Just think about what a disappointment Bitcasa has been within just three short years. That Bitcasa prefers corporations over us personal users is apparent in their landing page at My account probably makes no difference to their bottom line so I am sure that they won't even notice that I am no longer a customer.ĮDIT: Watch this video and this video of Bitcasa's presentations at TechCrunch in 2011. I am positive that they are simply thrilled that I canceled my service with them because they probably want more corporate customers and personal customers who have just a few gigabytes of data. Well, today, I canceled my service because a company that mistreats early adopters who entrust said company with their data, is a company that really should cease to exist. I figured that eventually, their implementation would catch up with their concept. I wanted them to do well because they were a startup trying to do something that nobody else was doing. ![]() I still kept my account with Bitcasa because I liked their fundamental concept (of using AI for predictive caching) and wanted to support them.

The beauty of working at Facebook is we hire engineers who are passionate about implementing world class technical solutions and thus they actually want autonomy over deciding the technical details. I see my role as working with engineers to set a product vision and define what to build but less so how to build it. The people I spend the most time with on a daily basis are engineers. Parth Detroja: So, it depends on how you define technical. These range from algorithmically finding the best parts of songs so users can quickly find the snippet they want for their story, understanding the beat of a song so we can apply beat-based visual effects, and just generally showing users relevant music which they are most likely to want to share.

![]() In A CRAFTSMAN'S LEGACY, host Eric Gorges goes on a quest to discover the true craftsmen in today's world. Being keen on anything related to the clockmaker John Harrison I thought it appropriate to use his chordal pitch gearing for the center wheel and roller pinion for the escape wheel.Welcome to the magical world of a clockmaker, where the gears are lovingly handmade and time truly does stand still as host Eric Gorges and young clock maker Nate Bowers create a beautiful exposed gear clock.Įpisode Duration: 26 minutes and 47 secondsĮpisode Number: 201 All broadcast times for this episode: I was able to use a minimal train for the clock by driving it with a frequently rewound Wagner type remontoire hidden behind the mounting plate. The clock is in the regulator style featuring dual time zones. Progress of the work can be seen on my Instagram feed the geometry of this escapement is very much that of the Grasshopper I renamed it the ‘Spider Escapement’ considering the pallet assembly resembles a spider in its appearance and action. The work on this clock is, for the most part, complete and undergoing tests. Initially, I reworked the geometry for aesthetic balance but realized that it may have promise as a good timekeeper owing to its balance of torque delivery to the pendulum. Rather than the single escape wheel with an offset pallet assembly used in the traditional grasshopper my variation uses two mirrored escape wheels and a central mirrored pallet layout. I designed the escapement some time ago for a horologically inspired kinetic work titled Figheadair. Consequently escapements feature strongly in my work.Ĭurrently, I’ve been experimenting with a novel adaptation of the Grasshopper escapement. Each family and their derivatives are a bookmark in history, and lend themselves well to sculptural reinterpretation. Working with the geometries of escapements is incredibly fascinating. Specifically those from the Grasshopper and Gravity families. My interest has always been clock escapements. ![]() If any of the designs are of interest they’re available by commission. ![]() I’ve recently published the designs in Chronometric Concepts, available free through The Naked Watchmaker. Lately, though I’ve had the opportunity to delve more deeply into the work with a more classical approach building on ideas I’ve had over the past couple of decades. My early work was more of an abstraction of horological norms, so I considered it to be more horologically inspired kinetic art than true clockmaking. I began experimenting with sculptural clock making in the mid-nineties. All have unique approaches and styles to their work. Miki Eleta, Florian Schlumpf and Jean Kazes in Switzerland, Philippe Wurzt, Matthius Naeschke and David Atkinson in Germany, Eric Frietas, James Bordan, Nathan Bower, Rick Hale and David Walters in the US, Robert Bray of Sinclair Harding and Brian Law in the UK, myself in Canada and Will Matheson and the Buchanans in Australia to name a few. Burgess subsequently created some remarkable sculptural clocks largely based on the work of John Harrison (1693 – 1776).Īlthough watches tend to dominate the horological landscape a small group of contemporary independent clockmakers take a sculptural approach. In the 1970s, Martin Burgess, an English sculptural clockmaker mused aloud that there was an opportunity to draw on our horological history to create a radically new approach to Horology. Although for the most part I’ve long since left restoration to explore sculptural clockmaking, I still draw on the incredible history I’ve been exposed to in my career and utilize the technologies available. As creators, the fascination is compounded by the potential of this art form and with the advent of current technologies it seems this potential is limited only by imagination.įor myself as a former restorer, every new project added another layer of appreciation, revelation, and an opportunity to learn. Whether we arrive here appreciating a history full of stories and legends, or as creators or aficionados it's no wonder that the craft becomes so consuming! Horology has always been fertile ground for the creativity. This is particularly true when there’s an opportunity to consider items firsthand. This is obvious to anyone with a casual interest in horology but for those with a deeper involvement, it drives our fascination to a degree where we frequently marvel at the skill and thought given to even the most mundane components. There are few crafts that combine science, mechanics and aesthetics so comprehensively as Horology. ![]() Others bring different kinds of “dark” energy or matter from this dimension. Such as Quagmire’s gunk, Left Hand’s blasts, Asylum’s mist, etc.ĭarkstar manifests the Darkforce as pitch-black solid energy. This is similar to what Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) does over at the Distinguished Competition. One common application is to shift from the normal universe to the Darkforce Dimension, then pop back up some distance away. This way to teleport is used by Silhouette, the Vanisher, Spot, Cloak, Doorman, etc. The Darkforce Dimension is… something that contains a variety of… dark… forces. Many superhumans with a “darkness” theme derive their powers from accessing this dimension. (Early on, Darkstar referred to the Darkforce as a sapient Capable of intelligent reasoning creature.

So, yeah, long story short, a nice rendition of XVII th Century women’s choral church singing. ![]() Soundtrackĭarkstar seems pretty Old World in style. And I randomly remembered that Georgians have kinda-Corsican-style polyphonic singing, so I assumed that Russian traditions also had something along those lines… More generally, the names of Russian characters in older US super-hero comics tend to be weird. Confusion between patronymics and family names, confusion about feminised family names, a tendency to overuse some stereotypical first names, etc. (The Presence refers to Darkstar as “my little Laynia” when he learns that she’s his daughter. So the intended-by-the-parents first names likely were retained. I guess that the KGB can be sentimental after all.) “Laynia Petrovna” is her official name, and the one she uses. However, it was given to her by the State to obscure her parentage.Īssuming that her parents did plan to call their kids Nicolai and Laynia, her name should have been Laynia Sergeyevna Krylova.

The newly industrialized countries had countered calls for further harmonization by demanding that such harmonization go hand in hand with, for example, improvements in the quality of the process by which patents are granted and effective protection of traditional knowledge against possibly unfair exploitation by international companies. The industrialized countries suffered a setback at the WIPO General Assembly in September. Moldenhauer other forums such as the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) or the World Health Organization (WHO) are better suited to the task.Īnd why has G8 suddenly gone off its darling WIPO? Well, The interest they have in this dialogue is likely to consist above all in putting pressure on the newly industrialized ones," he said. "The G8 are made up almost exclusively of rich industrial countries. Oliver Moldenhauer of Netzwerk Freies Wissen told heise online that he thought the G8 summit was not the proper forum for discussing intellectual property rights. Here's a tiny little straw in the intellectual monopoly wind:ĭuring their next meeting the G8 governments should engage those of the five newly industrialized countries the People's Republic of China, India, Brazil, South Africa and Mexico in talks about intellectual property, representatives of the German federal government elucidating the proposed agenda for the next G8 summit meeting in June said during a briefing while commenting on the latter's motto "Growth and Responsibility."Īnd why is that interesting? Well, because Halting deforestation seems a way not only to slow down global warming, but to address many other issues like species loss and even poverty. Curbing deforestation is a highly cost-effective way to reduce emissions largescale international pilot programmes to explore the best ways to do this could get underway very quickly. The loss of natural forests around the world contributes more to global emissions each year than the transport sector. Maybe I'm just an incurable optimist, but I was particularly pleased to read this point: The first is catastrophic, when the earth's environmental system is so far out of kilter that it changes dramatically the second is rather more positive - the moment when enough people get what is going on, and start doing something effective to avert or at least mitigate the effects of the first tipping point. Kudos to the UK Government for commissioning it - and for making it freely available.ĭespite its portentous message, I find its appearance - and of an increasing number of similar reports - strangely heartening: I can't help feeling that we are close to not one but two tipping points. It is also meticulous in detailing the situation. From all of these perspectives, the evidence gathered by the Review leads to a simple conclusion: the benefits of strong and early action far outweigh the economic costs of not acting.īut as I commented before about a similar case, what makes this report so important is that it coming from the establishment, not from groups who would be expected to make statements like that above. This Review has assessed a wide range of evidence on the impacts of climate change and on the economic costs, and has used a number of different techniques to assess costs and risks. The scientific evidence is now overwhelming: climate change is a serious global threat, and it demands an urgent global response.
