This Week I Learned - Week #22 2019
This Week I Learned -
* Network security solutions can be delivered as appliances on premises, as network virtual appliances (NVAs) that run in the cloud or as a cloud native offering (known as firewall-as-a-service). Azure Firewall is a cloud native network security service.
* Google and Amazon pioneered the use of A/B testing to optimize the layout of a web page.
* The TypeScript language shares familiarity with Java, C# and other languages making it easier to learn.
* Data engineers provision and set up data platform technologies that are on-premises and in the cloud. Data scientists perform advanced analytics to extract value from data. Their work can vary from descriptive analytics to predictive analytics. AI engineers work with AI services
* Snapchat has often been seen to represent a new direction in social media, with its users, particularly millennials, craving a more in-the-moment way of sharing and communicating via technology. With less emphasis on the accumulation of an ongoing status involving the presence of permanent material, Snapchat put focus on the ephemeral nature of fleeting encounters. Building on this distinction by launching as a mobile-first company, Snapchat, in the midst of the app revolution and the growing presence of cellular communication, didn't have to make the transition to mobile in the way other competing social media networks had to do - Wikipedia
* In 2017, Snap entered into a $400 million-a-year deal with the Google Cloud Platform, to provide the infrastructure and services that keep the Snapchat app running. The terms of Snap's agreement with Google allow it to use other public cloud providers, too. An example of a company that uses more than one provider is HTC, which as of mid-2o15 used Amazon Web Services for some stuff, Google Cloud Platform for a lot of its image processing, and Microsoft Azure in China, where Google doesn't do business - Business Insider
* Long term attachment involves the hormones oxytocin and vasopressin.
* Google Pay, which was launched in India as UPI-based payment app Tez in September 2017, has grown its monthly user base from 14 million in March 2018 to 45 million in March 2019, fuelled by the rise in UPI transactions. Transactions on Google Pay hit $81 billion in March 2019. UPI transaction volumes in the country have outpaced all other forms of digital payments, including wallets, mobile banking (NEFT, RTGS, IMPS) and cards (debit and credit cards).
* Shapecrunch makes 3D printed custom orthotics or custom-made insoles - layer of padding inside the shoe, on which your foot rests. The price of their insoles is INR 3500 (including taxes and foot consultation – INR 500) & they come with a 6 month replacement warranty
