           This blog is about the First Presidential debate in 2020. Between Donald Trump and Joe Biden for 90 mins and 6 topics on the table. Joe Biden is coming with 78% stats of winning the debate. These kind of stats proved wrong in 2016. My prediction was Trump will be like Bull in the China shop, will make Biden do at least few forced mistakes. But Biden controlled the debate decently and didnt commit major mistakes. It was interesting to watch the debate after Trump tax returns news from NewYork Times few days back. Chris Wallace from fox was the moderator of the debate.  Supreme Court Nominee: Donald Trump said he won the election and elections have consequences. She is outstanding student and nominee. Joe Biden said American people should have a say, so supreme court nominee should be selected later. Biden thinks Affordable care act might be impacted with this supreme court nominee. Trump started offensively. Biden started assertive, said he i...

This article is about the TikTok and future of social media. Is the TikTok deal going to be any threat to Facebook group ? Is TikTok going to shape up the social platforms dominance any differently than what it is currently? We will see in below article. Please note we won't discuss the internals of TikTok deal with Oracle/Walmart. Oracle has enough cash and strong desire to grow its cloud business. It can do anything to make Oracle cloud one of the top 3. This deal for Oracle more in terms of cloud and for Walmart it means more in terms of dominating advertisement platforms. TikTok is more or less like Vine. If you don't remember what it is, its short video social media. You can follow friends and celebrities and make your own videos. Vine was doing almost the same thing except it stuck to 6 seconds video for long time before making the duration longer. It came at a time may be people were not into visual. TikTok started getting popular in China around the same time Vine slowe...

This blog is about the impossible guy Richard Wright, you can visit him at  https://www.iamrichardwright.com/   He is three time stage 4 cancer survivor and Iron Man finisher.   The reason I am calling him impossible is because of two things. ONE you need to have tough state of mind and positivity to overcome terminal cancer that many times. TWO , Finishing Iron man is an extra ordinary thing for a healthy human being.  It is a triathlon event of completing 2.4 mile swim , 112 mile bicycle ride and 26.1 miles run. All in one day. So you will be working close to 17 hours on that day. This is couple of months exercise  for me in one day. DNA is NOT as important as DNS(Did not start) and DNF( did not finish). Succeeding from failure is learning from it. failing at failure is not learning from it. Preparation is the Key to anything. Nobody can be YOU, nobody replaces you, you just be you. You can't control competitors, external conditions, all you have control ...

Few quotes from Tipping point and winner takes it all books. Craig Shapiro: Very interesting thought for the all the entrepreneurs.  When people are in group, the responsibility for acting is diffused. Every person has inner and outer personality. Inner personality is the real one. Plutocrats: whose power comes from his wealth. If we want things to stay as they are, then things have to change. The only better thing than being fox is being fox asked to watch over hen. Philanthorcapitalists: Entrepreneurs like Bill Gates, who derived money from capitalism and using it on philanthropy in their later days. Entrepreneurs are problem solvers at heart, so they use their money on philanthropy much better than people who gained their wealth through generations. World continue to innovate and remain short on progress.  Everybody should be able to work wherever they want whenever they want not because they need to. For corporates its not enough to be in market they want to dominate it, i...

We all know chess improves critical thinking. In my personal experience it brings your logical ability before your emotional response, this is going to help you a lot with daily life. Apart from developing creativity and improving confidence, it works both sides of the brain. You are NOT preparing for competition and you are NOT planning on becoming grand master. Just by simply playing one game of chess every day either with computer or individuals, will help you a lot in decision making process. If you don't have time for a complete game you can try puzzles. If you register in chess.com, they have daily free puzzles you can solve. Just solve puzzles and play a game if you have time. They also have weekly free learning videos, if you are interested in improving the game. I slap my hand whenever I am not able to think beyond 2-3 moves. Sometimes I feel like "why you are not able to think about this simple thing". That will keep your brain challenged.  Lot of incidents in y...

When I say symmetric multi-cloud deployment strategy I mean you are deploying the same workload in two or more public cloud providers and on to your private data center at the same time with the same CICD. In this case life will always be easy, if you are dealing with IaaS or K8's clusters. PaaS may not be ideal as most of the time it will be purpose built platform. I am not even talking about SaaS. Why do you need symmetric multi-cloud model Bursting: Private data centers first and cloud to burst is the best use case for leveraging any public cloud vendor, that way still the keys to kingdom will be in your hand. Price negotiation: You can confidently negotiate the price with public cloud vendors and it doesn't  take lot of time to switch in worst case scenario. Do nothing cost: Lets say in case of situations like COVID you can quickly ramp down all the public cloud billing and stick to your private data centers. Imagine you are Uber and COVID hit your trends, if majority of yo...
