The Path to Net Positive: Principles, Practical Models and Progress to Date A...Sustainable Brands
The document discusses moving businesses towards a net positive impact through sustainable innovation. It outlines how Dassault Systemes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform can help companies eco-design products, engineer more sustainably, enable green manufacturing, and optimize product use through simulation, virtual prototyping, and data analytics apps. The goal is to promote better design practices that grow customers' "handprints" by measurably improving environmental and social performance across the product lifecycle.
This document discusses the environmental impacts of information and communication technologies (ICT). It notes that ICT has both first order effects through infrastructure/equipment usage and production, as well as second and third order effects through enabling other industries and behaviors. Specifically, it outlines how ICT contributes to resource consumption, energy usage, and electronic waste generation. It then provides statistics on the carbon footprint and energy consumption of data centers, servers, and individual devices. The document recommends ways to green ICT through more efficient software, virtualization, reuse of hardware, and open source solutions. Overall, it analyzes the sustainability challenges posed by rising ICT usage and outlines approaches to mitigate environmental impacts across the technology's lifecycle.
Prof.Peter Head gave a presentation on Design & Financing of Green Buildings as Key Feature of Eco-Smart City Regions at 15th IGBC Green Building Congress 2017 event conducted at Jaipur.
ICTFOOTPRINT.eu was invited to be a speaker on “Green ICT” webinar, taking place on 7th November 2016 at 11:00 am CET and organised by Green Digital Charter, a network of committing cities to working together to deliver on the EU climate objectives through the use of ICT.
Silvana Muscella, Coordinator of ICTFOOTPRINT.eu, will make a presentation on “Services within the ICTFOOTPRINT.eu ecosystem”, explaining how cities and public administrators can become more energy efficient in their ICT.”
1) The document discusses the coming abundance of empowered makers and the maker movement. It argues that computing power will continue to progress exponentially, enabling individuals to know and make more.
2) By 2035, computing power is predicted to match one human brain, and by 2055 to match all human brains combined. This will allow individuals to be "T-shaped makers" with breadth across different sectors, regions, cultures and disciplines as well as depth of expertise.
3) The talk advocates inspiring students to build a better future and close the service innovation skills gap through collaborative service systems empowered by cognitive mediators.

Digital Citizenship in Education Visioning Safety and Responsibilities in Dig...ijtsrd
The inevitability of digital tools and technology usage has accelerated over the past 30 years and continues to grow rapidly. Digital interaction has become a part of everyday life and continues to covers our mind. This research assessed the likelihood of the respondents on how to deal technology properly. Using statistical tool and Survey Questionnaire, the data were analyzed using mean, percentages and t test two independent samples to measure the significant mean difference of the group respondents. The finding reveals that the group respondents were likely vulnerable when using digital tools. This includes the safety and security and their responsibilities. This study suggests that students and teachers were at risk during this advent of technology. Roberto L.

Software has been developed for decades without taking sustainability into consideration. This holds for its energy efficiency, that is the amount of energy software consumes while ensuring other system qualities like security, performance, reliability, etc. etc. Software un-sustainability, however, is becoming increasingly evident with the growing interest worldwide. Finally IT specialists are becoming aware that software solutions can, and should, be designed with sustainability concerns in mind. In doing so, they can create solutions that are technically more stable (hence requiring less modifications over time), target societal goals with a higher certainty, or help sustaining the business goals of both developing and consuming organizations. Everything sounds great. The real question is, how? How can we redirect software engineering practices toward sustainable software solutions? How can we turn sustainability into a business so that companies will finally invest in it? Based on various case studies in collaboration with industry, this talk explores software sustainability from a technical perspective: results, challenges, and lessons learned will be included for interactive discussion.

It then discusses the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a large area of accumulated ocean plastic debris, and how 80% of its waste comes from North America and Asia. Marine animals often mistake plastic for food, which can kill them through starvation or ruptured organs if ingested. Hundreds of thousands of sea creatures die each year due to plastic pollution and entanglement. The document emphasizes the need for humans to reduce plastic use to protect ocean life.
Sikkim is a small Indian state located in the Himalayas. It is known for its natural beauty and organic farming practices. The TERRE Policy Centre organized a study tour for farmers from Satara to learn about Sikkim's successful organic farming techniques. Over 74,300 acres in Sikkim are used for organic farming of crops like cardamom, turmeric, ginger, potatoes and vegetables. Sikkim's chief minister started the organic farming movement in 2003 and by 2015, Sikkim became India's first entirely organic state. The state's disciplined people and strict enforcement of organic laws helped achieve this goal.
The document summarizes changes to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) over the past 40 years. It discusses how the UNEP Governing Council was established in 1972 with 58 member countries, but was upgraded in 2012 to become the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) with universal membership of all 193 UN member states. The first UNEA session took place in 2014. While it is too early to fully judge the impact of this change, the sixth Global Environment Outlook released at UNEA-2 set an alarming tone about accelerating environmental degradation worldwide.
This document discusses saving water on Holi and World Water Day. It encourages celebrating Holi without wasting water and thanks donors who provided water tankers to water scarce regions in India. It emphasizes the importance of conserving water and having a waterless Holi.
The Paris Climate Change agreement was successful due to strategic partnership between India and France. Key points:
- French President Hollande reached out to many countries before the summit to build consensus. He organized informal meetings with India to address its concerns.
- Hollande's leadership helped secure agreements from rigid EU and US positions. He ensured the final text addressed climate justice priorities of India and other developing nations.
- The launch of the International Solar Alliance by India and France during COP21 was a highlight and advanced their cooperation on clean energy goals.
The document summarizes the following:
1) TERRE Policy Centre launched the Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Young Scientist fellowship, with registrations beginning on November 14th and ending on February 15th, 2016.
2) The Chairman discusses the dilemma facing the 196 countries gathering in Paris for the climate summit, which must decide on a new climate treaty and limits to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius.
3) TERRE Policy Centre held events discussing Kalidasa's poem Meghadoota, including talks on the narrative style and depiction of nature, as well as recitations of the poem.

End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.

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.
Open Source Contributions to Postgres: The Basics POSETTE 2024ElizabethGarrettChri
Postgres is the most advanced open-source database in the world and it's supported by a community, not a single company. So how does this work? How does code actually get into Postgres? I recently had a patch submitted and committed and I want to share what I learned in that process. I’ll give you an overview of Postgres versions and how the underlying project codebase functions. I’ll also show you the process for submitting a patch and getting that tested and committed.
