Public resources shouldn’t pay for the willfulness of “alice friends” time and time again. This is the consensus of most people, but when it comes to specific scenarios, there are often vast differences.

A few days ago, the Culture and Tourism Bureau of Huangshan City, Anhui Province asked for opinions from the society and plans to expand the scope of paid rescue from the Huangshan Scenic Area to the entire mountainous area. At the same time, the expense items, review process and legal responsibilities are also detailed. In 2018, Huangshan Scenic Area opened the first paid rescue in China, and formulated the first domestic regulated document of the paid rescue system. The draft released this time has won overwhelming support and “applause” from netizens.

In fact, not only Huangshan, but many scenic spots in China are also experimenting with paid rescue methods. For example, the Yading Scenic Spot in Daocheng, Sichuan Province “marks prices” according to the search and rescue route: Yading Village, Yeerhong Village to Kanggu Gongga Galaxy area, search and rescue costs from 15,000 Starting at RMB 20,000, the search and rescue costs for the other 4 routes all start at RMB 20,000.

Compared with the previous “unlimited responsibility”, the introduction of the paid rescue system is tantamount to drawing a circle for the behavior of “allies”. Responsibility decomposition, risk-taking, benefit coordination, etc. will also make the current rescue more standardized. This is also a unity of rights, responsibilities, and obligations, and conforms to the principle of fairness and justice. After all, for outdoor adventures, the “Asses” should take into account the risks they will encounter and bear the corresponding responsibilities for these risks. It is obviously unreasonable if they are all transferred to public institutions.

Huangshan’s first “paid rescue” has indeed produced a certain degree of deterrence and alertness. According to statistics, the annual rescue volume in Huangshan Scenic Area was about 400 cases, of which about 75% were general rescues, and about 25% were severe or severely injured. The resulting costs range from hundreds of thousands to millions, which are basically borne by the scenic spot. The paid rescue method has been implemented for nearly a year, and the number of illegal expeditions intercepted and investigated in Huangshan Scenic Area has dropped significantly to 41 persons in 3 batches. It can be seen that the responsibility sharing mechanism passed in accordance with the law and regulations has indeed played a certain role in restraining the risk of violations of the “Asses”.

Public resources should not pay for the willfulness of the “alice friends” time and time again. This is the consensus of most people, but when it comes to specific scenarios, there are often very different and complicated entanglement relationships. Therefore, we must be vigilant about “one size fits all” and cannot rescue from the public. Jump to the “Sky-Priced Rescue” in one go.

First, paid rescue cannot replace related public management responsibilities. Many “Asses” have accidents, of course, are closely related to their lack of professional knowledge, professional skills, lack of physical strength, and mismatched equipment. These problems have always been criticized in the past, and they think that these “Asses” are curious and overestimated. In the end, he blindly ventured into danger after gaining his own ability. However, it should also be noted that the torrential rains and landslides encountered by many people involved in risk are “force majeure.” In the process, it is not easy to accurately distinguish which are paid rescues and which are public rescues.

What’s more, my country’s emergency rescue is generally based on free rescue by the public sector. When citizens encounter unexpected risks, the government has the responsibility and obligation to provide emergency rescue. From the point of view of the “Asses” itself, it is also a statutory right to make rescue requests in danger. The “Travel Law of the People’s Republic of China” does stipulate that “travelers shall pay the expenses that should be borne by the individual after receiving assistance from relevant organizations or institutions.” How to clarify the responsibilities of all parties, and then calculate the part that an individual should bear, obviously requires more professional judgment. In any case, public responsibility cannot simply be completely replaced by “paid rescue”.

Start paid rescue, also May wish to introduce more business logic to make it more standardized and transparent, and avoid excessive charges and sky-high charges. Considering that the appeals of rescuers are life-saving, they often lack the motivation and ability to bargain. In order to avoid the situation of abnormally high prices, the introduction of a market mechanism may be a way. For example, an insurance company launches outdoor insurance. Just like the rescue list in auto insurance, “Asses” can call for service at any time if something happens.

Paid assistance is a useful supplement to public assistance. “Asses” must of course cherish life, respect nature, exercise more restraint and self-discipline, and tourism departments and related scenic spots must strengthen warnings and on-site management of illegal outings and expeditions. In the event of misfortune and danger, we must abide by the principle of “life first” and make every effort to rescue.

Biden has been yelling “The United States is back” recently, in an attempt to reshape the leadership of the United States among allies. Therefore, he is embarrassed to ignore the cry of allies or partners. Although the new crown vaccine in the United States cannot be given, other aspects can also soothe Ukraine’s injured heart.

The US Pentagon recently announced that it will provide Ukraine with US$150 million in military aid. In addition, according to Guangming.com, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba revealed in an interview with the media that President Zelensky of the country will visit the United States at the end of July and hold a meeting with U.S. President Biden.

Earlier this month, Biden formally invited Zelensky to visit the United States during a telephone meeting. Kuleba also stated: “Because of the extensive agenda between the United States and Ukraine, Zelensky will lead a large delegation to visit the United States by then.” This is enough to show that Biden has given Zelensky enough face this time.

Obviously, Biden is really different from Trump. He is purely a political veteran. Knowing that Zelensky has been crippled by the United States and Europe one after another, it must be uncomfortable now. Therefore, Biden sent two carrots to Ukraine in succession, hoping to quell the grievances in the hearts of the Ukrainian authorities. After all, people have long been acting as American anti-Russian cannon fodder, and the price they have to bear is heavy enough.

It stands to reason that Biden threw two carrots to the Kiev authorities one after another, and the Kiev authorities should be happy at this time. Who would have thought that after receiving Biden’s “compensation”, instead of being happy about it, the Kiev authorities would cry even more miserably.

On the 11th local time, Vitrenko, chairman of the board of directors of the Ukrainian oil and gas company, said in an interview with Bloomberg that the completion and commissioning of the Beixi-2 project may lead to the outbreak of a full-scale war. He believes that the worst situation caused by the Beixi-2 project is not just to reduce Ukraine’s billions of dollars in revenue each year, but more importantly, it will mean the outbreak of an all-out war in Europe.

The war argument provided by Vitrenko is that the gas supply facility through the Beixi-1 pipeline in Ukraine is a tool to prevent Russia from launching a war against Ukraine. If the Beixi-2 project is completed, Russia will no longer be constrained by Ukraine when it comes to exporting natural gas to Europe. By then, if Russia wants a military invasion, Ukraine will not have the capital to prevent Russia from launching a war.

In fact, Vitrenko is not suffering from fantasy obsessive-compulsive disorder, nor is there any sign of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. He is just using the “outbreak of total war” as a gimmick, trying to give the United States a rhythm to stop the Beixi-2 project, hoping to use Biden’s hands to destroy the project. Therefore, Vitrenko added: If the United States abandons its pressure on Beixi-2, it may have a negative impact on many pro-Western countries in Eastern Europe, including Ukraine.

In the final analysis, Vitrenko linked the Beixi-2 project to the outbreak of the full-scale war, positioning it as a major factor that “undermines European security and stability.” Vitrenko’s move. It is putting pressure on Biden in another way to pave the way for Zelensky’s visit to the United States at the end of July to persuade Biden to destroy the Beixi-2 project.

However, Ukraine clearly overestimates its position in the United States. In fact, don’t think that if Biden gave two carrots to Kiev, he can push his nose and give guidance to the United States on the Beixi-2 project and even the issue of US-Russian relations. That is wishful thinking.

In fact, with regard to Ukraine’s interests, it is the United States and Russia that really have the final say. Ukraine is at best a pawn in the game of great powers. In the end, whether it can continue to eat food for it, or prevent it from continuing to survive, is the United States. Russia has the final say, not Zelensky or his successor.

In response to the feedback from many driver masters that “carpooling has picked up multiple passengers and only received money from one passenger”, Sun Shu first explained the pricing rules of drivers and passengers in the carpooling scenario.

Take the carpooling itinerary in the above figure as an example. From the point where passenger A gets on the bus to the point where passenger B gets off, it is the driver’s billing itinerary. According to the real-time pricing rules of express trains, the driver’s income is calculated according to the actual mileage and duration.

In other words, from the time the first passenger gets on the bus to the last passenger gets off, the whole journey will be priced in real time by express.

For ride-sharing passengers, each person only needs to pay for the ride-sharing price for this journey.

On the one hand, the price of carpooling is a discounted price given by thanking users for willingness to share their seats, and on the other hand, it also allows every user to feel the “certainty” of the price, and there is no need to worry about congestion or detours when sending carpooling friends. Even if the traffic jam or the distance is a bit winding, the driver can still earn income based on the actual mileage and duration.

There is also a driver’s master who raised a question of rake:

“I pulled three carpool orders today and asked how much each passenger paid. The amount of each order is different. How do you calculate it?” According to the driver’s own algorithm, the platform took 28.99%. , 17.56%, -16%.

So, why is the money taken by the platform different for different ride-sharing orders?

Sun Shu explained, In the car-sharing scenario, the gap in the proportion of drivers’ income is relatively large. Generally, Pinyou is particularly smooth. The higher the degree of route overlap, the lower the proportion of the driver’s income to the total passenger payment. However, the Didi platform also promises that if this proportion is less than 70%, it will replenish the driver.

Sometimes due to severe route congestion, temporary cancellation of Pinyou, and failure to join together, there will indeed be “negative commissions”, that is, the driver’s income is greater than the passenger fare.

According to Sun Shu, For every 5-6 ride-hailing rides, one ride is negative, That is, the platform is losing money.

In order to encourage more drivers to take more carpool orders, Starting from June 14th, Didi Chuxing will pilot the “Morning Peak Zero Commission” plan in Taiyuan, Nanjing, Yantai, Shaoxing and other cities on weekdays from 7 am to 10 am, and it will gradually cover the whole country, and all passengers who make orders The total fare paid is paid to the driver in full.

In the driver’s bill of the ride-sharing 0 commission plan, you can see the total amount paid by all passengers, the amount of real-time pricing for the driver’s entire trip, and the amount of subsidies (if any) on various platforms.

When the passenger’s total payment amount is less than the driver’s real-time pricing amount, the driver still earns income according to the real-time pricing. In other words, when the passenger pays insufficient fees, the platform will replenish the driver’s master.

In 2020, Didi issued a total of more than 500 million yuan in compensation for loss of income to the masters.Among them, the compensation fee for empty driving is 237 million yuan, and the fare advance due to passengers not paying the fare is 279 million yuan. ——The latter is the fare in 2020 that has been reminded by SMS and other methods but passengers have not yet paid.

After a hacker attack Meat producer JBS pays ransom

Status: 10.06.2021 7:13 a.m.

The world’s largest meat company JBS has apparently paid a ransom of $ 11 million after a cyber attack by hackers. It was another incident in a series of corporate blackmail cases in the United States. The US subsidiary of the Brazilian meat processor JBS paid the equivalent of eleven million dollars in ransom after a hacker attack. The payment was made to prevent further disruption by the hackers and to restore the smooth operation of the affected locations, said the Dallas-based company. According to the US media, the payment was made in Bitcoin. According to the US government, the company had received a ransom note from a criminal organization likely based in Russia. The attack paralyzed JBS production in Australia and affected Canada and the United States.

“A difficult decision”

“This was a very difficult decision for our company and for me personally,” explained Managing Director Andre Nogueira. “However, we felt that this decision had to be made in order to avoid any potential risk to our customers.” The investigations are still ongoing, but preliminary results have suggested “that no company, customer or employee data has been compromised.”

US investigators suspect Russia is behind it

US President Joe Biden said last week that investigators had linked Russia to the JBS case. “JBS USA was in constant contact with government officials throughout the incident,” the company said. In the USA, the state and business are currently fighting a series of attacks with blackmail software known as “ransomware”. The data of the attacked systems are encrypted. The hackers demand cash payments in cryptocurrency so that they can unlock access again and not publish the data.

Ransom payment in Bitcoin

The US utility company was also last month Colonial pipeline The victim of a hacker attack with a blackmail Trojan that temporarily shut down the entire pipeline network. The US Federal Police FBI blames a hacker group called “Darkside” for the attack and later tracked down the ransom of 75 Bitcoin that Colonial had paid – at the time it was worth $ 4.4 million.

Hard working conditions “Bitter” strawberries from Spain

Status: 10.06.2021 10:56 a.m. The seasonal workers on site receive only a fraction of the price paid in Germany for strawberries from Spain. The strawberry farmers say: The supermarkets are pushing the price. By Reinhard Spiegelhauer, ARD studio Madrid Strawberries as far as the eye can see and an intense fragrance that is so strong that it is almost unpleasant. A small refrigerated truck is parked on the way between the fields. Two dozen of a good 100,000 seasonal workers stand between the green beds, pecking the bright red fruits during the season. “It’s difficult in Morocco,” says the single mother Fatima. As a harvest helper, the Moroccan receives the equivalent of only six and a half euros per day in her home country – over 40 in Spain. Fatima canceled the agreed on-site interview that morning. She answers the questions via voicemail. Because her boss told her she couldn’t just talk to journalists.

“We don’t know what our wages are”

Is there any other pressure? Yes, she says, anyone who collects a battered strawberry will be sent home or even not allowed to work for a whole day.

We don’t even know what the wages are. Some say 42 euros, others 40 euros. “No, no,” says Manuel Reina from the farmers’ association in the shadow of the refrigerated truck. Everyone would be treated properly. The strawberry farmers even provided free apartments:

If individuals do not adhere to the guidelines, then it’s like in politics, the police or administration. A few black sheep cannot be used to identify the entire province of Huelva.

Union speaks of exploitation

Trade unionist José Antonio Brazo from the Andalusian Workers’ Union frowns. A few kilometers further on, from a railway embankment, he looks out over the endless sea of ​​greenhouses. Silvery shiny plastic film to the horizon. The collective wage is systematically not paid, says Brazo. “We’re talking about exploitation here. In every village here there is a figure of Mary who is venerated – but in reality everyone worships the mammon.” In fact, a study by the Löning sustainability consultancy in Berlin found that harvest workers are often poorly paid.

Study: Supermarkets’ price dictation

Manuel Reina from the farmers’ association defends himself: Actually, the farmers are the “pinched” ones. You take all the risk, he complains. They would have to advance everything and would not get a reasonable price for their product. Farmers hardly see anything of what consumers pay for. One to one and a half euros per kilo of strawberries that went over the counter in the supermarket for six euros. The price dictation is also discussed in the Berlin study. For trade unionist José Antonio Brazo it is clear:

The red fruits, the strawberries, they are no longer sweet, but bitter.

Disclosure report Bezos, Musk and Co. hardly paid any taxes

As of: 06/09/2021 05:04 a.m.

A new report reveals that the richest Americans hardly pay any income tax – among them Amazon founder Bezos and Tesla boss Musk. The tax authority wants to determine how the confidential data became public. By Torsten Teichmann, ARD studio Washington In 2007, multibillionaire Jeff Bezos didn’t pay a dime in US income tax. In 2011, too, the Amazon founder offset his income against losses so much that the US tax authority IRS granted him an income-related child allowance of 4,000 US dollars. This had often been speculated about. But now the numbers are known. The foundation for investigative journalism ProPublica quotes from Bezos tax return. These tax tricks are not illegal. But the network of loopholes and discounts remains denied to most Americans due to lack of assets. They move from salary to salary, as US President Joe Biden complains time and again: “Sometimes I argue with friends in the Democratic Party about it: It’s okay to be a billionaire or a millionaire, but pay your fair share.”

What tax amounts are fair for the rich?

But how much should the top 0.01 percent in the US contribute financially to society? There is a dispute about this. The ProPublica report rekindles this debate. The foundation has obtained official tax documents from thousands of the richest Americans, says the journalist Jesse Eisinger involved in the NPR radio station. They cover a period of 15 years. ProPublica initially refers to the reported income from the tax returns of the 25 richest Americans and the increase in wealth over the period that is not taxed. In addition to Bezos, Tesla founder Elon Musk, Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg and New York’s ex-Mayor Michael Bloomberg will be there.

If we look at the actual tax on capital growth – which is essentially your income – then its tax rate is 3.4 percent. For people like Jeff Bezos or Warren Buffet, it’s even less.

Far from the top tax rate of 37 percent

The investor Warren Buffet paid 0.1 percent tax on income and asset growth between 2014 and 2018, ProPublica calculates. At Bezos it is just under one percent. Americans pay an average of 14 percent income tax. The top tax rate would be 37 percent. America’s billionaires are far from that. The Biden administration reacted cautiously to the findings. Any unauthorized publication of government documents is against the law, said Biden’s spokeswoman Jen Psaki. The Ministry of Finance is trying to clarify how the tax returns have come to the public.

Generally speaking, we know that more needs to be done to ensure that businesses and high-income citizens do more of their fair share. This is what the President says in his proposals, in his budget, and this is how he wants to pay for his proposals. A government proposal provides for higher taxes for households with an annual income of more than $ 400,000. According to the ProPublica report, however, it is completely unclear whether a corresponding reform will generate additional income as long as the loopholes in the tax laws of the USA are not closed.

After a hacker attack Investigators come to extorted pipeline millions

Status: 08.06.2021 02:12 a.m.

It has been a month since the largest gasoline pipeline in the United States was hacked. The operator paid millions to the extortionists. Now the investigators report a success. After the hacker attack on the largest gasoline pipeline in the United States, investigators recovered most of a ransom payment in the digital currency Bitcoin. The US Department of Justice announced that 63.7 Bitcoin, currently valued at around 2.3 million US dollars, had been seized. The FBI was able to identify a digital wallet that hackers allegedly used to collect a payment from the company concerned, said the agency’s deputy director Paul Abbate.

Hacker from Russia suspected behind the act

The company Colonial Pipeline announced in early May that it had been the victim of a hacker attack. As a result, the pipeline, through which about 45 percent of all fuel consumed on the US east coast runs, was temporarily completely shut down. There were petrol shortages in parts of the country. The capital Washington was particularly hard hit, where at times 88 percent of the gas stations ran out of fuel. “It was an attack on one of our most important national infrastructures,” said Lisa Monaco from the US Department of Justice. The US government suspects hackers from the DarkSide group from Russia behind the crime. Both US authorities and IT security experts strongly advise companies against paying ransom so as not to incentivize cyber criminals to blackmail them. But the pipeline operator paid, as company boss Joseph Blount admitted in the “Wall Street Journal” at the end of May. He authorized a payment of $ 4.4 million. Blount explained the controversial decision by saying that the company was unsure about the extent of the system damage caused. According to the US Department of Justice, Colonial Pipeline had quickly notified the FBI that DarkSide had broken into the computer network and the company had paid the requested ransom of 75 Bitcoin.

Colonial boss praises investigators

In so-called ransomware attacks, data on computers is encrypted – and the attackers usually demand a ransom for the release. Cases in which companies paid were also known before. But it is extremely rare to get the money back. Colonial chief Blount praised the work of the FBI investigators in a statement. He also said the private sector needs to take cyber threats seriously and invest to better defend against them. “Ransomware attacks have increased in scope and sophistication over the past year, targeting our critical infrastructure, businesses of all kinds, entire cities and even law enforcement agencies,” said Monaco from the Justice Department. “Ransomware and digital extortion pose a threat to national and economic security in the United States.” Just a few weeks after the attack on the gasoline pipeline, the world’s largest meat company JBS was hit by a massive cyber attack. Large parts of the production in North America and Australia were paralyzed.

Edit | Tina Technology Radar is a technology trend report that ThoughtWorks releases every six months. It keeps track of how interesting technologies are developed, which we call items. The technology radar uses quadrants and rings to classify it. Different quadrants represent different types of technologies, and the rings represent our maturity assessment. After six months of tracking and precipitation, ThoughtWorks TAB (ThoughtWorks Technical Advisory Committee) produced the 24th technical radar for technicians based on our practice cases in multiple industries. Analyze more than one hundred technical items, explain their current maturity, and provide corresponding technical selection suggestions. 1 Four themes in this issue Platform team that accelerates product launch More and more organizations are adopting the concept of platform team to develop products, that is, setting up a dedicated team to create and support internal platform functions, and use these functions to accelerate application development, reduce the complexity of operation and maintenance, and shorten the time to market time. This increasingly mature approach is welcome, so as early as 2017, we introduced this technology to technology radar. But as maturity increases, we find that organizations should avoid using some anti-patterns when applying this technology. For example, “using one platform to rule everything” may not be the best choice. “Building a big platform in one step” may take several years to deliver value. In line with the original intention of “Once it is built, there will be people using it”, it may be a huge waste in the end. On the contrary, using product thinking helps to understand the services that each internal platform should provide based on the needs of product customers. But if the platform team is allowed to only solve the problems submitted in the technical support ticket system, then this approach will produce the old-fashioned operation and maintenance island team, and the corresponding disadvantages of demand priority imbalance, such as slow feedback and response, and Competing for scarce resources and other issues. In addition, we have also seen some new tools and integration models emerge to effectively divide teams and technologies. The convenience of integration overwhelms the single best solution We have seen corresponding developer-oriented tool integrations on many platforms (especially in the cloud field). For example, artifact libraries, source code control, CI/CD pipeline, wiki, and similar tools. Development teams usually manually select these tools and stitch them together as needed. Having a combined tool stack can bring more convenience and less work to developers, but this tool set rarely represents the best solution. Too complicated to get into the radar In the nomenclature of technical radar, the final state of the discussion of many complex topics will be “TCTB-too complex to enter the radar (too complex to blip)”. This means that those items cannot be categorized because they exhibit too many pros and cons, as well as a large number of nuances regarding suggestions, applicability of tools, and other reasons, which prevents us from summarizing them in just a few sentences. . These topics usually appear every year, including monorepos, distributed architecture orchestration guidelines, branch models, and so on. Like many topics in software development, there are too many trade-offs to provide clear advice. Identify the architectural coupling context In software architecture, how to determine an appropriate level of coupling between microservices, components, API gateways, integration centers, front-ends, etc. is a topic that is discussed in almost every meeting. It can be seen everywhere that when two pieces of software need to be connected together, architects and developers are struggling to find the right level of coupling. We need to spend time and energy to understand these factors, and then make these decisions according to local conditions, instead of hoping to find a general but inappropriate solution. 2 First look at some of the quadrant highlights Platform Engineering Product Team (Adopted) As pointed out in one of the topics of this issue of Radar, the industry has accumulated more and more experience in the “platform engineering product team” that creates and supports internal platforms. Teams in the organization use these platforms to accelerate application development, reduce operational complexity, and shorten time to market. As the adoption rate increases, we are becoming more and more aware of the good and bad patterns of this approach. When creating a platform, it is important to clearly define the customers and products that can benefit from it, rather than building it out of thin air. We not only have to beware of the layered platform team, it retains the existing technology islands, but is just labeled as the “platform team”, and we must also be careful about the work order-driven platform operation model. When considering how to best organize the platform team, we are still loyal supporters of the concept of team topology. We believe that the platform engineering product team is a standard method and an important enabler of high-performance IT. Cloud sandbox (experimental) As cloud services become more and more common, and creating cloud sandboxes becomes easier and can be applied on a large scale, our team is therefore more inclined to use a completely cloud-based (relatively local) development environment. Reduce maintenance complexity. We found that the tools used to simulate cloud-native services locally limited developers’ confidence in the build and test cycle, so we focused on standardized cloud sandboxes instead of running cloud-native components on development machines. This approach can better enforce the application of infrastructure as code practices, and provide developers with a good adaptation process in the sandbox environment. Of course, this shift is also risky, because it assumes that developers will be completely dependent on the availability of the cloud environment and may slow down the speed at which developers can get feedback. We strongly recommend that you adopt some lean governance practices to manage the standardization of these sandbox environments, especially in terms of security, access control, and regional deployment. Homomorphic encryption (evaluation) Complete homomorphic encryption (Homomorphic encryption) refers to a type of encryption method that allows direct calculation operations (such as search and arithmetic operations) on encrypted data. At the same time, the calculated result still exists in encrypted form, and can be decrypted and displayed later. Although the homomorphic encryption problem was raised as early as 1978, the solution did not appear until 2009. With the improvement of computer computing power and the emergence of easy-to-use open source libraries such as SEAL, Lattigo, HElib and partial homomorphic encryption in Python, the application of homomorphic encryption in real-world applications has truly become feasible. Those exciting application scenarios include privacy protection when outsourcing computing to an untrusted third party, such as computing encrypted data in the cloud, or enabling a third party to aggregate the intermediate results of homomorphic encrypted federal machine learning . In addition, most homomorphic encryption schemes are considered safe for quantum computers, and efforts to standardize homomorphic encryption are also underway. Although homomorphic encryption currently has many limitations in terms of performance and supported computing types, it is still a technology worthy of our attention. Sentry (adopted) Sentry has become the default option for many teams. Sentry provides some convenient functions, such as error grouping and using appropriate parameters to define error filtering rules, which can greatly help deal with a large number of errors from end-user devices. By integrating Sentry into the continuous delivery pipeline, you can upload source code mapping files to debug errors more efficiently, and it is easy to trace which version of the software produced these errors. We appreciate that although Sentry is a SaaS product, its source code is public, so it can be used for free in some smaller use cases and self-hosting. imgcook (evaluation) imgcook is a software as a service product under Alibaba. It can generate front-end code from different types of visual drafts (Sketch/PSD/static pictures) with one click through intelligent technology. imgcook can generate static code. If you define a domain-specific language, it can also generate data binding module code. The technology has not yet reached the perfect level. Designers need to refer to certain specifications to improve the accuracy of code generation (hereafter The adjustment of the developer is still needed). We have always been very cautious about magic code generation, because in the long run, the generated code is usually difficult to maintain, and imgcook is no exception. But if you limit it to a specific context, such as a one-time event advertising page, this technique is worth a try. AWS CodePipeline (suspended) Based on the experience of multiple ThoughtWorks teams, we recommend that you use AWS CodePipeline with caution. Specifically, we found that once the team’s needs go beyond the scope of a simple pipeline, this tool becomes difficult to use. Although the first time you use AWS, it seems like you won a “quick victory”, but we suggest you take a step back and evaluate whether AWS CodePipeline can meet your long-term needs, such as the fan-out and fan-in of the pipeline, or more complicated Deployment, and test scenarios with special dependencies and trigger conditions. Snowflake (experimental) Since Snowflake was mentioned on the radar last time, we have gained more experience in its use and data mesh as an alternative to data warehouses and data lakes. Snowflake continues to impress people in terms of time travel, zero-copy cloning, data sharing and its application market. Snowflake has not appeared in any place that we dislike, so our consultants prefer to use it compared to other options. Amazon’s data warehouse product Redshift is moving in the direction of separating storage and computing, and this has always been Snowflake’s strengths. If you use the Spectrum feature in the Redshift product for data analysis, you will feel that it is not so convenient and flexible, partly because it is constrained by Postgres (although we also like to use Postgres). Federated queries may be the reason for using Redshift. In terms of operation, Snowflake’s operation will be simpler. Although BigQuery is another option and very easy to operate, Snowflake is a better choice in a multi-cloud scenario. We have successfully used Snowflake on GCP, AWS and Azure. Feature Store (evaluation) Feature Store is a data platform for machine learning, which can solve some of the key problems we currently encounter in feature engineering. It provides three basic functions: (1) Use managed data pipelines to eliminate conflicts between new data and data pipelines; (2) Catalog and store feature data to promote the discoverability of features across models And synergy; (3) Continuously provide characteristic data during model training and interference. Since Uber disclosed the Michelangelo platform, many organizations and start-ups have established their own signature libraries; such as Hopsworks, Feast, and Tecton. We see the potential of Feature Store and recommend careful evaluation. Self-developed infrastructure as code (IaC) products (suspended) Those products supported by the company or the community (at least in the industry) are constantly evolving. But sometimes organizations tend to build frameworks or abstractions on top of existing external products to meet very specific needs within the organization, and believe that this adaptation will have more benefits than their existing external products. We found that some organizations tried to create self-developed infrastructure as code (IaC) products based on existing external products. They underestimated the amount of work required to continuously evolve these self-developed solutions based on their needs. Soon they will realize that the original version of the external product on which it is based is much better than their own product. In some cases, the abstraction built on the external product even weakens the original function of the external product. Although we have witnessed some successful cases of organizing self-developed products, we still recommend that this approach be carefully considered. Because this will bring a workload that cannot be ignored, and a long-term product vision needs to be established in order to achieve the desired results. Combine (adopted) We moved ReactiveX (a series of reactive programming open source frameworks) a few years ago to the “adoption” ring of the technology radar. In 2017, we mentioned RxSwift, which can apply reactive programming to Swift-based iOS development. Since then, Apple has launched its own reactive programming framework in the form of Combine. For apps that only support iOS 13 and later, Combine has become the default choice. It is easier to learn than RxSwift and integrates well with SwiftUI. If you want to convert an existing project framework from RxSwift to Combine, or use both in a project, you can learn about RxCombine. Kotlin Flow (experimental) The introduction of Kotlin coroutines opened a door to Kotlin’s innovation-Kotlin Flow, which is directly integrated into the coroutine library, is one of them. Kotlin Flow is an implementation of responsive flow based on coroutines. Unlike RxJava, stream is a Kotlin native API, similar to the familiar sequence API, including map and filter methods. Like sequences, streams are “cold”, which means that the values ​​of the sequence are constructed only when needed. All these features make the writing of multi-threaded code easier and easier to understand than other methods. It is foreseeable that converting a stream into a list through the toList method will become a common pattern in testing. River (evaluation) The core of many machine learning methods is to create a model from a set of training data. Once the model is created, it can be used repeatedly. However, the world is not static, and usually models need to change with the emergence of new data. Simply retraining the model can be very slow and expensive. Incremental learning solves this problem, it makes it possible to learn incrementally from the data stream, thereby reacting to changes more quickly. As an added benefit, computing and memory requirements are lower and predictable. We have accumulated good experience in the implementation based on the River framework, but so far, we need to add verification after the model is updated, sometimes manually.

Suspected of kidney disease, how to self-examination

Take the sitting or side lying position, place the left palm flat on the kidney area (the corner of the costal ridge), and tap the back of the left hand with a light to medium force with the right hand half-clenched. In nephritis, pyelonephritis, kidney stones, peri-nephritis and renal tuberculosis, the kidney area often has varying degrees of percussive pain.

Misunderstandings about kidney disease

As long as I don’t feel sick, I can completely skip the examination and treatment.

Tips: Even if there are no symptoms, you should pay attention to any abnormal indicators, and consult the hospital in time and review them regularly.

After getting kidney disease, the diet should be adjusted reasonably

1. Limit protein intake: It is not advisable to eat too much protein-containing food. Adults’ daily protein intake should be controlled within 0.8-1.0g per kilogram of body weight. Various protein foods should be controlled reasonably. Contains soy products such as meat, eggs, milk, tofu, tofu skin, and soy milk. Eating protein foods should be based on high-quality protein; high-quality protein foods include milk, eggs, fish, lean meat, etc. Protein diet includes: eggs, quail eggs. Milk: milk, skimmed milk, low-fat milk, yogurt. Seafood food: shrimp, crab, sashimi.

1. Rich vitamins: Fresh fruits and vegetables are alkaline foods, which are beneficial to the recovery of the kidneys while supplying multiple vitamins.

   Special attention should be paid here: to control protein food but not to include patients with nephrotic syndrome.

   

   Diabetic nephropathy diet

   Appropriately reduce protein intake. Dietary fiber can delay the absorption of sugar in food, keep stool smooth and reduce hunger. Therefore, you can choose more foods rich in dietary fiber, such as vegetable stems and leaves, whole grains, oats, buckwheat, etc.

   

   The importance of mood care

   Kidney disease is mostly a lifelong therapeutic disease. Although renal failure is the ultimate development direction of all chronic kidney disease, not all patients with kidney disease will eventually develop uremia. The patient takes it seriously and actively treats it to eliminate or control all risk factors that cause renal damage.

State Vice President Vo Thi Anh Xuan spoke at the meeting.

On April 16, the delegation of the State President’s Office led by Vice President Vo Thi Anh Xuan, member of the Central Committee of the Party came to An Giang to meet key officials of the province.

At the meeting, Vice President Vo Thi Anh Xuan expressed his deep gratitude to Uncle Ton and his father’s generations for pouring blood and blood to build the homeland, the An Giang Party Committee added wealth and strength. Vice President Vo Thi Anh Xuan highly appreciated the term of Party Committee of An Giang province in recent years. With the unanimous determination of the Provincial Party Committee and the people, An Giang’s economy prospered and created some premise for the next development. That is economic growth, from indicators, indicators and competitiveness shown on the means of objective assessment of organizations, businesses and people, most recently the projects. attracting large investors ..

Vice President Vo Thi Anh Xuan said that the image of An Giang’s economic development was sharper, attracting investors. In addition, the quality of life of the people has been improved, not only in terms of economy, but also in terms of infrastructure, transportation, and urban areas. Social security work has become An Giang’s beauty in joining hands unanimously helping households encountering landslides.

In addition, the Provincial Party Committee continued to promote the solidarity tradition of many generations. In particular, this term is more unanimous in performing political tasks, unanimous in economic development, calling for investment promotion, implementing social security, preventing and combating Covid-19 epidemic …

The scene of the meeting.

Besides, An Giang still has limitations such as not overcoming economic bottlenecks, not making big breakthroughs like other provinces. Despite many progress, the economic development ground of An Giang compared to the region is only average and lower than the national average. Therefore, An Giang must strive twice as much to be able to travel with the whole country and rise above.

Vice President Vo Thi Anh Xuan gave three goals An Giang Party Committee had to strive for. Specifically, with economic development, the quality of life of people is also improved. The cultural life, spirit and peace of the people should be focused. Due to its specificity, An Giang does not have high growth and development as fast as other provinces with advantages, but the provincial Party Committee may set a target for the happiness of the people. Third, the Provincial Party Committee is cleaner and stronger, promoting good traditions and pride, to be able to lead the people in the new period.

Before that, on April 15, Vice President Vo Thi Anh Xuan led to offer incense to commemorate Uncle Ton at President Ton Duc Thang memorial area in My Hoa Hung commune, Long Xuyen city, An Giang; visiting and giving 20 gifts to policy families in My Hoa Hung commune; Visiting and giving gifts to Vietnamese heroic mother Ta Thi Bai, 91 years old, living in Vinh Nguon ward, Chau Doc city.

The State Vice President graciously visited, encouraged and sent his best wishes to the Mother and relatives, expressing his deep gratitude to the Mother for the dedication and sacrifice of blood and blood to her relatives for independence and freedom. of the Fatherland, homeland construction, development of the country.

Access road for people with disabilities at the Provincial Museum.

Since 2002, the Ministry of Construction has issued a set of technical regulations and standards to ensure that people with disabilities can access and use them. In 2014, the Ministry of Construction issued Circular 21/2014 / TT-BXD, dated December 29, 2014, issued together with the national technical regulation on “Building construction to ensure access to use by people with disabilities” (QCVN 10 : 2014 / BXD). This regulation specifies technical requirements that must be complied with when building new or renovating constructions to ensure that people with disabilities have access to and use them.

In addition, Decision 1019 / QD-TTg dated August 5, 2012 of the Prime Minister on the project to support people with disabilities for the period 2012-2020 sets the target that by the end of 2020, 100% of the works will be the headquarters of the institution. government officials; station, bus station, pier; medical examination and treatment establishments; educational institutions, vocational training, cultural works, sport and physical training; The apartment building ensures accessibility for people with disabilities. Also according to the above decision, social service works will have to design additional items to ensure that people with disabilities can access and use.

However, according to the survey results, the survey of the Provincial Sponsoring Association for People with Disabilities and Orphans (PWD & TMC), the number of public works in the area with items accessible to people with disabilities is still very limited.

In 2020, the Provincial Sponsoring Association for People with Disabilities and TMC will conduct a survey at 40/177 communal units; 6/13 units at district level and 21 projects at provincial level in Ha Long city. For the commune level, surveyed at 281 schemes, only 21 schemes have access roads for people with disabilities (accounting for 7.4%). Of the 53 projects built after 2012 (the year the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 1019 / QD-TTg approving the project to help people with disabilities access social welfare works), only 11 projects have access road for people with disabilities (accounting for 20.7%). In particular, of the 40 surveyed commune-level offices, only 7 offices have access roads for people with disabilities; 1/121 village cultural house has access roads for people with disabilities (accounting for 0.08%).

At district level, in the survey of 78 schemes in 6 districts, towns and cities, only 19 schemes have access roads for people with disabilities. Out of 22 projects built after 2012, only 13 have access roads for people with disabilities. Out of the 6 district level units surveyed, all 6 offices do not have access roads for people with disabilities. All offices of the Justice Department, the General Education Center, and the Sports Center of the 6 surveyed district-level units do not have access roads for people with disabilities.

At the provincial level, surveyed in 21 schemes, only 13 schemes had access roads for people with disabilities. Out of 11 projects built after 2012, 10 have access roads serving people with disabilities. Only one building is the headquarters of the Provincial Employment and Service Center (Cao Xanh ward) with no access roads for people with disabilities.

This shows that the units that design, inspect and approve the construction of the works do not pay attention to adding access roads for people with disabilities according to regulations.

Sharing with us, Mr. Tran Manh Ha, residing in group 8, Trao Ha area, Duc Chinh ward, Dong Trieu town, said: “For people with severe mobility impairment, they have to sit in a wheelchair like us, going very difficult again. Every time you go and do, you must ask a loved one or a healthy person to help you. I myself also want to have conditions to access public services and integrate with the community, but the difficulties in not having access make me feel inconvenient, even more shrinking because of fear of disturbing others. . I really hope that units and agencies are interested in building additional public works to ensure that people with disabilities can access and use them conveniently. Currently, the new construction of the Head Office of the Ward People’s Committee has access roads for people with disabilities, and some old public works do not have access roads for people with disabilities, and are expected to soon be supplemented by units and agencies ”.

According to Mr. Lanh The Vinh, Chairman of the Provincial Sponsoring Association for People with Disabilities and TMC, the access road for people with disabilities is one of the important approaches that people with disabilities are currently facing. Although there are clear regulations and regulations in legal documents, through investigation and surveys in many public works, this item seems to be “forgotten”. After the Investigation and Review Association has submitted a report to the Provincial People’s Committee to propose and propose solutions to help people with disabilities have conditions to access public works and integrate into the community.

According to statistics, the province currently has a total of 20,767 PWDs, of which more than 4,000 people with special severe disabilities have to travel by wheelchair.

In order to enhance the responsibilities of agencies and units in implementing access roads for people with disabilities at public works, on November 20, 2020, the Provincial People’s Committee issued a document 7948 / UBND-XD4 requesting departments, Departments, branches, units and local People’s Committees, based on their functions and tasks, actively guide, inspect and supervise the implementation of national technical regulations and regulations on construction to ensure that PWDs can receive access to Approach to use in new design or renovation of construction works according to prescribed regulations and standards.

For specialized construction works management departments, economic zones management boards, localities and district-level professional offices organize the appraisal, grant of construction permits, and take over the works to be put into use. Construction works must ensure access requirements for people with disabilities; strengthen inspection, control and handle violations, ensure full implementation of policies to help NKY access and use construction works.

The province also requires project investors to organize the implementation of the QCVN 10: 2014 / BXD regulations on construction works right from the design task, technical design construction; it is imperative that contractors, when participating in bidding, must fully express the technical regulations specified in Section 2 of the QCVN 10: 2014 / BXD Regulation; It is not accepted for contractors who do not satisfy all design documents but do not fully show the technical regulations specified in Section 2 of the QCVN 10: 2014 / BXD Regulation. For the construction management and use units, proactively review and have plans to repair and renovate the works, ensuring the requirements for PWDs to access and use according to QCVN 10: 2014 / BXD and other relevant standards and regulations.
