.
I was not meaning you in particular. Just in general that there is a lot of people calling for that.
Understood. My position is not vengeance like most people, just complete shock that such a terrible system would be implemented. So many times, we see that these systems are just about guaranteed to fail.
I guess that is the price we all pay for a world of Yes Men, and people thinking only the way things will work, and not the way they might fail.
I don't think you get the dynamics here of supply and demand here. CA needs the power, the other states have the power.
A similar situation exists for cars. California sets standards for itself, and tells the manufacturers that it will not allow them to sell them in Cali if they don't meet those standards. So whenever possible, the automakers produce vehicles to the Cali standards because they don't want to have to make two versions.
So if California gives purchase preference to NatGas produced electricity, it serves as an incentive to switch to NatGas.
Nothing is stopping an outfit from sticking to their guns and remaining on coal. But the goal isn't coal, the goal is selling electrical power. About the only way to work that system in favor of coal is to radically reduce the selling price.
In other words, lowering the supply price to increase the demand for it.
No new coal plants are under construction or planned anywhere in America.
California energy will come from gas, wind, and solar, with a tiny contribution from geothermal.
Heresy! Slahshdotters shall not let this go unpunished!
For all of the bloviating about coal from it's fans and the Present Occupant, the supplies are running low, and much of what is left isn't very good. And getting to it can be pretty daunting, Spending money and effort to revive an industry that is just about played out makes no sense.
Meanwhile here in PA, we're enjoying our wind power and natgas. I suspect the day will come when the natgas stations will serve as backup.
You are incorrect about a mechanical switch/guard. We are well past that era. What we need is someone other than Homer J. Simpson level people manning the system.
Your thinking is exactly what produced this system. Physical switches are so 1968! We can trigger the alert through a menu, and since we need a shortcut we'll use Ctrl+D so it will be easy.
So anyhow, the situation stands in evidence as to how software people and pus dripping edge folk produce failures.Deal with it.
What's worse, is that the menu items were right under each other. "Missile alert" and "Missile alert Test". Both items give the same "are you sure" confirmation.
While it was certainly a bone headed mistake, it was one what was easily possible for someone in a hurry. As this fellow was just wrapping up his shift, he was clearly trying to get everything done in time.
I don't get the people calling for this guy to get fired. Like none of those assplugs have ever made a mistake on their job.
I was perhaps not clear. I'm calling for the people who designed and implemented a system that was so mistake prone to be sent on permanent vacation. The guy who sent out the alert was just a person making a mistake on fatally flawed software.
Their design and implementation indicates either a lack of knowledge of life critical systems, or a callous indifference to it. You have to place interrupt safe (yeah an oxymoron) points at places. Running a alert test? Have a nice Alert test physical switch. Switch guard, different color. Actual alert? Another switch with a guard and a different color. Never a menu item. The colors indicate the difference, the switch guards function as an "Are You Sure?" message. A degree of separation between testing the system and activating the system must be in place. There was essentially no separation in this incompetent implementation.
How many know someone in the office that accidentally did reply to all, or forward some email chain to external Eric rather than the internal Eric.
Shit happens. Clearly the design of that system isn't the best.
You need a mechanical physical switch with a switch guard. The very fact that an actual alert would be triggered by a menu item, indicates a completely incompetent design. I seldom call for people's jobs, but I'll make an exception in this case..
This would put you outside of the thermal burn range (even for first degree) even if its yield is 500 kT. So most anywhere on the north half of the island will be fine.
Kinda makes everyone look forward to it.
Your definition of fine is pretty interesting. Do you know that the North Korean strategy is to detonate exactly 1 150 KT device in an airburst?
With all of the geniuses on Slashdot, it's hard to understand why they aren't the most wealthy people in the world, and pikers like Buffet need to be schooled by them.
Yeah, you would think with all that financial savvy they wouldn't be concerned about age discrimination and Indians taking their IT jobs.
With all of the geniuses on Slashdot, it's hard to understand why they aren't the most wealthy people in the world.
Because many of us are interested in knowledge not money, many people who gain that kind of money like buffet are naturally psychologically rewarded for engaging in types of work many other intelligent people would bore them out of their minds.
I'm certainly more interested in knowledge than I am in money. But I also understand that money greases the skids of life, and that it is a nice thing to have around the house. So I learned enough about how it is made, and how some outfits make money off of taking your money to tailor my investments. That's knowledge too.
plenty of us are quite wealthy:-). however most of us didn't get that way by gambling on hype.
I'm doing okay myself. I think that people who buy into the hype are the people who think that everyone wins the state lotteries, or Publisher's clearing House.
Here's the thing though: The naysayers were right.
I know that'll be hard for a lot of people to understand, because they're operating in hindsight. In hindsight, yes, you can say, "I should have bought into bitcoin with everything I had as soon as possible, and then sold out when bitcoin was at its peak." However, that doesn't mean they were wrong at the time to say, "You shouldn't bother with bitcoin. It's nonsense."
It is hard for people to understand. The concept of cashing out when it is at it's peak is only because we don't know when that peak is. About the only way to figure out when the peak is arriving is that trading slows way down. There has to be a buyer as well as a seller. And at peak, there aren't many buyers.
Then the dam breaks, as people lower their asking price. Then lower it again, and again.
Yes this is exactly the thing I say. I had many bitcoins once upon a time. I sold them for a few hundred. I think omg what if I had them still, well I wouldnâ(TM)t, for the exact reason I sold them then. I would have sold them at 100, 500, 1000, how on earth could I have not sold them at 10000? As the stat states 97% of them are being infinitely held by people who will never sell them! The rest are speculators...
And that's why you can actually make some money. Altogether too many people get in on investments and then get greedy and think "Oh, if I sell it now, it's gonna just keep going up, and I'll lose all that money" So they want to hold on to it. And if it is at max, trading tends to drop off and there aren't many offers. Then it starts dropping, and they think "Oh, it'll go back up" and hold on to it. There will be plenty of people who are happy to tell them it will go back up again. Then after it bottoms out, they sell.
The famous American Buy High and Sell Low paradigm. Born of greed. This is why confidence men are so successful.
it's hard to understand why they aren't the most wealthy people in the world, and pikers like Buffet need to be schooled by them.
Buffett himself is doing quite well. But the ordinary people who agree with his views are not any wealthier than the ordinary people who invested in bitcoin.
As I've told people who are all excited about how wealthy they are, "How much wealth will you have at the time you need it?"
Might as well do one of my samples.A friend and co-worker and I used to compare retirement plans. I have 4 separate accounts now. He had one he tied to very aggressive stocks, which at the time was dot com. Mine were just chugging along at round 7-8%,in what I thought were smart investment options.. He used to come down to rib me about how well he was doing. And yeah, he had millions more than I did.
Then the dotcom bubble burst, and he ended up with almost nothing. There was nothing he could do with that money until he retired, and it was worth nothing in the end. And talking most people into converting that money into conservative vehicles is just about impossible.
So will the bitcoin wealth be there when the person needs it? I've had a rough time trying to convince people of that, even as they prove my point by losing everything.
tl;dr version. Don't matter if it was worth a billion dollars per coin at some point. if it's worth five dollars per coin when you need to use it, its only worth five.
Norway is rehabilitative, not destructive, to those who commit crimes. Michael Moore's film, Where to Invade Next explored the system in Norway, and prompted articles like this one: Why Norway's prison system is so successful. Quote from that article: "... when criminals in Norway leave prison, they stay out. It has one of the lowest recidivism rates in the world at 20%. The US has one of the highest: 76.6% of prisoners are re-arrested within five years."
At one time, The US was not so bad at the rehab concept. Folsom Prison is an example.Back in the day, they had a low recidivism rate, then the "get tough on crime" crowd took over, and now it is an overcrowded shithole with a nice high recidivism rate.
It is obvious that the get tough on crime ideal has worked about as well as the War on Drugs.
So you end up wondering why so many people still believe in an obviously failed paradigm.
Here's why - a fair percentage of the American people have deathlust. They not only don't want criminals rehabilitated, they want them killed, and preferably as early as possible, in order to save the expense of a trial. And they want them killed for any crime, as long as it isn't their family.
But we haven't reached that point, and probably won't. so there is a big dynamic tension going on. The deathlust crowd wants some things that are contradictory in nature, like more people convicted of crimes, and much longer sentences, but do not want to pay for prison expansion. That one starts to make sense when you apply the fact that they desire a lot of summary executions.
In addition, "get tough on crime" is a pretty easy sell. O the surface it almost makes sense - "If we punish harder and harder, people will eventually stop committing crimes!"
Again, that almost makes sense, until we see that at some point, people become unafraid to die. Witness the number of crimes when the perpetrator does their crime, then kills themselves. While the tough on crime crowd at first cheers the lack of a trial, and their deathlust is temporarily sated, even they must admit that they have no other tools to prevent crime. An innocent is harmed or killed, and they cannot stop it.
Being destructive to those who commit crimes is another crime, a crime committed by the government.
The United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime lists other issues.
With all of the geniuses on Slashdot, it's hard to understand why they aren't the most wealthy people in the world, and pikers like Buffet need to be schooled by them.
Meanwhile, I have the bitcoin challenge. Take every cent you have, the retirement accounts, banking accounts, refi the house, and put it all into bitcoin. It's a no brainer, and you can't lose.
And watch how quickly I'll get modded as troll, and no one takes the challenge.
This message ostensibly was sent to every cell phone in Hawaii - didn't the guy who "pushed the wrong button" get the alert as well?
And seriously - their first thought when sending out a correction was a Tweet? Don't they have the ability to send an "all clear" over the same channel they sent the "LOOK OUT YOU'RE ABOUT TO DIE!!!" message?
What I am interested in is the "pushed the wrong button" business. Aren't they required to have one of these? http://www.12voltunlimited.com... . I cannot imagine that if there was an actual button, it would have to have a switch guard. And if you have an alert that tells millions of people that they need to kiss their asses goodbye, a keyboard press to actuate is simply criminal.
Scaring the crap out of everyone is considered "a state exercise?"
It was a mistake by state officials, plain and simple.
My interst is that I would want to know where the thing is aimed for, so I could stand a few miles away and enjoy the show. Radiation poisioning isn't pretty, and to actually witness the explosion, then get quickly incinerated seems like the ticket. Google Hiroshi Ouchi - but only if you have a very strong stomach. Ouchi and another fellow were pouring Uranyl Nitrate solution into a container, and for some reason poured 16 Kilograms worth of Uranium into a vessel that was only supposed to have 2.4, and there went the pretty blue flash that announced to them that they had a criticality. Ouchi caught 17 freaking sieverts of radiation, when 8 is likely to kill ya. His buddy Shinohara experienced 10 sieverts. They ded. For some reason the powers that be did everything possible to keep him alive, possibly to save face, but the combination of having no more skin, losing incredible amounts of bodily fluids - one day over 20 Kg, and organ failure. 83 friction days of nuclear provided happieness, as you can see by his last photo. But once again, don't look if you are sensitive - it looks like something from a horror movie.
Which is why my popcorn and tequila party to witness the event and check out before I turn into Mr Ouchi is much more appealing. And if it is a fake or a mistake, at least we had a fun party.
You're using a computer, so you must not be worried. Feel free to post your real name, address, date of birth, mother's maiden name, first pet, city of birth and last four of your social security number here.
After all, there's nothing for you to be worried about, right?
I'm always concerned. But the intertoobz is not a secure place, and was never designed to be a secure place. I have whatever protections there are, and don't worry about it that much. Just use good care.
My point is that if a person wants to use masturbatory aids on the intertoobz, and would feel embarassed or worse if the knowledge that he or she is using those aids, they shouldn't use a service that requires personal info. It's just the same thing with people who want to do criminal acts. The intertoobz is the worst place to do that. Because even with encryption, they are drawing attention to themselves.
It's like someone using a skywriting service to send encrypted messages. The powers that be might not know what is in those messages, but they can follow the plane, find where it lands, and have anice chat with the pilot, his boss, and eventually the people who paid for the encrypted can be found.
If you enter your genuine personal information into a porn site's data base, you're taking a silly risk.
Depends on whether you are worried about it or not, I guess. If a person is concerned about their data leaking out, they should never use computers at all..
Now if only they could invent an AI that continuously posts "Get of my lawn", we'd have the entire old farts vs. modern culture lifecycle covered.
For the first time in history, old music is selling better than new music. If that doesn't conclusively prove that new music is at least no better than old music (old music is cheaper) then I'm not sure what could.
The whole story here is interesting. I was listening to Studio 360 last winter, and they were outlining how modern Pop music is made. And it certainly sounds like this article is way beyond late. A group in Sweden performs much/most of the music composition. The algorithms are set to churn out tunes with an emphasis on "hooks". And churning out is the right word. Lots of them.
These tunes then go to people who decide if the tune sounds good or not. All the production grooups get the same songs, and there have been a few cases where two pop singers have ended up using the same tune, but with different lyrics.
Now those lyrics. Modern Pop lyrics are mostly just there for rhythm, and they don't even have to make sense. My better half watches the Ellen Show, and she has bands on and shows the lyrics. A schizophrenic would say "this crap makes no sense!"
Finally, it is interesting that once upon a time, Milli Vanilli was ostracized for not using their own voices in "their music". They were just on stage for their looks, and couldn't sing for shit. But in a few years, that became the norm. Physical attractiveness and the ability to dance and twerk is the number one priority in pop music. And now it even has the advantage of autotune.
Ugh - give me some Rush, or some other people who play their own music, sing their own intelligent lyrics. The final insult? Modern Pop music makes me appreciate and miss the Disco era. Cue "Fly Robin Fly" and fade out.
Now, it isn't all bad - there is good music being put out. It just isn't this pop crap, and you have to dig for it.

Is the naughty teacher theme the one where they teach Evolution?
No, it's the 35 year old female boinking her underage students.
Sorry, it doesn't. You can't measure quality by sales.
But you can be certain that the music producers are noticing that their shit isn't flushing.
Now if only they could invent an AI that continuously posts "Get of my lawn", we'd have the entire old farts vs. modern culture lifecycle covered.
For the first time in history, old music is selling better than new music. If that doesn't conclusively prove that new music is at least no better than old music (old music is cheaper) then I'm not sure what could.
The whole story here is interesting. I was listening to Studio 360 last winter, and they were outlining how modern Pop music is made. And it certainly sounds like this article is way beyond late. A group in Sweden performs much/most of the music composition. The algorithms are set to churn out tunes with an emphasis on "hooks". And churning out is the right word. Lots of them.
These tunes then go to people who decide if the tune sounds good or not. All the production grooups get the same songs, and there have been a few cases where two pop singers have ended up using the same tune, but with different lyrics.
Now those lyrics. Modern Pop lyrics are mostly just there for rhythm, and they don't even have to make sense. My better half watches the Ellen Show, and she has bands on and shows the lyrics. A schizophrenic would say "this crap makes no sense!"
Finally, it is interesting that once upon a time, Milli Vanilli was ostracized for not using their own voices in "their music". They were just on stage for their looks, and couldn't sing for shit. But in a few years, that became the norm. Physical attractiveness and the ability to dance and twerk is the number one priority in pop music. And now it even has the advantage of autotune.
Ugh - give me some Rush, or some other people who play their own music, sing their own intelligent lyrics. The final insult? Modern Pop music makes me appreciate and miss the Disco era. Cue "Fly Robin Fly" and fade out. Now, it isn't all bad - there is good music being put out. It just isn't this pop crap, and you have to dig for it.
