Unbelievable. Look, an “app” ain’t an “application.” It’s nothing more than a client computer’s link to a server. The actual “application” is on the server. Thus, either the problem is with the database on the server, or the client link that was built.

My guess is that the problem is with the database query. Most likely, they got a Cartesian join. It results in a catastrophic forked replication that causes the machine to duplicate every calculation, i.e., 2 -> 4 -> 16 -> . . . loops.

I once tried to compile a tally that should have taken 15 minutes. Three days later, the damn thing was still trying to calculate.

Let me be clear: You cannot develop an application utilizing a production server. Three servers are utilized to design a bullet proof application:
1. A development server
2. A test server
3. A production server

When a project manager attempts to omit # 1 and/or #2 (as it actually is 3 times more expensive in hardware), you’ve created a disaster and high probability of a catastrophic failure in the deployed application.

The reason is simple: All computer tools comprise three elements: hardware, operating system software and application software. Furthermore, the hardware comprises assembled sub-assemblies that contain firmware. Firmware isn’t anything except hardware components with pre-programmed operational function.

That’s literally all you need to know about how computer things work. So, when you’re developing an application, anything can go wrong. In the three tier deployment of an application it’s likely, when there’s a glitch, you can verify where the problem isn’t. That’s why there’s a development server and a test server.

The thought process is: 1. I have a problem. 2. I fixed the problem. 3. Did it effect anything else, creating a different problem (i.e., ‘did I accidentally hit the incorrect key on the keyboard making a typographical error’).

But, after you develop the application or fix a glitch, you’ve got to test it … real time, just like it’s hot in the real world environment. And, it must be exactly the same as the production server.

When you do that, you can usually catch most glitches. But, God help you if you skip testing and use the production server for a test. You won’t do that because the production server must be stable as a rock and 99.9999% reliable. Also, it has to be the exact duplicate of the test server. And, Microsoft always updates shit, whether you want it or not in most instances. Shit just stops working.

My guess is the back end was Microsoft (the production server) and the development or test server (if they used one or two — which I doubt). Given the security needed for the client application, SSL and whatever else is utilized to authenticate the client, you’ve got a world of possibilities that is simply FUBAR if and when you take a short-cut. There’s a single point of failure.

$60,000 to develop that sort of application is way too little and short-term skimping on resources (low-balling a bid), results in disappointments, big time.

I AM NOT A GENIUS

I’m too damn pragmatic. It’s really simple: I was saying, ‘They can simply go to court on a OSC to get the documents. The court would have to rule on the issue of the so-called “executive discretion.”‘ And, make a determination on what part of the evidence would be “privileged” and what part the Congress is entitled, by law, to see. Expedited review of any ruling …

The political reality: Nothing matters, anyway.

I understand … delaying tactics, etc. But, So What? It’s about the rule of law.

Conclusion: Play more music to learn, don’t learn to play. Practice to get better and get yourself out of the way and play.

The defense of the president is to assert:
– The opposition wants to nullify the election; and
– The opposition wants to disqualify the candidate from seeking the office on purely political grounds

Fact: The election has occurred and cannot be nullified – office occupied!
Fact: The alleged acts of the president created the situation (not his omissions)
Fact: Something occurred – he failed to carryout his commission to which he was entrusted by those in authority to grant the privilege, in a timely manner, in the opinion of some of those in Congress granting authority.
Fact: The Constitution grants Congress the authority to sanction the president, specifying disqualification for future privileges of the office for failure to act within the scope of authority and powers granted.

The Question:

WHAT IS WRONG WITH WHAT THE CONSTITUTION DEFINES THE PROCESS AND SANCTIONS TO BE?

Answer:

NOTHING!

As for the defense, rather than demolishing the case for Impeachment, it categorically confirms sanctions prescribed by the allegations of malfeasance and self-serving, pursuant to the terms of the Constitution itself.

The error of the defense is that, conceptually, the defense substitutes “democrats” for the for Constitution, in its personification of the document.

The bet is that most people will “buy” the bridge, and swallow the bait, hook, line and sinker.

My last thoughts on the subject: What does Biden have to do with the appropriation made by the Congress? If he deceived Congress, actions should go against him. If his son broke a law, the prosecution should be against him by the appropriate authorities.

If the president knew his acts were going to be hyper-criticized, a prudent professional would have, and should have, avoided even the appearance of impropriety. Nothing less than full disclosure, before taking action, is required when there is the possible appearance of a conflict of interest. Period. And, that is why the defenses are vacuous (at least at this moment in time). That is especially true with regard to dealing with money to which one is entrusted to disburse.

Upon the presidential petard of truth fails the defense of “Executive Privilege.” Executive Privilege is not the same, in equivalency or relevancy, to the word “discretion” of a person working as an executive.

‘If you don’t know, now you do.’

Moving on: The Republicans, if they are in fact “republicans” may check things out (see evidence), find no cause for removal from office based on lack of conclusive evidence, if found inconclusively and they should sanction the president with censure. He failed to avoid even the appearance of a personal conflict of interest.

IMO: If he doesn’t even agree to that, he’s not the sort of person who should be entrusted with leadership.

He is a Kill-her! HuMan-slayer.

It is so plain to see: He knows how to say, “You’re fired.” And, as the CEO, he knows how to say, “I want her resignation.” But, he speaks as the mobster he is. And, that’s why THEY support him.

Lie is their truth.
Rationale is their hypocracy.
Hate is their love.
Lust is their God.
Crime is their frame.
Deceit the game.
Destroy is their fame.

Evil the name.

Yep. the U.S.A. has been hacked. Plain and simple. Mr. T-Rump primarily has been done in and has been and is “misdemeaningly” mindlessly involved in the attempt to hack the Constitution of the U.S.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: The Plegde of Allegiance must be rewritten, as follows:

I pledge allegiance to the Constitution of the United States of American, and to the Republic for which it exists, with liberty and justice for all.

What else is necessary?

On November 16, 1944 , I was birthed approximately 9 + months after copulation and, thereby conception, between Louise Stallworth Channel and Charlie Estus Ezell Channel, Sr — descendants of slaves on this planet.

Thank you both and eternal gratitude is all I leave to my parents, who made my existence possible. Hopefully, I have made and left those vibes that glorify the beauty of love, truth, honesty and character they inspired. It is to them the tributes belong.

Vibes on in peace …

You must know where you are
To know who you are

‘ ”A house divided against itself cannot stand.” I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave to ignorance and stupidity, and falsity and half free from bigotry, and . I do not expect the US to be dissolved—I do not expect the house to fall—but I do expect it will cease to be divided.’

It’s undeniable that intuition plays a big role in decision making. Subconscious mental processes that bubble up in the mind as emotion creates awareness of a feeling. That feeling plays a part in decision making. How important is it? “It” depends upon the action to be taken. “It” depends upon the awareness of context in which the “It” is surrounded (including the “It” of the “Id”). The problem is results (or facts) are often counter-intuitive. Example: not looking both ways before you cross the street! The problem with going with the gut is reality is often COUNTER INTUITIVE. Example: The car came from the direct you did not see. Clearly, the correct path was counter-intuitive. Life, money and more time wasted could have been saved by taking a moment to look both ways, before crossing a street.

Khashoggi: It’s not even a question of who ordered him murdered, granted the permission to utilize resources and assets, or even what happened to body parts (because they flew out of Turkey and over open waters) on the return trip. Do you think any ordinary Saudi could cook up the scheme?

The real question, in my mind, is “Why?” More specifically, “What did Khashoggi know that was such a threat to the House of Saud, that the Crown Prince and his ilk resorted to such subterfuge in assassination?”

Last night, a Negro came to me in a dream:

Uncle Tom, I may be. Uncle Tom, you call me, despite kneeling on knee. But, you know the White man did and always will sell his mama for a dollar. I guess his hope is in the saying, ‘now more of my friends won’t see squalor.’ White man saying one should die for the greater good, particularly in my greater neighborhood.  The place where love, morality and truth once stood.

Not to worry, there’s no debate: It is what it is, that was his fate!
