This event is fully product-building-oriented. The organizers invited speakers from Spotify, Google, Pepsico, Walmart, Mixpanel, Amplitude, Priceline, and others.

If you ever have taken a yellow book with the brain drawn on the cover, probably you were reading "Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products" by Nir Eyal. Well, at the conference he will be speaking about the aspects of controlling attention and choosing life.

Even if you are Apple Music fan, you might be interesting in what makes Spotify so special. Morgan Brown, Product Manager at Spotify, will tell you about the primary artifact of product brief.

2019-08-29 09:57:30 This is a mad world or the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

This year the PHP Central Europe Conference won’t happen. It was canceled. The thing is, the Internet foamed with hatred. The organizers of the conference were blamed in diversity discrimination. It turns out that only white men were announced as speakers. And no women.

(No jokes! )

The organizers noted that anyone could apply for a speech, and only one woman filed an application with the same lecture that she had given last year.

Internet warriors were not at a loss. They said that organizers MUST persuade women and representatives of different ethnic groups to join the conference and speak.

Like, “Hey, we have not enough women in the list, please, join”

Some quotes:

"In portraying a wholly male speaker line-up, the organizers indicate that this conference is for men, even if that was not their intent. Many potential attendees, particularly those from minority groups, will look at that line-up and conclude that the conference is not for them. They aren’t just looking at the talk content; they are looking for role models, people like them, people to inspire them… and they don’t see that in a male-dominated line-up. And any technical conference such as PHPCE is much more than simply a sharing of technical ideas. It is an event for socializing, and for networking. And those potential ticket-buying attendees from minority groups will be dissuaded from buying tickets if they believe that the event is simply a gathering of men."

"This is a bad take. it's on you the conference to make sure that you are reaching out to diverse speakers. I probably wouldn't feel comfortable speaking at your event given these responses FWIW."

"Following on from Larry’s withdrawal I had a further email exchange with the organizers, during which they offered to accept that one additional proposal that they had received from a woman. It’s somebody that I know, that I have heard speak before, and I know her to be a very confident and capable speaker with good technical knowledge to share. But that then puts a lot of pressure on the woman, knowingly being invited to speak after an all-male speaker list has already been announced, making her a “token” to diversity, and that isn’t a good thing either."

Please, confirm humanity. Open / Comment

What kind of reality is it?

The first week of August moved on. It’s marked by one of the biggest specialized data science events. It’s called ODSC India, which was mostly about AI and ML. It is what to expect, what is ordained from the future of 2020.

Jared Lander, Chief Data Scientist at Lander Analytics, talked about key concepts of ML and AI, avoiding buzzwords and technical terms. Instead, he emphasized more on how good code should look like. Speaking about the code, by the way, there were Python-dedicated workshops. With machine learning engineers participants practiced Time series analysis and forecasting using XGBoost.

During case study discussion, Yash Deo, Consultant (AI and ML) at PwC, shared how he sussed out AI as an important step to generate actionable insights from open source data.

Yash Deo also noted that it’s possible to predict the occurrence of certain events (eg. Riot's) based on information gathered from various Open Sources. What is more interesting is that now police and government are able to identify and predict potential suspicious accounts (Security use Case). Should it help to shorten a number of terrorist attacks? Time will show.

The conference is over. Anyway you can still make a few clicks on the agenda to get the links to some great presentations.

2019-07-21 21:13:16 ​​London is the capital of Great Tech

Last week London was hit by tech in all of its forms. There was a 2-day festival full of sources for innovation. Its name Unbound London.

The lucky ones — let’s say those who attended the event — now can talk about the investments in bitcoins. And that will be something more than just glare of rhetoric.

During the Innovation in finance panel, there was a discussion about banks which are balancing between regulation and innovation with regards to enhancing the customer experience.

Researchers recently discovered a fact that the global cost of cybercrime is $600 billion annually. Raj Samani, McAfee Chief Scientist at McAfee, told about the accurate ways of protection for achieving cybersecurity.

♀ 4 women's health products — wearable breast pump for mothers and Trainer app — raised $42M in funding. It won’t be true to say it was easy. They needed to break through the rooted stereotypes in healthcare for that. Tania Boler, Founder & CEO at Elvie, shared innovative solutions they used to get that pretty sum of money.

Ben Hookway, CEO at Relative Insight believes that a large amount of language data goes unused. So he showed how the understanding of language techniques influence consumers. Well...language still has power. And Ben proved that it helps businesses earn money.

Don’t worry if you missed techy event this year. It will be happening again next year. Open / Comment
