![]() "Lunch Atop a Skyscraper" shows 11 ironworkers casually eating while sitting precariously on a steel beam more than 800 feet above the ground. The exhilarating ride recreates an iconic moment and photograph first published in the New York-Herald-Tribune on Oct. The once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunity also provides visitors a chance to cozy up inside Top of the Rock's new dining experience, The Weather Room, with some hot cocoa and snacks. ![]() A recreated beam lifts visitors 12 feet above the 30 Rockefeller Plaza observation deck before rotating them 180 degrees for a breathtaking view of Central Park and beyond. "Top of the Rock: The Beam" is a new attraction located on the 69th floor of Rockefeller Center. Tishman Speyer will announce additional details about Top of the Rock, including opening dates for the new attractions, in the coming months, so stay tuned.NEW YORK CITY - Get ready to hold on tight in a grand opportunity to soar sky-high atop one of New York City's tallest buildings. Starting October 21 One Vanderbilt will open Summit, an experience and ride that takes visitors up at least 1,000 feet in the air. In 2020, Edge at Hudson Yards opened the highest observation deck in the western hemisphere and the Empire State Building reopened its 102nd-floor observatory. We look forward to partnering with the Landmarks Preservation Commission as it considers this important project." Photograph: Courtesy Tishman Speyer Photograph: Courtesy of Tishman Speyerģ0 Rock is the latest skyscraper to up its observation deck game. "As we reimagine the Top of the Rock experience, our aim is to restore the original historical intent of the observation deck. "We are doubling down on Rockefeller Center as a beacon of New York's bright future," a spokesperson for Tishman Speyer says. There'd also be an installation called "Beacon," which would be a moving globe with audio-visual capabilities and a celestial floor mosaic that echoes the artwork throughout Rockefeller Center. ![]() Right now, an out-of-commission radar and antenna masts are taking up space there. On the 70th floor would be "Top of the Top," a new infinity observation deck giving those sweeping 360-degree views. The experience would have a rotating beam-like structure that visitors could sit on, strap in, and ride upward to above the 69th floor to recreate the famous photo. Under the proposal, owner Tishman Speyer would add a ride-like experience called "Lunch Atop A Skyscraper," taking inspiration from the iconic 1932 photo of 11 ironworkers eating on a steel beam during the construction of Rockefeller Center. RECOMMENDED: You'll be able to take a glass elevator to the top of a 1,401-foot skyscraper this fall ![]() The plan, which is going before the city's Landmarks Preservation Commission on Tuesday, proposes a series of enhancements to the Top of the Rock experience, "which harken back to the history of the observation deck, continue to write the story of Rockefeller Center, and provide a new and unique perspective of the city." The Top of the Rock is aiming to freshen up its observation deck with a ride that would take visitors above its 69th floor and a new "infinity" observation platform that would offer 360-degree views of the city.

![]() Did we solve the Holy Grail? Maybe not completely, but it sure is better than anything else that's been released thus far. That, my friend, is called the "secret sauce". It's not constructive conversation to say at least :) I've clearly asked about Intel I/O Meter report on the same hardware and you've ended as usual telling how much your customers love what they got from you. I did not say anything from what you're been saying I did. Unfortunately either they did not or you just don't know. I'm interested how your engineers did solve "Holy Grail" of a log-structured file systems: random reads. ZFS is a classic file system with log (ZIL) being just an accelerator to handle writes better so it does not have any "log only" related processing overhead. ![]() Magic starts to happen with 100% random reads where log-structured file systems deal with extra level of fragmentation (multiple writes to the same file were stored in the different places on-disk) and extra metadata access (unless redirector table is stored in memory and it's pain for multi-TB LUs). Yes, when serving hot data from cache all properly implemented systems provide similar performance. And I haven't seen anything yet to the contrary. You keep bashing Nimble and saying how much better ZFS would be, but customers have proven otherwise. We've gone up against all kinds of ZFS offshoots and have yet to see one that keeps up, let alone has the scalability and feature set Nimble brings to the table. Seriously KOOLER, let's stop the science projects and just deal with real storage systems. Btw, how about we run 100% random write workloads for a couple hours/days/weeks and see how ZFS responds? Oh wait, we already do.it does the same thing as WAFL -> drops to its knees. Otherwise, we're both serving up non-existent cache data. This is assuming, of course, that prior to the read request we populated the system with data for a while to make sure it's on disk. You know the answer already you're losing 5-10x times.Īre we talking about a ZFS box serving up block traffic to said host? Cause if so, I do know the answer.and it doesn't look pretty for your ZFS toy. FreeBSD running ZFS 28 on the same hardware. Intel I/O Meter with 4KB reads 100% random for 30+ minutes run 8 workers and 64 I/Os in a queue. So while it's certainly higher latency than cached reads, I'd argue with the very poor rating, unless that implies anything that's not sum-millisecond response times. As with my response to John, while performance of non-cached reads is certainly not going to be at SSD latency, our LFS implementation does have some tweaks to reduce the impact compared to competitive systems. If CASL indeed is a log-structured FS it just *HAS* to be very poor with non-cached writes. As far as video if its uncompressed I can see you guys being handly, but really a LSI enignmo or other generic modular is going to be a lot cheaper for streaming throughput workloads. While Nimble isn't purpose-built for video, that doesn't mean it doesn't handle it exceptionally well.ġ00% pure random read for ediscovey is going to get a lot of cache misses. As for streaming media, I think you'd be surprised at just how good CASL works in those environments and how ecstatic video editing/streaming customers have been with Nimble. So, it's actually AMAZING at small block random I/O (read and/or write). The stripe size has to do with the internal structure of CASL, has nothing to do with front-end host load. Not saying it couldn't do it, just generally I'm deploying something completely different for this workload. Tiny block sustained random read (e-discovery) of why again, I'm not sure I'd deploy a Nimble. For this your really looking at a different device (and generally one with a filer head designed to support these operations).Ģ.

It is meant to verify identities for access to physical or digital spaces. Instead of online photo comparisons, the new private-sector offering matches people to ID photos and other data that clients collect with subjects' permission. The settlement with the American Civil Liberties Union bans Clearview from providing the social-media capability to corporate clients. Clearview's attorney, Tor Ekeland stated the flaw was corrected. In February 2020, multiple sources reported that Clearview AI had experienced a data breach, exposing its list of customers. He later stated that Clearview has scraped over 10 billion images from across the web. Ton-That responded in an interview that there is a First Amendment right to access public data and identification results were 99.6% accurate. On February 5 and 6, 2020, Google, YouTube, Facebook, and Venmo sent cease and desist letters as it is against their policies. After discovering Clearview AI was scraping images from their site, Twitter sent a cease-and-desist letter to Clearview, insisting that they remove all images as scraping is against Twitter's policies. The software then supplies links to where the “match” can be found online. ![]() With Clearview, authorities can upload an image of a suspect's face and match it against their database. Law enforcement officers have stated that Clearview's facial recognition is far superior in identifying perpetrators from any angle than previously used technology. Ĭlearview served to accelerate a global debate on the regulation of facial recognition technology by governments and law enforcement. Johnson had an account on Clearview as well as Tor Ekeland. Billionaire John Catsimatidis used it to identify someone his daughter dated and piloted it at one of his Gristedes grocery market in New York City to identify shoplifters. Įarly use of Clearview's app was described as a perk given to potential investors in their Series A fundraising round. It was reported that Ton-That and Schwartz met at the Manhattan Institute. The exposé also identified Hoan Ton-That and Richard Schwartz as the company's founders. Citing the article, over 40 tech and civil rights organizations sent a letter to the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB) and four congressional committees, outlining their concerns with facial recognition and Clearview, and asking the PCLOB to suspend use of facial recognition. History Ĭlearview operated in near secrecy until the release of The New York Times investigative report titled "The Secretive Company That Might End Privacy as We Know It" in January 2020. Clearview's practices have lead to fines by EU nations for violating privacy laws and investigations in the U.S. by police have used the software to apprehend suspected criminals. Founded by Hoan Ton-That and Richard Schwartz, the company maintained a low profile until late 2019, when its usage by law enforcement was reported.

It dissolves in water to give an alkaline solution (pH = 14). They can thus behave as either acids or bases and are thus AMPHOTERIC. Intermediate oxides can react in either of the above ways, depending on the conditions. This attracts the lone pair on water molecules, releasing H ions: This is a strongly basic ion which reacts with water to produce hydroxide ions:Ĭovalent oxides do not contain ions, but have a strongly positive dipole on the atom which is not oxygen. P 4O 10 is a much bigger molecule than SO 3 and so has a much higher melting point, as the van der Waal’s forces are stronger.Īcid-base character of oxides P 4O 10 and SO 3 are molecular covalent and so only intermolecular forces (Van Der Waals) exist between the molecules. There are strong covalent bonds between all the atoms and thus lots of energy is required to break them. SiO 2 has a giant covalent structure and hence a high melting point. MgO and Al 2O 3 have a higher melting point than Na 2O since the charges are higher and the atomic radii smaller, resulting in a stronger electrostatic attraction (forces) between the ions. Na 2O, Al 2O 3 and MgO are ionic oxides and hence have a high melting point. The physical properties of these oxides depend on the type of bonding. Sulphur melts easily and burns with a blue flame forming sulphur(IV) oxide (sulphur dioxide), a colourless gas with a choking odour.Īnother oxide, SO 3 is formed in a reversible process when SO 2 and O 2 are heated with a V 2O 5 catalyst (the Contact Process). This is a vigorous reaction forming masses of white fumes of phosphorus(V) oxide. The oxidation number of P in this oxide is +5. This reaction is vigorous with a brilliant white flame forming a white ash of magnesium oxide.Īl 2O 3 is mostly ionic, but there is significant covalent character. Na can also react with O2 to form Na2O2(sodium peroxide). This reaction is very vigorous as sodium burns with a yellow flame The Oxides Of Period 3 Elements Formation of oxides Īll the elements in Period 3 except chlorine and argon combine directly with oxygen to form oxides. The resulting solutions become increasingly acidic. The reactivity of the elements of period 3 towards water thus decreases from Na to Si, and then increases from P to Cl. ![]() The resulting solution contains HCl(aq) and is thus acidic (pH = 2). Phosphorus and sulphur do not react with water but chlorine will disproportionate to give an acidic solution: P, S and Cl 2 do not reduce water to hydrogen gas. ![]() The resulting solution is weakly alkaline, since the oxide is slightly basic (pH = 9).Īl and Si also react with steam under certain conditions. Mg reacts with cold water very slowly, but can react quickly with steam to give the oxide and hydrogen: The resulting solution is strongly alkaline, and will have a pH of 14. Na reacts vigorously with water to give the hydroxide and hydrogen: Na, Mg, Al and Si are more electropositive than H and can reduce the water to hydrogen gas: The Reaction Of Period 3 Elements With Water 3 The Chlorides Of Period 3 Elements (off syllabus since Jan 2010).1 The Reaction Of Period 3 Elements With Water.If you expose a new surface by cutting the silicon, that layer won't, of course, exist. One source suggests that the lack of reactivity of silicon is due to a layer of silicon dioxide on its surface. This is probably the effect of the high surface area of the dust produced, combined with the fact that you are exposing uncontaminated silicon to the water. The powdered Si is protected somewhat from moisture in the glycol slurry, but when we clean the slurry in aqueous solutions the reaction with water takes off." Cotton and Wilkinson's Advanced Inorganic Chemistry (third edition – page 316) suggests that the reactivity of one of these could be due to a very high surface area, or perhaps because the silicon exists in a graphite-like structure.Ī correspondent from the silicon industry tells me that when silicon is cut into slices, the silicon dust formed reacts with water at room temperature – producing hydrogen and getting very hot. Note: These more reactive forms are produced as powders. |
