New Economy part 3 in series

  Given the ever increasing rise of machine intelligence,  humans will increasingly not be able to compete across greater spectrums of machine automated production modes.  This isn't merely in manufacturing or transportation sectors but increasingly affecting service sector economies.  Nonetheless I think we are entering into a new chapter in social and economic history...could we be ready to affirm in our own soon to be social history the birth of the Machine Intelligence Revolution?  This has broad impact to civilization and the ways that we will live in the future.

Questions to consider:  why is there mostly scant thoughts with respect to existing impacts?  And why consideration without so much consideration to social and economic displacements?   Is it sufficient and fair to argue that the luxuries of such revolution should only increase worker productivity while marginally having impact to worker population numbers, for instance? 

New Economy part 2 in series

   Certainly if less permanence were true and that anything were paid by task and template, the notion of employment as worthwhile comes measurably one's effective response and analysis.  Income diversification were arguably present to the degree that a measure of self worth were given less so by the perception of self worth but by the measure of worth.  How many tasks have you completed (for metrics)?  What is your rating (for metrics)?   Answer to be presented...or rather a range of task submissions for a task presented before a contract or even necessary details should be a given.  AI chatbots find ways in abstracting project goals in such a way without compromising proprietary concerns (or that anything of the NDA) need ever be signed.  The creative mind is valued, yes, for its supposedly intangible alchemy, but ever increasingly the template world and all approximation of the creative mind is encroached upon.  Where ever the creative mind?

Left at the base of the artful mind.  How are lives are an artful process has some intrinsic meaning...as it were to the design of self engineering.  What happens to works and so much definition and value is placed to the abstraction of lives relative works...works transcend lives but in the future?  

And while we cling to what we can touch and feel for its value, that alone, drives the future of gold...or that artificial scarcity is replicated by way of the lesser cosmic events creating such elements in the first place or that atoms elsewhere could be so diffuse as to maintain even higher levels of scarcity...future makes arbitrary the alchemical mind which has spun gold from ideas alone!  There is only delusional consensus that anything has value in the future...and that is the future economy.  The notion that we must believe much has value when scarcity no longer exists.  What is the future of desire?  What is the future of wanting?

Dreams, Desires, and Aspirations

    Venturing into the foray of self publication, self broadcast, or anything else. 

    You have tried the self publishing world briefly.  You found ways to do epub formats and then having your e-reader handy tested the format to verify that your little collection of short stories could be read through a few times.  When to do:  A few weekends out of the year or when in a forced insta hire layoff!

    You ventured into self publication of music.  You generated more spotify notice than anything and paid at fractions of a penny for each listen.  Who actually buys an mp3?  You bought your own album!  When to do:  See time permits above...or otherwise when the unheated garage is tenable to practice sessions!

    You whizzed through another country at a blistering pace with camera firing in tote and attempted to market your natural landscape photography.  Having below entry level camera gear and nothing more would make far from justice the prodigious residence of imagery that should exist on market.  You might actually buy your own stuff on 500px.  If only having placed yourself on the NYTimes best seller's list, a marketing trend might suffice in giving you notice.  You pay yourself for zero sum net loss/gain and something out of nothing makes something!   When to do:  Any scant deal for government subsidized flight trips abroad with enough accumulated savings makes this two week sojourn possible! 

    You'll market your prowess in scripting languages, anything erudite making COBOL sexy again!  You find yourself fluent in the way of knowing lookups...mastery being no longer necessary, your mind is being read and understood better than you might have been able to express.  The vast language of machines could do much interpretive reading on the sequencing of natural language.  The designer you worked from one system into another, leaping on dev trends.    When to do:  boredom sets in.

    You'll sublet a room in your house.  Unless city or state regulators say otherwise.  In that case, it were likely utilizing some obscure 19th century law relating to people with hats walking where they shouldn't be...or pertinently the obscurum of commercial versus residential zoning.  When to do: Several weekends out of the year!

    You'll invest pocket change in the new stock.  You lost a sum in bitcoin.  IRA/401k account!  When to do:  the last time you drained the retirement account.

    You'll taxi people.  Everything to become as tiny as a rickshaw navigating the maze like corridors of a city sprawling into the sky.  You are at the base of everything.  When to do: this is your job on Wednesday!
 
     You'll leave an instant hire job for another opportunity.  Career transience is one's intelligence in knowing that office is a shared space in the tropics for a few afternoons with billowing storm clouds ominously overhead.  When to do:  This is your job on Friday!

     Your mind maps will be commerce.  So to your thinking processes which could be a commodity.  You will teach people how to live again.  Personal philosophy coaches and lifestyle administrators abound.  When to do:  This is your job on Tuesday!  

   The rest of the days of the week are given to the resilience of repurposing your life and the things around you!  A new mall has opened up down the street with explicitly that purpose even if stores exist in providing rehabitation of old habits.  You move like a modulus on the branch of time, always who you are and you should be!

Call this redefinition

   Call this redefinition.
   Measure is by analytics.
   You have resurfaced the you that remembered a fragment of a line
   Educate oneself to know what could be remembered
   What is to learn? 
   No more marketing tomorrow!
   All of this will be automated in time! 
   No more sales! 
   No more mentoring!
   No more law! 
   

Eventful and uneventful

    Half a day and a year and a half later.  An eventful milestone passes nearest to the holidays.

    What can one say about that time?  The shroud of secrecy that claims any that knows without claiming to know, pretends without pretending.  Corporate schedules are routed like circuitutious liabilities and all the passive journals in writing with digital eyes.  Rotating through and through, stacking through the heaps, that class that asks for much.  Another aims her scanner at you and feigns to sleep, that is a place where much substance is made of anything beyond its due.  All hyperbolic in presence is the world of suspicion there in store.

Stack the heaps.
What remains seems endless with false corporate cheer.

React Firebase Deployments

   Some helpful hints to syntax errors, notably as related to 'npm run build' and 'firebase deploy' as related to syntax error shows either an older version a 'build/static/js/mainxxxxx.js' build or a current version but seems to be referencing an older version of this.

1.  Updating the 'index.html' file on new deployment.  Important to do this.  You can add a space in the file (or some character which makes the operation of the file functionally unchanged), for instance.

2.  In the Firebase console under the hosting tab, you may need to rollback to the current deployment, or at least ensure this has happened.  I have found that any new 'firebase deploy' command hasn't fully ensured updates of all deployment files to the latest deployment batch.

I have also experienced old cached site data remaining even upon refreshing firebase server data.  I am not certain why this seems to be more so the case either with 'firebase deploy' ments or 'firebase serve' (local hosting), but with chrome browser, you can do a refresh load with ctrl+'reload'.  Seems to remedy old data in the browser system. 

My current experience as of 12/13/2017

React App recommendations for inlining svg art

Recently playing around with Adobe Illustrator in conjunction with Animate CC for export into ReactJS .  However, as I've encountered with Animate CC choppy motions for animating svg group elements coupled to all the hassle of inlining svg plus simil code...this allegedly is trending down in terms of popularity, one particular bright spot that I've found for inlining rapidly lengthy pieces of svg code comes by way of transpiling (in cli environment) an svg into reactjs components.  It is done easily at console.  Here's a link that helps doing such...

I've found that it does what it says in a second for large svg files.  Just follow instructions for installing globally via npm.

Of course aside from working on a component search object element and then modify inside reactjs component object for animation with loop call inside such component (in other words creating js side animation), css is an alternative as well.  React by the way is nice for creating ios and android apps while avoiding all the hassles of learning to have to code in swift and using xcode or android and java in general.  React apps can be provisioned for web apps as well.
