Gravity 5.3.6 Ind 2
This document provides background information and instructions for an activity to demonstrate that gravity is the invisible force that pulls all objects on or near Earth toward its center. The activity has students test how an eraser and piece of paper move when dropped. It prompts them to predict which will hit the ground first and observe that they both fall at the same rate due to Earth's gravitational pull. The purpose is to help students understand that gravity is why objects fall, rain falls, and we are pulled toward the ground rather than floating in the air.

Disruption, the power of platforms and how bAUCTION responds to this
Doing business is changing fundamentally. Customers are trusting each other the most and word of mouth gives them confidence. A product is no longer pushed into the market topdown. This is over. The influence of networks is increasing. Online platforms are gaining importance. Think of disruptive players like Alibaba.
Based on these insights Xavier and Lien have (re)launched bAUCTION in March 2015. bAUCTION is a B2B e-trading platform. An online marketplace acting as a connector for professional buyers and sellers only (manufacturers, wholesales, retail, ...).
Based on the conviction that the network (also in B2B) is always winning...
Mission? Connecting the dots in the professional trading market.
Approach? Personal, safe and focussed on usability.

stackconf 2020 | Leveraging Procedural Knowledge: From Riding a Bike to Bare ...
On the road to senior engineer, one has to inhale multiple technologies. This often seems like a series of massive obstacles wherein each new technology resembles a new beginning. However, engineers often underestimate the extent to which procedural knowledge from one technology transfers to a new technology. In this talk, I will demonstrate that the process from OpenStack Community Liaison to Tinkerbell Developer Advocate was a series of procedural knowledge transfers, wherein the obstacles to learning reduces with each new technology that is learned. I will provide specific examples, from getting started to troubleshooting issues, and conclude with practical recommendations on how to create a coherent plan for transitioning from one technology to another.
Interaction Design Above the Level of a Single Man
My kick-off presentation at IxDA London Meetup October 2015.
The subject of the evening was inspired by Russel Davies' post “Software Above the Level of a Single Man” — a provocation with amazingly simplicity but very deep in its implications.
The main point we wanted to discuss was the shift as designers from "design for my phone, for my watch, for my [personal context here]" to "design for our car, our home, our office/workplace, our classroom, our [shared space/context here]".
Because as soon as you move away from the "level of a single man", you have to deal with (and design for) the complexity of “human interactions”. And it's not only a matter of defining personas, contexts, use cases; but also of understanding relationships, hierarchies, “meanings”, emotions.
Are we ready to deal with this change of paradigm? What are the complexities that we have to take into account? Are there already studies, real projects, examples of possible solutions, and what can we learn from them?
Mobile First Responsive Web Design
The document discusses mobile first responsive design, which involves designing interfaces for mobile devices first and then adapting the design for larger screens.

It then states that the seminar will cover five key techniques for implementing a mobile first responsive design approach.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

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).

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

AI & Electronic WarfareGNSS 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.
