Sundar Pichai speaks during the Google I/O 2015 keynote presentation in San Francisco, May 28, 2015. He's now CEO of the new Google Inc.
Jeff Chiu/Associated Press
Good morning. The creation of Alphabet, Google Inc.'s new holding company, will strengthen its efforts at innovation in several ways. It brings more transparency to the performance of so-called Moonshot ideas embedded in areas such as Google X, from which Google Glass and the self-driving car efforts have emerged. It creates the potential to offer shares in promising newer businesses, which could help attract and retain talent, an area that has been challenging for Google as startups bid away engineers and other leaders. It also focuses the efforts of Google's founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, ever more tightly on growth.
"Those long bets are now baked into the most basic DNA of the company, and Page and Brin have little reason to stop making them," the Verge's Russell Brandom writes.
See our roundup of Alphabet analysis below.
Obama calls for supercomputing boost. President Barack Obama issued an executive order at the end of July calling for the creation of a National Strategic Computing Initiative, with the goal of building a supercomputer that can deliver 100 times the performance of current 10 petaflop systems and improving technologies used for data analytics. The order follows a long line of public initiatives in which the government has been a catalyst for major technological change, CIO Journal reports. History suggests there is some reason for optimism, although balancing the needs of business and government can be difficult. "It's going to take a lot of thought to make sure they don't mandate something that has no applicability in the marketplace," IDC analyst Bob Sorensen tells CIO Journal.
If the end of Moore's Law is near, what's next? As a result of Moore's Law, the costs of computing have been fallen at an exponentially accelerating rate for almost five decades. But for the past two years, we seem to be at a plateau, as the price per transistor has stopped falling, guest columnist Irving Wladawsky-Berger writes. If Moore's Law is indeed at a plateau, some of the more dramatic tech projections may well not come to pass. So what comes next? AI is making progress, but it's uneven. Tech has entered its own Cambrian age, where it's very important but no longer the key driver of innovation, and computers are no longer its preponderant families.
Google co-founder Larry Page speaks during the keynote presentation at Google I/O 2013 in San Francisco.
Google forms new parent company; shakes up management. Google unveiled a reorganization that separates its highly profitable search and advertising business from fledgling efforts in an array of so-called moonshots, the WSJ reports. The holding company is called Alphabet Inc., which will be run by Google's current leaders, including Chief Executive Larry Page, co-founder Sergey Brin and Chief Financial Officer Ruth Porat. Google said each Alphabet subsidiary would have its own CEO, reporting to Mr. Page, a structure similar to Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Sundar Pichai will be CEO of the core Google businesses.
Google's move is one of the most significant steps by a technology giant to get a handle on the sprawl of businesses it has entered, reports The New York Times, a problem increasingly facing major companies like Facebook Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. Google is listening to Wall Street while trying to keep innovation going. And while investors won't be able to see results for individual companies, the financial reporting structure will make it easier to get a sense of how Google's core business is performing.
Quartz has put together a full list of every Alphabet company and product ... literally from A to Z. What isn't yet clear is which of these will be run as Alphabet business units separate from Google.
Stratechery's Ben Thompson looks back at Google's 2004 IPO letter, where Larry Page said he aspired to make Google an institution that makes the world a better place. "I suspect the strongest driver behind this change was that in Page's mind, 'making the world a better place' was increasingly in conflict with 'Google the institution'." By establishing Alphabet, Mr. Thompson writes, "Page has prioritized the former at the cost of abandoning the continued making and maintenance of the institution Google has become to the very capable hands of Sundar Pichai."

IBM wants artificial intelligence to help identify disease. International Business Machines' planned acquisition of Merge Healthcare Inc., which sells systems that help doctors store and access medical images, is a crucial step in its plan to put artificial intelligence to use in medicine, the WSJ reports. Merge's crown jewels are 30 billion images, including X-rays, computerized tomography, and magnetic-resonance-imaging scans, that IBM intends to use to "train" its Watson software to identify ailments such as cancer and heart disease.
Startups vie to build an Uber for health care. New services are offering on-demand house calls for nonemergency medical care, from giving flu shots to treating strep throats and stitching lacerations, the WSJ's Melinda Beck reports. Pager, in New York City, dispatches doctors or nurse practitioners via Uber, for $200. Heal, in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Orange County, Calif., promises to "get a doctor to your sofa in under an hour" for $99. RetraceHealth, in Minneapolis, has a nurse practitioner consult with patients via video, and only comes to their homes if hands-on care like a throat swab or blood draw is necessary.
Symantec to sell data storage unit to Carlyle. Software security firm Symantec Corp. has agreed to sell its Veritas data storage business to private equity firm Carlyle Group, a person familiar with the matter tells Reuters. Symantec has been seeking buyers for Veritas for months, but interest was limited due to the tax burden associated with splitting the company.
Addressing dangers of airborne shipments of lithium batteries. The major trade group representing lithium-battery manufacturers has agreed to the outlines of tighter packaging standards for airborne shipments to prevent disastrous fires onboard, the WSJ's Andy Pasztor reports. Lithium batteries, packed tightly together, can overheat or catch fire if they are damaged or experience short circuits. An FAA spokeswoman said crafting packaging standards "is a critical step in mitigating the risks," but the rules must be "adequate and repeatable" by regulators.
England to roll out Wi-Fi-enabled tailored billboards. Ocean Outdoor U.K. Ltd., one of Britain's largest digital billboard companies, is rolling out an advertising system that relies on advances in image-detection software to power billboards that are catered to passersby, the WSJ's Charlie Wells reports. Cameras placed in the billboards at the main train station in Birmingham, England will capture images of people there and beam those back to computers, which will analyze characteristics like gender and age. That will help create ads displayed on the billboards—a series of giant screens atop the station's busiest entrances.
Dorsey, other Twitter executives bump up their stakes. Twitter Inc. interim chief Jack Dorsey is leading a blitz by top brass to buy shares in the social-media company, an effort designed to rally support at a time of turmoil, the WSJ's Jeff Elder reports. Twitter's shares rose 9.1% to $29.50 on Monday, after last week hovering just above the $26 IPO price set in November 2013.
China's Xiaomi is assembling smartphones in India. Smartphone maker Xiaomi Corp. started assembling handsets in India, as the company presses ahead with global expansion plans, the WSJ's Sean McLain reports. Huawei Technologies Co. and Oppo Mobile Telecommunications Corp. have also said they want produce in India. Samsung Electronics Co. recently said it invested around $80 million in an existing plant and is looking to open another, which would be its third in India.
Franchises help double Take-Two revenue. Videogame publisher Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. on Monday reported fiscal first-quarter revenue that more than doubled thanks to a strong performance from its most popular franchises, the WSJ's Sarah E. Needleman reports, though the company's profit fell short of Wall Street's expectations.
U.S. to charge that hackers tapped early deal news. U.S. authorities are preparing to unseal sweeping charges as early as Tuesday against a group of traders and computer hackers who allegedly schemed to get early access to press releases about mergers and acquisitions and trade on them before the deals were made public, the WSJ reports. Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn and New Jersey plan to announce charges against more than a half dozen people with securities fraud and other charges in connection with the alleged scheme, which authorities believe netted tens of millions of dollars in illicit profits.
Envestnet deal values Yodlee at $590 million. Envestnet Inc., a Chicago-based provider of online investment tools, said it has reached a deal to acquire Yodlee Inc. in a cash-and-stock transaction, the WSJ's Bradley Hope reports. Yodlee, which provides personal-finance apps to 11 of the country's top 20 banks by assets, was featured in a front-page article of The Wall Street Journal last Friday that highlighted the firm's side business of selling access to some anonymous bank-customer transaction data to investment and research firms.
EVERYTHING ELSE YOU NEED TO KNOW
China moves to devalue the yuan. China's central bank devalued its tightly controlled currency, causing its biggest one-day loss in two decades, as the world's second-largest economy continues to sputter. China's move to weaken its currency sparked a wave of yuan selling in the foreign-exchange markets, as investors took the action as a sign that Beijing is turning to a weaker exchange rate to boost a sagging economy.
Greek bailout draft sees economy contracting in 2015. Greece's economy is expected to contract by up to 2.3% in 2015, according to a draft of the country's bailout agreement being compiled by officials in Athens and its lenders, a Greek government official said. Meanwhile, Germany will make a profit from the eurozone debt crisis and saving Greece, even if Athens doesn't pay back its debt, according to a German economic institute.

InfiniBand Inches Closer as End Users Get Involved
By Scott Bekker
The InfiniBand community began its fourth conference Wednesday with a new track for end users.
The switch from the tight focus on developers of InfiniBand technologies in the three previous conferences, to end users in this fourth conference is significant, says Dr. Tom Bradicich, co-founder and co-chairman of the InifiniBand Trade Association.
"We've shifted from the developer-centric focus to the end-user, solutions focus. That's indicative of the maturity of the technology now," Bradicich says of the IBTA's fourth conference.
Bradicich anticipates that the first wave of InfiniBand products -- host bust adapters, interconnect switches, software and silicon -- will hit the market in Q2 of 2002.
The push to InfiniBand would represent a move from the shared bus architecture of current PC and server computing to a fabric approach. Initially, the technology would connect servers with remote storage and networking devices and other servers. It is also expected to be used inside servers for parallel clusters.
Bradicich, who is also IBM eServer director of xSeries server architecture and technology, says the end user track of the conference is focused on quantifying the performance, reliability and scalability benefits of the technology. End users will also get a taste for how the technology will work with specific applications.
Bradicich acknowledges that the majority of the attendees continue to come from the technology developer side. The current conference is expected to draw about 300 attendees, a drop from previous conferences due to economic conditions, Bradicich says.
The trade association's members include Compaq, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Intel, Microsoft and Sun Microsystems.
Scott Bekker is editor in chief of Redmond Channel Partner magazine.

Q: Target API30 while blocking Android 11+ devices on Google Console Is it possible to target API30 while at the same time disallowing access to my app from Android 11+ devices. The Google Console forced an API30 targeting standard on updates and I do not want Android 11+ devices to have access to my app yet.
Thanks.

A: You can use maxSdkVersion.
The element is ignored by the android OS itself but apparently the Google Play Store still uses it to filter devices for apps:

Future versions of Android (beyond Android 2.0.1) will no longer check or enforce the maxSdkVersion attribute during installation or re-validation. Google Play will continue to use the attribute as a filter, however, when presenting users with applications available for download.

Source: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element
You can add it in your app module's build.gradle file:
android {
    compileSdkVersion 30

    defaultConfig {
        ...
        maxSdkVersion 29
        targetSdkVersion 30
        ...
    }
}

Warragamba Dam | Image: WaterNSW
Wollondilly Council makes Submission to Dam Wall Raising Inquiry
Wollondilly Council has made a submission to the NSW Upper House Inquiry into the Proposal to raise the Warragamba Dam Wall, highlighting the cultural significance of Aboriginal sites and European heritage in the Burragorang Valley as well as potential ecological impacts.
The area that would be inundated as a consequence of the proposed raising of the existing Warragamba Dam wall is entirely located within the Wollondilly Local Government Area.
Council has heard from the community about the feared loss of cultural heritage, both Gundungurra and European, the effects on biodiversity and the overall concerns about the impact on the Warragamba community and the management of such a large project.
Council's Manager Environment, Alexandra Stengl said, "We are concerned that our national parks, cultural sites and world heritage areas may be significantly damaged as a result of raising the Warragamba Dam wall".
"We have requested that significantly more time and resources be allocated to Aboriginal and early European heritage surveys as part of the dam raising Environmental Impact Statement".
Council's concerns about the ecological impacts focus on a number of endangered species and ecological communities within the inundation area. The UNESCO World Heritage Committee has raised similar concerns about the extent and frequency of flooding associated with the raising of the dam.
The submission raises the need to consider the effect of the project on the Warragamba community. Council had previously requested that an analysis and planning for the management of impacts on the town during the construction phase be undertaken, including the implications of truck movements on the narrow roads.
Council has requested to appear before the Select Committee that is enquiring into and reporting on the Government's proposal for the dam at a Public Hearing on 20 November.
Wollondilly has joined forces with Blue Mountains Council to campaign on these issues and a Community Forum is planned for 10 November.

Heartfield Exhibition Curator Message From His Grandson John J Heartfield
Please contribute any amount to help the exhibition continue to grow into an Online Museum For Progressive Art.
If you're an artist inspired by John Heartfield's life & work and would like to have your art appear in the exhibition, please Write To The Curator.
The John Heartfield Exhibition
by John J Heartfield, Exhibition Curator
I'm John J Heartfield, the paternal grandson of the German Dada and Modern Political Art Master John Heartfield. The vacations I was able to spend with my grandfather in Europe were some of the happiest memories of my childhood. He was my hero and inspiration. Whenever I need courage, I think of my grandfather.
I'm the director of eCurtain Media LLC. To learn more about my credentials, please visit About The Curator.
After John Heartfield passed away in 1968, his possessions and almost all his surviving art became the property of the Heartfield Archiv, East German Akademie Der Künste (Heartfield Archive, East German Academy of Art). My grandfather's art remains inside the Heartfield Archiv, conserved and hidden away from the outside world as if his montages, sketches, designs, theatrical models, and sets were relics rather than living relevant masterpieces of political, Dada, and theatrical art. My grandfather literally risked his life repeatedly to reach the largest audience to counteract the propaganda lies of fascism, ignorance, bigotry, racism, and hatred.
In 2014, Dr. Walter Trautwein, Direktor des Archivs, Akademie der Künste, categorically refused my request for photographs of my grandfather's art even though I am a representative who controls copyrights to my grandfather's work. If my grandfather knew his art was kept from the public in this manner, he'd tear down the walls to free it. In November 2016, I visited Berlin at the invitation of the new Archivdirektor, Werner Heegevaldt. This time, I was offered only 15 photographs or scans provided I signed a document not to share them on the Internet! I'm currently working on a public and legal campaign to expose and end this injustice.
Major museums such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art (NYC), The Museum Of Modern Art (NYC), and The Getty Museum (Los Angeles), and The Tate Modern, London have always wanted to prominently display John Heartfield's original art. Currently, the only piece of art displayed in MOMA that has anything to do with John Heartfield is George Grosz's The Engineer Heartfield.
To understand more about the years I attempted, without success, to increase my grandfather's recognition and renown, please refer to this expanding section of the Exhibition: John Heartfield – The Hidden Genius
After years of fruitless requests to the John Heartfield Archiv, Akademie Der Künste in Germany, I decided it was necessary to devote the vast majority of my professional life to making John Heartfield's art and life story available to the world via the Internet. I appreciated the many websites that mentioned my grandfather's art. However, no website came even close to displaying even a small portion of his influential artistic legacy. Most didn't touch upon his groundbreaking work with typography, graphic design, and theatrical design.
My grandfather would have loved the World Wide Web. It has been widely documented that John Heartfield's goal was to have his art reproduced and distributed in as many popular mediums as possible.
In 2008, I began designing and programming the original John Heartfield, Dada Photomonteur: Official Internet Archive. It was a labor of love. My wife, Michelle, and I provided all the funding. I had to use all the skills I had acquired during my long career as a professor, programmer, designer, and consultant in digital media.
I decided not to accept funding from outside sources because I wanted to be able to present my grandfather's work in the manner I knew he would have wanted. He taught me that, as much as possible, artistic choices should be made independently.
However, I didn't have the resources to completely display my grandfather's work and the work of other courageous progressive artists. I needed support from exhibition visitors. They let me know they wanted to own posters and other items featuring his art.
In 2015, I opened The John Heartfield Exhibition Shop to provide exhibition visitors with the finest quality items featuring photo quality art. The Shop is just like any other museum shop. Soon it will feature other great artists.
I continue to expand The John Heartfield Exhibition & Archive. In addition to his artwork, I'll share more never-before-published material from The John J Heartfield Collection, my personal collection of John Heartfield ephemera and art.
Many thanks for the invaluable positive feedback the exhibition has received from visitors and art scholars.
I've recently added a new feature. Visitors can write directly to me to share their reactions to pieces of political art. These reactions from visitors will be posted in the Reactions From Exhibition Visitors section.
With the help of visitors and supporters, I'll expand John Heartfield Exhibition to be an Online Museum of Progressive Art, a place to display art by artists with integrity and courage. I've begun by featuring art in Current Exhibits->Reveal Art section of the exhibition.
I know my grandfather would love that vision. He taught me that bigotry and violence grow are the result of ignorance. As you view his art, you'll realize how relevant it remains in today's politics.
Write To The Curator. I'm always happy to hear from you. Please visit often to view this ever-changing exhibition.
The curator wishes to express his appreciation to Rutgers University's Erik Thuno of the Department of Art History for his assistance in providing interns to assist with the Exhibition.
Intern Vasiliki (Vicki) Maragoudakis deserves a special note of appreciation for her dependable, cheerful, and extremely valuable assistance scanning, organizing, and transcribing material.
Intern Samira Paydar was most helpful researching and reporting on material on the web.
The Exhibition is always expanding.
Please join our social networks, such as Facebook and Twitter, for important updates.

Arsenal 3-0 Burnley: The Chilean Assassin
Photo: Reuters
This Arsenal side have been, for several years, desperately short of a strong character to bring a pit fighter's mentality to matches that cannot be decided by flair and elan alone. Call me crazy, but I think we've found our man.
Long after the match, I was saying to friends at the pub that I am utterly convinced that sooner or later, we are going to have someone else - Aaron Ramsey, the returning Theo Walcott, Danny Welbeck, perhaps - catch fire and take some of the burden off of our Chilean hitman. Until that day though, Alexis Sanchez is powering us forward on sheer force of will (and his prodigious, ridiculous talent) alone.
The supporting cast was as you'd expect, Arsene continuing with the Mikel Arteta-Mathieu Flamini central axis and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain again preferred to Lukas Podolski. I for one would have loved to have seen Poldi get a start here, especially as the visitors bunkered effectively in the opening half.
As for us, there was once again no shortage of frustrating, pointless sideways passing - but unlike Sunderland last week there were green shoots of something better peeking their way out of the muck. There were a few instances in the early going where it looked at first glance like Alexis misplaced a pass, but really it was more that the Chilean is just thinking and playing on a different plane than his teammates, and he expected a run that never came. Oxlade-Chamberlain also looked far livelier than last week, and he deftly juked around his marker several times to create crossing opportunities.
While the half may have been frustrating, we should have had the lead in any case after the 21st minute. Arsenal had a corner, and it was swung into the box by Santi Cazorla. George Boyd - who was already on a yellow - clearly made contact with his hand. Somehow, both referee Craig Pawson and his assistant David Bryan both failed to spot it. Bloody typical. Had they done, Boyd would have surely seen red, and we'd have had a 1-0 lead and 70 minutes to add to it against 10 men.
Still, Burnley rode their luck at times to make it to the interval all square. Cazorla volleyed just wide, Sanchez followed up with another near-miss, then was denied by a fantastic stop by Tom Heaton. Unlike the Sunderland game, there were chances from time to time. All Arsenal had to do was to keep them coming, and surely the opposition's will would break eventually.
The halftime break didn't do us any favors though, as it served to disrupt our rhythm. The Clarets responded with their first half-chance through the deeper-lying striker, Danny Ings. Wojciech Szczesny, having had precious little to do previously, did well to keep his focus and hare off his line to force Ings into a wider position that he could do nothing with.
Once Arteta was withdrawn for Ramsey, we took the game by the throat and were continually parked in their half again. Cazorla might have scored just after the hour, but Michael Duff bravely blocked on the goal line with Heaton in no-man's-land.
In retrospect, the goal was always coming.
Appropriately, the man who provided the cross was Calum Chambers. On a day where Alexis will rightly take the plaudits for a world-class all-around performance, the young Englishman had a bit of a stormer himself. There wasn't much to do defensively, but he was aggressive and always looking to take on the defense. Here, he beat his man and curled in a beauty of a cross into the center of the area. The Burnley defense, so resolute for 70 minutes, were bull-rushed into oblivion by Sanchez. Both center-halves were in attendance, but Alexis' desire and strength won out. He split the two and powered a ferocious header past the despairing dive of Heaton.
As soon as that was in, the only question was how many more we'd get. It didn't take long for it to come, either. Two minutes later, another Arsenal corner saw Welbeck brilliantly denied by the blameless Heaton. The ball pinballed around, and just as Tom from O'Hanlon's predicted earlier on in the match one of those finally went our way. Chambers was there to slam home the loose ball, thus adding his first Arsenal goal to his previous assist. Not a bad day for the kid.
Shortly thereafter, Theo Walcott made his return to the Arsenal side. He and Podolski came on for the Ox and Welbeck, but it didn't slow us down one iota. In fact, the German was a beast in his ten-minute cameo, drawing a wonder save out of Heaton on a corner kick, then lashing a thunderbolt against the junction of post and crossbar soon after. There wasn't anything the former Manchester United trainee could do right at the end though, as Sanchez again popped up to turn in a cross from Kieran Gibbs.
That put a deserved sheen on the scoreline, and ultimately should make us all feel a little bit better about the direction of the team as a whole. Sure, we were playing the last-place side at home...and sure, the first half was dicey in spots there. However, the final result is that Arsenal took care of business and managed to break down a determined-but-limited side more than once or twice. Alexis is playing out of his mind, Ramsey and Walcott are coming back from injury, and Chambers has acquitted quickly to the jump up in level.
Yes, we need defensive reinforcements. Yes, it would be nice if we really tonked one of these lesser teams to the tune of 5-0 or 6-0. But, I have to say that I'm in a far better mental place about this team than I was a few short weeks ago. Long may this renaissance continue.
The Modern Gooner Player Ratings:
Szczesny 7, Gibbs 7, Monreal 6, Mertesacker 7, Chambers 9, Arteta 7 (Ramsey 7), Flamini 8, Cazorla 7, Sanchez 10, Oxlade-Chamberlain 8 (Walcott 7), Welbeck 7 (Podolski 7)
Man of the Match: There can be only one - Alexis Sanchez scored twice, diligently tracked back to defend when necessary, and in short was the engine that made us go.

According to new research, half of all parents in the United Kingdom allow their children under 14 to drink alcohol at home, even though the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) has warned against doing so. The study was based on a survey of over 1,000 parents by Churchill Home Insurance.
When children under the age of 14 consume alcohol, says the CMO, health risks increase, including alcohol-related accidents, violent incidents, and attempts at suicide.
The findings showed that 34% of mothers and fathers with kids under 14 used alcohol as an incentive to promote good behavior from their young ones. Eleven percent of parents with youngsters aged five to seven allowed them to drink at home.
Around a third of parents said they let their children drink at home so they can monitor their young ones' drinking. One in five moms and dads allow children who are minors and are not family members to have alcohol in their homes.
Alcohol Concern Chief Executive Joanna Simons explains that while introducing alcohol to children at home is considered by some to be a sound strategy, research finds that the younger kids are when they begin drinking, the likelier they are to have alcohol problems later in life.
Youngsters' attitudes toward alcohol are shaped by the what they see when their parents are drinking. Adults in the household need to be models of moderate drinking habits, and experts say that giving kids an alcohol-free childhood is the best choice.
A social worker from Daventry in Northamptonshire, Heather Witherington, shares that she was offered drinks when she was young, but added that her family is Irish, a culture that makes drinking part of most activities.
Witherington says some members of her family have had trouble with drinking, but she feels that in her case, being allowed to have alcohol was about "managing risks," according to Mario Cacciottolo of BBC News.
But Dr. Martin Scurr, a retired general practitioner, decided that since the brain of a child entering puberty is "critically vulnerable," he began to worry about introducing a chemical that acts on the brain. Parents could disrupt the future functioning and structure of the brain by allowing alcohol into the a child's routine.
Nicola Bartlett writes for the Mirror that one in seven parents reported seeing their young one have an accident while drinking alcohol at home. One in twenty parents said they had witnessed their child sustain a severe injury while consuming alcohol, and 8% stated they have seen their child suffer a minor injury.
UK government statistics show the number of 11 to 15 year-olds who have had an alcoholic beverage has dropped since 2003 and went down to an all-time low of 38% in 2014, according to Holly Christodoulou of The Sun.

Q: Python MemoryError when using long lists not occurring on Linux I've come to work with a rather big simulation code which needs to store up to 189383040 floating point numbers. I know, this is large, but there isn't much that could be done to overcome this, like only looking at a portion of them or processing them one-by-one.
I've written a short script, which reproduces the error so I could quickly test it in different environments:
noSnapshots = 1830
noObjects = 14784

objectsDict={}

for obj in range(0, noObjects):
    objectsDict[obj]=[[],[],[]]
    for snapshot in range(0,noSnapshots):
        objectsDict[obj][0].append([1.232143454,1.232143454,1.232143454])
        objectsDict[obj][1].append([1.232143454,1.232143454,1.232143454])
        objectsDict[obj][2].append(1.232143454)

It represents the structure of the actual code where some parameters (2 lists of length 3 each and 1 float) have to be stored for each of the 14784 objects at 1830 distinct locations. Obviously the numbers would be different each time for a different object, but in my code I just went for some randomly-typed number.
The thing, which I find not very surprising, is that it fails on Windows 7 Enterprise and Home Premium with a MemoryError. Even if I run the code on a machine with 16 GB of RAM it still fails, even though there's still plenty of memory left on the machine. So the first question would be: Why does it happen so? I'd like to think that the more RAM I've got the more things I can store in the memory.
I ran the same code on an Ubuntu 12.04 machine of my colleague (again with 16 GB of RAM) and it finished no-problem. So another thing which I'd like to know is: Is there anything I could do to make Windows happy with this code? I.e. give my Python process more memory on heap and stack?
Finally: Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to store plenty of data in memory in a manner similar to the one in the example code?
EDIT
After the answer I changed the code to:
import numpy

noSnapshots = 1830
noObjects = int(14784*1.3)

objectsDict={}

for obj in range(0, noObjects):
    objectsDict[obj]=[[],[],[]]

    objectsDict[obj][0].append(numpy.random.rand(noSnapshots,3))
    objectsDict[obj][1].append(numpy.random.rand(noSnapshots,3))
    objectsDict[obj][2].append(numpy.random.rand(noSnapshots,1))

and it works despite the larger amount of data, which has to be stored.

A: In Python, every float is an object on the heap, with its own reference count, etc. For storing this many floats, you really ought to use a dense representation of lists of floats, such as numpy's ndarray.
Also, because you are reusing the same float objects, you are not estimating the memory use correctly.  You have lists of references to the same single float object.  In a real case (where the floats are different) your memory use would be much higher.  You really ought to use ndarray.


Evidence was presented in a San Diego military courtroom Tuesday to determine whether a Navy SEAL platoon commander will be tried on charges that he failed to act, when made aware of atrocities allegedly committed by another SEAL during a 2017 deployment in Iraq.
Lt. Jacob Xavier Portier faces seven charges under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, including conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman and dereliction of duty.
Military prosecutors allege Portier knew about the actions of Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher, who is accused of killing of a wounded teenage ISIS combatant in Mosul. In the hours after the killing, Portier conducted a reenlistment ceremony for Gallagher next to the teenager's corpse.
Portier then, according to the prosecution, ordered his platoon to take a group photo next to the dead prisoner.
Prosecutors said that although Portier was not present during the killing, he was made aware of it by other SEALs.
The defense argued that Portier reported Gallagher as soon as the lieutenant found out about the incidents.
Marine Capt. Conor McMahon argued the government's position in front of Navy Cmdr. Phil Hamon, who presided over the hearing at Naval Base San Diego.
"This case is about a Navy lieutenant who didn't possess the moral courage to do the right thing," said McMahon, in his closing comments. "Lt. Portier didn't take out a hunting knife and stab a prisoner in the neck. He didn't get behind a sniper rifle and shoot at a little girl trying to escape from ISIS and he didn't shoot an old man taking water jugs to the river. But he knew about it -- and he did nothing."
Tuesday's hearing -- called an Article 32 hearing -- was not a trial, but a preliminary hearing, similar to what would be held in front of a civilian grand jury. Hamon will make a report to military authorities, who will then determine whether Portier will stand trial.
Navy judge advocates said that decision was expected by early December.
Prosecutors allege that other, unnamed members of the platoon came to Portier throughout the deployment with concerns about Gallagher's conduct in the field, including shooting at least two non-combatant civilians.
After the platoon returned to San Diego, some of its members continued to lobby Portier to hold Gallagher accountable for his actions, prosecutors said.
"It got so bad that by February or March 2018, (the two SEALs) were so frustrated that they went to Lt. Portier and told him if an investigation wasn't launched, they were going directly to NCIS, the Commodore or Fox News," McMahon said. "This is not a case about any minor misconduct by the enlisted sailors in the platoon or any perceived guilt by association. This is about Chief Gallagher killing civilians indiscriminately and the chain of command that did nothing about it."
Prosecutors also allege Portier made false statements when questioned about Gallagher's actions by his commanders.
Attorney Jeremiah Sullivan, who represents Portier, said there are conflicting accounts from members of the platoon, and that instead of reporting the incidents to him, the SEALs actually kept information from Portier. Once he found out, he did report Gallagher to his chain of command. Sullivan is asking for a speedy trial for Portier, saying the prosecutions case was weak.
"It's not going to go well for the government," he said in comments to the hearing officer.
After the hearing, Sullivan told the Union-Tribune that members of the platoon had had meetings in order to "get their stories straight" and that "a war crime was never reported to (Portier)."
Portier was an ROTC cadet at Ohio State University and reported to the Navy's Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL school upon his graduation in March 2010. He has served with San Diego-based SEAL units since then. His awards include the Bronze Star with combat "V" device and the Navy/Marine Corps Commendation Medal.

GEF Secretariat - Front Office
GEF CEO and Chairperson
Carlos Manuel Rodríguez
Lawyer by profession, politician by choice, and conservationist at heart, Carlos Manuel Rodriguez was elected as CEO and Chairperson of the Global Environment Facility by its governing body, the GEF Council, in June 2020.
The Costa Rican Environment and Energy Minister was a pioneer in the development of Payment for Ecosystem Services initiatives and strategies for forest restoration, ocean conservation, and de-carbonization, and is an internationally recognized expert on environmental policy, multilateral environmental negotiations, and financing for nature conservation. During his three terms as Minister of Environment and Energy, Costa Rica doubled the size of its forests, made its electric sector 100 percent clean and renewable, and consolidated a National Park System that has positioned the Central American country as a prime ecotourism destination.
Rodriguez has held various technical and political positions over the past 30 years. In the early 1990s, he worked as Director of Costa Rica's National Parks Service and is also founder and board member of many environmental NGOs and tropical research institutes. Since the 1992 UN Sustainable Development Summit in Rio, he has participated in all multilateral environmental negotiations, as an expert negotiator in UNFCCC, CBD, and UNCCD, and participated in negotiations for the creation and implementation of the GEF and the Green Climate Fund. After his second tenure as Minister, he was Vice-President for Global Policy at Conservation International, for 12 years, working in 30 tropical countries in Central and South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia.

For the farmer's general diet he assigns, in Lent, red herrings, and salt fish, which may remain in store when Lent is past: at Easter, veal and bacon at Martinmas, salted beef, when dainties are not to be had in the country: at Midsummer, when mackerel are no longer in season, grasse, or sallads, fresh beef, and pease: at Michaelmas, fresh herrings, with fatted crones, or sheep: at All Saints, pork and pease, sprats and spurlings: at Christmas, good cheere and plaie. The farmer's weekly fish-days, are Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday; and he is charged to be careful in keeping embrings and fast-days".
Among the Husbandlie Furniture are recited most of the instruments now in use, yet with several obsolete and unintelligible names of farming utensils. Horses, I know not from what superstition, are to be annually blooded on Saint Stephen's day". Among the Christmas husbandlie fare*, our author recommends good drinke, a good fire in the Hall, brawne, pudding and souse, and mustard withall, beef, mutton, and pork, shred, or minced, pies of the best, pig, veal, goose, capon, and turkey, cheese, apples, and nuts, with jolie carols. A Christmas carol is then introduced to the tune of King Salomon".
In a comparison between Champion and Severall, that is, open and inclosed land, the disputes about inclosures appear to have been as violent as at present". Among his Huswifelie Admonitions, which are not particularly addressed to the farmer, he advises three dishes at dinner, which being well dressed, will be sufficient to please your friend, and will become your Hall. The prudent housewife is directed to make her own tallow-candles. Servants of both sexes are ordered to go to bed at ten in the summer, and nine in the winter; to rise at five in the winter, and four in the summerd. The ploughman's feasting

He throws his precepts into a calendar, and gives many good rules in general, both in relation to agriculture and œconomy; and had he not written in miserable hobbling and obscure verse, might have rendered more service to his countrymen.-Mem. for Hist. of Husbandry in Coxe's Life of Stillingfleet, ii. 567.-PARK.]

SHROF-Tide, or SHROVE-TUESDAY, in Essex and Suffolk, when after shroving, or confession, he is permitted to go thresh the fat hen, and "if blindfold [you] can kill her, then giue it thy men," and to dine on fritters and pancakes. SHEEP-SHEARING, which is celebrated in Northamptonshire with wafers and cakes. The WAKE-DAY, or the vigil of the church saint, when everie wanton maie danse at her will, as in Leicestershire, and the oven is to be filled with flawnes.

I have before mentioned ShroveTuesday as a day dedicated to festivities. See supr. vol. ii. p. 530. note 9. In some parts of Germany it was usual to celebrate Shrove-tide with bonfires.

Polydore Virgil says, that so early as the year 1170, it was the custom of the English nation to celebrate their Christmas with plays, masques, and the most magnificent spectacles; together with games at dice, and dancing. This practice, he adds, was not conformable to the usage of most other nations, who permitted these diversions, not at Christmas, but a few days before Lent, about the time of Shrovetide. Hist. Angl. lib. xiii. f. 211. Basil. 1534. By the way, Polydore Virgil observes, that the Christmas-prince or Lord of Misrule, is almost peculiar to the English. De Rer. Inventor. lib. v. cap. ii. Shrove-Tuesday seems to have been sometimes considered as the last day of Christmas, and on that account might be celebrated as a festival. In the year 1440, on Shrove-Tuesday, which that year was in March, at Norwich there was a Disport in the streets, when one rode through the streets havyng his hors trappyd with tyn-soyle, and other nyse disgysyngs, coronned as Kyng of Crestemasse, in tokyn that seson should end with the twelve moneths of the yere:

the latter part of the sixteenth century. In this work are large enumerations of plants, as well for the medical as the culinary garden.
Our author's general precepts have often an expressive brevity, and are sometimes pointed with an epigrammatic turn and a smartness of allusion. As thus,
Saue wing for a thresher, when gander doth die;
Saue fethers of all things, the softer to lie:
Much spice is a theefe, so is candle and fire;
Sweet sause is as craftie as euer was frier.1
Again, under the lessons of the housewife,
Though cat, a good mouser, doth dwell in a house,
Yet euer in dairie haue trap for a mouse:
Take heed how thou laiest the banek for the rats,
For poisoning thy servant, thyself, and thy brats.1
And in the following rule of the smaller economics,
Saue droppings and skimmings, however ye doo,
For medcine, for cattell, for cart, and for shoo.m
In these stanzas on haymaking, he rises above his common manner.
Go muster thy seruants, be captain thyselfe,
Prouiding them weapons, and other like pelfe:
Get bottells and wallets, keepe fielde in the heat,
The feare is as much as the danger is great.
With tossing, and raking, and setting on cox,
Grasse latelie in swathes, is haie for an oxe.
That done, go to cart it, and haue it awaie:
The battell is fought, ye haue gotten the daie."
A great variety of verse is used in this poem, which is thrown into numerous detached chapters. The HUSBANDRIE is divided into the

Such were the rude beginnings in the English language of didactic poetry, which, on a kindred subject, the present age has seen brought to perfection, by the happy combination of judicious precepts with the most elegant ornaments of language and imagery, in Mr. Mason's ENGLISH GARDEN.

AMONG Antony Wood's manuscripts in the Bodleian library at Oxford, I find a poem of considerable length written by William Forrest, chaplain to queen Mary". It is entitled, "A true and most notable History of a right noble and famous Lady produced in Spayne entitled the second GRESIELD, practised not long out of this time in much part tragedous as delectable both to hearers and readers." This is a panegyrical history in octave rhyme, of the life of queen Catharine, the first queen of king Henry the Eighth. The poet compares Catharine to patient Grisild, celebrated by Petrarch and Chaucer, and Henry to
[Barnaby Googe, in his preface to the translation of Herebach's four books of Husbandrie, 1578, sets Fitzherbert and Tusser on a level with Varro and Columella and Palladius: but the sedate Stillingfleet would rather compare Tusser to old Hesiod, from the following considerations. They both wrote in the infancy of husbandry in their different countries: both gave good general precepts without entering into the detail, though Tusser has more of it than Hesiod: they both seem desirous to improve the morals of their readers as well as their farms, by recommending industry and economy: and, that which perhaps may be looked upon as the greatest resemblance, they both wrote in verse; probably for the same reason, namely, to propagate their doctrines more effectually. But here the resemblance ends: the Greek was a very
earl Walter her husband. Catharine had certainly the patience and conjugal compliance of Grisild; but Henry's cruelty was not, like Walter's, only artificial and assumed. It is dedicated to queen Mary*: and Wood's manuscript, which was once very superbly bound and embossed, and is elegantly written on vellum, evidently appears to have been the book presented by the author to her majesty. Much of its ancient finery is tarnished; but on the brass bosses at each corner is still discernible AVE MARIA GRATIA PLENA. At the end is this colophon: "Here endeth the Historye of Grysilde the second, dulie meanyng Queene Catharine mother to our most dread soveraigne Lady queene Mary, fynysched the xxv day of June, the yeare of owre Lorde 1558. By the symple and unlearned Syr Wylliam Forrest preeiste, propria manu." The poem, which consists of twenty chapters, contains a zealous condemnation of Henry's divorce; and, I believe, preserves some anecdotes, yet apparently misrepresented by the writer's religious and political bigotry, not extant in any of our printed histories. Forrest was a student at Oxford, at the time when this notable and knotty point of casuistry prostituted the learning of all the universities of Europe, to the gratification of the capricious amours of a libidinous and implacable tyrant. He has recorded many particulars and local incidents of what passed in Oxford during that transaction. At the end of the poem is a metrical ORATION CONSOLATORY, in six leaves, to queen Mary.
In the British Museum is another of Forrest's poems, written in two splendid folio volumes on vellum, called "The tragedious troubles of the most chast and innocent Joseph, son to the holy patriarch Jacob," and dedicated to Thomas Howard duke of Norfolk 4. In the same repository is another of his pieces, never printed, dedicated to king Edward the Sixth, "A notable warke called The PLEASANT POESIE OF PRINCELIE PRACTISE, composed of late by the simple and unlearned sir Wil
The affecting story of Patient Grisild seems to have long kept up its celebrity. In the books of the Stationers, in 1565, Owen Rogers has a licence to print" a ballat intituled the songe of pacyent Gressell vnto hyr make." Registr. A. fol. 132 b. Two ballads are entered in 1565,"to the tune of pacyente Gressell." Ibid. fol. 135 a. In the same year T. Colwell has licence to print " The History of meke and pacyent Gresell." Ibid. fol. 139 a. Colwell has a second edition of this history in 1568. Ibid. fol. 177 a. Instances occur much lower.
[In poetic compliment to his royal patroness, Forrest wrote and printed "A new ballade of the Mari-golde." This is preserved in the archives of the Society of Antiquaries, and has been reprinted in the Harl. Miscell. Suppl. vol. ii.-PARK.]
In the first chapter, he thus speaks of
the towardliness of the princess Catharine's younger years:
With stoole and needyl she was not to
seeke,
And other practiseingis for ladyes meete;
To pastyme at tables, ticktacke, or gleeke,
Cardys, dyce, &c.
He adds, that she was a pure virgin when married to the king; and that her first husband prince Arthur, on account of his tender years, never slept with her.

Those who own their own homes might understand that they are responsible for the care and the maintenance of these homes. One must also make sure that the home is safe to live in, and that there is nothing in it that might put his or her health at risk. One might know that before he or she can eliminate health risks, it is first important to know what they are, so that the best solution for their elimination can be found and used. Here, then, is a list of some very dangerous, and unfortunately very common, healthy risks that all homeowners should be on the lookout for, health risks that one should do everything to eliminate.
Something else that every homeowner should look out for is toxic black mold, which can grow in low areas and basements which are constantly damp and are not cleaned very often. You might know that toxic black mold can hurt your family in a serious way, and that it is common in areas which are damp and wet, especially after a flooding. One should be sure, then, that he or she finds a way to get rid of this mold, so that the family will be able to enjoy greater health and safety as time goes on.
If you want to be sure that you are doing your duty as a good homeowner, then, it is a good idea for you to look out for these three dangers, and to have them eliminated in the best way that you can.
