Chris Anderson
This case study focuses on 3D Robotics, a drone company with UAV platforms. It examines what 3DR should
pursue at the critical inflection point within its history and highlights what is unique about 3DR, particularly when
compared to a more traditional non-open, non-Maker company. (Keywords: Entrepreneurship, Corporate Strategy,
Market Entry, Open Source, Innovation, Crowdsourcing)
“Ultimately, the way society best figures out how to think about a powerful new tech-
nology is to set it free and watch where it flies.”—Chris Anderson, 3D Robotics CEO1
“Chris Anderson is incredibly special because he is not just creating a product, he is
creating a movement.”—Jon Callaghan, True Ventures2

n a sunny, brisk spring day in 2014, Chris Anderson, CEO of 3D
Robotics (3DR), a developer of drones, was squinting as he looked
towards the sky at a small flying black and blue object with four
spinning propellers. He was in the grassy patch outside their office
testing the IRIS, a small drone that flew autonomously3 via an Android tablet,
phone, or laptop. Remarkably, it could be programmed to takeoff and fly from
precise point A to B, avoid obstacles through sensors, and land on its own.
While the word “drone” (or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles—“UAVs”) conjured
up images of stealthy military crafts zipping around in secret unmanned missions,
Anderson, former Wired Magazine Editor-in-Chief,4 was changing that perception
through 3DR, the company he had co-founded in 2009. 3DR was an example of

hardware designer that coordinated a large com-
munity of open source software developers who
supported its devices. Anderson described the com-
pany as “using the software of today to build the
hardware of tomorrow.”5
The company, which initially targeted hobby-
ists, was exploring commercial uses in market
segments that did not require FAA6 approval. At
the time of this case, drones were only permitted for
personal use in the U.S. and were restricted to heights
of 400 feet, to be within visual line of sight, and
remain away from populated areas and airports. However, the FAA did offer special
permits for commercial use (since 2009, the FAA has issued 1,387 of these Certifications
of Authorization for limited UAV flights to government, educational, and research enti-
ties, and as of December 2013, there were 545 active permits).7 The FAA was consider-
ing commercial use of drones to begin in 2015, but was cautious due to safety concerns.

Patterns for technology thinking
Michell Zappa presents 6 patterns for thinking about technology:
1) Exponential change means technology gets faster and cheaper over time, indirectly affecting all aspects of society.
2) Unintended consequences are difficult to anticipate as technology causes nonlinear and unexpected impacts.
3) Technological ubiquity results in all industries and companies becoming technology companies in some way.
4) New technologies are combinations of pre-existing technologies. 5) Science fiction inspires real-world innovation. 6) By understanding these patterns, the future of technology can be more predictable than perceived.

Computers are changing lives in many ways. They are transforming jobs and industries like offices, banks, farms and factories. Doctors and scientists now use computers to make medical discoveries and learn about the human body and world. The military also relies heavily on computers for tasks like radar systems, missile control and simulations. While early computers were large, slow and expensive, modern computers are smaller, cheaper and more powerful due to advances like transistors and integrated circuits. Computers can now store vast amounts of information and process it quickly. However, computers are not intelligent on their own - they simply follow instructions and do not think like humans.

Figurative language power point
This document defines and provides examples of different types of figurative language including simile, metaphor, personification, hyperbole, onomatopoeia, idiom, pun, and oxymoron. It explains that a simile directly compares two things using like or as, while a metaphor makes a comparison without those words. Personification gives human traits to non-human objects or ideas. Hyperbole exaggerates to emphasize feeling, while understatement does the opposite. Onomatopoeia are words that imitate sounds. Idioms and puns use double meanings rather than literal definitions. An oxymoron combines contradictory terms.
Shari Abbey : Text structure explained powerpoint
Text structure refers to the patterns authors use to organize information in their writing to make it easier for readers to understand and remember. Without structure, facts are random and difficult to recall, just as an unpatterned image is hard to recreate from memory. Common text structures include description, sequence, problem-solution, compare-contrast, and cause-effect. Choosing the appropriate structure depends on the author's purpose and information to be conveyed. Understanding an author's structure can help readers better comprehend and retain what they read.

The document summarizes three early American tribes - the Aztecs, Mound Builders, and Cliff Dwellers. It describes artifacts left behind by the Aztecs and Mound Builders, including a large clay statue of a figure with ripped skin found in Mexico City, and a hammer carved from mammoth bone used for construction and combat. It notes that the Cliff Dwellers lived in Mexican plateaus for access to resources. The document concludes that if living in one of the tribes, the author would choose the Mound Builders since they were peacemakers and did not conflict with other tribes as much as the Aztecs.

Lee Barnes - Path to Becoming an Effective Test Automation Engineer.pdf
So… you want to become a Test Automation Engineer (or hire and develop one)? While there’s quite a bit of information available about important technical and tool skills to master, there’s not enough discussion around the path to becoming an effective Test Automation Engineer that knows how to add VALUE. In my experience this had led to a proliferation of engineers who are proficient with tools and building frameworks but have skill and knowledge gaps, especially in software testing, that reduce the value they deliver with test automation.
In this talk, Lee will share his lessons learned from over 30 years of working with, and mentoring, hundreds of Test Automation Engineers. Whether you’re looking to get started in test automation or just want to improve your trade, this talk will give you a solid foundation and roadmap for ensuring your test automation efforts continuously add value. This talk is equally valuable for both aspiring Test Automation Engineers and those managing them! All attendees will take away a set of key foundational knowledge and a high-level learning path for leveling up test automation skills and ensuring they add value to their organizations.

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).

Rocket scientists
- 1. Rocket Scientists By Icarus VanBuren
- 2. Rocket Scientist design and create rockets. In the future technology will effect the design of the rockets to be more efficient. They will also sell the rockets to the public. Thesis Statement
- 3. They need to know a lot about math and science. They also need to know how to use the tools and computer programming. The last and probably most important is the dangers. What They Need to Get the Job
- 4. Payments They get paid an average yearly salary of 64,000 to 100,000 dollars! That’s a lot of money! They get paid so much for their knowledge
- 5. Interviews Most rocket scientist were created missiles for wars. Now they are retired.
- 6. Facts In 1232 BC, the Chinese used rocket-arrows propelled by burning gunpowder in their war with the Mongols. These were the first certified rockets. Rockets work by burning fuel and swelling. The swelling pushes them forward.
- 7. In the future technology will effect the design of the rockets to be more efficient. They will also sell the rockets to the public. So it will become a public selling rockets company. If I owned a shop like this I would name it “Rocketz 4 u”. What it Will be in the Future
- 8. Extra Schooling Not only do they need to know how to design but they need to know how to best present them too. They will still need to know computer programming and all the dangers.
- 9. Changes in Technology The advancements would make it more efficient. It would go faster, and higher. As for missiles, it would make a bigger explosion.
