Understanding sites, regions and zones
Introduction
This guide explains how we've designed the UKCloud platform using sites, regions and zones to enable you to design a highly-available and disaster-tolerant cloud solution that meets your specific requirements for resilience. The diagram below shows the relationship between sites, regions and zones and provides a broad indication as to the purpose of each.
We've engineered our cloud platform to tolerate inevitable failures at or below the infrastructure layer (for example, hardware failures and power or cooling interruptions) to ensure that the platform remains available. To ensure your applications and the services they deliver are highly available, we encourage you to design for failure and build disaster recovery capabilities into your applications. Depending on the type of failure you are trying to mitigate, our platform enables you to use sites, regions and zones to implement appropriate resilience into your solution.
For specific services, such as UKCloud for OpenStack or UKCloud for VMware, we provide more detailed design guides and blueprints to explore the design choices you have with our platform. Additionally, you can always engage a Cloud Architect who can work with you to deploy the right architecture on our platform.
Understanding sites
What is a site?
A site is a geographically specific location. UKCloud has two UK‑based sites, separated by 100 km, in Farnborough and Corsham (see diagram above). Sites provide:
Independent power, security, geography and infrastructure
Independent WAN connections from multiple service providers
Local maintenance and platform support teams
Shared UKCloud service support and management teams
How do sites help me mitigate against failure?
Building your solution across multiple sites provides resilience against scenarios such as natural disasters, targeted terrorist attacks or mass WAN failure. If an event affects a particular site, your system can continue running on the other site. The separation of UKCloud's two sites aligns with CESG's published guidance on architecting for disaster avoidance.
What else should I consider?
Although we operate secure, high‑bandwidth and low‑latency interconnects between our sites, the latency of transporting data within the same site will always be lower. If you deploy your solution across sites, you should always perform thorough testing to ensure that any increase in latency (particularly storage latency) is within tolerable levels and does not impede the performance of your solution under heavy load.
Understanding regions
What is a region?
Within each site, our platform provides a number of independent regions (see diagram above). Each region is a physically segregated part of the platform with its own power infrastructure, management services and networking components. This enables you to design resilient solutions that are contained entirely within a single site.
Each region provides a particular subset of UKCloud services, for example UKCloud for VMware, UKCloud for OpenStack or Cloud Storage, so the regions that you can use for your solution depend on where your selected (and prospective) UKCloud services are available. For example, in the diagram below you can see that UKCloud for VMware is provided in regions 2 and 5, however UKCloud for OpenStack is provided only in region 5.
How do regions help me mitigate against failure?
By architecting for separate regions, you can improve resilience to outages that affect:
The control and management of your VMs
Network connectivity to your VMs
The power infrastructure within the data centre.
The impact of an outage on your environment depends on the services you consume and how you have architected your environment at the region level. For example, the impact of a region‑affecting outage for UKCloud for VMware may be different than for UKCloud for OpenStack.
What else should I consider?
Certain product features --- such as on-platform protection technologies like snapshot protection or journaling --- may be available only in certain regions. Check UKCloud services by region for further details.
In addition, some common service features --- such as VM image catalogues, access to storage pools, and so on --- may be available only to solutions running within that region, and not replicated by UKCloud across multiple regions. This may require you to duplicate some of your management tools and services. You should consider which services are available across multiple regions when designing your solutions.
Understanding zones
What is a zone?
A zone is a distinct hardware installation within a region, utilising common networking infrastructure but having independent server and storage infrastructure.
Ordinarily, each zone hosts only one UKCloud service, but each service, for example UKCloud for VMware or UKCloud for OpenStack, may be provided in multiple zones in each site (see diagram below).
Each zone is part of a particular security domain: either Assured OFFICIAL or Elevated OFFICIAL (see diagram below).
How do zones help me mitigate against failure?
You can utilise zones to provide additional confidence in your ability to tolerate outages and mitigate against:
Cluster-wide component outages caused by logical configuration errors
Significant hardware failures
Issues occurring within the hypervisor or virtual SAN
For example, you can load-balance across two zones to ensure that your service stays online in the event of a zone outage.
What else should I consider?
Designing your solutions to make use of zones rather than regions and sites achieves the lowest latency, helping to reduce the risk of data inconsistency while optimising the IO performance across your solution.
Depending on the services you consume, each zone may have its own management interface, so the complexity of managing your environment potentially increases with each additional zone. You should also be aware that the zones within a region operate on a shared network, therefore any issues on that network affect all the zones in the region. If you want to mitigate against potential network outages, you should consider designing your solution across multiple regions, but you should carefully assess the risk that the highly unlikely event of a loss of region or site presents and how this may influence your overall solution.

The game is played on a grid that's 3 squares by 3 squares. You are X, your friend is O. Players take turns putting their marks in empty squares. The first player to get 3 of her marks in a row (up, down, across, or diagonally) is the winner. When all 9 squares are full, the game is over.
Players first need to select their grid size. Players take turn in joining two adjacent(vertically or horizontally) dots. The player who finishes connects a square will own the square. The player who owns the most squares at the end of the game wins the game.

git-credential - Retrieve and store user credentials
git credential <fill|approve|reject>
Git has an internal interface for storing and retrieving credentials from system-specific helpers, as well as prompting the user for usernames and passwords. The git-credential command exposes this interface to scripts which may want to retrieve, store, or prompt for credentials in the same manner as Git. The design of this scriptable interface models the internal C API; see m[blue]the Git credential APIm[]s-2u[1]ds+2 for more background on the concepts.
git-credential takes an "action" option on the command-line (one of fill, approve, or reject) and reads a credential description on stdin (see INPUT/OUTPUT FORMAT).
If the action is fill, git-credential will attempt to add "username" and "password" attributes to the description by reading config files, by contacting any configured credential helpers, or by prompting the user. The username and password attributes of the credential description are then printed to stdout together with the attributes already provided.
If the action is approve, git-credential will send the description to any configured credential helpers, which may store the credential for later use.
If the action is reject, git-credential will send the description to any configured credential helpers, which may erase any stored credential matching the description.
If the action is approve or reject, no output should be emitted.
An application using git-credential will typically use git credential following these steps:
h'-04' 1.h'+01'c
Generate a credential description based on the context.
For example, if we want a password for https://example.com/foo.git, we might generate the following credential description (don(cqt forget the blank line at the end; it tells git credential that the application finished feeding all the information it has):
protocol=https host=example.com path=foo.git
h'-04' 2.h'+01'c
Ask git-credential to give us a username and password for this description. This is done by running git credential fill, feeding the description from step (1) to its standard input. The complete credential description (including the credential per se, i.e. the login and password) will be produced on standard output, like:
protocol=https host=example.com username=bob password=secr3t
In most cases, this means the attributes given in the input will be repeated in the output, but Git may also modify the credential description, for example by removing the path attribute when the protocol is HTTP(s) and credential.useHttpPath is false.
If the git credential knew about the password, this step may not have involved the user actually typing this password (the user may have typed a password to unlock the keychain instead, or no user interaction was done if the keychain was already unlocked) before it returned password=secr3t.
h'-04' 3.h'+01'c
Use the credential (e.g., access the URL with the username and password from step (2)), and see if it(cqs accepted.
h'-04' 4.h'+01'c
Report on the success or failure of the password. If the credential allowed the operation to complete successfully, then it can be marked with an "approve" action to tell git credential to reuse it in its next invocation. If the credential was rejected during the operation, use the "reject" action so that git credential will ask for a new password in its next invocation. In either case, git credential should be fed with the credential description obtained from step (2) (which also contain the ones provided in step (1)).
git credential reads and/or writes (depending on the action used) credential information in its standard input/output. This information can correspond either to keys for which git credential will obtain the login/password information (e.g. host, protocol, path), or to the actual credential data to be obtained (login/password).
The credential is split into a set of named attributes, with one attribute per line. Each attribute is specified by a key-value pair, separated by an = (equals) sign, followed by a newline. The key may contain any bytes except =, newline, or NUL. The value may contain any bytes except newline or NUL. In both cases, all bytes are treated as-is (i.e., there is no quoting, and one cannot transmit a value with newline or NUL in it). The list of attributes is terminated by a blank line or end-of-file. Git understands the following attributes:
protocol
The protocol over which the credential will be used (e.g., https).
host
The remote hostname for a network credential.
path
The path with which the credential will be used. E.g., for accessing a remote https repository, this will be the repository(cqs path on the server.
username
The credential(cqs username, if we already have one (e.g., from a URL, from the user, or from a previously run helper).
password
The credential(cqs password, if we are asking it to be stored.
url
When this special attribute is read by git credential, the value is parsed as a URL and treated as if its constituent parts were read (e.g., url=https://example.com would behave as if protocol=https and host=example.com had been provided). This can help callers avoid parsing URLs themselves. Note that any components which are missing from the URL (e.g., there is no username in the example above) will be set to empty; if you want to provide a URL and override some attributes, provide the URL attribute first, followed by any overrides.

Breakstone’s Cottage Cheese recalled for possible contamination by plastic and metal pieces
by CNN(CNN) — Kraft Heinz Food Company has issued a voluntary recall of three varieties of their Breakstone’s Cottage Cheese products due to potential contamination of metal and plastic pieces.
The company announced Friday that approximately 9,500 cases of its cottage cheese are being recalled due to contamination concerns which it says have been introduced during production.
The recall comes after a customer notified the company that they had found a piece of red plastic in a container of cottage cheese.
So far, Kraft Heinz reports there have been six consumer complains of contamination, but no reports of injury or illness related to the issue.
“Consumption of hard or sharp foreign material could cause injury to teeth, mouth, throat, stomach or intestine tissues if swallowed,” the company warns.
Three of the company’s cottage cheese products are included in the recall — Breakstone’s 2% Milkfat Lowfat Large Curd Cottage Cheese, as well as their small and large curd 4% Milkfat Cottage Cheese.
All three of the recalled batches are marked with a use-by date of December 10, 2019.
The products were distributed across the US and exported to Latin America.
Those who have purchased any of the recalled products should not consume it and return it to the store where it was purchased to receive a refund or exchange, the company advises.

Someone had asked earlier if assigning from signed to unsigned just took the absolute value. The answer, generally speaking, is, “no, it does weird things”.
In C, C++, and Go (and probably a pile of other languages), converting from signed to unsigned basically does the following, according to spec:
This looks really weird (WHY would they do this??!!), but what’s actually happening is a little bit simpler.
Deep down, the computer represents numbers as bits in sequential bytes. Using something called 2’s complement representation, signed numbers are stored like so (using a 4-bit number for the sake of example simplicity–but it could be 64 bits, or whatever):
Signed:
binary 0001 = decimal 1 signed
binary 0000 = decimal 0
binary 1111 = decimal -1
binary 1110 = decimal -2
But compare that to how unsigned numbers are stored:
binary 0001 = decimal 1 unsigned
binary 0000 = decimal 0
binary 1111 = decimal 15
binary 1110 = decimal 14
The bit pattern for 15 is the same as the bit pattern for -1. When you convert from signed to unsigned, all it does is change how it’s interprets the exact same bit pattern.
binary 1111
== signed decimal -1
== unsigned
decimal 15
That means on a 4-bit machine, converting -1
to unsigned
gives you 15
.
On a 32-bit machine, converting -1
to unsigned gives
4294967295
, which is binary
11111111111111111111111111111111
in both cases.
2’s complement is particularly beautiful because the exact same circuitry inside the CPU can be used to do math on positive or negative numbers. Saves space and money.
One other consequence of storing numbers in this way is that you can tell
if a signed number is positive or negative by looking at its highest
(left-most) bit. If it’s 1
, it’s negative. (Unsigned numbers
are always positive.)

Thanks to the interdisciplinary cooperation it was possible to present the project in several exhibitions. In the summer of 2017 RITA was first presented at the Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften at Humboldt Universität zu Berlin. Shortly thereafter the project was also exhibited at the Werkschau of the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam.


Given access to this lesson, students will be able to set up the necessary environment for iOS programming by downloading the necessary tools and registering for the Apple Developer Program.
To get started on developing iOS applications, you'll need a few things.
If you have a Macbook, you must have an Apple ID that is used to access the Apple Store.
Thus, we will first focus on downloading Apple's own Integrated Development Environment (IDE) called Xcode, which will allow us to create our own mobile applications.
Go to the App Store from your Macbook’s dock.
In the App Store, search for Xcode.
Download the Xcode application. You will need to sign in using your Apple ID and password. You will also require 15 GB or more of free space on your drive.
We’ve installed XCode! We will learn how to get stared on using it in the next tutorial, but first we must check our Apple Developer Program status.
Apple requires all developers to join the Apple Developer Program in order to publish applications. This costs $99 a year.
Note: Recently, Apple has made it possible for developers to develop apps and test on their own devices without a license. If you’re uncertain about continuing development after this course, skip ahead to the next tutorial.
To join this program:
Visit this link.
Select "Start Your Enrollment" at the bottom.
Sign into the Apple Developer Portal using your Apple ID and password.
Once you sign in, redo Step 1 and Step 2.
This time, you will be given terms and conditions to sign. Read and submit your agreement.
In the following screen, choose Individual as your entity type.
In true Apple fashion, you should be given another terms and conditions with fields to fill out once more. Press continue when you’re done.
Confirm your details in the following screen and continue.
Proceed to the payment screen, enter your information, and purchase your Apple Developer membership!
Congratulations, you are now a certified Apple Developer Program member! You can now use this link to visit membership controls, view your apps, view your privileges, certificates, and so on.

Amazon to protest $10B Pentagon contract won by Microsoft
SAN FRANCISCO — Amazon is protesting the Pentagon’s decision to award a huge cloud-computing contract to Microsoft, citing “unmistakable bias” in the decision.
by Canadian PressSAN FRANCISCO — Amazon is protesting the Pentagon’s decision to award a huge cloud-computing contract to Microsoft, citing “unmistakable bias” in the decision.
Amazon’s competitive bid for the “war cloud” project drew criticism from President Donald Trump and its business rivals.
Amazon was widely considered the front-runner in the contract competition. Tech giants Oracle and IBM pushed back with their own bids and also formally protested the bidding process last year. Oracle later challenged the process in federal court, but lost.
Trump waded into the fray in July, saying that his administration would “take a very long look” at the process and that he had heard complaints. Trump has frequently expressed his ire for Amazon and founder Jeff Bezos, who also owns the Washington Post. At the time, he said other companies told him that the contract “wasn’t competitively bid.”

Folk Americana Roots Hall of Fame
A unique music museum housed in a historic Boston theater.
The Boch Center Wang Theatre, located in the heart of Boston’s Theatre District, is celebrating the history of music with a unique—and still-growing—museum.
Visit the theater, and you’ll be able to take a tour of the beautiful space. These theatre tours not only celebrate the history of the building, but also the history of music in New England and around the world.
The Hall of Fame’s collection highlights the history of Folk, Americana, and Roots music. You’ll be able to see items such as informational displays and musical memorabilia. Among the most intriguing elements are larger-than-life busts of Civil Rights-era musicians such as Woody Guthrie and Lead Belly called “Cultural Heroes.”
Know Before You Go
Theater tours are hourly from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m., seven days a week. Tours are about one hour long, but the staff is accommodating to all schedules.

The shapefile data were obtained from the Comisión Estatal de Elecciones, the State Election Commission website. 2010 Decennial Census demographic data were downloaded from the Census API. The 2010 census block shapefile for Puerto Rico was downloaded from the US Census Bureau’s TIGER/Line Shapefiles. It was processed by students working with MGGG during and after the 2020 Geodata Bootcamp. This effort was included Kat Henneberger, Benjamin Carman, Antonio Onwu, Claudia Aranda, Jorge Lopez-Nava, and Quinn Molloy. Some additional processing was done by MGGG staff.
Precincts were built from digitizing PDF maps. Demographic data were aggregated from the block level using MGGG’s proration software. Congressional and state legislative district IDs were also assigned to precincts using this package.

An organization dedicated to the creation of reliable, useful systems for a complex world.
Group 5 is a Victoria based organization with a global presence, and our team members have the expertise you need to create the system you didn't know was possible. What is the Group 5 difference? We don't just build systems for you, we build them with you. Group 5 understands the need for stakeholder involvement in the system design process: we meet face to face with all interested parties and innovate the solution that's right for your business. So go ahead, contact us, and discover the Group 5 difference.
Our client is CARSA (Centre for Athletics, Recreation and Special Abilities), the new University of Victoria recreation centre. It contains a wide range of training facilities for staff and students including weight rooms, sports equipment and a rock climbing wall. CARSA opened in May 2015 and since the beginning of semester it has been extremely popular among students.
CARSA has requested our expertise in system analysis and design in order to improve their ability to provide a premium registration experience to CARSA members. The explosive popularity of CARSA since its opening has led to problems with too many new customers trying to register for membership at the same time, overwhelming the staff. CARSA has asked us to find new ways to streamline their registration services with systems design techniques, user experience persprectives, and logistical analysis with the ultimate goal of enabling CARSA to handle increased service demands during the first 2 weeks of each new semester.


Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane
It's not quite as "adult" as the Hunger Games trilogy but I think that this series is so so so much better. You follow a boy and his sister as they fight rats in the Underland. This book actually had me on the edge of my seat towards the end. AND it left off on a cliffhanger so I'm glad that when I found this book I got the next one in the series as well.
These books are just freaking awesome!  The story line is great. Our hero Gregor who is probably about 12 discovers an underground world filled with pale humans who haven't seen the light of day in forever, along with lots of giant rodents, roaches and bats. Pretty cool. Not too scary. This is Book #2 in a series so you know the hero survives. He's flawed and his family life is far from perfect. My favorite character continues to be Boots. Love her interactions with Temp the roach.


The cheetah has a wide range and is found from Africa south of the Sahara to India. It is considered the world's fastest mammal on land reaching speeds of up to 75 mph. Adults can reach up to 5 feet long and weigh up to 145 lbs. The tail can grow to be as long as 32 inches.  Unlike other cats, the cheetah prefers to chase down its prey rather than ambush them. They are also able to climb trees.
The Chinese river dolphin is only found in the Yangtze River in China and may be extinct. It has a long, narrow and slightly upcurved snout. Its skin is light bluish-gray above and white on its underside. The Chinese river dolphin can only thrive in freshwater. Causes of decline include habitat destruction, overfishing, pollution, and accidents during heavy river traffic.
The numbat is a marsupial and is also called the banded anteater. This animal is unique because it belongs to its own family, and unlike many other marsupials it is mainly active in the day instead of night. The numbat has a reddish-brown coat with white stripes on its back. There is a dark bar that crosses its eye from its ear to its snout. It has a long head and bushy tail.
The blue whale is the largest of all whales and is said to be the largest animal in Earth's history. Blue whales are blue to blue-gray and may sometimes appear to have a faint yellow skin color because of the many microorganisms that accumulate on their bodies as they travel through colder waters. Blue whales prefer cold waters and open seas and prefer not to venture near coastal areas. The blue whale eats mostly krill (small shrimp-like crustaceans) by using its baleen plates lining its mouth to sieve krill from the water.
The gray wolf is the largest of the canines and can reach a weight of 80 lb and 5 to 6.5 feet in length. It can live for up to 13 years. In the eastern woodlands, the gray wolf is also known as the "timber wolf," and in the arctic, the gray wolf is sometimes called the "arctic wolf." In the tundra, the gray wolf is sometimes called the "tundra wolf." The gray wolf has a gray fur coat with long tawny-colored legs, a narrow chest, and tawny-colored flanks. Males are larger than females. The gray wolf can reach up to 45 mph in a short sprint but can also run up to 25 mph for several miles. They have an excellent sense of smell and hearing.
Chinchillas are found in the Andes in South America and are hunted for their fine fur. Unfortunately, this subspecies (only found in Bolivia) is possibly extinct or in danger of extinction in the near future. The fur of the chinchilla is soft and dense because each of the many follicles that have 60 fine hairs that grow from them. Short-tailed chinchillas prefer mountain grassland habitat where they make their dens in rock crevices. They are active mainly at night, only emerging at dusk and dawn to bask in the sun

Wednesday, November 02, 2005
††††††††††††††† I called Kendall and told him that I would b e there after my appointment.† I went to Randyís and he really worked me over.† It was 11:30 AM before I made it to Kendallís and I worked until 4:30 PM before I quit.† I got quite a lot done although I ran short of materials and had to have Kendall go for materials twice.† Mae was canning and still picking grapes when I got home.† I helped her pick some grapes and helped get some grapes ready for the cooker.† Mae had dinner ready and after eating I showered and got ready to go to my meeting.† We met as a High Priest Group Leadership at Brother Smiths.† When I got home Mae was still putting up grape juice.† We watched a show on TV while we continued putting up grape juice and I also flayed the fish from Randy and my fishing trip.† It was 11:30 PM when the show ended.† Mae has put up 21 quarts of juice so far.† I entered my journal and we cleaned up before going to bed.

Money Play. Should Red double? If doubled, should White take?
pips Red=145 White=139
(CorrectAnswer= 0/0, ErrorScore= 0)
There aren't many positions where you can have two checkers on the bar, be behind in the race and still have a perfectly valid double.
This position is an exception that proves the rule. The volatility, the gammon threat and the overall weakness of White's structure gives Red a clear double.
White has a very clear take as he can quickly turn the game round and his anchor provides long-term security. Both sides win a fair percentage of gammons from this position.

Sam Smith says they might not tour again because they miss their family so much
Sam says that they find going on tour mentally very strenuous and they have an on-road therapist to deal with the pressures
by Will Twigger, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/will-twigger/Singer and Oscar-winner Sam Smith has said that they might stop touring all together because "touring is really, really difficult."
Sam - who recently changed their pronouns to "they/them" - revealed that they've faced severe mental health struggles while on the road.
They said: "After every tour I've been on, I've had a bit of a meltdown, if I'm honest.
"I don't want to lose my mind, so I'm scared for the next tour."
Sam continued: "I have an on-the-road therapist. There's many ways to handle it, but the truth is I don't handle it, I find it really hard."
While they're hugely popular with their legions of fans, touring's a lonely experience for them and they miss their loved ones.
Sam explained: "You go away from all your family and friends for so long and then you come back and everyone's changed and everything's changed.

"So it's really hard but at the same time it's incredibly addictive because I get to meet my fans and sing for all of them.
"I travel to some incredible places and I'm doing what I love when I'm performing and the highs that you feel are incredible."
Sam has been in the spotlight even more so than usual recently, as they announced their non-binary identity.
Earlier this year, they did an interview with Jameela Jamil, in which the two stars discussed the topics of gender and identity.
Sam said: "You do not identify in a gender.
"You are just you. You are your own special creation. That is how I take it. I am not male or female. I think I float somewhere in between - somewhat on the spectrum."
They added: "I've always had a bit of a war in my body and my mind...I do think like a woman in my head at time.
 It's something I still think about, but I don't think it is.
"I've tried to change that into my thoughts on gender...when I move, when I have sex with men, it's very feminine. I'm feminine in many ways - and I've resented that."


Now that we have the values to calculate the capacity of each security, we can compute the capacity of the portfolio.
To calculate the strategy capactiy, weekly snapshots are taken. When it’s time to take a snapshot, the capacity of the strategy for the current snapshot is calculated by first selecting the security with the least market capacity dollar volume available. The fraction of trading volume that was available for this security is scaled down by the number of orders that were filled for the security during the week. The result is scaled down further by the largest value between the weight of the security’s sale volume in the portfolio sale volume and the weight of the security’s holding value in the total portfolio value. The result of this final scaling is the strategy’s capacity in the current snapshot.
 After the snapshot is taken, the sale volume and market capacity dollar volume of each security is reset to 0.
Instead of using the strategy’s capacity at the current snapshot as the final strategy capacity value, the strategy capacity is smoothed across the weekly snapshots. First, the capacity estimate of the current snapshot is calculated, then the final strategy capacity value is set using the following exponentially-weighted model:
\[ Strategy \ Capacity = \left\{ \begin{array}{ c l } S_{i},& \text{if } i = 1\\ 0.66 * S_{i-1} + 0.33 * S_{i}, & \text{if } i > 1 \end{array} \right. \]where \( S_i \) is the snapshot capacity of week \(i\).


The digital hub strategy itself was just one part of Steve’s greater plan to finally gain market share in the PC market. Since he had returned to Apple, the Cupertino company was stuck at around 5% of the overall PC market, even though most industry analysts acknowledged the superiority of its operating system, and the innovations in its hardware.
One other plan was an aggressive TV campaign called “Switchers”. Its ads showed several former PC users who had switched to the Mac and were describing how it had made their life so much easier. The purpose of the campaign was to encourage people who were thinking of switching but were a little afraid to do so, by showing them someone who had made the change and was happy with it.
Yet the riskiest strategic move Apple did to seduce

Businessmodel of Reddit
Customer Segments
Reddit is targeted at internet users who are interested in curating and sharing content on a community-led platform, and at advertisers that wish to broaden their audience.
Recent research of the platform’s user demographics show that more than half of the site’s users are from the United States, with average users typically being aged between 18 and 29 years old.
Media coverage of Reddit suggests that its users tend to be more private than on other social platforms and are often more technically savvy. Despite this, the platform is targeted at a wide range of users, offering content relating to a full spectrum of topics.
Value Propositions
Reddit’s key value propositions are that it provides users access to a democratic, community-driven, content-rich space free of charge, and provides advertisers access to a large audience of regular users.
The Reddit platform presents itself as a social news platform where ideas and interests can be discussed in greater depth, and users with niche interests can interact with like-minds. The ability of users to vote and actively affect the content of the site is also a major draw.
That the site attracts more than 230 million unique users each month from more than 200 countries is also an attractive prospect to brands and marketing agencies.
Channels
Reddit is accessible either through its desktop or mobile website. While the platform does not have an official Apple iOS or Google Play app, site content can be accessed via a range of third party mobile applications.
Customer Relationships
Reddit is primarily a self-service and community-led platform. Once a user has registered, either with a basic free account or a premium Gold Account, they are able to begin using the platform’s tools autonomously. Content on the site is created, curated and managed by members of the community itself. Experienced users also serve as moderators of discussion boards on specific subjects, known as subreddits, to ensure standards of etiquette.
For advertisers the platform also has a self-service advertising tool on its website, through which brands and individuals wishing to place advertisements in the platform can do so without direct contact with the Company itself. Self-service advertising offerings begin at $5; any ad campaigns with a budget of more than $30,000 however must be discussed with the Reddit team directly.
Reddit is able to interact with its users via its own bulletin boards as well as through direct messaging. The Company also operates several social media accounts, including with leading platforms Twitter and Facebook.
Key Activities
Reddit develops and maintains an online, community-driven platform for the sharing of content. It also provides opportunities for brands and advertising agencies to place sponsored posts and bid on advertising space.
Key Partners
Reddit’s key partners are advertising and media agencies, and other tech companies. Reddit works with media and advertising partners that use the platform to raise the online profiles of their clients through media marketing schemes.
Reddit has partnerships in place with firms such as Prediq Media, and has hosted successful advertising campaigns from companies including Newsweek, Atari and Maker’s Mark. In an additional marketing and branding partnership, Reddit recently teamed up with Google Cloud Platform to publish a series of collaborative branded videos, comprising interviews with entrepreneurs.
In 2014 Reddit partnered with several other online community websites to create the Digital Ecologies Research Partnership, which aims to “promote open, publicly accessible, and ethical academic inquiry into the vibrant social dynamics of the web”. Reddit also has several fundraising partnerships through Reddit Donate and Reddit.Crowdtilt.com.
Until 2016 Reddit operated a Reddit Gold Partnership scheme, through which partner brands offered discounts and deals to premium Reddit users. This program has however been discontinued as of March 2016.
Key Resources
Reddit’s key resources are its IT infrastructure and its personnel. The Company’s community of users, who account for the creation and moderation of content on the site, must also be considered a key resource.
Cost Structure
Reddit’s major costs comprise platform maintenance, personnel salaries, and the operation of a marketing and sales team. It also accrues costs in the form of office and server rental.
Revenue Streams
Reddit has two principal streams of revenue: advertising and its Reddit Gold scheme. Additionally, Reddit has begun to generate some revenue through its Reddit Gifts online marketplace.
In 2015 the Company generated more than $8 million in advertising revenue. The most common advertisements found on the site are sponsored headlines which appear at the top of pages in a style similar to user-submitted posts. In addition to its self-service advertising options, Reddit also operates the Reddit Ads platform, an auction-based system for the sale of advertising space where there is a minimum bid but no capped bid amount.
Reddit also offers a premium subscription service named Reddit Gold which grants users access to additional features and content, including the ability to remove ads, access to new design themes, and access to a members-only subreddit. The Gold Programme costs $3.99 per month or $29.99 per year.

Factory based dependency injection
No man is an island and no code you write lives without dependencies (even your low-level assembly code depends on the processor's microcode). Testing (with) dependencies can be [insert expletive]
Dependency injection to the rescue
The general approach to make dependent code testable is Dependency injection. Instead of calling out and create an instance of the dependency, the dependency is hand over as parameter. This could be in a constructor, a property setter or as method parameter.
A key requirement for successful dependency injection: the injected object gets injected as an Interface rather than a concrete class. So do your homework and build your apps around interfaces.
An example to illustrate how not to do, and how to change:
public Optional<Customer> findCustomer(final String id) {
// Some processing here, omitted for clarity
// actual find
final CustomerDbFind find = CustomerDb.getFinder();
return Optional.ofNullable(find.customerById(id));
}
When you try to test this function, you depend on the static method of the CustomerDb
which is a pain to mock out. So one consideration could be to hand the CustomerDb
as dependency. But this would violate "provide interface, not class". The conclusion, presuming CustomerDbFind
is an interface will be:
public Optional<Customer> findCustomer(final CustomerDbFind find, final String id) {
// Some processing here, omitted for clarity
// actual find
return Optional.ofNullable(find.customerById(id));
}
This now allows to construct the dependency outside the method to test by implementing the interface or using a Mock library
Not so fast
Handing over all dependencies as method parameters can lead to parameter bloat and prevent methods to be used in functional interfaces, which by design don't allow adding additional parameters.
The solution we came up with, is to use a factory interface to provide all those global values (setup, flags, pools etc) in an default implemented interface that is retrieved from a Singleton. Bear with me on the details:
// The interface we get global objects from
public interface GlobalFactory() {
default CustomerDbFind getFinder() {
return CustomerDb.getFinder();
}
// Many more
}
public enum GlobalFactorySource() {
INSTANCE;
// Note the curly brackets at the end
private GlobalFactory gf = new GlobalFactory() {};
public GlobalFactory get() {
return this.gf;
}
public void overWrite(final GlobalFactory overwrite) {
this.gf = overwrite;
}
public void reset() {
this.gf = new GlobalFactory() {};
}
}
Now we can refactor our method to be compliant with functional interfaces (one in, one out):
public Optional<Customer> findCustomer(final String id) {
// Some processing here, omitted for clarity
// actual find
final CustomerDbFind find = GlobalFactorySource.INSTANCE.get().getFinder();
return Optional.ofNullable(find.customerById(id));
}
This now can be used in Java streams like this:
List<Customer> customers = customerIdList.stream()
.map(this::findCustomer)
.filter(Optional::isPresent)
.map(Optional::get)
.collect(Collectors.toList());
Onwards to testing
In your unit test (in BeforeAll) you would overwrite the factory with something constructed or mocked:
GlobalFactory mockFactory = new GlobalFactory() {
@Overwrite
CustomerDbFind getFinder() {
return new MockFinder(); // Or Mockito.mock(....)
}
// Only overwrite the things you need to mock
}
GlobalFactorySource.INSTANCE.overWrite(mockFactory);
// Test code and all goes here
Assertion.assertTrue(findCustomer.isPresent());
// At the end
GlobalFactorySource.INSTANCE.reset();
As usual YMMV

Search engines build index with data
What does the search engine do with the data that was collected by the web crawler?
When web crawler finishes crawling a webpage, a search engine will store data in a placed called index.
Search engine will store information about the data, and the URL for that webpage.


Creating Your First Python Smart Contract¶
Running PyEos¶
Open a terminal, cd to [PROJECT_DIR]/build/program, run the following command
./pyeos/pyeos --manual-gen-block --debug -i
If it’s the first time you start PyEos, PyEos will create a testing wallet for you, which placed in data-dir/mywallet.wallet, and then console will print the wallet password as below:
wallet password: PW5JWE5g6RZ7Fyr2kmCphDqZo4uivdeGpUpndgFZ52rsduhtf9PRJ
Since it’s for testing only, password will save to data-dir/data.pkl, So next time you start pyeos for testing, pyeos will unlock wallet for you.
Also PyEos will import three private key to the wallet, which is useful for testing.
'5KQwrPbwdL6PhXujxW37FSSQZ1JiwsST4cqQzDeyXtP79zkvFD3',
'5JEcwbckBCdmji5j8ZoMHLEUS8TqQiqBG1DRx1X9DN124GUok9s',
'5JbDP55GXN7MLcNYKCnJtfKi9aD2HvHAdY7g8m67zFTAFkY1uBB'
Keep in mind that these private key should never be used in real account, otherwise you will lose all of your crypto property in the account.
Beside that, PyEos will create four important accounts for you:
eosio.bios, eosio.msig, eosio.system, eosio.token
and publish their smart contract on testnet.
Although the above steps will never happen in the real world, but it’s really provide a great convenience for testing smart contract. Thus save a lot of your precious time and make the development more efficient.
Generating source code with sketch¶
Run the following command in PyEos console,
sketch.build('hello', 'helloworld', 'py')
That will create a helloworld directory under your current directory with hello as the testing account name. There are three file generated in the directory:
helloworld.py
helloworld.abi
t.py
Which helloworld.py is the Python smart contract source code, helloworld.abi is the ABI(Application Binary Interface) file for smart contract, t.py contains code for testing smart contract.
In addition, sketch can also create a wasm smart contract project for you, just type the following code in PyEos console, and the testing process has no difference with Python smart contract.
sketch.build('helloworld', 'helloworld', 'cpp')
Testing¶
Now it’s time to run your helloworld smart contract program. Type or copy the following command to the PyEos console:
from helloworld import t
t.test()
You will see the following output on console in green words:
3289633ms thread-1 mpeoslib.cpp:63 print ] hello,world
Congratulations, you have successfully run your first Python smart contract.
Now you can open helloworld.py for coding. Once it’s done, just run t.test() again, there is no need to run other command to publish your testing smart contract, the smart contract will be automatically republish to the testnet if it’s been changed during the running of t.test(). You can also edit the testing code in t.py for testing your smart contract. Once it’s done, just run t.test() again, there is no need to run reload(t), PyEos will do the magic for you. That also works at the situation of adding a new function in test.
There are a lot of examples in programs/pyeos/contracts. Some of them are still in develop, if the example throws exception, then it’s probably not done yet. Pick up an example you interest in and play with it as you want.
