Just some Moscow life… (Photos)


I guess the guy in the car would not get out and they are taking him anyway. Parking is an issue in Moscow and people will park on top your head if you do not watch out… 😉 But….most likely he would be in jail if this happened in America….think about it…

I think if the weather is good today? Svetochka and I will ride our bikes to the park…

Orthodox churches are everywhere in Russia. I like them…

Just some coffee thoughts… Chess or Checkers?


China and Russia succeeded in getting North Korea and the USA together. It was not easy and much pressure had to be exerted underlining against both countries. The US did its best to slip out of the meeting and almost succeeded. North Korea had to be arm twisted several times by China and then by Russia and with enough back room deals, North Korea was assured that they were protected against the, without a doubt deceit that will come from the Western Empire…

The hoopla is just that hoopla…

North Korea has had several landmark meetings with China and Russia in that last few months. Meetings that intentionally were allowed to slid under the hoopla being spouted by America and rightly so. For no truth gets out unless the agenda is present…

This is a win win for China and Russia and it is simply a step to the end goal. Exactly like a playing chess against checkers. Moves are well thought out in advance, just as they did and are doing….what with a back against the wall USA and a buffer country (NK) getting rightly deserved attention and even will get future compensation from going along with it….it is as I have said many times; Time is important and the longer the East pushes the confrontation down the road, the better it will be for the world…

The Western Empire has found itself, finally after so many many years, doing what it should have those many years ago, after it started a war of geopolitics with the Koreans. Don’t believe me, just do some searching and find out what Korea was really all about. Forget the communism hoopla, look at the real reason and as with you will see also, if you search, a Japan demoralized at WW2 and its run up, you will also see many many years of lies and deceit over the Korean fiasco….just like Libya, Syria, Iraq and so on and so on….connect the dots and you will see America playing checkers and jumping all over the place in chaos…

It is what it is…

Nothing more is needed to be read into this hoopla that we are seeing. This is part of the game of geopolitics and America is not winning. We cannot win unless we start that endless war. This Korea issue is one of long term patience by the East and that is something that America never wins at…

Always:

When a checkers player tries to play chess? The results is always long term win by the chess player…

What should we play?

Sometimes I think America and puppets even desire to play “tiddlywinks”…

June 12th is Russia Day…


It is a holiday of national unity celebrated on June,12. On this day, in 1990, Russian Parliament formally declared its sovereignty. On the 12th of June 1992, the first President of Russia was elected. The holiday was officially established in Initially it was named Day of the adoption of the Declaration of Sovereignty of the Russian Federation , on 1 February 2002 was officially renamed to Russia Day.

Another Holiday and Svetochka and I are busy ignoring the world of chaos and doing our own thing. It is holiday times again in Russia, seems to be holiday time all the time here! As always the huge city of Moscow is half empty again, for everyone goes to the dachas and it is easy to get things done around here…

Yesterday we went to a huge builders market and bought two more windows for the Tiny Russian Village home. Then we shopped for other items to work on the village home and found that life was not bad in Moscow. Everyone is gone, so we had only millions of people to dodge, not billions… 😉

Holidays and Holidays: Russia loves her holidays…

U.S. says it overtakes China to have world’s fastest supercomputer…


WASHINGTON, June 8 (Xinhua) — The U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) said on Friday the country reclaimed the world’s most powerful supercomputer. The computer named “Summit” has a peak performance of 200,000 trillion calculations per second or 200 petaflops, breaking the record of China’s top-ranking Sunway TaihuLight with processing capacity of about 125.4 petaflops, according to ORNL. It is about a million times faster than a typical laptop. For certain scientific applications, it will also be capable of more than 3 billion billion mixed precision calculations per second, or 3.3 exaops.

This kind of puts things in perspective: The unfathomable thought that one day our cellphone may be as powerful as “Summit” and held in our hand is not really that far-fetched…

“Too far-fetched to believe, too obvious to ignore.” – Nicholas Sparks

Better yet: We will all have a “Summit” in our heads………

The future is going to be such a ride…

Broken windows theory for GDP growth? (Yellowstone Big Boom)


Paul Krugman called for and uses the old parable of Frédéric Bastiat on the base that a broken window in theory would increase GDP growth?

The parable of the broken window was introduced by French economist Frédéric Bastiat in his 1850 essay Ce qu’on voit et ce qu’on ne voit pas (That Which We See and That Which We Do Not See) to illustrate why destruction, and the money spent to recover from destruction, is not actually a net benefit to society. The parable seeks to show how opportunity costs, as well as the law of unintended consequences, affect economic activity in ways that are unseen or ignored.

My question is: Would Yellowstone blowing its top help our GDP?

Yellowstone’s supervolcano is essentially a giant, lid-topped cauldron, and it’s so vast that it can only truly be seen from low-Earth orbit. Its crater is 72 kilometers (45 miles) across, and its underlying plumbing contains several tens of thousands of cubic kilometers of magmatic material.By the latest estimate, it would take several centuries for both sides of the Niagara Falls to fill up just its shallow chamber, let alone its far more voluminous deeper reservoir.What would happen if much of this suddenly re-emerged in a horrific supervolcanic eruption? Who would live, who would die – and would the United States of America survive? We spoke to one of the country’s most respected volcanologists to get the most up-to-date low-down on the future of the world’s most famous supervolcano.

What a way to raise GDP….hell of a broken window!

How miniaturized can we go?


Scientists design a molecular insulator that may make computer chips smaller…

WASHINGTON, June 6 (Xinhua) — An international research team comprising scientists from Denmark, China and America developed the first insulating molecule more effectively than a vacuum barrier, making transistors in a computer chip potentially smaller and more powerful.They reported in a study published on Wednesday in the journal Nature their design of an extremely rigid silicon-based molecule under one nanometer in length that can block tunneling conduction at the nanoscale.The phenomenon called “quantum mechanical tunneling” is the major challenge when the gap between two metal electrodes narrows to the point that electrons are no longer contained by their barriers, causing leakage current. It is a hurdle standing in the way of making transistors smaller, according to the researchers.

We already can exceed 100 million transistors per square millimeter. We will go farther and one day we will exceed our known limitations…

Intel said that it can now pack more than 100 million transistors in each square millimeter of chip

One day we will exceed the capacity of our brains in storage abilities and then we will have created the next level of life and intelligence….I wait for the day that we discover that there are smaller limitations than we physically are able to understand. Limitations that make atom sizes seem like mountains and oceans in comparisons…

I feel that there is no limit to how small is small, just limits on our abilities as we perceive things….I have always thought that atoms are made up of something else, just as our universe is an atom in size to something else…
