This is a temporary working map coded by Shan Ye. It is recommended to use a laptop or PC to view this page. Some mobile devices are not well supported. It has data points containing metadata info of each location, and spatial grids containing anomaly data. You can select what base map and layers to display from the dropdown menu at the upper right cornor of the map. You can also click on data points and grids to see their IDs and other information. The default view only shows general locations of data points. To see more accurate locations of data points, you need to zoom in the map.
About the data processing
The average temperature at each data point between 8,000 and 12,000 years bp is selected as the reference to generate anomaly data, becuase the spatiotemporal coverage of this period is good for most data points. If a data point does not extend deep enough (>= 1ka) into the chosen period, this data point is dropped.

Apache Cassandra is a highly scalable and reliable database. Cassandra is used in web based applications that serve large number of clients and the quantity of data processed is web-scale (Petabyte) large. Cassandra makes some guarantees about its scalability, availability and reliability. To fully understand the inherent limitations of a storage system in an environment in which a certain level of network partition failure is to be expected and taken into account when designing the system it is important to first briefly introduce the CAP theorem.
According to the CAP theorem it is not possible for a distributed data store to provide more than two of the following guarantees simultaneously.
CAP theorem implies that when using a network partition, with the inherent risk of partition failure, one has to choose between consistency and availability and both cannot be guaranteed at the same time. CAP theorem is illustrated in Figure 1.
Figure 1. CAP Theorem
High availability is a priority in web based applications and to this objective Cassandra chooses Availability and Partition Tolerance from the CAP guarantees, compromising on data Consistency to some extent.
Cassandra makes the following guarantees.
Cassandra is a highly scalable storage system in which nodes may be added/removed as needed. Using gossip-based protocol a unified and consistent membership list is kept at each node.
Cassandra guarantees high availability of data by implementing a fault-tolerant storage system. Failure detection in a node is detected using a gossip-based protocol.
Cassandra guarantees data durability by using replicas. Replicas are multiple copies of a data stored on different nodes in a cluster. In a multi-datacenter environment the replicas may be stored on different datacenters. If one replica is lost due to unrecoverable node/datacenter failure the data is not completely lost as replicas are still available.
Meeting the requirements of performance, reliability, scalability and high availability in production Cassandra is an eventually consistent storage system. Eventually consistent implies that all updates reach all replicas eventually. Divergent versions of the same data may exist temporarily but they are eventually reconciled to a consistent state. Eventual consistency is a tradeoff to achieve high availability and it involves some read and write latencies.
Data must be read and written in a sequential order. Paxos consensus protocol is used to implement lightweight transactions. Paxos protocol implements lightweight transactions that are able to handle concurrent operations using linearizable consistency. Linearizable consistency is sequential consistency with real-time constraints and it ensures transaction isolation with compare and set (CAS) transaction. With CAS replica data is compared and data that is found to be out of date is set to the most consistent value. Reads with linearizable consistency allow reading the current state of the data, which may possibly be uncommitted, without making a new addition or update.
The guarantee for batched writes across multiple tables is that they will eventually succeed, or none will. Batch data is first written to batchlog system data, and when the batch data has been successfully stored in the cluster the batchlog data is removed. The batch is replicated to another node to ensure the full batch completes in the event the coordinator node fails.
A secondary index is an index on a column and is used to query a table that is normally not queryable. Secondary indexes when built are guaranteed to be consistent with their local replicas.

Configuring tfstudio to work with Amazon EC2 cloud¶
This page describes the process of setting configuring studio to work with Amazon EC2 We assume that you have an AWS account set up already, and AWS credentials.
Install boto3¶
tfstudio interacts with AWS via boto3 API. Thus, in order to use EC2 cloud, you’ll need to install boto3:
pip install boto3
Set up credentials¶
Add credentials to the location where boto3 can access them. The recommended way is to install AWS CLI:
pip install awscli
and then run
aws configure
and enter AWS credentials and region. The output format cam be left as None. Alternatively, use any method of letting boto3 know the credentials described here: http://boto3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide/configuration.html


This calculator will ask you some basic questions about your health and goals to determine your calorie and macronutrient goals.
While this calculator will give the most optimum results for a completely accurate body fat percentage, an estimate within a few percent will still provide calorie and macro recommendations that will allow you to achieve your goals.
A sedentary lifestyle is typical of an office worker who gets no outside exercise.
A restaurant employee would have a lightly active lifestyle. 1-3 hours per week of exercise.
An avid hiker would have a moderately active lifestyle. 3-5 hours per week of exercise.
Manual laborers and those that exercise heavily every day have a highly active lifestyle.
Please evaluate your lifestyle. Calorie needs will change depending on lifestyle.
Weight loss and muscle gain will give different ratios for macronutrients.
Make sure that your workouts match your goals selected if you select muscle gain.
If you select aggressive muscle gain and aren't working out sufficiently, you will gain fat as well.
If you select easy and are working out aggressively, you won't have the proper nutrients to take full advantage of your workouts.
Weight loss goal levels are designed for both exercise and not exercising, and aren't as particular.

module docmodel.parsers
ATEEParser
DefaultParser
RTE3Parser
TimebankParser
class ATEEParser
Inherits from: docmodel.parsers.DefaultParser
The parser for ATEE document.
Public Functions
get_dct(self)
All ATEE documents have a DATE tag with a value attribute, the value of that attribute
is returned.
class DefaultParser
The simplest parser, much like the SimpleXml parser for the old simple-xml
doctype. It creates a TarsqiDocument instance with a list of TarsqiDocParagraphs in
it. It finds the target tag, which is assumed to be TEXT, and considers all text
inside as the content of a single TarsqiDocParagraph.
TODO: figure out exatly what it does with the paragraphs and update the documentation
TODO: may want to allow the user to hand in a target_tag as a processing parameter,
thereby bypassing the default list in CONTENT_TAGS. Should include the option to use
--target_tag=None so that we overrule using any tag (for example for documents with
lots of TEXT tags, in which case only the first one of those would be used).
TODO: make this work with pure text input, taking all content, perhaps a default
should be to take all text if no target tag could be found.
Instance variables:
sourcedoc - a SourceDoc instance
elements - a list with TarsqiDocParagraph elements
xmldoc - an XmlDocument instance
metadata - a dictionary
Public Functions
__init__(self, parameters)
Not used now but could be used to hand in specific metadata parsers or other
functionality that cuts through genres.
get_dct(self)
Return today's date in YYYYMMDD format.
parse(self, sourcedoc)
Return an instance of TarsqiDocument. Use self.content_tag to determine what
part of the suorce to take. Populate the TarsqiDocument with the following
content: (i) sourcedoc: the SourceDoc instance that was created by the
SourceParser, (ii) elements: a list of TarsqiDocParagraphs, (iii) xmldoc: an
XmlDocument, this is being phased out, (iv) metadata: a dictionary with now one
element, the DCT, which is set to today.
Private Functions
_find_target_tag(self)
Return the Tag that contains the main content that needs to be processed. Any
text outside of the tag will NOT be processed. Uses the tagnames in CONTENT_TAGS
or the overide in the self.content_tag, which originated from the user
parameters. Return None if there is no such tag.
_get_tag_content(self, tagname)
Return the text content of the first tag with name tagname, return None if
there is no such tag.
class RTE3Parser
Inherits from: docmodel.parsers.DefaultParser
The parser for RTE3 documents, does not differ yet from the default
parser.
Public Functions
get_dct(self)
class TimebankParser
Inherits from: docmodel.parsers.DefaultParser
The parser for Timebank documents. All it does is overwriting the get_dct() method.
Public Functions
get_dct(self, xmldoc=None)
Takes an XmlDocument, extracts the document creation time, and returns it as
a string of the form YYYYMMDD. Depending on the source, the DCT can be
found in one of the following tags: DOCNO, DATE_TIME, PUBDATE or FILEID.
Private Functions
_get_doc_source(self)
Return the name of the content provider as well as the content of the DOCNO
tag that has that information.
_parse_tag_content(self, regexpr, tagname)
Return the DCT part of the tag content of tagname, requires a reqular
expression as one of the arguments.
module functions
escape(data, entities={})
Escape &, <, and > in a string of data.
You can escape other strings of data by passing a dictionary as
the optional entities parameter. The keys and values must all be
strings; each key will be replaced with its corresponding value.
get_today()
Return today's date in YYYYMMDD format.
slurp(text, offset, test)
Starting at offset in text, find a substring where all characters pass test. Return
the begin and end position and the substring.
slurp_space(text, offset)
Starting at offset consume a string of space characters, then return the
begin and end position and the consumed string.
slurp_token(text, offset)
Starting at offset consume a string of non-space characters, then return
the begin and end position and the consumed string.
split_paragraph(text, adjustment=0)
Very simplistic way to split a paragraph into more than one paragraph, simply by
looking for an empty line.

Abstract: We present a probabilistic approach to learning a Gaussian Process classiﬁer in the presence of unlabeled data. Our approach involves a “null category noise model” (NCNM) inspired by ordered categorical noise models. The noise model reﬂects an assumption that the data density is lower between the class-conditional densities. We illustrate our approach on a toy problem and present comparative results for the semi-supervised classiﬁcation of handwritten digits. 1

In patients with cystic fibrosis, extracellular DNA is released by leukocytes that accumulate in the airways in response to chronic bacterial infection. This excess DNA thickens the mucus, which then cannot be cleared from the lung by the cilia. The accumulation leads to exacerbations of respiratory symptoms and progressive deterioration of lung function. At the time of this study more than 90% of cystic fibrosis patients eventually died of lung disease.
Deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I) is a human enzyme normally present in the mucus of human lungs that digests extracellular DNA. Genentech, Inc. cloned a highly purified recombinant DNase I (rhDNase or Pulmozyme) which when delivered to the lungs in an aerosolized form cuts extracellular DNA, reducing the viscoelasticity of airway secretions and improving clearance. In 1992 the company conducted a randomized double-blind trial comparing rhDNase to placebo. Patients were then monitored for pulmonary exacerbations, along with measures of lung volume and flow. The primary endpoint was the time until first pulmonary exacerbation; however, data on all exacerbations were collected for 169 days.
The definition of an exacerbation was an infection that required the use of intravenous (IV) antibiotics. Subjects had 0–5 such episodes during the trial, those with more than one have multiple rows in the data set, those with none have NA for the IV start and end times. A few subjects were infected at the time of enrollment, subject 173 for instance has a first infection interval of -21 to 7. We do not count this first infection as an "event", and the subject first enters the risk set at day 7. Subjects who have an event are not considered to be at risk for another event during the course of antibiotics, nor for an additional 6 days after they end. (If the symptoms reappear immediately after cessation then from a medical standpoint this would not be a new infection.)
This data set reproduces the data in Therneau and Grambsch, is does not exactly reproduce those in Therneau and Hamilton due to data set updates.

Football: Chelsea go second with a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace
LONDON: Second-half strikes by Tammy Abraham and Christian Pulisic handed Chelsea a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace and a sixth consecutive Premier League victory that pushed the Blues up to second in the standings on Saturday (Nov 9).
Abraham broke Palace's resolute defensive line in the 52nd minute after a first-touch pass from Brazilian midfielder Willian and the centre-forward, who spearheads Chelsea's new-look young side, sidefooted past goalkeeper Vicente Guaita.
Pulisic capped a fine display on the wing by making it 2-0 in the 79th minute when a shot by substitute Michy Batshuayi was blocked by former Chelsea defender Gary Cahill and looped into the air invitingly for the American to head home.
Chelsea coach Frank Lampard fielded the Londoners' youngest-ever Premier League starting 11, giving 19-year-old defender Reece James his first start in the league as he replaced Cesar Azpilicueta.
The return of N'Golo Kante after a groin injury, in for Jorginho who was suspended, seemed to give Chelsea a stiffer spine in midfield as they recorded only their third clean sheet of the season.
With the win, Chelsea leapfrogged Manchester City and Leicester City, who have yet to play this weekend, into second spot in the table. They are five points behind leaders Liverpool, who have also a played a game less.


PART I. GENERAL PROVISIONS
Note
Sections 179D-1 to 179D-9 designated as Part I by L 2007, c 262, §2.
§179D-1 Short title. This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the "Hawaii Dam and Reservoir Safety Act of 2007". [L 1987, c 199, pt of §1; am L 2007, c 262, §3]


Pivot and check if you actually crashed the box OR if you actually got banned
SSH, when inside of a connection, can specify "C" hotkey to enable pivoting/tunneling
when testing command injection, if pings are being filtered, maybe use nc/ncat instead
If you have a badchar, try using something that evaluates to it instead. ie: can't use '/' in command injection, but HOME env variable is HOME=/. So you can use $(HOME) in place of /
find $(HOME) 2>$(HOME)dev$(HOME)null
Same trick, bash can use ${variable:<len>:<how many}
so if LANG=en_US.ISO8859-1
${LANG:13:1} will give us '1'
${LANG:13:2} will give us '-1'
etc
an alternate way is just to hex encode and print with printf
printf"\x41" Will print 'A'
Issue when working with other OSs is that not everything is standard
BSD printf"\x41" prints '\x41'
BSD needs: printf"\55" to print a '-' BSD man page shows \num and octal num ASCII
man ascii #will print a nice ascii table quickly
x=($printf"\55")
wc+${x}c+${HOME}home${HOME}user${HOME}user.txt
ipython #interactive python

Set the customErrors mode attribute to On to prevent detailed error messages from reaching the caller. Detailed error messages provide an attacker with valuable system configuration information, making the system far easier to compromise. Furthermore, some detailed error messages may contain sensitive user information. Depending on how your application handles errors, leaving detailed error messages on could directly result in the disclosure of sensitive customer data.
The following example shows <customErrors> set correctly, with custom error pages specified:
<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="ErrDefault.aspx">
<error statusCode="401" redirect="ErrUnauthorized.aspx" />
<error statusCode="404" redirect="ErrPageNotFound.aspx" />
<error statusCode="500" redirect="ErrServer.htm" />
</customErrors>
The defaultRedirect attribute allows you to use a custom error page for your application, which, for example, might include support contact details. Use these application-wide error pages to provide user-friendly responses for errors that are not caught in a structured event handling.

For this project I was given a company "Card Maker Pro" who specializes in card creation. Their company is made up of writers and designers who make cards for other people who pay to have a card made.
Employees have complained about recent updates to their system and I have been asked to assess and redesign their digital workspace.
The digital program they have been using until recently is as follows: Two sides, the right with a card that has been previously made to reference and the left with a new card. Designers would use the old card to copy text from and customize for the current recipient.
The new version, CMP Version 2 which was updated recently has a new layout. It is now only the new card and full screen. In order to switch to the front you must flip it in the top right corner. It turned out employees hated this new version, despite the larger workspace, and wanted another update.
The two things that employees said they used CMP Version 1 for was to look at previously made cards for inspiration and to copy and paste from.
My sketches outlines a design would incorporate both of these requirements as well as the advantages of a full screen format. In order to do this, I thought having a dynamic layout like After Effects would be a great solution.
When the designer is first using the system there should be equal importance set on both the old card, to draw inspiration from, and the new card.
As the process continues the old card should have less importance and the new card should be able to be focused on more. I created a dynamic layout that the user can pull back and forth changing the ratio of the left to right.
This low fidelity prototype was a good way to show how the layout would change based on the importance of what stage the designer was in.
I created a functional protoype with Adobe XD to show the process from start to finish. Check it out here.


A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME
I am a man who is pursuing Jesus, and my future wife, Tricia; who also happens to have a passion for technology and sports. I am committed to not confusing these priorities.
You're probably interested in the technology part of that first statement, so I will continue with that; however, if you would like to hear more about the rest, I'd love to talk.
Technology has always fascinated me. Growing up it was as simple as setting up the Sega and Nintendo 64 by myself so I could sneak in a little more time without my parents knowing. As I grew older, with the internet boom and the release of the smarthpone, the ever increasing bounds on technology and those people who were working to push these bounds grew more and more. Then, once I figured out I could learn how to create websites and applications myself, I was in awe, and have never looked back.
Serving, entertaining, and helping or seeing people's dreams come true have always been passions of mine and through web development I have been able to do all three. I believe this is also where my love for entrepreneurship comes from. The world of entrepreneurship is a fast-paced space (which always keeps things interesting) and everyone is trying to pursue their own dreams.
In short, I love trying to envision the big picture, and then follow through and carry out the small details. If you have a project, no matter how big or small, or just an idea, I would love to hear from you!

cease & desist letter #3 - trenchcoat.org
An archive of disturbing illustration
Part I. Cause
We registered trenchcoat.org, put up admittedly one of
the most timely offensive things that has ever been privilege to
be hosted on the internet. Under "WHO TO SUE" was listed both
rotten.com and Burlington Coat Factory, an outlet store. You can
buy trenchcoats there, the implication of course being that
somehow the Columbine School Massacre was planned and/or instigated
by Burlington Coat. Yeah. Right.
Part II. Conclusion
They were most upset. They called our former ISP a number of times,
and sent us this lovely demand. By then of course, the number of
death threats we had received piled up to a sufficiently interesting
level that the site content was ready to change to its new
"all hate mail" format.

Freelance Profits, Pains, And The Path Forward
Freelance Profits, Pains, And The Path Forward
In these periodical posts, I opine on prose, products, and profits. I do this for your entertainment and education (and, of course, to shamelessly promote myself and my team, as that’s what you do these days.)
At a moment’s notice during the summer of 2013, I fled a well-paying job at an enterprise software start-up in Toronto to join another in San Francisco.
As a young kid who attended the University of Waterloo for Computer Science, I was from Frosh Week forward conditioned to believe that the clearest marker for success was making it down to, and in, the Valley.
That conditioning heavily coloured the early part of my career. From the moment I began working professionally, I measured the success of my employers by their alignment to the Valley’s ideals.
I became obsessed with the Valley’s titanic tech culture, its VCs, and its heroic figures and founders. I became a fervent fan of a new type of player and a different type of hockey sticks. I envied friends who’d made the move and envied further the fortunes that followed them.
But above all, I longed desperately for the sticker-clad MacBook, the vested and still vesting options, the 415-toting Union Square first edition smartphone, the hipster Malaysian vanilla microbrew and the $10 half-caf soy sugar-free latté and the soft-top candy orange S2000 I could drive year-round and the TwilioCon VIP badge with the neat tongue-in-cheek buttons etched with JSON payloads—and to be able to say I was “killing it”.
It should hardly seem surprising, then, that I finally succumbed to the silicon Siren’s song that fateful summer.
But as with anything you put on a pedestal, its reality was far less fulfilling than its fantasy, and in spite of ample opportunity, I left, knowing then as I do now that the place, its people, and its purpose are not for me.
Yet, I needed to try it to know that. I needed to try it to get its distraction out of my system once and for all.
And so, too, can I now likewise dismiss freelancing for a living.
What I Planned
I haven’t posted in a while as I’ve been working through my quarter-end results, and after reflecting on the fiscal year past, I’ve made the decision to close up shop.
At the outset of this year, I published my plans to head towards full-time freelance. I set a public goal for myself: within the calendar year, I would 10X my revenue from the previous year.
(Of course, the truth was that I had already begun the transition in earnest almost 6 months prior and had been building a pipeline and a client base for 6 years prior to that. But everyone needs a good launch story to generate awareness and leads, and “Year One” did just that.)
I accomplished the 10X goal at the end of March to close my Q1. Here’s a look at my profit and loss tracking from my FreshBooks account:
And, in the interest of transparency, here’s what I spent over the same period of time in raw operating costs:
With the revenues generated thus far, and based on warm opps in the pipeline, I would have been able to safely quit my day job, covered my expenses, and enjoyed a reasonably similar (albeit more carefully managed) lifestyle as of today.
What I Learned
But I’m not doing that. I’m instead closing up shop. Why? Well, while the business would be by-definition sustainable, the economics and logistics involved just aren’t attractive. That said, I did learn some valuable lessons worth sharing which help explain my perspective a bit more.
Making Steady Money Isn’t An Issue, If…
In spite of my conclusion, I do want to say firstly that any discomfort around giving up a steady salary is far more surmountable than I had assumed and than most around me had suggested it would be.
(Mind you, it’s worth noting that I am extremely fortunate to know great people like Tiffany daSilva, Loren Maisels, and Anthony Zanfini — entrepreneurs who have each built an admirable service-based small business and provided me with ample direct and indirect reassurance, inspiration, and confidence).
Make no mistake: as a product manager in Toronto, I’m certainly used to a comfortable salary. But while the prospect of dropping that regular income was initially concerning, the eventuality of doing so wasn’t what killed the dream.
That’s because I’ve learned that surviving as a freelancer isn’t an issue if…
- You have a marketable skill that you’re really good at.
- You have a strong network from which to create opportunities.
- You are comfortable giving up excess spending like eating out, drinking, or buying the latest and greatest of everything.

Sure, that may sound like a high bar, but after making it work for myself and being exposed to some of the amazing customers of FreshBooks who do the same every day, there’s no question that, with a marketable skill and a network, anyone can survive as a freelancer with the right amount of self-confidence.
If you’re not there yet, give yourself a few more years of practice and network-building. Then, ask for introductions, find opportunities, lock down written commitments, and get to work. It’s easier than you think.
That said, selling your skills and getting paid for them are two wildly different things.
Making Money Is Easy; Getting Paid Isn’t
If you’re good at what you do, getting someone to agree to pay you is easier than you think it is.
In spite of using software like FreshBooks with all of its automated reminders and late fees and nagging tools baked in, I still had to chase people and big businesses down to get paid.
I won’t go into too much of the gory details, because this is one of the aspects of freelancing that everyone out there will warn you about, but suffice to say, it took a great deal of time to find the right blend of deposits or retainers, remittance windows, and late fees to get paid at all.
If I’m being honest, I still haven’t found the magic formula— and I don’t think anyone really has. Every client is different, and unless you’re a big business selling to smaller ones who desperately need what you’re selling, you’re likely going to get paid on your clients’ terms and timing, not yours.
This reality requires you to carefully manage your cash flow, but if you’re doing the smart thing, and starting your freelance business as a side hustle, you can easily mitigate this problem. It’s only really an issue during the first few quarters of operation, when you’re eating away savings or accruing debt.
All told, you’re at your clients mercy on this one, and I was, too. Hence why I had high hopes that I could succeed by controlling what I could: my operating costs.
Survival Comes At A Great Cost
I’ll give you one guess as to how those hopes panned out.
If I were to use what I’ve learned in the start-up game, and I was to model out my overall economics (which I did), you can rest assured that no one in the world would invest in my business if asked, let alone begged. Family included.
Let’s start with the basics. When it comes to finance and accounting, there are four big numbers that can clearly describe your business’ long-term viability:
- MRR or ARR (monthly or annual recurring revenue)
- CAC (customer acquisition cost)
- LTV (lifetime value)
- and your operating cash flow (OCF) or another similar liquidity ratio
Great small businesses are those that have a predictable revenue stream (represented by MRR or ARR), can repeatably attract and acquire new profitable business (represented by the LTV less the CAC), and can do so without risking insolvency (represented by a positive OCF and liquidity ratio).
Now, when it comes to freelancing, there are some pretty big challenges around economics. This is a moot point if you are simply trying to do what you love, but the reality is that doing what you love will actually cost you a lot of money (in time) if you can’t or don’t scale up beyond a company of one.
Consider my business.
Acquisition Costs
Based on my tracking, the average elapsed time to close a new deal was 3 weeks. In practical terms, I calculated that I’d spend roughly 10–15 hours in meetings and writing proposals to win the business.
Given that my billable rate for non-project hourly work is $95, I can roughly approximate, then, that I spend about $1,425 in time to close a deal.
To generate qualified leads, back-of-the-napkin approximations of the additional costs of variable travel, entertaining, and advertising amount to about $250 per customer.
Importantly, my costs for generating recurring business are actually lower than that in reality because of how I account for life-time value (LTV) of a client. LTV for me represents the full amount of contract work across repeat engagements.
As subsequent projects and work from my clients don’t require spending as much again on winning them over, I generally don’t see that additional $1,425 per contract opp won.
Ergo, the average LTV for one of my clients is about $10K to date, and that number continues to rise as the business goes on given that only 2 clients have capped on LTV (read: churned) in the last year.
Production Costs
Once I win a deal, the elapsed time of researching, producing the content, and going through revisions was, on average, 1 week or 40 hours (though this varies widely project by project). To power those 40 hours, I need to spend roughly $325 in additional costs (e.g., internet, software, etc.).
This amounts to an all-in cost per contract of about $2,000, which against my average contract size ($6,000, exclusive of tax) leaves me with about $4,000.
Assets and Liabilities
When I started the business in earnest, I took on a personal loan from myself of $10,000. With that, I purchased only a single fixed asset — an iPad Pro.
To start, my business had a liquidity ratio of 1:10— which is bad. If it went under, I’d be out the $10k, but I could sell the iPad Pro to recover some of the losses (e.g, $1000).
As my profit and loss chart indicates, I’ve been paying that debt financing down as I’ve earned revenue until I became fully solvent and profitable. My liquidity ratio now sits around ~2:1 — a much better ratio.
My business’ fixed assets (banked profits plus my iPad Pro) are now greater than my outstanding liabilities (as I already paid off the lion’s share of my loan from myself).
Better yet, my business’ on-hand cash is growing month over month (if only slightly), so short of paying myself dividends, I am cash-flow positive.
Taxes
Based on the above, I make on average about $4,000 in EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) per client per year.
After tax and a few other deductions, I’ll see about $3,000. $3,000 in profit for about 60 hours of work roughly comes down to about $50/hr in practical terms.
For a writer, that’s actually… not bad! Given the CAC, LTV, and my liquidity ratios, I’m in pretty good shape.
Well, except for one thing.
The Hidden Opportunity Costs
All of these metrics are great indicators of success for a small business. However, there are a few fundamental flaws in my operating model above:
1) My framing of LTV?  There is no guarantee that my clients come back, and attempts to monetize via retainers (which would allow me to ensure a more consistent flow of capital in) have largely failed.
2) Because I am only one person, I only have two levers to improve my $50/hr rate:
- I take bigger contracts that last longer to spend less on acquisition, which is itself a gamble as it may actually cost more to win those contracts; or
- I raise my prices, which will also likely raise my cost of acquisition as I will price myself out of certain deals.
3) Because I am only one person, each contract I take comes at the cost of some other contract I cannot take because I cannot effectively execute on it in parallel.
The time sensitivity around service-based work creates an almost impossible game to win if you want to grow. Inevitably, you need to hire help.
You’re A Businessman — Not A Business, Man.
And therein lies the rub.
If you want to really profit from your small business, there is an upper bound on what is possible by yourself.
Unless you can automate large swaths of your job, or the service you provide is reliant on infrastructure that you’re largely just reselling for a profit (e.g., web hosting), a freelance service-based business isn’t scalable without hiring staff.
There really are no great solutions out there to solve this problem, either; trust me, I looked.
I see the business development portion of the job as a large untapped market for some SMB software company out there. If I could eliminate or at least subsidize the cost of acquisition from a time investment perspective, then I could theoretically continue to flourish in this freelance business.
Given my skillset, though, if I’m going to run a business, I’d rather run a software business — the margins are way better, for starters, and there’s far more opportunity to scale.
And so, I have arrived at my conslusion after ample real-world testing and economic arithmetic: freelancing full time just isn’t for me.
Where I Stand Now
I can already hear two groups of voices shouting opinions at me through the screen: the “I Told You So’s” and the “You Don’t Do It For The Money, You Do It For The Lifestyle’rs”.
You’re both right, and you’re both wrong.
Ultimately, this experiment, like my trip to San Francisco, was necessary for me. I had to feel it for myself.
I had to wake up at 3 a.m. excited to work on a writing project and I had to stare in the face the ugly facts at month-end that my time was simply not being profitably spent.
I did both, and what I realized in the process is that while I love writing, I have an aptitude for product and for business that like all-too-many things I only came to appreciate after it was cast aside.
Perhaps I have succumbed to a sort of Stockholm syndrome of sorts to product management and product marketing after so many years of being their captive meal after meal. And perhaps not.
Either way, I will always love writing and will always reflect warmly on the days past when it consumed more of my time, but service-based freelance just isn’t a productive way forward for me. So end my plans to go full freelance and my time working with FreshBooks.
TL;DR
So, what’s the long and the short of it?
Freelancing is far more about running a business than it is about doing something you love —and that becomes clear if you do the math as I have above for yourself.
If you have the aptitude and appetite to run a business, you should be starting it with the express intent to build a business (and not a labour of love). And if you do, it’s in your best interest to plan to replace yourself as soon as reasonably possible. Otherwise, you risk doing what you love for yourself at a greater personal cost than you could do what you love for another company.
Over the last year, I’ve learned for myself that I’m not interested in running a writing business — or a service-based business at all.
Can you profit from doing so? Absolutely, if you enjoy managing writers and you have the network to back up your machinations to do so. However, no amount of passion will make your effort profitable lest you can scale it beyond yourself, and at that point, you’re not doing what you love anymore — you’re running a business staffed with other people doing what you love.
For me, if I’m to spend my days managing a business, my efforts will be better served managing the type of business I’ve been trained to run for the last 10 years: a software product one.
I love writing, and I always will. Should the day arise that I can land that perfect job writing about products for a company that I love, I will pursue that.
For now, I will continue to mindfully bet on what I’ve learned about how to build profitable software companies with great products, and what I’ve learned about leading people, for the next adventure ahead.
What adventure, you ask? More on that soon.
What about you? Have any experience freelancing? Have you tried your own thing and then gone back to working on something else? I want to hear your stories. Comment here, or reach me at http://www.frankcaron.com.


My Dear Friend (RE-TRANSFER OF $35.5MILLION US DOLLARS) Please,Permit me to introduce myself to you. My name is Mr. David Rowland, A Top Management Official of one of the finance corporation in Africa.I came to know about you in my private search for a reliable person/company to handle an important assignment on behalf of my Colleagues and myself. A German Mr. Wolfgang Schinister, 66 years of age and a prosperous oilGold merchant had in our Bank the sum of $35.5million in a domiciliary account.Unfortunately, he was killed in the plane crash involving concord AF4590 in Gonesse,France. Efforts had been made by the management of my bank through the German Embassy in Johannesburg to contact any of the deceased children but to no avail, as we were made to understand he had no children. Given the skeletal information available to the bank, it has so far been impossible to reach any of the relatives. The situation left for the Management is to declare the deceased account dormant and revert the Amount to trading on behalf of the interest of the Bank. In order to avoid this development, my Colleagues and I now seek your approval to have you stand as a distant relative to Mr Wolfgang Schinister, so that the money would be released to you. All documents and proofs to enable you get the money will be carefully packaged once we receive your consent on this proposal. I shall apply for a leave as soon as the funds gets into your reliable account to come to your country for possible sharing and investment opportunity which you will assist me in doing. May I assure you that this is safe and risk-free, as we have taken care of all necessary modalities to ensure a hitch-free movement? I have the authority of my partners involved in this assignment to propose that should you be willing to assist us in this, your share would be 25%.I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint me.Then i will like to know your age first to know weather you can be able to do this type of business and send me your telephone number so that i will call you for heart to heart discussion. Best Regards, MrDavid Rowland

Actions, resources, and condition keys for AWS Global Accelerator
AWS Global Accelerator (service prefix:
globalaccelerator
) provides the following service-specific resources, actions, and condition context keys for use in IAM permission policies.

Topics
Actions defined by AWS Global Accelerator
You can specify the following actions in the
Action
element of an IAM policy statement. Use policies to grant permissions to perform an operation in AWS. When you use an action in a policy, you usually allow or deny access to the API operation or CLI command with the same name. However, in some cases, a single action controls access to more than one operation. Alternatively, some operations require several different actions.
The
Resource types
column of the Actions table indicates whether each action supports resource-level permissions. If there is no value for this column, you must specify all resources ("*") to which the policy applies in the
Resource
element of your policy statement. If the column includes a resource type, then you can specify an ARN of that type in a statement with that action. If the action has one or more required resources, the caller must have permission to use the action with those resources. Required resources are indicated in the table with an asterisk (*). If you limit resource access with the
Resource
element in an IAM policy, you must include an ARN or pattern for each required resource type. Some actions support multiple resource types. If the resource type is optional (not indicated as required), then you can choose to use one of the optional resource types.
The
Condition keys
column of the Actions table includes keys that you can specify in a policy statement's
Condition
element. For more information on the condition keys that are associated with resources for the service, see the
Condition keys
column of the Resource types table.
For details about the columns in the following table, see Actions table .

datacompy.core module¶
Compare two Pandas DataFrames
Originally this package was meant to provide similar functionality to PROC COMPARE in SAS - i.e. human-readable reporting on the difference between two dataframes.
-
class
datacompy.core.
Compare
(df1, df2, join_columns=None, on_index=False, abs_tol=0, rel_tol=0, df1_name='df1', df2_name='df2')¶ Bases:
object
Comparison class to be used to compare whether two dataframes as equal.
Both df1 and df2 should be dataframes containing all of the join_columns, with unique column names. Differences between values are compared to abs_tol + rel_tol * abs(df2[‘value’]).
Parameters: df1 : pandas
DataFrame
First dataframe to check
df2 : pandas
DataFrame
Second dataframe to check
join_columns : list or str, optional
Column(s) to join dataframes on. If a string is passed in, that one column will be used.
on_index : bool, optional
If True, the index will be used to join the two dataframes. If both
join_columns
andon_index
are provided, an exception will be raised.abs_tol : float, optional
Absolute tolerance between two values.
rel_tol : float, optional
Relative tolerance between two values.
df1_name : str, optional
A string name for the first dataframe. This allows the reporting to print out an actual name instead of “df1”, and allows human users to more easily track the dataframes.
df2_name : str, optional
A string name for the second dataframe
Attributes
df1_unq_rows (pandas DataFrame
) All records that are only in df1 (based on a join on join_columns)df2_unq_rows (pandas DataFrame

()¶ Whether the columns all match in the dataframes
-
all_rows_overlap
()¶ Whether the rows are all present in both dataframes
Returns: bool
True if all rows in df1 are in df2 and vice versa (based on existence for join option)
-
count_matching_rows

(ignore_extra_columns=False)¶ Return True or False if the dataframes match.
Parameters: ignore_extra_columns : bool
Ignores any columns in one dataframe and not in the other.
-
report
(sample_count=10)¶ Returns a string representation of a report. The representation can then be printed or saved to a file.
Parameters: sample_count : int, optional
The number of sample records to return. Defaults to 10.
Returns: str
The report, formatted kinda nicely.
-
sample_mismatch
(column, sample_count=10, for_display=False)¶ Returns a sample sub-dataframe which contains the identifying columns, and df1 and df2 versions of the column.
Parameters: column : str
The raw column name (i.e. without
_df1
appended)sample_count : int, optional
The number of sample records to return. Defaults to 10.
for_display : bool, optional
Whether this is just going to be used for display (overwrite the column names)
Returns: Pandas.DataFrame
A sample of the intersection dataframe, containing only the “pertinent” columns, for rows that don’t match on the provided column.
-
subset
()¶ Return True if dataframe 2 is a subset of dataframe 1.
Dataframe 2 is considered a subset if all of its columns are in dataframe 1, and all of its rows match rows in dataframe 1 for the shared columns.
-
-
datacompy.core.
columns_equal
(col_1, col_2, rel_tol=0, abs_tol=0)¶ Compares two columns from a dataframe, returning a True/False series, with the same index as column 1.
- Two nulls (np.nan) will evaluate to True.
- A null and a non-null value will evaluate to False.
- Numeric values will use the relative and absolute tolerances.
- Decimal values (decimal.Decimal) will attempt to be converted to floats before comparing
- Non-numeric values (i.e. where np.isclose can’t be used) will just trigger True on two nulls or exact matches.
Parameters: col_1 : Pandas.Series
The first column to look at
col_2 : Pandas.Series
The second column
rel_tol : float, optional
Relative tolerance
abs_tol : float, optional
Absolute tolerance
Returns: pandas.Series
A series of Boolean values. True == the values match, False == the values don’t match.
-
datacompy.core.

suffix : str
What suffix was used to distinguish when the original dataframe was overlapping with the other merged dataframe.
-
datacompy.core.
render
(filename, *fields)¶ Renders out an individual template. This basically just reads in a template file, and applies
.format()
on the fields.Parameters: filename : str
The file that contains the template. Will automagically prepend the templates directory before opening
fields : list
Fields to be rendered out in the template
Returns: str
The fully rendered out file.

Summary
Clear language combines strategies from plain language and simple language that research shows improves the experience of individuals with cognitive and learning disabilities. Clear language helps create more accessible content. It helps people understand what is important and what to do with the information they read. This includes guidance on word choice, language structure, instructions, and use of numbers and symbols.
Writing and editing in plain language means using:
- Common words
- Concrete and literal words and phrases
- Consistent, clear and simple language structure.
- Language that clearly illustrates the main point and take-aways.
- Clear, short, step-by-step instructions
- Explanations of icons, numbers, and acronyms
- Multiple ways to present complex information (images, sound and text)
Why
- Clear language benefits individuals who live with cognitive and learning disabilities, language impairments, memory impairments, and autism.
- People with language impairments often have a reduced vocabulary and learning new terms is a very slow difficult process. For other groups, such as people living with dementia, learning new terms is not realistic or possible. Using uncommon words, that they do not already know, will make the content understandable and unusable.
- Simple tense, concrete language, and active voice makes it clear what needs to be done for individuals who struggle to parse complex sentence structure or interpret implicit information.
- Language is more clear when it’s easier to understand. Readers can follow instructions and remember what’s important. When information is not clear, many people may feel more tired, confused, anxious or distracted.
- Some may read more slowly, re-read many times to process and remember information, or they may not understand the information at all.
- Clear language improves everyone's reading success and allows for a broader audience.
Who it helps
There are many types of disabilities that can make it harder to read, including a large range of cognitive and learning disabilities, mental health conditions, aging-related conditions, and cognitive impacts of some chronic or other health conditions.
Not all individuals with cognitive and learning disabilities have the same needs. Difficulties with reading vary by disability but also by individual. It’s important not to make assumptions. Many people with disabilities can understand specialized or complex information, but they may benefit from the same principles of clear language.
Clear language generally helps everyone, especially people who may have difficulty reading due to disability. Reading may also be more difficult when tired, distracted, under stress, with low-literacy, when working outside one’s first language (such as with some sign language users), or when vision is impaired.
Difficulties with reading may be related to challenges with:
- Learning, decoding, using or remembering words
- Understanding words and phrases that are abstract or ambiguous
- Following complex sentence or story structure
- Reading and processing speed
- Determining main point from detail
- Understanding instructions and what to do with them
- Remembering what was read
- Using new and unfamiliar symbols and/or acronyms
- Understanding math and numbers
How
- Write clearly and edit your content.
- Follow principles for plain language.
- Use a professional editor when possible.
- Refer to the Write tab for more instructions.
Exceptions
- Specialized or complex information - although even where information requires a specialized vocabulary or complex explanation, everyone benefits from some of the same techniques for clear words.
- Where documents are complex or specialized, provide clear language summaries (see summary guidance).
- Copyrighted, artistic or other text material with restrictions that prevent modifications.
- Artistic or humorous works can use figurative language, metaphors, sarcasm, or irony, but if possible, they should give a literal explanation.
Examples
To Be Done (TBD)
Evaluate
Testing Responsibilities
Because language is used in many ways for many different purposes,we do not recommend prescriptive testing. Needs vary between languages. The best way to test this guideline is with an editor who is trained in plain language techniques within the language being used.
- Ensure that the recommendations for clear language in the Write tab are implemented in a way that increases comprehension.
- Clear language is not just a rote implementation of rules. The results of clear language should improve comprehension for everyone, particularly people with cognitive and learning disabilities. The rules should guide without being prescriptive. As a result, clear language benefits from user testing but it is not required.
Auto-Testing Tips:
Use a grammar checker and spell checker. Manually confirm that the error corrections and suggestions make sense.
Manual Testing Tips:
See the Test tab within the Method for Edit Text for Clear Language
Testing with Users:
- Clearly state that the content is being tested not the users
- Ensure that content selected for testing does not raise users’ anxiety
- Test with users who have different cognitive and learning disabilities as their experience will be different.

My most ambitious goal is to be a good UX designer, and all my other small goals are built around becoming UX designers. When I first met UX design, I found its charm. Our efforts are not only to get a job but more importantly, this work can bring happiness to people. Improve product availability, ease of use and user enjoyment. This makes the job and discipline more meaningful. What I was most impressed with within my experience with UX was that a school building was designed by UX students. I am very admired for the intimate detail design and excellent user experience. I think this is my future goal, becoming a UX designer dedicated to improving the lives of others.
About
My Past Design
Poster Design
Although this design seems simple, I have applied all the knowledge I have learned together. This is the first time I've connected design thinking with real tools. I designed the logo using Adobe Illustrator, designed the whole poster using Adobe Photoshop and embellished it
My Angle
Legarcy of hope's mission is to educate all canadians to build just and equitable reconciliation and rehabilitation relationships,expand awareness and access to the rich heritage of indigenous peoples' contributions in Canada and around the world, and promote the history of indigenous peoples in Canada, including the history of injustice. (LEGACY OF HOPE FOUNDATION, 2015) and my goal is to convey this core idea OF helpfulness to others through posters.
Difficulties and Solutions
Difficulties
The first problem I encountered was that I didn't know enough about the design of the poster layout. The main components of a poster are title, background, article, etc. But I don't know all the parts, so the initial poster design was not good
Solutions
First, I searched relevant public benefit posters on the Internet and compared and recorded the layout contents of several public benefit posters. Finally, I came to some conclusions from my own point of view, then I discussed with my partner and finally determined the layout t
Conclusion and Experience
The technique used in the work
Adobe Illustrator：Used to design logos. Adobe Photoshop: Design the layout of the whole poster, including editing text and pictures, post beautification
Process
Ideas——layout sketches——search for available image text——build——beautify, details
Conclusion
Although this poster design is simple, it also USES many techniques. From this point, I think I still need to learn more useful skills and techniques. Discussion with peers is also a very effective way to solve problems. If I will do similar works in the future, I will summarize my previous mistakes and experience and improve myself with each new challenge


Federer and Zverev Mexico City match breaks world attendance record
Broadcaster ESPN claimed a new world record for attendance at a tennis match on Saturday, with more than 42,000 people watching Germany's Alexander Zverev go down 6-3, 4-6, 2-6 to Roger Federer in an exhibition match in Mexico City.
MEXICO CITY: Broadcaster ESPN claimed a new world record for attendance at a tennis match on Saturday, with more than 42,000 people watching Germany's Alexander Zverev go down 6-3, 4-6, 2-6 to Roger Federer in an exhibition match in Mexico City.
That smashed an almost decade-old record of 35,681 set at an exhibition game between Belgian Kim Clijsters and Serena Williams in Belgium in 2010.
ESPN put the exact number of fans in Mexico City’s bullring at 42,517.
Even before Saturday's match, Federer had announced his intention to set a new world record for attendance when he meets Rafael Nadal in an exhibition match in South Africa in February.
That duel will be staged at the Cape Town Stadium, which has a capacity of 55,000. It will also have the draw of a preceding doubles match in which Federer will partner Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Nadal will play alongside South African comedian Trevor Noah.

As with other I/O devices, the console is an asynchronous device. This class provides methods in order to preserve mutual exclusion on the console device. Two operations can be called : the first one writes a string to the console and the second one reads a string from the console. They return only when the read or write operation is completed.
|
|
Constructor. Initialize the console driver (lock and semaphore creation) |
|
|
Destructor. De-allocate data structures needed by the console driver (semaphores, locks). |
|
|
Operate a V on the "read" semaphore to signal a char is read. The method is called by the interrupt handler ConsoleGet. |
|
|
Receive a string from the console device using a lock to prevent from concurrent accesses. The method returns when all characters has been received.
|
|
|
Operate a V on the "write" semaphore to signal a char is written. The method is called by the interrupt handler ConsolePut. |

template <class ForwardIterator> ForwardIterator unique(ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last); template <class ForwardIterator, class BinaryPredicate> ForwardIterator unique(ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last, BinaryPredicate binary_pred);
The reason there are two different versions of unique is that there are two different definitions of what it means for a consecutive group of elements to be duplicates. In the first version, the test is simple equality: the elements in a range [f, l) are duplicates if, for every iterator i in the range, either i == f or else *i == *(i-1). In the second, the test is an arbitrary Binary Predicate binary_pred: the elements in [f, l) are duplicates if, for every iterator i in the range, either i == f or else binary_pred(*i, *(i-1)) is true. [2]
vector<int> V; V.push_back(1); V.push_back(3); V.push_back(3); V.push_back(3); V.push_back(2); V.push_back(2); V.push_back(1); vector<int>::iterator new_end = unique(V.begin(), V.end()); copy(V.begin(), new_end, ostream_iterator<int>(cout, " ")); // The output it "1 3 2 1".
Remove all duplicates from a vector of chars, ignoring case. First sort the vector, then remove duplicates from consecutive groups.
inline bool eq_nocase(char c1, char c2) { return tolower(c1) == tolower(c2); } inline bool lt_nocase(char c1, char c2) { return tolower(c1) < tolower(c2); } int main() { const char init[] = "The Standard Template Library"; vector<char> V(init, init + sizeof(init)); sort(V.begin(), V.end(), lt_nocase); copy(V.begin(), V.end(), ostream_iterator<char>(cout)); cout << endl; vector<char>::iterator new_end = unique(V.begin(), V.end(), eq_nocase); copy(V.begin(), new_end, ostream_iterator<char>(cout)); cout << endl; } // The output is: // aaaabddeeehiLlmnprrrStTtTy // abdehiLmnprSty
[1] Note that the meaning of "removal" is somewhat subtle. Unique, like remove, does not destroy any iterators and does not change the distance between first and last. (There's no way that it could do anything of the sort.) So, for example, if V is a vector, remove(V.begin(), V.end(), 0) does not change V.size(): V will contain just as many elements as it did before. Unique returns an iterator that points to the end of the resulting range after elements have been removed from it; it follows that the elements after that iterator are of no interest. If you are operating on a Sequence, you may wish to use the Sequence's erase member function to discard those elements entirely.
[2] Strictly speaking, the first version of unique is redundant: you can achieve the same functionality by using an object of class equal_to as the Binary Predicate argument. The first version is provided strictly for the sake of convenience: testing for equality is an important special case.
[3] BinaryPredicate is not required to be an equivalence relation. You should be cautious, though, about using unique with a Binary Predicate that is not an equivalence relation: you could easily get unexpected results.
