Elon Musk's Tesla Solarglass Beats Halloween Pumpkin
Tesla and Space X founder Elon Musk has got Twitterenians' attention for the second lately, following his earlier name change to "Treelon".
Elon Musk tweeted a video on Thursday showing how a Halloween pumpkin falls down on durable glass solar tiles and smashes into pieces, while Tesla solar glass survives without a scratch.
Twitter users quickly took to comment on the footage.
Yesterday, Musk also triggered lulz on Twitter after he changed his display name to "Treelon" and pledged $1 million to a tree-planting campaign.


Polaroid Mutation
Last week, we saw how Clojure’s approach to syntax can influence the way we think while using other languages. Today, we’ll see how Clojure’s strong opinions about state change can similarly affect the way we think in our language of choice.
Some languages embrace mutation (the changing of variables’ values at runtime). Python and Ruby classes have publicly-settable everything and although this can get you into trouble it can also lead to some pretty slick tools like Ruby on Rails. Clojure, on the other hand, fears mutation.
.NET Strings are Immutable
.NET’s System.String
is a good example of Clojure’s approach to collections. Once you have a string instance, you cannot change its content. If you want to change the string you are currently referencing, you have to instead create a whole new string (often based on the original), and then point your reference variable at the new one.
Although potentially-wasteful with memory, this approach has saved us from a lot of potential complexity. When I pass a string around, I know it’s not going to be altered by some rogue library call. I can expose a string across threads without fear that it will be in mid-change when I try to look at it.
This immutability can be problematic for large strings that are being frequently ‘changed’, but in practice most of the change we deal with is with small strings where the performance hit is trivial. In those cases where it really matters, we can use something like StringBuilder
to avoid being wasteful with memory and time.
.NET Lists Mutate
.NET’s List<T>
, on the other hand, is mutable. We can think of strings as an immutable collection of char
values. A List<char>
, on the other hand, can be changed rather than simply replaced. You can add, remove, and alter each item in the collection, and anyone looking at the object will see those changes right away, whether they like it or not.
Clojure Collections are Immutable
The built-in data structures in Clojure are immutable. The two main types here are lists (corresponding with .NET List<T>
), and maps (corresponding with Dictionary<K,V>
).
In Clojure, when you have a list containing 1000 elements and you wish to append item number 1001, you don’t change the contents of the original list. Rather, you get a whole new list containing 1001 elements. This is exactly what we would do with a .NET string to append a single char.
For maps, adding a new key/value pair likewise starts by copying the original collection and including the new pair. Anyone who is still holding a reference to the original sees the original contents unaffected.
That may seem wasteful, since the use cases for lists are far more varied than for strings. Aren’t we going to feel the pain of this waste too easily in practice for it to be a good idea?
Thankfully, Clojure collections are clever. Behind the scenes, lists and a maps are really trees. The items are stored in the leaves, and whenever we need to create a “whole new collection”, the new collection will share as much of the original tree as it can sneakily get away with. The new collection is safe to share data with the original tree because, after all, nobody is allowed to change it.
Despite storing items in a tree, Clojure lists can still provide the near constant-time lookups we expect from lists. These trees are exceptionally wide, but not very deep. Even a fully-populated tree, with more items in it than you’d ever care to work with, is only about 6 levels deep. Slower than a .NET array lookup, for sure, but still O(1). Well, O(1-ish).
Course-Grained Mutation
Clojure does allow some mutation. It would be difficult to use a language if it had no notion of assignment statements. A small number of special reference types are available. These are objects which can point at some other object, and this pointer can be requested to change to point to some new object. These types are each opinionated about how this re-pointing can act with respect to threads, but the basic idea is that they allow for course-grained mutation.
Let’s say I have one of these reference objects currently pointing at a map containing many name/value pairs, and that I’m using a reference object that ensures transactional re-pointing in the presence of multiple threads. If I have to perform a significant change to the collection, I’d like to be able to take my time to calculate the new version of the collection, without having to lock the original, so the other threads can keep on trucking along. Once I’ve calculated my new collection, sharing a subtree behind the scenes with the original, I’ll ask my reference object to re-point to the new collection as an atomic operation. Now, all the other threads will see the new state.
C# represents state change by physically altering an object in-place. Clojure represents state change by tracking a series of object snapshots.  Instead, you have a stack of river-photos representing the key moments of its flow.
Minimizing Mutation in Your Language of Choice
Clojure’s weird, and weird is good.
Some of the worst spaghetti code I’ve ever dealt with was hard to untangle precisely because of the fine-grained state change involved. The first thing I do when faced with a tricky mess like this is to start identifying those parts of the code that are already lacking mutation, pulling them out into pure functions. Next, I look for ways to rephrase the existing mutation-heavy bits with equivalent pure alternatives. Often, the percent of your codebase that actually needs to deal with mutating state is remarkably small.

裙带资本主义：香港排第一
《经济学人》裙带资本主义指数排行榜：香港第一 中国落后于美国
2014-05-05
您也可以 先下载一个应用程序（App），有空再慢慢看。
美国19世纪末20世纪初的“镀金时代”被视为垄断资本主义的高峰，像洛克菲勒这样的财阀掌握了国家大部分的财富，并通过贿赂政客为自己谋利。随之而来的大萧条一度让西方国家对此警醒，建立起更公平的经济体系。但英国《经济学人》杂志近期指出，如今发达国家正迎来第二次“裙带资本主义”时代，而新兴国家也在经历着历史上的第一次财富大集中。《经济学人》今年3月发布的“全球裙带资本主义指数”显示，香港已成为全球裙带资本主义最严重的地方，财富集中度接近80%。一向标榜自由经济的英国、美国也分别排名世界第15、17位，中国则排名世界第19，远远好于人们的印象。俄罗斯（2）、新加坡（5）、台湾（8）、印度（10）等新兴经济体均排在高位。
裙带资本主义全球排名
英国著名经济期刊《经济学人》今年3月报道称，在最近20年的全球化中，1%的富豪阶层正在不正当地获取巨大的经济利益，把世界变成了一个新的“玛蒙之国”（Mammon是基督教传说中的恶魔，代表金钱和财富）。
裙带资本主义全球排名
报道称，这些富豪正热衷于通过“寻租”来攫取利益，他们致力于分得蛋糕上更大的部分，而不是把蛋糕做得更大。赌场、能源、国防等领域成为富豪“寻租”的重灾区。
在过度营销的时代，我们提供“更好的内容”和“更快的速度”。
Retter is Better, WE Create and Deliver Real Value!
《经济学人》制作了一张“全球裙带资本主义指数”排行榜。该指数参考了《福布斯》的全球富豪排名，来计算从事寻租重灾区行业的富豪的个人财产，以及他们的财产占国家（地区）GDP的比例。
《经济学人》公布了全球23个主要国家和地区的排名情况，包括5个发达国家和10个较大的发展中国家（地区），以及另外8个经济规模较小但通常被认为取代严重的国家（地区）。
数据显示，发展中国家裙带资本主义的严重性大约为发达国家的两倍，其裙带富豪财富占GDP的比重为4%，发达国家则为2%。
香港的裙带资本主义指数远远高于其他国家和地区，富豪财富占GDP的比重接近80%，排名第二的则是俄罗斯，大约为20%。
在不平等世界要包容
近来动荡不安的乌克兰排在第4位，它与俄罗斯的情况都反映出前共产主义国家的转型所带来的恶果。
美国在23个国家中排名第17位，这一排名已经比2007年的第12位有了明显的下降。不少美国民众和自由主义者认为他们的政府正在更多地照顾华尔街的利益，从而导致了2008年的严重金融危机。他们要求政府对华尔街巨头进行更多的限制。
不过数据显示，美国的“裙带资本主义”并不主要存在于银行业，而是集中于硅谷这样的新技术行业。相比于甲骨文的拉里·埃里森（Larry Ellison）， 黑石集团的史蒂夫·施瓦茨曼（Stephen Schwarzman）只是个小虾米。
格林斯潘：中国经济高增长是借来的
《经济学人》称，中国在这一统计中表现良好，这让人十分意外。其原因一是国家控制了大部分的银行和自然资源，使得这些寻租的重要来源不会落入个人之手；此外，中国新兴产业的开放性培育出了一批健康的企业主，包括马云、梁稳根等。
报道称，世界经济论坛指出，在这份榜单上表现良好的国家都拥有更好地官僚制度和机构，而香港政府的反垄断已经长期软弱无力。

裙带资本主义全球排名
爱因斯坦的第一颗扣子
2014-05-08 国际先驱导报
作者：徐剑梅
核心提示：中小学阶段的痛苦经历，没有令爱因斯坦感到自卑或者产生扭曲甚至报复社会的心理，反而刺激他更加珍视个性和思想的独立与自由，珍视真、善和美的价值。
在科学史上，爱因斯坦被认为是20世纪最伟大的科学家，也是古往今来仅次于牛顿、第二伟大的科学家，是现代物理学的开山鼻祖、集大成者和奠基人，同时也是著名思想家和哲学家。如果按全球知名度来看，爱因斯坦可能比牛顿和伽利略更有名。
在科学领域，要拿到博士学位或当上名校教授，普通智商加上勤奋努力并不难办到，但要伟大到牛顿或者爱因斯坦的地步，天赋的高智商恐怕还是需要的。
对爱因斯坦的智商，专家们大都认为在160至190之间，最低的估测也有146，最高估测甚至达到270。要知道，全世界80％的人智商都介于80至120之间，智商超过140就被视为天才，在人口中比例不超过0.5%。
不过，爱因斯坦出生的时候，蹒跚学步的时候，甚至念小学和中学的时候，他的聪明基本上只有他自己知道。在很多亲友和街坊邻居的记忆中，爱因斯坦小时候是笨拙、迟钝的，衣扣总是对不齐，东西总是找不着，三岁多还不会讲话，父母一度担心他是哑巴，带他去看医生。
爱因斯坦读小学和中学时，说话慢、动作慢，记忆力不强，不善于和同学交往，学习成绩也不起眼，当然很难让老师和同学喜欢。在慕尼黑路易·波尔德中学的6年生活，给爱因斯坦留下的回忆尤其压抑、孤独和痛苦：学习上，他除了数学，其他各门学科，特别是需要大量死记硬背的课程，大都成绩不佳；生活上，与班里同学话不投机，格格不入，被认为“生性孤僻”；在老师眼里，他不仅“智力迟钝”，而且“不守纪律、心不在焉、想入非非”……但事实上，爱因斯坦的早慧和早熟，被这些“小时不佳”的故事和考试成绩单所掩盖，真要探究起来，恐怕远远超过一般人的想象。
看看爱因斯坦年谱吧！10岁，他便在两位医科大学生引导下自己阅读通俗科学读物和哲学著作；12岁，醉心于欧几里德几何学，开始自学高等数学；13岁，开始读哲学家康德的著作；不满16岁，已经依靠自学，无师自通地学会了解析几何和微积分……
万幸的是，中小学阶段的痛苦经历，没有令爱因斯坦感到自卑或者产生扭曲甚至报复社会的心理，反而产生一种强烈的反作用力，刺激他更加珍视个性和思想的独立与自由，珍视真、善和美的价值。
爱因斯坦晚年回忆道：“当我还是一个相当早熟的少年的时候，我就已经深切地意识到，大多数人终生无休止地追逐的那些希望和努力是毫无价值的。而且，我不久就发现了这种追逐的残酷，和今天的情形相比，这在当年是更加精心地用伪善和漂亮的字句掩饰着的。每个人只因有个胃，就注定要参与这种追逐。而且，由于参与这种追逐，他的胃是有可能得到满足的；但是，一个有思想、有感情的人却不能由此而得到满足。”
难以置信一个十几岁的毛孩子就拥有这样的思考和判断能力。不知多少人活到七老八十，都不见得懂得这些。
爱因斯坦是填鸭式教学法的铁杆反对派，但更有价值的，可能是他对学校应当教什么的独到看法。他认为，学校教育“不应把获得专业知识放在首位”。“学校的目标应当是培养有独立行动和独立思考的个人，不过他们要把为社会服务看做是自己人生的最高目的。”
“通过专业教育，他（学生）可以成为一种有用的机器，但是不能成为一个和谐发展的人……他必须获得对美和道德上的善的鲜明的辨别力。否则，他，连同他的专业知识，就更像一只受过很好的训练的狗，而不像一个和谐发展的人。”
对真、善、美价值的珍视和独立辨别力，这是爱因斯坦伟大人生的第一颗扣子。

crony: 密友，亲密的伙伴
The countries where politically connected businessmen are most likely to prosper
Mar 15th 2014
AMERICA’S Gilded Age, in the late 19th century, saw tycoons such as John D. Rockefeller industrialise the country—and accumulate vast fortunes, build palatial mansions and bribe politicians. Then came the backlash. Between 1900 and 1945 America began to regulate big business and build a social safety net. In her book “Plutocrats”, Chrystia Freeland argues that emerging markets are now experiencing their first gilded age, and rich countries their second, with the world’s wealthiest 1%, who benefited disproportionately from 20 years of globalisation, forming a “new virtual nation of Mammon”.
Inventing a better widget, tastier snack or snazzier computer program is one thing. But many of today’s tycoons are accused of making fortunes by “rent-seeking”: grabbing a bigger slice of the pie rather than making the pie bigger. In technical terms, an economic rent is the difference between what people are paid and what they would have to be paid for their labour, capital, land (or any other inputs into production) to remain in their current use. In a world of perfect competition, rent would not exist. Common examples of rent-seeking (which may or may not be illegal) include forming cartels and lobbying for rules that benefit a firm at the expense of competitors and customers.
Class warriors and free-market devotees alike are worrying about rent-seeking. American libertarians fear an elite has rigged their country’s economy; plenty of ordinary Joes reckon the government and Federal Reserve care more about Wall Street than Main Street. Many hedge-fund managers sniff that China is a house of cards built by indebted cronies.
To test the claim that rent-seekers are on the rampage, we have created a crony-capitalist index. Our approach builds on work by Ruchir Sharma of Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Aditi Gandhi and Michael Walton of New Delhi’s Centre for Policy Research, and others. We use data from Forbes to calculate the total wealth of those of the world’s billionaires who are active mainly in rent-heavy industries, and compare that total to world GDP to get a sense of its scale. We show results for 23 countries—the five largest developed ones, the ten largest developing ones for which reliable data are available, and a selection of eight smaller ones where cronyism is thought to be a big problem. The higher the ratio, the more likely the economy suffers from a severe case of crony-capitalism.
We have included industries that are vulnerable to monopoly, or that involve licensing or heavy state involvement (see table 1). These are more prone to graft, according to the bribery rankings produced by Transparency International, an anti-corruption watchdog. Some are obvious. Banks benefit from an implicit state guarantee that lowers their cost of borrowing. When publicly owned coal mines, land and telecoms spectrum are handed to tycoons on favourable terms, the public suffers. But the boundary between legality and graft is complex. A billionaire in a rent-heavy industry need not be corrupt or have broken the law. Industries that are close to the state are still essential, and can be healthy and transparent.

A galaxy of riches
Billionaires in crony sectors have had a great century so far (see chart 2). In the emerging world their wealth doubled relative to the size of the economy, and is equivalent to over 4% of GDP, compared with 2% in 2000. Developing countries contribute 42% of world output, but 65% of crony wealth. Urbanisation and a long economic boom have boosted land and property values. A China-driven commodity boom enriched natural-resource owners from Brazil to Indonesia. Some privatisations took place on dubious terms.
Of the world’s big economies, Russia scores worst (see chart 3). The transition from communism saw political insiders grab natural resources in the 1990s, and its oligarchs became richer still as commodity prices soared. Unstable Ukraine looks similar. Mexico scores badly mainly because of Carlos Slim, who controls its biggest firms in both fixed-line and mobile telephony. French and German billionaires, by contrast, rely rather little on the state, making their money largely from retail and luxury brands.
America scores well, too. The total wealth of its billionaires is high relative to GDP, but was mostly created in open sectors. Silicon Valley’s wizards are far richer than America’s energy billionaires. It is one of the few countries where rent-seeking fortunes grew only in line with the economy in recent years, which explains its improved position since 2007. Despite concerns about vampire-squid financiers, few of its billionaires made their money in banking. Even including private equity as rent-seeking, on the grounds that it benefits from tax breaks and cheap loans, would make little difference. Compared with Larry Ellison of Oracle, Stephen Schwarzman of Blackstone is a pauper.
Countries that do well on the crony index generally have better bureaucracies and institutions, as judged by the World Economic Forum. But efficient government is no guarantee of a good score: Hong Kong and Singapore are packed with billionaires in crony industries. This reflects scarce land, which boosts property values, and their role as entrepots for shiftier neighbours. Hong Kong has also long been lax on antitrust: it only passed an economy-wide competition law two years ago.
Another surprise is that despite its reputation for graft, mainland China scores quite well. One reason is that the state owns most natural resources and banks; these are a big source of crony wealth in other emerging economies. Another is that China’s open industries have fostered a new generation of fabulously rich entrepreneurs, including Jack Ma of Alibaba, an e-commerce firm, and Liang Wengen of Sany, which makes diggers and cranes.
One of the most improved countries is India, which moved from sixth place in our ranking to ninth. Recent graft scandals and a slowing economy have hurt many of its financially leveraged and politically connected businessmen, while those active in technology, pharmaceuticals and consumer goods have prospered. Turkish billionaires in rent-seeking industries have been hit by their country’s financial turmoil. By contrast most countries in South-East Asia, including Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines, saw their scores get worse between 2007 and 2014, as tycoons active in real estate and natural resources got richer.

Who are you calling a crony（任用亲信 ）?
Our crony index has three big shortcomings. One is that not all cronies make their wealth public. This may be a particular problem in China, where recent exposés suggest that many powerful politicians have disguised their fortunes by persuading friends and family to hold wealth on their behalf. Unreliable property records also help to disguise who owns what.
Second, our categorisation of sectors is crude. Rent-seeking may take place in those we have labelled open, and some countries have competitive markets we label crony. Some think America’s big internet firms are de-facto monopolies that abuse their positions. South Korea’s chaebol, which sell cars and electronics to the world, are mainly in industries we classify as open. But they have a history of bribing politicians at home. China’s billionaires, in whatever industry, are often chummy with politicians and get subsidised credit from state banks. According to Rupert Hoogewerf of the Hurun Report, a research firm, a third are members of the Communist Party. Sectors that are cronyish in developing countries may be competitive in rich ones: building skyscrapers in Mumbai is hard without paying bribes, and easy in Berlin. Our index does not differentiate.
The third limitation is that we only count the wealth of billionaires. Plenty of rent-seeking may enrich the very wealthy who fall short of that cut-off. America’s subprime boom saw hordes of bankers earn cumulative bonuses in the millions of dollars, not billions. Crooked Chinese officials may have Range Rovers and secret boltholes in Singapore—but not enough wealth to join a list of billionaires. So our index is only a rough guide to the concentration of wealth in opaque industries compared with more competitive ones.
Despite the boom in crony wealth, there are grounds for optimism. Some countries are tightening antitrust rules. Mexico has many lucrative near-monopolies, from telecoms to food, but its government is at last aiming to improve regulation and boost competition. India’s legal system is trying to jail a minister accused of handing telecoms licences to his chums.
Encouragingly, there are also hints that cronyism may have peaked. The share of billionaire wealth from rent-seeking industries has declined in developing countries, from a high of 76% in 2008 to 58% (see chart 4). That partly reflects lower commodity prices. But now that emerging markets are slowing, investors are becoming pickier. More are steering clear of firms in opaque industries with bad governance. The price-earnings ratio of firms in crony sectors is now at its biggest discount to firms in open sectors for 15 years. That suggests that the highest returns to outside investors are to be found in open industries.
Perhaps when growth picks up again in emerging markets, rent-seeking will explode once more. Or, as countries get richer, the share of great wealth that is made in crony industries may naturally decline. In 1900 American tycoons became rich by building and financing railroads. By 1930 the action had shifted to food production, photography and retailing. Cronies around the world should take note.

The new age of crony capitalism
Political connections have made many people hugely rich in recent years. But crony capitalism may be waning
Mar 15th 2014
AS THE regime of Viktor Yanukovych collapsed in Ukraine, protesters against it could be found outside One Hyde Park, a luxury development in west London. Their target was Rinat Akhmetov, Ukraine’s richest man and a backer of the old regime. “Discipline your pet”, they chanted.
Ukraine’s troubled state has long been dominated by its oligarchs.  India’s election in April and May will in part be a plebiscite on a decade of crony capitalism. Turkey’s prime minister is engulfed by scandals involving construction firms—millions of Turks have clicked on YouTube recordings that purport to incriminate him. On March 5th China’s president, Xi Jinping, vowed to act “without mercy” against corruption in an effort to placate public anger. Last year 182,000 officials were punished for disciplinary violations, an increase of 40,000 over 2011.
As in America at the turn of the 20th century, a new middle class is flexing its muscles, this time on a global scale. People want politicians who don’t line their pockets, and tycoons who compete without favours. A revolution to save capitalism from the capitalists is under way.
The kind of rents estate agents can only dream of “Rent-seeking” is what economists call a special type of money-making: the sort made possible by political connections. This can range from outright graft to a lack of competition, poor regulation and the transfer of public assets to firms at bargain prices. Well-placed people have made their fortunes this way ever since rulers had enough power to issue profitable licences, permits and contracts to their cronies. In America, this system reached its apogee in the late 19th century, and a long and partially successful struggle against robber barons ensued. Antitrust rules broke monopolies such as John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil. The flow of bribes to senators shrank.
In the emerging world, the past quarter-century has been great for rent-seekers. Soaring property prices have enriched developers who rely on approvals for projects. The commodities boom has inflated the value of oilfields and mines, which are invariably intertwined with the state. Some privatisations have let tycoons milk monopolies or get assets cheaply. The links between politics and wealth are plainly visible in China, where a third of billionaires are party members.
Capitalism based on rent-seeking is not just unfair, but also bad for long-term growth. As our briefing on India explains (see article), resources are misallocated: crummy roads are often the work of crony firms. Competition is repressed: Mexicans pay too much for their phones. Dynamic new firms are stifled by better-connected incumbents. And if linked to the financing of politics, rent-heavy capitalism sets a tone at the top that can let petty graft flourish. When ministers are on the take, why shouldn’t underpaid junior officials be?
The Economist has built an index to gauge the extent of crony capitalism across countries and over time (see article). It identifies sectors which are particularly dependent on government—such as mining, oil and gas, banking and casinos—and tracks the wealth of billionaires (based on a ranking by Forbes) in those sectors relative to the size of the economy. It does not purport to establish that particular countries are particularly corrupt, but shows the scale of fortunes being created in economic sectors that are most susceptible to cronyism.
Rich countries score comparatively well, but that is no reason for complacency. The bailing out of banks has involved the transfer of a great deal of wealth to financiers; lobbyists have too much influence, especially in America (see article); today’s internet entrepreneurs could yet become tomorrow’s monopolists. The larger problem, though, lies in the emerging world, where billionaires’ wealth in rent-heavy sectors relative to GDP is more than twice as high as in the rich world. Ukraine and Russia score particularly badly—many privatisations favoured insiders. Asia’s boom has enriched tycoons in rent-seeking sectors.

Wanted: emerging-market Roosevelts
Yet this may be a high-water mark for rent-seekers, for three reasons. First, rules are ignored less freely than they used to be. Governments seeking to make their countries rich and keep people happy know they need to make markets work better and bolster the institutions that regulate them. Brazil, Hong Kong and India have beefed up their antitrust regulators. Mexico’s president, Enrique Pena Nieto, wants to break its telecoms and media cartels. China is keen to tackle its state-owned fiefs.
Second, the financial incentives for businesses may be changing. The share of billionaire wealth from rent-rich industries in emerging markets is now falling, from a peak of 76% in 2008 to 58% today. This is partly a natural progression. As economies get richer, infrastructure and commodities become less dominant. Between 1900 and 1930 new fortunes in America were built not in railways and oil but in retailing and cars. In China today the big money is made from the internet, not building heavy industrial plants with subsidised loans on land secured through party connections. But this also reflects the wariness of investors: in India, after a decade of epic corruption, industrialists in open and innovative sectors such as technology and pharmaceuticals are back in the ascendant.
The last reason for optimism is that the incentives for politicians have changed, too. Growth has slowed sharply, making reforms that open the economy vital. Countries with governments that are reforming and trying to tackle vested interests, such as Mexico, have been better insulated from the jitters in the financial markets.
There is much more to be done. Governments need to be more assiduous in regulating monopolies, in promoting competition, in ensuring that public tenders and asset sales are transparent and in prosecuting bribe-takers. The boom that created a new class of tycoon has also created its nemesis, a new, educated, urban, taxpaying middle class that is pushing for change. That is something autocrats and elected leaders ignore at their peril.

七大军区司令忠勇与战功
一个真相：解密瑞士银行凤凰财经
2014-05-08
据英国《金融时报》7日报道，世界最大的离岸金融中心瑞士承诺，将自动向其他国家交出外国人账户的详细资料。这对各国政府而言是巨大的进步，在全球金融危机和一连串税务丑闻后，它们发起了一场联合打击逃税的行动。如果要“撬开”纳税人的隐秘账户，瑞士的配合至关重要。
数百年来，瑞士银行因严格的银行保密制度而闻名于世。至今瑞士银行的存款已占全球总储蓄额的1/3，瑞士银行管理着2.2万亿美元的离岸资产。与此同时，有不少人利用这一法律钻空子，或偷税漏税，甚至转移藏匿不法资产。
瑞士——欧洲的世外桃源
二战期间，由于瑞士特殊的中立国地位，瑞士成为纳粹德国和其他国家进行黄金交易的主要地点，各国纷纷向瑞士央行买卖黄金，以换取硬通货瑞士法郎。
据称，当时纳粹德国的帝国银行90%的黄金交易就是通过瑞士央行进行的。
16世纪，随着基督教加尔文教派的兴起，大量受迫害的新教徒从法国和意大利逃到瑞士日内瓦，这些新教徒也带来了大量金钱，交给日内瓦银行家打理。
1933年，德国政府要求德国公民必须交代自己在外国的资产。
在瑞士，负责追查德国公民在外财产的纳粹盖世太保假装成普通客户，径直走入银行，拿出一沓钱，对银行职员说，将这笔钱存入某某的账户(这些都是遭到纳粹怀疑的人)。如果钱能够存入，则说明了该人在瑞士银行拥有账号。然而，那些使用匿名账户的客人，就安全逃过此劫。一年之内，有三个德国人因在瑞士拥有银行账号而被处死。三条人命给了瑞士充分的理由来加强银行保密法。
1934年，瑞士当局颁布了《联邦银行法》，该法第47条明确规定：1.任何银行职员，包括雇员、代理人、清算人、银行委员会成员、监督员、法定审计机构人员，都必须严格遵守保密原则，保守其与客户往来情况及客户财产状况等有关机密。上述人员，包括引诱银行职员泄露客户和银行信息的第三人，都将面临最低6个月到5年的监禁，以及最高5万法郎的罚款。2.如是因为疏忽而泄露客户和银行信息，将酌情处罚，罚金不超过3万法郎。3.保密协议终身生效。不因为银行职员离职、退休、解雇而失效。
因此，瑞士成了欧洲的世外桃源，欧洲的富人们都愿意把金银财宝放在这个地方。
在不平等世界要包容
三星：贪欲帝国
恪守保密传统备受全球信赖
瑞士各银行为加强保密，普遍采用了密码账户、化名代号等管理方式，即储户只在第一次存款时写真实姓名，之后便把户头编上代码。为了替储户严格保密，在苏黎世和日内瓦有116家专门办理秘密存储业务的银行——这还不算各大银行内设的私人储存窗口。在这些银行里，不准拍照，不讲姓名，有些甚至不设招牌，只标有经营者的名字。而且，办理个人秘密户头的职员要绝对可靠，大都是子承父业，世代相传，经过学徒制度的良好职业教育。
长期以来瑞士恪守银行保密传统，赢得了全球客户的信赖，成为全球离岸金融中心，同时也是外国人的“避税天堂”。
裙带资本主义全球排名
全球50％资金在“避税天堂”中转
除了瑞士以外，“避税天堂”还有列支敦士登、奥地利、卢森堡、安道尔、摩纳哥、百慕大群岛、巴哈马群岛以及英属维尔京群岛等43个国家或地区，全球50％的资金经这些“避税天堂”中转。
其中，维尔京群岛是目前全世界所有能自由进行公司注册的避税港中，要求最低，监管力度最小的。在那里，设立注册资本在5万美元以下的公司，最低注册费仅为300美元，加上牌照费、手续费，当地政府总共收取980美元，此后每年只要交600美元的营业执照续费即可。
在与世界金融机构的合作过程中，摩纳哥、列支敦士登和安道尔被称为不合作避税地，原因是他们在情报交换方面进展缓慢。
在“避税天堂”国家中，欧洲金融机构最爱选择英属泽西群岛，是因为这里的法律制度相对宽松。
百慕大群岛被视为处理保险及再保险业务的最佳地区之一，是家族企业的最佳管理地点之一。
中美洲的巴拿马目前拥有数百家银行和数千家注册公司，因为这里能迅速注册公司，免去了企业主对其行为不符合国际法规定的担心。
瑞士银行饱受争议遭各国围攻
长期以来，瑞士银行的保密制度一直饱受争议。
例如，瑞士银行曾吸纳了阿根廷前总统梅内姆和伊拉克前总统萨达姆等来路不明的钱，以及在“9·11”事件发生后，瑞士银行中发现多个恐怖嫌疑分子开设的账户。
2000年，瑞士曾做过一个民意调查，1/3的人认为瑞士银行保密制度只为富人和奸商提供好处，10%的人希望彻底废除该制度。他们认为，偷税漏税已经不是简单的财政问题，而是一种严重的犯罪行为。
美国和部分欧洲国家因瑞士等“避税天堂”国家吸纳本国避税客户对其积怨已久，只是难以找到对付的办法。2008年开始的金融危机让瑞士银行遮掩富人逃税之事更加公开化。美国和欧洲为保证税收收入，开始向瑞士施加压力。
美国先以瑞银集团帮助美国富人逃税为由，把这个瑞士最大的银行告上法庭。瑞银不但交了巨额罚金，还破天荒地提供了250余名客户的名单。随后，法国、德国又威胁要把瑞士放到经合组织制定的“黑名单”里，以此要求瑞士提供更多的银行信息。
各国仍然不依不饶，就在周二，法国巴黎举行的一次部长级会议中，瑞士同意签署新的《全球自动信息交换标准》，意味着瑞士结束了数百年来保护银行私人账户隐私的传统，同时也意味着瑞士2.2万亿美元私人账户将完全曝光。对全球范围来说，这将是爆发金融危机之后打击跨国公司逃税行为的关键一步。
除去瑞士之外，另有44个国家签署了这一协议，其中包括其他经合组织(OECD)成员国，G20集团主要国家，还有开曼群岛等离岸金融中心。
在这一背景下，其他未签署协议的世界知名离岸金融中心将备受压力。G20集团已经着手对拒绝公开信息的国家采取制裁，OECD也将在今年晚些时候公布拒绝银行账户透明化国家的黑名单。

My goal is to learn how and what people are engaging with while visiting my site. I set up three goals in Google Analytics-- to help me understand what people are and are not doing while visiting my site. I created a new page titled, Font Resouces, that links to open source fonts--
Google Analytic goals are different user actions that can be measured. I choose two specific-action goals and one to track the amount of page views per visit.
My goals are:
- Clicking "Font Resources" link on homepage (EVENT)
- Downloading one of the four fonts on the Font Resources page (EVENT)
- Visiting more than two pages during a visit (PAGE VIEWS)
My goals are accessible to visitors. The first goal is a link on the homepage-- that users would have to click. The second goal requires most users to click two different links to-- to have the opportunity to download a font. I assume most visitors will travel to my site through a posting or the homepage. On both pages, the users would have to click "Font Resources" to get to the page. is a link- users would have to click to download the font.
Completing the technical aspect of setting up the goals in Google Analytics is straight forward. The site provides an informational step-by-step format to include templates.


In this example, we have created a header, three unequal columns and a footer. On smaller screens, the columns will stack on top of each other.

You can have a boozy Christmas with this festive wine stocking
No Christmas would be complete without a stocking on the wall, and one company has brought back an adult-only product for 2019.
The piece in question: a stocking which dispenses booze.
Now that’s what we call a stocking filler.
Party Flasks is the company behind this genius invention, which is aptly named Santa’s Flask.
The product can hold up to 2.25 litres of your favourite festive tipple – which equates to around three bottles of wine.
Its features include a wide mouth (which makes it easy to fill), alongside a leak-proof spout – to prevent any wastage.
The opening is also wide enough to fit ice cubes inside – should your drink require it.
It’s reusable, too – so will come in handy for pleasing families and friends, year after year.
According to the website, the boozy treat is made from ‘BPA-free and FDA approved food grade plastic’ – so it’s lightweight and perfectly safe to drink from.
The imaginative product is being sold on gifting website CoolStuff, for £16.99 – a pretty reasonable price considering its reusable nature.

Stockings and booze are a Christmas match made in heaven, so it’s hardly a surprise that the product has received glowing five-star reviews on Amazon. Although, it is currently out of stock on the online marketplace.
One individual said: ‘Got this as a gift for my mother on her boat and she loved it. It gets used quite a lot and not just during the holidays. It’s a conversation piece for sure and gets a lot of laughs.’
While another added: ‘My son-in-love hinted strongly for this “stocking”, so I got it for him. It was a big hit. I will be putting his name on it and using it over and over again. Easy to fill, easy to clean.’
Another Amazon seller Fairly Odd Novelties is also offering a similar product for £9.95 – this one holds just under two litres of liquid.
Our advice is to stock up now, before the office Christmas party.

Official UCSB Catalog Description
CMPSC 32: Object Oriented Design and Implementation Prerequisite: Computer Science 24 with a grade of C or better. Repeat Comments: Computer Science 32 is a legal repeat for Computer Science 60. Advanced topics in object-oriented computing. Topics include encapsulation, data hiding, inheritance, polymorphism, compilation, linking and loading, memory management, and debugging; recent advances in design and development tools, practices, libraries, and operating system support.
A few course policies in brief
- If you are registered for another UCSB course that overlaps with this one, you MUST HAVE specific written permission from both instructors, or I am within my rights to give you a failing grade on any work you miss as a result, and will NOT make any accommodations for you.
- Collaboration is only permitted when specifically allowed for—otherwise, you must do your own work.
- On most homework assignments you may collaborate with at most one other person (who must be named).
- Attendance is required at all lectures and labs (discussion sections).
- I recognize that some absences (e.g. minor illnesses, mishaps, etc.) are unavoidable. Litigating whether each of these is “excused” or not isn’t a good use of anyone’s time, so instead we will drop the lowest four grades from everyone’s homework. This way, absences (or failure to submit homework) does not unduly penalize your grade unless it becomes excessive.
- You must turn in your homework in lecture the day that it is due.
- We will use the gradescope system this quarter. More instructions on gradescope will be given in lecture and lab assignments.
- Any regrade requests must be made on Gradescope and we will not consider a regrade request one week after the assignment grades are distributed back to students.
You may NOT:
- Turn in homework on a day other than when it is due (early or late).
- Have someone else turn in your homework for you (that will be considered academic dishonesty).
- Drop it off with the instructor or TA to be graded later.
What this course is about
This class serves as a continuation of C++ concepts covered in CMPSC 16 and CMPSC 24. We will explore more features of C++ such as the Standard Template Library (stl) and Object Oriented programming concepts such as inheritance and polymorphism. We’ll cover certain topics in depth and understand how C++ constructs behave in memory. We’ll also discuss more on computer system concepts such as the UNIX operating sytem, processes, and threads.
Since this course covers a variety of special topics, we will use three text books covering select chapters in each book. Lectures, labs, and homework will have some overlap, but each component of the course is used for students to explore and practice C++ concepts in various angles. The further you progress in your CS education, you will realize how important it is to extract information from various sources since it’s rare when everything you need to know is within a single source.
Learning the details of programming requires A LOT of practice, like learning any new skill. Making mistakes is an essential part of learning as long as you learn from them! Questions like “I wonder what will happen if I do this…” or “How will C++ behave in this case…” is a great way to investigate and observe the functionality and limitations of a programming language (there are many programming languages available to software developers and each have their specific pros and cons that may or may not be the best choice for the problems you are trying to solve).
I find the best way to practice is to rapid prototype constantly. Writing simple snippets of code to test and confirm your understanding allows you to 1) practice typing out code, which makes you more comfortable with the language and 2) solidify your understanding of the specific behavior of the programming language functionality.
Course Grades
Letter grades will be determined by the end of the course after all labs, homeworks, and exams have been computed.  However, I will adjust the letter grades accordingly based on your overall performance at the end of the course. If you are concerned about your grade in the class, I encourage you to discuss the matter with me during my office hours. Please come talk to me sooner rather than later so there can be some time where we can help you succeed in the course.
Your course grade will be determined as follows:
| Grade Item | Percentage of Final Grade |
|---|---|
| Midterm 1 (Tues. 10/23) | 20 % |
| Midterm 2 (Tues. 11/20) | 20 % |
| Final (Tues. 12/11, 4pm - 7pm) | 30 % |
| Homeworks | 10 % |
| labs | 20 % |
In general, homeworks will be assigned periodically throughout the quarter, and are due in lecture on the due date.
There will be labs assigned throughout the quarter. You will work on the labs during your assigned lab section, and most likely on your own time outside of your assigned lab section. Please be sure to check the due dates for all assignments on the course page and calendar.
Late work
I will consider late submissions only for medical or family emergencies where documentation can be provided. This does not include overwhelming workload from other courses, scheduling conflicts, or vacation plans.
- There will not be any make ups for examinations.
- Four of the lowest homework scores will be dropped. Late homework submissions will not be accepted. However, even if you know you will not be able to submit a homework on time, I highly encourage you to complete it anyways since the homeworks will help prepare you for the examinations.
- All labs must be submitted by the due date. Depending on the case, your TA may consider grading your lab with a late penalty (and usually for cases where the submission was done very soon after the deadline). However, this is not an official policy and you risk receiving a zero for a late lab submission.
Accommodations for disabilities
Students with disabilities may request academic accommodations for exams online through the UCSB Disabled Students Program at http://dsp.sa.ucsb.edu/. Please make your requests for exam accommodations through the online system as early in the quarter as possible to ensure proper arrangement.
Managing stress
Personal concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationships, depression, cultural differences, can interfere with the ability of students to succeed and thrive. For helpful resources, please contact UCSB Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS) at<PHONE_NUMBER> or visit http://counseling.sa.ucsb.edu/.
Responsible scholarship
Honesty and integrity in all academic work is essential for a valuable educational experience. The Office of Judicial Affairs has policies, tips, and resources for proper citation use, recognizing actions considered to be cheating or other forms of academic theft, and students’ responsibilities, available on their website at: http://judicialaffairs.sa.ucsb.edu. Students are responsible for educating themselves on the policies and to abide by them.
Furthermore, for general academic support, students are encouraged to visit Campus Learning Assistance Services (CLAS) early and often. CLAS offers instructional groups, drop-in tutoring, writing and ESL services, skills workshops and one-on-one consultations. CLAS is located on the third floor of the Student Resource Building, or visit http://clas.sa.ucsb.edu

I am starting to make some progress with my side project that I am building out using ASP.NET MVC and SubSonic 3.
That said testing routes is something that I am not doing at the moment but has been nagging away at me especially when the application gets to a decent size.
Well it seems that the MVC Contrib project has something that can help me out here (via a tweet from Dave Bush).

title: Delta Kit
teaser: 'Remotely monitoring practically anything you can imagine has never been that easy. The Octanis Delta Kit provides you with environmental sensors, inertial measurement unit, GPS receiver, bluetooth and LoRa connectivity - all managed by an ultra-low power MSP432 microprocessor and powered by just two AAA batteries. And it is entirely open-source, customizable and extendable!'
cta: 'I want one! Documentation
'
---
Over the past few months, we have brought our main control board of the Octanis 1 Rover to perfection. Now we want to go beyond this application and let everybody use it for their own purposes. Be it your bicycle tracking system or the monitoring of the climate on your wineyard - the possibilities are endless. You can even extend the sensing and communication capabilities of the Delta Kit by adding your specific sensors and radio modules.
Because we know that getting into all the details of the software code is very time consuming, we designed two usage scenarios: For the users that want to get started immediately, there is a set of basic commands that can be sent via the bluetooth interface. You could for example set a threshold for the humidity measurement in your wine cellar and send an alert message if it is too high. Find all the currently implemented commands on our Wiki
For the more experienced programmer, you may download our source code from Github and adapt it fully to your purposes. You will need a JTAG programmer (for example from an MSP432 launchpad) to flash the code onto the microcontroller of the Delta Kit. See here how to set everything up to get you started.
Specialised devices on one tiny board form the Octanis 1 Rovers main computer. This little powerhouse can now also be used for your dedicated connected sensing application. Designed to consume very little power, this board can be running standalone on two AAA batteries. Move your mouse over the picture to get more information about the available sensors and modules (some are hidden on the back).
To get you started as fast as possible for your indoor sensing project, just pair the Delta Kit with your phone via BLE.
The NEO-6 GPS module from u-blox gives you steady information on the position of your Delta Kit. Very useful for moving sensor platforms!
More and more LoRa gateways are getting installed all over the world! Easily connect the Delta Kit to basestations from The Things Network, or set up your private access point.

What is Corgie?
Corgie is a CSS/Javascript framework similar to Bootstraps or Foundation. Its built on modern CSS using Flexbox, Filters, and CSS Variables. There is no grid system as I believe grids are best handled by the new native CSS grid. The Javascript is ES6 and all vanilla. No JQuery here. Corgie focuses on clean maintainable code. Instead of thousands of divs it attempts to keep HTML as minimal as possible and instead leverage modern technology in order to create the best development experience.

##Prerequirements
Before you get started to use yeoman, you got have it installed on your machine. Make sure you have [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/) and [Git](http://git-scm.com/) installed before installing yeoman.
- - -
![logo Node.js](http://nodejs.org/images/logo.png) ![logo Git](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e0/Git-logo.svg)
## Installation
Once you have Node.js run on your machine, use the following command to install yeoman:
```html
npm install -g yo grunt-cli bower
```
The command above will install 3 tools on your machine:
1. yo
2. grunt-cli (grunt command line interface)
3. bower
## Step into your first web app
Make a new directory for your web applicaiton, then use the following command to create it:
```html
yo webapp
```
![command: yo webapp](http://i.imgur.com/IPJ5hsf.png)
After execue the `yo webapp` command, it tells you to run both `npm install` & `bower install` to install the related dependencies:
![Notification to run two commands](http://i.imgur.com/QbE4UMW.png)
Just follow the notification and run both the commands seperately.
```html
npm install
```
```html
bower install
```
While complete all the steps above, you might get these files and folders under your root directory (the directory you run 'yo webapp' command.)
![directory architecture](http://i.imgur.com/WQp5nHx.png)
Where we are going to edit the files are all located in the __app__ directory.
## Architecture of app folder
The image below display the architecture of the app directory while you first create it.
![architecture of app folder](http://i.imgur.com/dzT5wdK.png)
## Files & Folders
* 404.html : Returned HTML to users when 'File not Found'
* index.html : The entry page of the website
* robots.txt : Avoid the search engine to index sensitive page for your site
* images : Put all your images here
* scripts : JavaScripts located here
* styles : CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) files located here
* favicon.ico : Icon displayed for bookmark
## Traditional 404 page
The traditonal HTTP 404 response will lead you to a page looks like:
![traditional 404 page](http://www.404errorpages.com/images/image003.png)
### It sucks!
## Modern 404 page
You can make a better UI/UX for users by design your 404 page like:
![facebook 404 pages](http://i.imgur.com/M3DbYv8.png?1)
### Better!
## robots.txt
A __robots.txt__ restricts access to your site by search engine robots that crawl the web. These bots are automated, and before they access pages of a site, they check to see if a robots.txt file exists that prevents them from accessing certain pages. Check [this page](http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=zh-Hant&answer=156449) for more detail information.
## Images in one place
Put all your images in one place for easy management and later image optimization step.
![image folder tree](http://i.imgur.com/H40HwpY.png)
## 3rd-party library installation
For you guys who want to use other libraries which yeoman did not include them by default, you could install them through _bower_.
For example, we use a parallax scrolling library called [Skrollr](https://github.com/Prinzhorn/skrollr) for our official website. We could install it through bower by following steps:
```html
bower search skrollr
```
Once bower found this package, you can easily installed it by:
```html
bower install skrollr
```
## Build production version of your site
Before uploading & releasing you site, there are some optimization steps that makes your website get better performance so better UX.
* Optimize images by removing useless headers.
* Minify the CSS, javaScript, HTML files by removing useless spaces, replacing long variable names.
* Concatenate CSS, javaScript files into single one file to minimize the HTTP request number.
* ...etc
## Grunt do these tasks for you
Grunt do the repeatitive tasks for you automatically, so that will save lots of time for you to do the real code work. To create the final, optimized website, just use the following grunt command:
```html
grunt build
```
Yeoman defined a __build__ task of Grunt for you by default. Sweet!
## Detail of Libraries
1. Grunt : [http://gruntjs.com](http://gruntjs.com)
2. bower : [https://github.com/twitter/bower/](https://github.com/twitter/bower/)
4. Skrollr : [https://github.com/Prinzhorn/skrollr](https://github.com/Prinzhorn/skrollr)

The Join Features task works with two layers. Join Features joins attributes from one feature to another based on spatial, temporal, and attribute relationships or some combination of the three. The tool determines all input features that meet the specified join conditions and joins the second input layer to the first. You can optionally join all features to the matching features or summarize the matching features.
Join Features can be applied to points, lines, areas, and tables. A temporal join requires that your input data is time-enabled, and a spatial join requires that your data has a geometry.
The layer that will have attributes from the join layer appended to its table.
Analysis using the Near spatial relationship requires a projected coordinate system. You can set the Processing coordinate system in Analysis Environments. If your processing coordinate system is not set to a projected coordinate system, you will be prompted to set it when you Run Analysis.
In addition to choosing a layer from your map, you can choose Browse Layers at the bottom of the drop-down list to browse to your contents for a big data file share dataset or feature layer.
The join layer with the attributes that will be appended to the target layer.
In addition to choosing a layer from your map, you can choose Browse Layers at the bottom of the drop-down list to browse to your contents for a big data file share dataset or feature layer.
Determines how joins between the target and join layers will be handled in the output if multiple joining features are found to have the same relationship to the layer being joined. There are two join operations from which to choose:
For example, suppose we wanted to find supermarkets within 2 kilometers of a farmers market. In this case the layer being joined to has a single feature representing a farmers market, and the joining features represents the local grocery stores which has attributes such as total annual sales. Using the Join Features tool, we find that five grocery stores meet that criteria. If we specified a join operation of Join one to many, we would end up with five features in our result, each row representing the farmers market and a supermarket. If we specified a Join one to one relationship, we would end up with one feature representing the farmers market and the summarized information from the supermarkets, such as the count (2), and other statistics such as the sum of annual sales.
You may apply one, two, or three join types. The types of joins include the following:
The spatial relationship that will determine if features are joined to each other. The available relationships will depend on the type of geometry (point, polyline, polygons) being used as the input features. The available relationships include the following:
This distance specifies the radius applied to a spatial near relationship.
Suppose you had a dataset representing a nuclear plant and a dataset representing residences. You could set a 1 kilometer near distance to find houses within 1 kilometer of the nuclear plant.
The temporal relationship that will determine if features are joined to each other. This option is only available if time is enabled on both layers and the available relationships will depend on the type of time (instant or interval) being used for the input features. The available relationships include the following:
This temporal distance specifics the temporal radius applied to a temporal near relationship.
Suppose you have a layer of boating incidents and a layer of GPS tracks for a hurricane. You could look for boating incidents within a specified distance of hurricane tracks in both space (1 kilometer) and in time (5 hours). This would result in boating incidents joined to hurricanes that occurred close together in space and time.
This relationship will match values in a field from one layer to values in a field in another layer.
For example, suppose we had a countywide geographic layer of residential addresses (including a field ZIP) and a tabular dataset of health demographics by ZIP Code (a field named HEALTHZIP). We can join the health dataset to the residential data by matching the field ZIP to HEALTHZIP, which will result in a layer of residences with the corresponding health data.
If the join operation is Join one to one, you can calculate statistics on your joined features. By default, all statistics will be calculated.
You can calculate statistics on features that are summarized. On numeric fields you can calculated the following:
On string fields you can calculate the following:
All statistics are calculated on nonnull values. The resulting layer will contain a new fields for each statistic calculated. Any number of statistics can be added by choosing an attribute and statistic.
Applies a condition to specified fields. Only features with fields that meet these conditions will be joined.
For example, suppose we want to apply a join to a dataset for only those features where health_spending is greater than 20 percent of income. To do this, apply a join condition of $target["health_spending"] > ($join["income"] * .20)
using the field health_spending from the first dataset (the dataset features are joined to) and the income field from the second dataset (the dataset being joined).
Join conditions can be applied using the expression calculator.
GeoAnalytics results are stores to an ArcGIS Data Store and exposed as a feature layer in Portal for ArcGIS. In most cases, results should be stored to the spatiotemporal data store and this is the default. In some cases saving results to the relational data store is a good option. The following are reasons why you may want to store results in the relational data store:
You should not use the relational data store if you expect your GeoAnalytics results to increase, and need to take advantage of the spatiotemporal big data store's capabilities to handle large amounts of data.
This is the name of the layer that will be created in My Content and added to the map. The default name is based on the tool name and the input layer name. If the layer already exists, the tool will fail.
Using the Save result in drop-down box, you can specify the name of a folder in My Content where the result will be saved.

Hello and welcome to my page, I am Haroon Hashmi and I am a front end web developer based in London. I have always had an interest or hobby in computer gaming since a child playing on the desktop with classics such as Doom, Duke nukem and championship manager to name a few.
I have worked in the customer service and food industry for a very long time, I felt I needed to do something more challenging in my life. Having met people from the tech industry through my life and making friends, I became interested in being a developer and began with the advice of friends using code academy and other platforms. The visual aspects of how website are built and made to look pulled me towards front end aspect of design.
I am now currently enrolled on a self funded web developers program with a training company called Just IT. Coming from no experience, it has helped me to learn more and to gain confidence in what I do and I would love to continue learning and bettering my knowledge and skills throughout my career.
