speed kills

First Asiana pilot Wi Tu Lo comes in 30 knots/hr too slow.
Now Spanish railroad driver drives 50mph too fast.

The train had been going as fast as 119 mph shortly before the derailment, and the driver activated the brakes "seconds before the crash," according to a Santiago de Compostela court statement Tuesday after the data recorders were examined. The speed limit on the section of track where the crash happened was 50 mph. The court said in its preliminary findings that no technical failure had been found so far.

Benign dogs and people

In contrast to dogs used by states for violence:

most dogs are wonderfully loyal only to their owner.  I love dogs.  I don't love dogs that are used for violence against people.  Bomb dogs are ok.  Attack dogs, no.

Also, although I recognize that various strains (of humans, dogs, etc) have different tendancies towards aggression, etc, I try to treat each individual neutrally a priori.

So I'm ok with some Hades Kerberos dog, if he's a good dog.  But without meeting him, my Bayesians tell me to watch him.

That's called rationality.  It may not be politically correct.  Too bad.

Fascist dogs

I should comment on my last post:

I've never heard of government or other tyrannical use of domestic felines.

OTOH,
how many races of dogs are used for state violence?

German shepards
Rottweilers
Dobermans
Pit bulls

If you can't walk with a loaded gun, how is it ok to walk with these?

I've seen a pair of muzzled dogs pull their owner to the ground yesterday.
I may have to carry something.  Maybe a stick, maybe more.  Coyotes too.

Be prepared.

Julian Assange loves cats

Someone once claimed Julian didn't like cats, drove one insane, stalked it, etc.

What BS.  Julian Assange is a cat.  A bipedal, articulate, polite, melanin-free cat.

Seriously.

He loves cats.  He knows how to relate to cats.  He would never harm a cat in any way, physically mentally emotionally or "spiritually" LOL.

I would leave my cat in his care (should he open the Assange Daycare for Felines).
(Should I ever need to be away for more than a day or two)

Liberty and cats just go together.  Fascism and dogs, well, history...

Within the Matrix, keys represent tokens of authentication used to gain access to abackdoor or control of a device. The authenticator is represented by the bitting on the key, as illustrated when Seraph uses one to reach a corridor filled with backdoors in The Matrix Reloaded.


The Keymaker is an old program^[6] and his past is obscure.^[7] Faced with deletion or exile, he chooses exile.^[8] Consequently he becomes a type of program known as the exile and is referred to as such by the agents.

 Kim says his character shouldn't have any freedom of choice, but he did make a choice by hiding along with the other exiles.^[3]

In July 2010 Jackson Lee said: "Today, we have two Vietnams, side by side, North and South, exchanging and working. We may not agree with all that North Vietnam is doing, but they are living in peace. I would look for a better human rights record for North Vietnam, but they are living side by side.”^[28] It was noted that Vietnam had not been split for four decades.

Alayban was arrested at her condominium on Gramercy in Irvine.

KABUL  - Three NATO soldiers and their Afghan interpreter were killed Tuesday when a suicide bomber riding a donkey detonated his explosives in eastern Afghanistan, an official said.

Four Afghan soldiers were wounded, said Ataullah Khogyani, the spokesman for the Wardak provincial government.

"The suicide bomber wearing farmer clothes and riding a donkey targeted the Afghan and coalition soldiers at 10:30 am (0600 GMT) in Sayedabad district, killing three NATO troops and their Afghan interpreter," he said.

quintal

Baku-APA. Algerian border guards managed to seize ten quintals of phosphate destined for bombs manufacture near the border with Tunisia, a security source told Xinhua Tuesday on condition of anonymity, APA reports quoting local media.

A unit of the border guard launched a wide night search operation in the desert region of Richa in the province of El Oued, 620 km southeast of Algiers, where a suspicious 4x4 vehicle was intercepted.

The source said the car passengers were running away, leaving behind the car and 10 quintals of phosphate, a substance used to make bombs and explosives.

http://en.apa.az/xeber_algeria_seizes_10_quintals_of_explosive__196662.html

WTF, confusing phosphate and nitrate.

WTF is a quintal? 

The quintal or centner, from Latin centenarius ("hundredlike"), is a historical unit of mass in many countries which is usually defined as 100 base units of either pounds or kilograms.

Patrick Johnson of Volusia County is ok with me

A Volusia County businessman is receiving death threats after he offered acquitted George Zimmerman a handgun, the same make and model used in the shooting of Trayvon Martin.

Patrick Johnson sent attorney Mark O'Mara a letter offering a free gun to Zimmerman.

Once the letter was leaked to the press, Johnson said the death threats started coming in.

Big company getting old

I have worked for and interviewed at a few "big companies getting old".  Typically they have complex, unmaintainable software.  Components that could be open and modern are proprietary.  Their are stifling organizational fiefdoms.  There are way too many managers between actual programmers and execs.  Accountants will hold up your purchase of tools you need today.  Project Managers cycle frequently.
STB customers pull you by the nose.  Documentation is nonexistent.   Hardware is scarce.



Me--JVE--AH--GW--AG--BG--CEO

past JVE its all managers who don't code.

Apparently and not surprisingly Extron also has this problem  ---and its also ~30 years old.

Can you spell "technological debt"?   I knew you could.  Though actually Extron seemed to have fewer levels than previous place.

The whole TV/ STB / Audio Visual market is going to implode, face it.

You can milk late-adopters only so long.

The tablet will defeat Remotes, FOSS video distribution will defeat Extron.  Mammals eat birds.

Fear the beard, Extron, Human Resources, diversity, cultural sensitivity

I just interviewed at Extron.  The managers and engineers were very friendly, intelligent, it was great
talking shop with them.

The subsequent HR interview was OK until the woman (had braces, wore pants too tight for an office, medium complexion) brought up my beard.

Its a cm.  Two of three engineers had beards.  Apparently a cm is a bit much for this narcissistic pinhead social whore.

So, I didn't get it.  But, I like my beard.  Had it for longer than this HR bimbo was alive.

Good thing there's no good jewish, sikh, muslim, or other engineers.
I'm sure the company will do fine, building out a linux capability ... with cretin staff like this.

Brigham Young

http://www.byu.edu/hr/?q=node/1041

All university male personnel are required to adhere to the Church educational System Honor Code and the BYU Dress and Grooming Standards which state that "Men are expected to be clean-shaven; beards are not acceptable."

Exceptions may be granted if an individual (1) has a documented medical condition which is exacerbated by shaving, (2) is performing in a theatrical event short-term, or (3) actively participates in an officially recognized religion which advocates the wearing of a beard as one of its religious tenets.

Faculty who fit one of these categories are required to obtain a beard waiver from the office of the Associate Academic Vice President--Faculty . Staff or administrative personnel may obtain the waiver by contacting Benefits Services. Anyone receiving a long-term beard waiver is required to update it every five years.

Full-time or part-time non-LDS faculty who are employed at BYU for one year or less may wear a beard, unless it is intended that they continue their employment with BYU for longer than one year. Since adjunct faculty, visiting scholars and cooperating professionals are not University employees, they are encouraged, but not required, to be clean shaven

These procedures apply to full-time faculty, full-time staff and administrative employees, part-time employees, temporary employees and to spouses and dependents who desire activity privileges

These are multiple-wives cultists who are also into young-girl marriange.  But don't wear a beard, for Allah's sake!

Fortunately most of us don't, and respond appropriately.  As George Zimmerman did.  Saving us all from more of Martin's violence.

Jeantel continues to convict Martin, and feeds the morbid freak show that is her "appearances" where she attempts to talk.

Can we get a Kickstarter to sterilize her?



Meanwhile, there are the beginnings of riots, er, "vandalism", stopping cars, attacking cars, etc.

And the Feds haven't even said yet that they have no case against George.  I figure that will be the catalyst.

he was just a kid and didn't know better

The first version of Linux was like a time machine. It went back to a system worse than what he already had on his desk. Of course, he was just a kid and didn't know better (although if he had paid better attention in class he should have), but producing a system that was fundamentally different from the base he started with seems pretty good proof that it was a redesign.

random tech digression

My view is that you want to avoid shared data structures as much as possible. Systems should be composed of smallish modules that completely hide their internal data structures from everyone else. They should have well-defined 'thin' interfaces that other modules can call to get work done. That's what object-oriented programming is all about--hiding information--not sharing it. I think that hiding information (a la Dave Parnas) is a good idea. It means you can change the data structures, algorithms, and design of any module at will without affecting system correctness, as long as you keep the interface unchanged. Every course on software engineering teaches this. In effect, Linus is saying the past 20 years of work on object-oriented programming is misguided. I don't buy that.


I have to agree with that.

What would Jefferson do? The islamists chased the americans out of lebanon etc during Reagan years. Still working on freeing the caliphate. They'll win. The crusades fail.

Hello, I just heard a recent radio news story reminding me of Chinese investments in .af and the archeological diggings that "should" go on before the historical copper site is mined. I'd like to suggest that China fund a massive, fast program to send "zillions" of archeologists there, and also employ many more *local* workers as diggers and sifters. The PR would be great and then you could get on with mining --the world clearly needs copper: its stolen from public places in the US because it has become so valuable, although Chinese demand is often cited as a reason for this, "lol". Demand is demand. Investment == capitalism but I'm just ribbing you there, I suppose. China could prevent destruction of some artifacts ---these are Buddhist objects in Afghanistan, which don't have a great longetivity. :-) That's why it occurs to me to write / rant. (Also, see below) The cost for these academics and diggers is trivial in the mining maths. This can help "ameliorate" China's supposed destruction of fish and mammals and villages by creating hydro dams, which I've read about. Though of course it doesn't really fix those problems, it just moves resources; very common in US. 'develop' one area, 'preserve' another in compensation. [note to us intel: no, I'm not a militant environmental dude]. But this is an aside. The point is: for cheap, you can study an old town then rip it up without too much hassle. However, China doesn't need to placate anyone. China is I think sympathetic to Buddhism. I'm sympathetic but/and an atheist. FWIW. I'm not going to be personally terribly upset if cultures are blown up, excavated, whatever. (LOL is that buddhism or apathy?) China has recently being contributing enormously to studying fossils, perhaps unearthed by growing excavation (same here in SoCal ---they find sloths and whalebones when they dig a highway). Recent Chinese bird fossils are greatly informative and amazing. So someone in China digs paleontology (get the pun, Translator-san? NSA-san?) I never thought I'd be reading about the colors of dinosaur's proto-wings from chinese fossils. But I do. In such a campaign (sending many many chinese and other archeologists to an ancient copper-town site before trashing it) you'd have to deal with spooks and justified spook-paranoia on all sides (incl. convincing locals that your folks aren't :-) but you can greatly build up your archeological national academics, esp. if you invite foreign scientists. I realize archeology is not on anyone's list of important national goals (its not actually that important to me personally) but I thought of this opportunity. A few glasses of wine allowed me to compose this nonsense. China likely has a 'neutral' purely economic "persona" which might facilitate what it does. "They will dig some old stuff, then mine the earth, and hire and pay us. Ok. They don't want more than that. Ok." You might do well to isolate your miners from the locals to keep the locals happy, a commercial version of the iraqi "green zone" castle concept. You don't want your folks to act like drunk off-duty US military in Japan, say. Or go Sgt Bales on the locals. But you know that. Ok, getting off track there. My point: do something *big* to preserve a culture (not even your own) then go full-on industrial mining it. And you build up a particular niche academic "industry" in the process. Hey, you can always use those young archeos as spooks when they visit other places. By super-funding a burst of research you can somewhat (rightly or wrongly) deflect later criticism about archeological or cultural "insensitivity". That doesn't really matter (being cynical here) but being perceived as "sensitive" might help future resource-extraction-expeditions. You don't even have to pretend to be a NGO. ... Mining is a good thing, better than farming for those who can: read "De Re Metallica". Most aren't so lucky, historically. ... I expect a reply from neither your Embassy nor the Supreme Postmaster I cc'd (gratuitously :-), but I do hope you enjoy this. My intent is to encourage archeology with China'$ abilitie$. Politically, copper is good, leave the afghans to the afghans. ... I realize these strategies may be somewhat obvious to all parties involved. The irony of China 'conquering' (as much as has been possible in the last few thousand years) .af via capitalism is staggering. Cheers

The Land Beyond the Land of the People

The frozen wastelands around ALERT see no twilight in the winter. Stankievech reports only “complete and utter midnight darkness, all the time.” The ALERT Signals Intelligence Station is so far round the top of the world, it is closer to Moscow than it is to Ottawa. Inuktitut, the Native American language of the Nunavut territory, describes the region as “Inuit Nunangata Ungata” which translates as “The Land Beyond the Land of the People.”

Ed Snowden McAfee Assange

Ed Snowden, McAfee, and Julian Assange have recently been seen hanging out in a pub in Antarctica enjoying penguin tapas. The Assange that appears at the embassy is a clever animatronic version. Much like Obama and many Senators. Wonder who programs them.

Listen up rubes

there's an app, written in java, which lets you see relations. Like, your daughter dated someone who's sister knew someone who knew someone who burned down some buildings. Ie, an "eco" aka "green" aka "hipster" terrorist. So, you're on the list. Nothing to fear if you've nothing to hide, right? The bright red point representing the arsonist diffuses out to all he knew, and all they knew, a few hops away. Its a pretty cool graph. Gotta record it in case we need it. Only terrorists (pharmaceutical vendors, kidvideographers, and I forget the fourth horseman) need worry. Why are you closing your blinds? What are you hiding? And golly, the four horsemen never guessed you were wiretapping them...

Obama transfers his Nobel Peace Prize to Edward Snowden

Here come the drones Thery're american drones Made in America. Smoking, or non-smoking? Here come the drones. So you better get ready. Ready to go. You can come as you are. But pay as you go paraphrasing Laurie Anderson Snowden. Assange. Manning. Ellsberg. Woah. Even J. Young. And ok, another gratuitous image

killing afghans for yucks vs. wikileaks

Sgt Bales is getting life for offing 16 afghanis. Also burned them. Wonder if Bradley Manning gets worse. Or prof. ........ electronic surveillance for dogs

shiism ??

why is the us sunni / israeli?

why is the us sunni / israeli? oh right. oil. northeast jewry. never mind.

moses wins

Moses, the original terrorist: let my people go, or we kill your firstborns, etc. UBL? And then the civilized euro nations. We shoot V2s in your general direction. We bounce bomb your dams and kill a few thou collaterals. We kill your ball bearing workers. We burn Dresden. And then a little asymm warfare, america goes fascist, you thought israel was the 51st state but in fact the US is run by zionists. Who have recordings of most of the legislators' adultery, having built much telco infrastructure. And the chinese? ---- Nuke DC, seccede, deal only in trade and not in foreign entanglements. Who pays *your* salary?

John F Kennedy

Kennedy decided to blow up the moon. After he had almost blown up the world over cuba. He was plooking Marilyn Barbituate Monroe at the time, having grown tired of his coldfish uppercrust wife. Who, admittedly, scooped his fascist brains up in the limo. And was unhurt... went on to plook an old billionaire... god DANG that's good sniping.. you still get a point for the texas senator..

middle east virus

BEIRUT (AP) — Eighteen rockets and mortars rounds from Syria slammed into Lebanon on Saturday, the largest cross-border salvo to hit a Hezbollah stronghold since Syrian rebels threatened to retaliate for the Lebanese militant group’s armed support of Syrian President Bashar Assad. LOL. US is fail-fail, assad or islamics. israel fail too. russians good, hamas good, hezbollah ok.
