This Week I Learned - Week #227
* Azure VM Chooser can help in picking the most optimal Azure VM
* Containers are commonly used in conjunction with a microservices architecture, although they can also be used to containerize web apps or services which follow any architectural pattern. When creating and deploying a container, the size of its image is far smaller with .NET Core than with .NET Framework. Use .NET Core for your server application when you have cross-platform needs & you are targeting microservices especially using Docker containers. .NET Framework and .NET Core can both be used for building server-side applications with .NET. .NET Framework is suitable for your server applications when you are using third-party .NET libraries or NuGet packages or .NET technologies like ASP.NET Web Forms, WPF, Windows Forms are not available for .NET Core.
* redBus is the world’s largest bus booking platform having completed 100 million bus rides in India. Their desktop web platform caters to different geographies (India, Singapore, Malaysia, Peru, Colombia and Indonesia as of now) & is hosted on AWS. redBus follows a micro service architecture & is built on .NET Core
* ImageNet, a data set of more than a million images, has become a go-to resource for training computer vision AI.
* Over 21 lakh Indians applied for H-1B Visas in 11 years
* Spread over nearly 10 acres in Gachibowli, Hyderabad, Amazon's biggest campus in India as well as the largest outside US, is expected to be ready by 2019.
* Bengaluru, as she has been officially called since November 2014, is the hub of the $150 billion information technology (IT) sector that contributes nearly 10% to India’s GDP. She single-handedly generated $45 billion in IT revenues in 2014. She is India’s fifth-most populous urban agglomeration, with an estimated over 10 million residents in 2017, up nearly 200% from 3.4 million in 1985. To accommodate all those new people, she has expanded by 360% from 161 square kilometres in 1979 to 709 sq km today. 68% of her land area had vegetation in 1973; by 2012, that had fallen to a little above 23% - QZ.com
* The ace Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt debuted his 'Bolt' pose at the Beijing Olympics in 2008
* According to the World Health Organisation 2010 Report, India accounts for eight million blind persons, 54.5 million people with low vision and 62.6 million people with visual impairment, which makes India home to the second largest visually challenged population globally. Zee Cinema will be the first movie channel in India to premiere a film curated for the visually impaired. It will also have subtitles for hearing-impaired audiences - The Hindu Businessline
* Delhi based Rahul Eggs serves 300 types of egg dishes
* The two most frequently used influencing styles are Push and Pull. Push style is characterized by three specific verbal behaviors: Proposing Content (suggesting an idea); Giving Information (providing the rationale); and Shutting Out (talking across others). Push works well in conditions where the influencer has positional authority. Other situations that call for Push include where you have the expertise, where there’s only one solution, where the decision has already been made, where decisions need to be made quickly and when you can enforce compliance. Pullers use three behaviors in particular: Seeking Proposals (e.g. How should we best do this?) Seeking Information (e.g. Who has the relevant experience?) and the rare but highly prized skill of Building – extending or developing a proposal made by another person. Pull style can also be effective when influencing upwards, where resistance is likely to be high when there’s more than one option when there are no time pressures and where any movement is better than none. It’s also useful in fostering collaboration and in coaching others to use their resources. Pull might take a little longer but the rewards outweigh the costs - Indezine
