Famed scholar Noam Chomsky is known for both his ground breaking contributions to linguistics and his penetrating critiques of political systems.
Who is Noam Chomsky?
Noam Chomsky was an intellectual prodigy who went on to earn a PhD in linguistics at the University of Pennsylvania. Since 1955, he has been a professor at MIT and has produced ground breaking, controversial theories on human linguistic capacity. Chomsky is widely published, both on topics in his field and on issues of dissent and U.S. foreign policy.
“Some of my earliest memories, which are very vivid, are of people selling rags at our door, of violent police strikebreaking, and other Depression scenes. Whatever the reasons may be, I was very much affected by events of the 1930s, the Spanish Civil War, for example, though I was barely literate.” –Noam Chomsky
Early Life and Education
Noam Chomsky was a brilliant child, and his curiosities and intellect were kindled greatly by his early experiences. Born in Philadelphia on December 7, 1928, Chomsky felt the weight of America's Great Depression. He was raised with a younger brother, David, and although his own family was middle class, he witnessed injustices all around him. One of his earliest memories consisted of watching security officers beat women strikers outside of a textile plant.
His mother, Elsie, had been active in the radical politics of the 1930s. His father, William, a Russian Jewish immigrant like his mother, was a respected professor of Hebrew at Gratz College, an institution for teacher’s training. At the age of 10, while attending a progressive school that emphasized student self-actualization, Chomsky wrote an editorial on the rise of fascism in Europe after the Spanish Civil War for his school newspaper. Rather amazingly, his story was substantially researched enough to be the basis for a later essay he would present at New York University.
By the age of 13, Chomsky was traveling from Philadelphia to New York, spending much of his time listening to the disparate perspectives hashed out among adults over cigarettes and magazines at his uncle’s newsstand at the back of a 72nd Street subway exit. Chomsky greatly admired his uncle, a man of little formal education, but someone who was wildly smart about the world around him. Chomsky’s current political views spring from this type of lived-experience stance, positing that all people can understand politics and economics and make their own decisions, and that authority ought to be tested before being deemed legitimate and worthy of power.
The Scholar
Just as World War II was coming to a close, Chomsky began his studies at the University of Pennsylvania. He found little use for his classes until he met Zellig S. Harris, an American scholar touted for discovering structural linguistics (breaking language down into distinct parts or levels). Chomsky was moved by what he felt language could reveal about society. Harris was moved by Chomsky’s great potential and did much to advance the young man’s undergraduate studies, with Chomsky receiving his B.A. and M.A in non-traditional modes of study.
Harris introduced Chomsky to Harvard mathematician Nathan Fine and philosophers Nelson Goodman and W. V. Quine. Although an industrious student of Goodman's, Chomsky drastically disagreed with his approach. Goodman believed the human mind was a blank slate, whereas Chomsky believed the basic concepts of language were innate in every human’s mind and then only influenced by one’s syntactical environment. His 1951 master’s thesis was titled "The Morphophonemics of Modern Hebrew."
In 1949, Chomsky married educational specialist Carol Schatz, a woman he had known since childhood. The relationship lasted for 59 years until she died from cancer in 2008. They had three children together. For a short time, between Chomsky’s master's and doctoral studies, the couple lived on a kibbutz in Israel. When they returned, Chomsky continued at the University of Pennsylvania and executed some of his research and writing at Harvard University. His dissertation eventually explored several ideas that he would soon lay out in one of his best-known books on linguistics, Syntactic Structures (1957).
Linguistic Revolutions
In 1955, the professorial staff at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) invited Chomsky to join their ranks. Now a professor emeritus, he worked in the school's Department of Linguistics & Philosophy for half a century before retiring from active teaching in 2005. He has also been a visiting professor or lectured at a range of other universities, including Columbia, UCLA, Princeton and Cambridge, and holds honorary degrees from countless others throughout the world.
During his career as a professor, Chomsky introduced transformational grammar to the linguistics field. His theory asserts that languages are innate and that the differences we see are only due to parameters developed over time in our brains, helping to explain why children are able to learn different languages more easily than adults. One of his most famous contributions to linguistics is what his contemporaries have called the Chomsky Hierarchy, a division of grammar into groups, moving up or down in their expressive abilities. These ideas have had huge ramifications in fields such as modern psychology and philosophy, both answering and raising questions about human nature and how we process information.
Chomsky’s writings on linguistics include Current Issues in Linguistic Theory (1964), Aspects of the Theory of Syntax (1965), The Sound Pattern of English (with Morris Halle, 1968), Language and Mind (1972), Studies on Semantics in Generative Grammar (1972), and Knowledge of Language (1986).
Politics and Controversies
But Chomsky’s ideas have never been relegated to language alone. Weaving between the world of academia and popular culture, Chomsky has also gained a reputation for his often radical political views, which he describes as "libertarian socialist," some of which have been seen as controversial and highly open to debate.
In 1967, The New York Review of Books published his essay "The Responsibility of Intellectuals." In light of the Vietnam War, which Chomsky adamantly opposed, he addressed what he saw as a disgracefully resigned intellectual community, of which he was an embarrassed member, with the hope of igniting his peers into deeper thought and action.
In a 1977 article Chomsky co-authored with Edward S. Herman in The Nation, he questioned the credibility of the reporting of atrocities under the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia and suggested some reports were propaganda to place the role of the United States in a more favourable light. Decades later, Chomsky acknowledged in the 1993 documentary Manufacturing Consent “the great act of genocide in the modern period is Pol Pot, 1975 through 1978..."
In 1979, Chomsky signed a petition in support of the free-speech rights of Robert Faurisson, a French lecturer who denied the existence of the gas chambers used in Nazi concentration camps. As a result, Chomsky found himself in the middle of a heated controversy, and in response, he asserted that his views are "diametrically opposed" to Faurisson's conclusions and his intent was to support Faurisson's civil liberties not his Holocaust denial. The incident haunted Chomsky for decades, however, and his reputation in France, in particular, was damaged for some time afterward.
Chomsky also sparked controversy with 9-11: Was There an Alternative? his 2002 collection of essays which analyses the September 11 attacks on the United States, the impact of U.S. foreign policy and media control. In the book, Chomsky denounces the “horrifying atrocities” of the attacks, but is critical of the United States’ use of power, calling it “a leading terrorist state.” The book became a best seller, denounced by conservative critics as a distortion of American history while praised by supporters as offering an honest analysis of events leading to 9-11 that weren't being reported by the mainstream media.
Among his many books addressing politics are American Power and the New Mandarins (1969), Peace in the Middle East? (1974), Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media (with Edward S. Herman, 1988), Profit over People (1998), Rogue States (2000), Hegemony or Survival (2003), Gaza in Crisis (with Ilan Pappé, 2010), and most recently, On Western Terrorism: From Hiroshima to Drone Warfare (2013).

Current Affairs
Despite his often-controversial viewpoints, Chomsky remains a highly respected and sought-after thinker who continues to author new books and contributes to a wide variety of journals and remains active on the lecture circuit. Over the course of his career, Chomsky has also amassed a wealth of academic and humanitarian awards, including the Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award from the American Psychological Association, the Kyoto Prize in Basic Sciences and the humanitarian Sydney Peace Prize. In 2014, at age 85, Chomsky remarried, to Valeria Wasserman.


Frequency 3 Stars (Out of 4) Reviewed by Mac VerStandig<EMAIL_ADDRESS>http://www.moviereviews.org April, 2000
---A copy of this review can be found at http://www.moviereviews.org/frequency.htm ---
Frequency, the first film penned by Toby Emmerich (Noah's brother), is so beautifully crafted and stunningly patriotic that it moves through its almost two hours without a moment of boredom. This, despite an oftentimes-painful lack of intellectual breadth and plot holes that only serve to detract from a film that could have easily been on par with classics like Field of Dreams.
The movie requires audiences to suspend belief and accept a rather far-fetched plot that is actually refreshingly innocent and magical, not unlike Cinderella's midnight curfew: because of a special alignment in the evening sky, one that hasn't been seen so brightly for 30 years, John Sullivan (a mediocre Jim Caviezel) is able to speak with his father, Frank (an excellent Dennis Quaid), – who has been dead for those 30 years.
As the duo chat away under the stars every evening, they begin to change the history of the three decades that separate them - this is interesting. Unfortunately, as the two try to change some untoward events (namely Frank's untimely death and his wife's murder), it seems that no one is effected other than the characters immediately pertaining to the story. Essentially, the movie tries to isolate chaos theory according to what is convenient to explain and disregard what would be too much of a hassle to further develop.
Interestingly, the film makes you ponder what it would be like to be in Frank's shoes. Similar to one of the punishments a death row inmate faces, Frank now knows how and approximately when he will die and, additionally, is deprived of the privilege of seeing his son grow up and wondering what he will do with his life. Unfortunately, Frequency does little to address these questions and leaves them to the audience as more of an afterthought than significant query. It would be well worth the extra time, even if the film surpassed two and a half hours, for these questions to be dealt with on screen rather than have the two main characters so easily accept the nighttime magic and all of its side effects.
All the main characters in Frequency are either police officers, firemen or nurses. With the exception of the aforementioned serial killer, who brings contrast to the production, everyone is the ultimate red-blooded American. Baseball, the American pastime, is a favorite topic of conversation, a cold beer the preferred drink and New York City the place to be. Similarly, Frequency is the typical, feel-good American movie. Sure, there are a few plot holes and some things could be slightly better thought out, but family values have rarely seen a heavier emphasis then they get here and that is just about as American as one can get.

Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents took a closer look at the bag after spotting something suspicious as it passed through the X-ray machine at Newark Liberty Airport in New Jersey.
But when they pulled the item out they discovered it was a toilet roll holder in the shape of a firearm.
Because travellers are not allowed to take replica guns through airport security, the customer was given the choice of putting it into a checked bag or turning it over to the TSA.
According to the agency, he chose the latter.

Usage
Use .pointer-events-auto
to revert to the default browser behavior for pointer events (like :hover
and click
).
Use .pointer-events-none
to make an element ignore pointer events. The pointer events will still trigger on child elements and pass-through to elements that are "beneath" the target.
Try clicking the caret icon to open the dropdown
.pointer-events-auto (event captured)
.pointer-events-none (event passes through)

Customizing
Responsive and pseudo-class variants
By default, only responsive variants are generated for pointer event utilities.
You can control which variants are generated for the pointer event utilities by modifying the pointerEvents
property in the variants
section of your tailwind.config.js
file.
For example, this config will also generate hover and focus variants:
Disabling
If you don't plan to use the pointer event utilities in your project, you can disable them entirely by setting the pointerEvents
property to false
in the corePlugins
section of your config file:

mouseEvent
-
type
-
selector
Triggers a mouse event on the first element found matching the provided selector. Supported events are mouseup, mousedown, click, mousemove, mouseover and mouseout. TODO: IMPLEMENT
Parameters:
-
type
String -
selector
String
open
-
location
Performs an HTTP request for opening a given location. You can forge GET, POST, PUT, DELETE and HEAD requests.
Basically the same as typing a location into your browsers URL bar and hitting return.
test.open('http://dalekjs.com')
.assert.url().is('http://dalekjs.com', 'DalekJS I'm in you')
.done();
Parameters:
-
location
StringURL of the page to open
query
-
selector
It can be really cumbersome to repeat selectors all over when performing multiple actions or assertions on the same element(s). When you use the query method (or its alias $), you're able to specify a selector once instead of repeating it all over the place.
So, instead of writing this:
test.open('http://doctorwhotv.co.uk/')
.assert.text('#nav').is('Navigation')
.assert.visible('#nav')
.assert.attr('#nav', 'data-nav', 'true')
.click('#nav')
.done();
you can write this:

Returns:
chainable
sendKeys
-
selector
-
keystrokes
This acts just like .type() with a key difference. This action can be used on non-input elements (useful for test site wide keyboard shortcuts and the like). So assumeing we have a keyboard shortcut that display an alert box, we could test that with something like this:
test.open('http://home.dalek.com')
.sendKeys('body', '\uE00C')
.assert.dialogText('press the escape key give this alert text')
.done();
Note: Does not work correctly in Firefox with special keys
Parameters:
-
selector
StringSelector of the form field to be filled
-
keystrokes
StringText to be applied to the element
setCookie
()
chainable
Sets a cookie. More configuration options will be implemented in the future, by now, you can only set a cookie with a specific name and contents. This will be a domain wide set cookie.
test.open('http://adomain.com')
.setCookie('my_cookie_name', 'my=content')
.done();
setHttpAuth
-
username
-
password
Sets HTTP_AUTH_USER and HTTP_AUTH_PW values for HTTP based authentication systems.
If your site is behind a HTTP basic auth, you're able to set the username and the password
test.setHttpAuth('OSWIN', 'rycbrar')
.open('http://admin.therift.com');
Most of the time, you`re not storing your passwords within files that will be checked in your vcs, for this scenario, you have two options:
The first option is, to use daleks cli capabilities to generate config variables from the command line, like this
$ dalek --vars USER=OSWIN,PASS=rycbrar
test.setHttpAuth(test.config.get('USER'), test.config.get('PASS'))
.open('http://admin.therift.com');
The second option is, to use env variables to generate config variables from the command line, like this
$ SET USER=OSWIN
$ SET PASS=rycbrar
$ dalek
test.setHttpAuth(test.config.get('USER'), test.config.get('PASS'))
.open('http://admin.therift.com');
If both, dalek variables & env variables are set, the dalek variables win. For more information about this, I recommend to check out the configuration docs

.waitFor(function () {
return window.myCheck === true;
})
.done();
You can also apply arguments to the function, as well as a timeout

.waitFor(function (aCheck) {
return window.myThing === aCheck;
}, 'aValue', 10000)
.done();

test.open('http://myticker.org')
.assert.text('.ticker-element:first-child', 'First!', 'First ticker element is visible')
// now we load the next ticker element, defsult timeout is 5 seconds
.waitForElement('.ticker-element:nth-child(2)')
.assert.text('.ticker-element:nth-child(2)', 'Me snd. one', 'Snd. ticker element is visible')

Detailed Description
The QPainterPath::Element class specifies the position and type of a subpath.
Once a QPainterPath object is constructed, subpaths like lines and curves can be added to the path (creating QPainterPath::LineToElement and QPainterPath::CurveToElement components).
The lines and curves stretch from the currentPosition() to the position passed as argument. The currentPosition() of the QPainterPath object is always the end position of the last subpath that was added (or the initial start point). The moveTo() function can be used to move the currentPosition() without adding a line or curve, creating a QPainterPath::MoveToElement component.
See also QPainterPath.

Although my Mk1 PV control system generates hot water when the sun shines, I'm not convinced that it's using the correct value for Vref.
I have two Arduino Uno boards, both R3. According to the H/W reference page, the ref. voltage for analogue inputs is configurable. The default setting appears to be either 5V or 3.3V but it is not clear to me which value applies to the version that I have. The R3 has both 3.3V and 5V rails.
If the default upper limit of the ADC range were to be 3.3V rather than 5V, then there would be just 0.8V of headroom above the standard ref level of +2.5V. Because my system is only measuring small amounts of power at the supply point while suplus PV energy is being dumped, I'm fairly confident that my 'current' waveform won't be clipping But for any boards with a 3.3V ADC range, users would be well advised to modify their Voltage and Current sensor circuits accordingly, or configure their board for 5V operation.
If anyone has a suitable sketch which could be run on an installed Arduino to record and display raw ADC values, I would be most pleased to hear from them ;)
Re: Is 2.5V correct for Vref?
Robert Wall has kindly supplied me with a 1-line sketch (!) which measures and displays raw samples. The same sketch is attached in slightly expanded form. For ease of use, it now displays the min and max values that have been taken since startup. To start a new run, just press the Arduino's reset button.
The results on my existing rig in the garage have been most revealing. The good news (for me) is that my V & I data are both centred nicely within the ADC's range, so the 2.5 Vref level must be correct for my R3 board. With the C/T hanging free, the background current value is a steady 511. My voltage values also look fine, with a peak-to-peak range of around 480 steps.
But my readings for current are woefully low. The current drawn by a 3kW kettle covers just 105 steps of the ADC's 1024-step range. That's over 100 Amps for full scale coverage. My system is intended to maintain a small export level of around 50W. With my existing hardware, that 'current' signal covers less than 2 steps of the ADC's 1024-step range :(
By playing around with burden resistors while the attached test sketch is running, I hope to be able to increase the size of the input signal somewhat. It would be really helpful to know what other people's readings for AC current are like. Any chance of posting some values?
Re: Is 2.5V correct for Vref?
Here is the original one-line sketch:
I wrote "Just write a one-line sketch..." more as a figure of speech than anything else, meaning a very simple sketch that would extract just that one piece of information, then I realised that it might literally be possible to do it in one line. And the rest, as they say, is history.
Re: Is 2.5V correct for Vref?
Neat, but the numbers whizz round far too fast for my liking !!
Re: Is 2.5V correct for Vref?
Change the numbers (the "100") then! And you can change the port number ("2") too - depending on which one you want to measure.
It wasn't intended as a textbook reference piece of software, you know. (And if I'd added that information as comments, it would have broken the 'one-line' part of the spec.
Re: Is 2.5V correct for Vref?
Robin,
Have just finished the soldering phase of building your Mk2 design, and thought I'd use the above sketch to do some initial checking. Like yourself, I'm also finding that the current signal is very low compared to the voltage input.
I have the YHDC SCT-013-030 CT which has a built-in 39Ω burden. This clearly deviates from the 150Ω in your circuit diagram, and I was wondering if this is what you arrived at after the 'playing around' you mention above?
Many thanks for posting your design, BTW. It's an incredibly neat solution and provides a very enjoyable project!
Andy
Re: Is 2.5V correct for Vref?
Hi Andy,
With the standard YHDC CT, the internal 39R burden will give you around a 1V ptp signal with a 3kW load. That's just 20% of the ADC's input range. When just a few tens of Watts are flowing, your signal will only span a couple of the ADC's 1024 levels. Increasing the burden to 150R allows the ADC's range to be more fully used, but the phase-shift is then significantly increased at high currents because the CT doesn't like being forced to produce this higher level of output. Nothing will be damaged, but the linearity of your system will be likely be adversely affected. Because this system serves to keep import and export in a state of precise balance, linearity is everything for this project.
Personally, I think the best approach is to use the INTERNAL(1.1V) mode for analogReference. Having said which, my original version (with the 150R burden) has been happily working away for some months now with plenty of hot water to its credit. It's not doing much today though :(
Re: Is 2.5V correct for Vref?
Thanks for your reply. I agree that using the analogReference(INTERNAL) sounds the better way forward, and it has the bonus of not needing to butcher the CT. I assume you fed the 3.3v rail to a separate vRef circuit, with a 2nd op-amp and voltage divider?
Re: Is 2.5V correct for Vref?
Good point, it's probably best not to dismantle the CT unless you really need to. The standard of the internal assembly is not the best I've ever seen.
You still only need one reference voltage but it needs to be 0.55V rather than 2.5V. That can be created from either of the Arduino's output rails. 0.55V is one sixth of 3.3V, so a pair of resistors in the ratio of 1:5 does the job nicely. Because I only have E12 resistors, I used a 10K and two 100Ks in parallel.
If using my Mk2 sketch, it's important that only one (shared) reference is used. That's because the dc-offset is only evaluated once and then subtracted from both sets of raw samples.
When the 1.1V reference is used, the component values for the voltage sensor will need to change. Aim to use most of the ADC's range when measuring 240V AC and 3kW's worth of current (or whatever your dump load is rated at). Either of the tools near the top of this thread should help with this setup.
From the Arduino's IDE, an excellent description of the hardware (including the power rails) can be found at Help -> Reference -> Hardware

MAKING UP (ABGESCHMINKT!) A Film Review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1994 James Berardinelli
Rating (0 to 10): 7.8
Date Released: no U.S. release planned Running Length: 0:55 Rated: No MPAA Rating (Mature themes, nudity, sex, language)
Starring: Katja Riemann, Nina Kronjager, Max Tidof, Gedeon Burkhard, Daniela Lunkewitz Director: Katja von Garnier Producers: Katja von Garnier and Ewa Karlstrom Screenplay: Katja von Garnier, Benjamin Taylor, and Hannes Jaenicke Music: Peter Wenke and Tilman Hohn In German with subtitles
MAKING UP is the debut of 26-year old German director Katja von Garnier, who completed this surprisingly-polished one-hour feature as her graduate thesis for film school. Despite its relatively humble origins, the movie has become a top ten hit in its native country, and, after seeing the picture, it's not hard to understand why. MAKING UP is charming.
While many of the plot elements in this romantic comedy are staples of Hollywood's ventures into the genre, von Garnier avoids a number of pitfalls common to typical big-budget American ventures. The female characters are more real than the men and, in a case of turnabout being fair play, it's the males who are reduced to the level of sexual objects while the women have all the good lines. Also, the running length is about right for the story. There is no evidence of padding things out; when the story has been told, the end credits roll. This keeps the pace consistent and energetic.
Frenzy (Katja Riemann) and Maischa (Nina Kronjager) are best friends. Frenzy is older, more mature, and supposedly secure enough in her self- awareness that she doesn't have to be in a relationship to feel fulfilled. Maischa, on the other hand, finds it difficult to live if she isn't half of a couple. One day at a party, she spies Rene (Gedeon Burkhard), and falls for him on the spot. After arranging a date with him, Maischa convinces Frenzy to come along as a companion for Rene's friend Mark (Max Tidof). Frenzy and Mark take an instant dislike to each other, but it doesn't take a cinematic genius to guess in which direction their relationship is going.
MAKING UP has just about everything going for it - strong writing, inventive direction, and believable performances - except originality. The movie is comfortable because its situations, even though presented in a slightly different culture, are familiar. The two main characters have a real chemistry that is rare between two women (probably because of the dearth of solidly-written female characters).
MAKING UP is peppered with laughs, never taking itself too seriously. The scenes of the women getting ready for their dates are delightful - all the moreso because they have the distinct "ring of truth." The script is as perceptive as it is humorous, investigating such issues as why people are afraid to live their lives alone and how it's easier to hide than confront loneliness.
Katja von Garnier's first movie exhibits a liveliness that dis- tinguishes it from most modern romantic comedies. The best part about the film is its characters, who would be just as absorbing if all they did was sit around and talk - which is most certainly not the case. Here, there's a lot of making out as well as making up.

Highlights from Burning Chrome by William Gibson Last read on June 19, 2022
Highlights from this book
-
If poetas are the unacknowledges legislators of the world, science-fiction writers are its court jesters. We are Wise Fools who can leap, caper, utter prophecies, and scratch ourselves in public. We can play with Big Ideas because the graish motley of our pulp origins make us seem harmless.
And SF writers have every opportunity to kick up our heels -- we have influence without responsibility. Very few feel obliged to take us seriously, yet out ideas permeate the culture, bubbling along invisibly, like background radiation.
-
Gibson's extrapolative techniques are those of classic hard SF, but his demonstration of them is pure New-Wave. Rather than the usual passionless techies and rock-ribbed Competent Men of hard SF, his characters are a pirate's crew of losers, hustlers, spin-offs, castoffs, and lunatics. We see his future from the belly up, as if it is lived, not merely as dry speculation.
-
If they think you're crude, go technical; if they think you're technical, go crude. I'm a very technical boy. So I decided to get as crude as possible. These days though, you have to be pretty technical before you can even aspire to crudeness. I'd had to turn both those twelve-guage shells from brass stock, on lathe, and then load them myself; I'd had to dig up an old microfiche with instructions for hand loading cartridges; I'd had to build a lever-action press to seat the primers -- all very tricky. But I knew they'd work.
-
The concrete walls were overlaid with graffiti, years of them twisting into a single matascrawl of rage and frustration.
-
I held the useless shotgun under my jacket. Its hardness and heft were comforting, even though I had no more shells. And it came ot me that I had no idea all of what was really happening, or of what was supposed to happen. And that was the nature of my game, because I'd spent most of my life as a blind receptacle to be filled with other people's knowledge and then drained, spouting synthetic languages I'd never understand. A very technical boy. Sure.
-
I decided to stay up here. When I looked out across the Killing Floor, before he came, I saw how hollow I was.  So now I climb down and visit Jones, almost every night.
We're partners now, Jones and I, and Molly Millions, too. Molly handles our business in the Drome. Jones is still in Funland, but he has a bigger tank, with fresh seawater trucked in once a week. And he has his junk, when he needs it. He still talks to the kids with his frame of lights, but he talks to me on a new display unit in a shed that I rent there, a better unit than the one he used in the navy.
And we're all making good money, better money than I made before, because Jone's Squid can read the traces of anything that anyone ever stored in me, and he gives it to me on the display unit in languages I can understand. So we're learning a lot about all my former clients. And one day I'll have a surgeon dig all the silicon out of my amygdalae, and I'll live with my own memories and nobody else's, the way other people do. But not for a while.
In the meantime it's really okay up here, way up in the dark, smoking a Chinese filter tip and listening to the condensation that drips from the geodesics. Real quiet up here -- unless a pair of Lo Teks decide to dance on the Killing Floor.
It's educational, too. With Jones to help me figure things out, I'm getting to be the most technical boy in town.

The Thirties had seen the first generation of American industrial designers; until the Thirties, all pencil sharpeners had looked like pencil sharpeners your basic Victorian mechanism, perhaps with a curlicue of decorative trim. After the advent of the designers, some pencil sharpeners looked as though they’d been put together in wind tunnels. For the most part, the change was only skin-deep; under the streamlined chrome shell, you’d find the same Victorian mechanism. Which made a certain kind of sense, because the most successful American designers had been recruited from the ranks of Broadway theater designers. It was all a stage set, a series of elaborate props for playing at living in the future.
-
I decided to go to sleep, with nothing worse to worry about than rattle-snakes and cannibal hippies, safe amid the friendly roadside garbage of my own familiar continuum. In the morning I’d drive down to Nogales and photograph the old brothels, something I’d intended to do for years. The diet pill had given up.
-
They were the children of Dialta Downes’s ‘80-that-wasn’t; they were Heirs to the Dream. They were white, blond, and they probably had blue eyes. They were American. Dialta had said that the Future had come to America first, but had finally passed it by. But not here, in the heart of the Dream. Here, we’d gone on and on, in a dream logic that knew nothing of pollution, the finite bounds of fossil fuel, or foreign wars it was possible to lose. They were smug, happy, and utterly content with themselves and their world. And in the Dream, it was their world.
-
Quit yelling and listen to me. I’m letting you in on a trade secret: Really bad media can exorcise your semiotic ghosts. If it keeps the saucer people off my back, it can keep these Art Deco futuroids off yours. Try it. What have you got to lose?

Parker lies in darkness, recalling the thousand fragments of the hologram rose. A hologram has this quality: Recovered and illuminated, each fragment will reveal the whole image of the rose. Falling toward delta, he sees himself the rose, each of his scattered fragments revealing a whole he’ll never know stolen credit cards a burned-out suburb planetary conjunctions of a stranger a tank burning on a highway a flat packet of drugs a switchblade honed on concrete, thin as pain.
-
If the chaos of the nineties reflects a radical shift in the paradigms of visual literacy, the final shift away from the Lascaux/Gutenberg tradition of a pre-holographic society, what should we expect from this newer technology, with his promise of discrete encoding and subsequent reconstruction of the full range of sensory perception?

Coretti had never been in a disco before; he found himself in an environment designed for complete satisfaction-in-distraction. He waded nervously through the motion and the fashions and the mechanical urban chants booming from the huge speakers. He sought her almost blindly on the pose-clotted dance floor, amid strobe lights.
-
And for the first time, Coretti knew what they were, what they must be. They were the kind you see in bars who seem to have grown there, who seem genuinely at home there. Not drunks, but human fixtures. Functions of the bar. The belonging kind.
-
Perhaps they were like house mice, the sort of small animal evolved to live only in the walls of man-made structures.
-
Even now, knowing what I know, I still want to go. I never will. But we can swing here in this dark that towers way above us, Charmian’s hand in mind. Between our palms the drug’s torn foil wrapper. And Saint Olga smiles out at us from the walls; you can feel her, all those prints from the same publicity shot, torn and taped across the walls of night, her white smile, forever.
 We came in peace . . . Workers of the world.... You must tell them that I need it, he said, pinching his shrunken wrist, in my very bones.
-
“But why?" Korolev shook his head, deeply con-fused. "Why have you come?" "We told you. To live here. We can enlarge this thing, maybe build more. They said we’d never make it living in the balloons, but we were the only ones who could make them work. It was our one chance to get out here on our own.  You have to want a frontier want it in your bones, right?" Korolev smiled. Andy grinned back. "We grabbed those power cables and just pulled ourselves straight up. And when you get to the top, well, man, you either make that big jump or else you rot there." His voice rose.  We’ve made that jump, and we’re here to stay!”
-
“It rains a lot, up here; there are winter days when it doesn’t really get light at all, only a bright, indeterinmate gray. But then there are days when it’s like they whip aside a curtain to flash you three minutes of sun-lit, suspended mountain, the trademark at the start of God’s own movie. It was like that the day her agents phoned, from deep in the heart of their mirrored pyramid on Beverly Boulevard, to tell me she’d merged with the net, crossed over for good, that Kings of Sleep was going triple-platinum. I’d edited most of Kings, done the brain-map work and gone over it all with the fast-wipe module, so I was in line for a share of royalties.”
-
“ It was one of those nights, I quickly decided, when you slip into an alternate continuum, a city that looks exactly like the one where you live, except for the peculiar difference that it contains not one person you love or know or have even spoken to before. Nights like that, you can go into a familiar bar and find that the staff has just been replaced; then you understand that your real motive in going there was simply to see a familiar face, on a waitress or a bartender, whoever . . . This sort of thing has been known to mediate against partytime.”
-
It was hot, the night we burned Chrome. Out in the malls and plazas, moths were batting themselves to death against the neon, but in Bobby’s loft the only light came from a monitor screen and the green and red LEDs on the face of the matrix simulator.
-
Bobby read his future in women; his girls were omens, changes in the weather, and he’d sit all night in the Gentleman Loser, waiting for the season to lay a new face down in front of him like a card.
-
When Rikki showed up, he needed one in the worst way. He was fading fast, and smart money was already whispering that the edge was off his game. He needed that one big score, and soon, because he didn’t know any other kind of life, and all his clocks were set for hustler’s time, calibrated in risk and adrenaline and that supernal dawn calm that comes when every move’s proved right and a sweet lump of someone else’s credit clicks into your own account.
-
But I guess she cashed the return fare, or else didn’t need it, because she hasn’t come back. And sometimes late at night I’ll pass a window with posters of simstim stars, all those beautiful, identical eyes staring back at me out of faces that are nearly as identical, and sometimes the eyes are hers, but none of the faces are, none of them ever are, and I see her far out on the edge of all this sprawl of night and cities, and then she waves goodbye.

This site introduces the utility of computing Java stack digests, highlights the stack digest stability challenge, and also provides a debugger to help you configure and tweak your Java Stack Digest filter plugin configuration.
A full Java stack trace is very helpful to analyse and debug a single error, but is not very handy to compare two errors.
The idea is to turn a full Java stack trace into a short and stable digest, that could help matching several distinct occurrences of the same type of error:
This done, it becomes easy with elasticsearch or any other logs centralization and indexation system to:

Wayne Wang's most recent feature, "Chinese Box," is best described as an intriguing mess: several strong performances amid some interesting themes don't quite manage to form a coherent whole. It's somewhat frustrating to watching because the film feels like it could have been much better. Still, there's plenty to enjoy as it is.
With the handover of Hong Kong to China in mid-1997 impending, Jeremy Irons, as a British writer/journalist named John, learns he is dying of leukemia--in fact, dying at a rate that means he'll disappear from the scene at about the same time the British will. The obvious allegory is, unfortunately, not as well developed as it might be; at least, much of the plot doesn't seem to support the allegory in any intelligible way. The film follows his relationships with two Chinese women--Gong Li's prostitute-turned-nightclub-owner Vivian, and Maggie Cheung's feisty street hustler Jean. Oddly, though, the stories of the three individuals are arguably more compelling than the relationships between them: Vivian, though she has made her way out of prostitution, is nonetheless barred by her past from marrying her businessman lover, and must resort to sending home fake wedding pictures. Jean hawks pirated videos and pines for her British boyfriend--yet, when he surfaces and acknowledges that he has forgotten her completely, she shrugs it off after a moment and goes back to work. And John, onetime writer of a tome called "How to Make Money in Asia," is forced by his illness to see the reality of Hong Kong, even as he fades away from it. His unrequited love for Vivian never seems fully realized, since the two characters don't get to interact much until the end of the film--and, oddly, John's scenes with Jean have more life.
Irons, as usual, fills out his part nicely; he makes the audience believe in his illness, seemingly becoming paler and more gaunt over the course of the story, and, like the British presence, increasingly muted and insubstantial. (Hmmm. Maybe that allegory worked after all.) Cheung, erstwhile action-movie star, is a burst of energy in a sometimes languid film; more self-possessed and more savvy than the other two leads, she is the only one who seems to have a clear direction. Li's icy aloofness will be familiar to those who know her from past efforts, mostly under the direction of Zhang Yimou: "Raise the Red Lantern," "Ju Dou," "To Live," and "Shanghai Triad," as well as "Farewell My Concubine" and "Temptress Moon", saw her refining her imperious air. But this is the first role speaking mostly in English, and at times she struggles to make herself understood (though at other times she comes through with what sounds almost like an American twang). (One scene where she tries to imitate Marlene Dietrich's voice has something of a self-referential quality.) And it's difficult for the audience to connect with her character, since the film is played mostly through Irons's eyes and Irons doesn't really understand her himself. Still, Li has a subtly expressive face that makes her enjoyable to watch, even though enigmatic.
Wang's quasi-documentary style does not serve him well here. Much of the dialogue was drowned out by background noise; Li's lines in particular, which would have been difficult to understand in the best of circumstances, take some repeat listening to decipher. The shaky-camera technique, though it imparts an air of realism, becomes tired and distracting after a while. Though there are moments when the handheld camera works well--following Cheung down an alley, for example--it more often calls attention away from the lead actors and onto the director. Aside from a few moments at the beginning and the end, moreover, the political element hardly makes it into the film, which is unfortunate because the documentaryish angle might have served Wang well there. Instead, the love story becomes the bulk of the plot--and considering how little development that story receives, the film sometimes slows almost to a halt. With lesser actors than these three, it could have been rather wearying.
There are things to enjoy about "Chinese Box," but the movie as a whole needs some work. If you're a Gong Li or Jeremy Irons fan, give it a shot.

From a fuzzy, glitzy and hazy beginning, the party slowly turns into a jazzy and cheerful atmosphere that brings smiles to everyone's faces. [G|D]
Those lazy days are sometimes filled with sleazy vibes, but when snazzy items come into the mix and dance moves make you woozy, that's when it truly gets fun! [G|D]

If you're interested in learning more or participating in the Apache CloudStack project, the mailing lists are the best way to do that. While the project has several communications channels, the mailing lists are the most active and the official channels for making decisions about the project itself. "If it didn't happen on a mailing list, it didn't happen."
The project currently has several lists:
announce@: Project release, security and other announcements. This is a very low volume list.
users@: This list is for users of CloudStack to seek and provide support. This is a moderately high volume list.
dev@: Where discussions about development and the project itself happen. This is a high volume list.
commits@: This list is for commits to the CloudStack git repository. It's a high volume list with automated messages, probably of limited interest to anyone who is not actively developing Apache CloudStack.
issues@: Notifications from CloudStack's Jira project. This is a high volume list.
marketing@: Discussions about marketing CloudStack.
The preferred language to use on the lists above is English. To support the global nature of the CloudStack user community, we also have the following regionally specific user lists:

Why does Oracle do so much I/O to the controlfile? It is because whenever a datafile is changed by a NOLOGGING operation, the unrecoverable SCN for that datafile, which is stored in the controlfile, needs to be updated. These updates must occur in controlfile transactions to permit recoverability from an instance crash while the controlfile is being changed.
Unfortunately, controlfile transactions are very I/O intensive. Each controlfile transaction requires at least two reads and two data synchronous writes per controlfile copy. If the controlfiles are buffered by the operating system's file system buffer cache, then the reads may be relatively cheap. Even so, in a typical environment with two or three controlfile copies, a controlfile transaction must nevertheless wait for 4 or 6 random physical writes to the controlfiles.
If your application makes frequent small changes to NOLOGGING LOBs, then it may well be that the controlfile transactions required to update the unrecoverable SCN are actually taking a lot longer than it would take to log the redo for the LOB changes if the LOBs were changed to LOGGING. However, there is a better alternative -- namely, setting event 10359. Most numeric events are undocumented, and not normally supported. However, this particular event is sanctioned with a reference in the Oracle9i Application Developer' Guide - Large Objects (LOBs).
Event 10359 disables all updates of unrecoverable SCNs. By setting this event you can retain the performance benefit of not logging LOB changes without sustaining the performance penalty of repeated foreground controlfile transactions. The only disadvantage is that RMAN will no longer be able to report which datafiles have recently been affected by NOLOGGING operations, and so you will have to adopt a backup strategy that compensates for that.

Marchers fill Brooklyn streets over alleged police brutality
NEW YORK (AP) - About 1,000 people protesting what they say is New York police brutality marched through downtown Brooklyn, chanting “no justice, no peace!”
The peaceful protesters filled main avenues Friday evening as they passed the Barclays Center arena where the Brooklyn Nets play. The march came several days after a video emerged on social media showing police officers fighting with teenagers inside city subway stations.
Marchers say they oppose what they consider over-policing of the subway system.
The protest comes after a period in which the New York Police Department has been under scrutiny for several shootings of armed civilians.
No arrests were reported on Friday.

Bevy is a community-driven people-first project. We do not have a business model. We don't sell anything. For now,
we don't even have a centralized legal organization. Instead, our work is fully supported by sponsorships from
generous individuals and companies. But introducing money into the equation creates concerns about power dynamics
and incentives. And some companies require contracts as a part of their sponsorship programs. Bevy leaders (Project
Leads and Maintainers)
must serve the community's interests above all else. Therefore leaders that accept any
money within the context of Bevy must abide by the following pledge:

The needs of the people in the Bevy community come first. Everything we do should be in the
interest of the individuals in the Bevy community. Yes ... companies use (and support) Bevy. This is
a good thing. But companies are not people. Companies consist of people. The voice of an
individual in a company should be weighted exactly the same as every other voice in our community. No more.
No less.
-
Money can never buy project direction. Bevy's design direction must always be determined by
community needs and (as much as possible) consensus. For example: a company can never directly pay us to
adopt a feature that goes against the community's interests. Nor can they indirectly pull the strings via
financial pressure, such as threat of un-sponsoring.
-
Money can never buy project priority. We must always do the work that we believe is best for
the Bevy community at a given moment. We cannot be paid to bump a company's pet feature up in our priority
list. Our time (within the context of what we commit to the Bevy community) is not for sale. If we are "full
time" Bevy leaders, none of our time can be bought. If we are "part time Bevy leaders", only the remaining
time can be bought.
-
Bevy leaders must be able to speak their mind. We will never sign away our right to disclose our
thoughts or opinions about entities we receive money from. This means no "non-disparagement agreements".
"Non-disclosure agreements" are only ok within the context of protecting private information (that does not
directly relate to Bevy).
-
Bevy leaders must be open about who supports them (within the context of Bevy). No hidden entities
behind the scenes. If we receive $200 a month ($2,400 a year) or more from an entity or have a financial
stake in one that
relates to the Bevy project in any reasonable way, we must disclose it within 6 months of receiving the
money or stake.
-
Bevy leaders will hold each other accountable. If any of us suspects a violation of the pledge, we
will immediately seek to rectify it. First amongst ourselves if there is reasonable doubt, and then publicly
if the situation demands it.
-
The pledge and the Bevy Community always come first. If we are confronted with the choice of
upholding the pledge or losing the financial support of an entity, we will choose the pledge every time. The
amount of money on the table has no bearing on this. We must be honest with ourselves and each other. If we
can't say no to large sums of money with pledge-violating strings attached, we don't deserve to be Bevy
leaders.
The Bevy project (and the financial support we receive) is constantly growing. We must be certain we don't lose
ourselves, our purpose, or the trust of the community as we continue on this wild ride. This is also a living
document. If you believe we missed something important, please let us know. Removing items from the list would
almost certainly be a violation of The Pledge, so unless we've seriously messed something up, consider this
append-only.
Currently, this agreement operates on the honor system. We believe all of our maintainers have won the trust of
the community, but we will be putting together a legal organization to uphold this agreement and help fairly
collect and distribute funds later this year.
Also note that this only applies to Bevy leadership. We welcome and encourage companies to fund development
efforts that improve Bevy in whatever way they want. However Bevy leadership cannot be involved in any way
that violates The Pledge. Bevy leadership must always be the filter that protects the community from
changes that go against their interests. Companies should do their best to collaborate with the Bevy community
(and Bevy leaders) to ensure their changes are acceptable.
