Which is most promising as a career- Azure or AWS?
The Cloud requirement is growing fast, so any certification will benefit for any future career path.Though, I would say AWS Certification is on high demand if you want to start your career in cloud and gets a hands-on experience.AWS has captured more than 33% Cloud Market share alone. Microsoft is on 2nd place with just 12% Market share. But combining big three gaints Microsoft, Google and IBM are not even close to 30% cloud market share. This may change in future, so both Microsoft Azure and AWS certification will be on high demand for coming years.The competition will be between AWS and Azure for services, availability and features on cloud.Find more about the Cloud Competition;Future is all about Cloud and Cloud warIn case planning for AWS certification, pls find below good link to preparation.7 Steps to clear the AWS Certification
How would the entry of Michael Bloomberg affect the Presidential election?
Michael Bloomberg would likely take more of the Democratic votes. There is a bit more to it though.No one has ever been elected to the Presidency while running as a independent, so why is Michael Bloomberg rumored to be considering it? Right now the frontrunners, Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, of the GOP lean far to the right (very conservative). Bernie Sanders of the Democratic Party leans far to the left (very liberal). If Trump (or Cruz) and Sanders are nominated, that leaves a nice big gap of undecided or moderate voters in the middle. Trump being Trump will scare away some of those more moderate voters, and Bernie being Bernie will likely do the same. So it is a bit of a lose-lose for both sides.Bloomberg though, leans a bit more to the left on some of his views. A few examples:Supports same-sex marriageIs pro-choiceBelieves in climate changeSupports gun controlImmigrants should be given citizenshipWhile Bloomberg will likely get many of his votes from moderates and undecided voters, his left leaning stances may cause voters who would have originally voted for the Democratic nominee to give Bloomberg a second glance and possibly their vote. So in the end, Bernie Sanders may lose a more votes than Trump or Cruz.What about Hilary Clinton? Micheal Bloomberg has made no official announcement as of writing this, and is only rumored to be testing the waters. If Hilary Clinton wins, Bloomberg likely will not run as his views and Clinton's would be too close together. Along with that, she is far to well known already. In any case, this election will be an interesting one to watch unfold.
What is excellence?
Excellence is a talent or quality which is unusually good and so surpasses ordinary standards. It is also used as a standard of performance as measured e.g. through economic indicators.Excellence is a continuously moving target that can be pursued through actions of integrity, being frontrunner in terms of products / services provided that are reliable and safe for the intended users, meeting all obligations and continually learning and improving in all spheres to pursue the moving target.In modern public relations and marketing, "excellence" is a much overused buzzword that tries to convey a good impression often without imparting any concrete information .
Which company will fall first: Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, or Microsoft?
The first could be either Google or Facebook.Google and Facebook are extremely reliant on data and control a sizable chunk of our personal data. And they both are incredibly valuable without which many of us cannot imagine our lives. Their survival would be in threat precisely because they deal with an extremely important resource.Given the importance of the data and how governments are elected/toppled with it, there will be increasing regulations in the next few years. The data is too important for its power to be ignored by the corridors of power. Think of what happened to them in China. What if other governments also treat them that way?A few decades ago people could not imagine the world without AT&T. They controlled all the communication in the USA. Their technology was so valuable and their hold on the market so big, that they were eventually broken up into baby bells. AT&T never regained its pole position in technology.That could happen to Google or Facebook. At some point regulations could come out to make the data a shared resource that all companies could use. And increasing regulations on how this data is used.They might not go completely out of business, but might not be in the same pole position as they do today.Compared to Google and Facebook, what Microsoft and Apple produces are fairly less important to the society. You can easily live without an iPhone or Azure. Thus, there will be lesser regulatory pressure on them.That said, Apple being in the fashion business will find it hard to keep making devices that people like. Two or three bad models in a row could put Apple out of the market [the company itself might survive with the cash and reinvent to do something else]. This is what happened to Nokia - they dominated the phone market and then disappeared from the market.Microsoft is a tough nut to crack. It survived the US government trying hard to break it. It survives the great firewall of China - something other US companies have not been able to. It survived a concrete attack by almost everyone else in the tech business. It survived Steve Ballmer. It creates something important, but not too important.That said, Amazon might be the hardest to dislodge as theirs involve building a large logistics chain that is going to be needed for a long time.My bet is:Facebook < Google < Apple < Microsoft < Amazon
Which is the best IISER among all the IISERs?
NO ! You just can't ask like that !This sounds more like :Which subject is best among Physics,Chemistry,Maths and Biology ?Which is the best color among the seven in the rainbow? (not specifically implying the 7 IISER-s)Which is the best country in Asia ?I’m sorry the comparison and superlative degree is very cliched basis of comparison and totally subjected to personal grounds.You can’t just compare Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research institutes like that.IISER Mohali has a really good climate and food (as per my friends there ) was set up recently in 2007. IISER Bhopal also is centrally located in the country , set up in 2008 along with IISER-TVM.IISER PUNE and IISER-Kolkata are the oldest (set up about the same time in 2006) and thereby they are even not comparable. They have equally best facilitated research laboratories . (IISERP is a completely constructed campus and IISERK campus is shifting to a new zone) but they’re equivalent in terms of facilities and standards of living is TOP notch compared to most residential colleges in the country.IISER-TPT ,IISER-Berhampur are relatively new campuses with temporary campuses but the education and laboratory facilities for the coursework is excellent and my friends are more than satisfied with everything .IISER’s are relatively new, set up with the motive to encourage research based undergrad education along with NISER,UM-DAE CBS and IISc and they are NOT comparable as each IISER functions independently in terms of coursework, Faculties are best as per IISER system is concerned (I hate to discriminate any IISER based on which subject is taught best at any IISER ) and the living conditions are more than well for a new hostel dweller.SCIENCE is Taught BEST at IISER. Stop Comparing. Start Studying for getting IN.And be glad if you got INTO the IISER SYSTEM. (only 1125 people make it from the entire nation ,comparing to the 30,000 approx who get into IITs+NITs).
