Home of the brightest engineers, the coolest new technology, and the highest salaries in the world, Silicon Valley is also home of the most cutthroat competitive high schools.
Let's take a look at the schools with the highest SAT scores in the nation. Unsurprisingly, 6 of the top 20 are located in Silicon Valley: Monta Vista (#15), Mission San Jose (#1
, Lynbrook (#7), Gunn (#12), Leland (#20), and Harker (#2).
In many of these schools, getting a 3.5 GPA could put you in the bottom half of the class (especially at academic powerhouses Gunn, Monta Vista, and Harker).

doing is asserting that the "pound" is actually a unit of mass. Many
engineers will get their dander up about that, and some with hard
science backgrounds as well.
When you weight something on a
balance scale, what are you measuring directly? Now, take a balance
scale to the Moon and weigh yourself. What will it read? 1/6th of your
normal weight reading? Or the same thing it does here on earth?
And
when you're buying something, do want to buy it based on how much
inertial force it exerts here in earth's gravitational field, or do you
want to know how much *mass* you're actually buying.
Posted by: publius (not Breitbart publius) at August 12, 2016 10:23 PM (DW+jj)
There are pounds-force (lbf) and pounds-mass (lbm).
Slugs are the more correct unit for mass. Pounds (lbf) are the correct unit for force. It is convenient that 1 lbf is equal to 1 lbm at 1 g. A pound is a pound the world round.

In a certain system, known as the "gravitational FPS system". The pound, unqualified, is and always has been a unit of mass. In what is known as the "FPS system" (foot-pound-second), unqualified, the pound is used as the unit of mass, and the "poundal" is the unit of force. One poundal is one lb-ft/s^2.
In the gravitational FPS system, the pound-force, defined as the force exerted by one pound-mass at one standard g acceleration. Thus one slug weighs 32 lbs-force at one standard gravity.
The unqualified pound is, and always has been a unit of mass, systems of engineering units used over the years notwithstanding.
When you're buying something by "weight", you care about the mass, not the force it happens to exert against gravity at any particular spot. And the pound has always been a unit of that mass.

Sure, using kg or N for the "force" part of the pressure relationship is done all the time, sloppily, because the difference between the two is only a constant. It's sloppy, it's not appropriate for a formal publication (IMO), and it is especially not appropriate for a publication that is going to lord over its audience about how much of an SI snob the author is.

128
115 Kg per cm^2 has been used as a pressure unit. Again, I think the
Russians still do. It's a "kilogram-force", meaning the inertial force
exerted by 1 kg of mass at one standard g acceleration, same as psi is
pounds-force.
It's not considered kosher. The trouble is 1N/m^2 = Pascal is a tiny
unit of pressure relative to human scales. 1 kPa is still small though,
about 0.15 psi.
Now, 1 kg-force/cm^2 is about 14 psi, 14.2 and close to 1atm, and so many liked to use that.

"the Flight crew of Flight 232 should be the go to names when referring to airline pilot heroes."
Agreed. They were amazing. And I remember reading that at least one (Capt Haynes?) was wracked with guilt over those they couldn't save.
I think the line in "Flight" where Don Cheadle describes recreating the incident via simulator, putting ten pilots in the cockpit and having every one of them crash in a way that killed everyone on board, had to have been inspired by this one - I seem to recall the NTSB did just that, with about the same result.

All this fuss over slugs and poundals was just an attempt to do away with a conversion factor. We naturally use the pound as a unit of force (it's just the definition of one standard g -- the actual g varies a bit all over the globe) as well as a unit of mass.
If you measure acceleration in 'g', then the conversation factor becomes 1. One pound-force is 1 gee-pound.

I have decided that Trump is as surprised as anyone that he won the
nomination. I think he went in as a lark, things got heated and he was
having fun calling people names and getting lots of attention. Now he
has to work for the election and he seems to be phoning it in. I don't
think he's having as much fun as he was before. I will still vote for
him. I would vote for a ham sandwich before I would vote for Hellary,
but I don't think Trump's heart is in it anymore.

If you are straight salary, exempt from OT: 3 months salary / 520 = hourly rate (long baseline for varying weeks)
If you are salary non-exempt and working more than 40 hours in a week: (weekly salary / hours) + [(hours - 40) x ((weekly salary / hours) x 0.5)] = hourly rate including overtime.
That is you want to figure out the hourly rate by dividing the pay by the hours, and then computing the overtime by figuring the hours over 40 (or whatever the standard is in your state) and mulitplying that by 1/2 the hourly rate you just computed. Do this for each 40 hour week taking into consideration the beginning and ending of each week as declared by your employer.
I used to have a spreadsheet that did this for me when I put the hours in.
this is handy also for making sure that you are not being paid less than minimum wage as a salaried exempt employee

Seriously: You have a prescription, and your smartphone goes off when it's time to take a pill. A picture of the pill appears on your screen, you push a button when you take the pill, and it's all stored electronically in your medical records.
Next time you go to the hospital, they won't have to ask you what medications you take and both of you risking that you forget mentioning one of them. Add safeguards to ensure privacy and it seems like an all-around advantage for everybody.
I'm not inclined to pursue this, but if anyone here thinks its worthwhile and potentially lucrative, please develop it. I'm guessing a company like 3M would pay you a few bucks for a prototype.

But as you can see, she needs work there. Good waxing and bleaching and all that. Maybe the SO likes it like that.
Me, I thought she could clean up pretty good and would have potential with some professional help, but now that's gone sore loser and showed her ass like that, I'm done with her.

Note: part of today's fun was running the electrostatic precipitator cells through the dishwasher, which involved fetching them out of the attic, washing them, and putting them back four hours later. The attic has a high-mounted solar fan venting the "center of gravity" of the attic, and it wasn't that bad even when they were put back. Solar power may be a crock for replacing regular power, but they can be a great boon in certain applications.

Run to Walmart, purchase a $125. 6k btu a/c and a roll of duct tape. Install the a/c in your smallest room, cutting up the box and taping with the duct tape to fill the open air space. -- Just stick it in the window and close the window on it. It will hold.
Then cut the cardboard to fit and tape.

The Romans invested a lot of time in breeding "Wine Grapes You Have to Work to Botch" -- because they generally had a low opinion of their colonies' professionalism and work ethic yet wanted to drink good cheap wine. Spain got its Tempranillo, Tuscany got its Sangiovese, Croatia got its Zinfandel.....they all fermented quickly to smooth, dry wines that needed little aging and paired well with EVERYTHING.
By contrast, Cabernet Sauvignon is nearly undrinkable for 3 years AFTER its primary fermentation; Chardonnay is unpairable with beef; and Merlot can turn out to be a faster Cabernet or a medicinal, syrupy mess....from the same vineyard in the same year.

Posted by: publius (not Breitbart publius) at August 12, 2016 10:17 PM (DW+jj)
I hear you. Metric-wise, if you use SI units, the unit of pressure is a "Pascal", which is the force exerted upon an iPhone 6 placed in Roxy Raye's bunghole while she is grunting at "A" above "middle C". Or something like that.
If you are airing up your tires, 250 kPa is about 30 psi. Now I can relate to pressures quoted in kg/cm2, because I can do a mental transform to PSI. Pressures quoted in Pa, or kPa, mPa, require me to do a double transform.
And when I took physics and chemistry, we used mks units, not SI.

It's about 1900 square feet, but roughly 400 of that has cathedral ceilings and doesn't participate in attic ventilation. The attic has encapsulated batting R-19 fiberglass (had to remove NASTY, NASTY blown in cellulose crap first), then everything more than 12" tall is decked with plywood for storage. There's a 2x4 rail around this decking, and plastic fencing from the rail to the rafters to keep things from falling out.
When we re-roofed, I increased the ventilation around the periphery of the attic and also eave-end vents, relocating the solar vent to its current location.
We never feel like we're under the broiler from our attic. It was livable enough today that we could dick around with the electrostatic filter in the afternoon without feeling rushed or badly baked.

Well that's out the door, now.
There was the "Clovis first" theory, which dated them back to 13,500 years ago. No humans before that. Well, some *underwater* finds have proven humans were here before.
Now, they've found strong evidence that people couldn't have migrated across the proposed route until about 12, 600 years ago.
Anyway, they've discredited the belief that the Clovis people down from Alaska and have found proof of people predating Clovis.

There is a minor issue of the smell associated with the ozone generation. Some folk find it pleasing, some not.
At any rate, when the power supply failed, I didn't bother to repair it, but switched to a 4" x 20" x 20" 3M anti-allergen paper filter. Our neighbor across the street did the same.
By inspection, the paper filter collects considerably more dust and etc. than the electronic filter did.
YMMV, but that is/was my experience.

Meanwhile, back at the webworkshop...
I made a new video, 18 minutes, and had a three-day struggle with YouToob to get it uploaded. I thought I long ago had been verified for vids longer than fifteen minutes, but apparently not. Among other upload problems.
This, after a couple of days struggling with inadequate computerware to create the vid. (I've not had computerware commensurate with my needs since... I first bought a Radio Shack Model I in 1978! I learn a lot about workarounds, though, you betcha. Mama necessity.)
Altogether a time-consuming but, umm... educational experience. Educational. Yeah.

The difference between MKS and IS, is just that MKS. The base units are mass, length, and time. There is no electric charge, temperature, etc. SI encompassed MKS and adds electric charge, temperature, "amount of substance", and luminous intensity.
And actually it's electric *current* that is the base unit, not charge. The Coulomb is derived, and ampere-second.
And it's funny there as well. You have leeway in defining the electric force or magnetic force (which relate to epsilon-0 and mu-0). Once you choose one, the speed of light fixed the other.
So mu-0 is *chosen* to be a certain value, and then 1 ampere is defined as the current between two parallel wires that produces a certain force in Newtons.
Note there have never been any "English" electrical units. FPS systems of all varieties have never had an electric charge/current unit of their own.

I hear you. Metric-wise, if you use SI units, the unit of pressure is a "Pascal", which is the force exerted upon an iPhone 6 placed in Roxy Raye's bunghole while she is grunting at "A" above "middle C". Or something like that.
If you are airing up your tires, 250 kPa is about 30 psi. Now I can relate to pressures quoted in kg/cm2, because I can do a mental transform to PSI. Pressures quoted in Pa, or kPa, mPa, require me to do a double transform.
And when I took physics and chemistry, we used mks units, not SI.

Here's the secret; if you grow them long, and leave them long for many years, you will go bald. I know several people- white- who had really long dreads and now, in their 50's, they are bald form them.
One had a dread/ beaver tail that went down past his ass. He never washed it, and when you looked at it, you could almost see bugs in it.

That might explain it. With men, sex has nothing to do with whether one feels superior or inferior. The test for men probably asked if they had a problem having sex with women they found unattractive.

There is a "gravitational" variant, and that uses the slug as the derived unit of mass, with the pound force as the fundamental unit. Force, length, and time are thus the fundmantal units. The "slug" is then the mass that one pound of force will accelerate at 1 foot per sec^2. One slug thus weighs 32 lbs (approximately).
Then other way defines the pound-mass as fundamental and defines a force unit as the "poundal". The poundal is the force required to accelerate one pound of mass at 1 foot per second^2. One pound of mass thus weighs 32 poundals.
THe other one, which we all really use, just equates the pound mass with the pound force. One pound of mass exerts one pound-force (at one standard g). We just divide by 32. All the fuss was worrying about that extra factor of 32, and not wanting a derived unit to need a numerical constant in its definition.
These variants have never had any legal status, they've just been engineering systems used.

I have some Indian pottery shards that I collected from a tidal creek bank when I was a kid. a while back it occurred to me that I ought to get a studied person to tell me something about these things.
It turns out that UNCA doesn't have a 'real' Anthropology department, although, remarkably, they magically grant Anthropology degrees. I called over there in an effort to speak to someone, but was told that 'We're not really into that kind of stuff'. Well..., Okay.
Curious now to discover what they are 'into', I took a look at the web page for the Sociology/Anthropology Department, where I found this:
"Recent students have explored the culture of organic farming, the experiences and issues of undocumented residents, mobility experiences of women and queer people in Amsterdam and Asheville, stories of traumatic brain injury, the experiences of burlesque performers, Asheville’s pushcart vendors, narratives of resistance in the Burton Street community, female agency among Italian-Americans, among others."
Well, gosh, I'm sure the graduates of this program are well equipped to become productive, contributing members of society.

ISO suffers from the curse that most cults have -- expansion. To be ISO, you have to insist that all your suppliers bend their knee to the God of ISO as well. It's ok for some time for them to pretend, but YOUR certifications depends on maintaining pressure for THEM to be certified.
The problem with this is that you can only chase your supply chain so far until you end up with a guy wandering the wilderness with a shovel and saying, "let's try this" -- and if you tell him he needs to do so in a repeatable, documented fashion in order to accomplish ISO certification, he stops doing business with you.....leaving you at a significant competitive disadvantage to those who say, "fuck ISO with a flaming rusty pineapple sideways".

Well, it had become very hard to start, always needing a prime from a squirt bottle of gasoline, and it would not idle, no way, no how. So I took off its horribly complicated little progressive 2-barrel carb, and yanked off the EGR valve, and a large mittfull of redundant vacuum hoses. Then I made an adaptor plate out of half-inch plywood, and bolted on an old Rochester Monojet carb off some long-gone six-cylinder Chevy, probably dating back to the era when all Chevys were six cylinders.
Got a manual choke cable hooked up, the throttle cable hooked up, vacuum line to the distributor hooked up, and fuel line from the electric pump hooked up It starts, and idles, and runs quite well. I made three trips from the roadside to the burn pit hauling limbs I'd hacked off the caragana hedge earlier this week. It drives fine, for my purposes. Only issue is the choke butterfly doesn't close fully when the choke cable is pulled. I think there is residual glass bead, from when I cleaned the carb up, years ago, in the choke butterfly bushings. Some lube and compressed air should fix that.

The base SI unit is a candela, and it's actually defined in terms of a power density at a specific wavelength (green, which is the peak of human visual sensitivity). One candela is now officially defined as certain power flux of light at a particular wavelength.
To measure the luminous intensity of a source with a whole lot of different colors, you have to weigh it by some function based on the standard definition of the human eye response.

William S. Hart was the king of the Westerns during the silent era. He'd ride and shoot and fight and drink to beat them all. But, then, cinemas went to talkies.....and Hart's natural speaking voice was high-pitched, querulous, and weak.

Well, thank you kindly! It was kind of fun to do that. I will go ahead and fix the choke, too. The linkage is such that actual closure of the choke butterfly is effected by a rather weak spring, that simply can't overcome the friction in the butterfly shaft bearings. The engine seems to want some choke to start even when warm, which I suspect is low vacuum due to worn out piston rings.
I have had this truck for nigh-on 15 years, having paid a whole hundred dollars for it, and it has seen a few hours use every year since then. If I were an elite acreage owner, I'd have a $13,000 John Deere Gator to do its job.

She made fun of the way we talked, or the way we looked or something she picked out. SHe was showing us how it felt. Let that be a lesson to you.

Now that reminds me of a funny story. Years ago, before I moved out here from Calgary, I decided to go to the big June car show in Three Hills, Alberta. So I drove out there from Calgary in what was then my daily driver, a 1964 Studebaker Wagonaire, with a 259 V8, automatic, and dual exhausts, with old tired mufflers.
Anyway, I am northbound on Highway 21, just approaching the big coulee at Kneehill Creek, and starting on the downgrade. Some kids in an '80-something 5-liter Mustang pull out (across a solid line) to pass me on the downgrade. I figured this was not to be tolerated, so I put my right foot to the floor, hard. The old Wagonaire kicked down to second gear and just walked away from them. I went to the bottom of the grade, and around the bend onto the bridge at better than 100 mph, and started on the upgrade. I was now well ahead of them, and they could not catch up, even though, on the upgrade, there was a passing lane. I took my foot off the gas, and nothing happened. Kicked the accelerator a couple of times, nothing happened. Reached down, and pulled up on the pedal, nothing happened. The car continued to accelerate. I was beginning to get concerned. The speedometer was bouncing around 110. So I shut off the ignition. And slowed down. A lot. The kids in the Mustang began to catch up. I thought, "this won't do", so I switched it back on. There was a loud explosion, and both mufflers blew apart, scattering a cloud of rust and debris, and I began walking away from the Mustang again. When I reached the top of the hill, I pulled off at the Carbon corner, and got under the hood. Turns out the butterflies for the secondary throttles had interfered with the bores in the intake manifold, and had snapped past that point when I gum-booted it, and would not go back under the force of the return spring. I had to really reef on it to get them to pop back. I had had the car for some time, and had never before run it wide open, I guess.
Upshot was, I ordered a set of stainless steel pipes, and had them installed, along with some nice glass packs, and they are still on the car, and it still sounds good.

My across-the-street neighbor used to be a manager for AT+T. He retired, then started getting project-management calls. So, he's doing telecom projects. He drives an SUV.
He drives up and starts stacking shit on his sidewalk. Pile gets about five feet high. I wander over to chat. He's got about $10K of telecom gear he needs to stash in his garage because the dumbass vendor dropped it at A this week when it was supposed to be at B three weeks from now.

We, or more correctly, my clients, have been doing that for a few years. And quite successfully, too, which is why I have work upcoming. But the next well won't be frac'ed, at least initially. They will be drilling for science, and will cut several cores, and do extensive sampling, so that future wells in the area can be targeted at the sweetest spots in the formation. So, interesting, non-routine work for me.

In the past, it was everyone's dream to take a package, then get hired back as a consultant - primo double dipping. No more.
Younger kids used to want to work casual - if you were on full time staff, you couldn't get time off in the summer (bco seniority etc). Now however, the casual people are never getting work anymore, so that strategy is shutting them out.
It's sad to see things starting to swirl

Oil-related, #1. But Alberta last year, in a grand flurry of vote-splitting, managed to elect an NDP (socialist) government, a party which has caused economic disaster in every Province which has allowed them to gain power. The Dippers have moved to increase minimum wage, thus guaranteeing more unemployment for young people, and have hired many more public-sector workers, and have increased royalties on oil/gas production, at the exact time, that the bottom has fallen out of prices. Not to mention many other Socialist pipe dreams.
It's not a coincidence that my upcoming well is located in B.C., a scant mile or two from the Alberta border.

Natural resources are owned by the Provinces in Canada, except for Yukon and Nunavut, and Northwest Territory, which are creatures of the Federal government. And offshore, I think, too.
There are somefreehold mineral rights in the Prairie Provinces. To get the Canadian Pacific Railway built, the Federal government of the day gave huge land grants to the CP Railway company, including all mineral rights. This was before Alberta and Saskatchewan became Provinces (1905). CP then sold off those lands to settlers, along with the mineral rights, which were, at the time, considered to be nearly valueless. Nobody knew what lay beneath that Prairie soil...

I got about an hour's mowing in this afternoon, after I picked up all the trash I had strewn in the ditch after pruning the caragana* hedge. Mower was running out of gas, so I filled it up, and put it in the barn.
Caragana is a shrub, native to to Ukraine, which forms dense thickets, and makes solid hedges, which make a good Prairie wind break, and help retain snow to maintain soil moisture. Rarely exceeds about 12 feet high. Brights yellow flowers,succeeded by green seed pods that turn brown, and eventually pop with a snapping sound. Pods are brown now, but haven't begun to pop. Strange factoid: Johnny Cash sings about sleeping under a caragana hedge in his song "Girl From Saskatoon".

It was pretty nice for most of two weeks here. Not as cool as some would like but you could comfortably get through the day without running the AC.
That would one of the real benefits of a solar setup, being able to run the AC during the worst of the summer heat without fear of contributing to a brownout. Especially if it had a auto-cutoff and battery backup.

tonight but my mother has her tickets for both big games tomorrow night.
So there is that infinitesimal hope.

I hate to rain on your parade but a roof top solar array will not generate enough electricity to power an A/C system and normal home hotel loads. You can offset some during "sunny" days but it will cost you a fortune to do it and the average system has to be replaced after 10 years.

I have no fantasies of drawing extraordinary amounts of juice. The nature of CA's pseudo-green idiocy creates the threat that you could be without power entirely during a critical moment, especially if you have very old people to keep alive. Being able to generate a certain amount locally regardless of the grid's status is basic survival.
It's fairly obvious that if a a household array were able to really run a home with no major compromises and lasted long enough to have strong ROI, the overbearing government here would have long since made it mandatory rather than a good choice.
I'm expecting the grid here to get less and less reliable as they mandate less and less reliable power generation methods. Having some photo-voltaic capacity is going to be just part of the cost of living here if you want to get through the rough spots more comfortably or just alive.

Too late, you MADE coffee, that means you are the 1st awaker.
No going back now, Skip!
Find 17 (quiet) things that need doing before 9:00 AM, do them and THEN you can take a nap (maybe).

(Waking up at 4:00 AM-6:30 AM doesn't count as far as coffee making. I am the ONLY Awaker!)
So much so, I will FIGHT my Dad on this, for 2 hours, if he wakes me and DOESN'T make coffee.
"Don't you have to be at work or something, Deety?"
"Eh, not YET, Dad."
(Realistically, I've got 16- 24 days to go there and do the project)

From the article re the A10s bombing the ISIS fuel convoy:
"However, coalition pilots do fire warning shots at the oil convoys to signal an attack is imminent. 'We'll do that...to give them a chance to run,' Harrigan said."And we wonder why we're losing...

Had a 'niece' who was feeling especially alone, the poor girl.
Did what I could to comfort her...... life can be beautiful.
