  • Sandbox – 1jan2018

    [Checking back to my 1jan17 post below, I can’t help but smile as I reprise that posting and again advise RR readers to prepare for a 2018 that will both entertain and astonish those of us who take a keen interest in the world’s stage on which the play of comedy and farce –  i.e. of politics and politicians – will quicken its pace.  Without an unforeseen intervention by the Almighty, the Dems will rue the day that they offered to the American electorate replays of the Trump Derangement Syndrome as their only public policy of record.  Happy 2018!  gjr]

    ***

    [Again a Happy New Year to all RR readers and its diligent band of commenters of all political shades who do their dharma battles on these pages.  This year promises to be even more exciting than 2016 – who knew that Trump would win? – if one can conceive that possibility.  Last New Year’s day (1jan16) I opened a new sandbox with these words.

    Happy New Year! to all RR readers.  This year will turn out more exciting and surprising than any of us can anticipate.  From the socialists' perspective, they are at the cusp of a victory from which they can deal a deathblow to American capitalism and institute their new economic order as part of the country's fundamental transformation that Obama promised and has already launched.  We conservatarians also see this as a cusp year, but given the disarray of the Republicans, it will be one from which a 2016 Democrat defeat will deliver little besides delaying the day of reckoning between collectivism and open markets capitalism.  So I thought it would be appropriate to start the year with a fresh sandbox.  gjr]

    Rural towns and big cities divide in their populations and prosperity.  While bigger cities have become more prosperous, smaller towns and rural communities have suffered.  The reasons are many and well summarized in an article by Paul Overberg that presents the relevant data in good graphical formats.  The piece begins with –

    About 1 in 7 Americans lives in rural parts of the country—1,800 counties that sit outside any metropolitan area. A generation ago, most of these places had working economies, a strong social fabric and a way of life that drew a steady stream of urban migrants. Today, many are in crisis. Populations are aging, more working-age adults collect disability, and trends in teen pregnancy and divorce are diverging for the worse from metro areas. Deaths by suicide and in maternity are on the rise.

    In our little county we suffer from most of the factors presented.  Unfortunately, these are data unknown to our progressive neighbors whose limited readings inform them that our problems are caused by our aging conservative population, the elimination of which will enable our return to happier days.

    America has been the victim of public education’s and the media’s politically revised history for some two generations now.  We have covered and debated many of these deficits within RR’s commentaries and comment streams, which present recorded evidence of how the Left’s revisionist history impacts public outlook, understanding, and mood.  The beat goes on in two current movies – ‘The Crown’ and ‘The Post’.  Peggy Noonan argues convincingly (here) that “we often write of the urgent need for more truth in politics. A hope for 2018 is more truth in art and entertainment, too.”  This is doubly important for our tens of millions of lightly-read voters who get what little sense of history they have from the entertainment media.  A damning example presented by Noonan is in Spielberg’s ‘Post’ that portrays President Nixon as the villain in the Pentagon Papers story, the subject of the movie.  The bald historical fact totally destroyed by the film is that the Pentagon Papers documented the horrific lies told the American people by Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, which all occurred before Nixon’s presidency and the papers make no mention of that administration.  The poor schlemiels watching this movie have no clue that JFK and Johnson started and disastrously prosecuted the Vietnam War, and that Nixon ended it.

    Speaking of presidential lies.  More of the lightly-read are all worked up on ‘Trump’s lies’ as if these have achieved some historical pinnacle in presidential perfidy.  Again, the facts of the matter are quite different when the archives are consulted instead of misconstrued.  Comparing Trump’s malaprops to what continuously came out of the mouths of his Democratic predecessors, makes a joke out of present day accusations.  I mean, presidents like JFK, Johnson, Clinton, and Obama told lies that resulted in deaths by the tens of thousands and/or changed the course of nations, starting with America.  In that category of competition Trump’s a piker.

    How come they let so many obviously stupid people pass the bar?  (… and then elect them?) The latest example is NY’s Governor Cuomo.  This law school graduate cum legal twit actually believes that the new tax law’s SALT provisions are unconstitutional, apparently having no idea what the constitution says about taxation and the states’ rights concerning such levies.  Making such ignorant and outlandish public statements for a public figure is the equivalent of an engineer submitting a design for a bridge that violates basic physics such as the sums of vector forces and moments must equal zero (i.e. balance) at all points in the structure.  If an engineer failed at that, he would find himself on the street with very poor prospects for another engineering job.  Clearly, some professions – e.g. in the law and journalism – are considerably more fault tolerant of their practitioners.

    Civil service reform is fundamental to draining The Swamp.  By my reckoning and experience for every useful and functional civil servant, we support at least four or five who are in various forms incompetent, ignorant, stupid, spiteful, petty, crooked, terminally socialist, … .  The poster-children IRS and the EPA are but two of countless government agencies, big and small, that provide employment of last resort for about two million of the nation’s otherwise unemployables.  (Paying them the same wages for just staying home would be of untold benefit to the country.)  Some of the hopeful across the land believe that reforming this Deep State branch of government might be a candidate for bipartisan effort for 2018.  I don’t see the logic in that argument, since the Dems are totally invested in such a system to not only provide a reliable voting block, but also enforce socialist policies that may or not be supported in law or the constitution.  (more here)

    [30dec17 update]  NPR’s daily Trump trashing focused on his NYT interview wherein he pointed out that there is no “evidence” of any “Russia collusion”.  For the reporters that was enough to prove the existence of conspiratorial collusion, the evidence for which is surely forthcoming.  IMHO special prosecutors should and do reveal indictable evidence when it is confirmed.  Such announcements need not stop further investigation, but they do put the accused on notice so that they can begin their defense in a timely manner.  But then again, we should do that only if we still believe that the accused is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, no longer a given under current American jurisprudence, especially as practiced in the media.

    Vaunted money managers and financial analysts blew it again for 2017.  Still have no idea why these birds are ever taken seriously.  Last January their consensus was that 2017 would be a ho-hum year with markets mostly moving sideways.  Turns out that the security markets, home and abroad, had a banner year.  Yet smart money will be on everyone in the media sticking a mike into the faces of their favorite financial prognosticators to get another load of manure on the markets.  Who says modern cultures are too sophisticated to believe in witch doctors and shamans?  For these to be believed today, all they need do is wear a suit and keep a straight face.

    Our hyper-progressive friends (actually our kids’ friends) sent out the annual summary of their ideological accomplishments for the past year.  They are a well-to-do professional couple ensconced on the beach in one California’s tony coastal communities.  Both are employed by large multi-nationals for which one of them is the exec in charge of environmental compliance (what else?).  Their moral equivalent (superior?) of a Christmas card details the politically correct list of activist activities, marches, protests, concerned consumption,  … in which they and their now adult offspring participated, at times travelling internationally to take part, all for the unquestioned benefit of Earth and its human interlopers.  The copy and included pictures are a prideful mix of a political leaflet and a self-adulation celebrating their unabashed largess derived from the hidden engine of crass capitalism which is the mortal enemy of every public policy they celebrate and promote.

    [Whouda thought that America’s urban killings would go up after the leftwing activists started accusing the police of a nationwide conspiracy to kill blacks and other minorities.  Even one of our own political leaders voiced her strong conclusion that this was the case.  Well, now that the post-police-pullback body count stats are coming in, I wonder if any of these liberal loonies will step up on the public podium and offer some contritious remarks about their role in helping blacks kill more blacks.  You can be certain that the marginal deaths of now minimally policed minorities can be laid directly at the feet of these pious progressive pricks.  Yet all we hear from the lamestream about this is the sound of silence.  (more here)  gjr]

    Shortest day of the year (in the northern hemisphere) – winter solstice, a time for all kinds of alternative belief systems to hold ceremonies honoring their deities, ancestors, dark spirits, …, and, of course, Gaia.  Here in Nevada County (lat 39.13 degrees) the sun will climb to only 27.37 degrees above the southern horizon because today the earth’s axis is tilted its full 23.5 degrees away from the sun.  (For you artillerymen who remember your hand calibrations, that’s about a stack of three fist widths at your arm’s length.)  The earth’s axis actually wobbles between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees over about a 40,000 year cycle.  That also contributes to climate change, the migration of the magnetic poles, and the wandering of Polaris, the pole star approximately at the North Pole’s zenith.

    The Seattle train wreck.  How in hell does a train engineer drive his train into a 30mph curve at 80 mph??!  The engineering solutions to prevent or avoid these recurring dumbass disasters are too many to count.  But to answer the question, one need only begin with the most obvious and telling factor – this was a government-run (Amtrak) train.  And when we combine Friar Occam’s dictum for the simplest explanation with Rebane Doctrine’s ‘When something goes wrong, assume the government is the culprit until proven innocent.’, then these explain everything from the qualification of Amtrak’s train operators to the deficits of its various management levels who design and oversee planning and operations.  Bottom line – it’s no way to run a railroad.

    Red China uses latest technology to keep tabs on its citizens.  George Orwell had nothing on what the Chinese communists are doing to nip opposition and dissent in the bud.  The newest citizen monitoring and tracking systems are being tested in Xinjiang province populated by the mostly Muslim Uighurs.  Using everything from AI-driven automated facial recognition, retinal scans, directional mike arrays, smartphone monitoring/tracking, combined with uncounted police checkpoints where IDs are required to pass from one part of town or jurisdiction to another, the authoritarian government is quickly perfecting the ‘compleat surveillance state’. (more here and here)  Much of the technology is already installed and in use in other major Chinese urban areas, and you can bet the ranch that our security apparatchiks are not far behind.  Oh, how the security vs freedom see-saw tilts.  But in the end, when the usual bad guys are eliminated, then from whose comprehensive embrace do we need to feel secure?  Not to worry, that can never happen in Amerika.

    [22dec17 update] – A refreshing Trumpian Tornado has blown into our foreign policy dealings.  Our president told the world that under his administration the US was also going to start acting in its own best interests, just like the rest of the world’s nations are doing.  And those who aren’t doing that, President Trump advised them to start doing it.  This flies in tight formation with Rebane Doctrine’s foreign policy advisories in these pages.  To wit, ‘On the world stage the United States will unabashedly act in all matters to promote its own best interests.  We have made and continue to make those interests known to all.  We invite other countries to work with us in maximizing our mutually shared interests, and will support those with whom we are successful in doing that.  We will not support countries that oppose our interests, instead, we will actively counter such opposition wherever and whenever it arises.’  (For more on diplomacy, I encourage reading Hillsdale College President Dr Larry Arnn's 'Three Lessons of Statesmanship' wherein he goes over the serious challenges faced by Churchill both at the beginning and ending of WW2.)

    UN ambassador Nikki Haley gave strong voice to that policy as she responded to the resolution condemning the US for announcing its embassy’s move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.  Taking no prisoners, the lady told the assembled, “The United States will remember this day in which it was singled out for attack in the General Assembly for the very act of exercising our right as a sovereign nation, … We will remember it when we are called upon to once again make the world’s largest contribution to the United Nations.”  Then she got up and walked out of what Prime Minister Netanyahu called “the theater of the absurd.”

    More still moving out of Kalifornia, than moving in, according to the AP.  This has been widely known for some time now by just about everyone save the local leftwing intelligentsia, who are merely doing their duty to discombobulate the lightly read and pre-educated.  The state that already houses more than one third of the nation’s welfare recipients within 12% of its population (more here) just added 300K more people last year, overwhelmingly contributed by our more fecund neighbors.  “More people moved out of California than in from other US states, but foreign immigration made up the difference.  Total net migration added 80K people.”  Anyone want to bet whether the state’s share of welfare recipients went up or down?

    [23dec17 update]  California wildfires are the latest human-augmented natural calamity that needs to be used for political purposes by the state’s command and control team led by our governor.  As argued in the WSJ (‘California’s Political Fires’), the decision comes down to spending billions on the bullet train, or properly managing the state’s forests, overgrown with underbrush and littered with millions of beetle-killed dead trees.  The state has become expert in the bait-and-switch tax/fee schemes in which it promises to dedicate these impounded funds for fire safety and management, and instead uses the monies to “backfill the budget” and spend on “high-speed rail, public housing and transit and electric-car subsidies.”  Of course, the Left’s constituencies have been well prepared for such arguments and sleights of hand, having neither the critical thinking skills nor knowledge base to conceive of anything beyond what they are told by California’s ensconced Democrats.

  • Sweeping Tax Bill Promotes Fake News (updated 22dec17)

    'You get less of what you tax more.'  Alan Greenspan, et al

    George Rebane

    This morning on CSPAN I watched the House finally pass the long-fought tax reform bill, and send the legislation to President Trump for his signature.  The Republicans are breathing a sigh of relief while the Democrats are still breathing fire.  Actually, listening to the last floor debate cum kabuki dance, it is clear that this legislation has made every Democrat politician into a liar and/or a hypocrite.  The death and destruction that they claim the new tax law will rain down on the middle class, the economy, and all the poor people in wheelchairs is countered by their own leftleaning Tax Policy Center and the Brookings Institute.

    Both outfits report that 80-90% of Americans will see tax relief, and about 1% will not.  The rest will stay about the same.  America’s small businesses that create the most jobs will definitely see benefits come their way.  Large corporations will be able to start bringing back already taxed overseas profits.  It’s hard to believe what kind of unproductive uses of cash our old tax code has borne over the years – today Microsoft has 95% or $132B cash sitting overseas, and Apple has a mind-boggling $252B or 94% of its cash off-shore.  The Democrats firmly believe that jobs are created by middle class and poor workers hiring each other, and that when those corporate monies come back to America, they will be spent for wine, women, and song in the biggest party ever for the rich.

    Cooler and wiser heads know that about $1.5T of that repatriated cash will be spent for business expansion by people who actually know how to build/expand businesses and create jobs, instead of being taxed and spent (aka pissed away) through countless other non-productive government spending programs and regulatory costs.  Everyone who has taken Econ 101 knows that our only hope for keeping the country from going down the fiscal drain is growth and more growth.  And history shows that growth benefits from tax relief, and in capitalist America growth has even occurred in spite of taxes, but never because of higher taxes.

    In the meantime, starting with Pelosi and Schumer, the Left has successfully sold the new tax law as a “tax scam” to their lamestream media lackeys who have dutifully repeated and reported the same to the public at large.  The bottom line here is that fake news is very much alive and it works.  People who haven’t a clue about what the bill contains believe it to be bad for them.  According to Pelosi, 86M US families will see their taxes increase, and 83% of the benefits will go to the notorious ‘1%’.  The bald fact is that over 47% of households pay no federal taxes at all, and this bill does nothing to reduce that fraction.

    As a measure of how effective fake news is, we read from the latest WSJ/NBC News poll, 37% Americans believe our middle class will now pay more taxes, compared with 16% who believe they will pay less (the rest answered ‘don’t know’ or ‘about the same’).  About one third believe that they and their family will pay more tax, compared to one out of six who believe they’ll pay less.  And 56% believe wealthy Americans will pay less tax, to 6% who believe they will pay more.  You can’t make this stuff up; it proves that the nation’s dumbth is manufactured fresh and anew every day when the sun rises.

    The Republicans have one hell of a job ahead of them next year to get the message out on their tax reform law; the only wind at their backs will be what the people can actually see in their paychecks and their reduced tax bill (if they pay attention).  And they better see a whole bunch of economic growth before they go to the polls next November.

    Stay tuned for the presidential siggy.

    [22dec17 update]  Well, the new tax reform act is signed and on the books.  The president did a “not fancy, rush job” signing the bill in the Oval Office with little fanfare, because there was enough of that yesterday.  It was a class act.  The Democrats are panicked out of their minds, hustling around the country telling anyone who would listen that their taxes were just raised, only the rich will benefit, and the economy will plummet taking jobs with it.  This is not exactly the way our trading partners see things.  From all over the world they are publishing sober assessments and informing their citizens that they will now have to travel on a rocky economic road because the American Eagle has had its ties loosened and will now soar again, higher than ever over the competitive world of international commerce.  Joseph Sternberg in ‘US Tax Reform has Europe Worried’ does an excellent job summarizing what the real impact of the new tax law will be.

    But not to worry.  That rocky road can be avoided if EU’s economic giants also lower their corporate taxes to launch an economic boom that will lift the fortunes of all enlightened participants.  And here’s the problem for the socialists on both sides of the Pond – they have all been selling a zero-sum narrative preaching that high taxes don’t influence corporate behavior, and more taxing and regulations are the real pillars of thriving economies and a happy social order.  Reality gives lie to both of these ludicrous propositions.  In the US, our socialists again have nothing to fall back on save the dreadful state of their constituents’ (especially the minorities) ability to comprehend, which has been achieved through their more than half-century control of our public education institutions.  The demagogury of dumbth will reach new pinnacles in 2018; for the Democrats it simply has to, or Chuckie and Nancy will be sent home in tightly zipped political bodybags.

  • A Little Puzzle (updated 30dec17)

    George Rebane

    This little puzzle recently came to my attention.  A ring of radius R is tossed randomly onto a large grid of unit squares as shown below.  The toss will score only if the ring intersects two or three squares – rings 1 and 2 will score.  If the ring intersects only one or more than three squares, it will not score – rings 3 and 4 will not score.  What radius ring will maximize the probability of scoring – i.e. compute the radius and the maximum probability?

    CircleGridProblem

    Being able to solve ‘puzzles’ such as this is a skill fundamental to solving several large classes of problems in science and engineering.  And coming up with just the approach to its solution is a critical thinking skill that should make non-techies proud.  TechTest season is again upon us, and I gave this problem to one of the very busy students I have been mentoring.  He saw the challenge immediately, went home but couldn’t put it down, and had the correct answer back to me before sunset.  I thought some of our RR readers might also want to take a crack at it, or give it to their bright offspring 😉

    [30dec17 update]  Thanks to Mr Don Carrera of Irwin, PA for his detailed workout of the problem’s solution.  In subsequent private communications I promised to make available to readers both his solution and mine in PDF formats.  Mr Carrera has also demonstrated that his solution and mine produce identical numerical results.  Here are the downloads for Mr Carrera’s solution, and my solution.

    George Rebane

    Programming was women’s work.  The WSJ has been running a series on the history of women in technology, and their being “pushed out” in the years following WW2 (more here).  During and after the war women were the workers who ran the early computers of the day and also programmed them.  Programming was then considered a kind of clerical work best suited for the fair sex.  This all brings back some interesting memories from my early engineering career.

    WomenProgramming_c1950

    In the mid-60s I was a young engineer, fresh out of the Army, working in aerospace, going to grad school, and raising a family with small children.  My employer was Singer-Librascope, a big defense contractor based in Glendale that was a major supplier of the Navy’s shipboard combat systems (specializing in nuclear submarines).  I worked in their bleeding edge R&D department where we were inventing new things every week, prototyping them for shipboard testing, and then analyzing the data from the test ranges and secret missions before incorporating some of the findings into the newest systems.  Pretty heady stuff that set the direction for the rest of my career.

    During that time engineers were supposed to derive new algorithms from applicable science that would be incorporated into the Navy’s weapons and the systems that fired them.  We had equations and models coming out of our ears.  The company’s mainframe was the mammoth CDC3300, that computer took up the floor space of a small cafeteria and handled everything from accounting, inventory, and engineering.  Programs were coded (and stored) on punched cards and magnetic tape, and the output came back to you on reams of tractor feed paper.  Each punched card represented one line of Fortran code.  The company also maintained state-of-the-art keypunch and programming departments, these were ‘best practices’ at the time.

    Engineers were required to coordinate with programming to get one or two programmers assigned to your project.  Programmers were all men, with a few women left over from the old days, to whom you explained the equations and the algorithmics you had in mind, and they would write the code.  Then you would go through laborious debugging, and finally specify the data runs that you had to make.  You could plan on two runs a day, and perhaps a third overnight if you talked nice to the computer people.

    The programmers actually wrote down the lines of Fortran on 80-column sheets, precisely denoting where every character would go.  Then these sheets would be handed to the key-punch department that was staffed by all ladies (everyone knew that typing was women’s work) who would return a stack or boxes full of Hollerith formatted punch cards.

    This was a long and laborious process, and in our department we young Turks soon took matters into our own hands.  All of us quickly learned Fortran, had a keypunch set up in our office area, and ‘fired’ the programming and keypunch departments.  Over time other engineering departments did the same, relegating the programmers to do Cobol programming for accounting, payroll, and inventory tracking.  The good programmers quickly left – going down the street to Disney where they started its Animatronics division – and from then on, all engineers did their own coding which became even easier when remote computing arrived (around 1970) that allowed us to write and upload both Fortran and Basic programs and get our output on teleprinters.  We now could make an unlimited number of runs per day – debugging became a breeze. 

    Estonia_internetA significant number of women started coming back to technology in the early 70s.  We then wound up with three degreed female engineers, but learning to work with them in a free-wheeling take-no-prisoners technical environment presented new challenges.  Technically they were our peers, but the ladies still had to be handled with kid gloves during project review meetings, and no-holds-barred technical critiques.

    All this happened when men and women were still different, and before we all were mandated equal in the workplace.  That is until today, when we are again not equal in the workplace, and working with them, men again have to walk on eggshells lest … .

    *****
    We had a more recent technology related experience this summer when Jo Ann and I took our grown daughters to Estonia to experience the country, visit the ancestral farm, villages where my parents grew up, and my grandparents’ graves.  I have described my native Estonia as a small country on the Baltic that is acknowledged as perhaps the most advanced in its development of internet technologies and the adoption of these into its governance and the lives of its citizens.  (more in My Story)

    To update these developments, I want to share a current article in The New Yorker that was sent to me by a reader and correspondent.  Entitled ‘Estonia, The Digital Republic’, the piece describes the most recent leap forward in implementing e-Estonia through a bevy of new online services and functions available to everyone from consumers and entrepreneurs to government administrators.  In Estonia broadband is ubiquitous, and everyone conducts their daily affairs on their smartphones, pads, and laptops.  As the leader in providing automation and utilizing the internet, that little country serves as a beacon as it demonstrates the art of the possible to more cumbersome larger countries like the US, and most certainly to technological backwaters such as own progressively punished Nevada County.

  • CAG’s Draft Pot Ordnance Examined

    [The following email from Bob Hren, Nevada County Republican Chairman, was sent this morning.  In it Mr Hren comments on what the Community Advisory Group recommends about the number of marijuana plants to be permitted on various sized parcels.  It is posted as received.  gjr]

    All,

    The draft pot rules just released put Residential-Agriculture parcels into the same category as general agriculture, exclusive agriculture and forest lands.  There is no distinction for R-A "Estate" parcels located closer in to the cities, vs R-A "Rural" as in the present code.  Many neighborhoods will now go from prohibiting all outdoor grows to allowing commercial grows up to 100 plants (10,000 square feet) per 5 acre parcel.  Up to 25 plants in 2-5 acre R-A parcels.  In addition, in residential zones, outdoor personal grows of 3 plants if under 1 acre, and 6 plants if over one acre are allowed.

    This is the worst possible outcome.  I will be fighting it.   And you should, too.

    The CAG process was manipulated by the consultant to the exclusive benefit of the growers, ignoring many comments that were submitted from the public.  Many of the CAG members, I believe, will be also outraged by this result.  As will the public, in my opinion.  But, unless you express your outrage, this will be approved in our county.  Dead skunk odors everywhere.  What a nice place to live!

    Bob
