This document discusses the benefits of moving from group health insurance plans to individual health insurance plans. It argues that group health insurance costs have risen dramatically and no longer benefit employees. Individual plans allow people to own their own policies and seek out more competitive healthcare options. For a family of four, an individual plan could cost $437 per month compared to $1,220 for a traditional group plan. Rates cannot increase or policies be cancelled due to illness with individual plans. Employers reimburse employees for individual plan premiums through health reimbursement arrangements.
Fatima Denton: Links between adaptation, mitigation and low carbon, or climat...AfricaAdapt
Climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts are strongly correlated with sustainable development. There are opportunities for these areas to intersect in ways that promote resilience. For example, agricultural practices that sequester carbon, like improved soil management, also support adaptation by enhancing soil quality and water retention. Water conservation through small-scale irrigation both mitigates emissions and adapts to drought. Institution strengthening is also important to coordinate climate and development efforts. Overall, transitions are needed from isolated adaptation projects to transformative processes integrated with sustainable development goals.

OSDC 2018 | The Computer science behind a modern distributed data store by Ma...NETWAYS
What we see in the modern data store world is a race between different approaches to achieve a distributed and resilient storage of data. Most applications need a stateful layer which holds the data. There are at least three necessary ingredients which are everything else than trivial to combine and of course even more challenging when heading for an acceptable performance. Over the past years there has been significant progress in respect in both the science and practical implementations of such data stores. In his talk Max Neunhoeffer will introduce the audience to some of the needed ingredients, address the difficulties of their interplay and show four modern approaches of distributed open-source data stores.
Topics are:
– Challenges in developing a distributed, resilient data store
– Consensus, distributed transactions, distributed query optimization and execution
– The inner workings of ArangoDB, Cassandra, Cockroach and RethinkDB
The talk will touch complex and difficult computer science, but will at the same time be accessible to and enjoyable by a wide range of developers.

Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP: From Content Creation to ConsumptionAlpen-Adria-Universität
Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) is an adaptive bitrate streaming technique that enables high-quality streaming of media content over the Internet delivered from conventional HTTP web servers. It works by breaking the media content into a sequence of small HTTP-based file segments, each segment containing a short interval of playback time of the overall content. The presentation is described through a MPD manifest file that contains information about the available adaptations sets and representations of the media content. The client can then select the most appropriate representation based on available bandwidth, device capabilities, and user preferences.

Building a Secure and Resilient Foundation for Banking at Intesa Sanpaolo wit...Docker, Inc.
Intesa Sanpaolo is one of the first banking groups in the Euro zone, with over 12 million customers and 4,600 branches in Italy. With a lot of traditional monolithic applications that are difficult to maintain and evolve, Intesa turned to Docker to help them both modernize the applications and improve their portability so that they could consider a multi-site architecture across multiple data centers. Using Docker Enterprise Edition (EE), Intesa took the first step to “break the monolith” by containerizing their infrastructure, self-described as an “Infrastructure-as-code” pattern, and now use Docker EE to orchestrate the applications across sites.
In this talk Diego Braga, Infrastructure System Specialist at Intesa, and Lorenzo Fontana, DevOps Engineer at Kiratech will share how they implemented Docker EE along with software-defined networking and storage solutions to validate Intesa’s architectural model and to build a geographical distributed multi-data center cluster, all while saving infrastructure costs and remaining compliant with regulations.
They will highlight their CI/CD process using Docker and Jenkins, how the developer and ops team are now working together to implement a DevOps methodology and Intesa’s ROI in using Docker EE. They will also share Intesa’s future plans, including creating mixed Linux/Windows clusters that use the same overlay network and on-prem/public cloud clusters opportunities.

The document discusses digital video basics such as luminance, chrominance, sampling rates, and compression methods used for digital video. It then examines the costs associated with preserving digital video long-term, including initial conversion costs, ongoing storage and maintenance costs, and the tradeoffs between lossy and lossless formats. Preserving video at the highest quality of 4:4:4 uncompressed comes at a very high initial and ongoing cost compared to more common lossy formats.
Towards Open Pervasive Displays (Keynote at Tekes UbiSummit, May 2011)Adrian Friday
Adrian Friday discusses opening up pervasive displays to allow more interactive content and applications. The current system uses channels to devolve control of content to trusted user groups, which has been successful. However, moving forward will require addressing challenges such as scale, personalization vs privacy, monetization, and supporting a global network of displays and developers. This could enable a wide variety of applications from local events to global issues. The goal is to transform spaces from passive advertising to places that reflect communities through globally shared content and applications.
