Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldabaux singapore
How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.
Content personalisation is becoming more prevalent. A site, it's content and/or it's products, change dynamically according to the specific needs of the user. SEO needs to ensure we do not fall behind of this trend.
Succession “Losers”: What Happens to Executives Passed Over for the CEO Job?
By David F. Larcker, Stephen A. Miles, and Brian Tayan
Stanford Closer Look Series
Overview:
Shareholders pay considerable attention to the choice of executive selected as the new CEO whenever a change in leadership takes place. However, without an inside look at the leading candidates to assume the CEO role, it is difficult for shareholders to tell whether the board has made the correct choice. In this Closer Look, we examine CEO succession events among the largest 100 companies over a ten-year period to determine what happens to the executives who were not selected (i.e., the “succession losers”) and how they perform relative to those who were selected (the “succession winners”).
We ask:
• Are the executives selected for the CEO role really better than those passed over?
• What are the implications for understanding the labor market for executive talent?
• Are differences in performance due to operating conditions or quality of available talent?
• Are boards better at identifying CEO talent than other research generally suggests?

10 Things You Can Do to Speed Up Your Web App TodayChris Love
Web Performance is a serious issues these days. 80% of web performance issues are in the client. Many developers either do not realize what they are leaving on the table and how that affects the success of their application. These are 10 things any web developer can do in about 30-60 minutes to drastically increase page load times and thus increase the application's profitability.
Lets look at an example of what a performant website can look like. This discuss what concepts should we be considering when looking at website performance. Next we will go over two areas pertaining to website performance: 1) website performance tweaks that you as a web developer can directly make 2) website performance tweaks that you may have to work with your hosting provider or IT department to achieve

Cloud Services have become an integral part of many organizations’ workloads. With the ease of spinning up instances to react to changing or increased business demands, it’s certainly not hard to see why. Many organizations that once relied on internal data centers are even considering migrating to the cloud to take advantage of not just the ability to spin up instances rapidly, but also to leverage all the services that are available with these offerings. Such as Elastic Map Reduce from Amazon and HD Insight from Microsoft. In this talk, we will go over the various methods and strategies you can employ to migrate your data and workloads to the cloud and what all options this opens up for your business and IT.

A faster website can help your website in many ways. The faster the website, the lower the bounce rate and the higher the conversions. This mean higher sales, ad revenue and ultimately money.
Here are 10 ways you can speed up your website:
Hosting Provider – Who is hosting your website and how are they hosting it?
Utilize Caching – Page Cache, Database Cache, Object Cache, Browser Cache, Reverse Proxy
Combine CSS and JS files – Load JS in the footer whenever possible
Use a CDN -A Content Delivery Network (CDN) will ‘put a rocket behind your static content’
Reduce and Optimize Images – Use CSS3 whenever and wherever possible, save images for web
Use Compression – Save bandwidth and speed up your website
Use Sprites – Load JS in the footer whenever possible
Monitor Your Website – CPU usage, Physical Memory, Average Load, Disk I/O utilization, Network I/O
Optimize your Database Regularly – Optimizing database tables regularly will help improve website performance
Mobile and Tablet Optimization – Use CSS3 Media Queries, JS and service-side technology to speed up devices

In this talk, I’ll talk about how we make the MySQL/MariaDB databases observable. We’ll talk about the RED, USE methods, and the golden signals. You’ll discover how we dealt with the following questions “We think the database is slow”. This talk will allow you to make your databases discoverable with open source solutions.
From determining the most convenient rider pickup points to predicting the fastest routes, Uber aims to use data-driven analytics to create seamless trip experiences. Within engineering, analytics inform decision-making processes across the board.
One of the distinct challenges for Uber is analyzing geospatial big data. City locations, trips, and event information, for instance, provide insights that can improve business decisions and better serve users. Geospatial data analysis is particularly challenging, especially in a big data scenario, such as computing how many rides start at a transit location, how many drivers are crossing state lines, and so on. For these analytical requests, we must achieve efficiency, usability, and scalability in order to meet user needs and business requirements.
To accomplish this, we use Hadoop, Hive, and Presto in our production environment to process the big data powering our interactive SQL engine. In this talk, we discuss our engineering effort to optimize geospatial queries in the whole Hadoop stack.

“To speed up the Internet at large, we should look for more ways to bring
down RTT. What if we could reduce cross-atlantic RTTs from 150 ms to 100 ms?
This would have a larger effect on the speed of the internet than increasing a user’s

• Avoid CSS Expressions
• Avoid Redirects
• Remove Duplicate Scripts
• Make Ajax Cacheable
• Configure Etags
• Use GET for AJAX Requests
• Post-load Components
• Preload Components
• Reduce the Number of DOM Elements
• Minimize the Number of iframes
• Minimize DOM Access
• Choose <link> over @import
• Avoid Filters
• Make favicon.ico Small and Cacheable
• Avoid Empty Image src
Many of these performance rules deal with how external components are managed. However, before these considerations arise you should ask a more basic question: Should JavaScript and CSS be contained in external files, or inlined in the page itself?
Using external files in the real world generally produces faster pages because the JavaScript and CSS files are cached by the browser. JavaScript and CSS that are inlined in HTML documents get downloaded every time the HTML document is requested. This reduces the number of HTTP requests that are needed, but increases the size of the HTML document. On the other hand, if the JavaScript and CSS are in external files cached by the browser, the size of the HTML document is reduced without increasing the number of HTTP requests.
The key factor, then, is the frequency with which external JavaScript and CSS components are cached relative to the number of HTML documents requested. This factor, although difficult to quantify, can be gauged using various metrics. If users on your site have multiple page views per session and many of your pages re-use the same scripts and stylesheets, there is a greater potential benefit from cached external files.
