Featuring You's mission is to bring scientific rigor to the world of advice. Advice is too easily given, mostly unverified and rarely generalisable. How do we solve this problem? We start by testing our assumptions about ourselves, and developing an understanding of where we lie on the curve.

"Stories at sunset" is a series of conversations with Percept’s people, recorded during the period of the organisation’s intentional sunset. A sunset is an in-between state, at the edges of day and night, before a new dawn. It offers us an opportunity to appreciate, and reflect on, the wisdom of the ‘in-between’, which has always been at the heart of Percept’s work: what might we discover in the wild, unbounded territories between disciplines, between ecology and economy, between social dis-ease and biological disease, between industry silos? What new futures might emerge from the cracks of these in-between spaces? How might the end of this cycle provide nourishment for the next? "There is nothing new under the sun, but there are new suns." – Octavia E. Butler In this short 6-minute episode, we're in conversation with Ursula Torr, discussing the translation of technical knowledge into practical solutions that actually work, the discoveries through Ursula's Percept journey, and the data lessons taken forward from Percept. If you’d like to join the conversation, you can do so by reaching out to Ursula to learn more about her work.

I am conducting an online workshop for Oreilly today and tomorrow. This covers basic patterns of distributed systems, primarily focusing on stuff like usage of Write Ahead Log, Quorum based replication, Paxos and the need for something like Raft usage in distributed data stores. #Oreilly #DistributedSystems https://lnkd.in/dHJDwJ4F

Ever insult a fellow panelist on stage? I did. Here’s what I learned about panels... Nobody wants to watch a panel of experts prove how smart they are. Panels are for the audience, NOT the panelists! They are an opportunity to educate and entertain the audience. They're not a chance to grandstand or show off. I first learned this from Michael Port at Heroic Public Speaking but now I've experienced it for myself. At Inbound this year, my fellow panelist encouraged me to insult him on stage! I was surprised by the request. But it was fun. The audience participated by responded our questions, raising their hands, nodding their heads, shouting questions, and laughing at our insults. Our panel discussion was engaging, informative, and entertaining. The best panelists have a conversation with the AUDIENCE, not just each other. What makes you tune out during a panel? Panelists: what's your go-to strategy for keeping the audience engaged?
