Is net cast fishing permit or allow in the New Jersey and Delaware bay shore?

Posted on by

I’ve been researching to see if it’s legal or permitted to do net cast fishing in the New Jersey Delaware Bay, especially in the Northeast Cape May area Villas.

We will be in the North of Cape May Delaware. We rented a vacation home there, will spend long week end there. Oh yeah!, so now hackers know I’m away from home, preparing to hack me again for some reason whatever that may be, maybe because my web server is week and so script kiddie took advantage to turn my web server into a hacking machine hacking, using my ID to hack the web.

OK so, let’s get back to the main topic for this blog entry. Is net cast fishing permitted? I’ve not seen any information on the web that would indicate permitted or not, so I guess I can net cast fishing until someone told me so, and I will stop and hopefully I will not get fined big if were to get caught. Or perhaps net cast is permitted and doesn’t care about it since not much fish there or difficult to catch fish with net cast, or net cast will destroy your net because of the bottom has sharp objects or something similar to that matter.

When I was in Canada, I read about net cast fishing on both the Canadian border and US water, it is permitted but to catch certain fish such as bait fish and some other fish that are abundant, so I’m guessing same rule applied here. To me, the bottom line is, I go fishing with a permit and to catch fish, as long as I know my quota and the size of the fish I can catch then I think it’s within the compliance area. As long that I’m not fishing or catching fish in a way to destroy the fish population or commercial fishing. Will see.

According to the official Canadian website above. Children age 15 and younger do not need a US Passport to travel to Canada by land or by sea. A US birth certificate is good enough when traveling with both parents, if both parents are not present and then need a consent letter from the parents authorize the child to travel with someone in particular off course like aunt uncle, hopefully not friends or stranger 🙂

 

So much good news on Bitcoin but yet the price of Bitcoin goes down

Posted on by

So what happening with Bitcoin? According to the news in regard to Bitcoin, now a day there are so many good news about Bitcoin development, so many business are interested and some adopted it already, some are thinking about it, and very little are still skeptical about Bitcoin.

With the news that silk road operator goes to jail and the FBI agents whom investigate silk road took or stolen some of the Bitcoin at the time and cash it to at least $800,000 during the time are also in hot water now and probably will be on trial and prison sentence soon. Almost seems like Bitcoin is a drug in this case.

Back to the price of Bitcoin, why is it going down? well it’s not really going down, it’s been hovering between $200 and close to $300 for a month. At least it’s not down down to like $100s, so maybe it stabilize at $200-$300, lower than this value would trigger lots of buy volume. No one really know, just speculation where the rich with money buy and sell pretty quick since to them is high risk.

So who won those Bitcoins that government auctioned? yep two winners, are they selling it little by little? possibly.

What happen to Bitcoin mining? for sure it’s not for profit anymore. For those that think they can purchase bitcoin ming to make money, it’s not possible today and maybe not in a year or two. However you can mine and just save your Bitcoin, don’t sell it, otherwise it’s a loss; this is if you can afford electricity and get the miner cheap, to me, it’s better to buy Bitcoin directly and save it. Mining still happening for bigger commercial mining farm, such as the early adopter, meaning people whom had been mining for a long time and profit quite a bit of money already and able to afford electricity and equipment. For new mining farm, it’s probably not a good idea.

Airplane cockpit bullet proof locked could be potential dangers

Posted on by

I don’t know much about how airplane cockpit door work, but as far as I know this door now a day is bullet proof and next to impossible to break down during in flight. Next to impossible to break down because nobody on board would have weapons to break it down, and even if there’s a federal agent with guns, can’t easily shoot it down either.

So again I’m don’t know much about the operation process, but I’m sure it is possible that if there are more than one pilot, one can lock out the other pilot by either systematically denied access to get back in, such as the pilot from the outside entering the code to get in, but inside the other person have a few seconds to denied it, and kept on denying it. If the door have a physical handle, then it’s worst, even if outside have to the code to get in and fast enough to open the lock, but the physical handle lock it, makes the automatic code entries useless because is locked with a lever from the inside.

So with all these being said, what happened to GermanWing airplane that crashed confirmed appears to be a co-pilot suicide want to bring all 150~ people on board with him. The co-pilot also been confirmed had a history of mental illness problem, and GermanWing said that all their pilot goes through passing grade of mental medical test, apparently not this co-pilot. So who is held responsible? I say start with GermanWing or the airline industry, what kind of medical test saying PASSED when this co-pilot clearly have mental illness.

Now back to the door airplane cockpit door issue. How to improve? well some say get pilot diaper, it’s a joke, but not funny, this case pilot doesn’t need to leave their seat, well what if the other pilot trick him and kill him or injured him to commit this act? same thing. Some recommend to build a toilet inside the cockpit, but again not really feasible. How about training and extensive medical illness test? Well to me, the real solution is remote flying, meaning if the plane is in trouble and strange activities detected the remote location would get notified and a remote pilot can override the pilot up in the air by locking it, then have the plane circling up the sky until things has been rectified, and if possible have the remote pilot land plane nearest airport.

Final words. Rest in peace GermanWing flight that crashed into France remote mountain, please help us solve the mystery and prevent this occurrences.

Facebook make people stupid

Posted on by

Apparently there are lots and lots of people writings about how Facebook can make people stupid both online and in real life, and on top of that impacting your general intelligence. The ones whom are writing about the negative side of facebook, we don’t know if they’re bias or hatred of facebook or had some bad encounter with facebook or something I don’t know.

My own opinion, yes and now, could impact a person’s intelligence.

Yes, you will become stupid, if you use facebook in a wrong way. Let say you check facebook daily and you subscribed to posting or newsfeed that are not  from a credible source then most likely you will get the wrong news. Sadly also as you scroll up and down, there will be some advertisements that will trick you to become curious and you clicked on it and started reading and you actually believe it or fall for it.

No, you will not become stupid if you use facebook the right way. Basically the opposite of the yes above. Subscribe to credible news sources such as CNN and so on. Only connect your facebook to friends that you know in real life, and off course your family comes first. Don’t just add thousand of friends to facebook. Having like a dozen helpful facebook friends is better than having thousands of friends that clicked on LIKE, it’s like clicking LIKE war game whoever get the most likes WIN.

Happy Lunar New Year folks year of the sheep 2015

Posted on by

For those of you that are Chinese, Taiwanese, Vietnamese and probably Cambodian, and Laos are celebrating Lunar New Year. Basically it’s today February 19th 2015 is the Lunar New year in which the Chinese, Taiwanese and Vietnamese are celebrating it big! biggest holiday of the year, it’s like the Christmas in USA.

I have to admit that, just in case anyone doesn’t know. I am Vietnamese. I came to America many years ago, and I speaks and writes fluent in Vietnamese. English is apparently not my first language, as you can see I made a lot of mistake in writings, don’t when to use correct grammar properly.

Ever since I moved away from California, which is the home of many Vietnamese, although Vietnamese are all scattered across the USA, but California is like the home of many Vietnamese, I don’t seem to have that Vietnamese traditional new year anymore. Part of it because where I live now, not too many Vietnamese and so the traditional cultures including big holidays such as Lunar New Year appears to be just like any ordinary day for me, working and spending time with the family. Off course, all my free are spent online, here and everywhere online.

So this year of Lunar New Year 2015 is the year of the sheep, and I wish every a happy New Year with all the best wishes and success! 🙂

Tell Congress to Support Small Business Exports

Posted on by

Only one thing I can say about this “tell your Members of Congress that you support new trade policies that open up markets and enable small U.S. businesses to grow and create jobs”

I’ve done business online, mostly being a freelancer. However lately I’ve done business on ebay selling anything from electronics to virtual currency such as Bitcoin and Dogecoins. Once in a while I do have international customers, but through the Ebay international shipping process, the transaction was smooth because Ebay took care of everything from there on to the international customers.

To help out everyone doing business online, including ebay. There are many associated fees already, and if there are more fees, and more rules to follow, many small business will fail miserably, so please support this action. If you receive a message asking to take by contacting your congress people to “tell your Members of Congress that you support new trade policies that open up markets and enable small U.S. businesses to grow and create jobs”

Dear Main Street Member,

Small businesses using the Internet to sell globally aren’t reaching their full export potential because a majority of the world’s trade laws were developed in a “pre-Internet” era and current policies make it difficult for many U.S. small businesses to sell internationally. For years, eBay Inc. has pushed policymakers to eliminate these artificial barriers to e-commerce, but now we need YOUR help.

Congress will soon debate changes to our nation’s trade policies that will affect small U.S. businesses. Click here to tell your Members of Congress that you support new trade policies that open up markets and enable small U.S. businesses to grow and create jobs.

Your involvement makes a difference.

Sincerely,

The eBay Inc. Government Relations Team

Is this the world largest Bitcoin mining operations?

Posted on by

This is probably one of the biggest Bitcoin mining operations in the world. This one is in China, located in a perfect place where cheap power and cool climate for running these mining rigs.

This Bitcoin mining operation claimed to paid $80K (usd) in electric bill a month, and about 4000BTC mined monthly. So if you do the match, you will see that they’re in the profit, however we need to factor in the initial investments, and rent employees working there. Appears that these employees are being paid well. These employees must have computer skill, will train on maintenance of the Bitcoin miners.

At the current price of Bitcoin $230, this operation are making about $1 million dollars worth of Bitcoin monthly. Now imagine if the price of Bitcoin is at $1000, that’s very profit if Bitcoin price ever to go back up again to $1000.

I started mining Bitcoin with a computer, making a couple Bitcoin a day, and then the difficulty increased, so hard to make bitcoin, I had to abandon my computer and get many GPUs but still making less Bitcoin like 1 btc a week. Then ASIC came out and I had to abandon GPU and use ASIC. Then now with Bitcoin at $200, even with ASIC I’m not making any money to pay for electricity, and so I had to abandon ASIC also, and now just hold a few Bitcoin waiting for it to go back up hopefully at $1000 then I cash it out. Yes everyone is saying Bitcoin will be up over $1000 eventually, for sure not in the next couple of years, maybe 5 to 10 years. I think I can wait 🙂

The country King of Jordan avenging for their pilot burned alive, What Japan doing for their killed journalist?

Posted on by

After confirming their jet fighter pilot killed burned alive by the ISIS, Jordan took action avenging their pilot by massive Airstrike onto the ISIS regions. What does Japan do for their beheaded journalist? apparently nothing or at least not transparent. I hope Japan reaction would be as strong or some other ways without violent as Jordan.

Let’s take a look back at history the reaction of a country on certain event. Take 9/11 as first example, American did not have strong military involvement against the terrorist until the terrorist attacked Americans soil, that’s when Americas bomb the crap out of the terrorist include Sadam Hussein. What did Obama done lately? not too much success against the terrorist. I would have to give a lot of credits to Bush as president he sure indeed protect the lives of Americans and people around the world by harsh military actions, not Obama hasn’t too much to destroy the terrorist.

Japan better wake up! and support the  military action against the ISIS, athough Japan is still under the agreement not to have build up military power, instead uses its military power for defense only. However Japan have technology which it can help NATO and others to defeat ISIS, so do it Japan.

How will the Japanese react to the ISIS beheaded two Japanese journalist?

Posted on by

I thought I saw an article from CNN website in regards to the Japanese reactions to ISIS beheaded two of their journalist. The Japanese people reaction to this act from ISIS was “Japanese will never forgive ISIS” those are strong words.

Apparently that guy whom had beheaded many people already claimed that he is ISIS, and confirmed. I’m just surprised that person is not being captured yet and brought to justice if he’s alive.

With all the technology we have to day, in addition to the spy planes drones satellite and so on, we still don’t know where this person is. The video was posted on the internet, probably social media website, but by who, can we track them down one step at a time? bring all those that have something to do with the beheaded of many people already.

The Japanese have superior technology, can’t the Japanese do anything to track down these ISIS terrorist? Using technology, or at least provide the technology to the US or whoever that are fighting the ISIS terrorist today?

My personal opinion on this is that, the Japanese now have a reason to participate in the fight against the terrorist, and this incident might be good as now the fight against ISIS terrorist have more participant, and this new participant have superior technologies which might be able to assist in the fight.
