Overnight Open Thread 8/18/2015 (tmi3rd)
Good evening, everyone... running a little late this evening. Let's get to it...
More below the fold...
How Art Became Irrelevant
For a generation or more, the American public has been thoroughly alienated from the life of the fine arts while, paradoxically, continuing to enjoy museums for the sake of sensation and spectacle, much as it enjoyed circuses a century ago. The public accepts that it has nothing important to say about who we are, though it does occasionally rouse itself when something is at stake that does reflect our collective values. When Daniel Libeskind proposed rebuilding the World Trade Center in the academically fashionable deconstructivist style, the public outcry resulted in his being replaced and the construction of a sober and dignified tower. A similar outcry has delayed the building of Frank Gehry’s perversely anti-heroic memorial to Dwight D. Eisenhower, which might yet be realized (never underestimate the power of bureaucratic stealth). But these are exceptions to the pattern of a dormant and indifferent public. This estrangement has been a disaster for the arts, which need to draw inspiration from the society and culture that is its substrate. It is a myth that an art withdrawn from the realm of public inspection and disapproval is a freer and superior art. The impulse to evade censure can inspire raptures of ingenuity. (The passage of the prim Hays Code in 1932, which led to four decades of censorship in Hollywood, increased the sophistication and wit of American films by a magnitude.) We hear much about art enriching the human experience, which is an agreeable platitude. But it is the other way round. The human experience is needed to enrich art, and without a meaningful living connection to the society that nurtures it, art is a plucked flower.
I'd add something to this from the performance perspective- there aren't a whole lot of new works out there that create new heroes for us to get behind and define childhoods by (does anyone really think of Ana and Elsa as the Luke Skywalker or Han Solo of this generation?). So much of new productions of operas, musicals, movies, et cetera, are aimed at showing us what an evil country the United States is, as opposed to giving us people who are without question the Good Guys.

By all means read this. The blogger intended that title to end with a question mark, and answers that question "no".
Eisenhower seems most proud that he saved Iran from Mossadegh: who began his term as Iran's Peron and, many feared, would continue to become its Castro. True, a generation later, Iran fell to someone even worse but that wasn't Eisenhower's fault so much as the fault of Bunny Boy.

No longer an insanity limited to college classrooms, this madness has extended to the greater mob. Tolerance, which had been the rallying cry against civilizations norms, mores, and folkways, is now eschewed in the name of some adjective-qualified "justice". You will be made to care. You will be made to applause. You will be made to validate with enthusiasm.

For most of history artists have relied on the patronage of wealthy men or rulers (which were usually one and the same). Those patrons weren't too keen on being told how horrible they were.

Nate Silver thinks the chances of a nominee not being made during the primaries is around 80%, if I understand his point properly. If he's right, that means the convention (and its Rules!) will be important for the first time in my memory.
Basically, the group thinks we will have to contend with a very angry donor class from Thanksgiving through the early part of the primary season, followed by resignation and deal-making. Interestingly, they think Kasich is faking moderation (and that he's really a conservative in disguise), which I'm having a hard time believing, and they think Cruz scares the party power structure.

Yeah, we did some tech work for him at the store where I worked in New Orleans. The man is downright NEUROTIC about his sound- he can tell the difference between batteries- but even when he wasn't happy about something, he never took it out on his crew. Patient as all get-out, and all too happy to talk to all of us about the business and how to make things work.

Yeah, we did some tech work for him at the store where I worked in New Orleans. The man is downright NEUROTIC about his sound- he can tell the difference between batteries- but even when he wasn't happy about something, he never took it out on his crew. Patient as all get-out, and all too happy to talk to all of us about the business and how to make things work.
One of the most impressive people I've ever met in the business, by far, and someone I'm very grateful to have spent some time with.

That song is just depressing. Would much rather hear "Carry On Wayward Son" (even if it is for the 9,000th time) or "Fight Fire with Fire," or even "Point of Know Return" (not great but at least upbeat; Kansas always seemed to be trying to bridge the gap between Queen and Styx with some spiritualism thrown in for good measure).

I like (but don't love) "Don't Fear the Reaper," no matter how much cowbell you add on. OTOH I really enjoy "Burnin' for You" (a song I personall wish I could perform for every women who ever burned me), and their more obscure 1980s hit "Dancin' in the Ruins" (a love song to nihilism; I don't agree with it but dang it's catchy).

My previous experience in this was in a sort of "just in time" manufacturing that turned into "never quite on time or in sufficient quantity" but it did serve as a pretext to "Scream at Kindltot a lot", so for some participants it was a raving success.
What has your experience with LEAN been?
Posted by: Kindltot at August 18, 2015 11:24 PM (3pRHP)
If you have workcenters that can pivot to different tasks easily, you can use various LEAN concepts to ensure that shrinkage and waste is efficiently swept from your shop floor. If, on the other hand, your workcenters are highly optimized towards one task each, you're going to end up with a lot of "line down" time and yield issues.

I just started cracking up when I saw Slapweasel's take. There has to be a way to take this pretentious song down a few notches. Weird Al prolly hasn't done a version because he can't get the OK from Rose. As you might know, he normally seeks the original artist's blessing before he writes. All the more reason for proles like us to screw with this song. It's not a particularly difficult one to mess with.

After having tried every single flavored vodka ever made, I have created a comprehensive list of those worth buying:
1) Smirnoff vanilla. Mixes well with coke or ginger ale.
2) Deep Eddy Lemon or Grapefruit. Mix with club and a lime. Yes, it's from Austin, so it's probably made by neckbearded hipsters fuck knuckles, but it's a damn good booze on a hot day.
3) There is no 3. That's the whole list.

That was worthy of a spit take.
And all this talk of Golden Earring makes me think that I rather like Dutch rock bands of that era. They had a "screw it, let's just go for it" quality. Focus is especially strong that way. They did one hell of a lot more than just "Hocus Pocus". Mariska Vares (Shocking Blue) had a rather interesting voice.

If you have workcenters that can pivot to
different tasks easily, you can use various LEAN concepts to ensure that
shrinkage and waste is efficiently swept from your shop floor. If, on
the other hand, your workcenters are highly optimized towards one task
each, you're going to end up with a lot of "line down" time and yield
issues.
Posted by: cthulhu at August 18, 2015 11:44 PM (EzgxV)
I love the concept because I hate waste and dicking around participating in someone's power/control fantasy-cum-OCD therapy, but I am really concerned that it will prove un-workable because servicing someon's power-control-OCD needs has become the ultimate reason for existence.
That section was better than the inspirational speaker who was using Scientology terms in his speech, and on questioning, was completely unaware of Scientology terminology.

Never did try AM. Figure either another rejection, or a worldwide celebrity. Neither of which appealed to me then, or now.
At least, those are the reasons I used to convince myself never to register there. I know what the skull and crossbones sign means outside of a minefield. Got the same vibe from the whole AM thing. So, pass.
That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.

And also yes about Golden Earring. Here's an example of a song from "Cut" that I don't think was released *anywhere* as a single, but IMHO it mostly works. The worst thing I can say about it is, it sounds almost as if the band couldn't decide to record something of an arena rock love song, or more of hard-charging macho riff, so you get *both* in the same track.

This..... is horseshit.
The Secret Service's REAL mission is to protect us from counterfeit money... the Body Guard stuff was handed to them because the FBI was not trusted under Hoover...
Now, the Sec Service does Wire Fraud, and has one of the best Data Forensic and anti hacker shops in the world.... so they can go after said wire fraud.
Agents all start with the SAME TRAINING... thus they know the laws... and a bit about both security and DATA security...
Yet they stood by, and watched her perpetuate numerous Security violations without saying a word... to ANYONE including their own Bosses???
I don't buy it for a second.
The Obama admin KNEW what she was doing... Agents KNEW what she was doing... her IT people KNEW what she was doing... her STAFF knew what she was dong....
And anyone who got a F'n email from her NON government email address SHOULD have knows...
yet no one said a thing????

Heh. I once sat in the passenger seat of an RV while the driver got up, walked back to the fridge, obtained a beer, and then reassumed the driver's seat. All at 70 mph rolling down I-75.

Here's a classy way to help with a small, but quality laugh. Think of a down-home, colloquial word or manner to describe her. Check the thesaurus and find another quality word.
Here's the "line":
"I would have called her 'X', but I did some reading and some smart people would have called her 'Y'. I believe she deserves the upgrade."
It can also work in reverse...
"The hoi-polloi may have called her 'X', but she'd be right down-home with 'Y'."

Dropping a keylogger on someone is among the blackest of black malware. It is very nasty and very difficult to detect. I was lucky/wildly paranoid -- I had been doing a "heartbeat" ping from A->B over a number of days. This proves that you can send from A and receive from B......but in the real world it means you have ownership of A but a persistent B connection. When I tried to do a heartbeat from B->A, it failed -- which meant that I didn't have ownership of B with a persistent B connection. When I investigated B's ownership, I couldn't remember/had it captured/had it cracked the password to my admin account, so I forced it -- and lodged a complaint about giving out my admin credentials.....and when I got a response that only authentic Admin over B were used, I knew Admin had been compromised -- which, like the classic "get out -- the phone calls are from inside your home!" changed the scene.
If you know you have a keylogger, you need to shut down internet access for all of your accounts. The best way is to show up in a branch, proffer ID, and request it. You shouldn't enable internet access to any accounts before you've done some security work.

Birdstrike could crack windshields ...
Birds, or zombies, going thru the engines can cause flameout, but usually {high altitude} can get restarted. Metallic debris that damages turbine blades, not so much.
Birds through BOTH engines just after take off left little room and no time to restart engines, hence the glide into the Hudson ... iirc ...

Ayn Rand nailed this PERFECTLY:
"Art is a selective re-creation of reality according to the artist's metaphysical value-judgements"
Says much about:
(1) What passes for art, and;
(2) Who "enjoys" it, and why.
BTW, every word in that definition is significant.
