Charline Picon avait déjà écrit deux très belles pages de la voile olympique tricolore avec son titre à Rio et sa médaille d'argent à Tokyo en planche à voile RS:X. Début août, elle est définitivement entrée dans la légende en décrochant une troisième médaille à l'occasion des Jeux de Paris 2024, le bronze en 49er FX aux côtés de Sarah Steyeart.Il y a un peu plus de deux ans, la Rochelaise, consciente que son gabarit ne collait plus à la nouvelle planche olympique, l'iQFoil, s'est lancée dans le pari fou de se lancer dans une nouvelle préparation olympique sur ce skiff ultra volage, dont elle ne connaissait rien. Ce pari, elle l'a relevé, au terme d'une "PO" qui, de son aveu, "a été la plus difficile" de sa carrière.En montant sur le podium devant leurs enfants, les "mamas", comme elles se sont surnommées pendant toute la campagne, ont prouvé que "rien n'était impossible et qu'il fallait aller au bout de ses rêves", le credo de Charline. Cette dernière nous raconte ces deux dernières années, comment elle a vécu ses troisièmes Jeux, sa gestion au quotidien pour être à la fois dans sa bulle de sportive de haut et mamanNavigantes est animé par Hélène Cougoule et produit par Tip & Shaft.Diffusé le 4 septembre 2024Post production : Grégoire LevillainGénérique : All the summer girlsHébergé par Ausha.

Pendant les Jeux olympiques, Pos. Report est exceptionnellement enregistré le mardi soir et mis en ligne le mercredi pour ne pas être en décalage avec l'actualité des Jeux Olympiques, auxquels le podcast hebdomadaire de Tip & Shaft est consacré. Au programme, un débrief détaillé de la compétition en compagnie d'experts présents à Marseille, où se déroulent les épreuves de voile.Pour ce 175e épisode, Pierre Le Coq, médaillé de bronze en planche RS:X aux Jeux de Rio en 2016, et Emile Amoros, 14e avec Lucas Rual des JO de Tokyo il y a trois ans en 49er, analysent les trois premiers jours de compétition. Ils commencent par évoquer l'ambiance sur le site, à laquelle Pierre Le Coq contribue largement, puisqu'il est justement “leader d'ambiance”, chargé par le Comité national olympique et sportif français, d'accompagner les supporters de l'équipe de France.Nous détaillons ensuite avec eux les quatre épreuves qui ont commencé depuis dimanche, et notamment les excellentes performances de Charline Picon et Sarah Steyaert, deuxièmes au classement en 49er FX alors qu'il ne reste que trois manches puis la Medal Race. Nous évoquons également les 49er, Emile Amoros estimant que Clément Péquin et Erwan Fischer, malgré leur 8e place, ont encore toutes leurs chances de médaille, puis la planche iQFoil, support que Pierre Le Coq présente avant d'en détailler le format, différent des autres disciplines.Diffusé le 31 juillet 2024Générique : Fast and wild/EdRecordsPost-production : Grégoire Levillain Hébergé par Ausha.

Radio Spaetkauf Presents: "Housing First and Fun With Social Workers" - RSxEAB #1 • This pilot episode examines homelessness, housing first, and sleeping rough. • Recorded Dec 6th 2023 in Berlin at Salon Am Moritzplatz, Released Dec 19th 2023 A Special Edition of Radio Spätkauf created through a partnership with Europäische Akademie Berlin. This episode is a pilot for the “RSx” series in which we seek presciptions for the problems of our city and the world which revolves around it. An attempt, in our way, to look forward to the future with hope. With hosts Matilda Kaiser and Daniel Stern, plus guests Debora Ruppert, Karen Holzinger of Berliner Stadtmission, and Kathrin Schultz of Queerhome*. Dan and Matilde catch up and remind us of the Kältebus number: 030 690 333 690 and review some previous Radio Spaetkauf stories that overlap with today's topic of homelessness; Zweckentfremdungsverbot, co-working spaces, commercial real estate regulations and the battles of the cities last remaining squats, with an update on Liebig14. How does the housing crisis affect the search for a home? The topic of Homelessness is introduced by Dan who struggles to find the right vocabulary and correct language with which to describe the issue. The first guest, Debora Ruppert is an artist who captures the lives of marginalized people, including the homeless, through photography. her most recent exhibition “Home Street Home” was on display in the Bundestag. She emphasizes the importance of speaking with people who are experiencing homelessness rather than merely speaking about them. That dialogue and relationships help individuals out of their situation. To learn more about “Housing First” we are joined by Karin Holzinger, who in 1991 began her work with Berliner Stadtmission and later became their head of homelessness services. Karin also co-invented the Kältebus, and is a co-founder of Kumpfide, an organization twhich offers support to non-abstinent alcoholics. She clears up some common misconceptions about homelessness, “When you walk through the streets, you see people, and you think, oh, he or she might be homeless, because maybe the person is not dressed very well, he or she looks drunk or [seems to have] psychological problems, so you think, ah, this is homelessness. Some of these people are not homeless and on the other hand, about I would say about 90% of the people who are homeless you would never recognize as being homeless because they look like you and me…” Karin explains the vocabulary in German for homeless people: Obdachlos and Wohnungslos, plus attempts to teach Dan the meaning of “Bürgerlich” and tells us the value of a “Housing First” program, as well as some of the limitations. What does it mean to help people survive vs. changing their living situation? Next, Radio Spaetkauf is joined by Katrin Schulz of Queerhome* Berlin to explain some of the challenges faced specifically by LQBTQI+ plus people in finding homes and shelter. She describes her work; “We say we are in the middle. We are not a government organization. We are not a church or Christian organization. We are not an only queer organization. We are in the middle because the organizations who work with homeless people have no knowledge about LGBTIQ and the queer organizations normally have no knowledge about homelessness…we are in the middle and try to give information to the one side and to the other side.” She affirms that helping people get off the streets is not just about bringing services to them but also about informing the general public about the reality of homelessness and dispelling misconceptions about who is homeless and why they have ended up without a home. She also underlines the importance of recognizing that many people who do find a place to live or a shelter are forced to put up with terrible conditions. Queerhome* is a relatively new organization and looking for growth in its network and resources. Matilde laments the lack of help for people living at Moritzplatz station and the missed opportunity at Habersaathstraße, where an empty building was used briefly for housing. The show ends with a mix of hopeful wishes, pragmatic realities, practical advice and rueful observations.

Piotr Myszka to jeden z najlepszych polskich żeglarzy w historii i jeden z najwybitniejszych polskich windsurferów. Wielokrotny medalista mistrzostw świata i Europy w windsurfingu, w tym dwukrotny mistrz świata w olimpijskiej klasie RS:X, w swojej gablocie trofeów nie ma tylko medali Igrzysk Olimpijskich. Nie ma, choć mógł je mieć. "Dwa razy byłem tak blisko medalu olimpijskiego i traciłem szanse w ostatnim wyścigu. Gdy w Tokio zmierzałem pewnie po medal i nagle podpłynęli do mnie sędziowie pokazując flagę oznaczającą dyskwalifikację za falstart, cała kariera momentalnie przeleciała mi przed oczami. Tak jak człowiekowi całe życie na łożu śmierci" - mówi Piotr Myszka w rozmowie z Jakubem Jakubowskim.Co jeszcze usłyszycie w podcaście? M.in. o wyborze między sportem a psychiatrą, mordobiciu na sopockim Monciaku, waletowaniu w akademiku, które skończyło się małżeństwem, pilnowaniu dziecka... przez komputer, wchodzeniu na rynek pracy w wieku 42 lat i dniu, który chciałby przeżyć na nowo.Partnerem odcinka jest PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna.

A tout juste 30 ans, Hélène Noesmoen peut se targuer d'avoir un palmarès déjà long comme le bras, au point d'être considérée comme une grande chance de médaille et même de titre pour les prochains Jeux olympiques de Paris 2024. « Je n'aime pas trop me présenter avec des lignes de résultats, je préfère parler d'histoires humaines, qui me ressemblent », commente pourtant celle qui, enfant, s'est, passionnée pour le Vendée Globe, dont elle ne ratait ni les départs ni les arrivées chez elle, aux Sables d'Olonne. « Du premier au dernier on allait tous les voir, sur nos vélos le long du chenal. Quand on est Sablais, le Vendée Globe, c'est quelque chose. » Emerveillée par ces aventuriers qui s'élancent à l'assaut du tour du monde, elle l'est particulièrement par les navigatrices : « Je me souviens de l'arrivée d'Ellen MacArthur et de celle, de nuit, de nuit, de Sam Davies, j'étais fascinée et évidemment, ça m'a inspirée. » Mais son histoire avec la navigation va débuter sur la planche à voile familiale, initiée par un papa champion du monde et d'Europe qui avait « fabriqué pour moi un petit gréement tout léger avec une canne à pêche ». La jeune Hélène Noesmoen mord à l'hameçon pour se lancer en sport/études. « On s'entraînait avec les garçons, c'était motivant parce qu'on essayait toujours de les dépasser, j'ai toujours aimé m'entraîner avec les hommes, ils nous tirent vers le haut. » Viennent ensuite des études d'ingénieur en parallèle de ses entrainements au pôle de Brest et les premiers titres - championne du monde et d'Europe junior, victoire en Coupe du monde – sur le désormais ancien support olympique, la RS:X. Non retenue pour les Jeux de Tokyo, elle anticipe le passage à l'iQFoil, planche à foil retenue pour les Jeux de Paris, plus adaptée à ses qualités physiques. La preuve : très vite, la Sablaise rafle tout, ou presque : triple championne d'Europe de 2020 à 2022, championne du monde en 2021, elle devient la référence mondiale de la discipline. Parallèlement, elle est une des premières femmes à monter sur le F50 de l'équipe de France de SailGP, dans le cadre du programme ouvrant l'accès de ce circuit à des navigatrices. « C'est vraiment bien, ça permet aux femmes d'avoir des opportunités, même si on aimerait avoir des rôles encore plus importants à bord », commente-t-elle en souriant. C'est l'hiver, entre sa préparation physique et ses navigations en vue du rendez-vous crucial de 2023, le test-event cet été à Marseille, Hélène Noesmoen a pris le temps de revenir sur son parcours et son quotidien pour ce 8e épisode de Navigantes. Navigantes est animé par Hélène Cougoule et produit par Tip & Shaft. Diffusé le 18 janvier 2023. Post production : Grégoire Levillain Générique : All the summer girls

Pierre est chirurgien-dentiste, originaire de Saint-Brieuc en Bretagne et sa passion pour la planche à voile remonte à son enfance. Dès l'âge de 11 ans il se lance dans la compétition et se fait vite remarquer : couronné du titre de champion du monde jeune en RS:X à Marsala en 2006, il remporte ensuite la médaille d'or garçon au championnat du monde ISAF jeune en 2007. Se pose ensuite la question difficile du choix des études, Pierre aurait pu s'orienter vers la professionnalisation et embrasser une carrière sportive mais il fait le pari risqué et ambitieux de concilier sport et étude à haut niveau. Il s'inscrit au concours de médecine dans l'idée de devenir chirurgien-dentiste comme le sont ses parents et sa sœur. Après une année de travail acharné et de sacrifice, l'annonce est faite, Pierre va pouvoir reprendre la compétition et intégrer la faculté de chirurgie dentaire de Brest ! Sauf que quelques jours après avoir fêté cette victoire, une erreur de notation déclasse Pierre et on lui annonce qu'il doit repasser le concours… Je vous laisse imaginer la douche froide ! Dans cet épisode, Pierre nous raconte la difficulté et la volonté qu'il lui a fallu pour concilier compétition et études, le scepticisme de certains de ses enseignants qui ont fini par devenir ses plus grands fans lorsque tous ses efforts l'ont propulsé sur le podium des J.O d'été de Rio en 2016. Pierre dégage, une détermination, une force et une tranquillité qui m'ont bluffée ! Il fait partie de ceux qui ont un rêve et ne lâche rien. Son parcours est aussi exceptionnel que Pierre est modeste et je suis ravie de vous le faire découvrir.

The first operating systems as we might think of them today (or at least anything beyond a basic task manager) shipped in the form of Multics in 1969. Some of the people who worked on that then helped created Unix at Bell Labs in 1971. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Unix flowed to education, research, and corporate environments through minicomputers and many in those environments thought a flavor of BSD, or Berkeley Software Distribution, might become the operating system of choice on microcomputers. But the microcomputer movement had a while other plan if only in spite of the elder minicomputers. Apple DOS was created in 1978 in a time when most companies who made computers had to mail their own DOS as well, if only so software developers could built disks capable of booting the machines. Microsoft created their Disk Operating System, or MS-DOS, in 1981. They proceeded to Windows 1 to sit on top of MS-DOS in 1985, which was built in Intel's 8086 assembler and called operating system services via interrupts. That led to poor programmers locking down points in order to access memory addresses and written assuming a single-user operating system. Then came Windows 2 in 1987, Windows 3 in 1992, and released one of the most anticipated operating systems of all time in 1995 with Windows 95. 95 turned into 98, and then Millineum in 2000. But in the meantime, Microsoft began work on another generation of operating systems based on a fusion of ideas between work they were doing with IBM, work architects had done at Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), and rethinking all of it with modern foundations of APIs and layers of security sitting atop a kernel. Microsoft worked on OS/2 with IBM from 1985 to 1989. This was to be the IBM-blessed successor of the personal computer. But IBM was losing control of the PC market with the rise of cloned IBM architectures. IBM was also big, corporate, and the small, fledgeling Microsoft was able to move quicker. Really small companies that find success often don't mesh well with really big companies that have layers of bureaucracy. The people Microsoft originally worked with were nimble and moved quickly. The ones presiding over the massive sales and go to market efforts and the explosion in engineering team size was back to the old IBM. OS/2 had APIs for most everything the computer could do. This meant that programmers weren't just calling assembly any time they wanted and invading whatever memory addresses they wanted. They also wanted preemptive multitasking and threading. And a file system since by then computers had internal hard drives. The Microsoft and IBM relationship fell apart and Microsoft decided to go their own way. Microsoft realized that DOS was old and building on top of DOS was going to some day be a big, big problem. Windows 3 was closer, as was 95, so they continued on with that plan. But they started something similar to what we'd call a fork of OS/2 today. So Gates went out to recruit the best in the industry. He hired Dave Cutler from Digital Equipment to take on the architecture of the new operating system. Cutler had worked on the VMS operating system and helped lead efforts for next-generation operating system at DEC that they called MICA. And that moment began the march towards a new operating system called NT, which borrowed much of the best from VMS, Microsoft Windows, and OS/2 - and had little baggage. Microsoft was supposed to make version 3 of OS/2 but NT OS/2 3.0 would become just Windows NT when Microsoft stopped developing on OS/2. It took 12 years, because um, they had a loooooot of customers after the wild success of first Windows 3 and then Windows 95, but eventually Cutler and team's NT would replace all other operating systems in the family with the release of Windows 2000. Cutler wanted to escape the confines of what was by then the second largest computing company in the world. Cutler worked on VMS and RSX-12 before he got to Microsoft. There were constant turf battles and arguments about microkernels and system architecture and meetings weren't always conducive with actually shipping code. So Cutler went somewhere he could. At least, so long as they kept IBM at bay. Cutler brought some of the team from Digital with him and they got to work on that next generation of operating systems in 1988. They sat down to decide what they wanted to build, using the NS OS/2 operating system they had a starting point. Microsoft had sold Xenix and the team knew about most every operating system on the market at the time. They wanted a multi-user environment like a Unix. They wanted programming APIs, especially for networking, but different than what BSD had. In fact, many of the paths and structures of networking commands in Windows still harken back to emulating those structures. The system would be slow on the 8086 processor, but ever since the days of Xerox PARC, everyone knew Moore's Law was real and that the processors would double in speed every other year. Especially since Moore was still at Intel and could make his law remain true with the 286 and 386 chips in the pipeline. They also wanted the operating system to be portable since IBM selected the Intel CPU but there were plenty of other CPU architectures out there as well. The original name for NT was to be OS/2 3.0. But the IBM and Microsoft relationship fell apart and the two companies took their operating systems in different directions. OS/2 became went the direction of Warp and IBM never recovered. NT went in a direction where some ideas came over from Windows 95 or 3.1 but mostly the team just added layers of APIs and focused on making NT a fully 32-bit version of Windows that could that could be ported to other platforms including ARM, PowerPC, and the DEC Alpha that Cutler had exposure to from his days at Digital. The name became Windows NT and NT began with version 3, as it was in fact the third installment of OS/2. The team began with Cutler and a few others, grew to eight and by the time it finally shipped as NT 3.1 in 1993 there were a few hundred people working on the project. Where Windows 95 became the mass marketed operating system, NT took lessons learned from the Unix, IBM mainframe, and VMS worlds and packed them into an operating system that could run on a corporate desktop computer, as microcomputers were called by then. The project cost $150 million, about the same as the first iPhone. It was a rough start. But that core team and those who followed did what Apple couldn't in a time when a missing modern operating system nearly put Apple out of business. Cutler inspired, good managers drove teams forward, some bad managers left, other bad managers stayed, and in an almost agile development environment they managed to break through the conflicts and ship an operating system that didn't actually seem like it was built by a committee. Bill Gates knew the market and was patient enough to let NT 3 mature. They took the parts of OS/2 like LAN Manager. They took parts of Unix like ping. But those were at the application level. The microkernel was the most important part. And that was a small core team, like it always is. The first version they shipped to the public was Windows NT 3.1. The sales people found it easiest to often say that NT was the business-oriented operating system. Over time, the Windows NT series was slowly enlarged to become the company's general-purpose OS product line for all PCs, and thus Microsoft abandoned the Windows 9x family, which might or might not have a lot to do with the poor reviews Millennium Edition had. Other aspects of the application layer the original team didn't do much with included the GUI, which was much more similar to Windows 3.x. But based on great APIs they were able to move faster than most, especially in that era where Unix was in weird legal territory, changing hands from Bell to Novell, and BSD was also in dubious legal territory. The Linux kernel had been written in 1991 but wasn't yet a desktop-class operating system. So the remaining choices most business considered were really Mac, which had serious operating system issues at the time and seemed to lack a vision since Steve Jobs left the company, or Windows. Windows NT 3.5 was introduced in 1994, followed by 3.51 a year later. During those releases they shored up access control lists for files, functions, and services. Services being similar in nearly every way to a process in Unix. It sported a TCP/IP network stack but also NetBIOS for locating computers to establish a share and a file sharing stack in LAN Manager based on the Server Message Block, or SMB protocol that Barry Feigenbaum wrote at IBM in 1983 to turn a DOS computer into a file server. Over the years, Microsoft and 3COM add additional functionality and Microsoft added the full Samba with LDAP out of the University of Michigan as a backend and Kerberos (out of MIT) to provide single sign-on services. 3.51 also brought a lot of user-mode components from Windows 95. That included the Windows 95 common control library, which included the rich edit control, and a number of tools for developers. NT could run DOS software, now they were getting it to run Windows 95 software without sacrificing the security of the operating system where possible. It kinda' looked like a slightly more boring version of 95. And some of the features were a little harder to use, like configuring a SCSI driver to get a tape drive to work. But they got the ability to run Office 95 and it was the last version that ran the old Program Manager graphical interface. Cutler had been joined by Moshe Dunie, who led the management side of NT 3.1, through NT 4 and became the VP of the Windows Operating System Division so also had responsibility for Windows 98 and 2000. For perspective, that operating system group grew to include 3,000 badged Microsoft employees and about half that number of contractors. Mark Luovsky and Lou Perazzoli joined from Digital. Jim Alchin came in from Banyan Vines. Windows NT 4.0 was released in 1996, with a GUI very similar to Windows 95. NT 4 became the workhorse of the field that emerged for large deployments of computers we now refer to as enterprise computing. It didn't have all the animation-type bells and whistles of 95 but did perform about as well as any operating system could. It had the NT Explorer to browse files, a Start menu, for which many of us just clicked run and types cmd. It had a Windows Desktop Update and a task scheduler. They released a number of features that would take years for other vendors to catch up with. The DCOM, or Distributed Component Object Modeling and Object Linking & Embedding (or OLE) was a core aspect any developer had to learn. The Telephony API (or TAPI) allowed access to the modem. The Microsoft Transaction Server allowed developers to build network applications on their own sockets. The Crypto API allowed developers to encrypt information in their applications. The Microsoft Message Queuing service allowed queuing data transfer between services. They also built in DirectX support and already had OpenGL support. The Task Manager in NT 4 was like an awesome graphical version of the top command on Unix. And it came with Internet Explorer 2 built in. NT 4 would be followed by a series of service packs for 4 years before the next generation of operating system was ready. That was Windows 5, or more colloquially called Windows 2000. In those years NT became known as NT Workstation, the server became known as NT Server, they built out Terminal Server Edition in collaboration with Citrix. And across 6 service packs, NT became the standard in enterprise computing. IBM released OS/2 Warp version 4.52 in 2001, but never had even a fraction of the sales Microsoft did. By contrast, NT 5.1 became Windows XP and 6 became Vista in while OS/2 was cancelled in 2005.
If ETFs were living creatures, they might be cockroaches—they can survive almost anything. And yet Russia's invasion of Ukraine has presented a rare test. The VanEck Russia ETF, or $RSX, has seen its trading halted; the product holds shares of Russian companies, many of them in the energy and financial sectors. Investors may end up recovering only a fraction of their exposures; retail traders who used options to short the ETF ahead of its mid-February nosedive may not be able to collect their winnings, either. Elsewhere in the world, the exchange-traded product $VXX went haywire recently, with Barclays temporarily suspending share issuance. What's happening here? On this episode of Trillions, Eric and Joel discuss these recent events with Dave Nadig of ETF Trends, and Katie Greifeld, ETF reporter with Bloomberg News and the co-host of ETF IQ on Bloomberg TV. They go over the unprecedented nature of RSX's circumstances and what it all means, and they explore why the best days of exchange-traded notes might be behind them. Eric also adds audio from his native habitat: the Philadelphia train station. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

Hi everyone.Another week has gone by and the war in Ukraine continues. It feels self-indulgent to even write about investing from the comfort of a safe and warm home. Last weekend, I went to Washington Square Park to a demonstration. It wasn't as big a crowd as I had expected. Some Ukrainian friends went to Washington DC. Many more are active on Instagram, venting their anger, sharing their fears, and raising donations.As I experience the war through the “reality tunnel” of social media, I constantly have to remind myself that that the sheer quantity of attention-grabbing information is not equivalent to getting a high quality picture. It's Kahneman's “what you see is all there is” bias (or availability heuristic?). If my Twitter feed is filled with follies and fumbles by the Russian military (like busted tires, columns stuck in the mud or out of fuel, abandoned vehicles being lit on fire, even the paratroopers not living up to expectations), and yet they're advancing, then I'm probably getting a biased picture.We're witnessing what it's like to disconnect a modern economy from the rest of the world. Garry Kasparov called it the “technological stone age.” Axios had a list of companies withdrawing and the number of global brands participating seems unprecedented? You can find anecdotal evidence of the impact all over Twitter (helpful thread). For example: without Apple Pay and Google Pay you need cash and paper tickets.Marc Rubinstein wrote about the ongoing financial warfare: “as a means of inflicting economic pain, targeting the banking system is a good place to aim. The world learned that accidentally during the global financial crisis, and many European countries learned it again several years later.” With payment flows disconnected and trading on Moscow's exchange halted, Russian stocks crashed in London. There was an offer for Sberbank at stock at literally $0.00. Though I started getting confused when I saw the steep sell-off in Russian energy names. I was also astonished to discover that I own some 150 shares of Yandex in my personal account. As I looked at the stock, its price frozen, I faintly remembered thoughts like “oh, the Google of Russia, probably oversold, and surely Putin wouldn't risk his economy on some absurd 20th century invasion.” It's the kind of braindead trade - no, strike that, mindless gamble - that I unfortunately do from time to time. It was also a mistake that my mind apparently quickly dumped into the memory hole to protect my self image.. Talk about someone studying experts only to act like a complete amateur. It is my hope that by writing about it - by creating a kind of public shaming - I will finally rid myself of this behavior. And I will let Peter Lynch remind us all why compulsive bottom-fishing is treacherous:I was still confused about the price action in Russian stocks and the Russian ETF, RSX, which seemed to trade at a big premium to its NAV. I turned to Dave Nadig (Chief Investment Officer and Director of Research at ETF Trends) who has written about exactly this issue (and who also appeared on Infinite Loops).I hope you enjoy our brief conversation around this topic. For more context and charts check out Dave's writing and Twitter feed (Eric Balchunas is also good and of course Matt Levine has written about the issue as well).A few key takeaways:* There's precedent in an ETF's liquid underlying assets turning illiquid (or a permanent liquidity mismatch such as with junk bonds). The local stock exchange being closed is merely a special case. However, there are few precedents for the uncertainty around Russia given the small number of modern pariah states - think Iran, Cuba, North Korea.* Stock prices collapsing has a lot to do with the uncertainty around the status of the depositary receipts traded abroad. Gazprom's assets are valuable. It's equity is probably valuable. But depositary receipts owned by foreigners may or may not be valuable in the future. As Mark Gutman put it: “The value of a piece of paper that gives you rights to nothing is zero.”* With the underlying market closed, the ETF becomes a proxy for price discovery. But once the creation of new shares is suspended, it becomes disconnected from the value of the underlying, essentially like a close-end fund that can trade at a premium or discount to NAV. * The removal of Russian shares from emerging market indices (and therefore ETFs) at a price “at a price that is effectively zero” was particularly puzzling to me and Dave walked me through the process. Personally, I think these have at least some option value and it's going to be interesting to see if at some point in the future we'll hear about a creative trade.Meanwhile, Russian traders are left with what the Germans call Galgenhumor or gallows humor:“Dear stock market, you were close to us, you were interesting, rest in peace dear comrade.”Personally, I'm encouraged to see that the West is getting serious chasing down the oligarchs. Even Germany seized a $600 million yacht. (Although I'm not quite sure about the legal backdrop of seizing private property of people loosely affiliated with a hostile regime? If someone has a good background piece, I'd be interested). My hope is that pressure on Russia's elite could become Putin's undoing (and I could really use more hope when some people are talking about a 10 percent chance of the world ending).Still, it's worth considering the long-term implications and downside of economic warfare. Russia is going to move closer to China (worst case: a nuclear-armed vassal state?). The world will experience more sustained inflation in energy and food. And it saddens me to think that there are likely a great many people in Russia who don't support the war but can't risk jail or beatings to protest. Who will be fed propaganda and be censored in their speech. Feelings of hostility and bitterness among average people will get entrenched as the hearts harden.Men in my family fought and died in the German armed forces during WW2. My surviving grandparents, now in their late 80s, were children when the war ended and vividly remember the bombings, artillery shelling, and tense final days of fighting and surrender. These memories never leave. It's haunting to think that new ones much like them are being created as I write this. I hope this will be the last time I write about the war, but I doubt it.Stanley Druckenmiller interview with The Hustle in 2021:On the biggest risks to the equity market:Stanley Druckenmiller: Without a doubt: inflation strong enough that the Fed responds to it. No doubt about it. This bubble has gone long enough and it's extended enough that the minute they start tightening, the equity market should go down a lot. Particularly with so much of the cap weighted in growth stocks, which would be hit the worst. And our central case is that inflation occurs, but we're open-minded to something like ‘07-'08 when you never really got to the inflation because the bubble popped. So, inflation never got to the manifestation stage.

Format particulier pour ce 54e et dernier épisode de l'année de Pos. Report, qui est l'occasion de présenter les huit personnes composant aujourd'hui l'équipe de Tip & Shaft et de leur demander quels sont leurs coups de cœur de l'année voile 2021. Violette Genot, chargée de contenus et marketing digital, est la première à s'exprimer, confiant avoir particulièrement apprécié le Pro Sailing Tour, nouveau circuit des Ocean Fifty, et son équipage vainqueur, celui de Leyton, mené par Sam Goodchild. Marine Guillemot, chargée de projet sur les événements, a quant à elle beaucoup aimé les arrivées successives du Vendée Globe, toujours riches en émotions, elle a d'ailleurs suivi sur l'eau celle du dernier à avoir franchi la ligne, le Finlandais Ari Hussela. Cheffe de projet contenu et marketing digital, Amandine Luce retient avant tout la Solitaire du Figaro, entre domination de Pierre Quiroga et persévérance de ceux qui, chaque année, remettent ça, à l'instar de Xavier Macaire et Alexis Loison. Directeur des opérations, Frédéric Chevance a, lui, particulièrement apprécié le profil du skipper allemand Boris Herrmann, 5e du Vendée Globe, il adresse également un coup de cœur « auto-promo » à Sailorz, la plateforme de vidéo à la demande dédiée à la voile de compétition, lancée par Tip & Shaft le 1er décembre. Axel Capron, rédacteur en chef de Tip & Shaft, a quant à lui retenu la victoire de Pierre Quiroga sur la Solitaire, pleine de maîtrise, et la Transat Jacques Vabre en Class40, qui a révélé une multitude de talents et de profils différents. Même coup de cœur pour la Class40 chez Pierre-Yves Lautrou, éditeur de Tip & Shaft, qui met en avant l'évolution technologique des bateaux, l'ancien ministe place également en haut de la pile de ses moments forts de l'année l'édition 2021 de la Mini Transat, riche en rebondissements. Nous terminons ce tour de table avec Violette Lemercier, cheffe de projet événements, qui, comme Violette Genot, a retenu le Pro Sailing Tour, tout en gardant une affection particulière pour les séries olympiques – elle a navigué à haut niveau en 49er FX -, et notamment la performances de Charline Picon sur les Jeux (médaille d'argent en planche RS:X). Diffusé le 21 décembre 2021 Générique : Fast and wild/EdRecords Post-production : Clovis Tisserand
Médaillée d'or en RS:X aux Jeux Olympiques de Rio en 2016 puis d'argent à Tokyo l'été dernier, la véliplanchiste Charline Picon est l'invitée de Flo Masnada dans Belle Trace. Dès le début de cet échange, elle annonce la couleur : dans l'optique des JO de Paris 2024, elle a décidé de passer de la planche à voile RS:X au 49er FX, un dériveur léger, réservé aux femmes, qui se dispute en tandem.Elle explique ce choix par sa volonté d'être désormais dans le partage avec une coéquipière, en l'occurence Sarah Steyaert (34 ans), championne du monde de Laser radial en 2008 et cinquième des Jeux de Pékin. (06:40) Dans Belle Trace, elle revient ausi sur son "ancienne carrière" de véliplanchiste (14:47), ses olympiades avec ses médailles et évoque sa relation particulière avec son entraîneur.C'est tout cela que Charline Picon raconte cette semaine dans le podcast "Belle Trace", sur Eurosport. Bonne écoute Ecoutez d'autres épisodes de Belle Trace : Guy Drut : "Grâce aux paroles de Killy, je me suis forgé un mental de vainqueur"Samir Aït Saïd : "A Paris, ça va être un happy ending" Yannick Bestaven : "Humidité permanente, chauffage inexistant...

Mark and Christian discuss doubts about Trump's new media venture. Mark is pessimistic about Taiwan's political strategy and ability to reopen. Christian is bullish on Russia and energy, especially RSX. Mark talks up blue chips that trade in Taiwan, including TSMC, banks, and Wan Hai Lines. What is Beijing's plan to attack Taiwan, and will it ever come to that?

Oxide and Friends Twitter Space: August 16th, 2021The Showstopper ShowWe've been holding a Twitter Space weekly on Mondays at 5p for about an hour. Even though it's not (yet?) a feature of Twitter Spaces, we have been recording them all; here is the recording for our Twitter Space for August 16th, 2021.In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, speakers on August 16th included special guests G. Pascal Zachary (see gpascalzachary.com), and Jessamyn West (see jessamyn.medium.com), as well as Dan Cross, Tom Lyon, Josh Clulow, and others. (Did we miss your name and/or get it wrong? Drop a PR!)Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them: G. Pascal Zachary's “Showstopper! The Breakneck Race to Create Windows NT and the Next Generation at Microsoft” book Tracy Kidder's “The Soul of a New Machine” book [@0:46](https://youtu.be/hlQuF75L4TE?t=46) “The endless debate of NT vs Unix.” Bryan: My whole career was kind of defined by going where Windows wasn't. I don't know what I was expecting, but what I found was a real time capsule from software development in the 90's. [@2:46](https://youtu.be/hlQuF75L4TE?t=166) Jessamyn: There was some familial impact (from developing DG Eclipse) that wasn't mentioned in the book. “O, Engineers!” retrospective from wired [@6:30](https://youtu.be/hlQuF75L4TE?t=390) What was Kidder's process? “He lived in my house!” [@8:32](https://youtu.be/hlQuF75L4TE?t=512) Zachary interviewed family members extensively. > People couldn't leave, they were staying at the office all the time. [@14:23](https://youtu.be/hlQuF75L4TE?t=863) I do feel this is a time capsule. A time before two mega-trends hit: the Internet and open source. [@17:33](https://youtu.be/hlQuF75L4TE?t=1053) Microsoft was kind of a joke software company in the early 90's. > Dave Cutler was a force of nature. [@19:59](https://youtu.be/hlQuF75L4TE?t=1199) No one understood why someone was good at coding. It was a mystery to everyone, why there was such a wide stratification of coders. > There were projects that never saw the light of day. Ashton-Tate, dBase > There was a sense from Cutler and Perazzoli, that leadership of the team, > that these guys at Microsoft really didn't get how serious the process > of building this battleship was. I think the level of anguish did surprise me. [@23:59](https://youtu.be/hlQuF75L4TE?t=1439) In “Soul of the New Machine,” the machine was the star, and people served it. East Coast vs West Coast attitudes. > On the West Coast, the personal computer were supposed to help you > actualize your counter-cultural values. Ken Olsen of DEC > Computing is equivalent with IBM. There was no software industry > so long as IBM gave all the software away for free. [@26:09](https://youtu.be/hlQuF75L4TE?t=1569) Crashes. > Wozniak dreamed of owning > his own PDP > computer, which cost as much as a house. So he was aware of the robustness > of the minicomputer, and by contrast, the puny power of a personal computer. Thirtysomething > Dave Cutler was not cuddly. He was menacing, he could lose his temper. > And I tried not to get to close to him physically for that reason. > There were two looming father figures in Cutler and Gates. > And I think it created a lot of anxiety. [@29:52](https://youtu.be/hlQuF75L4TE?t=1792) The stakes for NT at Microsoft were high. Fred Brooks' “The Mythical Man-Month” book > It was a watershed moment in the history of computing. > It was more like the last battleship, rather than the next frontier. Bryan: I didn't realize this, that Gates was arguing against memory protection with Cutler. From our perspective, shipping an operating system without memory protection, in an era when microprocessors supported it, is malpractice. [@33:14](https://youtu.be/hlQuF75L4TE?t=1994) Cutler's vendetta against Unix. > Conflict was at the heart of innovation at Microsoft at that time. Mitch Kapor of Lotus. > These early personal computer innovators were dismissed and sometimes > humiliated by mainstream big iron people of the 60's and 70's. Bill Gates' “The Road Ahead” book doesn't mention the internet. Zachary's “Endless Frontier: Vannevar Bush, Engineer of the American Century” book > Computers on the West Coast were seen as extensions of your creativity, > and a tool for liberation. And for a long time that dominated the horizons. In 2005 Gates and Ballmer don't want to do cloud computing. “Who's gonna want to put their stuff in the cloud?” We've found that computing is a collective experience. [@38:28](https://youtu.be/hlQuF75L4TE?t=2308) Email and personal messaging Sun Ray thin client computer Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson's “The UNIX time-sharing system” paper > Unix was an experiment in collaboration. RSX-11 for the PDP-11. And VMS for the VAX. > The attitude of looking down on Unix (as undesigned, academic) is > carried forward by Microsofties today. Tom: You can forgive Cutler's misgivings, because Unix pretty much stole the thunder out of VMS. [@42:24](https://youtu.be/hlQuF75L4TE?t=2544) Interviews for the book. Family members perspective on workplace behavior. Betty Shanahan, Society of Women Engineers. Brief Q&A EAGLE (Eclipse Appreciation and Gratitude for Lonely Evenings) award > Betty's husband got an award for having to do his own laundry… Jessamyn's “Women in Early Tech” blog entry about Shanahan [@48:10](https://youtu.be/hlQuF75L4TE?t=2890) Where did these engineers end up? They are broadly no longer engineers. This project burned people out. Short 1993 article by Zachary: “After two years in ship mode… a lot of people are angry, tired, and burned out.” Johanne Caron, linkedin Pascal: Kidder was like a fly on the wall. I was doing reconstruction as well as observation. I talked to family members to get the whole picture. [@53:20](https://youtu.be/hlQuF75L4TE?t=3200) Cutler got to run his own show. > Ken Olsen was like the LBJ > of the computer industry: he's waist deep in the big money. Corporate culture. Hotshot coders. Renegades, rebels, hero programmers. > It's the majesty and mystery of code writing, that there's such a wide > range of performance. Pascal: I wasn't invited to the 25 year anniversary of the NT team.. [@1:01:47](https://youtu.be/hlQuF75L4TE?t=3707) Journalists and companies. > Soul of a New Machine was very flattering to the company. Jobs backdated stock options, in violation of clear federal law. Gates repeatedly stole things. > The hobbyists were a small market, Microsoft needed to sell to corporations. Zachary's “Software, the Invisible Technology” 2016 essay > Where we used to relate to programs, we now relate to services. I think there needs to be a greater literature of software: the making of it, its purpose, its vulnerabilities, its values.Tom: It's because us practitioners are too embarrased about it all.. [@1:05:49](https://youtu.be/hlQuF75L4TE?t=3949) Josh compares and contrasts. > Coders don't have to test their own stuff. The second stringers do that. Pascal: I would encourage people to write more about software and how it's created. Zachary's “Code Rush” film ~56mins about Netscape. [@1:08:58](https://youtu.be/hlQuF75L4TE?t=4138) The rise of open source. Software as immutable artifact: once it's written, it's written. > Amazon, Google, Netflix are not possible without open source. [@1:10:50](https://youtu.be/hlQuF75L4TE?t=4250) Jessamyn on helping people use tech. Accessibility > I'm a service oriented person. I work with > people who are struggling with technology. [@1:15:24](https://youtu.be/hlQuF75L4TE?t=4524) Agency of users. > Bryan: Without memory protection, you would lose hours of work. > One bad application could cause the computer to reboot. Open source tools, and user accessible scripting/modding. Gary Larson's “The Far Side” comic “Blah blah blah Ginger” Tweet series about Internet Explorer's 25 year anniversary [@1:22:01](https://youtu.be/hlQuF75L4TE?t=4921) Pascal's parting thoughts. > The transformation of software from artifact into service, > is both fabulous and also scary. It changes all the time. > When NT was done, it was a fixed unchanging thing. Bryan: The darker side to services is people need to attend to it whenever it breaks. Adam: It's the death march with no end. > Pascal: Thanks everyone, I'd love to hear from you individually. > I'm interested in why people continue to turn to Showstopper > and find some value in it. Pascal: I encourage you to think about the literary aspects of software. I think it's valuable for society and civilization, for our culture, because there really is an artistic, artisanal side to software. Thanks again for including me. If we got something wrong or missed something, please file a PR! Our next Twitter space will likely be on Monday at 5p Pacific Time; stay tuned to our Twitter feeds for details. We'd love to have you join us, as we always love to hear from new speakers!

Ambition Japon, le podcast de la Fédération Française de Voile vous propose de découvrir les 14 athlètes français sélectionnés pour les Jeux Olympiques de Tokyo. Notre 5ème épisode fait la part belle à Thomas Goyard, sélectionné en planche à voile RSX. C'est probablement l'athlète au profil le plus atypique : Originaire de Nouvelle Calédonie, c'est sur un bateau qu'il a grandi, loin des écrans et de la télé. C'est à Tahiti qu'il goute à la planche à voile pour la première fois, mais le garçon est un touche à tout et s'essaie sur d'autres supports. Tant que ça glisse, il faut qu'il essaie, une habitude qu'il n'a d'ailleurs jamais perdue. Champion du monde de RSX en 2016, sur le podium des derniers championnats du monde en 2020, il va découvrir les Jeux pour la toute première fois.

Vindøjet kigger stille og roligt frem mod en af årets store sejlsportsbegivenheder: OL!Og i denne uge åbner vi ballet med windsurferen Lærke Buhl-Hansen fra Århus Sejlklub, som skal til OL på RS:X, eller bare windsurf, hvis man skal gøre det simpelt. Lærke var også med til OL i Rio, og troede egentlig ikke, hun skulle prøve en tur mere i det store olympiske apparat, men efter at have sejlet halvvejs rundt om jorden, så fandt hun ud af, at det skulle have en skud mere. Vi taler om træning, surf-udstyr og dykker ned i den lidt specielle vej, Lærke har taget, for i dag at være en del af verdenseliten med top-10 placeringer ved de sidste års europamesterskaber. Vi kommer selvfølgelig heller ikke uden om at tale om corona, som Lærke Buhl-Hansen dog ikke har været lige så udfordret af som andre atleter. Som hun selv udtrykte det, så har hun fået lov at træne til at peake i 2020, for så at få mulighed for at gøre det igen her i 2021. Al held og lykke får hun med her i podcastland, hvis du vil følge hende, så kan du gøre det på facebook, hvor hun hedder Windsurfer Lærke Buhl Hansen.

Pierre est chirurgien-dentiste, originaire de Saint-Brieuc en Bretagne et sa passion pour la planche à voile remonte à son enfance. Dès l'âge de 11 ans il se lance dans la compétition et se fait vite remarquer : couronné du titre de champion du monde jeune en RS:X à Marsala en 2006, il remporte ensuite la médaille d'or garçon au championnat du monde ISAF jeune en 2007. Se pose ensuite la question difficile du choix des études, Pierre aurait pu s'orienter vers la professionnalisation et embrasser une carrière sportive mais il fait le pari risqué et ambitieux de concilier sport et étude à haut niveau. Il s'inscrit au concours de médecine dans l'idée de devenir chirurgien-dentiste comme le sont ses parents et sa sœur. Après une année de travail acharné et de sacrifice, l'annonce est faite, Pierre va pouvoir reprendre la compétition et intégrer la faculté de chirurgie dentaire de Brest ! Sauf que quelques jours après avoir fêté cette victoire, une erreur de notation déclasse Pierre et on lui annonce qu'il doit repasser le concours… Je vous laisse imaginer la douche froide ! Dans cet épisode, Pierre nous raconte la difficulté et la volonté qu'il lui a fallu pour concilier compétition et études, le scepticisme de certains de ses enseignants qui ont fini par devenir ses plus grands fans lorsque tous ses efforts l'ont propulsé sur le podium des J.O d'été de Rio en 2016. Pierre dégage, une détermination, une force et une tranquillité qui m'ont bluffée ! Il fait partie de ceux qui ont un rêve et ne lâche rien. Son parcours est aussi exceptionnel que Pierre est modeste et je suis ravie de vous le faire découvrir.

Aaron McIntosh has worn a series of different hats throughout his career. As an athlete, he won three windsurfing world titles in the 1990s and went on to win bronze at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. For the last decade he’s been the windsurfing coach with the Dutch national team and achieved incredible success, delivering multiple world and Olympic titles. More latterly, Aaron has been an advocate for windfoiling, pushing for the class to replace the RS:X on the Olympic programme, which was confirmed late last year for the 2024 Paris Olympics. We talk to Aaron about his journey to the top as an athlete, his relationship with Bruce Kendall and his Olympic experiences and then his reinvention as a top coach. We also delve into why someone who coached the world’s top two RS:X windsurfers would push so vigorously to see that class dropped in favour of windfoiling, and what he thinks the change could mean to the New Zealand windsurfing scene which was once at the top of the world but has been largely dormant for the best part of the last decade.

"Ten dodatkowy rok to 12 miesięcy ciężkiego treningu i wyrzeczeń, ale postanowiłem ten dodatkowy rok poświęcić" – mówi o przełożonych igrzyskach olimpijskich windsurfer Piotr Myszka. Tłumaczy też, dlaczego w deskowej klasie RS:X przełożenie igrzysk ma dodatkowe reperkusje. W rozmowie z dziennikarzem RMF FM Patrykiem Serwańskim Myszka opowiada również o rodzinnym Mrągowie i ukochanych Mazurach.
VMS and OpenVMS Welcome to the History of Computing Podcast, where we explore the history of information technology. Because understanding the past prepares us to innovate (and sometimes cope with) the future! Today we're going to talk through the history of VMS. Digital Equipment Corporation gave us many things. Once upon a time, I used a DEC Alpha running OpenVMS. The PDP-11 had changed the world, introducing us to a number of modern concepts in computers such as time sharing. The PDP was a minicomputer, smaller and more modern than mainframes. But by 1977 it was time for the next generation and the VAX ushered in the 32-bit era of computers and through the evolutions evolve into the VaXServer, helping to usher in the modern era of client-server architectures. It supported Branch delay slots and suppressed instructions. The VAX adopted virtual memory, privilege modes, and needed an operating system capable of harnessing all the new innovations packed into the VAX-11 and on. That OS would be Virtual Memory System, or VMS. The PDP had an operating system called RSX-11, which had been released in 1972. The architect was Dan Brevik, who had originally called it DEX as a homonym with DEC. But that was trademarked so he and Bob Decker over in marketing wrote down a bunch of acronyms and then found one that wasn't trademarked. Then they had to reverse engineer a meaning out of the acronym to be Real-Time System Executive, or RSX. But for the VAX they needed more and so Dave Cutler from the RSX team, then in his early 30s, did much of the design work. Dick Hustvedt and Peter Lipman would join him and they would roll up to Roger Gourd, who worked with DECs VP of engineering Gordon Bell to build the environment. The project began as Starlet, named because it was meant to support the Startlet family of processors. A name that still lives on in various files in the operating system. The VMS Operating System would support RISC instructions, support 32-bit virtual address extension, would work with DECnet, would have virtual memory of course, as the name implies. VMS would bring a number of innovations in the world of clustering. VMS would use a modified Julian Day system to keep track of system time, which subtracts the Julian Date from 2,400,000.5. Why? Because it begins on November 17th, 1858. THat's not why, that the day it starts. Why? Because it's not Y10,000 compliant only having 4 slots for dates. Wait, that's not a thing. Anyway, how did VMS come to be? One of the killer apps for the system though, was that DECnet was built on DIGITAL Network Architecture, or DNA. It first showed up in RSX, where you could like two PDPs but you could have 32 nodes by the time VaX showed up and 255 with VMS 2. Suddenly there was a simple way to network these machines, built into the OS. Version 1 was released in 1977 in support of the VAX-11/780. Version 2 would come along in 1980 for the 750 and Version 3 would come in 1982 for the 730. The VAX 8600 would ship in 84 with version 4. And here's where it gets interesting. The advent of what were originally called microcomputers but are now called personal computers had come in the late 70s and early 80s. By 1984, MicroVMS was released as a port for running on the MicroVAX, Digitals attempt to go down-market. Much as IBM had missed minicomputers initially, Digital had missed the advent of microcomputers though and the platform never took off. Bill Gates would adorn the cover of Time that year. Of course, by 84, Apple had AppleTalk and DOS was ready to plug in as well. Bill Joy moved BSD away from VAX in 1986, after having been with the PDP and then VAX for years, before leaving for Sun. At this point the platform was getting a bit long in the tooth. Intel and Microsoft were just starting to emerge as dominant players in computing and DEC was the number two software company in the world, with a dominant sales team and world class research scientists. They released ULTRIX the same year though, as well as the DECStation with a desktop environment called UW for ULTRIX Workstation. Ultrix was based on BSD 4 and given that most Unixes had been written on PDPs, Bill Joy knew many of the group launched by Bill Munson, Jerry Brenner, Fred Canter and Bill Shannon. Cutler from that OpenVMS team hates Unix. Rather than have a unified approach, the strategy was fragmented. You see a number of times in the history of computing where a company begins to fail not because team members are releasing things that don't fit within the strategy but because they release things that compete directly with a core product without informing their customers why. Thus bogging down the sales process and subsequent adoption in confusion. This led to brain drain. Cutler ended up going to the Windows NT team and bringing all of his knowledge about security and his sincere midwestern charm to Microsoft, managing the initial development after relations with IBM in the OS/2 world soured. He helped make NT available for the Alpha but also helping make NT dominate the operating system from his old home. Cutler would end up working on XP, Server operating systems, Azure and getting the Xbox to run as a host for Hyper-V . He's just that rad and his experience goes back to the mid 60s, working on IBM 7044 mainframes. Generational changes in software development, like the move to object oriented programming or micro services, can force a lot of people into new career trajectories. But he was never one of those. That's the kind of talent you just really, really, really hate to watch leave an organization - someone that even Microsoft name drops in developer conference session to get ooohs and aaahs. And there were a lot of them leaving as DEC shifted into more of a sales and marketing company and less into a product and research company as it had founded to be back when Ken Olsen was at MIT. We saw the same thing happen in other areas of DEC - competing chips coming out of different groups. But still they continued on. And the lack of centralizing resources and innovating quickly and new technical debt being created caused the release of 5 to slip from a 2 year horizon to a 4 year horizon, shipping in 1988 with Easynet, so you could connect 2,000 computers together. Version 6 took 5 years to get out the door in 1993. In a sign of the times, 1991 saw VMS become OpenVMS and would make OpenVMS POSIX compliant. 1992 saw the release of the DEC Alpha and OpenVMS would quickly get support for the RISC processor which OpenVMS would support through the transition of Alpha to Itanium when Intel bought the rights for the Alpha architecture. Version 7 of OpenVMS shipped in 1996 but by then the company was in a serious period of decline and corporate infighting and politics killed them. 1998 came along and they practically bankrupted Compaq by being acquired and then HP swooped in and got both for a steal. Enterprise computing has never been the same. HP made some smart decisions though. They inked a deal with Intel and Alpha would become the HP Itanium and made by Intel. Intel then had a RISC processor and all the IP that goes along with that. Version 8 would not be released until 2003. 7 years without an OS update while the companies were merged and remerged had been too long. Market share had all but disappeared. DECnet would go on to live in the Linux kernel until 2010. Use of the protocol was replaced by TCP/IP much the same way most of the other protocols got replaced. OpenVMS development has now been licensed to VSI and is now run by vmssoftware, which supports many former DEC and HP employees. There are a lot of great, innovative, unique features of OpenVMS. There's a common language environment, that allows for calling functions easily and independently of various languages. You can basically mix Fortran, C, BASIC, and other languages. It's kinda' like my grandmas okra. She said I'd like it but I didn't. VMS is built much the same way. They built it one piece at a time. To quote Johnny Cash: “The transmission was a fifty three, And the motor turned out to be a seventy three, And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone.” You can of course install PHP, Ruby, Java, and other more modern languages if you want. And the System Services, Run Time Libraries, and language support make it easy to use whatever works for a task across them pretty equally and provides a number of helpful debugging tools along the way. And beyond debugging, OpenVMS pretty much supports anything you find required by the National Computer Security Center and the DoD. And after giving the middle finger to Intel for decades… As with most operating systems, VMS is finally being ported to the x86 architecture signaling the end of one of the few holdouts to the dominance of the x86 architecture in some ways. The Itatiums have shipped less and less chips every year, so maybe we're finally at that point. Once OpenVMS has been ported to x86 we may see the final end to the chip line as the last windows versions to support them stopped actually being supported by Microsoft about a month before this recording. The end of an era. I hope Dave Cutler looks back on his time on the VMS project fondly. Sometimes a few decades of crushing an old employer can help heal some old wounds. His contributions to computing are immense, as are those of Digital. And we owe them all a huge thanks for the techniques and lessons learned in the development of VMS in the early days, as with the early days of BSD, the Mac, Windows 1, and others. It all helped build a massive body of knowledge that we continue to iterate off of to this day. I also owe them a thank you for the time I got to spend on my first DEC Alpha. I didn't get to touch another 64 bit machine for over a decade. And I owe them a thanks for everything I learned using OpenVMS on that machine! And to you, wonderful listers. Thank you for listening. And especially Derek, for reaching out to tell me I should move OpenVMS up in the queue. I guess it goes without saying… I did! Hope you all have a great day!
Lontoon 2012 kesäolympialaisten hopeamitalisti Tuuli Petäjä-Sirén (s. 1983) on kilpaillut purjelautailun olympialuokassa RS:X kansainvälisellä tasolla vuodesta 2006 lähtien.

Kasey is looking for a car to replace the RSX, and we discuss the World's Greatest Drag Race on MotorTrend. Spoiler Alert
It's cyclists vs. motorists on this week's episode, and how we think both worlds can live in harmony with one another. We also give our first impressions of the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, and answer audience questions about good cars for college and how to properly break in a new car.

We welcome Eli back, discuss the Karma Revero, review the Stelvio, learn about Kasey's damaged RSX, we pick 3 cars, and discover the meaning behind the Alpha Romeo Logo.
Episode 102 has a radio show format. In this one, we cover Meb’s Tweets of the Week, some write-in questions, Twitter questions, and our first-ever call-in question. We discuss the “Stay Rich” portfolio, and the unfortunate reality that even the safest portfolios can suffer ~25% drawdowns. Next, there’s discussion of stock buybacks and a recent push from Senator Tammy Baldwin to introduce a bill that would prohibit companies from repurchasing their own shares (she claims it’s exacerbating the wealth gap). Then, with volatility showing some life in the market, there’s discussion of volatility clustering. Next up is the investing service, Robinhood, which is now referring to calls and puts as “going up” and “going down.” Also, an ETF for companion pets filed by Gabelli. We then dive into questions. Some that you’ll hear Meb address include: How do you keep a level head when markets are imploding around you? Meb and Elroy Dimson discussed the historical returns of housing and indicated that owning a house is not a high-performing investment, relative to other asset classes. However, if the alternative to buying a house is paying rent, often at a similar cost to a monthly mortgage payment, how does this factor in to the assessment of the investment? I understand that any given strategy can underperform the market for long periods of time. What is a reasonable time-frame to fairly evaluate the results of any particular strategy? Valuation difference in countries is often caused by sector structure. Can you explain that? The AUM of Target Date Funds was at $250B in '08. Many investors were shocked at the bad performance in '08. Target Date Funds AUM is now $900B. What's the industry's level of responsibility to educate? Is Russia worth the current political risk for long term investor (5-7 years)? If so, is it best to look at specific Russian equities or an index such as the RSX? All this and more in Episode 102.
Aujourd'hui, on parle de nutrition, de concombre et de processeur RSX présent dans les PS3. Au programme : du muscle, des rires, et un petit potager qu'on entretient avec amour.

In this episode, we feature part one of our interview with the Radonic Family about their extensive trailer sailer cruising. We have some more unusual sailing news and our product of the week will help you battle bugs. Intro Chat We have been on shore the last few weekends, but had some fun meeting up with our local listeners and newly ASA101 certified sailors Colby and Stacey for Colbys birthday. We also celebrated Brandy's 20th High School Reunion. Our next trip is over the Labor Day weekend to the Hammock Beach Resort and Marina in Palm Coast, Florida. We are attending the Annapolis Sailboat Show October 6-9. Let us know if you are attending and we will find a time to meet everyone. We watched the Olympic Sailing races , congratulations to US Sailor, Caleb Paine, on winning a bronze medal in the Finn class. Steve exchanged emails with Olympic commentator, Gary Jobson about the RSX sailboard races. Gary even covered the question Steve asked in the live Olympic coverage! Steve heard from his high school friend, Rocque, in Chicago who just completed his second Chicago to Mackinac race. This year they had some rough weather. Twenty boats left the race with damage and one boat sank after losing its rudder post. See the picture below from Rocque's satellite weather, the yellow area on the right is Lake Michigan. You can see the storms coming from Wisconsin. Rocque said they got knocked down in 40 knots of wind, but they only sustained "cruiser damage" which happened when the microwave came lose and flew across the boat. They finished the race in fifth place in the cruising class. Rocque sails a 36ft. Island Packet Estero We released our video on our $200 boat air conditioning system. We got some great comments that highlighted some security issues we did not consider. Give it a watch and comment with any recommendations. Steve read this article on the UK program that started charging consumers seven cents for each plastic grocery bag which resulted in a 90% reduction in plastic bag consumption in one year! Steve decided to implement our own program at home to motivate us to stop using plastic bags so we started the "Bags to Boat Fund." We owe $1 for every plastic bag we use. The program has been a success and we have only used seven bags in the first month. The downside is that we only put $7 in the boat fund. We may change the program to add to the boat fund for each bag we avoid. Send us your ideas! The Sailing Rode Leukemia Fundraising Brandy was diagnosed with leukemia in 2009. She is one of the lucky survivors as her cancer has been treated so far by a great drug therapy. That drug did not exist a few years before she was diagnosed and her prognosis would not have been as good before research created the drug therapy. In 2010, we created a crazy boating event called Lake Conway Wipeout that we eventually turned into a charity event. We ran the event for 5 years and raised over $30,000 for leukemia research. The event grew too large to manage safely so we ended it in 2014. Here are a couple videos on the event. Wipeout 1 & Wipeout 2 We are asking for your help to support the annual fundraising for Leukemia and Lymphoma research. It only takes a couple minutes and a few dollars make a big difference. Click Here to Donate to The Sailing Rode Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Team You can also join our team and do your own local fundraising and participate in the LLS Light the Night Walk in October. All the details are on the site. Also please consider registering to be a potential bone marrow donor at BeTheMatch.org The second most common Leukemia is called AML and those diagnosed are not as lucky as Brandy. AML patients currently has only a 25% chance of living five years from diagnosis. Many die before they find a bone marrow donor. You could easily save a life, please register to be a donor today. Interview In part one of our interview with the Radonics, they talk about their start in sailing and cruising on their Macgregor 26M trailer sailer. The Radonics are based on Lake Ontario near Toronto Canada and they cruised extensively around Canada, New York, and Nova Scotia. They also cruised most of the Trent-Severn waterway and transited the Big Chute Marine Railway. Product of the Week Thermacell Insect Repeller We love our Thermacell, it creates a 15ft barrier that has been tested to eliminate over 90% of mosquito, no-see-um, sand fleas, and black flies. Here is our amazon affiliate link to the product We also heard from Richard, a listener in the UK, about a bluetooth receiver, called Doosl that he really likes to use on the boat. It enables any stereo with a 3.5mm plug to be a bluetooth receiver. Amazon Store Please use our Amazon Affiliate links below for anything you buy on Amazon or look at over 90 items we have in our TSR Amazon store. We use all the items on our boat and include notes of why we like them. We also added over 40 sailing and cruising books we recommend. You pay the same low Amazon price and we get a small commission.

ETF trading strategy and why I'm buying Russia.
There aren’t too many moments in our planet’s history that inspire or connote the meaning of greatness more so than the Olympic Games. With Rio 2016 – the 31st Olympiad – just days away, I sit down for tea with this super star, Nikola Girke. The Rio games will be her fourth – not a typo – Olympic Games. While this year, she and her sailing partner, Luke Ramsay, will be representing Canada on the Nacra 17, a wee but powerful catamaran, in Olympics past she has represented Canada in both the 470 sailing and RS:X windsurfing disciplines. This makes her not only an over-achiever, but an over-achiever-cubed. When she is not being a talented and disciplined and dedicated non-TV-watching Olympian, she is a huge supporter of causes including Fast and Female, the 60 Minutes Kids Club, and KidsSport, to name a few. We talk Netflix (and her limited knowledge thereof), her special friend Felix, and her life motto: Dare to dream. Dare to achieve. Dare to succeed. And she gives an insiders take on the Olympic Opening ceremonies. Gahhhh!
