Let’s be honest: for most content strategists and other people working with online content, SEO is The Worst Part Of The Job.
It’s hugely technical, it’s shrouded in mystery, it seems to be focused on robots instead of people, there are unspoken rules, everything can turn on a dime, and it never, ever seems to end.
But SEO doesn't have to be this way. It’s time to begin a conversation between these two disciplines – they’re far more alike than you might think. And when they work together on behalf of users and customers, amazing things can happen that will drive your organisation forward.
I can’t promise to change your mind about SEO, but you’ll leave this session understanding how to build the essentials into your work in ways that are simple, make sense, and are pain-free. You’ll see what business impacts and wins for the customer SEO and Content Strategy have had at REI, a major retailer in the US. And you’ll have the vocabulary, understanding and tools that you need to talk with your SEO... or to take it for yourself.
Drive traffic, amaze your visitors, and Win the Internet -- with SEO and Content Strategy working together.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

38. P.S. You might be wondering why we need to have a legal and financial disclaimer in this presentation, but you are still
reading, so our lawyers, auditors and accountants would really like to make sure we make the following clarifications.
Although an audit was underway and almost done, the financial information presented in this slide show was
unaudited. We made every effort to present the best information we had at the time.
Gross merchandise sales is a non-GAAP metric. We use it to express the total demand across all of our web sites and
stores. This number measures the dollar value of the orders placed in the year before accruing for certain items such
as returns, and it ignores certain timing cut-offs that are required by GAAP for revenue recognition purposes. So the
gross merchandise sales number should be viewed just as an interesting number that we want to share with our
friends.
This presentation contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions
that, if they ever materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or
implied by the forward-looking statements and assumptions. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited
to, the risk of economic slowdown, the risk of over or under buying, the risk of consumers not shopping online or at
our web site at the rate we expected, the risk of supplier shortages, the risk of new or growing competition, the risk of
a natural or some other type of disaster affecting our fulfillment operations or web servers, and the risk of the world
generally coming to an end. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be
deemed forward-looking statements, including statements of expectation or belief; and any statement of assumptions
underlying any of the foregoing. Zappos.com assumes no obligation and does not intend to update these forward-
looking statements.
Congratulations on making it through all the fine print. If you enjoy fine print, look for openings on our legal and
