Today’s flavor of capitalism is increasingly about the flow of data and arbitrage determined by who has it,who doesn’t and the who can process it.

The Blockchain and us (2017)
While I see Bitcoin as a game changer for Fintech, the blockchain is the real revolution.
Heart Beat shell script
I use this script to get alerts from some systems to insure they are still up. It gives me local IP address, hostname and the WAN IP for the network.
#!/bin/sh
IP=”$(ip addr | grep ‘state UP’ -A2 | tail -n1 | awk ‘{print $2}’ | cut -f1 -d’/’)”
IP2=”$(curl ifconfig.co)”
HST=”$(hostname)”
CN=”$(curl ifconfig.co/country)”
CT=”$(curl ifconfig.co/city)”
HST=”$(hostname)”
echo $IP2 > /tmp/$HST
echo $IP >> /tmp/$HST
echo $CN >> /tmp/$HST
echo $CT >> /tmp/$HST
/usr/bin/sendemail -t info\@mydomain.org -f hb\@mydomain.org -u “HB from $HST” -s smtp.server -o message-file=/tmp/$HST;

There are 3 areas of Physics.
- Applied physics is physics which is intended for a particular technological or practical use. It is usually considered as a bridge or a connection between physics and engineering.
- Experimental physics is the category of disciplines and sub-disciplines in the field of physics that are concerned with the observation of physical phenomena and experiments. Methods vary from discipline to discipline, from simple experiments and observations, such as the Cavendish experiment, to more complicated ones, such as the Large Hadron Collider.
- Theoretical physics is a branch of physics that employs mathematical models and abstractions of physical objects and systems to rationalize, explain and predict natural phenomena. This is in contrast to experimental physics, which uses experimental tools to probe these phenomena.
I fall into the first area, Applied Physics and partially the second, Experimental. I fall into those areas because I need to be able to repeat my findings and expect them to remain the same. Any change is an indicator that the system has changed.
Theoretical physics is sorcery.
Still interested in College ? Study either liberal arts, biotech or a robotic engineering.
if you you still interested in college for yourself or advising someone else, then take
- Liberal arts where you study human nature
- Biotech as we are still carbon based entities

Unmanned U.S. Air Force space plane lands after secret, two-year mission
Very Impressive……Very impressive !!
The U.S. military’s experimental X-37B space plane landed on Sunday at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, completing a classified mission that lasted nearly two years, the Air Force said.
The unmanned X-37B, which resembles a miniature space shuttle, touched down at 7:47 a.m. EDT (1147 GMT) on a runway formerly used for landings of the now-mothballed space shuttles, the Air Force said in an email.
