[OT] "Teach Your Children" - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

"Teach Your Children." - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young https://youtu.be/q357cCcTYf8 You, who are on the road must have a code that you can live by. And so become yourself because the past is just a good bye. Teach your children well, their father's hell did slowly go by, And feed them on your dreams, the one they pick's the one you'll know by. Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry, So just look at them and sigh and know they love you. And you, of tender years can't know the fears that your elders grew by, And so please help them with your youth, they seek the truth before they can die. Teach your parents well, their children's hell will slowly go by, And feed them on your dreams, the one they pick's the one you'll know by. Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry, So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

[WAR] Re: ‘Black teens’ not allowed: Racist sign left on Melton, Melbourne, milk bar window

Anyone got a plan on how to stop the CIA from committing atrocities the world over? Z ----- Forwarded message from Zenaan Harkness <zen(a)freedbms.net> ----- Date: Sat, 15 Apr 2017 09:16:36 +1000 From: Zenaan Harkness <zen(a)freedbms.net> Subject: Re: ‘Black teens’ not allowed: Racist sign left on Melton, Melbourne, milk bar window The problem is Jim, that the ones we take in more often than not come from areas where the population is experiencing much strife. And that strife is more often than not due to Muslim Brotherhood or some other CIA sponsored, coup-loving jihadi "moderate" head choppers. So then we must look at the numbers - even if only 2 out of 100 immigrants are likely to commit a violent crime, DO WE WANT TO TAKE THAT RISK ??? For most people, the honest answer is no. Politically correct "they struggle so much" talk keeps us blind to the obvious - we ought be working out ways to look after our own challenged youths, rather than bring in 1000s from other countries who have little to no hope to integrate, and close to certainty to become street wise thugs, because they are more often already street wise thugs from where they come from. And then also with young, disenfranchised and financially disempowered males also being the majority of "poor starving immigrants" from these regions, you know that that 2 out of 100, is actually closer to 22 out of 100! Should we keep importing this high risk, high aggression group of young disenfranchised males from war torn regions (often war torn thanks to the CIA and USA/Australia)? The --sane-- answer should be HELL NO!! And yes, the media SHOULD be publishing the crimes that happen. Burying our heads under the rug will NOT solve the problem, NOR increase the understanding, NOR improve the public dialog.

Implications of AI: Spawn of the DAO... Non-Human VC's
by grarpamp 14 Apr '17

14 Apr '17

Regarding the DAO and so much yet to come with VC's... http://www.techworld.com/social-media/sir-tim-berners-lee-lays-out-nightmar… The architect of the world wide web Sir Tim Berners-Lee has talked about some of his concerns for the internet over the coming years, including a nightmarish scenario where artificial intelligence (AI) could become the new 'masters of the universe' by creating and running their own companies. Masters of the universe is a reference to Tom Wolfe's 1987 novel The Bonfire of the Vanities, regarding the men (and they were men) who started racking up multi-million dollar salaries and a great deal of influence from their finance roles on Wall Street and in London during the computerised trading boom pre-Black Monday. Berners-Lee said, "So when AI starts to make decisions such as who gets a mortgage, that's a big one. Or which companies to acquire and when AI starts creating its own companies, creating holding companies, generating new versions of itself to run these companies. So you have survival of the fittest going on between these AI companies until you reach the point where you wonder if it becomes possible to understand how to ensure they are being fair, and how do you describe to a computer what that means anyway?" https://www.technologyreview.com/s/604087/the-dark-secret-at-the-heart-of-a… Last year an experimental vehicle, developed by researchers at the chip maker Nvidia was unlike anything demonstrated by Google, Tesla, or General Motors. The car didn't follow a single instruction provided by an engineer or programmer. Instead, it relied entirely on an algorithm that had taught itself to drive by watching a human do it. Getting a car to drive this way was an impressive feat. But it's also a bit unsettling, since it isn't completely clear how the car makes its decisions, argues an article on MIT Technology Review. The mysterious mind of this vehicle points to a looming issue with artificial intelligence. The car's underlying AI technology, known as deep learning, has proved very powerful at solving problems in recent years, and it has been widely deployed for tasks like image captioning, voice recognition, and language translation. There is now hope that the same techniques will be able to diagnose deadly diseases, make million-dollar trading decisions, and do countless other things to transform whole industries. But this won't happen -- or shouldn't happen -- unless we find ways of making techniques like deep learning more understandable to their creators and accountable to their users. Otherwise it will be hard to predict when failures might occur -- and it's inevitable they will. That's one reason Nvidia's car is still experimental.

Skrymions: Data storage breakthough
by jim bell 14 Apr '17

14 Apr '17

http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2017/04/11/scientists-tout-tout-data-storage-br… This reminds me of magnetic-bubble technology, which was relatively big in the late 1970's and early 1980's. Intel made magnetic bubble devices up to a capacity of 1 megabits/device, which was considered large in comparison with the then-64 kilobit RAMs then in common use. http://www.wylie.org.uk/technology/computer/bubblmem/bubblmem.htm In contrast, these "skrymions" are said to have a domain size as small as 2 nanometers.

[RUS] UNSC: "Look at me when I'm talking to you!" - Russia continues firm parenting fo juvenile West
by Zenaan Harkness 14 Apr '17

14 Apr '17

Ahh Russia, diplomats of our heart, the gift of communication to the world that keeps on giving. And the world sorely needs a firm parent ... few would deny this sad, sad fact. Yes indeed, 2017 is turning into the comedy year of the century, and Russia is centre stage (in a good way), delivering the whip crack of common sense and decency to many. One might expect this from ones parents, but no, this is Russia's deputy United Nations ambassador Vladimir Safronkov delivering a stern finger wag to UK ambassador Matthew Rycroft for his appalling lack of basic human decency during a UNSC meeting: > Look at me when I'm talking to you! Why are you looking away? Rycroft evidently missed that memo when he was dragged up by his parents.

Crunch Medical Fund

Physical strength balances mental strength. Reverse hyperextension. Inventor: Power lifter Louie Simmons westside-barbell.com/blogs/westside-barbell-workouts youtube.com/watch?v=U_qkB5905FU - - gofundme.com/crunch-medical-fund?r=41739 Captain Crunch will be facing some very difficult surgery on March 28, 2017 involving 3 incisions, 1 in his side after removal of one of his ribs. 1 in the front of his stomach where they have to move all of his vital organs aside and 1 in his back requiring an 8 inch incision to gain access to his spinal column."" They have to put a "cage" surrounding his discs and add 4 more screws to help support his spine.The surgery will last approximately 9 hours or more, and may involve a second surgery the following week if there isn't enough time to complete the entire surgery at once."" This extremely complex and dangerous surgery gives Crunch a 50/50 chance of a normal life. A 10% chance he may not recover at all and a 20% chance of becoming permantly paralyzed."" There is 4 to 6 months of recovery and requires significant homecare after he is discharged from the rehab center."" Without this funding, he will not be able to maintain a normal life or care for himself. He will be bedridden most of the time throughout the recovery process."" The Crunchman will have limited access to his computer and if the funding is successful, he will try to arrange a way to access his computer from his bed.""
