Re: [FRIAM] a real threat

[Alfredo Covaleda Vélez]

It is disheartening to know that the problems of an starving, unhealthy and
futureless humanity can only be solved sending troops. It is not a problem
of each country in particular it is about the world's Status Quo.  Each day
I see more and more signs of a kind of  dystopian world, probably similar
to that predicted by the old cyberpunk science fiction and that  is already
here with low probability to way back

Re: [FRIAM] SSD drive(s)

[Alfredo Covaleda Vélez]

There is rare hybrid  technology that combines SSD with a mechanical disc.
Both in one for device. Theoretically the idea behind these technology is
to boost up performance and increase storage capacity in one device for a
lower price compared with a "pure" SSD . In ebay you find it between 50 -
90 American dollars around  for one TB sounds a little more affordable.

Re: [FRIAM] Advice on configuring computers

[Alfredo Covaleda Vélez]

Marcus idea is good. During years I have been using a cheap Chinese SD card
as main drive using LINUX OS running on an old tiny laptop which lack of a
mechanical hard drive. I have just updated to a newer Linux distribution
and I also installed Dropbox there, so I always bring my important files.
These days you could buy 1024 GB SD for less than 50 US dollars.

Re: [FRIAM] Learn languages

When children live in multilingual environments and/or move from country to
country to face new languages they achieve to speak fluently several
languages at an very early age. I am not sure which one is the native
language of the children of my family. Maybe they have multiple native
languages.

Re: [FRIAM] Learn languages

[Alfredo Covaleda Vélez]

Despite his surname, maybe from Netherlands,  the founder of the duolingo
and developer of Gotcha is from Guatemala and he is graduated from Carnegie
Mellon and Duke. Many schools in Latinamerica, most of them in poor places,
are using  this tool to teach languages to their students. Really nice.

[FRIAM] Learn languages

[Alfredo Covaleda Vélez]

https://www.duolingo.com/ is an amazing website to learn many languages. My
mother language is Spanish and I am trying to learn Romanian through
English. It is fun. I also want to learn German and Portuguese to speak to
my nieces and nephew although they also speak Spanish and even better than
me.

Re: [FRIAM] What is an object?

I do not know if Alan Kay created the term object in the context of
programming  but he was a pioneer of OOP when created Smalltalk. These are
few paragraphs where Kay is cited in relation to the term object and
concept is explained.

Re: [FRIAM] Los "países de mierda" le dejan millones de dólares a EE.UU.

[Alfredo Covaleda Vélez]

Yes it is the second most broadly distributed newspaper of Colombia. El
Espectador is the newspaper that was blowed up by a drug cartel. I remember
It was a terrible explosion that waked me up. His owner and director was
killed by the same guys. The newspaper was closed but at the begining of
this century and because of his tradition It was bought and reopened by the
richest family of Colombia; althought the sucessors of the patriarc are
American born and they appear in Forbes list between the richest US
citizens.

Re: [FRIAM] on the obustness of globalism

[Alfredo Covaleda Vélez]

Looking at PISA results, you can see that most of today's talented boys
were born and are growing outside USA. Your current government is closing
doors to everybody, included talented ones, while your teenager's results
in Maths and Science and Comprehensive Reading in PISA tests are pitiful
considering who you are. For sure, your local talent will not be enough to
maintain leadership in new knowledge and innovation.  I guess, that 's the
risk for your future.

Re: [FRIAM] I thought Trump was nuts ...

I have listened that some members of Trump's team in the new government are
bitcoin's fans. Maybe is another fake news. I don't think him capable of
such slap against financial system, but in the end everyhing could happen
with this guy. Finally he is nuts.

Thank you. Yes, information related to climate change, Cuba and nuclear

The Permian extinction is a good reference point. During these extinction
disappeared almost all the species in the oceans and almost three of four
terrestrial vertebrate species, almost all the insects and many species of
microorganisms. Maybe Trump will be a disaster, but I am sure that he will
not do it better than Permian extinction. At least he needs to ensure to
mantain some of his buildings standed up.

Improve education.

*"These include high-performing education systems, such as Singapore and
Macao (China), and low-performers, such as Peru and Colombia". (OCDE; 2017)*
"*The problem of widening inequality remains striking in developed
countries: although Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Hong Kong (China) and Macao
(China) achieve high levels of equity in education outcomes, and while
equity has improved in the US, poorer students are still three times more
likely to be low performers than wealthier students. As for immigrant
students, they are more than twice as likely as non-immigrants to be low
achievers. In the Czech Republic and France, the impact of socio-economic
status on performance is particularly large*". *(OCDE; 2017)*

Re: [FRIAM] What do we do Now?

[Alfredo Covaleda Vélez]

Maybe Trump’s presidency and Brexit, will lead to the end of Globalization.
Movement of capitals, people, goods and services are key elements in the
actual global order. Your next president trusts in a closed economy to
improve US home´s incomes . Maybe he is supposing a local consume which
will be enough to improve internal economy. He pretends to make capitals to
return back or attract new ones to USA. But, I’m not sure if talking loud
and being rough is enough to improve economy. USA minimum wage is around
$7.95/hour while in my lovely third world country, for example, it is
$0.99/hour. I guess manufacturing in USA is expensive, even more if he will
increase the minimum wage (just a little) as he said during campaign, and
even more if he avoid some kind of immigrants, who are cheap workers inside
USA boundaries and help to reduce costs in some part of the production
chain. Maybe Trump does not understand what is competitiveness because he
is not an industrial, he is just a real estates and entertainment man. I
wonder if improving infrastructure can help to create 13 millions of jobs.
¿Where does money come from to build or repairing bridges and highways? He
has said he will reduce number of taxes and abolish some others. He
criticized Hillary because of his connections to Wall Street, and now he
chooses a former executive of Goldman Sachs for Treasure Department. ¿Where
is the difference?





Managing economy like a real estate business is not the worst part, maybe
there is a little probability he will succeed, but I don´t think he will.
Probably the worst of everything is that he has already generated negative
social impacts and probably he will make to lose US social achievements. He
has already increased local racism tensions giving steps back in the
construction of a civilized nation. Somewhere I read that the woman elected
by Trump to be chief at the Department of Education, was the first person
who transferred public budgets to private education. It is a bad sign.
Starting from his position as Climate change denial, not only regulation
will be weak, but some kinds of scientific research will lack of support.
It is bad, if factories from China will return to USA, USA will be again
the most pollutant country in the world.



He has already achieved a lose of confidence and respectful from the
«friendly world» with respect to USA, and I am sure it is a factor when
people make consume decisions (my next pair of shoes will not be wolverine
brand).



11/09 was not the break point, nor 2007 - 2008 financial crisis. Maybe
Trump’s presidency and Brexit are an inflection point.

Re: [FRIAM] Union of Concerned Scientists tackle climate change impacts to New Mexico | New Mexico In Depth

[Alfredo Covaleda Vélez]

Have a look at the book: Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet. It was
written nine years ago, but the concern remains the same. I think that
Paris agreements at Cop 21 were important but It showed that the political
reaction to a real problem is extremely low and in fact implied  a
resignation and a cynic position to avoid real and urgent changes.  But
don't worry, if the guy of the toupee becomes President, Global Warming
will become just a lie by decree. (BTW: si no se entiende el mensaje lo

Re: [FRIAM] [WedTech] Hosting Service

[Alfredo Covaleda Vélez]

I have been using bluehost for years. It is good for my needs. I am not a
"hard-core" programmer. Php, MySQL, a few javascript libraries and that's
all.

Around ten years ago I hosted in my house my site and others of my friends
but  It worried me the frequency of cyberattacks. Three in a year. Enough.
Any how, It is fun to run a server at home. Some day I will do it again but
with a firewall well configured and I will never provoke someones anger.

Neo Darwinism is well accepted here in my coordinates. Robbing and misusing

Re: [FRIAM] a week on just linux...

[Alfredo Covaleda Vélez]

I prefer the most minimalistic desktops. Not only because they use less
resources but because I do not like those fancy, colored and plenty of
boxes and icons of the last versions of Gnome, KDE and Ubuntu. I
only use  distributions with LXDE desktop. I just quit Crunchbang only
because maintenance has been finished but Crunchbang is maybe the best
distro I have used in 16 years being a Linux user. I have installed
LXLE and Lubuntu in a same machine booting from different hard drives.
Both of them with LXDE desktop. They are behaving really good.
Lubuntu's repository is better.  I just ordered a brand new Dell with
Ubuntu pre installed. It is going to be fun running Linux in a modern
and good machine.

Windows Systems will be upgraded from win 7 or 8 to Windows 10 on 29th
of July.  Win 8 is really ugly, is even worst than Gnome 3.
Theoretically we should backup our important data prior the upgrade.
Microsoft announced that Win 10 well be free during the first year.
After that, We do not know. I read somewhere that it is possible to
disable the upgrade.

Chromiun and Firefox run pretty fine in Linux. I prefer Firefox because
the amazing amount of Add-ons that can be installed and I normally use
some of them.

La tensión política que se presenta en Ecuador también se presenta en la

que en estos países no hemos sido capaces de resolver algunos problemas que
teóricamente en otros países del mundo se resolvieron hace decenios, siglos
quizás. Sin embargo, situaciones como, por ejemplo, la tensión racial y el
abuso policial en los Estados Unidos, las tensiones sociales que emergen en
épocas de crisis en países del “mundo desarrollado”,  las tensiones con
facciones radicales del Islam y de otras religiones, muestran que en ningún
lugar del mundo nuestra especie humana ha logrado verdaderos estados de
convivencia o de respeto por el otro o por la diferencia. Cada uno de
nosotros concibe, interpreta y desea al mundo desde su visión particular o
desde el rasgo que más lo define como individuo dentro de la sociedad a la
que pertenece. Aunque la objetividad no existe y debido a que la verdad es
relativa, creo que es mejor ser un testigo de los hechos que vivir con el
apasionamiento de ser parte. Por eso la ciencia es a veces un privilegio
conveniente. Para mala fortuna es muy difícil no apasionarse ni hacerse
parte.

Maybe some people is prone to the magical thinking more than others. Maybe
is physic, maybe it is cultural. Maybe it is really related to mental
processes biochemically mediated. Maybe there is a kind of enzyme of the
faith. I lack of it, of course. Anyhow, God bless you.

Re: [FRIAM] Spelling of Spanish Surnames

[Alfredo Covaleda Vélez]

Frank

Almost a a rule, I think that almost all the surnames originated in Spain
bring accent in the penultimate syllable. If surname ends in S and accent
is at the penultimate syllable, forget the tilde. But when accent is at the
penultimate syllable and surname ends in Z, put the tilde. Both sound the
same.

Re: [FRIAM] Spelling of Spanish Surnames

[Alfredo Covaleda Vélez]

Frank

The X in Ximena, for example sounds in sapnish like a J, wich is your h in
hill, for example.

Don´t forget the rules of the tilde and the accents. For example Chávez and
Chaves have the accent in the first syllable.  The Spain in América Latina,
in general, has lost difference between the s and the z, and for this
reason Chávez and Chaves sound the same. Something similar occurs with
González and Gonzales, Both have accent in the same syllable.

Re: [FRIAM] All Together Now - NYTimes.com

[Alfredo Covaleda Vélez]

Hola

I don't understand why he says that "China's growth model is under
pressure". China had been growing at a rate upper than 9% and in opinion of
economists from economical observatories in USA, China will continue growing
at a rate around 8.8% in spite of Europe and US difficulties to growth.
Maybe, USA  preoccupation  about a China's manipulation of the currency is
so simplistic and incomplete.

The referred article doesn't show a complete scheme of the global economy.
During decades Latin America remained poor being the source of commodities
for USA and Europe. Now, when China emerges as an economical power, Latin
America becomes source of the same commodities for China but this time,
richness and growth finally arrived to Latin America region. It seems that
extremely asymmetrical relations between the big brothers (US-Europe) and
Latin America don't exist between China and Latin America and it has created
a fruitful symbiosis between both and I suppose that it may be a similar
situation between China and countries of Africa and Asia.

During the last days Jim Hoffa has been in the headlines in the US media
because of his polemical opinions about some republican's moms. In spite of
this pitiful gossip, he did say something interesting criticizing to some
successful USA companies. He says that these companies are not doing well
while manufacturing in China because it increases unemployment in USA.
That's a good point, but salary in China is so cheap; even some companies
from Latin America are manufacturing in China too.

 ¿Which one if the formula?.. still thinking.

[FRIAM] Linux Mint

[Alfredo Covaleda Vélez]

Douglas

I posted part of this lines in your blog at Linux Journal. I enhance it a
little. I just installed Linux Mint 9 in my EeePC 701 replacing ubuntu
10-04. I'm pretty satisfied with Isadora (All Mint releases have had women
names). Last weekend I tried to install several distributions and it only
was successful installation of Linux Mint and gNewSense. gNewSense is pure
free software and because of this reason some controllers have been removed
from his Debian Kernel. Some of them are wireless controllers and a netbook
without wireless doesn't make sense. That was one of the reasons why I tried
to install Linux Mint. Except for sd card, everything is working fine with
Mint distro. I like the small size of packages installed by default. It
allowed me to install Glade, Geany, Eclipse, JDK, BlueJ, Dia, Ruby, Valac,
PHP and all related libraries associated to all of them and despite ( I made
a mistake in this part in my linux journal post.. my English is bad enough)
the tiny solid state disc, it still has space to install a database and
maybe other program like Umbrello or ArgoUML. Linux Mint is by far the best
of the four distros that my Asus has had.

In other old pc, a desktop, I installed Salix. A distro based in Slackware.
It's really nice and runs fine despite the limitations of hardware in that
desktop. It was what I was looking for. I like all these new distros with
environments developed using GTK libraries and are good to run in old
hardware. That's fine.

I'm developing a simulator using php-gtk. I don't know why but I like GTK
and I like to think (without a real reason) that GTK libraries are the
future of the software.

Re: [FRIAM] Semipalatinsk and Los Alamos

[Alfredo Covaleda Vélez]

At least by state, combined all cancer types, New Mexico has the lowest
cancer incidence in US (2002-2006) .  US cancer rate was 556,3/10 and
New Mexico rate was 480.5/10 (2002-2006). Highest for the same period is
Maine with 620.9
http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/uscs/cancersrankedbystate.aspx

Naturally, rates change year after year, but if you see data, it seems to be
a reduction in the incidence. Maybe there is no difference handling data
statistically  but talking about life and health one person of difference is
important.

[FRIAM] A Sound of Thunder

[Alfredo Covaleda Vélez]

Hi you all Docs. Let me recommend you to read a story titled A Sound of 
Thunder. This story is part of  Ray Bradbury's book The Golden Apples of The 
Sun. Tell me if the story makes you think in some familiar concepts.
