A massive government investment in railroad infrastructure is one of the biggest accepted historical myths. The only reason the railways were built is because those paying the bills were expecting profits. It was capitalism that built the American railway, not government. That said, I agree the investment was invaluable to the success and growth of our country.
We also have to give thanks to all the low wage labor that moved the stone to get the job done.
The massive government investment needs to include/ consider the six mile checkerboard of land almost half of which was granted to the rail. Also include the land grant school sections. Two critical requirements were involved. One was the cadastral survey. The other was the rail grade, track and right of way. Pacific Railroad Act of 1862... and more...
The residents of Fukushima I'm sure share your sentiments.
Good points but I wonder what the politics and regulations were that facilitated the upgrading and replacement of these systems. Oh wait these plants are about as old as they get....
The reactors and generation facilities at Fukushima were not the latest and greatest. Could the operators have updated the site. Yes I suspect they could have built sea walls that were bigger because they did not "touch" the site directly. But could they have rebuilt and moved the reactor.
Much of the globe has facilities that need to be refreshed and upgraded... what regulations constrain and limit improvements.
This issue is not limited to the nuclear industry...
A lot of this is like aspirin. Aspirin would "never" pass regulatory review and become the over the counter drug it is today if it was not already on the market.
Better yet, talk to a Ruby programmer, and he'll probably tell you that it could replace the Linux kernel with 100 lines of code.
100 lines of code and how many GB no TB of library code would it pull along with it.
The library of functionality has somehow become a measure of the quality of a language. This is a left turn that is the result of too much tin foil in ones hat.
Library functionality for strings continues to be broken.
Math libs are way too tangled -- we need something tighter like libmathhp21 and then libstat101 Schools try to organize classes so prerequisites are sane. Library functionality should take a lesson. A 5th grade math student working on a machine should need 5th perhaps 6th grade math libs and no more.
List processing... keep it short, car, cdr
BLoat and entangled unstructured libraries have killed LISP and now I need to run off and get some more tin foil.. the acid rain is melting my hat.
possibly the most important of all the languages at this point in time
Not so sure I'd agree with that summary - I don't doubt the importance of JavaScript to the modern internet but I'd be more inclined to consider the C's of this world as the main foundation of the industry.
JavaScript -- just do a view source of this/. page or your fav.. search engine and count the number of JavaScript blocks of code that are on the page or hidden in css references.
JS is hard to code and harder to test... As an interpreted language bugs only surface at run time. Foo like this (I hope it is not munged):
[if gte IE 8]><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" followed by this
[if IE 7]><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" followed by
[if lt IE 9]><script src="//a.fsdn.com/sd/html5.js"
Further complicate testing.
As far as language design goes the folk most involved in the revision of JS are the ones most commonly looking at your personal info as a product they can slurp up and sell. They are for the most part not at all concerned with security.
My guess is that between Facebook and Google more lines of JS are executed each second than any source except the C/C++ code of the browser and code that implements the JS engine.
Add Flash, Java, and Air to the pile and it is a wonder we do not have more problems. We all know that our browser histories and caches are polluted by images of who knows what rendered as one pixel. Oh wait... Interpol, DHS and FBI know and that is all they need to bust down your door and impound your life and subject your family, dog and cat to body cavity searches and brain biopsies only aliens in science fiction do.
I want one or two to tinker with. Highly constrained little gems like this are worth giving a good hard look. Systems full of bloatware are too hard to maintain.
Metric is a heck of a lot easier to explain than imperial.
Lets see, 2.5 cm per inch, 12 inches per foot, 5 foot per fathom, but its also 5280 feet per mile...and its 3 feet to a yard, which is kind of like a meter, but not quite...
As opposed to simple powers of 10 for metric. If we could today snap our fingers and have everything switched over, with no conversion costs, it would be a no brainer.
Gack... If you are going to give some conversions anchor the first number with an exact number.
1 inch == 2.54 cm (exact equality)
It always was close but in my lifetime the conversion was made "exact". My science teacher was so impressed that it was on each quiz and test for a full year.
Then expand your exact conversion 1 mile == 5280 feet 1 yard == 3 feet ; 1 foot == 12 inches reading == as exactly equal to or defined as.
Not all conversions are so tidy but these are and they permit conversion to the accuracy/precision of the initial measurement.
An example of an astoundingly non tidy conversion rule of thumb is that a "pint is a pound the world around".
And short term temp access at that. The jealous spouse borrows the phone downloads the data and delivers it to her attorney. More sinister is that it is a simple data base and an application could modify the data placing the poor schlep anyplace the bad boys want him to be.
Say I want to by a Taco from the Commanders taco shop and I order it on line. Does this involve a hidden cash flow because there are patents and products under it that make it limited to WindowZ, Linux, FreeBSD, Firefox, Chrome etc.
I am of the opinion that too many "standards" are entangled with IP that effectivly legislate a cash flow to a very limited set of companies.
Ubiquitous standards like pdf & Flash are an entanglement that is quite interesting. More interesting is the entanglement of development tools that generate code that works on a limited set of viewers because of the use of features and bugs. Not a new problem -- DEC knew about and used ill documented display codes on their VT-100 class terminals to keep other vendors from building "work alike" terminals. Intel built a compiler that sensed the local machine and if it was not Intel inside would generate bad code.
Cellebrite works exclusively with most major carriers worldwide including Verizon Wireless, AT&T, Sprint/Nextel, T-Mobile, Rogers Wireless - Canada, Orange France and Telstra Australia, as well as 140 others. This ensures that future devices are supported prior to retail launch.
So they work with vendors to gain access to intellectual property that is installed in the phone. Some of which is not the property of the vendors that Cellbrite states are involved. This seems like a pile of patent, copyright, trade secret and other secret sauce poo to me. It may be illegal to turn the thing on in the US as it is today. Because it runs WindowsCE does not give in free access to all file system technology in the world which makes access to Android phones interesting and anomalous including the secret sauce in new Windows phones.
The other shoe to drop is the apparent rumor that the design team came to work on Fridays wearing black turtle neck T-shirts.
My opinion is that the "tablet" and "phone" look and feel like a tablet, phone, tri-corders and other props as presented on StarTrek a long time ago in a far away place.
One thing I dislike about the Android and like about the iPhone is that it is easy to tell top from bottom on an iPhone both tactually and visually. The Android would do well to use the old thumb spot that lantern slide projectionists used. The spot was placed so a right handed man looking at the screen with his thumb on the spot to keep the projection from being upside down or backwards.
This difficulty in knowing which end is up may be all that Android needs to undress the apple suite.
Hmmm: T-shirt.ne. shoe but are of type clothing.... so what the hey.
One of the big mysteries to me way back was that the US Army address book was classified but the individual entries was not.
A lot of folk are getting the privacy problem inside out. They are concerned about individual privacy in a personal way. What the collective WE need to be concerned about is the collections of data that modern systems sweep up so well. Some of these data collections might be used by foreign agents to watch for pending credit expansions or contractions. So much of the world is lubricated by debt knowing who to extend credit to is worth a lot.
Jewelry makers/ shops do not clean under the work benches. They work on a grid or grate that lets all the precious metal shavings collect and then once in a while gather it up, sent it to a smelter and then pay the rent with what they get back. It is the sweepers that will get rich on our data.
But if I tether my laptop via my phone my IP address maps to someplace multiple time zones away. Marketing wants to at least get the zip code right because mobile is a more impulsive market.
Recently some of the new HTML5 folk are frobnosticating on location protocols... and how to bypass or manage the user controls associated with location data.
Part of the issue has to do with the quality and locality of the numerous landmark servers used for reference. As others noted most routers do not respond to ping or other ICMP packets that do not originate from a management center (NOC). And the location is more and more being considered a classified tid bit of info to keep the bad guys from knowing where resources are located in any locality.
The implication is that 3x is possible with modern regulations. Consider that the NOx restrictions will keep the effective compression ratio so low what 3x would be illegal on the emissions alone.
Also a 3x implies that the motor runs within a rather limited parameter set. This might be OK for trains but a modern train diesel runs rather efficiently when compared to gasoline engines.
The 25KWatt number is interesting. If we were to restrict ALL passenger cars to a 25KW power plant we would easy improve the fuel efficiency of the auto fleet, perhaps 3x.
Hybrids are interesting because they address the red light and freeway parking lot too common situation (badly but better than zero). Also the engine can run at a near constant load when it does run. A constant load can raise the efficiency of any engine on the road today. However engines are not optimum for mileage they are optimum for acceleration in most cases.
I don't understand why the government even needs the passwords. The point of the password is only to authenticate the user, the company in charge of the website surely has access to any data belonging to the user? I doubt if there's many passwords that reveal any useful information about a person!
What if a site had the active data strongly encrypted and the active key was only retained in memory. As long as the "Key" process was live the data would be visible. With a simple command to the "Key" process the data would be unavailable/ available.
This "Key" process could exist local or remote on a web server, a data server or an operating system. It could be per user, per group, per site, per connection, per whatever map is applied.
And yes the "Key" process could require a minimum of two keys to validate. After all Rome mandated that roads be two HA wide or more.
And yep I expect this has nothing to do with the why for the law/ regulation.
Yes but what problem is addressed by this law? Or is it a regulation by a bureaucrat empowered a law.
IMO: On the surface it seems to be a knee jerk reaction to the twitter fueled/fanned revolution sweeping northern Africa and other Muslim countries. This solution however has consequences and repercussions that may or may not be unintended.
The one result I see on the surface is that this retained data is exactly the data an imposter needs. This in turn weakens the ability to hold an individual responsible. For those that are conspiracy nuts this is also the data that a rogue agent could abuse to insert (or delete) data to promote his cause.
But hay, we all know that roads, railroads and now regulations are two horses asses wide. And we also know that hay becomes.
My guess is that you have to be clevar to catch them at the act. You also need to post some fare rules in a fair way on your blog and add a link to your copyright and terms at the end of each entry.
The reality is that bigger guns than you are suffering and looking for relief because it hits them in the pocket book.
I see links that say "read more" way too often. I sometimes follow these "news" articles only to find that 60+% of the content had been copied and at times I find a chain of "read more" links that can be four or five links deep. Worse advertiser first touch $$ belongs to the bogus copy cat.
Too bad "Cuil" search went bust they did seem to track attribution trees well ( See Cpedia).
The patent looks like a schematic of an SGI Indy with Indy Cam to me.
I recall previewing images in the digital domain and clicking to capture it. Scripts would post process... as one might want. One example was a security tool hacked by someone tired of having the cleaners swipe candy. A sequence of stills was inspected for deltas and if things move more than a bit a movie or a sequence of stills was saved and in once case transported to a machine in another building with a locked door.
You are given the values of A and F. Find B, C, and D.
Too simple... folk that keep up with Linus have A, B, C, D, E+e', F,.... and only miss the RedHat patches and preferences.
K = RH(L(....),R)
L(....) is the linux patch stream
RH() is the RedHat patch process that applies RedHat patches.
Since many patches can be seen upstream a lot can be done to disambiguate the bits.
To some degree it is only the down stream freeloaders like Oracle that are impacted. Others live on a live tree branch and will be fine. End users will also not be badly impacted.
What will be interesting is what Oracle will do to cope. They do have customers that want patches in the old way... And they do have customers and perhaps contracts associated with the patches that discloses the what, when and why... of the change. i.e. patch 12345 addresses bugz: 67889 that they care about. i.e. patch 54321 addresses bugz: 98765 in a feature unused.
Outside the kernel is a much larger pile of stuff. This stuff is often more important than the kernel. For example how is Oracle going to communicate that SSH was re-based to 5.8p1 or is SSH patched on top of openssh-2.1.1p4 and does it mater.
The kernel is only a small part of what the important stuff.
But hey this may reset the industry expectations to match that other OS from the NW part of a continent.
