Türkçeyle felsefe yapılamaz ama karadelik üzerine çene çalınabilir - E. Özkök
WIRED dergisinin son sayısının kapağı ünlü bilimci Stephen Hawking'e ayrılmış. Dergiden onun hakkında çok şey öğrendim.
BUZ KOVASI KAMPANYASINA KATILAMAMASININ NEDENİ
-21 yaşından beri ALS hastalığından mustaripmiş.
-ALS farkındalığı için yapılan başından buz dökme kampanyasına katılamamış.
-Bunun nedeni geçen yıl geçirdiği zatürreeymiş. Çocukları, üşütür diye izin vermemiş.
-En kritik yılı 1985'miş. İsviçre'de CERN laboratuvarını ziyarete giderken zatürree olmuş. Durumu çok kritikmiş ve suni solunum sistemine bağlanmış.
-Kordonu çekelim mi: Doktorlar eski eşine, "Umut yok, fişi çekelim mi" diye sormuşlar. Eşi reddetmiş.
HAYATI KURTULUYOR AMA SESİNİ KAYBEDİYOR
-Nefes borusuna tüp: Buradan Cambridge'de bir hastaneye nakledilmiş. Orada doktorlar ensesinden bir delik açarak nefes borusuna bir tüp takmışlar.
-Konuşma gidiyor: Ancak hayatının kurtulmasına karşılık, konuşmasını tamamen kaybetmiş.
-Yazmayı öğreniyor: Kaliforniyalı Words Plus şirketi onun için özel bir ekolayzır programı geliştirmiş. Bu program Apple II bilgisayara bağlanmış.
-Başparmağını oynatarak dakikada 15 kelimeye kadar iletişim kurabiliyormuş.
-Başparmak siniri 2008 yılında başparmağı zayıflamaya başlayınca bu defa başka bir sisteme geçilmiş.
BAŞPARMAĞI ZAYIFLAYINCA ÇENE KASI İLE YAZMAYA BAŞLIYOR
-Çene kası: Yeni sistemle sağ çenesinin kaslarını hareket ettirerek yazıyormuş. Sağ çenesi gözlüğüne bağlı enfrarujlu bir sensörle bilgisayara bağlıymış.
-Şöyle çalışıyor: Cursor, klavye üzerinde otomatik olarak hareket ediyor ve istediği harf üzerine gelince, onu çene kası hareketiyle durdurabiliyor.
-Bu sistemle, e-mail gönderebiliyormuş, internette dolaşabiliyor, ayrıca bir sentetizör aracılığıyla konuşabiliyormuş. Hatta Skype yoluyla ilişki bile kurabiliyormuş.
-Dakikada 3 kelime: Çene kası da zayıflamaya başlamış. Bugün artık dakikada ancak iki-üç kelime yazabilir hale gelmiş.
BİR KONFERANS İÇİN 6 GÜN KARA YOLCULUĞU YAPIYOR
-Ancak bütün bunlar azminden bir şey götürmemiş. Yazmaya ve konferanslar vermeye devam ediyor.
-6 gün yolculuk: Doktorları uçağa binmesine izin vermiyor. O nedenle Tenerife'te verdiği son konferansa gitmek için 6 gün kara yolculuğu yapmış.
-Konferanslarının metinlerini bazen son dakikada değiştirebiliyormuş.
MÜKEMMEL PAUL NASIL KONUŞUYOR
-Nasıl konuşuyor: Konferanslarını bir "konuşma sentetizörü" aracılığıyla yapıyor. Bu, 1980'li yıllarda Speech Plus isimli bir şirket tarafından bulunmuş. Yazılı mesajı sese çeviriyor.
-Sesi nasıl üretildi: Sesi de o yıllarda Dennis Klatt adlı bir MIT mühendisi tarafından üretilmiş.
-Üç ayrı ses: Klatt, eski eşinin ve kızının seslerini kaydederek dişi ses yaratmış. Kendi sesinden ise erkek sesi bulmuş.
-Mükemmel Paul: Eşinin sesine "Güzel Betty", kızınınkine "Kit the kit", kendi sesinden ürettiğine ise "Mükemmel Paul" adını vermiş. Mükemmel Paul, bugün konferanslarında onun ağzından çıkan ses.
-İntel devrede: Ancak her yıl gerileyen yeteneklerini tamamlamak için çalışmalar devam ediyor. İntel şirketi 1997'den beri onun bilgisini dünyaya aktarmak ve duyurmak için en mükemmel software'i yaratmaya çalışıyor. Son olarak, onun 10 saatlik davranışları görüntüye alındı ve üzerinde çalışılıyor.
-James Bond: Hangi rolü oynamak istediği sorulunca şu cevabı veriyor: "Tekerlekli sandalyem ve makineden gelen suni sesimle bir James Bond filmine çok iyi giderdim..."
Başbakan Erdoğan, "Türkçeyle felsefe yapılmaz" diyor ama Hawking, çene kaslarıyla karadeliklerin sırrını çözmeye devam ediyor.
Bu yazının siyasi bir mesajı yok.
Ama isterseniz, bunu insan zekâsıyla alay edenlere, Türkçeyi küçümseyenlere bir cevap olarak da okuyabilirsiniz.
Ertuğrul Özkök - Hürriyet (27 Aralık 2014)
25th hour mirror scene: "eah, fuck you, too. Fuck me? Fuck you, fuck you and this whole city and everyone in it."
Yeah, fuck you, too. Fuck me? Fuck you, fuck you and this whole city and everyone in it. Fuck the panhandlers, grubbing for money, and smiling at me behind my back. Fuck the squeegee men dirtying up the clean windshield of my car - get a fucking job! Fuck the Sikhs and the Pakistanis bombing down the avenues in decrepit cabs, curry steaming out their pores stinking up my day. Terrorists in fucking training. SLOW THE FUCK DOWN! Fuck the Chelsea boys with their waxed chests and pumped-up biceps. Going down on each other in my parks and on my piers, jingling their dicks on my Channel 35. Fuck the Korean grocers with their pyramids of overpriced fruit and their tulips and roses wrapped in plastic. Ten years in the country, still no speaky English? Fuck the Russians in Brighton Beach. Mobster thugs sitting in cafés, sipping tea in little glasses, sugar cubes between their teeth. Wheelin' and dealin' and schemin'. Go back where you fucking came from! Fuck the black-hatted Chassidim, strolling up and down 47th street in their dirty gabardine with their dandruff. Selling South African apartheid diamonds! Fuck the Wall Street brokers. Self-styled masters of the universe. Michael Douglas, Gordon Gekko wannabe mother fuckers, figuring out new ways to rob hard working people blind. Send those Enron assholes to jail for FUCKING LIFE! You think Bush and Cheney didn't know about that shit? Give me a fucking break! Tyco! Worldcom! Fuck the Puerto Ricans. Twenty to a car, swelling up the welfare rolls, worst fuckin' parade in the city. And don't even get me started on the Dom-in-i-cans, 'cause they make the Puerto Ricans look good. Fuck the Bensonhurst Italians with their pomaded hair, their nylon warm-up suits, their St. Anthony medallions, swinging their Jason Giambi Louisville Slugger baseball bats, trying to audition for "The Sopranos." Fuck the Upper East Side wives with their Hermès scarves and their fifty-dollar Balducci artichokes. Overfed faces getting pulled and lifted and stretched, all taut and shiny. You're not fooling anybody, sweetheart! Fuck the uptown brothers. They never pass the ball, they don't want to play defense, they take five steps on every lay-up to the hoop. And then they want to turn around and blame everything on the white man. Slavery ended one hundred and thirty seven years ago. Move the fuck on! Fuck the corrupt cops with their anus-violating plungers and their 41 shots, standing behind a blue wall of silence. You betray our trust! Fuck the priests who put their hands down some innocent child's pants. Fuck the church that protects them, delivering us into evil. And while you're at it, fuck J.C.! He got off easy! A day on the cross, a weekend in hell, and all the hallelujahs of the legioned angels for eternity! Try seven years in fuckin' Otisville, J.! Fuck Osama Bin Laden, al-Qaeda, and backward-ass cave-dwelling fundamentalist assholes everywhere. On the names of innocent thousands murdered, I pray you spend the rest of eternity with your seventy-two whores roasting in a jet-fuel fire in hell. You towel-headed camel jockeys can kiss my royal Irish ass! Fuck Jacob Elinsky. Whining malcontent. Fuck Francis Xavier Slaughtery my best friend, judging me while he stares at my girlfriend's ass. Fuck Naturelle Riviera, I gave her my trust and she stabbed me in the back, sold me up the river, fucking bitch. Fuck my father with his endless grief, standing behind that bar sipping on club sodas, selling whisky to firemen, and cheering the Bronx Bombers. Fuck this whole city and everyone in it. From the row-houses of Astoria to the penthouses on Park Avenue, from the projects in the Bronx to the lofts in Soho. From the tenements in Alphabet City to the brownstones in Park Slope to the split-levels in Staten Island. Let an earthquake crumble it, let the fires rage, let it burn to fucking ash and then let the waters rise and submerge this whole rat-infested place....
... No. No, fuck you, Montgomery Brogan. You had it all, and you threw it away, you dumb fuck!
Sometimes you just want to say thank you #TDThanksYou
Watch and try not to cry: A bank converts its ATM into an 'Automated Thanking Machine' to give out free money and gifts to loyal customers
Canadian bank TD Canada Trust found a way to thank its loyal customers that was so heartfelt that it will overwhelm and move you to tears. The bank converted its ATMs into 'talking' Automated Thanking Machines and gave away free money to every customer. Each got $20 doled out in more than 1,000 of its banks while some regular customers had ever a bigger surprise awaiting them. Some were given free vacations while one person got to throw the first pitch at a baseball game hugging and shaking hands with his sports hero.

This Woman Had Her Face Photoshopped In Over 25 Countries To Examine Global Beauty Standards
Through her work, Esther Honig hopes to discover if a global beauty standard actually exists.posted on June 25, 2014, at 10:02 p.m.

Moroccan interpretation of beauty.
Esther Honig, a freelance journalist based out of Kansas City, sent an unaltered photograph of herself to more than 40 Photoshop aficionados around the world. “Make me beautiful,” she said, hoping to bring to light how standards of beauty differ across various cultures.
The project, titled Before & After, originally came to Honig while she was working as a social media manager for a small startup. Her boss introduced her to Fiverr, an international freelancing website where anyone can hire freelancers from around the globe to complete almost any task imaginable. While browsing the site, Honig realized the prevalence of those offering Photoshop skills. “It immediately occurred to me that in this pool of workers, each individual likely had an aesthetic preference particular to their own culture,” Honig told BuzzFeed. Thus, the idea for Before & After was born.
Working with freelancers in over 25 countries, Honig expected that the images would differ from country to country, but was herself caught off guard by just how drastically some of the images were altered. “Seeing some jobs for the first time made me shriek… Other times images, like the one from Morocco, took my breath away because they were far more insightful than I could have expected,” Honig said.
To be sure, the images Honig has collected so far are interesting as individual images, a unique portrait of the standards of beauty in each country. However, when taken in totality, the project becomes much more striking, an interesting launching point into a global conversation about unattainable beauty standards around the world. “What I’ve learned from the project is this: Photoshop [may] allow us to achieve our unobtainable standards of beauty, but when we compare those standards on a global scale, achieving the ideal remains all the more illusive.”
Below are the photographs that Honig has collected thus far. Note: Some countries have multiple images from different artists. Honig continues her project on herwebsite.
