			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been recently very interested in what can bussiness do to make employees (like me:D) feel passionate about the work we do. We spent almost half of hour lives working, so I think it&#8217;s quite important feeling passion in our job, finding a meaning on it and avoiding the boredom with lot of creativity and autonomy.</p>
<p>Here I leave you with the article &#8221;<a href="http://blogs.hbr.org/schwartz/2011/09/the-twelve-attributes-of-a-tru.html?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+harvardbusiness+%28HBR.org%29">The Twelve Attributes of a Truly Great Place to work</a>&#8221; by Tony Schwartz, president and CEO of the Energy project.</p>

<p>As <a href="http://www.analyticbridge.com/profile/VincentGranville">Vincent Granville</a> from AnalyticBridge remarked, one of the next step and challenge to go further with bussiness analytics is to integrate all the inside data with the massive bunch of &#8220;outside&#8221; data to develop more complex and acurate models.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve just discovered this incredible web page:</p>
<p><a href="http://datamarket.com/">http://datamarket.com/</a></p>
<p>The idea of this icelandic starup it&#8217;s simple: they try to satisfy the current needs of information centralizing in one place data from many different sources. They present the data as time series and tables. They provide information from 14,000 data sets and have collected more then 100 million time series! Just as an example, have you ever asked if it&#8217;s true that in New Zeland they have more sheeps than humans?</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="humans vs. sheeps" src="http://datamarket.com/site_media/skin/datamarket/img/assets/featured-sheep.thumb220x150.png" alt="" width="190" height="150" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s surprising that I&#8217;ve been so much time not knowing of its existence. It&#8217;s even more surpring the way it can look for the data you request and how can combine lots of different fonts to give you a great bunch of time series. The level of detail is also remarkable. For example, <a href="http://datamarket.com/data/set/192k/table-apple-trees-since-2002-area-in-hectares#display=line&amp;ds=192k|njr=19.3.2b:njs=2:njt=2:nju=43">here</a> we can observe the evolution of the apple trees since 2002 (in hectares) for the Golden and Fuji variety. In this case, the engine has also found 2 values for the input selection.</p>
<p>If this was not enough, they have develop an extremely quite simple system to integrate this glorious data-base into R for instance access to all their time series. With the new package rdatamarket, it&#8217;s trivially easy to import those time series into <a href="http://www.revolutionanalytics.com/what-is-open-source-r/" target="_self">R</a> for charting, analysis, or anything. Here&#8217;s what you need to do:</p>
<ol>
<li>Register an account on <a href="http://datamarket.com/" target="_self">DataMarket.com</a> (it&#8217;s free)</li>
<li>Install the rdatamarket package in R withinstall.packages(&#8220;rdatamarket&#8221;)</li>
<li>Browse DataMarket.com for a time series of interest (I found this series on <a href="http://datamarket.com/data/set/1ki8/persons-unemployed-15-weeks-or-longer-as-a-percent-of-the-civilian-labor-force#ds=1ki8" target="_self">unemployment</a>)</li>
<li>Copy the URL of the page you&#8217;re on (the short URL works too, I used &#8220;http://data.is/qb61uf&#8221;)</li>
<li>Use the dmseries function with the URL to extract the time series as a zoo object.</li>
</ol>
<div>Hope you enjoy it!</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>L&#8217;altre dia un amic meu es volia canviar de mòbil i ens va preguntar quin terminal agafar. Ja portava temps fent-me una idea del que jo creia que era el món dels mòbils i aprofito aquest post per compartir-ho amb qui pugui resultar-li útil.</p>
<p>Lo primer que s&#8217;ha d&#8217;entendre és la diferència entre Android (de Google) i iPhone (de Apple). L&#8217;Android és un sistema operatiu mentre que iPhone és terminal i sistema operatiu. Què vol dir aquesta flipadeta? És exactament el mateix que passa amb els ordinadors: dir que vols un apple, saps que només podràs comprar ordenadors de la marca apple, mentre que si volem un &#8220;windows&#8221; tenim molts ordinadors diferents a elegir, marques, models i prestacions.</p>
<p>Un cop explicat això,</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>iPhone</strong>: tenen una experiència d&#8217;usuari sublim, que us he de dir! Segurament no és pot disfrutar tant tocant un mòbil com amb un iPhone i ja se sap l&#8217;art que té Apple en fer que tots els seus productes faci goig de veure&#8217;ls. <strong>Tot funciona a la perfecció</strong>, no és solen penjar i tot el funcionament és molt intuitiu. Com van ser els primers,  són els que tenen el major nombre d&#8217;aplicacions disponibles (veure el gràfic adjunt). Què tenen de dolent aquestes bestietes? Doncs per mi algunes&#8230;En primer lloc, tot lo d&#8217;apple és molt bo, però també <strong>és fa pagar</strong>. Això no va únicament per el mòbil en sí (que ja és l&#8217;opció més cara) sinó per què les aplicacions també solen ser molt més de pagament que gratuites i els complements del mòbil també els solen cobrar bastant car. També cal dir que la integració és sempre més que perfecta entre aparells Apple, però si tens ordinadors normals o surts del seu cercle, les coses ja no funcionen tan bé.</li>
<li><strong>Android</strong>: com qualsevol producte de Google, els seus punts forts són que fan tot el que busques i més i a part sempre a <strong>preus molt assequibles</strong>. El sistema operatiu no és tan maco, però evoluciona molt més ràpid que iPhone i és nota que està molt ben pensat. No cal dir que si ets dels que usa productes de Google, la<strong> integració amb ells va de perles</strong>. Malgrat no té tantes aplicacions, cada cop creix més ràpid per la política més lliure de Google de deixar més aplicacions entrar a la seva app-store. Té moltes més aplicacions gratuïtes. Per altra banda, també té algunes contrapartides aquesta política. Com no fan ells el terminal (hardware) la integració a vegades falla i <strong>es penja el mòbil</strong>. No totes les aplicacions funcionen com haurien de funcionar per aquesta mateixa culpa. Remarco que això és un problema del fabricant del terminal (Motorola, Samsung, Sonny ericsson) més que del propi Android. Per això al comprar un terminal Android s&#8217;ha de tenir molt en compte el fabricant del mòbil i investigar sobre com de bé sol funcionar. també, com si d&#8217;un ordinador és tractés, tenir en compte les prestacions del mòbil (microprocessador, memòria,&#8230;)<img class="alignnone" src="http://s3.alt1040.com/files/2011/04/distimo1.png" alt="" width="620" height="492" /></li>
<li><strong>Blackberry</strong>: ha triomfat molt degut a lo còmode que era el teclat en pantalla (en contra del que pensaven molts fabricants!) i per cert efecte víric de marketing també curiós d&#8217;analitzar. Crec però que és un sistema operatiu que està destinat a desapareixer.</li>
<li><strong>Windows phone</strong>: fa relativament poc, Nokia (terminal) i Microsoft (sistema operatiu) s&#8217;han aliat per també fer la competència als anteriors. Personalment en desconec bastant els resultats que estan aconseguint, però crec que el mercat ja està molt agafat pels dos grans i se&#8217;m fa difícil creure coneixent Microsoft que puguin fer-se-hi un forat.</li>
</ul>
<div>Finalment la meva tria personal ha anat per Android. Crec que és molt bona la seva relació qualitat preu i comparteixo la filosofia a grosso modo de que tot el sistema sigui molt obert i lliure. Això crida l&#8217;atenció de molts entusiastes que desenvolupen grans aplicacions a molt bon preu i alimenta un cercle viciòs per mi molt positiu.</div>
<div>Espero que us hagi resultat fruitalment útil.</div>
<ul>
<li>Altres: destinats a la desaparició&#8230;.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have no doubt. <a href="http://www.makerbot.com/">This</a> is going to be one successfull future bussiness. Just take a look at their presentation video, it&#8217;s quit unbelievable. Can you just imagine the grat amount of doors that this new industry of 3d-printing can open? Is it possible than in 10 years time all of us have one of those in our homes, and downloading all kind of objects directly from the net?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently <a href="https://www.midwestiso.org/Pages/Home.aspx">Midwest ISO</a>, together with <a href="http://www.aimms.com/">Paragon decision technology,</a> won <a href="http://www.informs.org/About-INFORMS/News-Room/Press-Releases/Edelman-Fact-Sheet-Midwest-ISO">the Edelman award</a> for their achievements in handling the complexity of the production and transportation of electric power.  To imagine where is the complexity of such a job, just say that they are the responsible for the daily delivery of energy in 14 US states and another one in Canada. They have to manage over a 1.000 power plants and nearly 60.000 miles of high voltage transportation lines to deliver electric power to 40 million end user customers! So just try to make a mental picture of such a graph&#8230; If this was not enough, add to this problem the fact that the energy demand is a time dependent resource witch varies in many ways along weeks, month and years. Their job has been to made this puzzle as much efficient as possible, trying to satisfy demand and not waste energy in all the nodes of the graph.  It has been estimated that Midwest realized a cumulative saving from 2007 through 2010 of at least $2.1 billion!!</p>
<p>After such <a href="http://john-poppelaars.blogspot.com/2011/08/complexity-defied.html">complexity</a> and good results, it&#8217;s understandable that if they had done a good job, they diserve such a distinction of the OR world.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://encefalus.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/complexity.gif" alt="" width="700" height="700" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s incredible to watch comlex system and locate in them points where they can be optimized. The electrical supplyoing graph is just an extreme example, but everywhere there are lots of other systems that can also be optimized. Many of them work as &#8220;old manners&#8221; and nodes insist in doing evrything by their own instead of analyzing the problem as a hole.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Extra super mega interesting!  Let me apologise for this explosion of enthusiasm but I&#8217;m very happy with this new and great anouncement of the Stanford University.</p>
<p>They are going to make an experiment about distributed education with 3 free courses on <a href="http://www.ai-class.com/">Artificial Intelligence</a>, <a href="http://ml-class.org/">Machine Learning</a>, and <a href="http://db-class.org/">Databases</a>. They are online classes and will start on October 12 and end on December 16. As the teachers happily describe their courses will be much more like the ones we are used to: online videos, top questions live, practices and homework and even exams! They are completely organised and you can check the syllabus of the courses as well.</p>
<p>I love this stuff! But apart from the fact that I really like this topics and I think we all can take great advantage of it, let us take a moment to think on the iniciative in itself. Distributed education all around the globe. Share, I think the future of the world is going to towards a new philosophy of sharing culture. This is just another step in this direction. And what a big step!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;NO hi passis per aquí, que et faràs mal!&#8221;, &#8220;NO en treuràs res d&#8217;intentar-ho, molts altres ja ho han provat i mai ha sortit bè&#8230;&#8221;, &#8220;NO t&#8217;hi matis, per que no et servirà de res&#8221;, &#8220;NO et compliquis la vida, que la cagaràs.&#8221;, i  així 111546435 més.</p>
<p>Sempre que volem fer alguna cosa diferent ens topem amb mil i un NO&#8217;s d&#8217;amics, parents, professors, consellers,&#8230;. Sovint solen ser molt justificats i gens menyspreables. Jo no en deixo passa cap per alt. Però crec que és molt important tenir certa fermesa en el que un creu. Tots els consells són sempre molt benvinguts i ajuden molt, però no t&#8217;apartis del camí per què tothom pensi diferent. Si tots ens haguéssim apartat, potser encara pensaríem que la Terra es plana.Com a mi m&#8217;agrada molt la montanya, us ficaré una situació en la que em vaig trobar l&#8217;altre dia que em va fer pensar en el que us explico.</p>
<p>Fa poc vam anar fer un petit cim del Pirineu. En el punt de fer o no un pas complicat, un excursionista ens va aconsellar que no ho fessim, que no en podríem sortir. Que era una cresta molt aèria i que pendríem mal. Evidentment, en aquell moment, ens va entrar la por. Jo ja havia fet algunes crestes i, malgrat ser el punt on més disfruto d&#8217;una ascensió (poques vegades sento tan real i viu tot el que toco, veig o trepotjo com estan en un pas aèri), en aquell moment vaig posar en dubte tot el que sabia i vaig començar a pensar lo complicat que potser era on m&#8217;estava ficant. El meu cap, quasi com una maquina perfectament preparada per aquesta finalitat, va començar a generar-me un munt de situacions adverses i calabroses en les que em podria arribar a a trobar si no feia cas del consell d&#8217;aquell bon muntanyenc, malgrat saber que la cresta era assequible pel meu nivell.</p>
<p>Però ep! Parem el carro! Ho hem de tirar tot per terra per una opinió? No és tracta de fer temeritats i imprudències, sino de confiar amb lo que un coneix, amb lo que un és. S&#8217;han de prendre precaucions i fer les coses en calma. Tampoc es tracta d&#8217;engegar l&#8217;altre perillós motor contrari de voler-ho fer únicament per demostrar (davant d&#8217;un mateix o dels altres) que un n&#8217;és capaç. Però un cop clar, deixem-nos experimentar, provar, veure, mirar, tocar, continuar. I si ha d&#8217;arrivar, ja vindrà un punt en el que la muntanya ens digui prou.</p>
<p>Fiquem les coses en dubte. Siguem crítics amb el que veiem, sentim, ens diuen o ens ensenyen. Som persones i pensem, sentim. Donem-nos el plaer d&#8217;experimentar, de conèixer, de caure si cal (en sentit figurat, en el cas de la muntanya quasi millor que no si és vol arribar a casa i escriure-ho en un blog). Deixem-nos ser com els nens petits, us heu fixat amb quins ulls miren tot el que els envolta? Sembla que res els espanti!</p>
<p>I per no avorrir-vos més, us deixo un vídeo que m&#8217;agrada molt d&#8217;un discurs motl bonic que va fer fa uns anys l&#8217;Steve Jobs:</p>
