Albert’s class was on the history teacher Mr. Braun asked Albert if the Prussians defeated the French to Waterloo. Albert told him that he didn’t know and he must have forgotten. This irritated the teacher. He asked Albert, why? Albert replied that he didn’t see a point in learning dates. One could learn about them from books. Ideas are more important than facts and figures. The teacher attributed to Albert that he didn’t believe in education. He talked in a sarcastic manner. Albert told him that education should be about ideas and not facts. The teacher said that Albert was a disgrace to be there Albert felt miserable when he left the school that afternoon.
He didn’t like this school. He would have to come to it again. He lived in a small room. It was one of the poorest quarters of Munich. The landlady beat her children regularly. Her husband came every Saturday and drank in the evening. He then beat her. He didn’t like the children’s crying every time. He told these things to Yuri. He hated the atmosphere of slum violence. Next time his cousin [elsa] came to Munich. She told Albert that if he tried he could pass the examination. There were more stupid boys than him. Moreover, passing the examination was not difficult. It was simply just to be able to repeat in the examination that Elsa that he was not good at learning things by heart. He liked music as it gave him comfort. Albert didn’t like to remain in school. He met Yuri after six months. He had an idea. He told Yuri that if he had a medical certificate that he suffered from a nervous breakdown, he could get rid of school. He asked Yuri if he had a doctor friend. Yuri told him that he had in Dr. Ernest Weil. However, Yuri told him not to deceive him. He must be frank with him. When Albert visited Dr. Ernest Weil he had really come near a nervous breakdown. Dr. Ernest issued him the certificate. His fees were that he should serve Yuri with a meal. Albert told Dr. Ernest about his future plans.
He would go to Milan. He hoped to get admission into an Italian college or institute. It was possible from the comments of the Mathematics teacher, Mr. Koch. Yuri told him to get a reference in writing from the Mathematics teacher before going to the head teacher. Mr. Koch, the mathematics teacher encouraged him.

Every government is a machine, and every machine has its tinkerers — and its jams.
From the start, machines have driven American democracy and, just as often, crippled
it. The printing press, the telegraph, the radio, the television, the mainframe, cable TV,
the internet: Each had wild-eyed boosters who promised that a machine could hold the
republic together, or make it more efficient, or repair the damage caused by the last
machine. Each time, this assertion would be both right and terribly wrong. But lately,
it’s mainly wrong, chiefly because the rules that prevail on the internet were devised by
people who fundamentally don’t believe in government.
The Constitution itself was understood by its framers as a machine, a precisely
constructed instrument whose measures — its separation of powers, its checks and
balances — were mechanical devices, as intricate as the gears of a clock, designed to
thwart tyrants, mobs and demagogues, and to prevent the forming of factions. Once
those factions began to appear, it became clear that other machines would be needed to
establish stable parties. “The engine is the press,” Thomas Jefferson, an inveterate
inventor, wrote in 1799.
The United States was founded as a political experiment; it seemed natural that it
should advance and grow through technological experiment. Different technologies have
offered different fixes. Equality was the promise of the penny press, newspapers so
cheap that anyone could afford them. The New York Sun was first published in 1833. “It
shines for all” was its common-man motto. Union was the promise of the telegraph.
“The greatest revolution of modern times, and indeed of all time, for the amelioration of
society, has been effected by the magnetic telegraph,” The Sun announced, proclaiming
“the annihilation of space.”

Time was being annihilated too. As The New York Herald pointed out, the telegraph
appeared to make it possible for “the whole nation” to have “the same idea at the same
moment.” Frederick Douglass was convinced that the great machines of the age were
ushering in an era of worldwide political revolution. “Thanks to steam navigation and
electric wires,” he wrote, “a revolution cannot be confined to the place or the people
where it may commence but flashes with lightning speed from heart to heart.” Henry
David Thoreau raised an eyebrow: “We are in great haste to construct a magnetic
telegraph from Maine to Texas; but Maine and Texas, it may be, have nothing important
to communicate.”

Building a Raspberry Pi Robot with Dot NET 8, Blazor and SignalR - Slides Onl...Peter Gallagher
In this session delivered at Leeds IoT, I talk about how you can control a 3D printed Robot Arm with a Raspberry Pi, .NET 8, Blazor and SignalR.
I also show how you can use a Unity app on an Meta Quest 3 to control the arm VR too.

3. MOST KNOWN FOR
• John von Neumann was a
pioneer of the application of
operator theory to quantum
mechanics. He made great
contribution to the world. He is
today most known for being
the creator of the very first
digital computer. He made
other smaller contributions
too, for example: Cellular
automata, Game theory and
Software whitening.
4. UNKNOWN FACTS
• He studied in Berlin, Zurich and Hamburg and joined the
Princeton Institute for Advanced Study in 1930.
• In 1955 he was named a Commissioner of the Atomic
Energy Commission, a position he held till his death.
• He set the basics of computer architecture while
consulting for the Moore School of Electrical Engineering
at the University of Pennsylvania regarding the EDVAC
project.
• John Von Neumann died under military security since
there was a possibility that he may reveal military secrets
while begin heavily medication. He was diagnosed with
bone or pancreatic cancer.
