the same folks who declared ‘Freedom Fries’ demand their Pepe Le Pew because of a “3-line whip”

 the same folks who declared Freedom Fries demand their Pepe Le Pew because of a 3 line whip

With senior royals still ‘reeling’ following a series of explosive allegations by the couple, she has issued a ‘three-line whip’ to prevent staff discussing the situation publicly. (A three-line whip is a strict instruction to attend and vote according to the party’s position, breach of which would normally have serious consequences. Permission to not attend may be given by the whip, but a serious reason is needed.)

Everybody’s favorite cultural caricatures came out from beneath their rocks because they have nothing to contribute while we wait for the final chapter in the Trump era.

The same idiots who hate the French and ignorantly rebranded French(sic) Fries “Freedom Fries” now want to mock the contextualizing of cultural products now newly contextualized.

The usual suspects have dragged out some awkward false equivalencies because they’d prefer drawing attention from a recent failed coup and a disgraced ex-POTUS*.

It’s all Dan Quayle and Murphy Brown again where the GQP demonstrates not only a lack of imagination, but the same stupidity that compels them to send their money straight to the Trump superPAC. The US equivalent of the “three-line whip” is the GOP vote against certifying the election even after the insurrection on 1/6. Sounds more refined than a “gag order” protecting a leak, or in the case of Kevin McCarthy in 2016 saying Trump gets paid by Putin.

This announcement comes shortly after The Walt Disney Company launched its Stories Matter initiative. As part of this effort, the company drafted in a group of experts to advise and assess its content and ensure that it accurately represents global audiences. On the site, Disney has included examples of the disclaimers now included with select titles, along with an explanation of some of the negative depictions.
The disclaimer reads: “This program includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures. These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now. Rather than remove this content, we want to acknowledge its harmful impact, learn from it and spark conversation to create a more inclusive future together Disney is committed to creating stories with inspirational and aspirational themes that reflect the rich diversity of the human experience around the globe.”
This updated content advisory notice started appearing in front of controversial movies and shorts in the Disney+ library towards the end of last year.

 ProBeat: Microsoft wants TikTok for the same reason the U.S. fears China

VB Transform

Watch every session from the AI event of the year

On-Demand

Watch Now

It’s been a month since U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the Trump administration was considering banning TikTok. Plenty has happened since, but the situation really accelerated last weekend. In the span of a couple hours, we learned that President Trump was planning to sign an order directing China’s ByteDance to divest its ownership of TikTok and that Microsoft and ByteDance had offered the White House a deal to keep TikTok in the U.S.

Chaos ensued. Trump gave Microsoft 45 days to seal a TikTok deal. Microsoft confirmed it was interested in TikTok’s U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand operations. Trump issued a September 15 sell-by deadline for TikTok and declared he was fine with Microsoft buying TikTok, but that the U.S. government should get a “substantial amount of money” as part of the deal. Finally, yesterday we learned that Microsoft might be pursuing TikTok’s global operations, and Trump signed an executive order to block all U.S. transactions with ByteDance (and Tencent) starting September 20.

What is all this really about? It’s about AI, data, and power.

Why TikTok?

To truly understand what’s going on here, we have to look at what makes TikTok unique. There isn’t one single thing, of course — success in social requires many puzzle pieces, including content, momentum, and scale.

TikTok is surprisingly diverse — many have noticed that those who failed to break out on Instagram because they aren’t “photogenic white people” are finding success on TikTok (though it does have a racism problem) because the algorithm is more finely tuned to engaging content.

TikTok’s AI algorithm is the main differentiator here. Yes, other successful social networks use algorithms. But ByteDance’s entire business is built on a foundation of AI-powered apps. Plus, TikTok sets itself apart by not having a feed, instead relying on a swiping navigation system that puts content front and center. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, and so on all have feeds powered by algorithms. The exception, Snapchat, which is also popular with younger demographics, is testing TikTok-style navigation.

What this means in practice is that whatever TikTok’s algorithm serves you takes over your entire phone screen. To add to the immersion, TikTok only serves videos. Not only has video increasingly been dominating social media, as anyone could have predicted, the data signals for the AI algorithm are also much stronger. TikTok quickly learns your preferences based on what videos you like, what videos your friends watch, what videos attract your attention based on who you follow, and even whether you let the video play or not.

The AI algorithm drives everything in TikTok.

It’s so good, in fact, that in 2018, ByteDance had to add an addiction-reduction feature, first to Douyin (TikTok’s predecessor exclusive for the Chinese market) and then to TikTok. The feature uses some of the app’s top influencers to encourage users to take a break every 90 minutes.

What Microsoft wants

On its face, Microsoft’s interest in TikTok makes little sense. Microsoft is about productivity, not entertainment. Is access to mobile consumers really worth the headache of content moderation and other regulatory risks?

In July 2014, just a few months into his new role, CEO Satya Nadella penned a 3,187-word memo spelling out that Microsoft is a “productivity and platform company” in a “mobile-first and cloud-first world.” Over time, AI received more attention (certainly more than mobile), but the focus on productivity remained, helping fuel its return among the tech giants.

TikTok is no productivity app. And while Microsoft does continue to dabble in the consumer space (see Xbox), the company has increasingly focused on the enterprise. It’s possible Microsoft is looking at its lucrative LinkedIn acquisition (arguably the only “productivity” social network) and thinking that TikTok could be an even bigger boon. But I think that’s the icing on the cake.

The cake itself is the data powering that addictive AI algorithm. If this was just about a popular mobile app or a popular social app, Microsoft has plenty of headache-less options to choose from. No, this is about TikTok specifically, and what the data it brings to the table that no other mobile app or even social app does.

The other tech giants already have social data to train their AI algorithms on — Amazon has Twitch, Google has YouTube, and Facebook has multiple social apps where users post video content. Microsoft would be foolish not to at least try to scoop up the hottest social video app that happens to generate plenty of content from diverse communities. It could use TikTok content itself to, for example, spot the latest trends, train software to lip-read, and improve speech recognition.

What the U.S. wants

Where the U.S. distracter-in-chief is involved, we must be especially careful to examine the situation on its merits. Similar to the Huawei fracas, there is no evidence that ByteDance has been compromised by the Chinese government. But the mere possibility is enough for the damage to be done. And doing damage is the point.

In the days following Pompeo’s announcement, Amazon “accidentally” banned and then unbanned TikTok internally, Wells Fargo actually banned TikTok, the DNC and RNC warned their campaigns about using TikTok, and the U.S. House of Representatives voted to remove TikTok from federal devices.

Meanwhile, TikTok creators started to flee to YouTube, Byte, and Triller. Smelling blood, Facebook accelerated its own TikTok rival plans. Instagram offered popular TikTok creators monetary incentives, in some cases hundreds of thousands of dollars, to use Reels. Facebook expanded Instagram Reels from India, Brazil, France, and Germany to over 50 countries.

For its part, TikTok announced plans to hire 10,000 U.S. employees over three years and promised to pay U.S. creators over $ 1 billion, quintupling its previously announced $ 200 million figure.

This is exactly what the U.S., or at least the Trump administration, wants — trouble for TikTok, trouble for China, and frankly a diversion from its own problems.

What next? All we really know is that Trump has set a deadline. Which is to say, we know nothing. He can just as easily extend it or change his tune. There is precedent for both.

Speaking of precedent, that is the real danger here. Does the U.S. really want governments forcing foreign businesses to divest or sell, while taking a cut? Does the U.S. really want to build its own Great Firewall? We’re increasingly moving away from a single internet to multiple nets, all with their own regulations based on vague national security allegations.

What ByteDance wants

This one is the easiest to answer and the hardest to accept. Ideally, ByteDance wants to be in charge of its own destiny. That ship has long sailed. And so, ByteDance at the very least wants to be rewarded for building China’s most internationally successful internet product.

ByteDance is China’s first global software startup success story — many tech companies have thrived in China but struggled to take their business global. ByteDance stands out from all other Chinese internet giants because its growth potential isn’t limited to that country alone. Unfortunately for ByteDance, going global also means it has found itself in the middle of a U.S. and China power struggle. In the AI arms race, the U.S. is ahead and China is closing in.

ByteDance has the AI and the data. Microsoft wants that power for itself. The U.S. wants to take it away.

Rubi/Mathematica gives different values for the same integrand

May 24, 2020   BI News and Info
 Rubi/Mathematica gives different values for the same integrand

Consider this integral:
$ $
\int_0^\pi d\theta \sin\theta\, {1 \over \gamma^q}\left((1-\gamma^2)^2\sqrt{1 \over 1-\left(1-(1-\gamma^2)^4\right)\cos^2\theta} – 1\right)^q
$ $

for $ 0\leq \gamma < 1$ . We can caclulate it directly, or integrate

$ $
\int_0^\pi d\theta \sin\theta\, {1 \over \gamma^q}\left(b\sqrt{1 \over 1-a \cos^2\theta} – 1\right)^q
$ $

and afterward replace $ b\to (1-\gamma^2)^2$ and $ a \to \left(1-(1-\gamma^2)^4\right)$ . Also, the term $ 1/\gamma^q$ is a constant and can be inside or outside the integration. So, there are four scenarios. Below is the code for these scenarios that uses Rubi for integration.

Here is the code:

<< Rubi`

For[q = 1, q <= 15,

  A1 = Assuming[
    gamma \[Element] Reals && 0 <= gamma < 1 && theta >= 0 && 
     theta \[Element] Reals,
    Int[Sin[theta] 1/gamma^
      q ((1 - gamma^2)^2 Sqrt[1/(
         1 - (1 - (1 - gamma^2)^4) Cos[theta]^2)] - 1)^q, theta]];
  A2 = 1/gamma^
    q Assuming[
     gamma \[Element] Reals && 0 <= gamma < 1 && theta >= 0 && 
      theta \[Element] Reals,
     Int[Sin[
        theta] ((1 - gamma^2)^2 Sqrt[1/(
          1 - (1 - (1 - gamma^2)^4) Cos[theta]^2)] - 1)^q, theta]];
  A3 = Assuming[
     gamma \[Element] Reals && 0 <= gamma < 1 && a \[Element] Reals && 
      0 <= a < 1 && b \[Element] Reals && 0 <= b < 1 && theta >= 0 && 
      theta \[Element] Reals,
     Int[Sin[theta] 1/gamma^q (b Sqrt[1/(1 - a Cos[theta]^2)] - 1)^q, 
      theta]] /. {a -> (1 - (1 - gamma^2)^4), b -> (1 - gamma^2)^2};
  A4 = 1/gamma^
     q Assuming[
      gamma \[Element] Reals && 0 <= gamma < 1 && a \[Element] Reals && 
       0 <= a < 1 && b \[Element] Reals && 0 <= b < 1 && theta >= 0 &&
        theta \[Element] Reals,
      Int[Sin[theta] (b Sqrt[1/(1 - a Cos[theta]^2)] - 1)^q, 
       theta]] /. {a -> (1 - (1 - gamma^2)^4), b -> (1 - gamma^2)^2};

  B1 = Limit[A1, theta -> Pi, Direction -> "FromBelow"] - 
    Limit[A1, theta -> 0, Direction -> "FromAbove"];
  B2 = Limit[A2, theta -> Pi, Direction -> "FromBelow"] - 
    Limit[A2, theta -> 0, Direction -> "FromAbove"];
  B3 = Limit[A3, theta -> Pi, Direction -> "FromBelow"] - 
    Limit[A3, theta -> 0, Direction -> "FromAbove"];
  B4 = Limit[A4, theta -> Pi, Direction -> "FromBelow"] - 
    Limit[A4, theta -> 0, Direction -> "FromAbove"];

  Print["---------------------------------------"];
  Print["q = ", q, " --> B1/.gamma\[Rule] 0.1 = ", B1 /. gamma -> 0.1];
  Print["q = ", q, " --> B2/.gamma\[Rule] 0.1 = ", B2 /. gamma -> 0.1];
  Print["q = ", q, " --> B3/.gamma\[Rule] 0.1 = ", B3 /. gamma -> 0.1];
  Print["q = ", q, " --> B4/.gamma\[Rule] 0.1 = ", B4 /. gamma -> 0.1];
  q = q + 1;

  ];

As you see below, for small values of $ q$ all the four approaches give the same value, but as $ q$ increases they start to give different values. I am curious about what is the problem here and how to fix it? which outcome is the correct value?

More of the Same: CFOs are Still Buried in Spreadsheets

October 21, 2019   NetSuite

Posted by Barney Beal, Content Director

 “Spreadsheets are corporate poetry; when constructed elegantly enough, they can be used to communicate sophisticated ideas to audiences who wouldn’t otherwise be receptive to details.”

That’s according to Eric Seufert, author of Freemium Economics: Leveraging Analytics and User Segmentation to Drive Revenue. And we’re betting that the majority of CFOs couldn’t agree more.

In NetSuite Brainyard’s recent white paper, “State of the CFO Role,” 186 CFOs respondents said they spend an average of 2.25 hours in spreadsheets every day. That’s more time in spreadsheets than any other software in their toolkits.

In some ways, that’s never going to change. CFOs just love the ability to export and manipulate data with the wide-ranging flexibility of spreadsheets.

“I’m never going to move completely away from Excel,” said Maurisse Johnson, CFO of Solutions Journalism Network. “My dependence on Excel has lessened in terms of day-to-day manipulation, but there are instances where two disparate data sources need to be combined.”

The data also points to another key issue: finance departments are a lot less automated than many of us would expect. The top priorities for reporting CFOs in the next two years are:

Screen%20Shot%202019 10 11%20at%201.58.26%20PM More of the Same: CFOs are Still Buried in SpreadsheetsThe key to making most of these priorities happen will be a commitment to moving away from spreadsheets.

Many of the reasons CFOs turn to spreadsheets go away with more robust solutions. And CFOs know it, but it can still be a perilous transition.

“I love Excel to death,” said Christian Edoria, Director of Finance & Operations for Art in Action, a nonprofit that provides art lessons to over 600 schools using new and upcycled items. “But I want to be flexible and adaptable to a changing environment – including anything that gets me away from the lines of a spreadsheet.”

To cut down on the spreadsheet time-suck, CFOs should target the type of work that lands them in spreadsheets in the first place. For many, it’s having a flexible data set that they can use to create meaningful charts and graphs. CFOs are so accustomed to having limited options when it comes to data manipulation in financial software that the spreadsheet export is second nature.

Reporting capabilities in accounting platforms like NetSuite have matured dramatically in recent years.

“NetSuite’s ability to slice and dice is the greatest thing since sliced cheese,” said Johnson. “I’m learning how to build reports through the online courses, so I don’t have to dump the data into Excel and manipulate it.”

Another key driver is data visibility across the organization, which is incredibly difficult to provide when you’re tying together disparate data sources in spreadsheets.

“Centralizing all of our data in NetSuite, where we can perform allocation tracking real-time, helps us understand all the costs that go into each art box we ship out,” Edora said.

Even just the move to new financial software will reduce spreadsheet usage with opportunities to automate tasks and connect mission-critical platforms, like CRM and inventory management systems. Almost 40% of CFOs surveyed indicate that automated invoicing will support their efforts to improve cash flow.

Business Process Management And Robotic Process Automation: Two Sides Of The Same Automation Coin

September 28, 2019   BI News and Info

Part 8 in the “Intelligent RPA” series about the evolution of robotic process automation and its potential impact on digital transformation.

Historically, companies have always been organized into silos. And when they started to deploy information technology, they implemented information systems that themselves were siloed: human resource management, accounting management, procurement management, logistics management, etc. The desire to streamline business processes has existed for years with huge demand for business process management (BPM) and more recently with robotic process automation (RPA).

What is BPM?

Business process management is a strategic, holistic, and structured approach for optimizing notable repetitive tasks. It deals with process orchestration, extension, optimization, and, of course, innovation. BPM manages structured business processes by bringing human and automated activities into a managed sequence of steps. It fosters teamwork, streamlines collaboration, and automates production workflows.

What is RPA?

Robotic process automation is a tactical, focused, and agile approach for accelerating manual processes. It deals with task automation in a user-centric way. Compatible with any application existing in the information system, RPA handles unmodeled, “naturally grown” processes with UI-based automation. Automation is necessary to integrate legacy systems where APIs don’t exist and direct access to the data is not available. RPA minimizes keying errors, speeds up work, and cuts costs. It frees employees from mundane, repetitive tasks and leverages their human skills for more important tasks.

Why not use BPM and RPA together?

BPM and RPA are fully complementary. They can be integrated seamlessly to leverage their advantages for intelligent automation.

Today’s solutions encompass services that manage workflows and business rules for decision logic to provide end-to-end process visibility. Architects can design and implement structured, automated processes in the cloud, while intelligent RPA helps run repetitive, rule-based, and user interface-focused tasks. An intelligent BPM (iBPM) workflow can trigger intelligent RPA bots and vice versa. RPA can be used as a middleware to gather data from core systems or external websites.

Let’s imagine a use case in banking for onboarding new customers:

  1. A request from a prospect, coming from an email received from the bank’s website or a visit to a bank’s branch, is handled by an intelligent RPA bot.
  1. The bot triggers the “Customer Onboarding” process in the workflow.
  1. The bank clear checks that it is not a cold lead and sends the hot leads to an attended RPA bot – a digital assistant, in our terminology – that helps gather data to execute the know-your-customer mandatory checks for new-customer approval.
  1. After approval, the workflow automatically creates the bank account and manages provisioning for the checkbook, credit card, web, and mobile app access, and finally sends a confirmation email to the new customer.

Additional scenarios could be found in structured enterprise processes, which can be made even more efficient with flexible task automation for things like invoice handling, asset and purchase order approvals, IT ticket creation, seat allocation as part of employee onboarding, request for material price changes, and so on.

Integrated this way, intelligent BPM and intelligent RPA can drive your organization to an unprecedented level of automation, providing the best for your employees and customers and accelerating the time to business outcomes.

Multiple data source definitions on the On-premises data gateway for the same data source

July 6, 2019   Self-Service BI

Gateway management until recently, supported only one data source definition per data source on an on-premises data gateway. This posed limitations for gateway admins as they couldn’t create multiple data sources to the same data source each with different credentials based on the required security context for each one. The workaround would be to spin up a new gateway for every such new data source.

Note: The data source name still needs to be unique for every data source definition.

Below you can see that a gateway admin has created two data source definitions for the same database AdventureWorks2017 on the same server.

Once you publish a Power BI report, in the Datasets settings, you will be able to see the list of data sources you have access to as below. You can now select one of these data sources.

If you are a gateway admin, you could also additionally choose to add a new data source(as shown below) and that would take you to the Manage Gateways page to create a new data source.

If you have access to only one data source, you must explicitly select that data source.

Once all required data sources have been set up and selected, click on apply to bind this dataset to the selected data source on the gateway.

Note: This feature is currently available only for datasets. We plan to release the same feature for dataflows soon. Currently in dataflows, until this change is rolled out, the first available data source would be automatically selected.

Do try out this feature and provide your feedback. As always we would love to hear from you, learn from your experience and improve based on your feedback.

Thank you!

 what is the probability of other person having the same birthday as yours in a group of 70 people? given I know my birthday? [migrated]

I understand the birthday problem wherein the probability of 2 people having the same birthday in a room of 70 people is 99.9% but what about the probability of any person in the same room having my birthday? is it the same or is this a conditional probability problem?
