答:面对地震,BI能做什么?

http://blog.bicubes.com/funyaya/201

作者 funyaya in 喝杯茶聊聊天 - 14 五月, 2008


毫无疑问,2008年是天灾横祸之年,雪灾、手足口病、地震...都折磨着我们广大的中国同胞。截至目前,地震灾害还没结束,强烈的余震随时会发生。我一直怀着沉痛的心情,关注地震灾区的事态发展。现在最新得到的消息是,超过12000人因地震遇难,18600人被掩埋;汶川映秀镇12000人,目前幸存3000余人...

我是搞BI的,天天对着数字都已经麻木了。但当我注意到,上面的数据的计量单位是“人命”,我每个细胞都颤动了!今天是地震的第二天,网上流传着灾区的照片,其中不乏尸横遍野的镜头。我想看,但不敢看...这都是人命啊!为何他们躺在那儿,为何他们满身伤痕,为何我只能看着灾区的受灾数字成几何级的上升,却什么都不能做。我为什么是个BIer,而不是医生、不是军人、不是专业抢险人员...

面对这样的天灾,BI能做什么?有人可以告诉我吗?



答:作为经历过灾难的人,我问过这个问题,资深专家的答案是:先做你可以做的,不要轻易做可以改变你生活轨迹的决定

除非你的决策确实可以带来明显好的影响。(我的补充)


非常明智的忠告。

今天,才过了20天,我想,你对自己能做什么,应该有了更多的感悟

BIer,做好本职工作,还有,做好社会人,替自己,替弱势群体,争取应有的权利,建设更公正的环境

还可以,开发更好的(应付突发事件)决策支持系统,可以看看IBM捐赠的救灾软件(不是BI)

所谓“陪审团”

看这位兄弟的blog,才发现,把jury(随机抽取的人民审判团)这个词翻译成“陪审团”的人,实在是太居心叵测了。。如此无力的一个词,给人一种陪审团就是类似旁听,顶多是监督或者泥菩萨之类的角色的感觉。。

其实陪审团才是听取双方意见,最后决定判决的人..

翻译者实在是助纣为虐。

印尼雅加达要被洪水淹没?

前两天,说到美国没脑明星,我还提到印尼,觉得能解释为什么有人会这么幸灾乐祸。。

今天看报纸,这就应验了。。

说真的,华人早点撤出来,然后淹了算了,就当某神发怒用水惩罚

apital of 9m at risk from flood threat
Thursday, May 29, 2008
Floods in city last year One of the world's most populous capitals is on the brink of being swept away by a huge tide.

Jakarta – a city of 8.8million people – faces the catastrophe as naturally occurring tide cycles in Indonesia are made far more destructive by human activity.

The dire warning yesterday came from the World Bank.

'This is just the beginning,' said Hongjoo Hahm, the bank's infrastructure expert, as he pointed to homes reaching 1.5km inland that look likely be affected on Tuesday and Wednesday by the 18-year semi-annual tide cycle.

'It's getting worse and worse.' The situation – exasperated by global warming and the fact that Jakarta is sinking up to 6cm (2in) a year – could mean flooding will exceed last November's roof-high levels in the hardest-hit areas.

Indonesia, a sprawling archipelago nation, is one of the world's largest contributors of carbon dioxide emissions, thanks to the rapid pace of deforestation.

But experts say the country is also at risk of becoming one of the biggest victims of climate change.

Rising sea waters especially pose a threat to coastal cities such as Jakarta, which has sunk at least 2m over 30 years because of ground water extraction.

Eventually, the government should consider building a Dutch-style dyke to protect Jakarta Bay, Mr Hahm said.

One reason for the high 18-year tide cycles was the combination of the Moon's gravitational pull and an anomaly in sea level caused by Earth's own atmospheric pressure, he added

新的消费者保护法,星相从业者必须申明“算命只是娱乐”,

乱推销给老人东西(过激推销),假的消费者证言,假的“倒闭清货”,超期的减价广告,明知存货不足而低价广告吸引(诱饵)

都属于犯罪,将被严打,可以处5000磅以内罚款,并处2年徒刑

The fortune-tellers, at least, must have seen it coming. The biggest overhaul of consumer laws for 40 years takes effect on Monday, tightening controls on everything from door-to-door salesmen to children’s advertising.

Fortune-tellers and astrologists will be bracketed with double-glazing salesman under the new Consumer Protection Regulations. The changes, which implement an EU directive on unfair commercial practices, require businesses for the first time to act fairly towards consumers and will outlaw diresputable trading activities.

Fortune-tellers will have to tell customers that what they offer is “for entertainment only” and not “experimentally proven”. This means that a fortune-teller who sets up a tent at a funfair will have to put up a disclaimer on a board outside.

Similar disclaimers will need to be posted on the websites of faith healers, spiritualists or mediums where appropriate, as well as on invoices and at the top of any printed terms and conditions.

Andy Millmore, a partner at the law firm Harbottle & Lewis in London, said: “What is significant is the sweeping nature of the regulations. They will effectively criminalise actions that might in the past have escaped legal censure, even if they may perhaps have been covered by industry voluntary codes.

“Personalised services may also come under scrutiny. A tarot pack reader, for instance, cannot just pick one of several templates – it would have to be a proper reading designed for that person.”

Claims to secure good fortune, contact the dead or heal through the laying-on of hands are all services that will also have to carry disclaimers, other lawyers say. “You could argue that this is no different from promises given by the Church of Eternal Life, which people pay for, in the sense that they feel obliged to give to the collection,” one said. “It’s no more proven.”

Mr Millmore said that the changes created a lower test for prosecution. “Before, a prosecution had to show that there was a false or misleading trade description. Now the test is, is it an unfair commercial trade practice? So we are likely to see more prosecutions,” he said.

The new test would also take account of the context of the sale, he said. If the target were an elderly or vulnerable person, the courts would take a harsher view. “If my aged grandmother lets in a double-glazing seller, and he presses her to make a sale, that would probably constitute an ‘aggressive practice’ and be criminalised.”

The rules state that anyone offering a service must not engage in unfair commercial practice, misleading statement or omission or aggressive sales practice. This would criminalise practices such as “closing down” sales that aren’t, limited time offers that then last longer and false testimonials left on websites.

Those who break the new laws, which will be enforced by the Office of Fair Trading or trading standards officers, will face fines of up to £5,000 if their case is heard in a magistrates’ courts or a fine and up to two years in jail if the case is severe enough to be heard in the Crown Court.

The new regulations also include a blacklist of 31 activities, which include claiming falsely to have signed up to an approved code of conduct; advertising a product at a cheap price, knowing there is insufficient stock to meet demand, so-called bait advertising; making customers think that they cannot leave without signing; and suggesting in children’s advertising that not buying a product would leave a child disadvantaged.

The Spiritualist Workers’ Association attacked the changes, saying on its website: “We do not believe we are conducting a scientific experiment. To have to stand up and say so is a denial of our beliefs. It is also sending out a message that we do not believe what we are saying and doing.”

Lyn Guest de Swarte, a clairvoyant, said: “It’s like trying to regulate God.”

Mr Millmore’s view is that fortune-tellers will not be the main target. “The double-glazing sellers who go for elderly ladies – it’s in those areas that people would expect the new laws to bite,” he said.

On the cards

“Living your life in accordance with our predictions could damage your health”

Fortune tellers
“Customers crossing my palm with silver do so at their own risk”

Mediums

Psychic healers
“Close your eyes and breathe deeply – but don’t part with your money just yet”

数据收购业务

今天谈话时突然说道,比如和各个外卖店的接线员收集信息(什么地区的人喜欢点什么菜,等等),然后作为一项咨询业务,加工后卖给想开餐馆的人。


这其实就是一种数据收购业务,而不是市场调查。可以当面收购,也可以网络收购(如何保证有效性,衡量质量,估价收购,则是一些需要先期解决的问题)

这就好比让

又一天看到lp在记学车时间和费用,笑言可以公布到网上,又想到,还可以收几十分的阅读费,肯定有读者买帐,特别是如果能加点实用省钱窍门,或者笑料的话。

意外再次见到我误投进邮筒的工资单

那天朝红色邮筒投信的时候,把我的工资单误投进去了。。当时就存有一丝幻想,会不会还能看见。因为上面有单位信息等

今天居然收到一封信,哈哈,真是工资单。

终于对红色小邮局有点敬意。。自从他们丢了我寄的Ipod而且抵赖不想赔之后。。

论地震如何拯救黑户儿童。。

中国农村很多被计划生育政策弄得无法见天日的“超生”儿童,也就是黑孩子们,这辈子无时无刻都因为没有户口而无法上学,甚至人身权利(被强奸的黑户幼女)被侵犯。

问题:“超生”儿童是不是人?

他们作为人的基本权利需要不要得到法律保障?

他们作为中国公民的后代,出生在中国,是不是中国公民?

中国公民需不需要某种身份识别(特别是在户口歧视政策下)?


从这个角度讲,地震未必不是好事。。如果深受户口困扰的小孩能前往灾区周边,申明自己是从地震区徒步出来的,父母名字等因为惊吓可能已经记不清了(如果能找到记住当然更好)。。从小父母训练自己讲普通话或老家话(所以可能不是当地口音)。。

那么含冤被埋的小孩子们和成人们(深受黑户问题困扰的成年人也可试试,自己名字都忘了也不要紧),想必在天之灵也会欣慰的。。。

为何下水道盖子圆?

1。容易立起来滚走
2。第一个人设计为圆

一个蛋糕被狗啃以后,如何一刀均分为2?
剖开

17分钟过桥问题
4个人夜间过河,A过河需要1分钟,B过河需要2分钟,C过河需要5分钟,D过河需要10分钟。(道具:手电一把),一次可以带2个人过河,2个人过河的时间只消耗过河时间最长的,但必须有1个人回来送手电。在17分钟内让4个人都过河


A and B -> 2 mins
<- A 1 min
C and D -> 10 mins
<- B 2 mins
A and B -> 2 mins
