..............
Iar fata aceea, iata,
Se uita la mine cu sufletul...
Nu, draga, nu te deranja sa ma iubesti.
O cafea neagra voi servi, totusi
Din mana ta.
Imi place ca tu stii s-o faci
Amara.
(Marin Sorescu)

Putin despre cel inteligent

.
Am preluat de aici. Eterna poveste...
We have all heard the phrase, “ignorance is bliss.”
That is actually very true. It turns out, the more you know about this planet and the people on it, the harder life becomes. Realizing when someone is telling a lie based on their body language or facial expression, understanding the complexities of social frustrations, and a plethora of other things may seem like a great gift to some, but in reality this type of intelligence can often feel like a hassle.
Hearing people whine about how their life is “unfair”, when they do nothing to change their projected path? Knowing that they are part of the problem is their ignorance (because they can’t see that)- and it is part of your intelligence (because you can.) You understand the varied differences in life and what each event or decision may unfold.
Besides these things I mentioned, what are other ways that being intelligent may make your life difficult?
1. Your sense of humour is your own. Few will get your sense of humour. Or you’ll be so funny that people will inevitably miss the hidden sentiments in your humour. Both will make you weep for humanity.
2. Your intelligence is ignored. One night you and a group of friends are looking up at the sky when one of them points to a bright point of light. “Look,” he says, “It’s a satellite.” Looking up, you realize he’s pointing at Venus, and you say so. But then this girl (who thinks you’re arrogant for some reason) agrees it is definitely a satellite, adding, “Sorry, but you’re wrong.” The next day, you email them a link to a site that explains satellites in geosynchronous orbit are usually too far away to be seen by the naked eye. “He’s still on about that?” they whisper when you turn your back. “What a douche.”
3. It’s harder to make friends. Intelligent people seek other intelligent people to befriend. When intelligent people meet someone new, they ask clever, seemingly innocent questions that help them identify whether the person is someone worthy of their friendship. Even if a potential friend has much to offer or similar interests, an intelligent person may be quick to blow him or her off if the person doesn’t display a level of insight into the world that matches theirs.
This means intelligent people tend to be lonely. They become used to being alone and find solace in their work. While this means they dedicate more time to making breakthroughs in their field, they are at risk of developing depression.
4. It’s a lose-lose situation in terms of your identity. You can’t call yourself intelligent without being seen as an arrogant prick. But you also can’t also call yourself otherwise, without everyone seeing you as pretentious. And half the time, you’re not even defining yourself by your intelligence, other people are. But the minute you take the time to address it, you’re pompous. You’re silent? You’re summoned to speak. You talk? You’re being smug. Nope, you can’t win. Ever. Which is sad because being smart is supposed to be fun; but really, it just ends up feeling like a lot of boring and painful work.
5. You’ll be hard on yourself when you don’t “get things.” After all, you’re intelligent; understanding things and being imaginative or creative or critical is not “supposed” to be difficult. But no matter how smart you are, there will be things that you don’t get. And they will keep you up and night and cause you to believe that you’re losing your brainpower.
6. Over-analyzing can cause “paralysis.” Intelligent people like to be aware of all the pros and cons before making a decision. Knowing these can often stop them from making a decision altogether. That’s because they over-analyze and let potential “what if” scenarios get the better of them. This may also be because many intelligent people are perfectionists and just want to make sure they get the best possible result.
If they are leading a team or organization, this combines for potentially disastrous effects. Imagine: you’re responsible for making the final call on the direction your company is going to take, but you can’t decide on what the core values should be.
7. When you are wrong, or make a mistake, it’s the focus of everyone.  Soon after the Venus/satellite incident, you let it slip that you think Desmond Tutu is a jazz musician, and suddenly your knowledge (or lack thereof) is all anyone wants to talk about. And now you have a reputation for being both arrogant and ignorant.
Despite all these things mentioned, being smart is a blessing. I know it doesn’t feel like it sometimes (like when you are watching anything to do with politics and your brain happens to explode) but trust me, it is a good thing.

visuri si demitizare

.
unele visuri trebuie sa ramana neatinse.
atinse... se demitizeaza.
demitizarea saraceste viata unui om (simplu).
iar eu sunt un om simplu.

Twitter review


 .
Dupa 24 de ore: as spune soft de proasta calitate – dar ar fi un eufemism!

Puncte bune:
Iti alegi sursele de “stiri”.

Puncte proste:
Confuzant. Nu e clar cine cu care a vorbit, thredul de discutie nu are o cursivitate grafica limpede. Unde s'a terminat o discutie si a inceput o postare noua....
Mesageria e inca zona neatinsa – pare sa aiba alte efecte decat cele dorite.
Mentionarea cuiva este complet cretina – nu are functie de recunoastere a apropiatilor mentionati.
Nu poti edita un mesaj odata scris.
Iti propune constant tampenii: persoane pe care sa le urmaresti complet cretine, fara nici o legatura cu zona ta, desi este configurata propunerea “tailored for you”. Am dat “follow” preponderant pe surse de securitate IT (nume mari in domeniu) si mi se propune sa ii urmaresc pe Marius Moga, Inna, stirile ProTV, Delia! Are you for real?! De cand sunt astia somitati in securitate IT?
Nu iti permite sa ai canale (surse) nepublice. Adica din 10 surse pe care le urmaresc sa am doua care sa nu fie aratate tuturor ca le urmaresc.
Iti trebuie cunostinte de magie de nivel trei ca sa publici content video, imagine.
Afisare de imagini care odata realizata se poate vedea trunchiat, iar la vizualizare utilizatorul nu are nici un motiv sa banuiasca acest lucru. Vede jumatate din imagine, astfel imaginea nu prezinta cap si coada (sens), se trece mai departe banuind ca e o postare proasta.
Iti cere date personale  - orice esti sufficient de idiot sa dai pe langa mailul pe care il dai din start: cont FB, numar telefon, card, lista de contacte din mailurile tale, de oriunde…

Concluzie:

Evident nu calitatea e factor de succes, nu "customer satisfaction" e factor de succes, ci forta cu care esti capabil sa impingi celor multi un crap (vorba unui coleg) pe gat.

Oamenii si sexul

 .
Scrii ceva cu sex se tripleaza accesarea. Accesare venita aproape exclusiv din facebook. Din lista de cunoscuti de pe FB. Care desi e (uneori) filtrata, iata ca in continuare e compusa din persoane mult mai interesate de trivialitati stupide decat de subiecte interesante.


Pe vremuri as fi avut curiozitatea sa aflu care sunt acestia urmarindu'le IP'urile de accesare. Acum... mi'e lehamite. Ma multumesc cu concluzia ca daca vreau sa ceva sexual aparte pot pune aici, apoi distribui pe FB si clienti exista!

IoT

.
Avem o din ce in ce mai discutata inoventie in IT.
Se numeste IoT (Internet of Things).
Adica se discuta despre acea lume in care mai toate obiectele care ne inconjoara au pe ele cate un mic softulache si sunt legate la net si… comunica. Intre ele, cu cine vrei, cu cine vor…

Sa ne dam doi pasi in spate si ne uitam la conditiile in care se promoveaza acest concept.
Primo. Telefoanele mobile. Sunt produse de companii care au ca obiect principal de activitate softurile. Si totusi ne ofera niste produse penibile. Optiunile oferite de aplicatiile telefoanelor au scazut cu fiecare generatie. De exemplu, cu telefoanele de acum 10 ani nu aveai o problema in a exporta lista de contacte intr’un table excel folosind doar softul e conectare al telefonului la PC, pe cand astazi acelasi soft de conectare la PC… mi’e greu sa ii gasesc o utilitate!
Secondo. Din moment ce companiile care produc telefoane (ori chiar NAS’uri sau routere – home range) pun in produsele lor softuri de o calitate penibila cum vor fi oare softurile care se vor atasa cuptoarelor, frigiderelor…? Softuri care evident vor fi facute cu o si mai mica implicare, avand din perspectiva producatorului 140% rol comercial (sa ia ochiul tugulanului, pentru ca acesta sa plateasca un pret dublu pentru un aragaz care cica are si software incorporat)!
Terto. Totusi bune-rele, acestea vor comunica. Iar tu… avand o alta meserie decat consultant IT de securitate nu vei putea(!) sti cu cine, si ce comunica ele. La capatul celalalt al “firului” fiind o multime de indivizi care vor incerca sa obtina bani prin orice metode folosindu’se de bresele de securitate din softurile aparatelor tale. Care softuri stim deja de cata “atentie” beneficiaza in productie: doar atat cat sa poata fi vandute!
Concluzie: tot inainte ca inainte a fost mai bine!

Ce spun altii:
Developers are even more worried — around 90 percent felt IoT security was insufficient.”(bitdefender’s bog)
imagine a smart device blackmailing you with the message: “We saw what you did in the living room. Would you like to delete the footage for $9.99?””(twitter: @internetofshit)

Lumea merge inainte. MaiMult, MaiNou. Nimeni nu se uita incotro.

MaiNou si MaiMult

Succes vs Cunostere

.
Una din minciunile de baza: cunoasterea e cea care iti deschide drumul catre succes.

In timp ce.
Succesul social. E al superficialilor ce mimeaza cunoasterea facand din ea o ciorba de cioburi colorate, atragand astfel bezmeticii fluturi de noapte.

Succesul cultural. E al celor care simuleaza cunoasterea printr'o cat mai voluminoasa repetare mecanica a unor informatii.

Succesul economic. E al celor care confunda cunoasterea cu propulsarea primita… si cu lipsa de principii etice ori morale, ori ambele.

Cauti tehnica gasesti sex

.
Azi, cautam niste stiri din zona tehnica. Ca face bine la ten, mai ales lucrand in domeniu.
Dam un gugle. “tech news”.

Ce primeam acum cateva luni la o cautare similara: reclama mascata, reclama fatisa, numai discutii despre branduri, nimic tehnic.

Ce am primit azi in primele doua zone puternic vizibile: sex.

Search’ul gugle a pus in prima gasire, cea mai vizibila, cu spatiul cel mai mare alocat ceva cu subiect sexual, nu tehnic:



Iar apoi, primul site tehnic(!) deschis ne spune despre porn si masturbare – la fel, in cea mai mare stire (ca pozitie si spatiu alocat in pagina):



…si eu care credeam ca sexul e o chestier de cand lumea si pamantul. Iaca nu… e ceva nou!

(Asta in conditiile in care acesta este laptopul de munca, nu sunt autentificat cu cont personal, nu a fost folosit pentru curiozitati... tehnice, deci nu a intervenit subiectivitatea cautarii generata de gugle.)

In trei site'uri pe care gugle le oferea ca top site'uri pentru stiri tehnice am gasit articole despre bani, popularitate si sex. Articole despre noutati tehnice... mneah! Cui prodest?

Multumesc Google, multumesc site'urilor tehnice pentru sex, imi place sexul... dar daca nu va e cu suparare... poate diseara? Nu acum... la birou... cautand lucruri relationate cu munca..., ok?
