  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

  • Jellyfish Merkle Tree
    Jellyfish Merkle Tree Zhenhuan Gao, Yuxuan Hu, Qinfan Wu* Abstract. This paper presents Jellyfish Merkle Tree (JMT), a space-and-computation-efficient sparse Merkle tree optimized for Log-Structured Merge-tree (LSM-tree) based key-value storage, which is designed specially for the Diem Blockchain. JMT was inspired by Patricia Merkle Tree (PMT), a sparse Merkle tree structure that powers the widely known Ethereum network. JMT further makes quite a few optimizations in node key, node types and proof format to find the ideal balance between the complexity of data structure, storage, I/O overhead and computation efficiency, to cater to the needs of the Diem Blockchain. JMT has been implemented in Rust, but it is language- independent such that it could be implemented in other programming languages. Also, the JMT structure presented is of great flexibility in implementation details for fitting various practical use cases. 1 Introduction Merkle tree, since introduced by Ralph Merkle [1], has been a de facto solution to productionized account-model blockchain systems. Ethereum [2] and HyperLedger [3], are examples with various versions of Merkle trees. Although Merkle tree fits pretty well as an authenticated key-value store holding a huge amountof data in a tamper-proof way, its performance in terms of computation cost and storage footprint are two major concerns where people have been trying to achieve some enhancements. Among them, the sparseness of Merkle trees [2], [4], [5] has been aptly leveraged to cut off unnecessary complexity in more compact and efficient Merkle tree design. Virtually, a Merkle tree in reality has far fewer leaf nodes at the bottom level, a far cry from the intractable size that can be held by a perfect Merkle tree.

  • Rodney's Take 8-23-21 FINAL Facebook Take Over World
    Rodney’s Take August 23, 2021 Will Facebook Own the World? Months ago, I heard a DJ on the radio say that while he’s glad people love their kids and want them to have happy birthdays, he has no interest in reading gushy birthday wishes from parents to children, especially to infants and toddlers who have no idea what day it is. The DJ said that if you wouldn’t call to tell him something, don’t post it on Facebook (NYSE: FB). That makes sense to me, and it explains why I’m not a frequent user of the platform. I don’t care that much about the daily happenings in my own life, so sharing them with others seems out of place. I use Facebook to keep up with friends and family, but that’s about it. But that doesn’t mean I’m blind to the appeal. I understand enough about socialization to see how the connectivity, even if ephemeral, can be intoxicating and how Facebook specifically designs algorithms to draw us in and keep us there with things like nudges and photo posting alerts. It’s sort of creepy but definitely drives digital advertising and revenue and is what makes Facebook a money-printing machine. Now the company is preparing to launch a digital currency, Diem, which will be a stablecoin tied to basket of currencies. Central bankers and government regulators are right to be concerned. While around $70 billion worth of Tether, currently the big dog among stablecoins, trades hands every day, that’s just a drop in the bucket of the $5 trillion currency market and daily financial transactions around the world.

  • Nfap Policy Brief » September 2 0 1 5
    NATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR AMERICAN POLICY NFAP POLICY BRIEF » SEPTEMBER 2 0 1 5 THE WORLD HAS CHANGED SINCE 1990, U.S. IMMIGRATION POLICY HAS NOT BY STUART ANDERSON EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Changes in technology over the past 25 years have increased the demand for high-skilled labor in America at the same time U.S. limits on high-skilled immigration have remained stuck at levels set in 1990. Before the iPhone, the iPad, YouTube, Netflix, Amazon and Google, back when Mark Zuckerberg was still in kindergarten, Congress passed its last major piece of legislation on high-skill immigration. The 1990 Immigration Act set in law the 140,000 quota on employment-based green cards, the per country limits that restrict Indian and Chinese immigrants, the 65,000 numerical limit on H-1B visas, along with other measures that, with only minor modifications, have not changed in 25 years. In the meantime, fundamental changes in technology and commerce – the Internet becoming a part of daily life, for example – have greatly expanded the demand for skilled technical labor as America’s immigration laws have restricted access to much of that labor at levels established 25 years ago. Many of today’s major technologies and companies did not exist nor could have been imagined by lawmakers when Congress debated the 1990 Act. The research documents the enormous changes in the U.S. economy and technology since 1990 and contrasts that with the lack of change in America’s policies on employment-based immigration. Table 1 Technological Advances Since 1990 TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCE 1990 2015 World Wide Web * Did not exist 3.2 billion users worldwide, integrated into operations of all major companies.
