EP102 — Antipatrones de OKRs con Cristhian Arias VenturoVamos a continuar nuestra conversación respecto a OKR, la cual hemos iniciado casi hace un año atrás con Cristhian Arias Venturo, en el EP76 de nuestro podcast.En este nuevo episodio nos enfocaremos en los antipatrones y malas prácticas de la aplicación de OKRs en organizaciones. Para ello, comenzamos apoyándonos en la comunidad, solicitando una lista de antipatrones vía RRSS, las que luego hemos analizado (y procesado incluso con ChatGPT), para comentarlos en esta tertulia y complementarlos con la experiencia de Cristhian Arias Venturo y las hormigas participantes.¿Qué te puedes llevar de este episodio?: Revisaremos los antipatrones y malas prácticas que fueron identificadas por la comunidad, los que se resumen en la ausencia de acompañamiento con KPIs, falta de movimiento en los Resultados Clave (KR), falta de línea base para medir el progreso, KR que describen actividades en lugar de resultados, falta de revisión periódica, KR impuestos por la alta dirección sin la participación de los equipos, entre otros.Hormigas del hormiguero en este episodio: Yohan Paez Maldonado, Jorge Abad, Antonio Gallardo Burgos, Rodrigo Burgos Noceti y Arturo Robles Maloof.Si deseas conocer más sobre este episodio y todos los demás, visita el sitio: HormigasAgilistas.CL¡Gracias por ser parte del Universo de Hormigas Agilistas!#HormigasAgilistas #QueVivaLaAgilidad #Agile #Podcast #OKR #Valor #Objetivos #KPI #AntiPatrones

CoreWeave's Brian Venturo (CTO) and Brannin McBee (CSO) return to On The Brink for a discussion of their journey through the merge and beyond. In this episode: Are they relieved that the merge finally happened? Will there be some form of non-Bitcoin PoW in the future? Could Ethereum conceivably return to PoW? The effect of PoS on ETH's censor resistance What quantity of ETH miners shifted to other PoW chains and what portion went elsewhere? What is the best use of capital for former ETH miners now? Did the merge really reduce global electricity consumption by 0.2%? Brannin's estimate for precise electricity reduction from the merge How feasible is it for former ETH miners to get into GPU clouds? How Core Weave built their cloud product What it takes to be competitive in the high performance computing sector Why the generalized providers of cloud can't just win when it comes to rendering and ML/AI Why the HPC market is exploding right now How open source communities behind text and image models contributed to the explosion in use cases The importance of Stable Diffusion versus Open AI The explosive growth of Stable Diffusion and Stability AI How the growth in infrastructure contributed to the emergence of these newer image models New directions in AI models like video creation Will generative AI be attacked by environmentalists? Can cloud data centers handle interruptible loads like Bitcoin miners can? How industrial compute will play a role in emerging metaverses Use cases Brannin and Brian are excited about Why hardware is actually a constraint to the number of metaverse users today Learn more about CoreWeave here.

En una nueva edición de la Entrevista Federal, el ministro de Transporte, Alexis Guerrera, dialogó con los periodistas de todo el país sobre el nuevo sistema de scoring, la importancia de reconectar localidades a través de la llegada del tren, la tarifa de colectivos en la Ciudad, entre más temas. El funcionario nacional difundió la importancia en la implementación del nuevo sistema de scoring que permite un descuento de puntajes en función de determinadas infracciones que realizan los conductores. Adelantó que se trabaja con la licencia federal y que la información estará disponible en todas las jurisdicciones. Por otro lado, remarcó la importancia que le brinda la gestión de Alberto Fernández a los trenes. “Nos parece el medio de transporte por excelencia”. En el marco del regreso del tren a Justo Daract (San Luis), declaró que la evaluación inicial es “positiva”. “Parte de las 45 localidades que reconectamos se hizo con una tarea de recuperación de material rodante que había sido abandonado por decisión de la gestión de Mauricio Macri”, reveló Guerrera. Por otra parte, el ministro de Transporte habló de las tarifas de los colectivos y las diferencias entre las provincias a raíz del pacto fiscal que firmaron los gobernadores y la Ciudad: “La ciudad más rica del país sigue estando inserta en el sistema de jurisdicción nacional. No se hace cargo de sus 34 líneas”. También reconfirmó que habrá un aumento del 40% que se implementará a partir del 1° de agosto. “Nada tiene que ver el aumento del boleto en el AMBA con lo que sucedió la semana pasada con respecto al planteo de las empresas”, señaló el funcionario quien destacó que el monto “no se subía desde el 2019 y era necesario actualizarlo”. “Tiene que ver con el Estado tiene que hacer sustentable el sistema y, además, sigue siendo un boleto accesible", sumó el ministro Guerrera. Por otra parte, el funcionario nacional aseguró que la ley de Alcohol Cero es “urgente y necesaria”. "Respecto a los datos de la prepandemia, hemos bajado de 15 a 10 las muertes por día en siniestros viales”, declaró. De la Entrevista Federal participaron: Alejandro Heredia, por San Luis; Diego Frisco, por Rosario; Luis Paterno, por Jujuy; Aldo Blanco, por Córdoba; Andrea Baldivieso, por Buenos Aires; Patricia Focarazzo, por Neuquén; Agustín Venturo, por Santiago del Estero; Adrián Moreno, por Viedma, Virginia Frache, por Bahía Blanca; Mauro Álvez, por Paso de los Libres; y Mónica Rojas, por Las Lomitas.

For extended show notes and a full transcript, see https:://tonyloyd.com/shamiri-institute Half of the young people in Kenya have elevated depression and anxiety. 45% of the disease burden comes from anxiety and depression. The Shamiri Institute has an answer. Kenya has been described as a young hustle culture. But that hustle takes a toll. According to Tom Osborn of the Shamiri Institute, “Mental health and wellbeing are really important. This is especially true in low-income settings like Kenya where I was born and raised. In Kenya, the median age is about 19. There's evidence that shows this young population is stressed because they have to succeed so early in life.” In Kenya, there is a massive wealth gap. The Gross National Income (GNI) per capita is around $1,750, while the number of millionaires in Kenya will grow by 80% over the next 10 years. Less than 0.1% of the population (8,300 people) own more wealth than the bottom 99.9%. This places pressure on young people to succeed or be left behind. “Most mental health outcomes are strongly connected with future career outcomes,” Tom explains. “We think mental health is important at this young age because it determines the life trajectories of many young people.” According to Katherine Venturo-Conerly of the Shamiri Institute, depression and anxiety make up 45% of the disease burden for young people in low-income countries. “Our research shows that approximately one in two youths has elevated depression and anxiety. Yet these young people go untreated because of a lack of caregivers. There is around one mental health provider for every one million Kenyans.” Tom Osborn explains that “societal stigma, government under-investment,” are partially to blame. But he also points out that “most existing treatments are long, costly, and not culturally appropriate.” And the answer is… The Shamiri Institute provides mental health interventions in a simple, stigma-free, scalable, and school-based group intervention. Services are delivered by young lay providers, ages 18-to-24. Shamiri trains the mental health lay providers and provides vetted tools. Randomized Controlled Trials of the Shamiri Institute's interventions show more than 35% reduction in both depression and anxiety lasting up to 7 months. The interventions also provided 14% improvements in social support and a 2.5% increase in academic grades. “Our approach lowers the cultural and systemic barriers that make mental healthcare inaccessible for Kenyan youths,” Katherine explains. “Instead of the typical psychopathology-centered approach to treatment, we use a simple, positively-focused intervention that emphasizes wellbeing, academic and social improvements. Our innovation is brief, accessible, and disseminated through a network of peers working in schools.” Learn More About Katherine Venturo-Conerly, Tom Osborn and Shamiri Institute: Shamiri Institute: https://www.shamiri.institute Shamiri Institute on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shamiri_institute Shamiri Institute on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ShamiriTeam Shamiri Institute on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ShamiriTeam Vuma Biofuels (formerly GreenChar): https://www.vumabiofuels.com Tom Osborn's interview, Episode 50: https://tonyloyd.com/podcast/050-tom-osborn-greenchar-social-entrepreneurship-comes-early More Resources: Social Entrepreneur Six-Week Quick Start: https://cultureshift.com Self-Assessment, Are you Thriving?: https://cultureshift.com/are-you-thriving Self-Assessment, Discover Your Values: https://cultureshift.com/values

The natural tendency will be to reduce staffing levels when we are allowed to go back to work. This is the first part of a four-part series that will share a proven better way to increase cash flow. If we are a $25M company with a gross margin of 36% like in the example above, our COGS is $16M. Keeping 76 days of inventory that means we have 3.3 inventory turns. 250 working days/76 days of inventory = 3.3 inventory turns. Since we have 3.3 inventory turns that means we carry about $16M/3.3 turns = $4,840,000 in inventory. If our direct labor cost is 14% of our COGS, our direct labor costs are $16M x .14 = $2,240,000. Since we are trying to save cash, let's look at the impact of reducing inventory or labor by 20%. Inventory = $4,800,000 X .2= $960,000 Labor = $2,240,000 x .2 = $448,000 Our savings are greater if we can eliminate the inventory investment by 20%. After eliminating that inventory, we now have 4.1 inventory turns. What would happen if we could get to 12 inventory turns? Our inventory investment would be $1.3M. Which is a savings of $3.5M over the original $4.8M inventory investment. For mid-market and SMB's this is a realistic target. How do you free up that cash without having continual shortages? One of the most effective ways is to implement pull systems in your business. Also called Kanban systems, these are fantastic for minimizing inventory investment and ensuring that you don't run out of parts to keep your business running. This blog is the first of a four-part series that will educate you on these powerful tools and how you can deploy them in your organization. In the meantime, here is an article from the Cincinnati Post in 1998 talking about this technique. I deployed it within a family-owned crane manufacturer, and it helped them successfully weather the 911 crisis. Here is the https://www.dropbox.com/s/kcehmr5dtnb30lz/Venturo%20kanban%20article.jpg?dl=0 (link). Next week, I will discuss how to get started using this powerful method!

So last week I brought up the important places to have a presence on the internet. Today I get nerdy about the most important one, Facebook. I talk about how to make the most of Facebook in a grass roots way. Let me know if you agree or disagree.I got together with Hunter Venturo and Nathan Reno, we talked about their band Woodshed. We got into their first two recordings and their plans for more. We talked about what it's like being a band in Arlington and the community that supports it. We also talk about some goals as a band. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.Featured music:"Trains' Comin'" by Woodshed off Hands In The Sky"Hands In The Sky" by Woodshed off Hands In The SkyLearn more here: https://www.woodshedband.com/You can find, subscribe, rate, and review the podcast on iTunes for iOS, Google Play Music, Stitcher Radio and Spreaker for Android.Become a Patreon partner to the podcast! https://www.patreon.com/thezim

Welcome to another edition of Crypto Basic News! Our editor is SO busy in quarantine that he forgot to post this episode so you're getting it with a few days of delay. We still love him though. He may or may not be the one writing this description. Anyway, today we're talking about shady senators dumping stocks after a private coronavirus briefing, Steemit developers forking into a new platform called Hive due to Justin Sun's shenanigans, and much more. Oh, and coronavirus. Surprise surprise. Tune in now!Rapid FireGlobal cryptocurrency wallet usage has tripled in the last three years.10 mill in 2016 to 40mil end of 2019.Devs Plot Launch of Telegram’s Blockchain Without Company’s InvolvementSo says the TON Community Foundation, a group of more than two dozen software developers and investors, who are now discussing possible ways to launch the Telegram Open Network (TON) without the messaging platform's participation.Coinbase Wallet integrates DeFi directly into app. Users will be able to borrow and lend crypto with interest thru the app now.Which US cities own the most crypto? Let's hear your guesses.Congress Bill Looks to create a digital dollar (B?)ANNNNND ITS GONEhttps://www.coindesk.com/digital-dollar-stripped-from-latest-us-coronavirus-relief-billFed Pledges asset purchases with no limits, Bitcoin and Gold Spike - KFederal Reserve said Monday it will launch a barrage of programs to help stimulate the economyUnlike previous crisis where there was a commitment to a set amount of balance sheet expansion, this time they are indicating no limitsThe Fed also will be moving for the first time into corporate bondsAlso a lending program for Main Street businesses ($300 Billion) to support flow of credit“The central bank is shifting from being not just the lender of last resort, but now it is the buyer of last resort. Don’t ask how much they will buy, this is truly QE infinity.”-Chris Rupkey, chief finacial economist at MUFG Union Bankwill lower the interest rate on its repo operations to 0% from 0.1%. (The operations are conducted daily to provide banks short-term funding)All this backed by Treasury department so Fed doesnt lose moneybitcoin jumped from $5,860 to $6,628 in an hour, Gold went from from $1,494 to $1,524 over the same time frame.Four US Senators caught dumping stocks after a private briefing on Corona Virus - BThere was a Senate Intelligence Committee briefing on the Corona Virus, and right after that meeting there were 4 Senators that immediately started to sell off positions.The names of the senators: Richard Burr, Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. , Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga. , James Inhofe, R-OklaRichard Burr even had a meeting with some fellow rich people (membership to join this group that he had the meeting with is $500, up to $10k) and said this "There's one thing that I can tell you about this: It is much more aggressive in its transmission than anything that we have seen in recent history," he said, according to a secret recording of the remarks obtained by NPR. "It is probably more akin to the 1918 pandemic."Burr's private comments were dire, his public comments made it sound like this was under control.So I saw a mention of one of the Senators being married to the Chairman of the NYSE. I was trying to remember where I heard that before. Kelly Loeffler! Holy shit she was the CEO that was in charge of BAKKT.Then, Karim remember this bitch wasn't even elected.Coronavirus crisis may highlight the overlap between the surveillance state and the cryptocurrency industry. - KIsraeli tech company NSO Group is working on new product to monitor spread of Corona, with nearly a dozen companies testing the productNSO, is best known for selling spyware to Saudi Arabia and other governmentsNSO Group’s surveillance technology has attracted widespread criticism for covertly accessing phones, activating cameras and collecting location data.NSO Groups to pranks seem to have significant ties to the crypto industryco-founders Omri Lavie and Shalev Hulio have invested in the bitcoin startup SimplexEddy Shalev (investor) has invested in the non-custodial wallet startup Portis, the exchange platform eToro and the privacy startup QEDIT.Coinbase famously sparked industrywide backlash in 2019it acquired Neutrino, founded by three former members of a controversial Italian surveillance vendor called Hacking Team.Coinbase said those people would transition out of the company, but no update and they refused to comment when asked.So just a reminder that cryptocurrency is just a tech, a tool, not innately a tool of liberation/freedom/etc, could be the opposite too, a tool of surveillance, or controlUpdate on some Justin Sun / Steemit Drama - BSo we talked about Justin trying to take over the Steem blockchain a few weeks ago. It looks like he was actually completely successful.Steemit developers quit because of the takeover.Justin has been hiding any posts on Steem critical of the new Steem ownership, and downvoting them as, well.The Steem community essentially capitulated, and forked into a new platform called Hive.Hive is going to be airdropped at 1:1 on Steem accounts.However, they bricked the Steemit Inc. coins to the tune of 60M, which is what Justin was able to get control of.They are proposing that anyone that switches to Hive and moves their coins loses their stake on Steemit lolol.Which is of course what Hive is doing.From Crypto Mining to Coronavirus Research - KCoreWeave is the largest U.S. miner on the Ethereum blockchain,redirecting the processing power of 6,000 specialized computer chips toward research to find a therapy for the coronavirus.GPUs will be pointed toward Stanford University's Folding@home program.Long standing, use donated processing power to simulate protein folds to try to cure different disieasesRecently announced specific project to boost coronavirus research"Their protein simulations attempt to find potential 'pockets' where existing [U.S. federal agency Food and Drug Administration (FDA)] approved drugs or other known compounds could help inhibit or treat the virus,"This addition has essentially double the power of the entire network, GPUs designed to handle repetitive calculationsAccording to Venturo, those 6,000 GPUs made up about 0.2 percent of Ethereum's total hashrate, earning roughly 28 ETH per day, worth about $3,600 at press time.Tulip.tools founder Johann Tanzer put out a call to action to Tezos bakers (miners) and offered a modest 15 XTZ ($20ish) to the leading contributor to Folding@home20 groups of Tezos miners are now contributing a slice of their hashing power to the cause. (and the pot grew to $600ish with other people donating as well)GPUs are flexible, but ASICs really cant participate. More powerful than GPUs, but only at one thing (so we probably wont see a lot of btc mining groups helping)FOLDING@HOME UPDATE ON SARS-COV-2Shots Fired!Wikipedia and Cardano having some issuesCharles Hoskinson, CEO of Cardano, is the latest figure in crypto to assert that Wikipedia is censoring his platform. He made a nearly 10 min video regarding the situation. Accusing Wikipedia to be a community-run free encyclopedia, hostile towards crypto.David Gerard, a crypto-hater and Wikipedia editor, says that Cardano is self promoting, and needs to be covered by the mainstream media, not the crypto press.Hoskinson said coins like Spankchain can have an article on Wikipedia. Spankchain does not have a Wikipedia page.Some Cardano members tried to include a blurb on Ourobouros, the algorithm that powers Cardano.Please join the conversation in the Discord.
