I first posted this item Monday of what was reported on several major news sites as an LNG accident. Here's one video.
It's clear that an overturned tanker truck leaked and the vapor ignited with a tremendous blast that killed five people on a Chinese highway, including three firefighters who were responding to the overturned truck.

Georgia Watch, the Sierra Club and AARP are teaming up for a town hall meeting Thursday to discuss Georgia Power's request for a $478 million rate hike to go into effect in the new year.
That hike amounts to about $8 a month for the average consumer. It's coupled with a request to start charging some folks with solar panels on their homes or businesses an additional fee and a request that the power monopoly be allowed to up its return on investment to 11.5 percent profit. (It's already at 11.15 percent.)

The turtles at Daffin Park have been acting strangley of late, swimming right up to the edge of the pond like they were trying to get out. Still, I was surprised this morning when one of those yellow-bellied sliders, about the size of a salad plate, not only didn't paddle away when I approached it, but also let me pluck it out of the water.

I was eating lunch outside when a speck of fluffy dust started moving very purposefully across the table. It was adorable, even wiggling from side to side as it drank from a drop of sweet tea. Here's a video, including a closer look under the fluff where, truth be told, it's a lot less charming. I'd love to know what it is. I thought maybe a bagworm, but maybe not.

I got a call this morning from Susan Hall, a school counselor in Effingham, who said she's seen a dolphin I reported on last month. A group of scientists freed the animal from a noose made of trash on July 1 near Dutch Island. Susan had seen the animal several times when it still wore the rubbery strap and was happy to spot it again recently while out on her Jet Ski. She knew it was the same animal because it still bears a circular scar from its ordeal and now also sports a tag on its dorsal fin. Scientists never gave the dolphin a name, but Hall calls her Tag. Hall has recently had success publishing a children's book about penguins and she's writing a story about Tag, too.
Tag appears to be a resident dolphin as opposed to one that migrates. Scientists figure she's about 2 or 3. Here's hoping she's learned to stay away from trash.

Well, it's the 15th and I thought I'd have my slick new recycling bin from the city by today. But when I left for work this morning I was still bin-less. In fact, my whole block of 49th St. is starting to get a complex. On Dec. 5 the blocks directly north and south of us got their black and yellow bins. By the end of last week they had them about two blocks west of us and five blocks east, but still none for us. I complained to a city official and he called sanitation last Tuesday. No luck. Then I called 311 on Friday. The operator seemed unimpressed with my situation. "They're still delivering them," she said. Yeah, I know, but it does seems like we've been skipped.
The recyclables were piling up so much I had to call a friend just south of me and use her bin over the weekend. My son and I wheeled everything over to her lane in a red wagon. The inaugural dump filled her bin halfway. (I was pleased, though Hoagie, the Great Dane watching the production from behind his nearby fence, was very wary of the whole deal.) Another neighbor who was also being engulfed by her recyclables made what she hopes was a final trip to the private recycling center on West Gwinnett.

I was talking with the team working on our yard – they're putting in new sidewalks and a patio, amongst other things – and we got on the subject of gutters. When we bought this house, it came with no gutters, and that has, over time, caused some serious damage to the base of the house. Wood and plaster do not take it well when water pours down on them at the rate that, oh, say melting snow in the spring sends it down. So I had them get us an estimate for gutters on the entire house. Some of the work they're estimating is running the gutters right to the storm drain, which is not normally cheap, but they had both the front and back yards all ripped up, so it is a good time to do it, both cheaper and less messy, since the mess is already there.
So I told them to do it, because I don't want the sod they're going to lay to be ripped up in a year when we decide to put the gutters on, and certainly don't want them to rip up the patio and sidewalks they're putting in now just to lay pipe later – that would be nearly impossible.
And that, in a nutshell, is the same reason why FPGAs are used in a lot of high-tech firms. If the device is my yard/sidewalks, and I have to choose between a custom ASIC versus an FPGA, the custom ASIC would require me to rip up the yard later, while the FPGA is planning ahead for change.
Let me explain. With an FPGA, the circuits are programmed. Not like software, but code sets up the circuits, and then they are pretty equivalent to having them be hard-wired. With an ASIC, they really are hard-wired. So six months later, a change to the system – be it added functionality or fixes to existing logic – will be far easier with an FPGA than an ASIC. With an FPGA, the design file is opened, the changes made and tested, then the config is compiled and delivered to manufacturing. At that point, the devices produced with the new config file will have the new functionality. With ASICs, you change the design, send it to a manufacturing shop, wait for the shop to produce a small run (working it into their schedule that is), test the result, and then do a full production run. Then the new ASIC has to be put on the assembly line to replace the old ASIC. The difference is astronomical in terms of time required and even more so in terms of cost.
Of course there are some trade-offs. Every architectural choice results in trade-offs, and anyone who tells you differently is indeed trying to sell you something, and they don't want to admit the trade-offs used to produce what they're selling.
One of the big concerns out there about FPGAs is that they're less secure. In the most vague, general sense, this is true. But in practical use scenarios, it most certainly isn't. Here are the concerns, and why they're over-rated (note that these notes are adapted from responses to my questions put to Clint Harames of F5<'s most excellent FPGA team, I cannot vouch for other production except to say the other teams I was involved with outside of F5 were similar):
- It's field programmable! What if it gets modified? In F5's case, none of the programmability is accessible from the outside. There is no Ethernet or coding hack that can reprogram it, because that functionality is not accessible. Other vendors work to a differing standard, so definitely worth checking, though I would remind you that it is almost never going to be as easy to hack an FPGA as it is to hack software or COTS hardware.
- Okay, but can't it be erased and destroy the device? In theory yes (though erasing it is only effective until the next boot – non-destructive, so-to-speak), but if "modify" functionality is not accessible, then it can't be erased easily. The caveat is that there is of course a reset pin on the chip, but if the ne'er-do-well has physical access to your device, time to disassemble the device, and a handy pinout for the FPGA chip you're using, I'm going to guess you have bigger problems than whether they can reset your FPGA.
- If it's programmable, can't the program be read out and modified? Again, that functionality can be enabled on the chip, and you can check with your device manufacturer to see if they leave it enabled for production devices. Remember, it is a twofold story here, in F5's case, we don't generally want to reprogram production devices and don't want to make reverse engineering our product any easier than it has to be, while we want to protect you from someone modifying a production device. So when the design is done and meets all test criteria, we at F5 turn access to this functionality off completely before shipping product is produced. Definitely worth checking with your vendor to find out what they are doing.
Again, your vendor may do things differently, if, for some reason they need the ability to reprogram the FPGA in your device.
For you, the IT staffer, the benefits are pretty straight-forward. The device you purchase will be closer to "up to date" because of the time-to-market benefits of FPGAs, it will be cheaper because of the reduced up-front costs (note that like everything involving costs, economies of scale can change the "cheaper" part to be untrue, depending upon the costs involved), and the resulting device will be far, far faster than the equivalent processing done on a general purpose CPU. In the end, it is hardware doing the processing, and FPGAs have concurrency that general purpose CPUs can only match with a huge number of cores, even then since the OS handles the scheduling on a general purpose CPU, many cores does not normally make up the performance difference.
There are some who think the advent of virtualization and virtualized appliances should curb the use of FPGAs, as the virtual version has to include all the functionality. While this is, on the surface, a reasonable argument, it has a flaw. FPGAs are MUCH faster than software will ever be, let alone a VM running on a host with who-knows-how-many other VMs sharing its resources. So in cases like F5, where there is a hardware and a software version, the key is to be able to run in both. TMOS, F5's OS for traffic management, uses hardware if available, software if not. This offers the best of both worlds – acceptable traffic management in a VM, and high-performance traffic management in hardware.
Next time I'll delve into specific functionality that on our hardware platforms is implemented in FPGA, and how that helps you do your job in IT, today was more of a "what are the risks, what are the benefits" in a generic sense.

As more intelligent IoT applications shift into gear, they're merging into the ever-increasing traffic flow of the Internet. It won't be long before we experience bottlenecks, as IoT traffic peaks during rush hours. Organizations that are unprepared will find themselves by the side of the road unable to cross back into the fast lane. As billions of new devices begin to communicate and exchange data – will your infrastructure be scalable enough to handle this new interconnected world?

Developing software for the Internet of Things (IoT) comes with its own set of challenges. Security, privacy, and unified standards are a few key issues. In addition, each IoT product is comprised of at least three separate application components: the software embedded in the device, the backend big-data service, and the mobile application for the end user's controls. Each component is developed by a different team, using different technologies and practices, and deployed to a different stack/target - this makes the integration of these separate pipelines and the coordination of software upd...

2011-12: Hogberg skated for the Linkoping U20 team as a 17-year-old, appearing in 35 games, and capped the year by winning a silver medal with Sweden at the 2012 U18 World Junior Championship. After finishing the regular season with a 2.48 goals against and .919 save percentage, Hogberg was 6-0 in the playoffs with a 1.64 goals against and .939 save percentage as Liinkopings captured the U20 championship. Hogberg appeared in two games at the U18 WJC as a backup to Oscar Dansk and was 1-0 with a 3.44 goals against and .889 save percentage.
2012-13: Hogberg made his pro debut in Sweden's Elitserien, appearing in three games for Linkoping, while also skating for the club's U20 team. He was 1-1 with a 2.57 goals against and .884 save percentage in Elitserien play for the fifth-place club. In 23 regular season games for Linkoping's U20 team he had a 2.41 goals against and .917 save percentage. He did not see any action in the U20 playoffs as 19-year-old Jacob Johansson handled the goaltending for Linkoping. Hogberg was the fourth ranked European goalie in Central Scouting's final rankings and was selected by Ottawa in the third round (78th overall) of the 2013 NHL Draft.
2013-14:Hogberg played in 15 games, including the post-season, with Linkoping in the re-christened SHL and skated for Mora in Allsvenskan. He played one game with Sweden's U20 team at the 2014 World Junior Championship. Hogberg was 3-1 in four regular season starts for Linkoping with a 1.08 goals against and .960 save percentage. He started the first game of Linkoping's play-in series against MODO but was replaced by veteran Christian Engstrand early in the second period after allowing three goals on 21 shots. Linkoping came back to win the game in overtime, 5-4. Two nights later Hogberg stopped all 29 shots he faced in a 4-0 shutout win. Linkoping reached the playoff semifinals against eventual champion Skelleftea. Sharing time with Engstrand, Hogberg was 3-5 in nine playoff games with a 3.07 goals against and .908 save percentage. He was 5-8 in 15 Allsvenskan games for Mora and had a 2.93 goals against and .892 save percentage.

Sweden lost to Finland in overtime, 3-2, in the gold medal game.
2014-15: Hogberg played in 27 regular season games for Linkoping in his first SHL season — sharing the goaltending duties with veteran David Rautio. He was 12-12-0 with 3 shutouts and had a 2.30 goals against and .917 save percentage. Linkopings finished third in the regular season, three points behind eventual playoff champion Vaxjo, and lost to Skelleftea in the playoff semifinals. Hogberg was 1-4 in six playoff games with a 3.18 goals against and .903 save percentage. Hogberg was 2-0, stopping 70 of 76 shots, in two Allsvenskan games on loan to Oskarshamn.
Hogberg attended development camp with the Senators in July but has yet to sign an entry-level contract and returned to Sweden for his second SHL season with Linkoping in 2015-16. Once again slated to split time with David Rautio, he has shown potential and more should be known about his long-term potential following the season.
