Home cloud computing, but will we rediscover the same old problems?

admin

I recently wrote about migrating home computing to the cloud. One of my observations about why I like the cloud was that apps started faster than an equivalent app running on my six-year-old PC. The cloud seemed to extend the life of my PC. It just needed to be good enough to run a browser. I hate throwing away a PC that just works because it needs to be faster to handle up-to-date, often bloated application software.

I do a lot of creative writing and brainstorming. When an idea occurs to me, I want to open a document and download it, now, while the ideas come up.

I didn’t like Microsoft Word, my main writing tool, because it took… a long time… to… launch. And even when it seemed to be ready for my use, I was still… doing… things… behind… the… scene: I would type and nothing would show up. at times

Instead, I can open Google Docs and can start typing almost immediately. Also, I never had to “save” the document. It was always saved for me. I have never lost anything unlike in Word where I lose a lot of work on a regular basis. Yes, I manually save with Word every few minutes – saving is a regular move I’ve been doing for decades, but something always happens eventually. Always. Cloud-based Google Docs seemed to work more intuitively (for example, no need to save, what was that all about with Word? So last decade) and faster.

However, I have noticed a recent change. With Google Docs, I enabled “Gears”. This allows my PC to do more work. It allows me to edit offline. The problem is that I open a document and then a screen appears showing how it syncs with my PC. Yuck. For! I don’t mind. I want to write. Now.

That reminded me of all the apps my software development teams had written. Every time we wanted to “start over” and make a better app, all too often we rediscovered that many of the things we didn’t like about the old software were needed even in the new software. Many relate to security and performance. Others were all those features that we thought nobody used. We want those things. They can slow down the application. Being secure and robust can cause additional performance issues. Making sure the customer gets what they want can require a series of time-consuming questions or displaying status updates on the screen.

So my concern is that as personal cloud-based apps (eg Google Docs, QuickenOnline.com, IDrive.com, etc.) mature, they will slowly become what we already have on the individual PC. Problems included. The advantage of accessibility everywhere and speed will be severely limited by security and the need for security (for example, I will not lose my job). Then we will have migrated everything to the cloud, with no net benefit, except to the wonderful people who brought us the capabilities of the cloud. Now they have our business. What a nice deal… for them. Will we be better?

I still like the cloud approach to home computing. Who can complain about free productivity apps (writing, spreadsheets, financial software, etc.) and almost unlimited storage? However, reality is beginning to set in, and like all information technology initiatives, I now see the difference between the promise and what it is actually about. Next, we hear the series of promises: “We’ll have that feature in the next version! Then it will do everything you could do on your PC.”

How many families that control money are there?

admin

Many people today have the misconception that governments print, control, and distribute nations’ money and currencies. While it is true that the government prints money, it does not control or distribute it. They also have a limited role in creating a nation’s money. It is the banking system that creates and distributes about 99% of the world’s money, not the government. It may surprise most people to learn that there are multiple families that control money in the world today. These families have the ability to manipulate prices from the fuel you put in your vehicle to the clothes you wear. These families have been around for hundreds and hundreds of years and have mastered the concept of creating money out of thin air.

You may wonder how can this be true? Throughout history, anyone can do a little digging to discover that the families that control money have done so from the beginning. They have learned to create their flow and therefore can control everything else that goes along with it. They have been around for so long that it is almost inconceivable to believe that they do not exist. One of the richest and most powerful families that is always mentioned is that of the Rothschilds.

The Rothschilds were perhaps the first family, along with their allies, to realize that they could make a fortune using fractional reserve banking techniques. When they realized this, they began to take full control of the central banks in the UK, US and France. Knowing how to manipulate the system and amass vast amounts of wealth, they also began to gain control of things like the media and even entire governments. If you look at why the US Federal Reserve was created and who created it, you will soon realize that this earlier statement that families control money is completely true.

It has been said in the past that there may be between 500 and 1000 families that have control over the banking, government and monetary systems of the entire world. This is a very difficult concept for most people to grasp, but it’s also hard to argue with the facts that support it. When so much power is in the hands of so few, the balance is unbalanced. Napoleon may have best described this in a statement he made declaring; ‘When a government depends on bankers for money, the bankers, not the government leaders, are in control: the giving hand is above the taking hand. Money has no country; financiers lack patriotism and decency: their only object is profit”.

If you don’t believe families control money, you just need to look at how Nathan Rothschild took control of the entire British stock market. During the Battle of Waterloo, Rothschild had a courier positioned to the north of the battlefield, closer to the English side. Once the battle started and it was decided, this messenger conveyed the conclusion to Rothschild before Wellington’s messenger. If the British had been defeated, the entire state of their economy would be ruined, and everyone knew it. So, after Rothschild heard the news, he took his familiar spot on the trading floor. As soon as he started trading, he started selling everything. Others took note and determined that England had lost and therefore began selling as well. Once prices began to plummet, the Rothschilds began quietly buying up everything at rock-bottom prices. The news turned out that the English had not been defeated, and by this time the Rothschild had complete control of the entire British stock market.

Around Stockholm Old Town – Gamla Stan

admin

The city of Stockholm in Sweden has a lot to offer people, both locals and visitors. If you want to go on vacation to Stockholm but don’t know what to do, there are many things you can enjoy in Stockholm. There are beautiful tourist spots, picturesque landscapes, historical sites, and exciting sports activities that we can all enjoy in this amazing city in Sweden.

Visit the famous old town of Stockholm, the Gamla stan, or what they call the Old Town. Stan comes from the word “staden”, which means city. Its name, as said, represents the characteristic of the city. It is an old town, dating back to the 13th century, and everything around it is contemporary. The streets and architecture have classical designs. Currently, around 3000 people live in this part of the city. This is a very good place to visit if you would rather enjoy medieval designs than some brilliant and intricate modern sights and structures.

Gamla stan is also the place where historical events occurred in Stockholm, including the famous Stockholm bloodbath. It is historical for the massacre of Swedish nobles carried out by order of King Christian III, a Danish king. This site in Gamla Stan is called Stotorget. Except for the site of the Stockholm bloodbath, the Stockholm Stock Exchange building is also located in this great square in Stockholm. Other architecture and buildings found here in Gamla Stan are the Royal Palace, the Noble Museum, and the Stockholm Cathedral, where the statue of Saint George and the Dragon was erected. They all have contemporary designs, especially the Royal Palace, which was designed in the Baroque style.

If you want to talk about finding restaurants, visit Den Glyden Freden. The interiors were not changed. It is still in its original state. It even got a page in the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest restaurant.

The narrow streets of the Old City were made of cobblestones, which made it more attractive to tourists. Gives the feeling of being in the old days. There is the tourist street of Vasterlanggatan, formerly called the West Wall of Allmanninggatan, which is lined with tourist shops. These tourist shops sell different types of items and souvenirs. The street is mostly crowded in summer. There is no dull moment on this street because there are always artists and musicians performing on the streets to entertain people with their amazing acts.

There is the Marten Trotzig alley, which also has a rich history. As part of Gamla Stan, it is the narrowest alley in the city. This is where the difference in the ground levels of the Old City is very important. The people of the Old City celebrated the opening of the alley in 1945, as it had been closed for almost a century.

After an exhausting walk through Gamla Stan, head to the Branda Tomten. Branda Tomten is where tourists often go to rest. There are many large trees that offer fresh air and shade for a more comfortable rest. Branda Totem got its name from the history of the place. There was a house that was originally located in that part of Gamla Stan, but in 1728, the house was burnt down. That is why it is called Branda Totem, “the burned farm”.
