Flash to be no longer supported in Android 4.1

Flash to be no longer supported in Android 4.1

Followed a bit of a thread in comments on this topic in Google + sort of laughing.  Someone mentions html5 being 10 years out of date...um...you better check your facts there...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_HTML5_and_Flash
Some things to consider recent release of Flash, basically up until somewhat recent Flash had adopted the h.264 format which is the highly patent ridden version of a similar container format such as html5, but apparently people still have up until recently complained about flash for things like high computational processing problems (owing to the lack of gpu computational handling).


Really while complaints have gone out about android for lacking adequate coding in computational handling say with dual core, one wonders if generally in the pc computings market this were a drop in the bucket relative to all the problems that Windows and flash and other peripherals have offered at times to the overall consumer market?


Interestingly enough, the html5 format is not so difficult in terms of encoding.  The alternative to Openshot in Ubuntu and I believe Openshot both offer html5 encoding options for video rendering.  The problem with respect to getting a user community to embrace html5 may come by way of  video rendering software packages including this rendering option, and then Youtube servers I could imagine might provide automatic rendering services on their end, regardless of the received container format for the uploaded video?  If this were the case, it seems large scale deployments of html5 through mainstream sites could easily be incorporated into a given deployment infrastructure.  Literally the degree of popularity in a particular container format, need not be contingent on a given user base handling the bulk of the conversion processing here.

With and web browser/applications support,
and server support, html5 should be generally readily accessible to the general population if not already soon in the future.  What browsers may not support this...hmm...not sure if it were true at present since I haven't used the latest version of Internet Explorer for windows XP, but it seems supposedly html5(webm) weren't available for this browser, but owing to the decline in XP usage, not to mention whatever existing user population still using Internet Explorer, the other big mainstream alternatives, Firefox and Chrome generally offer this format, I believe even on Windows XP.  
The other thing to consider here also, is that even Flash isn't the same Flash of several years ago.  h.264 Flash enabled format video can run several megabytes of space relative to older Flash formats running at some 30 to forty megabytes of video (similarly html5/webm offers the same sorts of memory savings here).  This conversion deployment to h.264 was done literally overnight, and browser and server supports were probably given to similar rapid deployments.  The same could be said for html5 if furthered support is provided.  At the moment Youtube I believe is currently test trial offering this format enabled support option http://www.youtube.com/html5.  Been this way I believe for past several months.

Basically popularity of html5/webm in my opinion is probably contingent on major video traffic sites like Youtube and Vimeo offering this format option commonplace alongside other options, this would be irrespective of a given user communities actual handling of video client side (provided options exist here as is already the case in many up to date popular web browser choices).  Hard to know how html5/webm might effect other types of client based web applications here and whether or not this really could be problematic with respect to a given overall user community, but then more commonly I think its a misconception to assume a case of 'either/or' in terms of technologies deployment of this type.  It seems high traffic video hosting servers have more incentive here to keep container formats up to date not just for the sake of their clients but also for the simple fact that memory savings translates into less allocated space needed for server end storage, and fractions less of used space should already be enough incentive with respect to making viable any up to date container format which webm/html5 provides...technically Flash offers this similarly, but the differences considered here, were patents and the proprietary nature of one container format over the other.  In summation really the powerhouse in the revolution to html5/webm may well be initiatives taken by Youtube and Vimeo, and the user community would know very little differences here as a major web application, namely their browsers, would be likely conformed to this container format (deployment of this kind happened months ago with some published fanfare...at least on the Firefox side).

Criticism of National Geographic Channel Show on Hutterites

Criticism of National Geographic Channel show on Hutterites
Isn't the National Geographic Channel show owned by Murdoch and company?   While I have loved reading the magazine version over the years, even if it were littered with its own bias and propaganda, the channel seems more a freak-show-meets-disaster-meets-neo-con tabloid at times to me then a truly world geographical survey of a respectable social science endeavor.

   Sorry if someone mistook the wrong way, but sadly, I'd suggest comparing and contrasting the magazine publication from its broadcast format.  At least at one time, the two should have seemed distinct enough.  Honestly I haven't read the published format in awhile albeit having a reference at my google + site here.

Fairness to cable...the only thing I care much to watch these days is: How its made...and some other shows.  I haven't watched the Discovery channel in years...cable television positively sucks as far as I can see...but apparently I am part of that: it don't matter demographic..and as to cable news...whew...hmm...best said propaganda...Plane missing a wheel lands at Charlie Brown airport...real sad...really sad...

EVE MS SQL importer and queries program

Eve MS SQL importer and queries program 

 Previous blog link at this site for this information concerning this program

Recommend reading previous blog post for dependencies information on what program's are needed to get this program adequately running.  While I could create a packaging installer for all of this, because links and what not falling out of date, and because its another chore creating an updater for all of these would leave it up to the user to update all of these dependencies (e.g., MS SQL Studio 2012, Eve Fansite kit, and python MS sql driver module).  Dependencies installation are very straightforward generally speaking and easy.  Although I recommend going to my previous blog post linked above for setting up your Eve database.  Someday, I may try to create an automation on the installation here, but for now I'd leave it up to you.  Will update soon with general sql queries window for users wanting to do customized searches.

Also to add profiles tab later, which allows a user to toggle, between custom searches of item groups across region markets.

Please follow instructions also at README explains how to get going with all the dependencies.   Currently looking into creating a stand alone windows executable for my script, but this is yet another task.  My code is written for native python 3.2 tk packages

Update 6/25/12: Added quick profiles selection tool, which basically allows for queries of group items and regional market groups on reprocessing pricing estimated value returns (Pricing button).

Updates 6/25/12: Easy selection for computing average on itemsindex table.  Added a query search window that can be toggled through menu interface.  The simplest query invocation for instance, can be in the form of  'Select * from tablename'  where table name is defined by one of the names
shown in the database explorer.  I've also included column values in the database explorer for refined searches. 

Updates 6/29/12:  Working on batching index data for creating running averages (approximately).  As opposed to date indexing at present in the singular as opposed to varied (multiple) batch dates computed at once.  Also creating matlibplot features, that provide graphical market plot data...except ramping the scale of plots up relative the typical eve market context (in game).  This would furnish say not merely one but many plots that could be viewed at once based upon a users customized choice of market watch items in group.  I wanted to also furnish things like comparison data of reprocessing/manufacturing cost/minerals estimation data relative to average market valuations  say in one statistical plot. Some added things to be considered here:  search indexing to return say a top list of hot purchase items or sell item based upon consideration of any number of factors:  this could be cost of loyalty points relative to average market valuations, or something like relative mineral's estimation return relative to consideration of regional market buy orders on hand...

When my crazy father actually lost his mind

When my crazy father actually lost his mind.

Ny times article.   Sort of disagree in some manner with respect to the purpose of institutionalization here.  If mental health were to cause some severe impairment with respect to the one's functioning, yes maybe it should seem the institution can be there to help treat ideally in the passing sense and hopefully neither be situated for the purpose of semi permanent housing.  A number of reasons that are bothersome with respect to the idea of committing any individual for any semi permanent reasons based upon my perceptions of such:

     Relinquishing legal power over one's self determination is a loss of right in capacity to decision making, and who supposedly better determines better one's health if not mental sanity?   People can have varying levels of paranoia at times in their own lives and still be functioning fine.  For instance, you hadn't need but turn on television (in this past decade) to see evidence of this at times, if playing up to personal insecurities weren't enough of a media cash cow at times.  Then even a great logician/mathematician suffered from extreme bouts of paranoia.  Goedel also had some environmental experience that might have had some associative trigger.  Convinced that people were out to poison him, supposedly he refused to eat all but his wife's cooking.  In the end, he likely died of malnutrition after his wife had passed away, but then he lived a long time anyways, and generally up to this point he were functioning well enough to do great work regardless.  Then if you relate to something of past experience in having fled from Germany, its easy to sympathize with him regarding his mental health condition.  If paranoia shouldn't cause problems with respect to everyday functioning like eating somewhere somehow, or being able to socialize have friends and what not, what sort of problem is that?  There maybe lots that don't trust their governments for any number of reasons however rightly or wrongly, and secondly distrust in governments shouldn't be sacrosanct heresy, unless you live in a place like China right?

    If you lived in China where infrastructure and facilities have been built around mental health professions, complaining about the authority of your government is enough to get you locked up in an institution.  In the past, it seems institutions such as these could be reserved for the slighting offenses such as social disobediences...maybe owing to lack of functioning in the proper sense to a given society.   This might have been biased more so with respect to women relative men.  At least if a man were likely then not to be able to cope and were an excessive drinker, they could have had a support group of enablers surrounding them for their given impairments?

The problem with paranoia may relate to how one functions irrespective of subsequent actions.  As much one could claim that thoughts and actions are separate vehicles in their own right.  Not everyone angry to the extent of wanting to express their anger do so.  Our minds and actions can be independent of one another, and it is why are legal systems differentiate actions versus intent, motives and anything else that attempt to link thoughts, behaviors and actions.

How we react to our circumstances could be some indicator with respect to the level of rationality that should be contained, but even then one suspects: is it such that those suffering more clearly from paranoia are impaired in some capacity to rationally question any number of circumstances which provide seeming contradictions with respect to irrational thoughts?   At least if a man could function well and highly enough in world's of logic, it seems neither even the most rational of individuals could be removed solely from paranoid ideation, or if having considered artificial intelligence in fiction, even H.A.L wasn't immune from a inset paranoia based upon programmed instructions received.  It seems at least considering paranoia there are probably two centers which counteract and resist one another in thought: one center as a means of self preservation, while another counters the others pull.  Here, by example, running thoughts could amount to something of a checklist:
'Oh you are being foolish!'  'Has anything happened to you up to now?!'  'What make's you think this way?!'  And so forth.  It seems if something of rationalities dominance is pervasive enough,  the idea of personal safety should seem born of all conditions of one's state prior.  Thus, if one were in a situation where one's life were personally in danger for good reason and measure, it seems paranoia should be a life preserving mechanism, not presenting danger to oneself, but alerting one to the sense of environmental risks and dangers lurking.  On the other hand, thoughts might get tripped up, chronic pain sufferers, for instance, tend to be more paranoid then those who don't suffer.  This isn't without measure.  Sometimes, the tendency of the human mind might be to associate physical pains with circumstances surrounding the individual, or this is to say, maybe its more difficult to avoid more so incidental events without knowing truly the causality in such associations.  Then I think to at times popular urban folklore, entire groups of American's at times have held more common beliefs about their circumstances that should seem highly paranoid, but then given the Tuskegee experiments lingering only a few decades in the past could you blame them?  Lastly if paranoia weren't okay with individual's don't hold your corporations and governments responsible for ever bit acting so cautiously the same with respect to their holdings of power and secrets.  Much of your government runs on much paranoia and compartmentalization that should have its thinker's locked up for similar thinking: were they wrong for being paranoid?

DYI stuff

How to get over the I suck barrier when learning a new skill

Just to let you know, not a big fan of DYI initiatives, but I do it because relative to the cost for the pro job... :)

Generally speaking most from what I could gather most pros do the jobs that they could do for a living because they don't suck enough to not get hired doing what they do.  Admittedly not a pro here either.

Generally I turtle on DYI stuff, but eventually I try to make sure stuff gets done.

Some important tips that I could tell from a very brief stint in construction:

Make jigs for repeat cuts.  Don't measure the same stuff out with your tape measure.  Learn what a jig is, and know how to use it   If you set a decent one up, you can make repeated cuts of the same length in a fraction of the time spent otherwise measuring.

Make a habit of accomplishing something for the project that you are working on, and set a reasonable time frame in terms of expectations.  If you decommission the only bathroom in the house, and five other family members need to use it, and the project turns out to be a month away from completion, you might be facing relationship change in short order.  To be added to this, if you can stage your project by decommission individual things, for instance, in a bathroom, you're better situated here.  If this means putting in a temporary stop valve where one doesn't exist, to shut the water off in a section where you work without effecting the water being shut off in the entire house, do that instead. 

If you decide to install woodflooring, and keep the house semi functioning in terms of traffic over a given area that you are working in terms of installation...don't do what I did...leave the flooring nearest the sink uncovered so that water/liquids could spill on unfinished wood.  Unfortunately, when the finishing stage comes alone, the higher moisture content in the wood where spills have been left behind may not go away soon enough, and you are left when staining with obvious water marks left on the floor...this probably owing to differences in moisture content in the wood.

Takes time to do what you don't know how to do properly.  Learn the processes and methods needed to accomplish your task, and do it as efficiently as you can.  I'd say make a trial run, working with sample materials before you invest heavily into working larger scale.  This way you don't blast through much material producing much waste and cost, trying to figure out something that should be fairly easy.  If you are spending too much time and money doing something.  See if you can find answer's online, or through reference or resource materials pertaining to the work that you are trying to accomplish.  To give you an idea of top notched contracting: prefabricated well measured, well surveyed, pre cut material houses (German one's here) can be constructed in a day or two at best.  While generally less well site surveyed construction projects can translate into months of construction time spent for building a house.    If you can prefabricate your work as much as possible before installation, it may save you significant time and work.  For instance, in plumbing, instead of measure soldering, measuring soldering, measuring soldering.  Measure, measure, measure, cut, cut, cut, solder, solder, and solder.  Task switching sometimes can be more costly in terms of time spent.  If you have a template, use this before trying to construct one through your own measuring.  At least if you know the template is good, it may save you time measuring.  Know how to cut flush on your marks.  If you can cut flush, your cuts will be accurate, and you shouldn't need to re measure.  This means lining up properly on your compound miter saws, and so forth.  Basic math and trig might help, especially for angle cuts.  T square bevel and protractor for reading angles.  Should at least understand right triangle relationships for translation to 47 degree max miter adjustments.  Then sometimes, especially if you are a noob like me, you might need to measure on an as needed basis.  For instances, laying wood floors, could present enough irregularities in terms of the wood and the flooring itself (especially with aged houses) such that it could be enormously difficult laying out everything completely before nailing.  The more lengthy and the more parts required in a the process of building and designing prefabricated structures for installation means also greater possibility that an error in measure could cost other parts in design especially when incorporated into existing structures.  Unless you were well surveyed on your design here, I wouldn't bank so well on pre cutting everything at once for say a thousand separate pieces relative to something simpler to a pre fabricated design that were ten cuts ahead.  .

Anything else...not really sure here... not really a pro, probably not so great, and be reasonable about your expectations with DYI, some maybe great at doing what they do, but a lot may learn the harder way through some trial and error.  When it comes to finishing in the aesthetic sense, there can be much technique that is learned in the way of producing excellent visual results.  As stated before, if its something like a finishing technique for painting, woodworking and what not.  Practice and have your method down so that you can apply this in the larger scale sense.  Otherwise, if you are guessing every step of the way, chances are you are going to have inconsistencies appearing in your finishing work.

If its structural, its important to be level and plumb.  If its finishing, the visual lines are more important from what I gather.

The other thing here that I've found:

It sucks when you get best accomplished nearest the end of a particular project and the skills learned are no longer needed.  The differences between pros and DYIs, pros do the same sets of things in terms of skill use for labor from site to site, while its more or less probably going to be a one shot deal for maybe a decade or more depending on how frequent you change scenery and have money to spend.  I've made my mistakes.  I've probably cost some money in the process.  People can spend years in professions building up their trades to a particular level of mastery, and then techniques learned can also be coveted.  If you stink, you are probably in good company.  Some people are gifted at what they do and learn fast, while others can take time to acquire the skill, knowledge and practice doing what they do.  Likely, you probably aren't going to be a master at the DYI project you are working...get over it.  All relative in any event. 

Review of the article above: Hmm, years ago tried to do hand sawed dovetails, figured out the basic ratio formulation for a given edge length here.  The problem were that my noob hand and eyesight weren't so great at cutting machine like cuts.  There are some great woodworking videos of some real woodworking master's that can cut extremely precise by eyesight relative to drawn measurements which made me appreciate skill here on what should seem apparently so easy at first glance but is probably more deceptively hard then one could imagine.  If you could learn proper strokes with the golf club, on violin, and what not, the skill is appreciably the same.  I found that I could make some decent and nice looking cuts with my band saw up to a point, but as close as I could get to better precision.  Second in terms of design there are considerations to scaling in design it should seem.  I've heard things like golden ratios (means), but really it seems if one weren't working with a template this is another matter altogether.  Mockups, or if you spent the same amount of money on junk/scrap wood and built a to scale model, this would save you the money on the fancier wood.  I've seen some articles mentioning circular saws with fairly well designed jigs for doing table saw like work.  In any event, it seems the equipment in many cases may not be cheap.  Having access to a good workshop alongside people with knowledge and experience can help I'd imagine.  While hadn't been to this particular shop in town, that rents equipment and space in a while.  It at least then offered, access to the sorts of precision equipment, that I could probably little afford on my own in terms of building things like furniture.  If you are lucky enough to have a woodworker's shop such as these in your town, I'd probably recommend utilizing these spaces instead.  Chances are I couldn't imagine, that you'd want to invest a huge sum for table saws, band saws, routers, and nice workbench for any glue ups and what not, just for one small table project.   
 

Thoughts on article They do not compute

They do not compute

Interesting article.  Luddite culture is still commonplace I'd would offer.  At least you could probably go to some local grocers that have yet to install automated checkout computing systems (at least I have yet to recall seeing any, for instance, in any local Hyvee chain, or some other grocers).  In fairness, the reasoning for this could be cost of installation of these types of checkout systems relative to the potential payout for the grocer, and then it seems even those having such, there are none locally that I have seen out right removed the human cashier as an option from the checkout equation.  The reality, however, with automated checkouts are such that, it may be hard at best to know how new technology may actually displace one's position, if only any number of already open function vacancies had existed firstly that hadn't entailed exactly some distinct that were needed in terms of employment from the human resources perspective.  At least one could recall at times floating between any number of activities in a more modern context where having in the multi tasked sense, handling any number of functions for a given time allotment. It seems the idea, for instance, that someone were uniquely custodian, for instance, could be antiquated in some context.

What should technology provide?    

I've heard in recent years people having talked about the antiquated activities of creating and preparing something like spreadsheets and what not.  Prior to this, and still you could probably walk into any number of private physician's office, and see a wall of hand written files stacked organized and separated in some manner that were probably the same methods used for well over century if not greater.  It seems one could...and at least I've offered some basic code here that allows for one to construct a database without some much cost (other then time spent in learning) here that could provide referencing for medical records.  It seems you could also with a little knowledge construct field query systems rather easily on this point that could provide any number of aid with respect to accessing things like patient records and any manner of data needed.  In this way maybe a little extra time were spared in terms of filing, organizing and sorting.  This may not have addressed the feeling that some might have concerning securities vulnerabilities regarding things like patient records, especially if concerned about being responsible as a knowledgeable maintainer for system's securities, but at least even if you had hired so many people to do the work that they did, maybe they'd have more free time to do other things, and then you hadn't need necessarily resort to letting people go just because you could justify it?

My personal habits have changed inevitably as a result to technologies use in this past decade.  Maybe I were more likely to change regardless, and in some ways maybe my actions could have been different.  If I only spent more time gardening or being outdoors...as to outdoors, I'd qualify this in some way regardless, but it seems I couldn't holistically say that it were all bad.  Sure I've gone through gaming stints for a time, but then I've managed to find balances for a time between any number of activities:   programming past time projects of one sort or another, time spent writing and self publishing,  DYI stuff, self study and reading.  I'd offer in terms of data resources, I can already find answer's to questions online that could be difficult without them.  For instance, if you wanted to change the oil on a Mercedes (which happens to a bit goofier process relative to the simple screw the can filter onto your car type processes). I've seen some using a tablet for decently produced visual layout instructions on doing exactly this, you hadn't, for instance, need necessarily take your vehicle to a specialist to do these sorts of things, and as long as your resource information were trusted, you might spare yourself some time having an internet connection finding the data you need to help get your job accomplished, and then my other favorite past time, is trying to furnish data where I have seen some incompleteness in search engine results for the practical stuff that I do that I hadn't had answer's to...here the internet rules, publisher's can't exactly control this data, and you could potential make it available for free!  This isn't to say I am against pay for a given publication.  I still  like to own things like resource manuals, guide books, books well laid out and highly useful that could practically spare more time owing to the at times incompleteness relative any exhaustive search done over the internet having rendered much incompleteness regarding a particular subject matter when diving below at times the more glossary approach to information acquisition.  Considering the way that time could spent in the past, however, when I were younger, I would have more likely found my self vacillating between  passive entertainment (television, and maybe more rarely reading) and other less passive forms.  Today it seems at least I don't watch nearly the amount of television that I used to, and if seeking even online entertainment, it seems music videos could be the one thing more interesting here.  At least I suspect outside of some educational science type programming, I grew out of other television and really got bored being a 24/7 news channel junkie.   Nowadays, I find myself more entertained programming a project of one sort or another.  Maybe I do both at the same time, but generally speaking annoying news chattering tends to irritate me enough so as to disrupt my mind track so I tend to stay away from these obnoxious sources personally.  And then I am also not a big social networking junkie either, or at least if having excepted the blog.  Given the diversity of culture that could be expressed relatively so, the internet seems a much nicer alternative to the culture found  elsewhere.  Sometime if you found a source of information regarding an activity, thoughts, information and what not that you hadn't been previously exposed, how much can you learn in the sense of locality?

The internet related to time use...

Objectively, maybe its hard for me to say.  Surely I don't spend time socializing, but there is no love loss there.  Constructively  on the other hand,  I've found things to do in absence of previous cultured activities, again no love loss for the change in things that I do today.  I have to say in many ways, I love life more then I ever did in the past.  Part of this probably relates to the differences between embracing the value of learned experience and wisdom, as opposed to in other cases, being locked in something of a perpetuated culture that one's defined existence were drawn much about the social existence of others.  Like any other social form, maybe one could easily feel as alienated in the internet relative to other places, but then likely if going to certain channels and places, one could feel as likely at home, or if having something of a self definition of import of one sort or another, one hadn't in the wisdom and maturity neither so much over reliance there likewise.  I'd mention only a certain distaste for my local library on another point, but it were all a personal matter, and generally I've found so much better alternative outside of the local library system.  Maybe I'd go back if e-readers could better take advantage of the lending system here. Then your local lending systems, maybe as good as what the community is willing to stock and place on its shelves.  Then as to social networking, online chatting provides yet another informal process of communication at level that hadn't the requirements of verbal and visual communications.  Its been round a long enough time: sometimes people like to write to one another as opposed to having to get dressed up, or verbally present themselves in more structured formal ways.  Written composition gives people more time to think.   Maybe it is that people feel in some ways feel perfectly fine with all that could be had in terms of entertainment and social communication in their given environment that should leave absent the internet for purpose, but maybe if you were wanting to give your kid violin instructions and you lived in a rural area, your community might have less people and resource to support adequately someone of knowledge, skill, resource and training to provide educational services.  The internet it seems (via Skype and soon if not already now, one may already find so many other alternative sources) provides opportunities of expanding the world of any given community beyond what it once may have been constrained in the geographic sense.  I could recall one woman in an article years past, having said in effect:  I wouldn't have moved to a given remote location in Alaska, if I hadn't the internet as social communications tool available, and arguably she's probably right in saying this.  We are social people, and if we feel displaced in terms of the options provided in our culture for doing or having access to things that were once accustomed to, it could be hard transitioning to different lifestyle.  Amazingly enough for her, access to another world, that might not have been chosen any time previous had been opened up.  Urban culture need not necessarily exist in the metropolis's solely.  Pointedly it seems this indicates the disparity between cultures of a civilization where one could find so much more time in doing any number of alternative activities, hadn't meant necessarily that one would be driven to explore these alternatives that a given environment would provide.  This means that if the local cafe were the social meeting place as an alternative, maybe someone in such given community hadn't necessarily agreed or related well enough or felt stimulated enough by such the given extent of such social contact found in limitation to any of these traditional sources.  Certainly if a diverse wealth of any number of voices and opinions could be found elsewhere, also having been more selective weren't necessarily a bad thing either?   Honestly I hadn't related to or used any number of personal or business applications especially for so much the smartphone culture, especially designed for enhancing one's lifestyle in producing even so much outside of work environments a seem less lifestyles increased productivity approach.  I don't use calories counters, application constructed physical workout regimens, or consult for restaurant data, and then as to things like going out to the movies...this seems so last decade, do people still go to movie theater's anymore?  I don't play simple puzzle games, but I do like Google language immersion application, which translates parcels chunks of smaller website text for aiding one in language learning.  Then I've also heard of some cool astronomy apps that allow you to point your cell phone to a particular region of the sky to find out constellation, galaxy, star, or planetary data, and then I would probably find use with some GPS tracking stuff maybe, but I don't really go out enough to even justify this much...maybe if I worked out of my car or as a truck driver, I'd find better use here  American culture and maybe its especially Midwestern that something new in culture (relating to technology) isn't readily embraced for its own purpose and sake alone.  This is to say purpose are probably born of some desire.  Relative to other generations, having not been so accustomed to higher visual and auditory stimulus environments, our generation I think must have changed relative so.  While I am not sure what demographic data of those consistently unplugged is expressed in so far as age groups as a whole, I would confess that my suspicions were that this tended to an older generation?  If having grown up all along, and generally using a phone to communicate on occasion, more so, it seems a simple rule of locality applies so often with respect to social communication in older worlds especially limited by way of mobilities.  Namely:  out of sight, out of mind.  If our living environment should seems rewarding enough without, what incentive is there to use a given technology?    As to the offline society and world what should seem apparent of such culture as a minority.  I would suspect, if it weren't composed of any number already having some deliberative mindset in avoidance to technology that any number could have something of a formed social philosophy surrounding technology and its use.  One would guess maybe six to seven percent of the overall offline culture.  Then I think of my grandmother whom were an absolute technophobe, one because she had a hard time understanding in some way how to use a given device, as I had once thought as a kid, which could characterize some in this segment.  I'd mention while high profile senator's such a s John McCain I believe admitted to having some difficulty to using much of technology if not at one time also having difficulty with something email, former president George W. Bush (the younger Bush) supposedly hadn't even carried a personal wallet on his person.  Likely the characteristics might be attributed to social cultures in these circles, when you have so many advisers and anyone aiding in so far as tasks, you'd likely be left doing the things that you were elected in theory to do, which is make decisions and provide leadership roles, as opposed to managing things with opposable thumbs, or typing on keyboards.  Others I could imagine were a bit more technologically up to date, but it really depends.  Maybe the technophobe or less learned population segments ranks at something like another six to seven percent, leaving a smaller margin of those that aren't necessarily intimidated, and had some previous exposure and know how with respect to internet but for varying reasons choose not to use.  Probably of the some twenty odd percent of offlined American's, I would suspect they rank smallest in so far as reasons why not using the internet.  I fell in the category for several years awhile back, basically having disconnected and stayed offline for an extended duration.  I hadn't thought personally to do this for the reason that I were opposed to technology clearly, but I just hadn't found any reason:  no one to chat with long distance, wasn't programming, or do anything that really needed things like cloud storage, or anything that I couldn't do without the internet.  I weren't a big social communicator, and I could write then with pencil/pen and paper on hand just as well.  I got bored honestly after awhile though.

Last generation modulates a randomly indexed re iterated hashing an original privatekey and letter (up to a 50th successive cycle), there are seven random hashing key values provided here
for this modulation cycle.
Because a privatekey is restacked onto a successively hashed encryption letter, at least in theory without having the privatekey, no successive hash generation can be reproduced here. This means effectively one shouldn't be able to discern ancestral to child relation patterns (via rehashing) without access to the private key. This should further limit pattern matching to isolated repeated segments of the same encryption blocks on a given ith hash iterated character privatekey generation. Thus in all modulating the index, length, and nth successive hash generation of a given character private key. While in theory computations should increase with added generations of rehashing of the same character privatekey encryption over successive generations up to 50 here. I've spared redundancy in processing by pre generating computed tables prior to main iteration loop decryption processing. Thus making computation virtually the same in so far as the main iteration process were concerned.

   Hashing encryption decryption python example

Have another variant of this example, which instead varies successive encryption stacking from
letter position to letter position, only repeating the ith stacking process by global NCAP positions.
Presently possible repetitions allow for at best a possible 1/10000 chance for repeating a encryption letter splice fragment with NCAP set to 10000, where pre computed tables appear to be the lengthier point in processing.  Cache or storage of pre computed tables for a given private key  would solve this problem.

 2nd example hashing encryption decryption script python

Okay so future generation ideas here.  I wanted to create an encryption so that:
private keys remain fixed, while varying relative to history the slice of a given encrypted letter private key combination.  Hmm, a second public key could be furnished alongside the encrypted message. Here, the public key translates to a time stamp signature which uniquely signatures the encryption process of privatekey and letter to a given time frame.  In this way historical analysis can't be made with respect to present encryption structures.  The downside's to this method is greater vulnerabilities to tampering with the decryption process of the message itself, but the upside is that decryption through pattern analysis only that much harder.  Certainly the advantage to keying here, is that a message encrypted by way of private and public keys is that message authentication, provided excellent software and hardware security likely means that even if an decryption authenticator like a public key or the encrypted message itself or tampered renders a message that is indecipherable.  Meaning at least a tampered message in theory shouldn't be intruded upon in terms of content revelations.

3rd example hashing encryption decryption with private and public keys script python

No successive generation of message with the same private key produces the same result relative the other so long as public keys vary which this script provides.  Two users must have a private key (shared with no one else) but can share a public key that is transmitted with an associated message (in less secure conditions).  The public key is associated to the message that it were used in the encryption process and no other.  Changing NCAP is contingent on the character position count of your content.  One could in theory change this to any number desired at present, albeit computation times significantly increase at say 100,000 for decryption table generation.  The highest level of security in terms of pattern matching I would imagine are such that NCAP is close to matching the character position count of your message.
