What is better Android or iphone
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What is better Android or iphone ### Response:
The answer to whether Android or iphone (iOS) is better is really down to user preference. The Android operating system is more open and is used by multiple phone manufacturers catering to different tastes and price points. iOS is a more closed system only utilized by Apple, which tends to be more secure and efficient. However, this offers fewer choices of handsets for purchasers. Ultimately the choice between Android and iOS will come down to whether the purchaser is willing to pay the price of an iPhone or prefers the handsets offered on Android.

My daughter's friend is lactose intolerant. What foods should we avoid when we take out to eat with us?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: My daughter's friend is lactose intolerant. What foods should we avoid when we take out to eat with us? ### Response:
You'll want to look out for anything that contains milk, butter, cream, buttermilk, cheese, or ice cream. This means pizza is off the table (it almost always has cheese), and much Italian cuisine like lasagna or alfredo sauces must be avoided. You also need to be careful about fried foods, because batters often contain milk or buttermilk. Ask about the ingredients of bread, as these can contain butter: croissants typically do. Even salads can be a concern, because many restaurants will add cheese as a topping, even without listing cheese on the menu. Desserts are also problematic, because chocolate nearly always contains milk, as do most ice creams. Look for vegan products where you can, such as vegan cheeses and vegan ice cream, which can be delicious.

What are some tips for beating Destiny 2 bosses?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What are some tips for beating Destiny 2 bosses? ### Response:
I'm not a high level player, but I've found a couple of things helpful. 1. Don't let trash mobs accumulate by focusing all your attention on the boss. You can get quickly overwhelmed. 2. Take your time. I've found that I get a bit greedy and that can be punishing if I get caught away from cover. 3. Prioritize! Some mobs are more dangerous to others. Some boss fights can go from nearly impossible to almost manageable if you focus on culling certain mob types whenever they appear. 4. Switch weapons! Don't be afraid to switch to a heavy weapon for vehicle or larger enemies.

Explain in few words how traditional exploratory data analysis (in statistics) is different from machine learning?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Explain in few words how traditional exploratory data analysis (in statistics) is different from machine learning? ### Response:
An important general difference in the focus and purpose between machine learning and the traditional Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) is that machine learning is more oriented towards applications than explaining the basic nature of the underlying phenomena. Machine Learning is relatively less concerned with identifying the specific relations between the involved variables. For example, uncovering the nature of the underlying functions or the specific types of interactive, multivariate dependencies between variables are not the main goal of machine learning. Instead, the focus is on producing a solution that can generate useful predictions. Machine Learning accepts among others a "black box" type approach to data exploration or knowledge discovery and uses not only the traditional Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) techniques, but also such techniques as Neural Networks which can generate valid predictions but are not capable of identifying the specific nature of the interrelations between the variables on which the predictions are based.

What is contrafact?
Below is an instruction that describes a task, paired with an input that provides further context. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What is contrafact? ### Input: Parker's style of composition involved interpolation of original melodies over existing jazz forms and standards, a practice known as contrafact and still common in jazz today. Examples include "Ornithology" (which borrows the chord progression of jazz standard "How High the Moon" and is said to be co-written with trumpet player Little Benny Harris), and "Moose The Mooche" (one of many Parker compositions based on the chord progression of "I Got Rhythm"). The practice was not uncommon prior to bebop, but it became a signature of the movement as artists began to move away from arranging popular standards and toward composing their own material. Perhaps Parker's most well-known contrafact is "Koko," which is based on the chord changes of the popular bebop tune "Cherokee," written by Ray Noble.[45] ### Response:

Contrafact is a type of jazz composition where the composer takes the basic structure of a popular song, rearranges it and provides a new melody to the song. Charlie Parker was a jazz musician and composer who used this style of composition extensively. Some of the best known examples of Parker's use of contrafact are: "Ornithology"- Based on the popular song "How High the Moon" "Moose the Moose"- Based on the standard "I've Got Rhythm" "Koko"-Based on the swing standard "Cherokee"

How do I keep my plants alive?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: How do I keep my plants alive? ### Response:
To keep your plants alive you will first need to understand what type of nutrition and environment is best suited for them. For environment, some plants prefer full sun, whereas some prefer partial or full shade. There's also humidity and temperature to consider. For nutrition, determine what types or food and how much water to provide at what frequency. You can usually find this information by consulting plant expert resources online or at your local library. Once you understand the ideal climate and nutrition for your plant, adjust the climate to best suit it, while following the ideal schedule for feeding and watering. Also, once the plant outgrows the pot it is in, it's time to move it to a bigger pot. This should keep your plant happy and healthy.

Below is an instruction that describes a task, paired with an input that provides further context. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What makes Sachin Tendulkar so special? ### Input: Sachin Tendulkar is wonderful not because of his cricketing prowess; if that were the case, roughly the same degree of adoration would have been held for Rahul Dravid, who is also in the same league in terms of performance... 164 Tests, 13288 runs at 52.88 versus Sachin's 200 Tests, 15921 runs at 53.86 As you can see, there is nothing to select between the two. Of course, Sachin has a significant advantage in one-dayers: 39 vs 44 in averages. Yet not nearly enough to deserve Sachin's adoration. ### Response:

Of course, Sachin has a significant advantage in one-dayers: 39 vs 44 in averages. Yet not nearly enough to deserve Sachin's adoration. Sachin is great in my opinion mostly because of his age when he first entered the cricket scene; to perform what he did at the age of 16 is incredible. Consider yourself at 16...and then consider Imran, Waqar, and Wasim blasting into you at 16 in front of a partisan crowd, with all of India watching. Consider yourself as a 16-year-old fighting the arch-enemy Pakistan. Imagine yourself at the age of 16 being smashed on the body with a leather ball. Consider yourself at 16 years old, attempting to focus on the ball in front of a roaring crowd. That is what he did.... And a legend was born! His achievements from 16 - 22 are the stuff of legend; and that is his primary claim to greatness. Yes, there are other factors: his simplicity, his focus, his concentration, his determination, his longevity etc... but the primary one is the aspect listed above. But even that does not explain his sustained claim to greatness over the years, To this, we must add that he is a fighter who enjoys a good challenge. The manner he dealt with the top fast bowlers of the day, like as Allan Donald. And his famed war with Shane Warne... these battles, and more, when he faced the opposition, are unique to him; almost. And then there's the fact that he's believed to have the purest game with the widest range of shots... To watch him bat is to witness beauty in action, poetry in motion. There is no better sight than Sachin in full flow... And the icing on the cake? He has succeeded in all forms of the game. Try and find me 2 other players who have done that.

Who is the greatest college football quarterback of all time?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Who is the greatest college football quarterback of all time? ### Response:
Different people have different opinions when ranking college football players. Both individual and team metrics are considered when determining the best quarterback. Key individual metrics include individual passing metrics (such as passer rating, number of passing yards, and number of touchdowns thrown) and individual awards won (such as the Heisman trophy). Key team metrics include the team's win percentage with the individual as the starting quarterback and the number of conference and nation championships won. A quarterback that excels at passing the football and running the football is commonly referred to as a "dual threat" quarterback. Individual rushing statistics may also be considered when determining their rankings. Many people consider Sam Bradford, Matt Leinart, and Peyton Manning to be among the best pure passing quarterbacks in college football history. Many people consider Cam Newton, Vince Young, and Johnny Manziel to be among the best dual threat quarterbacks in college football history. Opinions vary, but many people consider Tim Tebow to be the greatest college football quarterback of all-time due to his individual accomplishments, his team's accomplishments and revolutionary offensive play style, and his popularity amongst fans and the sports media.

What would you consider when preparing a Dj set?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What would you consider when preparing a Dj set? ### Response:
There are many aspects to consider. Initially having an understanding of the audience and setting, can help in thinking about energy levels (BPMs), and duration. It is also helpful to plan the direction of the DJ set, ramping from slow BPMs to high ones, perhaps peaking mid-set or just a different series of peaks along the way. Track selection is key. Having a pre-defined list of potential tracks to play is a great idea. Another consideration is mixing in key or following a harmonic mixing style for a neat flow. All of the above require preparation and programming for a well-crafted DJ mix.

How do you get your pilot's license?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: How do you get your pilot's license? ### Response:
Learning to fly an airplane is a fun and rewarding endeavor. There are many different reasons that people decide to pursue getting their pilot's license including the challenge of learning a new skill, having the ability to travel by private plane for business or pleasure, sightseeing, or as a career option. The process of learning to fly and getting your license requires several steps and usually takes about a year to complete. The first step is to research local flight schools and potentially do a discovery flight with a flight instructor to see if you enjoy it before committing the time and money. Should you decide to pursue it, you'll need to find and go to an Aviation Medical Examiner to get checked-out and have a student pilot and medical certificate issued. Once you've completed that you can begin your training which will include both ground school and flight school. The next step is to purchase the necessary books, study sufficiently and prepare to take an FAA written exam. While you're studying, you'll begin your flight training which requires a minimum of 40 hours of flying, however most individuals end-up flying between 60 - 75 hours. When your instructor feels you're able to demonstrate mastery of all of the required skills and are able to make sound decisions, you'll be ready to take a practical exam with either an FAA examiner or a designated examiner. Upon successful completion of your test, you'll be issued your pilots license and be ready to take up passengers. On average, the cost to get your pilot's license ranges from $8,000 to $12,000. This may sound expensive, but it's worth it to have a skill that you can enjoy for a lifetime.

My husband and I are planning a ten-day trip to Italy in September, is this a good time to visit?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: My husband and I are planning a ten-day trip to Italy in September, is this a good time to visit? ### Response:
How exciting, September is a wonderful time to visit Italy! It is the final month of Summer in Italy when many local residents are returning to work or school which means that many of the more popular destinations will be much more accessible than if you were to visit during June, July or August. You may still find a number of tourists visiting through the first half of the month as the weather is milder than in the height of the summer. You will find plenty of beautiful sunny days so pack your shades and sunscreen and enjoy the many wonderful sights across the region. Note that within the northern areas of Italy, the weather does becomes progressively chillier in the evenings towards the end of the month so it's a good idea to pack a lightweight jacket to be sure you're protected from the elements during your visit. To you and your husband, buon viaggio!
What's the best part of having children?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What's the best part of having children? ### Response:
I am not sure if I can answer to what is the best, as I love many facets of having kids. I have three children and they are each 5 years apart. Each child has their own personality and traits however they all share their love of laughter, affection, dance, singing and all are clever. I love having a little hand in mine as we cross the street. Seeing my child's eyes light up when I am watching them do something they love brings more joy to my heart than I can explain. There is also no way to ever fully explain the feeling of love and happiness when I get a nice big hug, especially after a long day. I also learn a lot from having children like being more patient, curious, empathetic and when needed decisive and firm. There is not one thing I love best, but all the things!

What are some tricks to baking a really good cake?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What are some tricks to baking a really good cake? ### Response:
There are several things to consider when baking a cake. Paying particular attention to each will produce a consistent and delicious result. First, confirm that your oven temperature is correct. This is easily done with a meat thermometer. Place the thermometer in the middle of the center rack of the oven, where most food cooks. Then preheat the oven to a baking temperature (e.g. 350 degrees). After the oven has preheated, check the temperature on the thermometer and confirm that it also reads 350 degrees. Second, bring your refrigerated ingredients to room temperature before using. If your recipe calls for butter, do not microwave it as a shortcut. Doing so will change the consistency of your batter. Plan ahead and leave butter and eggs out on the counter for at least an hour before you begin baking. Third, pay close attention to recipe instructions related to sifting and measuring flour. "Two cups sifted flour" does not mean the same thing as "two cups flour, sifted." The first instruction means to sift the flour, then measure; whereas the second means measure first, then sift what was measured. In either scenario, do not scoop the measuring cup into the flour bin directly. This causes the flour to be tightly packed into the cup and will result in a cake that has the texture of a brick. Instead, use a spoon to lightly scoop flour from the bin into the measuring cup, leveling off the top with a butter knife. This method is messier, but will yield better results. Fourth, take the time to cream the butter and sugar well. The result should be smooth and lump free. This is the most important step to making an appealing cake, and again can't be expedited by using melted butter! Fifth, if your recipe calls for both wet ingredients (buttermilk, juice etc) and dry (flour mixture), alternate between the two in small increments rather than dumping them in sequentially. This small step will protect the texture of your cake. Sixth, once the cake batter has been poured into the pan, lift the pan and drop it onto the counter from a height of two to three inches. This will remove any air pockets that may have developed in the batter. Be careful not to bang the pan too hard, or you'll spill the batter and/or scare your pets out of the kitchen. And lastly, don't bake the cake for as long as the recipe suggests. Set the timer a few minutes early so that you don't over-bake due to any idiosyncrasy associated with your oven (referenced in step one). Please note this does not mean you should be opening and closing the oven door multiple times during the baking process. Good bakers know "if you're looking, it's not cooking," so try not to open the oven until your timer goes off. The only exception to this rule is if you smell something burning. Odds are this means the batter has spilled out over the pan and onto the bottom of the oven. if this happens, and the oven is now smoking, you have to open the door and try to remove the spill. If nothing is smoking, leave the mess until the cake is out and the oven has cooled. Back to the timer - When it goes off, quickly but carefully test the cake with several toothpicks in different areas while the cake remains in the oven. (Taking the cake in and out of the oven to test will change the temperature of both the oven and the cake). If the toothpicks are wet and sticky, the cake needs more time. If the toothpicks are clean (or a tad moist), the cake is ready to come out of the oven. Allow cake to cool on a rack, and then enjoy the fruits of your labor!

List down few details about CURE algorithm from given text
Below is an instruction that describes a task, paired with an input that provides further context. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: List down few details about CURE algorithm from given text ### Input: To avoid the problems with non-uniform sized or shaped clusters, CURE employs a hierarchical clustering algorithm that adopts a middle ground between the centroid based and all point extremes. In CURE, a constant number c of well scattered points of a cluster are chosen and they are shrunk towards the centroid of the cluster by a fraction α. The scattered points after shrinking are used as representatives of the cluster. The clusters with the closest pair of representatives are the clusters that are merged at each step of CURE's hierarchical clustering algorithm. This enables CURE to correctly identify the clusters and makes it less sensitive to outliers. ### Response:
To avoid the problems with non-uniform sized or shaped clusters, CURE employs a hierarchical clustering algorithm that adopts a middle ground between the centroid based and all point extremes. In CURE, a constant number c of well scattered points of a cluster are chosen and they are shrunk towards the centroid of the cluster by a fraction α. The scattered points after shrinking are used as representatives of the cluster. The clusters with the closest pair of representatives are the clusters that are merged at each step of CURE's hierarchical clustering algorithm. This enables CURE to correctly identify the clusters and makes it less sensitive to outliers.
1. CURE uses a hierarchical clustering method that selects a middle ground between the centroid based and all point extremes in order to avoid the issues with non-uniformly sized or formed clusters. 2. In CURE, a fixed number c of evenly spaced-out points from a cluster are selected, and they are shrunk by a fraction in the direction of the cluster centroid. 3. The scattered points that have shrunk are used as cluster representatives. 4. At each stage of the hierarchical clustering algorithm used by CURE, the clusters with the closest pair of representatives are the clusters that are combined. 5. This makes CURE less sensitive to outliers and allows it to appropriately detect the clusters.

In what ways can having children improve your quality of life?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: In what ways can having children improve your quality of life? ### Response:
This is my own opinion, and completely anecdotal, but having children can help improve your quality of life in several ways. Children can provide parents a sense of purpose. Parents are responsible for the well-being of their children, and this obligation in-turn forces parents to become less self-centered, and focus on something other than themselves. The relationships parents develop with their children is also unique to any other bond. They represent a piece of you, and are completely dependent on your for everything. That dependence, when coupled with the love they have for you, can give your life new meaning and joy.

How do you cook a Texas brisket?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: How do you cook a Texas brisket? ### Response:
Texas is know as the BBQ capital of the world, and Texas brisket leads the pack. For true Texas brisket all you need is salt, pepper, smoke and time! 1. Purchase a whole packer brisket with both the point and flat muscle included. Prime grade brisket is ideal as it will have more fat marbling, which means more flavor and juiciness. However, choice grade will work fine for most cooks. Plan on 1/2 lb per person. 2. Trim your brisket to remove and hard pieces of fat that will not render in the cooking process. I recommend leaving about 1/4 inch of fat on the point side, and trim off all fat off the flat. Note: the brisket trimming make great fat to mix into burgers! 3. Texas brisket is seasoned only with coarse salt and coarse black pepper. I prefer a 50/50 mix. There are MANY brisket rubs available if you are looking to spice up your brisket from the traditional Texas salt and pepper rub. 4. Use a good quality hardwood lump charcoal in your smoker. I use oak as a base wood with a little bit of hickory mixed in. You can use any smoker that can maintain a consistent temperature of 225-250 degrees. I prefer the Big Green Egg, but there are great smokers available from Weber, Traeger, CampChef and many more. 5. Smoke the brisket at 225 degrees until the internal temperature reaches 165-170 degrees. I then remove the brisket, wrap in butcher paper, and return to the smoker until the internal temperature reaches 202 degrees. 6. When the brisket reaches 202 degrees, remove from the smoker and REST. DO NOT SKIP THE REST. Resting the brisket allows those hot and bubbly juices to settle into the meat. I prefer resting my brisket in a cooler covered in towels for 2 hours, but can rest as long as 4 hours before serving. 7. When you are ready to serve, I separate the two pieces, flat and point.Slice the flat against the grain for maximum tenderness. Cube the point for burnt ends. 8. Serve and enjoy!

Give me an example of a business model with a mission statement.
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Give me an example of a business model with a mission statement. ### Response:
Mission Statement: Transform the transportation industry with improved customer experience, efficient operations, and reliable services with cost-effectiveness and minimal environmental impact. This will be a good mission statement for Uber as it represents the transportation industry as a whole in which Uber can make an impact. Also, we wanted to be clear about the firm’s north star, which is improved customer experience, efficient and reliable operations with low cost, and minimal environmental impact. Uber’s business model: Value proposition: Uber’s value prop is to offer transportation services via internet orderings from the customer. Customers order a transportation service via a mobile-enabled app and get instant or real-time updates about the order status. This significantly differs from the current taxi-cab model, where customers must hire a taxi-cab by waiting in line at the airport or taxi station. The existing taxi hire model has a poor experience for customers and comes with a high cost. Activities, resources, and capabilities: The critical activity for Uber in this business model is to connect the passengers and drivers on a demand basis concerning a location with a computer algorithm and deliver the service over a mobile app for both drivers and passengers. Uber needs computational resources and engineers to build the algorithm. Also, Uber needs to develop capabilities to attract drivers and passengers to its platform for each market, country, and city. Revenue model: In this model, Uber customers will pay per hire, which will include the transportation charge, driver’s labor fees, and the driver’s car maintenance, including fuel and running and maintenance expenses of the car, and a small commission for Uber that will be the revenue for the company. On average per ride, Uber expects to earn a 3% commission for basic taxi-hire service. Top-of-the-line services like Uber-X may earn up to 10% commission. Scope of the enterprise: This business model's primary customer segment is millennials with smartphones with internet-enabled services. This business model's horizontal scope can be vastly expanded to different products. Uber can start with a standard taxi-hire service, and for the luxury segment, it can offer Uber-X and Uber-SUV. Uber can also branch to adjacent industries like food delivery with Uber Eats and freight delivery with Uber Freight. The business’s sheer scope is to develop the in-house demand algorithm for connecting drivers and passengers. Uber does not intend to employ drivers. Instead, it will lease/contract the drivers on a per-ride basis and pay the contract cost to the drivers. In contrast, the computational and other IT infrastructure services will be leased/rented on services like Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure. This will enable Uber to be agile and move fast in various markets while protecting its intellectual property, the algorithm.

Legos are popular among kids. They simulate the mind and make them focus on the details. They help exercise fine motor skills and enhance the child's ability to think creatively. Legos also help facilitate group activities through collaborative thinking. They are very adaptable and available for all ages and skill levels. Said that legos do come with their fair set of challenges. To begin with the material is made of plastic which is not environment friendly. They are also very expensive and there is a lack of buy back or exchange programs. This makes legos inaccessible for several kids and increases the amount of plastic waste. In conclusion while legos are a good play medium we need to continue making them more accessible while reducing the amount of environment waste resulting from their production.

What are some disadvantages of the way the tax code treats incentive stock options?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What are some disadvantages of the way the tax code treats incentive stock options? ### Response:
There are three primary problems with the way the tax code treats incentive stock options. First, the tax code gives an employee a strong incentive to exercise the options early on, to achieve the tax benefit relating to the special option treatment. This means the tax code encourages young employees to write a check to their employer at a time when their entire financial life is likely to be dependent on that employer. This is the exact opposite of diversification, a key goal of personal financial management. The second issue is that the alternative minimum tax (AMT) is imposed at the time of exercise. This requires a potentially large cash outlay, at a time when the employee is unlikely to have sufficient liquidity to meet the burden. So not only does the employee have to pay his or her employer to cover the exercise premium, he or she has to send funds to the Internal Revenue Service as well. Finally, the requirement that an employee terminating employment must exercise within three months of termination date to preserve the tax advantage of the options encourages exercise at a time when the employee may not have sufficient funds, and may be looking at financial uncertainty if he or she does not yet have a new job lined up. The advantages of incentive stock options are significant, but they encourage the wrong behavior.

What is the 80/20 rule?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What is the 80/20 rule? ### Response:
The 80/20 rule can be applied in many contexts. Casually, it may refer to the observation that often 20% of the effort yields 80% of the benefit and the corollary that the last 20% of the benefit requires 80% of the effort. The 80/20 rule also describes a property that is empirically true of the frequency distribution of many sets, such as 20% of unique words accounting for 80% of words in a book or 20% of companies in a stock portfolio accounting for 80% of the return.
