Re: [FRIAM] Advice on configuring computers

I'd recommend using a program that tells you where all the storage goes to. My OS has a simple facility that tells me I have 75GB left out of 250GB SSD drive on my laptop. That's OK but prompts me to run a finer grain program that tells me what my folder hierarchies contain. It good in that it tel

Forgive me, but I am too old and dumb to do nodes and edges talk. Could somebody translate this into defrocked Harvard English major talk. What value is maximized by such a system? Nick Nicholas S. Thompson Emeritus Professor of Psychology and Biology Clark University

Re: [FRIAM] Advice on configuring computers

Oh, forgot: one of the "surprises" had to do with email. Even tho I use gmail, which keeps all the email in the cloud, the mail *clients* (apps that interface with the email on the server) often store a huge amount of my email in a local "cache". We're talking 10s of GBs. Try running one of these

Thanks, Owen, I apologize that I was unable to get all nine names published. The New Mexican will only publish two names. Thanks to everybody who helped us edit the letter and encouraged us to see it through to publication. Nick Nicholas S. Thompson Emeritus Professor of Psycho

(I gotta stop, I'm on a roll here. but...) Here's an example of the hierarchical storage on my laptop: [image: Snap.11.04.18-10.28.17.jpg] The top level lets me know that "Users" is where to look. On unix systems that is the set of user accounts, which in this case has only me but often has tempo

Why not put aside geography? For every democratic UC professor in Berkeley, draw a republican fracking executive from North Dakota. Now we have airplanes and the internet. All these tribes are causing a lot of problems. Time to break them up. From: Friam on behalf of Nick Thompson Reply

Hi, Marcus, So, I take it, you ==>Don’t<== think that “…the future safety and prosperity of our nation depends on...” getting more resources ”…to education at every level”? My own view is (FWIW) that, despite the many faults you identify, some time in a college or university is a good id

Because doing such classifications would be far too difficult. For example, we know some very, very rich people - - private-jet rich - - in Santa Fe who are extremely liberal in their politics and generous to liberal causes and politicians. TJ On Sun, Nov 4, 2018, 10:54 AM Marcus Daniels Why not

Re: [FRIAM] Vote: The future of our nation depends on it | Letters To Editor | santafenewmexican.com

I think everyone should have the opportunity to pursue their curiosity pretty much unfettered. That’s what prosperity depends upon. To approximate this freedom by issuing public debt for education is too little and too late. That said, I voted for the issuance of such debt even though I am

Owen, what program is it that you use to give that nice hierarchical display of used space? On Nov 4, 2018, at 12:42 PM, Owen Densmore wrote: (I gotta stop, I'm on a roll here. but...) Here's an example of the hierarchical storage on my laptop: The top level lets me know that "Users" is wher

Is the FRIAM list being archived anywhere? I seem to remember that it isn't working anymore, but someone (Glen?) said they still have the majority of messages. It would be a real shame to lose it. FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv M
