Building cars is a very integrated business. A couple of years ago Volkswagen and a Bosnian supplier no longer looked eye to eye.
For a brief period production was impacted. A VW employee made recordings of meetings on this topic. He is dead now. His car burned. It might have been suicide.
… im Internet von 2020. Nur leider ist es oft nur Müll der erzeugt wurde damit er dann auch gefunden wird. Das ist einfach & billig. In diesen Vor GPT3 Tagen kann man es noch als Datenmüll erkennen: Zum Beispiel: treiber-aktualisieren.com/hp-designjet-750c-treiber-download-fur-windows-10-64-bit/ Dahin linken tu ich besser nicht.
Einen 25 Jahre alten HP printer / plotter 750c Polus aus einer Erbmasse konnte ich nicht stehen lassen. Er geht sogar. Die TCP/IP konfiguration musste ich ein bisschen suchen: Nachdem man TCP/IP KFG auf JA* setzt much man Pfeil Hoch eingeben. Das hat mich 30 Minuten gebraucht darauf zu kommen.
Er braucht ziemlich lange sich in der Welt zurechtzufinden wenn man ihn mit Strom versorgt.
Vor einigen Tagen schaute ich mir einen 60 Jahre alten Röhrenfernseher an. Den Einschaltknopf zu finden war auch nicht leicht: Am Lautstärke Regler ziehen scheint der Trick zu sein beim Modell Rafael. Auch schön ist das die Glotzen den Namen alter Meister hatten.
What if Alexei Navalny dies under strange circumstances in Berlin? Would that not be the best outcome for Putin? It would send a clear signal that Berlin is not safe if you are on his list. Zelimkhan Khangoshvili got killed last August in Berlin. Probably by the FSB.
Vince Beiser’s “The World in a Grain” is alright. Not amazing. Not great. It is an OK listen. It starts out with an ungainly heap (see what I did here) of lists of items. Non of it very interesting.
Overall not bad. I did not return it. I learned something about Dubai. Did even finish the whole book. But would I wholeheartedly recommend it? Unlikely.
Looks like Boeing rebrands the latest version of its 737 jet. As Trump had suggested in a tweet in April 2019. Interesting that the Guardian article fails to mention that.
… there is was a message that one is all caught up in Instagram? Can not remember that I ever saw it.
Nicht oft geraten Aspekte von ungeklärten Phänomenen in die Medien. Leider kommt unsere Kultur nicht wirklich gut mit den Grenzen unseres Wissens zurecht. Die andere Seite wird sofort mit wilden Spekulationen (Hände beidseits des Kopfes erhoben und synchrones Queenschwenken vollführend ) zugemüllt.
Mich stimmt es froh das wir nicht alles wissen. Nicht weil ich dann da irgendwie was schönes alles erklärendes hin projizieren könnte. Sondern weil es spannend ist was dabei raus kommt. Menschen wussten noch nie alles. Sie haben schon immer die Lücken mit Geschichten aufgefüllt. Die wahren mal schön, und mal schrecklich. Und oft leider auch der Grund sich gegenseitig viel Leid anzutun.
Aber jedesmal wenn wir etwas rausgefunden haben war was wir gefunden haben wirklich interessant. Besser als unsere Geschichten. Und Grund für neue Fragen. Oder Anwendungen von denen wir alle profitieren. Anwendungen die Leiden vermindern. Und das ist cool. Wenn es was gibt an dem man sich orientieren sollte, dann ist es die Verminderung des Leidens. Nicht immer so einfach wie es erscheint. Man muss sorgfältig hinschauen. Sonst hat man mal schnell einen Genozid mit dem verringern des empfundenen Leidens des eigenen Volkes organisiert …
In a world where a Senator can use a snowball as an “argument” it is hard to hope for science getting the attention it deserves.
But maybe the fact that the record from 1913 of 56.7C will tumble soon might make people realize what is happening. It has no scientific meaning. But people are not science literate. They take the benefits of science every minute of their live. But they can afford to ignore it.
The fact that the earth is hotter than ever before might be understood once the hottest temperature measured will be the one of this summer. And the next, and the one after that. It is 54.4C right now in death valley.
What John Gruber said. Facebook is a cesspit for broken thinking. There always has been broken thinking. And unbroken thinking too: Chances are you can walk up to a wall in your dwellings, turn a knob and water will start flowing. Sometimes you can control the temperature too. That is proof that there has been unbroken thinking. That kind of thing does not just appear. It gets made by people. With specific and educated actions. Things like QAnon might resonate with feelings that people have. But they do not further man kind. There is no benefit for anybody in these kind of things.
Mark Zuckerberg has responsibility here. He built something that billions of people use. What happens to these people in his system is part of his responsibility. It will be a very sad day for him when he eventually realizes what he has done. But then again lots of people never realized how they f*d mankind.
But history will not smile on Zuck. Thats for sure.
RANDOM INTERNATIONAL came up with a really great artwork for the Zayed Centre for Research into Rare Disease in Children in London. The idea is good. The red sphere makes sense.
But sadly the implementation ruins the work. The thing jerks around. A second grade science project with this kind of performance would get a ‘well meaning nod’ but hardly a good grade. I would not be surprised if the work makes odd noises and causes troubles when it runs day in day out. It likely will not run for a long time without interruptions. I wonder if the makers would have thought about the fact that you need to clean the sphere once a week, otherwise it will look rather dusty.
Having to look at the un smooth motion and oddly tensioning wires makes me sad. It is a great work. It is just implemented in a way that ruins it.
Wires that are less or more part of the work as well as a freaking smooth control of the motors could have made this really nice. I would play with speeds, but usually have it manoeuvre very slowly on a 3 dimensional spline. Just to randomly go into a swift motion. Brownian motions.
There are endless possibilities: At specific times of the days it could perform a ‘ball drop’. Every July 25th it could engage in mostly helical patterns. Eventually somebody would figure out that it is the birthday of Rosalind Franklin.
But of course all that fancy stuff would only make sense if the freaking wires would run smooth. Which they clearly don’t.
