The Syrian's mess, Calais's jungle and information





Today I was checking the news an I was surprise by the new of of a military "parade" or Russian military ships near UK, and it makes me think about the reason: aparently the ships are in their way to Sirya, what makes me focus in Syria and I have realice that Sirya is on war for years now. 

 The Calais Jungle appears in the British news daily, I know people volunteering their and I know refugees from the area. What is going on in there? In my search for information I have found that in the military actions there are involved Russia, EEUU, UK, France, Irak Iran and  other countries. What it become such a mess? How can it be I do not know exactly what is doing the British military there?

 I do not, even when I check daily Spanish and British news. How can I do not know? It also happening to most of the people I know, you ask about this particular topic and they are totally lost.

 Do we have to little information or to much?

Adicction and Decision Making: a brainy view.

  Why is this interesting? To answer questions such as how can we understand addictions within our brains? Why are people more affected than others? Is Decision Making relating to Drug addiction? In Bechara 2005 the following similarities between pathing with VMPC (see below, related to the decision making areas of the brain) damage and drug addicts are pointed out : often deny, or not aware, that they have a problem. When faced with a choice that brings immediate reward, even at the risk of incurring future negative outcomes, including loss of reputation, job, and family, they appear oblivious to the consequences of their actions. The above points out that there are similarities. How could define willpower in term of geography in the brain? Willpower as proposed on Bechara 2005: “... willpower emergers from the dynamic interaction of two separate, but interacting, neural systems: and impulsive system, in which the amygdala is a critical neural structure involved in triggering the ...

Reflecting about SIR models and some examples

Reflecting about SIR models  and some examples Feel free to send me you thoughts either in comments or here . This only reflect my personal opinion, none of my employees at any time. Summary SIR model trendy, but they also have some caveats Looks like in Europe and the States the peak could be reach between May and July, with different amount of population affected by country given different policies implemented (so the model need time to incorporate that effect). Potential limitations: Summer could reduce prevalence. Data limitations, brief discussion below. But we are learning about Covid19, we did not have enough tests and so on. Intro After massive disruption for Covid19 everyone is concerned about what is going on and how this could evolve in the future. Massive disruption has occurred and all of us are noticing the consequences (such as compulsory stay at home measures, terrible amounts of deaths and so on). All of us want to help a bit and trying...

Making MongoDB remotely available.

Imagen
Summary Here I show how to make your MongoDB accessible from a different server / computer/ instance, without using ssh. Motivation I have been using MongoDB to store and query some databases. This databases has been shared with other people and in most of the cases I have managed to use it as localhost or using ssh. However when using Docker it is easy to run into problems when using ssh. It is common to access other databases such as MySQL. For example in to use MySQL in Python you could have something like this: import pymysql.cursors # Connect to the database connection = pymysql.connect( host = ' localhost ' , user = ' user ' , password = ' passwd ' , db = ' db ' , charset = ' utf8mb4 ' , cursorclass = pymysql.cursors.DictCursor) In the same line you could query your MongoDB using ...
