Fukushima Diary
http://fukushima-diary.com

La vertu la plus haïe

J’étais fatigué d’étudier et j’étais allongé sur mon lit.
J’avais 15 ans.

Quelqu’un a frappé à la porte. C’était ma grand-mère.
Elle avait eu un cancer du pancréas 9 mois plus tôt et elle est morte 3 mois plus tard.

Elle est devenue aussi maigre que Steve Jobs durant ses dernières années.
mais ma grand-mère m’a montré son ventre et ses jambes.
Ils étaient un peu gonflés.

Elle disait “Je commence à être grosse, c’est le signe que ça va mieux”.

J’ai essayé de sourire et j’ai dit “Ça fait plaisir à entendre, continue, tu va bientôt être 100% bien”.
Je sentais en fait que c’était le signe de quelque chose de terrible même si je n’avais aucune connaissance médicale.

De façon surprenante, même le médecin disait que c’était un bon signe pour elle, pour sa guérison
jusqu’à ce que ces endroits commencent à ressembler à des ballons au point qu’elle ne pouvait même plus aller frapper à la porte.
En fait c’était parce que ses cellules cancéreuses restaient coincées dans ses ganglions.

Pourquoi ai-je essayé de sourire et de lui dire quelque chose de gentil ?
Que ce serait-il passé si j’avais été honnête ?
J’y pense depuis au moins 15 ans.

Une personne honnête est moins appréciée qu’une personne charmeuse.
C’est pourquoi c’est un trait de caractère qui est nécessaire aux leaders.

Être honnête, c’est partager la douleur d’une autre personne.
A présent, je ne vois personne d’assez honnête pour diriger mon pays.

Après le 11 mars 2011, la naissance du citoyen journaliste

De retour chez lui, Iori Mochizuki apprend qu’un tsunami a ravagé la côte Pacifique du Tōhoku, provoquant de sérieux dommages à la Centrale nucléaire de Fukushima Daiichi. En fin de journée, le premier ministre Naoto Kan déclare l’état d’urgence nucléaire. Alors que le gouvernement japonais se veut rassurant, Iori Mochizuki cherche à s’informer sur la situation. Après que plusieurs explosions se soient produites à la centrale, il commence à se méfier des informations officielles et démarre une véritable veille informatique. Au cours de ses recherches, il se persuade que les médias traditionnels ne couvrent pas correctement la situation. Il prend aussi conscience de l’importance du lobby nucléaire au Japon et à travers le monde. Pour Iori Mochizuki, l’Agence internationale de l’énergie atomique et la plupart des gouvernements pro-nucléaires ont mis en place une véritable œuvre de désinformation pour cacher les effets de la radioactivité sur la santé.

Surprise Hit Was a Shock for Artists Heard on It (Harlem Shake dispute)

Hector Delgado gave up being a reggaetón artist five years ago to become an evangelical preacher in Puerto Rico. So it was something of a surprise when his former manager, Javier Gómez, called him three weeks ago and said his voice could be clearly heard on “Harlem Shake,” a song that had gone viral on the Internet and then climbed to the top of the pop chart.

He wasn’t alone. Jayson Musson, a rapper from Philadelphia, received an excited call from another member of the former rap collective Plastic Little, who told him that his voice could be heard on the hit song as well, yelling out the key phrase “Do the Harlem Shake!”(...)

Both Mr. Musson and Mr. Delgado are seeking compensation from Mad Decent Records, which put out the single last year.

Confessions of a Crummy Manager

By Ray Fisman

After this Saturday essay on what leaders do appeared in The Journal, I’ve had a number of friends and colleagues ask me about whether – and how – my experience writing about organizations and leadership has affected the way I think about my own role within an organization – in my case, Columbia Business School.

I am living proof of the “Peter Principle,” you know, the one that states, “Each employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence.” Put into a managerial context, there’s no evidence that employees who are good at selling, engineering, or academic writing will be any good at management. Yet this is often the basis for workplace promotion.

Epic Records drops Death Grips after they leak their own record

In news that should come as a shock to absolutely no one even a little familiar with the record business or business in general, after leaking their own record online, Death Grips have been dropped from Epic Records. No Love Deep Web hit the net last month after the group was told by Epic that the record wouldn’t see the light of day until 2013. “The label will be hearing the album for the first time with you,” explained the band.

http://stereogum.com/1190011/death-grips-dropped-by-epic/franchises/wheres-the-beef

Epic Records is a music first company that breaks new artists. That is our mission and our mandate. Unfortunately, when marketing and publicity stunts trump the actual music, we must remind ourselves of our core values. To that end, effective immediately, we are working to dissolve our relationship with Death Grips. We wish them well.

You know the story by now, but in case you don’t: On Monday, 10/1, Death Grips gave away their highly anticipated new album, NO LOVE DEEP WEB, ostensibly against the wishes of their label Epic Records. Call it a victory for Internet-freedom cheerleaders.

Fukushima workers were ordered to shield their dosimeter with lead covers to make the integral dose look lower than actual.

#UK la riposte des serfs

The fightback is gathering pace though and the jubilee shenanigans have underlined the point. While the campaign against workfare continues to go from strength to strength, the government’s workfare policy continues to flounder. A recent conference – ’How do we break workfare?’ was organised by Brighton Benefits Campaign. Ideas and information were shared and ways forward planned, including a week of action from 7-14 July, a counter conference during the Welfare to Work convention (10-11 July), and a national boycott of Holland & Barrett – enthusiastic participants in the workfare schemes.

According to them “The message is clear. Those of us who oppose workfare in all its forms are winning. There has never been a better time for you, your workplace and your union branch to get involved and say no to workfare. After all, we know where we are going. Come with us. We are going to win. Boycott Exploitation. Boycott Workfare.”

Michael K. Williams (Omar Little from The Wire) will play Ol’ Dirty Bastard, but not in a traditional biopic on the late rapper’s life (one has long been rumored to be coming); rather seemingly as a character in someone else’s story.

Manar TV : Hiding the Unveiled
http://english.al-akhbar.com/content/manar-tv-hiding-unveiled

Restrictions have been imposed at Hezbollah’s Manar television to avoid the appearance of unveiled women on the station’s programs. Is the resistance channel backtracking on years of openness and now moving in a more conservative direction?

Pas inintéressant du tout.

Note après coup (et sur remarques de mon entourage) : l’article passe cependant à côté de l’idée que le voile au Liban est, très largement, une mode importée. Influence de la mode séoudienne chez les sunnites, et influence de la révolution iranienne chez les chiites. De fait, parler du voile sur Al-Manar sans évoquer l’influence iranienne, c’est rater une partie importante du sujet.

A geek with a hat » Why programmers work at night
http://swizec.com/blog/why-programmers-work-at-night/swizec/3198

And sure enough, ask a random programmer when they do their best work and there’s a high chance they will admit to a lot of late nights. Some earlier, some later. A popular trend is to get up at 4am and get some work done before the day’s craziness begins. Others like going to bed at 4am.

At the gist of all this is avoiding distractions. But you could just lock the door, what’s so special about the night?

I think it boils down to three things: the maker’s schedule, the sleepy brain and bright computer screens.

Library of Congress to receive entire #Twitter archive - FederalNewsRadio.com
http://www.federalnewsradio.com/?nid=239&sid=2658996

The Library of Congress and Twitter have signed an agreement that will see an archive of every public Tweet ever sent handed over to the library’s repository of historical documents.

“We have an agreement with Twitter where they have a bunch of servers with their historic archive of tweets, everything that was sent out and declared to be public,” said Bill Lefurgy, the digital initiatives program manager at the library’s national digital information infrastructure and preservation program. The archives don’t contain tweets that users have protected, but everything else — billions and billions of tweets — are there.

KDE and Qt programs look bad when in a different window manager

KDE and Qt programs look bad when in a different window manager

If you’re using KDE or #Qt programs but not in a full #KDE session (specifically, you didn’t run “startkde”), then as of KDE 4.6.1 you will need to tell Qt how to find KDE’s styles (Oxygen, QtCurve etc.)

You just need to set the environment variable QT_PLUGIN_PATH. E.g. put

export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=$HOME/.kde4/lib/kde4/plugins/:/usr/lib/kde4/plugins/

into your /etc/profile (or ~/.profile if you don’t have root access). qtconfig should then be able to find your kde styles and everything should look nice again!
