 117 and 146) of KRAS and NRAS genes. The entire workflow and data analysis using MVF was validated on thirty-five FFPE samples derived from colon cancer biopsies by OmniSeq LLC, Buffalo, NY.

APRIL 22, 2013, 1123 P.M. After a hectic day, an exhausted .docxShiraPrater50
APRIL 22, 2013, 11:23 P.M. After a hectic day, an exhausted Tim Cook is arriving back at Apple’s headquar-
ters in Cupertino, California. The Apple CEO is trying to find some quiet time to look over the day’s events and
handle some e-mails. Having joined Apple in 1998 as Senior Vice President of Worldwide Operations, Cook had
been appointed CEO based on the recommendation of Steve Jobs, who lost his battle with cancer a few weeks
after resigning from the top spot in August 2011. Cook had been filling in as CEO while Jobs had been on medical
leave. Cook was a low-profile, but high-impact executive at Apple who was responsible for restructuring Apple’s
supply chain, which had allowed Jobs to focus on high-profile product launches. Moreover, Apple’s now super-
efficient supply chain also increased its profitability tremendously.
Steve Jobs had led Apple through a period of innovation that saw the introduction of category-defining prod-
ucts such as the iPod, iPhone, and iPad and disruptive business models complementary to those products, such
as the Apple Retail Store and the iTunes online store. iTunes had started by selling music for Apple’s iPods and
later expanded into books, movies, television shows, and applications for all of Apple’s iOS devices. Apple’s
competitive advantage under Jobs was the ability to continually innovate, but Cook couldn’t help but wonder if
such success was sustainable, especially without Jobs.
Just the previous September, to great fanfare and expectations, Apple had launched the new iPhone 5. In his
presentation to an exuberant crowd of loyal Apple devotees in San Francisco’s Moscone Center that day, Cook
had highlighted Apple’s great performance by focusing on its retail stores and the sales of Mac notebooks and
iPads. In particular, Cook had emphasized the performance of Apple’s 380 retail stores in 12 countries around the
world. 1 An astounding 83 million people had visited Apple retail stores in the preceding quarter, which equates to
almost one million people a day, on average. In addition, he had stated that Apple ranked number one in notebook
sales in the United States, with 27 percent market share. That represented a notebook sales growth of 15 percent a
year. Cook had also commented on the iPad, crediting it with creating a post-PC revolution. Having sold
17 million iPads between April and June 2012, Apple claimed 68 percent market share in tablet computers. In
addition, the iPad accounted for 91 percent of web traffic by all tablets, which Cook attributed to the then over
700,000 iOS applications (apps) available to Apple users. A whopping 94 percent of Fortune 100 companies had
begun deploying Apple iPads in the workplace, many with customized apps to provide enterprise-specific busi-
ness solutions. “To put this achievement in some perspective, we sold more iPads than any PC manufacturer sold
of their entire PC lineup,” Cook said. 2 By June 2012, Apple had sold a total o ...

Woman Entrepreneurs in India – Inspirational Game ChangersN Pandya
Women entrepreneurs are a precious resource and every opportunity to realize their true potential needs to be leveraged so that India’s vast talent pool of women [an invaluable repository of skills, capabilities and aspirations] is not frittered away, especially at a time when businesses are facing a severe talent crunch. India’s women make up slightly over a third of the workforce and hence their increased contribution to GDP and the ability to create employment could be a game changer for India’s economy.
