The document discusses how while circumstances change, certain principles of advertising remain constant. It notes how Herman Hupfeld wrote the famous song "As Time Goes By" with the line "The fundamental things apply / As times goes by". The document then lists numerous principles of advertising and human behavior that have remained the same, such as people still wanting to be entertained by advertising and brands needing to stand out to gain fame. It argues that despite changes on the surface, the underlying principles of what makes advertising effective do not change.

This document from Dentsu provides observations and recommendations for brands regarding marketing, media, and communications during the COVID-19 pandemic. It notes changes in consumer behavior like increased online shopping and digital media consumption. It recommends shifting investments to e-commerce and digital platforms, maintaining branding activities, and communicating empathy, safety measures, and offers of assistance rather than sales messages. Brands should consider free shipping, subscriptions or services to help people safely stay home.
The 2020 Edelman Trust Barometer found that trust in major societal institutions like government, business, NGOs and media remains stagnant, with no institution achieving majority trust. A growing sense of inequity and fears about the future are undermining people's belief that these institutions can effectively address challenges. Eighty-three percent of employees globally fear job loss due to various factors like automation and a lack of training. Over half of respondents feel they are losing respect and dignity in their country. Trust is much higher among the informed public than the mass population, resulting in record trust inequality in many markets.
The document is a survey conducted by Catalyst Solutions between March 15th and April 7th, 2019 that received responses from over 1,400 Romanian students and graduates. The survey aimed to understand preferences and salary expectations for internship, trainee, and graduate programs.
Key findings include:
- The majority of respondents were interested in internship programs, trainee programs, and management trainee programs in the next 12 months.
- Respondents were generally available year-round to start a program and preferred full-time programs.
- Students begin researching programs 1-2 months before their desired start date.
The survey provided insights into Romanian students' and graduates' views on various career development programs.

The economy in Romania grew more slowly in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. GDP growth was 4% year-over-year in Q1 2018, down from 6.7% in Q4 2017. The budget deficit also increased in Q1 2018 to 0.5% of GDP due to higher spending outpacing revenue growth. Inflation is expected to stabilize later in 2018 and end the year around 3.6% as the central bank has raised interest rates three times in 2018 to cool the economy. Lending to households remains strong while corporate lending has slowed with the moderating economy.
Framework for a Better Ads Experience ProgramIQads

The Coalition for Better Ads will launch a voluntary Better Ads Experience Program to promote adoption of advertising standards and improve the online ad experience. The program will certify companies that comply with standards and accredit technology providers that filter ads based on the standards. It will establish processes for determining non-compliance, resolving disputes, and removing certifications if issues are not addressed. The goal is to have an independent, multi-regional program that evolves over time based on data and market changes.

In this hands-on lab session, well dive deep into securing Kubernetes environments with Falco, the open-source standard for runtime threat detection. This workshop will guide attendees through the end-to-end process of setting up Kubernetes, installing Falco, and building custom detection rules to address evolving Linux threats. Youll learn how to craft rules tailored to your specific environment, enabling more precise detection of anomalous behaviour and potential threats. Additionally, well introduce Falco Talon, a powerful response engine that integrates seamlessly with Falco to mitigate threats in Kubernetes and the cloud. See how Falco Talon automates threat containment and response, minimising downtime and enhancing your cloud security posture. Whether youre a Kubernetes beginner or a seasoned user, this session will equip you with practical tools and techniques to detect and respond to threats effectively in your cloud-native environments.

stackconf 2025 | Zap the Flakes! Leveraging AI to Combat Flaky Tests with CAN...NETWAYS
油
Flakes aka tests that dont behave deterministically, i.e. they fail sometimes and pass sometimes, are an ever recurring problem in software development. This is especially the sad reality when running end-to-end tests where a lot of components are involved. There are various reasons why a test can be flaky, however the impact can be as fatal as CI being loaded beyond capacity causing overly long feedback cycles or even users losing trust in CI itself. Ideally CI maintainers want potential flakes to be flagged at the earliest stage of the development lifecycle, so that they do not even enter the end-to-end test suite. They want a gate that acts as a safeguard for developers, pointing out to them what kind of stability issues a test has. This reduces CI user frustration and improves trust in CI. At the same time it cuts down on unnecessary waste of CI system resources. This talk will explore the CANNIER approach, which aims to reduce the time cost of rerunning tests. The speaker and the audience will take a closer look at the feature set used to create training data from existing test code of the KubeVirt project, enabling CI systems to predict probable flakiness of a certain test with an AI model. The speaker will cover how a subset of the CANNIER feature set is implemented, how it is used to generate training data for an AI model, and how the model is used to analyze flakiness probability, generating actionable feedback for test authors. Attendees will gain insight on how the CANNIER approach can help them improve test reliability, ultimately enhancing overall software quality and team productivity.

stackconf 2025 | How NVMe over TCP runs PostgreSQL in Quicksilver mode! by Sa...NETWAYS
油
PostgreSQL as a SQL engine can accommodate a very high-transaction rate using multithreading very efficiently, but as your data grows and the number of connections and queries increases, there is a challenge for the storage to keep up with the SQL engine. To the rescue comes our hero Quicksilver, or the name in real life NVMe over TCP (NVMe/TCP). Developed by Lightbits Labs in 2016 and donated to the Linux community, it is the next evaluation of using NVMe based storage over TCP Fabric. NVMe/TCP simplifies how you interact with remote NVMe devices (targets) and allows your PostgreSQL storage to consume fast storage very easily and very efficiently. In this session I will explain the core concept of the NVMe/TCP protocol, current storage providers that can use it, how you can consume it in Kubernetes (super easy), and discuss the possibilities of using NVMe/TCP in private and public clouds. The session will also include performance numbers that were gathered on bare-metal servers on-prem and on AWS, using the latest PostgreSQL version and pgbench, showing the benefit of using multiple tablespaces when dealing with speed of light storage.
