This Week I Learned -
* One ExpressRoute contract can connect to all regions within a geopolitical region (e.g. All EU DCs) image
* Azure features such as Reserved VM Instances, Azure Hybrid Benefit, Constrained vCPU for SQL/Oracle database based SAP systems, and Azure Site Recovery for DR, offer better cost savings for hosting SAP workloads on Azure when compared to on-premises hardware.
* Mover supports migration from over a dozen cloud service providers – including Box, Dropbox, Egnyte, and Google Drive – into OneDrive and SharePoint, enabling seamless file collaboration across Microsoft 365 apps and services, including the Office apps and Microsoft Teams.
* Adjusted Compounded Annualized Growth Rate (CAGR) is known as Extended Internal Rate of Return (XIRR). Excel does this XIRR adjustment using an approximation technique called the Newton-Raphson method
* The full recitation of one of India´s most ancient Sanskrit texts, the Shukla Yajurveda, takes six hours.
* Urdu and Hindi languages are sisters in true sense of the word as they share 70% of the same words. Additions from Persian and Arabic languages add linguistic sheen to the Urdu language making up for the other 30% of it. In fact, 99% of Urdu verbs have their roots in Sanskrit/Prakrit. The Urdu script is an extension of the Persian alphabet, which itself is an extension of the Arabic alphabet - Aamozish
* A serving of grapes has much higher numbers of anti-carcinogenic polyphenols than red wine, so it’s not recommended to indulge in a glass of red just for these benefits.
* Salud is a Spanish word meaning “health.” For English speakers, it's most familiar meaning is for the toast Cheers!
* Being productive is less about the time available and more about having your priorities in order. You may never have enough time to comfortably do everything that needs to be done. The best way to master time is to decide what actually deserves to be done - attention management.
* One of the best ways to embrace uncertainty and be more probabilistic in your approach is to learn to think like a professional gambler. From a professional gambler’s perspective, the key to placing a good bet is to continually update your position with relevant insights that impact the probability of an event occurring. Rather than trying to be right, gamblers strive to be less wrong with time. Developing a probabilistic mindset allows you to be better prepared for the uncertainties and complexities of the Algorithmic Age. Even when events are determined by an infinitely complex set of factors, probabilistic thinking can help us identify the most likely outcomes and the best decisions to make - HBR
* The song "Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)" popularized the title expression "que sera, sera" as an English-language phrase indicating "cheerful fatalism". The saying "Que Sera, Sera" is always in an English-speaking context, and has no history in Spain, Portugal, Italy, or France, and in fact is ungrammatical in all four Romance languages. It is composed of Spanish or Italian words superimposed on English syntax. It was evidently formed by a word-for-word mistranslation of English "What will be will be" - Wikipedia
* Former Australian Cricket Captain Steve Waugh's term for sledging is gamesmanship or mental disintegration
* "The more I bowled, the better I felt. I love pressure. It made me relax and feel even more comfortable" - Glenn McGrath, Australian pace-bowling legend
