Live by the rules. Hopefully, not.

[Western version]

Hm, you wanted to live by the rules …? Hopefully, not in this way…

Next question would be: On what principles would you decide which rules to follow, and which not [so much] ..? Wouldn’t that constitute deeper and/or pre-existing moral/ethical principles? What and where’s the real instruction value ..?

But then, of course:

To invent, and/or be Belgian.

Hm, it struck me that one would better not be Belgian when inventing stuff.
This guy invented the Internet – and was all but forgotten; so many others were bestowed the fame.
These guys predicted the closure of the Standard Model – and the particle was named otherwise.

This guy, at last (actually, first), achieved fame for his invention. … Hey, there seems not to be any link on the ‘net to that great man Vanderslagmulders the inventor of the spare tire …! Oh did these fellows get credit again. There goes my argument. Or not even.

So, for closure:
??????????
[At the heart, somewhat relevant]

Ah. AI, here it is.

I wondered before on what the … Google would be up to in terms of Artificial Intelligence. Here‘s some news on that.
Some. As I believe this is only a side show to throw us off.
Surely, there must be much, much, much more in the pipeline…

Anyhow, here’s:

Wired / Tired / Expired, June 2014 edition

DSCN5735
[A mixed bag but me know nothing, I’m from Barcelona Madrid]

So, here’s the June edition of my Wired / Tired / Expired jargon watch overviews, a mixed bag:

WIRED TIRED EXPIRED
#ditchcyber APTs Cyber! Cyber! Cyberthis, cyberthat, cybereverywhere
Most certainly, this is still W.
Maybe shouldn’t have been. But is.		 They were meant to be here to stay.
So they do.		 There’s even an interesting popular song about this!
Mind-controlled bionics / Sensors (tie) IoT / Wearables Weaponised drones / Drones for deliveries
Once these get sorted out, we’re all doomed. Because we’ll not prep our society in advance of quick enough. Fact, from history.
After this, Fukuyama will be right after all.		 All talk, no full-scope delivery. Laggerd panic, these ones.
White asparagus Green asparagus Noma
The ultimate, from the Aragon to Holland reach. Underestimated, neglected, by those who don’t know the product well enough. Not ‘the’ asparagus. Just the typical second choice. Eat your own ants. Exposure of decadence.
Drought in CA CO weed LGBT =
After the tiny snow pack, drought throughout CA and neighbouring states. See the panic. Dude, relax! Done deal, mellow! Equality spreading, overdue, now an unstoppable avalanche. Hence E.
BnpzKOsCMAAQYBm NAkjglc h626FCB52
In its lens- and other forms. Yes there’s innovation in there …! As Coin, still under W, though Overused

OK, any suggestions for next month’s edition ..?

BBQ science. Just like science.

OK, you do actually want to read this and this, side by side. Gas or charcoal. Or both or neither.
And conclude. It’s all about science…

OK, and to conclude:

Car industry development

It seems that famous T may be in for some competition. Serious competition, when these qualifications come true in the real world.

088_BMW_i8-new

There’s of course various ways this might work:

  • Big Motor – the Germans, Asian, French/Asian, not so much the classical US ones ..! – puts out some half-lame trials to confuse the markets and destroy the startup T. Happened before with DeLorean, remember?
  • The same, now gets into the game for realz, and wipes out Fisker first, and then famous T. “Thanks for creating the market, off we go and leave you in the dust”;
  • The same, try but fail. The ideal scenario, but hopefully the true one. And hopefully, other small-time startups will follow suit otherwise we’ll be back with one big Ford T company again.

And, could we change the designs so they’ll be more Karma’esk instead of cheesy early-’80s-like ..!?

Wired / Tired / Expired, May 2014 edition

DSCN1125
[Symbol of …, still in T or moving into E ..?]

So, here’s the May edition of my Wired / Tired / Expired jargon watch overviews:

WIRED TIRED EXPIRED
Small wine appellations (see below) Microbrews Quasi- but very failed hip beers from global brand breweries
For the discovery of them. See below Most are technically drinkable but no more than gimmicks in taste. Awww, they’re as hip as LOLcats!
French, Italian, Spanish (very) small appellations Eastern European wines New world wines
Côtes de Toul, for one. Various Savoie sub-appellations. Knowing your way around Italy’s appellation-per-village / -anthill landscape. The many (sub)regions in Spain. The better quality Luxembourg reds (and whites). Try them, and be begeistert! (Oh, German – still ever so tending to over-sweetness… jammie US/Aussie taste failure) The very few good ones, they keep for themselves. The easy currency inflow, they dump on us. [Sigh] Apart from a very few, still very boring, boorishly simple.
Teen Twitter Terror Threat Bugs like Heartbleed Snowden et al.
Because the panic. By one tweet. Out of …? What if (among) the others (there) are encoded similar ones..? Dude, that’s sooo 1980-2013 (give or take some years); self-referential. From the Eastern front, no news. (Unless one would count the many same messages and very, very long spun out aftermath. Tire to kill ..?
Back to the absolute multi of multimedia Game of Thrones Mad Men
Back to the explosion of formats to communicate through; i.e., not only social media but all forms blended, off-line, online, text, video, paper, F2F, just anything, mixed ad hoc. Frantically searching for the right format – per sound bite. Yeah, yeah, just kill eachother already. Might have stayed fun when it would have some actual history. The mehhh of series.
Home cooking Street food French. Or pure Thai.
Because, if (!) one can, this is best, in quality of ingredients and control to not have the bad ones of those (e.g., salt… light if any, not tons to extract flavour from bland wholesale stuff). Pure Markets, hipster cooking vans, et al. Watch out, the hoi polloi of wannabe classy but middle-aged mediocre-minded drones are picking up and overflowing the area with passive-agressive bitchiness..! There’s so much more specialised kitchens – that actually are purely themselves, not still simpled-over-to-fake(!)-narrowminded-average tastes.
Home garden vegetables Bio (-dynamic / organic) veggies Plain supermarket veggies
The purity – of pleasure in seeing them grow, in nurturing. Passive-aggressive B12-insufficients, couldn’t feed the tiniest part of the world population if they’d try to roll their methods out beyond their little kindergarten acre. Semi-purified water, supplemented with E-numbers to add flavour.
OK, one more for this month, on the tech side:
Software Defined everything Managed security services SIEM / IAM
Because abstraction is good for business; mixing less under-standing, less overview and more complexity and (hence) much error-proneness (if that is a word). If they weren’t managed already, move over to Little League / Internal or external, what’s the difference ..! (fundamentally) Process nay procedures infrastructure driven by erstwhile point solutions. Yeah, baby, fire up the klesydra!
And a final one, to throw it in here by lack of a better place
Google Now Siri Dragon
Going strong, and working Joked about often enough. May have started to work i.e., not too little anymore, but too late. Same, big time; desktop oriented hence mehhh.

OK, any suggestions for next month’s edition ..?
