This document profiles several important women in American history, including Molly Pitcher, Betsy Ross, Sacagawea, Dolley Madison, and Susan B. Anthony. Molly Pitcher carried water for soldiers during the Revolutionary War and received a pension for her service. Betsy Ross is known for making flags during the Revolutionary War and had a business as an upholsterer. Sacagawea served as a guide for the Lewis and Clark expedition, assisting with cooking, foraging, sewing and cleaning. Dolley Madison saved a portrait of George Washington and historic documents from burning during the War of 1812. Susan B. Anthony fought for women's voting rights and campaigned against slavery.
Abraham Lincoln was born in 1809 on a farm in Kentucky. He had to work hard and help his family. When he was 9, his mother died. A year later, his father got engaged. Harriet Tubman was born a slave in 1820. She helped over 300 slaves escape to freedom on the Underground Railroad. She was called "Moses" by the slaves she helped. George Washington was born in 1732. He became a soldier and was later elected the first President of the United States, serving from 1789 to 1797.
The document discusses Women's History Month and highlights important women and movements. The UN's 2016 theme was "Let us devote solid funding, courageous advocacy and unbending political will to achieving gender equality around the world."

Over half of Americans have never tried marijuana. White Americans are more likely to have tried it than Hispanic or African Americans. Most Americans think marijuana should be legal for medical use, with over 80% supporting this. Around half of Americans support legalizing recreational marijuana use overall, though support varies by ethnicity. When asked if alcohol or marijuana is more harmful, opinions are mixed but marijuana is seen as more harmful by a slight majority. Younger generations are more likely to see alcohol as more harmful than older generations. Most Americans say the war on drugs has not been successful in reducing drug use.
College graduates are more likely than those with some college or a high school education to have rescued their pet from an animal shelter. Over half of all dog and cat owners allow their pets to sleep in their bed. Around 40-50% of pet owners, especially millennials and generation X, purchase birthday or holiday gifts for their pets. The majority of pet owners have multiple pets.

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.
