Green
Manufacturing: Industry 4.0 and the Sustainable Future
Industry
4.0 technology and green manufacturing go hand-in-hand, and they are guiding
manufacturing conversations. Part of this “green dialogue” exists from
redirected priorities toward global climate health. However, another major
concern is enduring feasibility and hidden, long-term costs caused by poor
environmental behaviors. Now the bottom line is accounting for environmental
costs and long-term sustainability.
Factories
across industries have made advances in reducing single use plastic, carbon
footprints and water waste. Many have relied on Industry 4.0 technologies such
as automation, clean energy, data analysis and prediction, IoT and
digitization. Here are three exciting green manufacturing stories showing how
better for Earth is better for everyone.

Enterprise cloud automation and orchestration guide
It takes time, money and a skilled staff to run and
maintain an enterprise cloud efficiently. And, as those cloud environments grow
more complex, admins face more responsibilities. Cloud automation and
orchestration can step in to unburden IT teams.
Cloud automation and orchestration are must-haves in
management tools to reduce manual, repetitive tasks and minimize human error.
They create predictable workflows and manage resources that move between
private and public environments. With a streamlined process that cuts out
manual work, admins can deploy and redeploy applications more quickly.
Use this guide to get started with cloud automation
and orchestration, evaluate popular provider tools and avoid misuse.
Avengers:
Endgame exploits time travel and quantum mechanics as it tries to restore the
universe
At
the end of Avengers: Infinity War half the people (including heroes and
villains) in the universe were gone in the snap of a finger from Thanos (Josh
Brolin).
So
how can Avengers: Endgame (in cinemas from this week) try to bring them back?
Well,
with that tried and tested movie plot device: time travel. Plus a surprising
amount of scientific jargon thrown in, including quantum mechanics, Deutsch
propositions, eigenvalues and inverted Möbius strips.
But
don’t think that everything you hear during the movie was created in the minds
of some crazy screenwriter. Many of the time-travel concepts in Endgame are
connected, at least in name, to recent scientific theory, simulation and
speculation.
Let’s
dive into the science of quantum time travel and discuss whether eigenvalues
can really save the universe, but be warned: moderate spoilers ahead.

Who first came with
the concept of Computer Mouse, XEROX or Apple?
There are six answers to this question
at Quora.
Making
5G a reality
5G,
the fifth generation of wireless technology, advances mobile technology in
speed, number of permissible connections, latency, capacity, and reliability.
It has the ability to improve communication between people, but also to enable
people to interact with the growing ecosystem of connected machines around
them. The reality is that 5G will be the catalyst to significant long term
changes in the way people communicate, and what gets communicated. However, a
number of factors suggest that unlike past wireless technology advancements
where adoption was driven by consumers, the adoption of 5G will be enterprise
led.
AI Transformation Playbook How to lead your company into the AI era
AI
(Artificial Intelligence) technology is now poised to transform every industry,
just as electricity did 100 years ago. Between now and 2030, it will create an
estimated $13 trillion of GDP growth. While it has already created tremendous
value in leading technology companies such as Google, Baidu, Microsoft and
Facebook, much of the additional waves of value creation will go beyond the
software sector.
This
AI Transformation Playbook draws on insights gleaned from leading the Google
Brain team and the Baidu AI Group, which played leading roles in transforming
both Google and Baidu into great AI companies. It is possible for any
enterprise to follow this Playbook and become a strong AI company, though these
recommendations are tailored primarily for larger enterprises with a market
cap/valuation from $500M to $500B.
These
are the steps I recommend for transforming your enterprise with AI, which I
will explain in this playbook:
- Execute pilot projects to gain momentum
- Build an in-house AI team
- Provide broad AI training
- Develop an AI strategy
- Develop internal and external communications

100
common Windows 10 problems and how to solve them
Now
that Windows 10 has overtaken Windows 7 as the most popular operating system,
it’s bigger than ever. The sequel to Windows 8.1 has been out for more than
three years now, and has given users plenty of time to figure it out.
Luckily,
most Windows 10 problems have been patched out by Microsoft over the last few
years. There are still some security exploits and other bugbears that have
either lingered or have been caused by recent Windows updates. This is in part
because Windows 10 updates are still kind of a mess, the most recent of which,
the October 2018 Update, caused all kinds of issues, including Blue Screen
errors on Microsoft’s own Surface devices.
That
could be why the adoption of that update is only now starting to take off, just
in time for the next one.
If
all of these problems are any indication, Microsoft has a lot of work to do.
Plus, there are still a lot of Windows 10 problems that are still around, like
printer connectivity issues. But, who knows, maybe Microsoft will actually fix
some of these problems in the Windows 10 May 2019 Update, which should be out
soon.
Still,
if you’re having a hard time with the operating system, we’ve compiled a guide
to 100 of the most common Windows 10 problems, and how to fix them – whether
it’s a Windows 10 problem with a printer or connectivity issues. So, if you’re
trying to troubleshoot your device, keep reading.
Why a data scientist is not a data engineer
"A scientist can discover a new star, but he
cannot make one. He would have to ask an engineer to do it for him."
–Gordon Lindsay Glegg, The Design of Design (1969)
A few months ago, I wrote about the differences between
data engineers and data scientists. I talked about their skills and common
starting points.
An interesting thing happened: the data scientists
started pushing back, arguing that they are, in fact, as skilled as data
engineers at data engineering. That was interesting because the data engineers
didn’t push back saying they’re data scientists.
So, I’ve spent the past few months gathering data
and observing the behaviors of data scientists in their natural habitat. This
post will offer more information about why a data scientist is not a data
engineer.
Best cloud storage of 2019 online: free, paid and business options
Businesses and consumers are increasingly reliant on
cloud based storage solutions instead of in-house, on-premise local storage
hardware.
Your files are stored in the cloud, which is a
simplified view of what is essentially someone else's infrastructure (data
center, server, hard drive, connectivity etc).
Ever since Amazon popularised storage online with S3
(Simple Storage Service), 13 years ago, Google data shows that interest for
"Cloud Storage" alone has increased by 40x over the past decade. So
much so that people less frequently refer to it as "online storage".
Given the multitude of cloud storage providers out
there, one has to wisely choose a provider who will offer the maximum amount of
low-cost storage and bandwidth, while still keeping your data safe.
This list represents our top picks for cloud
storage: most offer a free tier allowing you to see if they're right for you
before handing over any hard-earned cash.
Business users will need to consider carefully what
their needs are as terms and conditions as well as quality of service is likely
to differ significantly from their consumer alter ego.
Google Lost a chance to hire me… Finally, Amazon hired me !!!
I am one of the luckiest people who interviewed at
Amazon HQ, Seattle. I will share with you my experience and how I cracked the
Amazon interviews. In July 2018, I interviewed at Google HQ. Google rejected me
despite cracking all their questions easily. I will also share how I used
Google’s rejection as a motivation for my success at Amazon’s Interview.
87 Revealing Job Interview Questions From Hiring Managers In
Business And Tech
Maybe you’re a hiring manager seeking better

should help you sharpen your blade ahead of an interview.
20 Diversion Tactics Highly Manipulative Narcissists, Sociopaths And
Psychopaths Use To Silence You
Toxic people such as malignant narcissists,
psychopaths and those with antisocial traits engage in maladaptive behaviors in
relationships that ultimately exploit, demean and hurt their intimate partners,
family members and friends. They use a plethora of diversionary tactics that
distort the reality of their victims and deflect responsibility. Although those
who are not narcissistic can employ these tactics as well, abusive narcissists
use these to an excessive extent in an effort to escape accountability for
their actions.
Here are the 20 diversionary tactics toxic people
use to silence and degrade you.

CSI
Mumbai & CDAC: INFASE, an internship facilitation scheme
One
of the major concerns for all engineering students and colleges is finding
suitable internship opportunities. This usually results in a lot of ad-hoc
actions like sending resume’ by students to all kinds of e-mail addresses
creating a lot of confusion and unwanted rejections. Similarly on the company
side, many are open to taking students for internships, but reaching out to get
quality students is a challenge. Keeping this scenario in mind, CSI Mumbai
chapter in collaboration with CDAC Mumbai has launched INFASE, an internship
facilitation scheme.
