It appears some big data projects are finding that they can afford to collect data, but the expense of processing that data can be daunting. My company is heading down the road of analytics. They all hope to make something out of knowing everything about us. I just don’t think all that data and all that analysis and all that inferring and all that worrying about it are going to add up to the essence of making money. It seems a lot of people think this effort will lead to the holy grail sales and marketing. I just don’t see it myself.

Greece will bring down the EU if Germany doesn’t just out and out save them and keep saving them. Obama care is a mess, but will get much worse after some fixes. The world economy is imploding. The problem with the world economy is there is no one else’s money to spend. Once you have it all, that’s it. you find out that if you just print money at this point, it just slices the pie thinner.

There are live interviews with people on the street who cannot get money out of their ATM. Some people can’t get anything to eat because they don’t have any money. Some say they will have nowhere to sleep after the end of the month. It is bad news all round for the people.

If you own the words you own the thoughts. Destroy family and the government becomes your family. Destroy religion and the government becomes your religion.

New evidence in the Freddy Grey case. If only I knew what it was. If I were the cops, I would have hidden cameras in those suspect hauling vehicles. Wouldn’t that be some shit? What if the cops had clear video with audio of this guy deliberately banging his head against some metal wall or bolt or whatever. That would be a game changer.

Returning to Vietnam. Well, not really. It is a full blown brand new cluster police action we are getting in to.

Some good news for goodness sake.

F-35 just as good as an F-16. Wait a minute. ... Well, how much more maneuverable can you get before the pilot is just a puddle between the foot pedals?

Chemical weapons in Syria. This is going to be very bad. This time it will be the real deal. Full on chemical war. President Obama need to take a lesson on people who say one thing and do another.

I got hibernation working on my laptop. This may not seem like a big deal to people on Windows and iOS, but in Ubuntu Linux, it was a bit of a chore. I was googling and looking for a good way to make it happen when I found a wiki at my work that just had the answer. It works well. The reason we want hibernate and not just sleep is 2 fold. 1) Sleep eats your battery. 2) Hibernate requires logging in to disk encryption before you get back in to the computer. Hibernate is far more secure.
