Screen flow is a powerful automation tool that is commonly designed for internal and external users. However, what about the guest users? We will dive into various methods of launching screen flows and understand how to make them publicly accessible, extending their usability to a broader audience. The presentation will also cover the implementation of security layers and highlight best practices for a smooth and protected user experience. Discover the potential of screen flows beyond conventional use and learn how to leverage them effectively.

The presentation underscores the strategic advantage of treating design systems not just as technical assets but as vital business components that require thoughtful management, robust planning, and strategic alignment with organizational goals. Key Points Covered: - Understanding Design Systems as Business Entities: Conceptualizing design systems as internal business entities can streamline their integration and evolution within a company. - Adoption and Expansion: Elaborating on the importance of tactical adoption across organizational structures, enhancing product suites to cater to user needs and broadening scope to mobile and content authoring solutions. - Data-Driven Development: Utilizing data insights for component development ensures that resources are allocated to create valuable, widely used features. - Financial Modeling for Design Systems: Developing sustainable funding models is crucial for long-term support and success of design systems. - Promoting Internal Buy-In: Stressing on strategies for promoting design systems within the organization to increase engagement and investment from internal stakeholders.

Syngulon’s technology expands the capacity for selection of microorganisms. The ability to select individual microbes with a behavior of interest is essential, whether for simple cloning at the bench, or for industry-scale production. Synthetic biology uses the concept of “bioengineering” to improve or modify existing genetic systems to create microbes with desired behaviors, and Syngulon uses this approach to develop its selection technologies. This selection technology is based on bacteriocins, ribosomally-produced peptides naturally made by most bacteria to kill competitive microbial species. These bacteriocins can have a limited or wide target range against other microbial species. This technology offers advantageous over antibiotic selection for several reasons: it avoids the use of antibiotics in the first place, helping to reduce the spread of antibiotic resistant microbes. The technology also increases product yield; as bacteriocins are generally smaller peptides, they do not impose a heavy metabolic burden on the producing cell. They can have a wide target specificity, helping to avoid genetic drift. Finally, our system is 100% plasmid-based (e.g. without chromosomal mutations), making it applicable for use in any E. coli strains.

This talk focuses on the practical aspects of integrating various telephony systems with Salesforce, drawing on examples from implementations in the Czech scene. It aims to inform attendees about the spectrum of telephony solutions available, from small to large scale, and their compatibility with Salesforce. The presentation will highlight key considerations for selecting a telephony provider that integrates smoothly with Salesforce, including important questions to support the decision-making process. It will also discuss methods for integrating existing telephony systems with Salesforce, aimed at companies contemplating or in the process of adopting this CRM platform. The discussion is designed to provide a straightforward overview of the steps and considerations involved in telephony and Salesforce integration, with an emphasis on functionality, compatibility, and the practical experiences of Czech companies.

This our Twelfth semiannual report on the global Cryptocurrency mining industry. Bitcoin is the world’s largest special purpose supercomputer. And it is globally decentralized. Millions of nodes all run the same open-source code to secure the Bitcoin network, create value, and put new transactions onto the distributed ledger. The latest Top500 list has just been announced at the ISC 2024 conference in Hamburg, and once again the Frontier supercomputer with 1.2 Exaflops peak performance is number one on the list. If assigned to SHA-256 hashing, Frontier would provide only the equivalent hash rate of about three cabinets of the latest high-end Bitcoin mining systems, costing less than 0.1% of Frontier’s cost. Michael Saylor, Chairman of MicroStrategy, has pointed out that GPUs are two orders of magnitude slower than the 5-nanometer technology of custom ASICs used for Bitcoin mining today. He makes the point that the Bitcoin network is unassailable by all of the hyperscale computing resources combined in AWS, Google, and Microsoft Azure cloud data centers today.
