What are the Internet of Things? What do they mean for real estate? What if your real estate professional became an advisor for the home when it was off the market? Data provided by Internet of Things devices can make this a reality, leading to better quality of life for homeowners as well as their neighbors and in their cities.
We have ethical responsibilities when coding. We’re able to extract remarkably precise intuitions about an individual. But do we have a right to know what they didn’t consent to share, even when they willingly shared the data that leads us there? A major retailer’s data-driven marketing accidentially revealed to a teen’s family that she was pregnant. Eek.
What are our obligations to people who did not expect themselves to be so intimately known without sharing directly? How do we mitigate against unintended outcomes? For instance, an activity tracker carelessly revealed users’ sexual activity data to search engines. A social network’s algorithm accidentally triggered painful memories for grieving families who’d recently experienced death of their child and other loved ones.
We design software for humans. Balancing human needs and business specs can be tough. It’s crucial that we learn how to build in systematic empathy.
In this talk, we'll delve into specific examples of uncritical programming, and painful results from using insightful data in ways that were benignly intended. You’ll learn ways we can integrate practices for examining how our code might harm individuals. We’ll look at how to flip the paradigm, netting consequences that can be better for everyone.

No pain, no gain. CSS Code Reviews FTW.Stacy Kvernmo
CSS is often overlooked as something that would require a code review. The test for good CSS has been "Does everything look good?"
With the complexity and scale of our projects these days, "looks good" is simple not enough. This presentation dives into what it takes to create or progress a positive and beneficial code review process for yourself or your team.
How GZIP compression works - JS Conf EU 2014Raul Fraile
Data compression is an amazing topic. Even in today’s world, with fast networks and almost unlimited storage, data compression is still relevant, especially for mobile devices and countries with poor Internet connections.
For better or worse, GZIP compression is the de-facto lossless compression method for compressing text data in websites. It is not the fastest nor the better, but provides an excellent tradeoff between speed and compression ratio. The way Internet works makes it also difficult to use newer compression methods.
This talk examines how GZIP works internally, explaining the internals of the DEFLATE algorithm, which is a combination of LZ77 and Huffman coding. Different implementations will be compared, such as GNU GZIP, 7-ZIP and zopfli, focusing on why and how some of these implementations perform better than others.
Finally, we will try to go beyond GZIP, preprocessing our data to achieve better results. For example, transposing JSON.

What Causes your Mercedes Benz to Vibrate When Accelerating in BridgewaterMotor Cars International
When you are driving the Mercedes-Benz, it will develop some mechanical problems eventually. If you are neglecting the issues, then it will cause serious complications in your Mercedes. Thus, the vibrations during acceleration are indicating different problems in your car. So, go through the slides to pinpoint the common causes behind your Mercedes-Benz is vibrating when accelerating.
I made this presentation at the ECIPE Workshop: "Will 3D Printing change everything?" held on October 6th, 2015. It looks at sectoral disruption driven by adoption of 3D printing, while it also presents short-term regulatory aspects that will affect the diffusion of this technology. The presentation also provides a more general reflection on the wider economic and societal perspective surrounding the widespread adoption of 3D printing.
Messaging Brokers are intrinsic part of our infrastructure and our experience with HornetQ has not been really great.
We have experienced issues that forced us to perform restarts multiple times a day and sometimes they weren't sufficient to fix the issue and data cleanup was needed resulting in loss of important messages.
Lack of documentation, lack of proper support and lack of stability of HornetQ broker are some of the reasons for looking into new Messaging Brokers.
During this session I will present the path we have taken to Prioritize Features -> Compare Brokers -> Eliminate -> Benchmark and the findings together with recommendations.
This task resulted in implementation of generic messaging broker benchmarking tool in Java, called Benchmark.io which we are intending to open source.
The slides cover Introduction to Big Data and Data Science, as well as go over our current and future projects @eHarmony.
eHarmony was founded to give people a better chance to find happy, passionate and fulfilling relationships.
During this talk I will describe steps that we go through to create Compatible matches and how we leverage Big Data technologies to accomplish that goal.
I will specifically talk on how we take Billion+ potential matches that we find through MongoDB, store them in Voldemort NoSQL datastore and then run multiple Hadoop jobs to come up with filtered list based on Machine Learned models.
Our hadoop clusters are in-house, high density, low power Seamicro installations and we use Spring Batch and Spring Data Hadoop to orchestrate the hadoop jobs.
Did you know that eHarmony is responsible for 5% of all new US marriages and that more than 600,000 people already got married through us?
Advances in narrow artificial intelligence make possible agentive systems that do things directly for their users (like, say, an automatic pet feeder). They deliver on the promise of user-centered design, but present fresh challenges in understanding their unique promises and pitfalls. They challenge strategists and product owners to think in new ways, since they deliver value mostly when the user isn’t paying them any attention. Join Christopher Noessel of IBM as he introduces us to the concepts from his new book, "Designing Agentive Technology: AI That Works For People" (Rosenfeld Media, 2017). Attendees will learn what agentive technology is—and what it isn’t—and why it matters to businesses and consumers alike. You’ll leave understanding how agentive technology can be used to solve practical problems and what impacts its adoption may have on content professionals. And, you'll discover why we are increasingly moving from systems that help to systems that do. November 30, 2017
Stirring Emotions - Making the Human ConnectionFITCH
Emotions differentiate humans from other living things. They make us unpredictable, impulsive and endlessly interesting. When tapped in to, our emotions allow brands to connect in a more relevant way. It is a known fact that consumers are more likely to purchase when they connect emotionally to a brand. Brands and retailers need to translate this understanding of people into an enhanced brand experience which stirs emotions. Alasdair Lennox will discuss how to connect with consumers through distinctive experiences, and how these memorable moments build value for brands. He will also share a preview of Group XP’s 2017 Experience Index, which measures the value of brand experience.

How Story Tellers Make Real Estate Meetings MeaningfulMatthew Rathbun
Every broker knows that connection with those in his or her office is essential to team building, engagement, culture and increasing opportunities. However, the old office meeting, where agents sit around and moan about their non-sellable listings have left many of your agents resistance to attending. The ubiquity of information has made it hard for many managers to find relevance in the agent’s life. Matthew Rathbun shares how his focus on telling the agent’s story and that of the firms has increased attendance. The tools to tell these stories are all around you and can help you craft an experience and not just another meeting.

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.
