It was free and I'm stoked to have it. But now it costs .99. I'd say it's worth .99 if a lot of others had it.

All in all iBeam is a page 6 app.

I'm reading the text of the proposed Proposition 1A -- in the past I'd contented myself with reading the pro and con arguments and their rebuttals, and maybe the Legislative Analyst's analysis, if I had the time.  Since there's just under a month to go, and the only thing that I haven't quite made my mind up on are the propositions, I figure I might as well exert my mind a little and see what's worth voting for.  Well, that's the plan, anyway, as four thin pages of Prop 1A is enough to give me a headache.

So I gave up -- for now -- and concentrated on plotting the chart of where these high-speed rail links are supposed to go instead.

The nine billion (!) dollars are only for the link from San Francisco to LA, as far as I can tell, and the way up from San Diego avoids the heavily populated centers of Orange County.  So long as it works, I suppose, but with the proposed routes and cities served as it stands on the bill, I would be hard-pressed to find much utility (e.g. the shifting of air passengers from San Diego to Los Angeles) in it, at least from where I live.

• Backup con VBScript senza utilità di terze parti

• Avvio del backup automatico

Avete mai pensato come potrebbe essere comodo effettuare un backup automatico del contenuto di cartelle specifiche su un'unità rimovibile (un hard disk esterno od una penna USB, ad esempio), non appena questa venga collegata al personal computer?

Ben lungi dal voler proporre una soluzione "definitiva", illustriamo in quest'articolo una metodologia, semplice da applicare, che non richiede l'impiego di nessuna utilità sviluppata da terze parti.

Premettiamo subito, inoltre, che lo script .vbs in grado di effettuare la copia automatizzata delle cartelle indicate può essere ampiamente migliorato. Anzi, vi invitiamo ad inviarci i vostri commenti in merito sottoponendoci proposte di modifica.

Mettendo in pratica i suggerimenti presentati nell'articolo, ogniqualvolta si connetta l'unità disco esterna al sistema in suo, uno script - eseguito in modo automatico - si farà carico di creare una copia di backup delle cartelle specificate, dei file in essi contenuti e di tutte le eventuali sottocartelle. Ogni directory oggetto del backup, verrà automaticamente memorizzata, a sua volta, all'interno di una cartella avente il nome del computer in uso.
In questo modo, collegando l'unità rimovibile al COMPUTER1, le cartelle oggetto del backup verranno salvate nella directory \COMPUTER1; connettendo la periferica al COMPUTER2, le directory indicate saranno invece salvate in \COMPUTER 2 e così via.

Per verificare il nome assegnato al computer che si sta utilizzando, è sufficiente fare clic con il tasto destro del mouse sull'icona Risorse del computer quindi sulla scheda Nome computer.

Nei nostri test abbiamo usato un comunissimo "hard drive case" USB 2।0 (Sitecom MD-206) installandovi, al suo interno, un disco fisso SATA।

Dopo aver collegato il disco fisso al personal computer attraverso il cavo USB in dotazione con l'"hard drive case", abbiamo creato, nella directory radice dell'unità, il seguente file VBScript (backup.vbs):

Dim computername

Dim ParentFolder

Dim objShell

Dim objFolder

Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")

computername = WshNetwork.ComputerName

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Const FOF_CREATEPROGRESSDLG = &H0&

Const FOF_NOCONFIRMATION = 16

Const FOF_NOCONFIRMDIRCREATE = 512

ParentFolder = WshShell.CurrentDirectory

creadirectory ParentFolder

if right(ParentFolder,1)"\" then ParentFolder=ParentFolder&"\"

         
select case computername

           ' modificare inserendo altri computer e le varie cartelle

           ' oggetto del backup:

           ' -------------------------------------------------------

           case "MIOCOMPUTER"

                      copiafile "d:\documenti", ParentFolder&computername

                      copiafile "c:\lavori", ParentFolder&computername

                      copiafile "c:\foto\rossi", ParentFolder&computername

                      copiafile "C:\prova\test", ParentFolder&computername

           ' -------------------------------------------------------

           ' fine modifiche

end select

function creadirectory (nomedirectory)

           Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")

           Set objFolder = objShell.NameSpace(nomedirectory)

           objFolder.NewFolder computername

end function

function copiafile (sorgente, destinazione)

           Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")

           Set objFolder = objShell.NameSpace(destinazione)

           objFolder.CopyHere sorgente, FOF_CREATEPROGRESSDLG + FOF_NOCONFIRMATION

+ FOF_NOCONFIRMDIRCREATE

end function

WScript.Quit

Analizziamo rapidamente il funzionamento dello script. L'istruzione alla riga 6 (computername = WshNetwork.ComputerName), si occupa di recuperare il nome del computer in uso mentre l'istruzione alla riga 14, la lettera identificativa dell'unità rimovibile.

Successivamente (riga 16) viene invocata una funzione (function creadirectory (nomedirectory)) che si occupa di creare, nella directory radice dell'unità rimovibile, una cartella alla quale viene assegnato il nome del computer (riga 34) precedentemente rilevato.

Alla riga 17 viene controllato che la lettera identificativa dell'unità rimovibile contenga un "backslash" (barra rovesciata) finale; in caso contario, viene aggiunto.

Il select case alla riga 19, permette di definire un comportamento diverso per ciascun computer al quale l'unità esterna viene collegata.
Nell'esempio (riga 22), lo script VBS - nel caso in cui venga eseguito su un sistema denominato MIOCOMPUTER - provvede a creare una copia delle cartelle di seguito indicate (righe 23-26) utilizzando la funzione copiafile.
Tale funzione, com'è possibile verificare, riceve in ingresso la cartella contenente i file oggetto del backup e la cartella di destinazione.
L'operazione di copia dei file e delle cartelle avviene (riga 40) usando le preferenze definite mediante l'impiego delle costanti FOF_CREATEPROGRESSDLG, FOF_NOCONFIRMATION e FOF_NOCONFIRMDIRCREATE (righe 10-12).
Se non si desidera che venga mostrata una finestra di dialogo durante la copia, FOF_CREATEPROGRESSDLG va impostato a &H4&; viceversa, il valore della costante deve essere posto a &H0& (riga 10).

Le altre due costanti, invece, permettono, rispettivamente, di non richiedere alcuna conferma in caso di sovrascruttura di file e cartelle né all'atto della creazione di nuove directory.

Le righe 22-26 sono ovviamente liberamente personalizzabili. E' sufficiente sostituire le cartelle inserite a titolo esemplificativo nel file con quelle oggetto di backup avendo cura di modificare (riga 22) anche il nome del computer.
Aggiungendo una nuova istruzione case "NOMECOMPUTER" dopo la riga 26, quindi specificando, nelle righe seguenti, le directory d'interesse (esempio: copiafile "X:\CARTELLA_ORIGINE", ParentFolder&computername), è possibile fare in modo che lo script VBS si comporti in modo adeguato ogniqualvolta venga connessio al computer A, B o C.

ONLY A SMALL RANDOM SUBSET OF THE POPULATION GETS A VOTE.

For each election, only a random subset of citizens, notified far in advance, can vote. Nothing else is changed.

Why would this help? First, we need to discuss the problem with voting in large democracies.

THE ECONOMIST'S CRITICISM OF LARGE DEMOCRACIES

Why should I spend the effort to become informed before voting? My vote has an extraordinarily low probability of changing the winner of a national election. Suppose that one candidate is much better for the country. Numerically, imagine that candidate A would be $100,000 “better” per citizen. The probability that my vote changes the election is very small. By this estimate, voters in New Mexico in 2004 had approximately a 1 in 10,000,000 chance of their vote determining the election. All other states had much smaller probabilities.

Thus, if I make a large investment of time to carefully evaluate the candidate's positions, decide who is better for the country, and then vote, I will receive an expected return of $0.01!

Of course the issue with the above is that I am only comparing the costs and benefits to me. If one candidate is really $100,000 better per citizen, the total expected benefit to informing myself should be multiplied by the number of citizens (~300 million). In this case the total expected benefit to figuring out which candidate is better and then voting should be $3 million! (This number is surprisingly high because New Mexicans had the highest chance of influencing the election in 2004.) The problem is that almost none of that $3 million goes the person who put in the work. In economist lingo, educating oneself before voting has large “positive externalities”.

I think the central problem with large democracies is that voters are uninformed. Not because they are stupid or uneducated (1)-- because they are rational.

(1) I strongly reject the idea that people are stupid.

THE COMMON-SENSE REBUTTAL OF THE ECONOMIST'S CRITICISM

The above assumes, of course, that people are strictly selfish beings only seeking to maximize their own utility. Most standard economics is built on this assumption, but in this case, it doesn't look so good. The rebuttal is:

If the above was true, wouldn't society descend into anarchy?

I find this rebuttal pretty compelling. Democracy does work fairly well, much better than the above argument would suggest. There are two explanations for this:

1. Entertainment
2. Altruism

First, people may choose to learn about candidates simply because they find it fun. Secondly, people simply choose to learn about candidates because they feel a sense of responsibility. They do care about how their vote affects other people, and act accordingly. That is altruism.

Still, I think we can't dismiss the economist. Why? Ask yourself this:

Suppose you had the only vote. You get the choice, yourself, who should be the next US president. Would you learn more about the candidates than you have bothered to learn now?

I think any honest person would answer, “yes-- a great deal more.”

THE ARGUMENT FOR A RANDOM SUBSET

The argument for leaving the decision up to a small number of people is clear. Those people will have a greater stake in the election, so they will take their choices more seriously. Would this really happen? I think so.

IOWA and NEW HAMPSHIRE

If you are not familiar, the US political parties choose their nominees through a staggered process. Different states do not vote simultaneously. Iowa and New Hampshire vote first, and thus wield huge influence on which candidate is chosen. As a result, the people in those states have developed a culture that takes the primaries very seriously.  It is fair to say that the average Iowa primary voter is better informed than the average voter in a state that votes on Super Tuesday.

INFLUENCE OF MONEY

Of course, is that it is totally unfair that people in two states have so large a choice in who is president! The obvious solution to this would be to move to a simultaneous, national primary. Ignoring the fact that we will take New Hampshire's primary from their cold, dead hands, would we want this?

Candidates with little money can compete and win in Iowa and New Hampshire through “retail politics”, launching them to a national campaign. With a national primary, it would be even more difficult for a poorly funded candidate to win.

10,000 people

Now, imagine that votes were given to a random subset of the population, say 10,000 people. What would happen?

• The candidates would personally meet each voter. Those voters would demand and get meetings with the candidates in small groups. The candidates would be forced to actually answer the question asked of them. In a year, to meet each voter, the candidate would need to talk to only 27.39 voters per day.
• Each voter would both have a personal interest in the election feel a strong sense of personal responsibility for the outcome. With only 10,000 voters, every vote counts. If you have a real chance of changing the winner, you have a real interest in making your choice correctly.
• The influence of money would be reduced. Initially, I thought it might be reduced almost to zero, but upon reflection this probably wouldn't happen. The reason is that the voters would be subject to intense lobbying from their friends and neighbors. Thus, candidates might still choose to run TV ads in the hopes of indirect influence on voters.
• Unfair negative attacks would lose impact, while fair negative attacks would gain impact. Think of how negative attacks work now: Suppose lying candidate A runs an 30 second TV ad falsely accusing honest candidate B of shooting penguins for fun. B then runs a 30 second ad pointing out that this is nonsense. I, the disengaged voter, am left with a cloudy doubt about the truth-- perhaps B likes to kill penguins, perhaps not. I am also left more cynical about politics, leading to my further disengagement. Under my proposal, imagine that A makes the same attack. I then meet with B, who personally explains their deep love for the penguin species. B's staff sends me information on all the pro-penguin legislation B has supported. I am now left only with a distaste for A's dishonesty.

CONCLUSION

The biggest problems with this suggestion are:

1. It is undemocratic.

2. It will never happen.

“Disenfranchise 99.9% of the population-- are you insane?” Well, maybe. However, I believe that the trouble with democracy is that people already feel and are disenfranchised. You are a fool to spend hours and days educating yourself, when your vote will just be a drop in a sea of uninformed votes.

10,000 highly enfranchised voters would do a better job than 200,000,000 distracted.

Most discussion of voting systems focuses on game theoretic issues. Assuming the whole population knows the candidate they want, and voters vote strategically, how can the system be structured to pick the candidate with the highest appeal? There are mathematical results that there is no voting system exists that satisfy some intuitive criteria, in the case of more than two candidates.

I doubt the importance of this. That model ignores the large cost to a voter of choosing to inform themselves about the candidates. I think instead, voting systems should be designed to give voters an incentive to pay that cost.

Postscript: The ancient Greeks apparently often filled offices through the Sortition method-- randomly assign the office to a citizen. My proposal here could be seen as these two steps:

1. Expanding the electoral college to 10,000 members.

2. Choosing those member by Sortition.

How it works

1. Move the mouse pointer to the Instant Eyedropper icon in the system tray.

   

2. Press and hold the left mouse button and move the mouse pointer to the pixel whose color you want to identify.

   

3. Release the mouse button.

That's it. The clipboard now contains the color code - in HTML format (or any other format that you have previously specified). It can be pasted and used in any text or HTML editor or the Color Picker tool of Photoshop.
