The Rise of Silicon Valley – Martin Packard PhD ’49 Stanford

Aug. 3, 2019 – In the 2015 WAIS Conference (Oct. 10-11), Martin was supposed to make a presentation about Varian Associates, the pioneer Silicon Valley Company. But he was not able to make the presentation per doctor’s advice. However arrangements were made so that after the conference on Sunday Oct. 11, 2015, I visited and stayed over at his place. The next day after breakfast, he discussed the presentation and I asked him five (5) questions regarding the rise of Silicon Valley. 

The email below was sent on Oct. 18, 2015 wherein Martin mentioned that the Nobel prize winners in economics for 2015 were discussing many of the same topics we discussed.  Then on Thanksgiving Saturday Nov. 28, 2015, my son Gabriel and I had lunch with Martin Packard and continued our discussion on the Rise of Silicon Valley. Any state, country, investor, educator, industrialist and businessman interested in the replication of the Silicon Valley should listen to Martin Packard.  He said he was writing his memoirs I’d like to see his book because I have not written down our discussions.

During lunch, we found out that Varian Associates developed the following big-ticket items:

  • The Bar Code
  • The GPS (using 26 or so satellites)
  • The atomic clock and other equipment used in the Apollo program.

======================

Martin Packard (PhD ’49 Stanford) was supposed to make a presentation in the Oct. 2015 WAIS Conference at Stanford. His presentation was about the rise of Silicon Valley. The doctors advised him to get some rest.

After the conference, I went over to his place and we talked about his paper. I don’t know if the discussion on the contributions Varian, the company he worked for, made in Silicon Valley was part of his presentation.

I asked five (5) questions regarding the rise of Silicon Valley. I look forward to his memoirs, Martin is currently working on that should include his presentation intended for the 2015 WAIS Conference.

My comment:

Bienvenido Macario Dec. 26, 2016

With Article 50 the EU has made sure it would be very difficult for the UK or anyone for that matter, to simply walk away from the EU.

In my opinion, Brussels (EU HQ) made sure that when a referendum was held in the UK, it will be packaged in a way that if the UK wanted to leave, they should vote REMAIN and RE-NEGOTIATE the terms including Article 50.

And If voters wanted the UK STAY in EU, they should VOTE LEAVE. And Article 50 as it is and as it was will make sure the UK to leave will take at least two years to leave and very inconvenient.

On the eve of the referendum a good 10% of the voters were undecided. They could have tilted the result towards Bremain.

One thing is certain, even those who wanted the UK to leave the EU, a new treaty must be negotiated with the EU to include future business transactions with the EU member countries.

Brexit vote is water under the bridge. There are NOW other options most favorable to the UK.

Excerpt: “I was in favor of “Remain” only because it is the best way to disengage from the EU. The way the question was asked in the referendum made no mention of the special status of the UK in the EU that PM David Cameron negotiated on February 19, 2016.

Business and foreign affairs are so similar to military science: How to disengage from an ongoing battle is one of the most difficult military operations. As for Brexit, how will the UK re-position itself in the Europe? Should it pursue trade agreements with the US or with far-flung British Commonwealth nations such as Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, more than its European next-door neighbors?”

The former Ukip leader spoke about Mr Cameron’s poor negotiating style and said that because of his background he wasn’t aggressive enough when making his demands to the European Union.

Speaking to Nick Ferrari on LBC, Mr Farage criticised the former Prime Minister for the way he demanded changes from the European Union before the EU referendum.

According to the 52-year-old European MEP, Mr Cameron should have been more aggressive and taken tips from the French when negotiating.

He said: “Does he really know what street fighting is? Because where he let himself down, I think, wasn’t in the campaign, it was the deal.

Nigel Farage criticised David Cameron’s negotiating style prior to the EU referendum

“He goes over and makes very modest demands, doesn’t threaten anything.

“He basically said, ‘this is what I want, and if I don’t get it well, we’ll stay anyway’.”

David Cameron, the former Conservative party leader stepped down as Prime Minister after 17.4million people voted to leave the European Union on June 23.

The politician then resigned as MP of Witney which triggered a by-election on September 12.

Nigel Farage continued with his tirade over Mr Cameron and admitted if he had been stronger with his EU negotiations then Britain may not have elected to Leave the EU.

Nigel Farage is a British politician who has been the leader of the UK Independence Party since October 2016.

He said: “It was the whole strategy that was wrong. There are countries that are good at negotiating in the European Union, the French.

“They say, ‘look give us what we want of we will veto the whole treaty, that’s how they do it.

“Cameron and the Foreign Office were all terribly gentlemanly. He asked for nothing, he got less, it was a disaster.”

The former Ukip leader argued that Britain took the chance to leave the EU and be the “first brick out of the wall” before someone else done it.

Dec. 26, 1862 – This Day In History: 38 Dakota Hanged As Ordered by Lincoln

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 38 DAKOTA PUT TO DEATH BY HANGING THAT WAS ORDERED BY LINCOLN

Hanging by death of 38 Dakota was ordered by President Abraham Lincoln

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: DECEMBER 26, 1862

MANKATO, MINNESOTA—On December 26, 1862 on the day after Christmas, 38 Dakota (Santee Sioux) were put to death by hanging. The deaths were ordered by President Abraham Lincoln, the Great Emancipator.

The hangings were the result of the Dakota War of 1862, which terminated the rights of Dakota people from living in Minnesota at that time.

====================

Over and above the U.S. military’s objection, my great grandfather Nicolas Aldana and three others were hanged on Dec. 12, 1901 in Cavite, Philippines. The American civilian authorities listened to suggestions that with Aguinaldo’s pledge of allegiance, the Philippine insurrection will end. Instead the insurrectionists led by landowning elite waged a guerilla warfare that proved to be the precursor to the American experience in Vietnam 62 years later.

In July 1902 when Aguinaldo was released and decided to go visit his home in Cavite Viejo, he inquired what protection the US military could give him. It should be noted that Gen. Antonio Luna whom Aguinaldo ordered killed lived in Ilocos Norte. My great grandfather lived in Las Pinas, the town Aguinaldo must pass through to reach Cavite Viejo, Cavite.
