Who are we? Why are we here? How can we explain this place we live in and all the things surrounding us? Before philosophy, ancient civilizations relied on myths and religious texts to explain everything Earth consisted of. Archaic Greece (c. 620 BC – 480 BC) was not only the foundation for reestablishing a demolished country after the Dark Ages, but it was the backbone of developing a period to follow that was known as the most influential era in Greek history, the Classical period (500 BC -323 BC). In the Archaic Period there were vast changes in Greek language, society, art, architecture, and politics. These changes occurred due to the increasing population of Greece and its increasing amount trade, which in turn led to colonization and a new age of intellectual ideas, the most important of which was Democracy. This would then fuel more cultural changes and new ideas of the study of philosophy. Archaic philosophers, called pre-Socratics, were considered scientists that studied nature, asked questions, and overall had a love of wisdom. Pre-Socratic philosophers attempted questions and found a new style of linguistics during the Archaic period that would influence the Classical Greek disciplines such as philosophy, art, and architecture to be the greatest period of ancient Greece.
Many believed that ancient Greeks created the notions of philosophy. The Archaic period of Greece saw the beginnings of Greek philosophy and the first of the many intellectual giants who would make Greece famous for its philosophers. The philosophers of the Archaic period are known as the pre-Socratic philosophers, that is, the philosophers before Socrates, who would later revolutionize philosophy. They were referred to as pre-Socratics because before Socrates nobody included an anthropocentric character in their theories, Socrates was the first. These philosophers were mostly interested in explaining the development and structure of the physical universe, and thus were very much like early scientists. Thales of Miletus (624–654 BC) is considered the first major Greek philosopher. He sought to understand the existence of the world and the workings of nature without recourse to mythology. Thales believed that water was the basis of all things. He was succeeded by other philosophers from Miletus, which gave rise to what became known as the Milesian School, which was interested in how nature worked. Another member of the school was Anaximenes (585–525 BC), who held that air was the basis of all things. Thales, Anaximenes, and Anaximander were from the Milesian school and considered the fathers of the school. Another school, the Ephesian School, is represented by Heraclitus (535–475 BC), who held that fire was the nature of all things, and that change was fundamental and continual. Pythagoras of Samos (582–496 BC) created his own school of philosophy, centered...

Марк Попиллий Ленат (; II век до н. э.) — древнеримский военачальник и политический деятель из плебейского рода Попиллиев, консул 173 года до н. э., цензор 159 года до н. э.

Происхождение
Первые упоминания о плебейском роде Попиллиев появляются в источниках в 360-е годы до н. э., сразу после принятия законов Лициния-Секстия, благодаря которым плебеи получили доступ к консулату. Когномен Ленат (Laenas), типичный для Попиллиев, иногда встречается и у представителей других родов; согласно Цицерону, это родовое прозвище происходит от слова laena, обозначавшего мантию фламина, но Ф. Мюнцер предположил, что это скорее номен нелатинского (возможно, этрусского) происхождения, который в Риме превратился в когномен.

Согласно Капитолийским фастам, отец и дед Марка Попиллия носили преномен Публий. О Публии-младшем известно только, что он был легатом в 210 году до н. э. Братьями Марка были Публий (триумвир по выведению колоний в 180 году до н. э.) и Гай, консул 172 и 158 годов до н. э.

Биография
Первое упоминание Марка Попиллия в источниках относится к 180 году до н. э., когда он был одним из триумвиров, занимавшихся организацией латинской колонии на земле, выделенной городом Пиза (наряду с братом Публием и преторием Квинтом Фабием Бутеоном). В 176 году до н. э. Ленат получил претуру и отказался от управления Сардинией на том основании, что восстание в этой провинцию уже начал усмирять Тиберий Семпроний Гракх. В 174 году до н. э. Марк Попиллий входил в состав посольства в Грецию, целью которого было прекратить гражданскую войну внутри Этолийского союза.

По возвращении с Балкан Марк Попиллий был избран консулом на 173 год до н. э. Вместе со своим коллегой, патрицием Луцием Постумием Альбином, он провёл Цветочные игры, которые начиная с этого момента стали ежегодными. Провинцией для обоих консулов была назначена Лигурия, но военные действия вёл только Ленат: Альбин был занят разграничением земель в Кампании. Ленат разбил племя стателлатов, а когда оно капитулировало, обошёлся с ним очень сурово: продал всех сдавшихся в рабство (10 тысяч человек), а их город разрушил. Сенаторам, узнавшим об этих событиях из письма консула, оглашённого претором Авлом Атилием Серраном, «эта расправа показалась ужасной»; они приказали Марку Попиллию освободить лигуров и вернуть им всё имущество, но тот не подчинился этому приказу. Он самовольно приехал в Рим, наложил на Серрана штраф, а от сената потребовал утвердить его распоряжения и назначить благодарственное молебствие. Получив отказ, Ленат вернулся в провинцию, где из-за его жестокости начались новые восстания.

Из-за этих событий в следующем году, несмотря на угрозу войны с Македонией, сенат снова назначил Лигурию провинцией для обоих консулов, но магистраты (одним из консулов был брат Марка Попиллия Гай) отказались туда ехать. Марк с полномочиями проконсула продолжал войну и в одном из сражений перебил 6 тысяч стателлатов, после чего восстание только усилилось. Наконец, сенаторы приняли закон о расследовании событий в Лигурии и наказании виновника и заявили, что, если проконсул не прибудет в Рим, то будет осуждён заочно. Только после этого Марк Попиллий сдал командование. Лигуры получили свободу и земли за Падом, а Ленат предстал перед судом. «Из уважения к отсутствующему консулу и уступая мольбам семьи Попиллиев», претор отложил очередное заседание до конца срока своих полномочий, что фактически означало прекращение дела.

Во время начавшейся вскоре Третьей Македонской войны Марк Попиллий был легатом в войске Квинта Марция Филиппа (169 год до н. э.). Известно, что с отрядом в тысячу воинов он зимовал в городе Амбракия в Этолии. Его карьеру увенчала цензура 159 года до н. э., коллегой по которой стал патриций Публий Корнелий Сципион Назика Коркул. Цензоры приказали уничтожить статуи, «которые из честолюбия некоторые ставили себе на Форуме» без одобрения Сената и народного собрания. Авл Геллий рассказывает характерную историю о Назике и Ленате. Проводя перепись всадников, цензоры увидели крайне тощего и неухоженного коня, на котором сидел дородный хозяин, и спросили у последнего: «Почему получается так, что ты более ухожен, чем конь?» Тот ответил: «Потому, что о себе забочусь я сам, а о коне — Стаций, негодный раб». Назика и Ленат сочли такой ответ «недостаточно почтительным» и перевели всадника в низшую категорию римских граждан — эрарии.

Потомки
Сын Марка Попиллия того же имени был консулом в 139 году до н. э.

Amazon's Software Is Malware
Other examples of proprietary malware
Malware and nonfree software are two different issues. Malware means the program is designed to mistreat or harm users when it runs. The difference between free software and nonfree software is in whether the users have control of the program or vice versa. It's not directly a question of what the program does when it runs. However, in practice nonfree software is often malware, because the developer's awareness that the users would be powerless to fix any malicious functionalities tempts the developer to impose some.
If you know of an example that ought to be in this page but isn't here, please write to <webmasters@gnu.org> to inform us. Please include the URL of a trustworthy reference or two to serve as specific substantiation.
Kindle Swindle Echo Other products
Malware in the Kindle Swindle
We refer to this product as the Amazon Swindle because it has Digital restrictions management (DRM) and other malicious functionalities.
Amazon downgraded the software in users' Swindles so that those already rooted would cease to function at all.
The Amazon Kindle-Swindle has a back door that has been used to remotely erase books. One of the books erased was 1984 , by George Orwell.
Amazon responded to criticism by saying it would delete books only following orders from the state. However, that policy didn't last. In 2012 it wiped a user's Kindle-Swindle and deleted her account, then offered her kafkaesque "explanations."
The Kindle also has a universal back door.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation has examined and found various kinds of surveillance in the Swindle and other e-readers.
The Amazon Kindle has DRM. That article is flawed in that it fails to treat DRM as an ethical question; it takes for granted that whatever Amazon might do to its users is legitimate. It refers to DRM as digital "rights" management, which is the spin term used to promote DRM. Nonetheless it serves as a reference for the facts.
Malware in the Echo
The Amazon Echo appears to have a universal back door, since it installs "updates" automatically.
We have found nothing explicitly documenting the lack of any way to disable remote changes to the software, so we are not completely sure there isn't one, but this seems pretty clear.
Amazon Alexa collects a lot more information from users than is necessary for correct functioning (time, location, recordings made without a legitimate prompt), and sends it to Amazon's servers, which store it indefinitely. Even worse, Amazon forwards it to third-party companies. Thus, even if users request deletion of their data from Amazon's servers, the data remain on other servers, where they can be accessed by advertising companies and government agencies. In other words, deleting the collected information doesn't cancel the wrong of collecting it.
Data collected by devices such as the Nest thermostat, the Philips Hue-connected lights, the Chamberlain MyQ garage opener and the Sonos speakers are likewise stored longer than necessary on the servers the devices are tethered to. Moreover, they are made available to Alexa. As a result, Amazon has a very precise picture of users' life at home, not only in the present, but in the past (and, who knows, in the future too?)
Some of users' commands to the Alexa service are recorded for Amazon employees to listen to. The Google and Apple voice assistants do similar things.
A fraction of the Alexa service staff even has access to location and other personal data.
Since the client program is nonfree, and data processing is done "in the cloud" (a soothing way of saying "We won't tell you how and where it's done"), users have no way to know what happens to the recordings unless human eavesdroppers break their non-disclosure agreements.
Crackers found a way to break the security of an Amazon device, and turn it into a listening device for them.
It was very difficult for them to do this. The job would be much easier for Amazon. And if some government such as China or the US told Amazon to do this, or cease to sell the product in that country, do you think Amazon would have the moral fiber to say no?
These crackers are probably hackers too, but please don't use "hacking" to mean "breaking security".
Malware in other products
The Ring (now Amazon) doorbell camera is designed so that the manufacturer (now Amazon) can watch all the time. Now it turns out that anyone else can also watch, and fake videos too.
The third party vulnerability is presumably unintentional and I suppose Amazon will fix it. I do not expect Amazon to change the design that allows Amazon to watch.
Amazon Ring "security" devices send the video they capture to Amazon servers, which save it long-term.
In many cases, the video shows everyone that comes near, or merely passes by, the user's front door.
The article focuses on how Ring used to let individual employees look at the videos freely. It appears Amazon has tried to prevent that secondary abuse, but the primary abuse—that Amazon gets the video—Amazon expects society to surrender to.
Amazon recently invited consumers to be suckers and allow delivery staff to open their front doors. Wouldn't you know it, the system has a grave security flaw.
The Amazon "Smart" TV is snooping all the time.

A Quiet Place: Part II

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It
Halloween Ends: Stephen King Praises Final Film in Slasher Series
By Charlie Ridgely - October 13, 2022 11:24 pm EDT
The Halloween franchise is coming to a close this weekend. Well, probably not, but it will at least be over for the foreseeable future. Halloween Ends is meant to be the conclusion to the story of Michael Myers and Laurie Strode, putting a cap on the series that began in 1978. Reviews for Halloween Ends have been mixed so far, but the film seems to have a fan in one of the biggest names in horror: Stephen King.
On Thursday night, King took to Twitter to share his thoughts on Halloween Ends alongside its release. The author said that he enjoyed the film and that he found it "surprisingly character driven," despite the fact that it doesn't reinvent the wheel. You can check out King's tweet below.
I enjoyed HALLOWEEN ENDS. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it's--gasp!--surprisingly character driven.
— Stephen King (@StephenKing) October 13, 2022
When Does Halloween Ends Come Out?
Halloween Ends was scheduled for a release on Friday, October 14th, so the first screenings actually started across the country on Thursday evening. That means Halloween Ends is already on the big screen, but there is more than one way to watch the new slasher.
Like Halloween Kills last year, Halloween Ends is being released simultaneously in theaters and on Peacock. Fans hoping to watch it on the streaming service didn't have to wait until Friday, though, as Peacock debuted Halloween Ends at 8pm ET on Thursday night. So it is already available to watch online.
Is Halloween Ends the Last Halloween Movie?
Given the nature of franchises, especially those in the horror genre, there is no way Halloween Ends will be the final Halloween movie. There will be some kind of reboot in the future. This is, however, the final time Jamie Lee Curtis will take on the role of Laurie Strode. On Jimmy Kimmel Live! this week, the actress even signed a contract to prove she'd be walking away from the series.
"I declare this is my last Halloween movie. I, Jamie Lee Curtis, queen of scream, daughter of Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis, mother of Lindsay Lohan. Hereby sweareth under penalty of perjury, that Halloween Ends will be the last Halloween movie I will ever appear in. For all time, across all sequels, and multiverses. Enforceable by the Police Department of Haddonfield, Illinois. May God have mercy on all of us."
Will you be watching Halloween Ends on Peacock this weekend? Let us know in the comments!

This is the shocking scandal currently unfolding in Spain. The BBC reports that today the first person to go on trial for these illegal "adoptions" was found guilty.
Over the course of more than six decades, the Catholic Church and medical professionals worked together to steal babies from families they deemed "unsuitable", and then give the stolen newborn to infertile couples they decided were more "suitable".
But because gynaecologist Eduardo Vela is 85, and because he committed the crime in 1969, the court decided to drop the charges. The cruel and illegal practice began during the reign of fascist dictator General Franco. He came to power after Spain's 1936-1939 civil war.
Franco allowed the Church to take control of social services including hospitals, schools and children's homes. Nuns and priests would compile waiting lists of couples wanting to adopt. Those with right-wing politics were likely to be successful.
Doctors then worked with the nuns and priests to steal the newborn infants from their real mums, often lying to the mothers about the fate of their kids.
They would target parents who they deemed to be "politically suspect" and not supportive of the rightwing dictatorship. The cover up into the baby trafficking scandal continued for decades, with the practice continuing even into the 1990s.
A 2008 investigation estimated that as many as 30 000 babies were stolen in the scheme. The baby who was stolen by Vela in 1969, Inés Madrigal (49), was in court today to hear the verdict.

Z Systems Offered Hope to IBM's System Hardware Segment in 2Q15
IBM's System Hardware posted 5% growth
In the last part of this series, we saw that almost all of IBM's (IBM) operating segments posted a fall in their respective revenue in fiscal 2Q15. However, IBM's System Hardware segment grew 5% to $2.1 billion in 2Q15 in constant currency terms.
Z Systems posted 50% revenue growth in 1H15
The System Hardware segment's revenue got a boost by increased MIPS (million instructions per second) for z Systems. The delivery of z Systems' computing power is measured in MIPS. It grew by 24%. As the above chart shows, z Systems' revenue grew by 15% in constant currency terms in fiscal 2Q15. It grew at a rate of 50% in 1H15. Also, sales of the new z13 System that was launched in late March 2015 contributed to this growth. Power Systems reported 5% growth.
In 2014, IBM's operating system registered a 13.40% fall in its revenue on a YoY (year-over-year) basis due to the Power and z Systems being in the later phase of the product cycle and their corresponding sales failing to deliver growth.
With z13, the company claims to have improved its capabilities in analytics, mobile, security, and the cloud space. Looking at the growth of z Systems and Power Systems, it appears that the growth in these sub-segments will be instrumental to growth in the System Hardware segment.
With the sale of low margin hardware units like x86 servers, IBM is trying to streamline its hardware business and shift its focus on Power8 servers and z System mainframes. Its strategic divestments in the hardware division combined with the launch of the new z Systems helped its System Hardware segment post 5% YoY growth.
In 2014, IBM sold its x86 server division to Lenovo (LNVGY) for $2.1 billion. Earlier, IBM was considered a market leader in x86-based servers. However, after the sale of its server business to Lenovo, it lost the title to Lenovo. Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) leads the global server systems space with a share of ~26%. Oracle (ORCL) is another leading player in this space. Its x86 servers are compatible with Oracle Solaris, Oracle Linux, and Microsoft Windows (MSFT).
If you're bullish about IBM, you can invest in the Technology SPDR ETF (XLK). XLK invests 3.51% of its holdings in IBM.

Former Fed Governor and Berkeley Real Estate Professor Sherman Maisel Passes Away
October 4, 2010 | by Haas News
Sherman J. Maisel, former governor of the Federal Reserve and professor emeritus of the Haas School, died from respiratory failure on Sept. 29 in San Francisco. He was 92. Maisel was known, among other things, for his role in developing the modern mortgage market for housing and policy procedures of the Federal Reserve.
As a young man in the 1940s, Maisel was struck by the loss of income and great distress caused by the fluctuations in homebuilding he witnessed. As a result, he devoted much of his career to studying the housing and mortgage market and developing monetary policies that would smooth the severity of the industry's cycles.
Maisel first joined the faculty of the School of Business (now Haas School of Business) at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1948, where he helped found the Center for Real Estate and Urban Economics — one of the first in its field in the country. He took leave from UC Berkeley in 1965, when President Johnson appointed him to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. He returned to the business school in 1972. In 1986 he retired as California State Professor of Real Estate and Urban Economics, and was awarded the Berkeley Citation for distinguished achievement.
Maisel's research on monetary policy, housing, the mortgage market, and economic forecasting has been published in 14 books and more than 100 academic articles, including "Determinants of Residential Construction," "Impact of Monetary Policy" for the Commission on Money and Credit, and "Financing Real Estate" (1965). He also contributed to the first large-scale computer model of the U.S. economy, the Brookings Model, in 1965.
His work showed that large fluctuations in housing starts and construction were greatly influenced by changes in the mortgage market and by the long lags in the building process. Mortgages remained primarily a local product, dependent upon the uneven flow of deposits into savings and loan institutions and banks. To make matters worse, the government mortgage programs had a cyclical bias that suppressed home construction during recessions because their fixed rates lagged behind changes in the major credit markets.
"His work on housing cycles and mortgage markets was path-breaking," said Kenneth Rosen, current chairman of the Fisher Center for Real Estate and Urban Economics, who was hired by Maisel to build up the center in 1979. "His many papers on monetary policy and housing markets formed the foundation of current housing finance research. His textbook Real Estate Finance was used by a generation of real estate finance students around the country."
In addition to his academic work, Maisel was very active in the Berkeley community. He was a member of the Berkeley Unified School District Board of Education from 1962 to 1965 where he led efforts to increase the funding, improve the quality, and reduce what he and others on the board considered de facto segregation in the city's schools.
His son, Lawrence Maisel, recalls, "In order to help pass a bond issue to finance the schools and, later, to win a special recall election brought by those objecting to redrawing school boundaries, he encouraged a campaign to register UC Berkeley students as voters in the city. Thanks to the new voters, plus get-out-the-vote drives on campus, Berkeley's political landscape changed within five years from a very conservative one to the liberal one we know today."
President Johnson drew on Maisel's mortgage expertise when he nominated him to the Federal Reserve Board in 1965. When Maisel met the president to discuss the pending nomination it was, to his surprise, not his views on monetary policy the President wanted to discuss. Instead Johnson was interested in the fact that Maisel had won the Berkeley School Board recall election, saying how important he thought it was to have faced the electorate in an active campaign.
While a member of the Fed, Maisel was appointed by the President to a White House task force to recommend changes in federal mortgage policies. This task force drafted proposals to allow the Government National Mortgage Association, also known as Ginnie Mae, to guarantee securities backed by pools of mortgages. It also made the successful proposal that the Federal National Mortgage Association, also known as Fannie Mae, become a government-sponsored agency, removed from the constraints of the federal budget.
These steps led to the creation of the modern national market for mortgages, where most money for housing is obtained through securities backed by pools of mortgages, whose safety is guaranteed by government agencies. Mortgage prices and availability today depend on the national bond markets rather than the strength and liquidity of local institutions. Funds are not rationed to potential borrowers because of a failure of the mortgage market to adjust to money market moves.
In addition to his work on housing finance reform, Maisel chaired several internal committees of the Federal Reserve that made a number of critical recommendations to the Federal Open Market Committee. Their adoption led to significant improvements in the committee's deliberations and decisions, particularly in better uses of available economic data and forecasts. Maisel's book Managing the Dollar remains one of the few studies of the Fed's operations based on a participant's knowledge.
Maisel was a fellow and past president of the American Finance Association. From 1972 to 1980, he also served on the senior research staff of the National Bureau of Economic Research and as a director of its West Coast office. From 1978 to 1980, he and his colleagues at the bureau conducted a detailed study of risk and capital adequacy in banks and savings institutions for the National Science Foundation and the government deposit institutions. Their report explained the danger to the deposit insurance funds of a concentration of risks, particularly from interest rate changes and also from too little attention to real, in contrast to book, net worth. They emphasized that dangerous moral hazards existed because banks and savings and loans could make risk-free bets against the insurance funds. The administration adopted policies exactly opposite those recommended, leading to the savings and loan crisis of 1985, causing billions of dollars of losses to the government.
Professor Maisel was born in Buffalo, New York. He received four degrees from Harvard University, including a bachelor's of arts (1939) and a PhD in economics (1949). From 1939 to 41 he worked as a research economist at the Federal Reserve Board in Washington, DC He served in the U.S. Army from 1941 until 1945, rising from private to captain and serving as an ordnance officer at U.S. air bases and ordnance depots. He also served one year in the U.S. Foreign Service in Brussels, Belgium.
Maisel met his wife, Lucy Cowdin, in 1939 in Washington, DC. Both had been chosen to be among the first group of interns at the National Institute for Public Affairs, a program designed to attract recent college graduates to careers in government service. Among Maisel's enthusiasms were bridge, golf, and travel. Says his daughter, Peggy Maisel, "My parents have traveled to almost every country in the world."
Maisel is survived by his wife of 68 years, Lucy Cowdin Maisel; a son, Lawrence Maisel, of New York City; a daughter, Margaret (Peggy) Maisel, of Miami, Fla.; and two grandchildren.
The family asks that donations in memory of Sherman Maisel be made to the Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley (direct your gift to any of the listed giving options and specify "In memory of Sherman Maisel" in the Special Instructions box); the World Affairs Council of Northern California; or to a charity of the donor's choice.

Israel's Electric Authority "Hack" Caused by Ransomware
Barely a month after the Ukrainian power grid has been reported to have fallen prey to the first ever malware-driven blackout, another power provider has been hit by a cyber-attack. Media outlets are quick to report the "severe cyberattack" announced by Israeli Minister of National Infrastucture, Energy, and Water Yuval Steinitz.
"The virus was already identified and the right software was already prepared to neutralize it," Steinitz noted in front of thousands of security professionals at the Cybertech 2016 Conference in Tel Aviv. "We had to paralyze many of the computers of the Israeli Electricity Authority. We are handling the situation and I hope that soon, this very serious event will be over… but as of now, computer systems are still not working as they should," he furthered as reported by The Times of Israel.
The said attack was detected on Monday, following the reported record-breaking electric consumption in Jerusalem due to the temperature drop that resulted to a customer requirement of 12,610 megawatts. In response to the attack, officials have opted to shut down segments of the country's electric grid.
Steinitz regarded the incident as an apparent indication of the weakness and sensitivity of infrastructures employed in systems used by different sectors and government agencies. It was in July of 2015 when the Israel's National Cyber Authority issued a warning that a "massive cyberattack" is looming.
As of this writing, no threat actor has been identified to be behind the said attack and no power outage in any section of Israel has been identified to be connected with this attack. However, it was reported that the incident was caused by a ransomware attack. A phishing e-mail was presumably accessed, thereby leading to a ransomware infection that spread to other systems within the network. Details have yet to be fully realized—including the type of ransomware, and the amount it demanded to restore access.

Help Bill Nye Save The Future Of Planetary Exploration
By Brent McKnight | 8 years ago
Bill Nye is something of a childhood hero of mine. Not because of his "Science Guy" persona, though that's completely awesome. Nye, and his subsequent scientist guise, got his start on a late-night Seattle-based sketch comedy show called Almost Live. They did wacky things like make fun different neighborhoods and suburbs of Seattle, ensuring that no one outside of the Pacific Northwest would ever give a crap about the show. Before Nye's experiment-performing alter ego took off, his highest profile skit was "Speed Walker," about a mild-mannered reporter who has a secret identity as a superhero who, you know, speed walks from crime to crime, catching latte thieves and foiling similar heinous acts. It wasn't particularly good, but I loved it anyway.
But now Bill Nye needs your help. He wants to you to write to the President of the United States, urging him to preserve the budget for planetary exploration. But don't take my word for it; let Nye tell you about it himself.
Proposed budgets for the upcoming fiscal year find a 21% cut in funding for continuing missions to explore space. Though NASA has scored recent successes with the likes of Cassini, the Spirit and Opportunity rovers, and, of course, Curiosity, this decrease represents a serious blow to their ability to launch major missions.
The Planetary Society, of which Nye serves as CEO, is campaigning to reverse these budgetary reductions, thus preserving the future of interplanetary investigation. In their FAQ section, they take special care to point out that the NASA budget is "a little bit less than Americans spend on dog toys." Check them out to see how you can help by donating your time or money to the cause.
And here's a video of Nye saving the day as "Speed Walker."

What is the most pathetic excuse for giving up a companion animal?
Living as we do amid an epidemic of tepid commitment and laser-sharp detachment, people routinely discard their companion animals. Some reasons - like a child's allergies or sudden homelessness - are understandable. But many are not - at least not to those who consider their animals family members, a status that is not usually negotiable.
Rescuers - you know them by the plastic airline crates in their hatchbacks, and the Milk-Bones in their glove compartments - are in the non-profit business of cleaning up the messes people make with the sentient beings they've brought into their lives. With big hearts and tiny budgets, they grit their teeth as clueless, oftentimes obnoxious owners hand over the leash - or cage, or tank.
Excuses - they have heard them all before. But maybe you haven't.
Moving is a perennial reason for dumping animals. "It's everyone's favorite," says Barbara Williamson of Best Friends Society, who polled staffers. "Nobody here can even begin to understand how you move into a place that doesn't accept pets when you have pets."
Another common catalyst is the arrival of a sweetheart. New lovers or spouses who hate dog hair or slobber issue ultimatums, and their not-so-better halves comply.
The dissolution of a marriage is a prime reason for relinquishing animal companions, as is the arrival of diminutive two-leggers. "When the excuse is that the owner is having a baby, I send her to the president of Alaskan Malamute Rescue of New England," says Malamute fancier Susan Conant, who writes dog-centric mystery novels. "She is the mother of triplets."
Yep, family ties can be nooses for some animals. Marjorie Lipson of Long Island-based Second Chance Labrador Rescue offered up the interesting approach of blaming the kids: "My youngest child is now in college - it was her dog that we purchased 14 years ago," one owner told her as he turned over his gray-faced dog. "We never wanted a dog - the kids did."
For those who have written their wills to ensure that their furry and feathered family members will be cared for after their demise, think again. "Even though I promised to care for the dog, I knew I really wouldn't," explained one relative Lipson encountered. "I just wanted the inheritance."
Avarice is predictable. But this excuse isn't: "A woman had a 12-year-old male cat she wanted us to take because 'He won't play with toys anymore, so we want to replace him with a kitten,'" says Dottie Zammetti of A Home at Last Animal Adoption Network in Brightwaters. More than one rescuer reports cats rejected because they would not sit on laps. Or male dogs tossed because they don't lift their legs.
"He doesn't photograph well in our family portrait" is so sad that it could be made up. But it isn't.
Norwegian elkhound fancier Lexiann Grant of southeastern Ohio, who contributed that one, also had this doozy: "An Akita was surrendered because the family decided to do away with their current 'Japanese landscaping' and go with a southwestern theme."
If you find it hard to believe that people can be that superficial, consider this chestnut from Barbara Sawyer-Brown, a Ridgeback breeder and longtime rescuer from Chicago: "We redecorated and the dog no longer matches the decor." As one rescuer put it, "It's the accumulated oblivious sincerity that really gets you."
People dump their bunny rabbits with such infuriating regularity that Mary Cotter of the House Rabbit Society keeps a list of common excuses. Some deadbeat owners have simply performed a cold-hearted calculation: "He's sick - we're not going to pay $50 for a vet visit for a pet that cost $15."
Debra J. White of Tempe, Ariz., started volunteering at animal shelters in 1989. "I have seen and heard the most dumb, pathetic and lame excuses," she says. "The cat meows. The dog barks."
But nothing prepared her for this beaut, delivered by a pregnant woman who was jettisoning her child substitute to make room for the real thing.
"My fetus," the mother-to-be proclaimed, "is allergic to the dog."

Financial services firms operate in a complex and changing business environment. Cray solutions are a key ally in financial risk analytics, financial cybersecurity — and outsmarting the competition.
The financial services industry operates under ever-intensifying pressure. From meeting new regulatory demands to battling cyberattacks to capitalizing on big data opportunities, firms face increasingly complex problems. And they must respond quickly, through financial risk analytics and more, to manage risk and stay ahead of the competition.
While the industry has long relied on large compute grids, these commodity systems struggle to cope with today's more complex and real-time workloads. Solving problems such as whole portfolio counterparty credit exposure calculations or detecting fraud using big data requires new techniques more closely aligned with supercomputing than commodity grids.
Arming yourself with a proven technology partner is the first step in adapting to a changing business environment. Cray brings over 40 years of supercomputing leadership to every product and solution — experience that helps you meet the exacting demands of your industry.
Risk management – Enhance risk management capabilities while significantly reducing TCO.
Trading strategies – Massively increase strategy discovery and back-testing throughput at the same time, keeping costs lower than with traditional commodity clusters.
Quantitative finance – The world's most capable accelerated systems.
Regulatory compliance – Graph compute at massive scale, revolutionizing both cost to compliance and investigatory efficiency.
Financial crime – How do you find the needle in the haystack cost effectively, quickly and without too many false positives? This is the key question for AML, insurance fraud, trader surveillance and others. Cray's graph technology enables complex anomaly detection from many data sources, moving beyond the inflexibility and inaccuracy of traditional rules-based systems, at the scale necessary to be useful and uncompromising.
Cybersecurity – Like financial crime, this is about finding needles in haystacks from many data sources. Software partners approach Cray because they understand that anomaly detection is easy with graph but tough to do at scale. With Cray cybersecurity anomalies can be rapidly spotted and investigated at lightning speed, transforming your defensive capability.
Find out how the Urika-GX system can provide a solution for trading analytics, fraud detection, anti-money laundering, cybersecurity and more.
A comprehensive approach to risk management is critical to the health of financial institutions. Yet relying on a system that can't keep pace with today's volume of data and increased performance requirements will impede risk management.
Explosive data growth – Whether you're a bank, insurer, trader or other financial institution, keeping pace with the deluge of digital data is challenging. No longer are desk-level views enough. A trade affects not just the desk, but the entire bank's risk position in real time.
Near-real-time expectations – Risk models that have traditionally been run overnight are now being built out to include intraday, real-time and complex regulatory stress tests. Traders can no longer rely on last night's risk reports, but need to pivot the complex models on hundreds of variables in real time.
Increasingly complex models – Today's risk models are larger, incorporate increasingly complex algorithms, accommodate more scenarios and are being called upon to be increasingly forward-looking.
There is little doubt that the Cray XC system outperforms a commodity cluster — but lower TCO? When you look at the details of a typical Monte Carlo simulation it is easy to see how the XC system can reduce costs. These simulations are highly parallel, employing thousands of compute nodes. But when the work is divided up each node shares much of the same data (shared market, reference data and initial conditions). In a normal architecture this means data is duplicated to each node in hard disk or SSD. With Cray's DataWarp™ I/O accelerator, shared flash SSD sits directly on Cray's Aries™ interconnect to share fast storage between all nodes. This means not only do you not need to purchase storage for each node, but for each job you need to distribute far smaller amounts of data. This and numerous other efficiencies add up to faster job turnaround times and lower TCO.
Traditional risk software architectures are highly parallel based on each core's calculation (e.g., for a particular asset) being independent of other calculation. This works well in simple situations and for desk-level risk, but as banks start to look at the real-time impact on their entire portfolio, these become very large memory problems to do properly.
Instead of each core accessing a very large-memory single node, a more efficient structure is to have a single large-memory model shared across many nodes, where each core has access to it. Traditional compute architectures do not allow this and rely on each node keeping its entire copy of the model in its own memory. Supercomputer technologies allow the problem to be solved at much less cost by exploiting shared global address spaces.
Built on the Aries interconnect, the XC series has the I/O to support data movement well beyond the capacity of commodity infrastructure, as well as the compute and storage support capacity to support tomorrow's largest risk models.
With a no-compromises architecture built to spend its lifespan performing at maximum sustained utilization, the XC series is your best bet for consistently providing near-real-time performance, without hiccups or unexpected surprises. And with an architecture that's been proven to provide near-linear scaling to tens of thousands of nodes, for a variety of applications, the Cray XC series is your best ally to support future growth.
The XC series also provides holistic performance. With its fast interconnects and robust compute capabilities, the XC series is capable of dealing with massive models holistically, instead of breaking them up piecemeal. This opens up new avenues, affording views of both the individual trees and the forests, of risk management.
Quantitative traders and hedge funds live or die by discovering new smarter strategies with a greater likelihood of winning under a wider variety of market and economic conditions.
By combining Cray's Lustre® parallel file system and the XC supercomputer with DataWarp I/O acceleration, we can massively increase strategy discovery and testing throughput while keeping costs lower than with traditional commodity clusters.
In the first case, Cray's DataWarp technology on the XC series supercomputer can share this data at lightning speed across all nodes rather than your needing to pay for SSD storage per node to duplicate data to each node. This achieves the same or better performance, but at far lower cost.
In the second case, fresh data is loaded in per strategy and is extremely I/O bandwidth dependent. Many firms have to cut corners by reducing the number of months of market data they're looking at and/or the time granularity of that data. Quants will quietly tailor the data to the IO capability of the infrastructure. This means strategy confidence is directly proportional to I/O capability.
The Cray® Sonexion® scale-out Lustre storage system enables smarter trading by eliminating I/O bottlenecks. It operates in parallel, allowing you to load terabytes of data in moments. Cray Sonexion storage enables you to scale I/O performance from gigabytes to over 1 terabyte per second.
Cray systems have been deployed, tested and proven over and over again in the most demanding industries. In fact, Cray Sonexion scale-out Lustre storage holds the current record for the world's fastest production file system. You realize the benefit of this unmatched experience in the customized software, rigorous testing and expert support that means your storage solution is simple to manage, easily scales performance and capacity and protects your valuable data.
With the Cray Sonexion parallel file system, all you have to think about is maximizing your returns.
With greater regulatory compute loads, firms are starting to look at accelerators to flatten the growing cost curve of compute grids. Accelerators are also being used more with deep-learning algorithms for trading strategy discovery.
GPUs excel at the types of computational workflows often used by the most demanding quant jobs, including Monte Carlo algorithms, Murex analytics, etc. As parallel processors, GPUs excel at tackling the large amounts of similar data these applications generate because the problem can be split into thousands of pieces and calculated simultaneously.
Built upon decades of supercomputing and HPC experience, Cray's CS-Storm family of GPU-accelerated systems are designed to reliably deliver the highest sustained levels of performance in the industry. This is significant for quantitative finance — it ensures they make the most of their investment — but perhaps most significant in that it helps ensure the system they implement will work as expected.
Regulatory compliance is the largest expense for any firm, often involving tens of thousands of people. Thanks to Cray, there is a better way.
Graph technologies can be used to revolutionize both cost and efficiency. Working with our partners, we have developed a regulatory platform that allows graph to be used at the massive scale you need.
A regulation is interpreted and implemented as a set of policies.
These policies are used to specify IT applications for regulatory reports and transaction scanning for policy breaches.
Breaches are singled out as "exception reports"; analysts review them manually, and find that many of them are false positives.
When regulations change the whole process needs to start again. And many rules refer to other rules, which can mean transaction breaches go several levels deep. That makes rules complex and hard to debug, and breaches harder to prove.
Cray works with technology partner Mphasis NextAngles to represent rules and policies as graph ontologies directly. Transaction scanning can be done directly against this ontology, and the investigation platform can be far more efficient, representing very clearly how a complex breach occurred and automatically bringing all the data of that breach together to greatly speed investigation. If rules and policies change, it is a simple matter to change the ontology so that the system is immediately compliant.
In today's world of fast regulatory change and margin compression it is this kind of revolutionary breakthrough that can make you stand out against your competition.
What do insurance fraud, insider trading and money laundering have in common? Detecting them is often akin to finding a needle in a haystack — or even a needle in a needlestack. You collect and sort through massive amounts of irrelevant data and false-positive alarms to identify anomalies that can lead to bad actors.
These systems tend to throw up a lot of false positives, requiring extra staffing to wade through all the exceptions, and reducing customer satisfaction when transactions are denied.
The systems are often batch based, so problems are handled after the damage has been done.
As attacks morph and become more sophisticated, it is hard to update the rule models.
As financial crimes evolve, analysts rarely know what to look for.
Massive volumes of data, and false-positive alarms, make identifying anomalies a challenge.
Analysts struggle to determine relationships between entities and datasets from various systems.
Analyzing data in siloed subgroups is time consuming and often unproductive.
Firms are now looking to graph technology to update old rules-based systems, because graphs are a more natural representation of complex relationships such as those leading to fraud. Graph-based systems are about twice as good at reducing false positives than rules-based systems. Because graph technology is all in-memory, traditional hardware architectures constrain good performance to models held within a single compute node. But Cray allows you to remove this constraint and fully exploit the power of graph technology.
Discover bad actors, instead of searching for them – Upon ingesting data from multiple sources (databases, logs, network analysis, etc.), the Urika platform explicitly captures and updates all of the relationships contained within the data. This eliminates the need to define or maintain relationships between entities, thereby ensuring that anomalies or suspicious activities are flagged, even if analysts don't know what they're looking for.
Ad-hoc search capabilities – The search for evolving methods of financial crime requires the ability to perform ad-hoc searches for patterns of relationships, for which graph databases are ideally suited. The ability to identify the nature of these relationships across massive datasets without portioning extends analysts' ability to identify and find bad actors.
Real-time data analysis – Leveraging Cray's decades of supercomputing and HPC expertise, the Urika platform enables a data analyst to iteratively explore and isolate suspicious activity in real time, while lowering incidences of false positives. This helps analysts work more efficiently, and enables them to discover malicious activity in time to minimize their impact.
Software partners approach Cray because they understand that anomaly detection is easy with graph but tough to do at scale. With the Urika platform, financial crime anomalies can be spotted rapidly and investigated at lightning speed, transforming your defensive capability.

Trade smarter with Cray. Balanced systems for computing, analytics and storage scale efficiently as your data — and trading opportunities — continue to grow.
With the rapid increase in the volume and sophistication of financial crime, financial services firms can no longer afford to rely on yesterday's technology.
Agile analytics can change the financial services playing field. By applying advanced analytics enabled by the Cray Urika-GX platform, firms can reveal connections in big data – connections that lead to key insights and better, faster decision making.
Staying competitive in financial services today requires more. Credit valuation adjustment (CVA) has emerged as a critical component to evaluating risk.

As Christianism Reaches Deeper Into The GOP
When you see Jamie Kirchick embracing John Hagee as a stalwart defender of Greater Israel and the coming Apocalypse, you get a sense where the Republican far-right is heading. Eric Cantor's recent speech was, however, even more chilling. Get a load of this:
"Reaching out to the Muslim world may help in creating an environment for peace in the Middle East, but we must insist as Americans that our policies be firmly grounded in the beliefs of the Judeo-Christian tradition upon which this country was founded."
Forget national interest; the point of politics is religious warfare. That's Cantor's point. Muslim-Americans are not "real Americans". Nor are atheists. And the foreign policy of a multicultural country with a First Amendment must be dictated by the doctrines of two religions (which differ profoundly on many first order religious questions). And then, in Arkansas, the home base for Cantor's "conservatism" we hear a Republican Senate candidate explain his worldview:
"When I joined the military I took an oath to defend the Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic," Reynolds said. "I never thought it would be domestic, but in today's world I do believe we have enemies here. It's time for people to stand up. It's time for us to speak out." He added: "We need someone to stand up to Barack Obama and his policies. We must protect our culture, our Christian identity."
I'm still razzed by what's left of the right for arguing that the root of American conservatism's problems is the political abuse of faith. But every day, it seems to get worse.

Blog Categories all music news You Should Check Out Nomenclature Diablerie's 888 demo!
You Should Check Out Nomenclature Diablerie's 888 demo! Monday December 17 2018, 7:42 PM
Occasionally, amid the deluge of new music and the endless procession of reissues, some truly remarkable, nearly forgotten recording rises to the surface. Such is the case with Nomenclature Diablerie's 888 demo.
Formed in Sydney, Australia in 1988, Nomenclature Diablerie was a short-lived project based on songs written by guitarist Matty Boomsticks. The scene in Sydney at the time was potent. Deathrash pioneers Slaughter Lord spearheaded the extreme metal movement, and Sadistik Exekution's emergence a couple years later set the trajectory for the frenetic and chaotic style that would eventually dominate the Australian scene.
Inspired by the aforementioned local acts, as well as Bathory, Slayer, and the other extreme metal bands that were active at the time, Matty began writing songs on his own. He mentioned to his friend Dave Slave, bassist for Sadistik Exekution, that he was looking for a drummer, and Dave passed the information along to Sloth, also a member of Sadistik Exekution. The band was unnamed until Matty showed Dave one of the songs he'd written, and Dave suggested scrapping the song, but keeping the title, "Nomenclature Diablerie," and using it as a band name instead.
Matty and Sloth rehearsed together off and on for several months and eventually booked time in a local studio to record a demo. Before recording, Matty recruited another friend, Toneye (Chaotic Impurity, Infinite Black), to handle the vocals. Although they only recorded two songs, the demo, simply called 888, offered a distinguished approach to metal that was incredibly advanced for the time. Matty's mission with Nomenclature Diablerie was to expand the boundaries of metal, laying waste to the conventional approaches of the day, while still maintaining a sense of purity in the music.
When listening to 888, it is clear that Matty was drawing influence from other styles of music. The songs on the demo are a dizzying spectacle of warped time signatures and clashing chords, but delivered with stunning precision. The second side in particular, featuring the song "Premature Cremation," shifts with mathematical accuracy, the riffs lurching and bending, mutating as the song evolves. The same innovative spirit that drove so much of the early Australian underground permeates the 888 demo. Of course, one can only speculate about what the band might have accomplished had Matty persisted, but the existence of this demo offers at least a glimpse of Nomenclature Diablerie's fleeting brilliance.
Originally released in 1988 in an edition of around 500 tapes, and pressed again in 1999 as a very poor-sounding 7" limited to 200, these tracks have never been given a proper release until now. Presented here as a 45 RPM 12" with full-size cover art, this definitive reissue is intended to restore Nomenclature Diablerie to its proper place in the canon of Australian extreme metal.

Good night last night: 278-205-267=750. First game was with my polished up Roto Grip Grenade urethane...spare in 1st, 8 strikes, then X9- in the 10th. Lost the shot second game though...oil pushed down and the Grenade was hitting weak. Switched to my sanded original Black Hammer middle of the game and proceeded to strike out, then had the front 8 the third game before leaving (and subsequently whiffing) a 10-pin (and I'm a lefty). Struck out in the 10th for the 267. Now that I have a good grip on how the lanes will transition with these new fangled machine-applied conditions, can my first 300 at Parkview be far off?
I would hope it is you that has the first 800 at Parkview, I couldn't think of any one else who would deserve that honor more.
Yesterday night: 178-148-206 2nd game I bowled poorly due to 3 opens in 8th, 9th and 10th frame on PB. Switch to Sure Lock at 3rd game.
Bought my new Hammer purple urethane ball and need practice games before leagues.
205,257,227 for a 689. Clean series. 14/14 single pins. Not much more to say.
Monday: Last week I bowled 648. Average is up to 205.
Tuesday: Last week I bowled 701. Average is up to 212.
Thursday: Last week I bowled 761 on games of 269 - 217 - 275. That's the new league high series. Average is up to 214.
Everything that was wrong with my game at the beginning of the season is gone. Bowling very well and still using the Motiv Trident Abyss.
This week at Astro Lanes I am bowling on lanes 17 & 18 in both my Tuesday and Thursday night leagues. What are the odds for that?
Monday I couldn't get my thumb feel right and bowled poorly.
Tuesday I couldn't get out of my own head and bowled poorly. I did, however, take home $281 in progressive mystery money.
Thursday I was back to my current self. No thumb problems and no fighting my head. Scores: 258 - 207 - 245 for 710. The lanes transitioned during the 2nd game for me which got me a little behind. I upped the average from 214.667 to 216.667. I also took home $65 from jackpots.
Since getting my Motiv Trident Abyss redrilled, I have taken home well over $1,000 in various jackpots.
Shot 614 last night (something like 202-194-218). Thought I just had a bad night, then discovered I was 2nd high series in the league this week...high was only 640 or so. It's gotten appreciably colder around here and I think it had an impact on the oil...seemed heavier than in past weeks and was causing people carry issues.
The Trident Abyss is simply awesome. I've been winning a lot of jackpots and shooting a lot of 700's with mine. I just picked up a Villain Scorn as my go down ball then I need something else.
