ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

In this guide, we'll explore the key considerations and features to look for when choosing a Trusted analytics platform that meets your organization's needs and delivers actionable intelligence you can trust.
The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.
Global Situational Awareness of A.I. and where its headedvikram sood
You can see the future first in San Francisco.
Over the past year, the talk of the town has shifted from $10 billion compute clusters to $100 billion clusters to trillion-dollar clusters. Every six months another zero is added to the boardroom plans. Behind the scenes, there’s a fierce scramble to secure every power contract still available for the rest of the decade, every voltage transformer that can possibly be procured. American big business is gearing up to pour trillions of dollars into a long-unseen mobilization of American industrial might. By the end of the decade, American electricity production will have grown tens of percent; from the shale fields of Pennsylvania to the solar farms of Nevada, hundreds of millions of GPUs will hum.
The AGI race has begun. We are building machines that can think and reason. By 2025/26, these machines will outpace college graduates. By the end of the decade, they will be smarter than you or I; we will have superintelligence, in the true sense of the word. Along the way, national security forces not seen in half a century will be un-leashed, and before long, The Project will be on. If we’re lucky, we’ll be in an all-out race with the CCP; if we’re unlucky, an all-out war.
Everyone is now talking about AI, but few have the faintest glimmer of what is about to hit them. Nvidia analysts still think 2024 might be close to the peak. Mainstream pundits are stuck on the wilful blindness of “it’s just predicting the next word”. They see only hype and business-as-usual; at most they entertain another internet-scale technological change.
Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them. A few years ago, these people were derided as crazy—but they trusted the trendlines, which allowed them to correctly predict the AI advances of the past few years. Whether these people are also right about the next few years remains to be seen. But these are very smart people—the smartest people I have ever met—and they are the ones building this technology. Perhaps they will be an odd footnote in history, or perhaps they will go down in history like Szilard and Oppenheimer and Teller. If they are seeing the future even close to correctly, we are in for a wild ride.
Let me tell you what we see.
Adjusting OpenMP PageRank : SHORT REPORT / NOTESSubhajit Sahu
For massive graphs that fit in RAM, but not in GPU memory, it is possible to take
advantage of a shared memory system with multiple CPUs, each with multiple cores, to
accelerate pagerank computation. If the NUMA architecture of the system is properly taken
into account with good vertex partitioning, the speedup can be significant. To take steps in
this direction, experiments are conducted to implement pagerank in OpenMP using two
different approaches, uniform and hybrid. The uniform approach runs all primitives required
for pagerank in OpenMP mode (with multiple threads). On the other hand, the hybrid
approach runs certain primitives in sequential mode (i.e., sumAt, multiply).
Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.

1. How the travel industry
uses Instagram to
maximize engagement
and drive website visitors
REPORT PERIOD: MAY 01 - JUL 31, 2016
Hawaii, Michigan, New York, Florida, California,
Colorado, Texas and Georgia. What are these DMOs
doing to maximize the impact of their social media
properties? This report covers it.
10 Oct 2016
ZuumSocial.com
2. Outline
Instagram is exploding. Projected 15%
growth this year, compared to 3% for
social media overall.
In hitting 400 million users, it just
surpassed Twitter and is growing faster
than Facebook did after 5 years. For
many brands, Instagram is now their 2nd
most important network.
For the travel industry -- which relies
heavily on beautiful imagery of unique
places -- the impact of Instagram is even
greater.
So let’s take a closer look at the
activities, and what brands are doing to
drive engagement and site visitors.
How the travel industry uses Instagram to maximize engagement and drive website visitors
1. Industry benchmarks
a. Fan growth, posting volume, engagement
rates and levels.
2. Top posting themes
a. Leading topics used by industry overall, as
well as top brands.
3. Top campaigns and posts
a. Breakdown of top content with performance
overview, posting calendars, and key topics.

3. Industry Benchmarks
How the travel industry uses Instagram to maximize engagement and drive website visitors
Leaderboard comparisons of all brands across a series of benchmark metrics
4. Global Fan Leaderboard
Instagram is the second
largest network based on
average number of fans per
account.
Top Instagram account
PureMichigan has more
followers than 2 of the
Facebook accounts.
Facebook is by far the leading
network for fans and
followers.
How the travel industry uses Instagram to maximize engagement and drive website visitors
5. Global Fan Growth Rate Leaderboard
This is one of the big stories
behind Instagram: It’s
continuing rapid growth.
Average Instagram follower
growth for this group of
brands is 20%, while only
2.4% for Facebook, and 6.3%
for Twitter.
No Instagram account is
below 7% fan growth for
these three months.
Peak is I Love NY, at over
37%.
How the travel industry uses Instagram to maximize engagement and drive website visitors
6. Global Engagements Leaderboard
Combine the rapid fan growth
on the previous slide with this
level of engagement and you
can see why marketers are
excited about Instagram.
7 of the 8 states featured
have more engagement on
Instagram than on Facebook.
That’s despite the average
Facebook page having over 5
times the fan count as the
average Instagram page.
How the travel industry uses Instagram to maximize engagement and drive website visitors
7. Global Posts Leaderboard
Instagram posting volume is
rivaling that of Facebook.
Twitter is still the ‘high
volume’ network in this
industry.
Average of around 40 posts
per month. 1.3 times per
day.
How the travel industry uses Instagram to maximize engagement and drive website visitors
8. Instagram Leaderboard - 2016
Pure Michigan has gained
more new followers during
this period than I Love NY has
total followers.
There’s a wide range in
posting volumes and follower
count, while the
engagement/fans ratio is
fairly consistent between
1.8% and 3.5%.
How the travel industry uses Instagram to maximize engagement and drive website visitors
9. Instagram Leaderboard - 2015
Year over year change in
account averages
Followers: +122%
New Fans: +53%
Follower Growth Rate: -43%
Posting Volume: +11%
Total Engagements: +41%
How the travel industry uses Instagram to maximize engagement and drive website visitors
10. Video on Instagram
For this reporting period of May -
July 2016, we’re not seeing large
amounts of video on Instagram.
Only 40 of 927 posts, which is just
over 4%.
Of course, video typically has
higher production costs, which will
naturally hamper its use.
Colorado, on the other hand,
posted 19 videos over these three
months. Far more than any other
brand -- over 8% of their total
posting volume.

11. Top Posting Themes
How the travel industry uses Instagram to maximize engagement and drive website visitors
Comparison of the most common topics the brands are posting
12. Top Themes - All Brands
Showing topics mentioned at
least 10 times by all brands in
this analysis.
Hashtags often represent
campaigns. #ColoradoGram
and #PureMichiganLakeEffect
are examples of posts based
on a common theme.
Many brands will have a
universal hashtag, as well. One
applied to virtually every post,
as with #TexasTodo and
#ExploreGeorgia. Here,
hashtags are used as a type of
brand tagline.
Topics, hashtags and URLs are
good identifiers for analyzing
your competitor’s activities.
How the travel industry uses Instagram to maximize engagement and drive website visitors
13. Top Themes - Hawaii
Prominently featuring
photographer Pete Halvorsen,
a leading travel photographer,
is a good way to generate
high quality content.
Beyond that, there’s a lack of
hashtag use, which indicates
there could be more
campaign opportunities.
Campaign themes tend to
work for brands by building
up a familiarity and sense of
expectation among readers.
They also help keep a brand’s
messaging along strategic
themes.
How the travel industry uses Instagram to maximize engagement and drive website visitors
14. Top Themes - Michigan
Compared to Hawaii, Pure
Michigan is posting a broader
range of topics.
Part of this is due to a higher
posting volume.
However, the use of hashtags
communicates the nature of
different posts, and gives the
user an easy way to access
more of the same.
Here, PureMichigan uses
hashtags to introduce new
destinations (#findyourpark),
announce activities
(#michigangolfmonth), and
identify community-generated
content (#photooftheday).
How the travel industry uses Instagram to maximize engagement and drive website visitors
15. Top Campaigns

Four of the more strategically interesting campaigns by these brands
16. New York’s #WaterfallWednesday
#WaterfallWednesday is a
clever way to draw attention
to a beautiful and distinct
feature of the state. It’s a
fresh take on the Day of Week
theme, a common but
effective approach.

17. Day of Week posting
generates a recurring
theme. Something the
audience can enjoy and
ideally look forward to.

18. Michigan’s #findyourpark
Highlights various state
treasures with a sense of
discovery.
The posts demonstrate the
campaign’s capacity for
establishing an identity for
the different state parks.
Note how the images are in
both portrait and landscape
orientations. Instagram
moved outside the square
format in August 2015.

Not enormous posting
volume (6), and seems like
they could get more out of
the direction.
The Related Terms word

campaign’s leading topics.

20. New York’s ISpyNY
A photo contest.
User generated content
creates a stronger sense of
community, and also
provides an ongoing stream
of nice images.
Periodically in posts, they
mention the contest and
how to compete.
How the travel industry uses Instagram to maximize engagement and drive website visitors
21. New York’s ISpyNY
This is a recurring theme
posted like clockwork every
week.
Creates a consistent content

contest is something
followers can participate in
and look forward to.

Some of the leading tactics being used
36. Paste link into post
Currently not possible to insert
clickable links in an Instagram post.
Can paste in URLs, like the post to the
left. However, they won’t be clickable
or selectable.
So keep URLs to a manageable length.
How the travel industry uses Instagram to maximize engagement and drive website visitors
37. Profile link to website
Can include a link on the account home
page.
How the travel industry uses Instagram to maximize engagement and drive website visitors
38. Profile link forwarding
Post references the link in the brand’s
profile. That link is specific to the post topic,
and directs to the right URL.
Good way to add more direct action
capabilities to a post.
URL can be changed with each post, daily,
weekly, or with campaigns.
How the travel industry uses Instagram to maximize engagement and drive website visitors
39. Referencing website content
Used for referencing off-
Instagram destinations. Users
then access the content via direct
link to website, or search.
How the travel industry uses Instagram to maximize engagement and drive website visitors
40. Posts about promos, sales and offers
Most brands aren’t
approaching Instagram
as a direct response
platform.
Instagram is not set up
for linking, and it’s a key
part of the site
experience.
How the travel industry uses Instagram to maximize engagement and drive website visitors
41. It’s pay-to-play if you want direct links
Instagram paid
advertising does offer a
clickable link which can
be used to drive visitors
to specific actions.
How the travel industry uses Instagram to maximize engagement and drive website visitors
42. Summary
❖ Instagram continues to provide strong levels of growth and
engagement.
❖ Video is not used to a large degree. Opportunity for content
distinction.
❖ Hashtags can provide impact and clarity to your messaging.
They’re also good for analyzing competitor activities.
❖ Instagram is more of a branding and engagement platform
than direct response. That should drive how brands
approach their content.
