The philosophical thoughts about manipulation




Kimmo Huosionmaa

This evening is a wonderful time for thinking about the reality, and the reality's influence on our lives. The life is the very strange thing and we are all victims of some kind of things, what we are calling the manipulation. Every person in the world have faced manipulation in some place, and we would not even notice some of those traps until it's too late. In the working life, the manipulation is actually more common than we even can think. And the best examples of those things are the working offers, where is mentioned, that the person must speak five or six languages and be a civil engineer. Of course, that kind things cause interesting thoughts in the person's head and the skills what the job offer consists are very unusual, and the reason for those needs is that they would make easy to deny the applicant in the interview.


People have to need to please the persons who interview the job applicants in the working life, and when they are mention, that they are looking for "good guys", they are making job seeker feel, that if they don't like this person, that job applicant is not "good guy". The need to please makes the job applicant try very hard to give the good image for those electors. But there is one thing, what goes wrong.


The persons, who make the election for jobs are also given the image of their jobs and interests, and if they seem boring, the job applicant sees that the selection has been done. The term "good guy" is meant for making the person shame if the company would show the door after the test period. And this makes think, that maybe they would tell that the person, who closes the door final time, have been the person, who failed in the process.


But was this person only the rented worker, whose application was about two weeks, and then the job ended for natural reasons. In some cases, the companies keep two lines of workers. Another is working with temporary contracts, and others have steady contracts. The temporaries would ever get the steady contracts, because there is something, what companies don't want them to know. And the thing might be, that temporaries have been introduced as the persons, who have been kicked off. This would be guaranteed, that the steadies are good guys, or they can be kicked off. And when they see, that somebody would walk out from the company, that would give good motivation for others. That would make the steadies feel, that they are the best in business.


 After that, the chosen one will get the information, that there were thousands of job applications for that place and position. The purpose of that thing is to scare this person, that if the jobs are not done, would that mean that the next applicant would take this position. So the message is "try hard, and if you fail, you are out". This is one of the best ways to make sure, that the applicant is a good and handsome guy, who gives everything for the firm.

The new 3D printers are coin-size systems.

"The tiny device could enable a user to rapidly create customized, low-cost objects on the go, like a fastener to repair a wobbly bicycle wheel or a component for a critical medical operation. Credit: Sampson Wilcox, RLE" (Scitech, Tiny Titan: MIT’s Revolutionary Coin-Sized 3D Printer Fits in Your Pocket) Researchers created a 3D printer that is coin-size. That kind of printer can create things like microchips. But it's possible. Those tiny 3D printers can also work in extremely large-size projects. In simplest models, the 3D printers are positioned on tracks. The 3D printer itself is the tool, that can be part of the modular production systems.  There are visions of high-temperature metal printers installed on the gantry cranes. That makes those crane printers that can make even ship-size things. The crane that the printer controls can move back and forth and the printer can move horizontally. This kind of thing can turn the crane into a high-temperature 3D printer, that...

Quantum computers and ultra-fast photonic microchips can danger even the most secure communication.

"Quantum computers could pose a major security risk to current communication systems in 12-15 years with their exponentially greater speed and code-breaking ability. (ScitechDaily, Today’s Most-Secure Communications Threatened by Future Quantum Computers) Quantum computers can break entire binary cryptography. And that makes all communication unsecured. That is one of the greatest threats in quantum computing. And this brings the arms race to the quantum age. The quantum computer can create codes that any binary computer can break. But the quantum computer can also break old-fashioned codes. And that makes it an ultimate weapon and sabotage tool.   Quantum computers can change the measurements of the ammunition in factories by changing the system calibration. Or it can delete databases from the opponent's computer systems. This thing can delete all SIM cards from mobile telephones. In peacetime, the hackers that operate using quantum systems can steal the names of the counter-...

Electric power innovations. Fuel cells in aircraft and solar panels over Arizona canal.

  "ZEROe teams powered on the iron pod, the future hydrogen-propulsion system designed for Airbus’ electric concept aircraft." (Intersting Engineering, Airbus's ZEROe: First engine fuel cell powers up for hydrogen flight) Electric power innovations. Fuel cells in aircraft and solar panels over Arizona canal.  Airbus Zero is a testbed for fuel cells that are used in commercial aircraft. The problem with aircraft is always noise and pollution. If the aircraft uses electric engines. That decreases noise levels and cleans the air, especially around airfields. Lightweight solar panels that can be installed on the wings and body of aircraft can give electricity to electric engines. And they can extend an aircraft's operational range.   The thing that makes this kind of system interesting is that the "flying cars" or cheap VTOL aircraft can use them as a power source. The hydrogen power cells can give energy to electric aircraft at night time. And that makes them m...
