Exploring the beauty and the beast that is Vancouver, I took my daughter and her friend across the water to experience the big city. We were confronted by the attraction of the capitalist face of Vancouver, and frightened by its reality.
Where Victoria battles and criminalizes the poor, pushing them into the cracks beyond tourist and voter view; Vancouver has lost the war, having created too much for the rich and too little for the growing army of poor. The street people own the city; their rebel headquarters surrounds the Vancouver Police station and smothers the surrounding neighborhood.
The riots are the least of Vancouver's problems; they only serve to give the locals someone else to blame for the city's dysfunction. Vancouver is a disgusting mess supported by indifference.

Economics As If Survival Mattered. John Michael Greer takes on economics, a subject in desperate need of his characteristic, level-headed analysis. The usual growth oriented fantastical notions that have plagued the subject over the last half century were in particular need of such cool headed dispatching. Greer starts with the fallacy of the law of supply and demand by handily pointing out that you cannot demand what is simply not there. Uh duh. Our economic system does not inventory the depletion of natural resources and just keeps on assuming that its existence is a given.
In addition, Greer gives us language to explain how the science of economics got so full of itself that it thought it could create its own reality. He divides up the economy into three parts. There's the Primary which encompasses all the planet's natural resources and services, the Secondary which includes the goods made by humans from these resources and the Tertiary which refers to the financial sector. It is this last category that has come to dominate, spinning a web of ever more complex derivative products that have promised the world an endless possibility of wealth pulled from thin air. That is to say, it is based on the promises of wealth from tomorrow's production from resources that likely will not even be there.
Ancient Rome was in much the same financial straights using a debt driven economy that ran aground once actual resources were unable to keep up with demand. In fact it was because of Rome's financial shenanigans that the Christians came up with the part about usury being a sin. I've always wondered why that was so important to the Christians (and Muslims and Jews). In the epoch following the Roman empire, people went back to a life without loans and a lifestyle that didn't revolve around money. Peasants survived on the land they farmed using barter and embraced a feudal lord who offered them protection in exchange for a part of their crops. This was the Middle Ages.
So forget a retirement which is just another construct of the industrial age. Greer is convinced that we are in the twilight of the age of investment. The growth economy simply isn't going to grow anymore to bring in a return. The promise that invested money will outperform the faltering economy of goods and services is simply a publicly accepted fantasy, a faith based system.
Greer ferrets out the last assumption of our flawed economic system, the one my financial advisor holds dear, and that is that the discovery of new technology and new sources of energy will bring back the economy we assume is our birthright. Not going to happen. The energy required to pull this last rabbit out of the hat will be more than the energy we can gain from such efforts Greer says, because there is no resource as dense or as easily brought to market as fossil fuels have been. Same goes for the chimera of a perpetual motion machine because of the law of thermodynamics. Reading his argument makes me feel like a butterfly pinned to a board.
He does have a series of recommendations involving the tax structure and the regulation of corporate activity. I especially like his suggestion that we take corporate personhood to its logical end and serve corporations the death penalty for murder when appropriate. But it is his advice that we follow E.F. Schumacher's small-is-beautiful principle that is the motivating factor for me because it gives me and all the other home tinkerers something to do. Officially termed the Principle of Subsidiary Function this principle puts forth that we use only as much energy as necessary from as local a source as possible to get a job done.
We, who make ourselves intimately acquainted with the amount of energy we need to house and feed ourselves (and provide hot showers and cold beer), are in a far better position to determine what changes we are willing to cultivate in order to insure a palatable future on a diminished energy budget. Because, as Greer points out, the larger economy is only interested in figuring out how to keep the existing system going and this will inevitably lead to collapse of these multi-layered complex systems. Turning away from complexity and investing in far simpler ways of providing for our needs is the solution Greer affords us. Judging from the number of books that blend emergency prep with ongoing sustainable, off-grid living practices, he is not alone in this plan. But rather than rest with the disaster scenario, Greer offers a satisfying exposé of the delusions that have brought us to this disaster prone existence. It is a less anxiety producing approach to know that we must move away from the delusions rather than just be prepared to weather the breakdowns.
Someone has found the 'Master Equation for All Life Processes':
I = i0* M^(3/4)*e^(–E/(k*T))
I is an individual's metabolic rate, i0 is a normalization constant, M is mass, E is the activation energy, k is Boltzmann's constant, and T is body temperature in kelvins

As of 9/7/07, 98 / 100 of the first Google results for 'Kent Bye' (without quotes) are actually relevant to me.
That's quite different from just a few years ago where searching for my name would yield a ton of non-relevant results including lots of tournament brackets w/ players of last names of "Kent" getting bye rounds as well as people saying bye bye to a person named Kent in their salutation.
Now I'm posting this here because every now and again I do an egosearch. And I've noticed how it's changed a lot almost every time I look at it. Stuff that is at the top I wouldn't have thought of -- like the vlog post on the five things people don't know about me.
Who knows, this picture could get a ton of links and all of a sudden this could be the number one slot. I'll never be able to predict it.
But I think it's an interesting testament to three things.
1.) How Google's search has gotten so much better over the last 5 years -- I'm surprised w/ how many one-off comments I've made show up in the results.
2.) How I've increased the amount of information I've put out there associated w/ my name.
3.) How SEO-friendly my name is. As far as I can tell, there's not a lot of other "Kent Bye's" out there
What will this look like in 5 years? I have no idea. But maybe I'll do this every so often to keep a visual record of it to be able to quickly look back on it.
There's archive.org to look at old websites, but there's no Google Search archive where you can do a Google search and look at the results from 3 years ago. I'm still waiting for The Google Search Archive.
METHODOLOGY:
* I changed my Google search preferences to show the first 100 results instead of 10
* I saved the HTML file of the first 100 results to my desktop.
* Then I opened file:///Users/kent/Desktop/search.html in Paparazzi! screencap program

Nothing in the manifest universe is permanent. It is merely that some things are more temporary than others. Nothing in life is still or frozen. Life is defined by movement itself.
It is incorrect to assume a photograph "freezes" a moment in time. Indeed, we often describe a photograph as a "still life". But nothing in life is truly still. It is more accurate to describe a photograph as a drastic slowing down-- imperceptibly even-- but never an utter stillness. Even as we are not perhaps aware, the atoms in that photograph, whether analog or digital, are dancing about and that fantastic dancing will continue right through until various modes of decay or the total universal death known as thermodynamic equilibrium silences it forever.
The frantic tides and currents of the internet realm move at a polarizing contrast to this slowing down of a single captured moment in time. A photo allows one to linger over a bygone moment, patiently, leisurely and with an attitude potentially unrushed by the clock on the wall. The internet world has only seemingly embraced the photo. In reality it is fundamentally at odds with the soul of a photo in this specific regard.
And as we can photographically stretch out a moment in time we can also stretch out a moment of space. I find myself particularly interested in this concept. I frequently rearrange, dismantle, disassemble and reassemble. This captured moment in time slowed to an imperceptible crawl can now be hovered over leisurely to dissect and rearrange. This spatial rearrangement could be considered more in line with the rushing-at-you-nonstop firehose of the internet, of massive real-time content frequently pushing us into information overload-- disjointed, distracted, busy, fractured, multifaceted and endlessly multitasking. Superficiality is easily the result of all this frenetic rushing about, but if it is possible to slow down even here, to combine the spatially multidimensional with the temporally leisurely, perhaps something new and interesting can be born in the resulting new-found balance...perhaps even some form of order pulled from the all the chaos.
Statistical analysis is fundamental to all experiments that use statistics as a research methodology. Most experiments in social sciences and many important experiments in natural science and engineering need statistical analysis. Statistical analysis is also a very useful tool to get approximate solutions when the actual process is highly complex or unknown in its true form.
Probability help in statistical analysis Friends, mathematics is a very vast subject which plays an important role in our daily work starting from buying goods to cooking. It is like playing game, which requires a lot of practice and hard work to succeed and become best in it. Similarly Probability is also a very important topic which plays an important role not just in maths but also in different areas of study like Physics, Chemistry, statistical analysis etc. Starting from tossing a coin to the population calculation probability plays a major role.
