I often have to carry multiple pull-up banners when I travel for work, so I usually tape them together into one item. I was frustrated that the @VirginAustralia agent (at the Priority desk!) in Brisbane today implied that I was “cheating” the system. 😕
@VirginAustralia It is still under weight, and it can be handled as a single item. She suggested next time I put them into a single large bag. So… I just have to hide the tape. 🤷♀️
Bye Brisbane! Heading to Sydney, cramped but happy. ❤️👋 https://t.co/IbwAMVHoJP https://t.co/v1jmeV3CDN

Travel is stressful. So grateful to all the #yow17 speakers for their understanding and camaraderie as we grapple with logistics of moving 40+ folks all around this big country! ❤️
Today has not been my day re: customer service representatives. 😐
@quochuync @yow_conf @SBSOnDemand See you soon!

So excited to see this big crowd as #yow17 kicks off in MY town Sydney!! https://t.co/pZuTPV4yow
Learning about the work @CSIROnews is doing with @_Makeityours to identify the genetic causes of Motor Neuron Disease. A matrix of 1.7 TRILLION data points is a Big Data problem indeed! #yow17 https://t.co/IShmrwkrFA

When you’re working with very big data sets, you can’t rely on tables to view the results. You really need to create visualisations to explore the data. #yow17 @lynnlangit @allPowerde https://t.co/cEoYnMNRTk
When a test run of your ML algorithm costs ~$9K, optimisation becomes very important. 😳💸 #yow17 @lynnlangit @allPowerde https://t.co/v7um7B6qUs
GT-Scan2 is a “search engine for the human genome ” that uses serverless architecture to identify spots to EDIT OUT DISEASES. This is huge. #yow17 @lynnlangit @allPowerde https://t.co/zntfo4WkUh
It’s important to evaluate features and tools of cloud providers rather than blindly using everything new. In case of GT-Scan2, AWS step functions are more expensive and didn’t work as well did them. #yow17 @lynnlangit @allPowerde
Thrilled to have @taminap here to represent @indigitek and introduce our next speaker Ondrej from @facebook! #yow17 https://t.co/gtRBsxKLMN
@Malarkey @mobywhale @LucindaBurtt Say hi to @shvedma, who runs @GGDSydney and works there. 😉
Ondrej knows his audience. He’s showing an example of GraphQL using Game of Thrones. 😂 #yow17 https://t.co/QqvYD9GPt6
@leonardo_borges @yow_conf Me, of course! 👋
Okay, now example is distracting because I’m too busy trying to figure out how Shae counts as a bannerman to house Stark. 😂 #yow17 https://t.co/V5BXPRgaGN
@quochuync Ohhh, you’ll want to be sure to see @bethesque’s talk on that tomorrow! #yow17
Really cool to learn how @facebook’s architecture executes reactive LiveQueries so clients can be updated as data changes. #yow17 https://t.co/oHqrA08C1g
Because my friends and I will likely have a lot of overlap in our FB feeds, users are grouped into “buckets” which are the native unit for load balancing, etc. FB sends all of our queries to the same place for efficiency! #yow17
