This Week I Learned - Week #282
This Week I Learned -
* Azure AD B2B (Business-to-Business) & B2C are service features of Azure AD
* Some database workloads like SQL Server or Oracle require high memory, storage, and I/O bandwidth, but not a high core count. Many database workloads are not CPU-intensive. Azure offers certain VM sizes where you can constrain the VM vCPU count to reduce the cost of software licensing, while maintaining the same memory, storage, and I/O bandwidth. Azure constrained core virtual machines cost (including OS licensing) the same as the original size. For example, the current VM size Standard_GS5 comes with 32 vCPUs, 448 GB RAM, 64 disks (up to 256 TB), and 80,000 IOPs or 2 GB/s of I/O bandwidth. The new VM sizes Standard_GS5-16 and Standard_GS5-8 comes with 16 and 8 active vCPUs respectively, while maintaining the rest of the specs of the Standard_GS5 for memory, storage, and I/O bandwidth.
* OpenShift has stricter security policies than default Kubernetes
* Amazon Polly is a machine learning service that turns text into lifelike speech allowing users to create applications that talk and build new categories of speech-enabled products. With an aim to enhance the experience for Indian customers, the addition of Hindi language support will help Amazon reach out to the 500 million Hindi speaking people worldwide.Currently, Aditi and Raveena are the two Indian English voices available on Amazon Polly. Bilingual support in response to requests from customers for high-quality speech synthesis in both Hindi and Indian English, especially in scenarios where the two languages are mixed together and spoken, has been introduced. Customers can now provide mixed input in a variety of dialects including Devanagari Hindi, Romanized Hindi, and English, as well as complete Hindi text input in Devanagari script
PolicyBazaar.com, one of India’s largest insurance marketplaces, is also using Amazon Polly’s bilingual support for their in-house interactive voice response (IVR) calling service
* If you’re one of those people who says ‘like’ or ‘you know’ or ‘um’ and you’re aware of it, then self-monitoring may be the simplest way to fix the problem. Notice yourself in a relatively low-stress situation – say, a conversation – and just stop talking when the urge to um comes over you. Don’t stop forever, just long enough to let a little pause in your conversation flow rather than the tic.
* According to a MIT computer...around 2040 to 2050, civilised life as we know it on this planet will cease to exist.
* Mfilterit is an ad fraud prevention suite for marketers
* ..in the UK, service in restaurants is typically included at 12.5%. In rare instances where it's excluded, it's generally considered polite to leave a tip of at least 10 to 15% - The Independent
* At one time, Bloomsbury Publishing India Pvt Ltd withdrew all copies of the book 'The Descent of Air India', written by a former executive director of Air India, Jitender Bhargava, after former aviation minister Praful Patel served it a legal notice
