We urgently need big companies tax cuts in Austria to ensure millenium growth again

The tragedy of ATX


ATX is now currently 75% at the level of 2007 peek, before financial crisis 2008 (Lehman brothers bankruptcy and subprime mortage crisis).


After the Golden Millennium 2000 until 2007 there was streight growth,
were all big companies had full order books and were hired a lot!

Since of that growth after the golden millennium in Austria, many of my friends, acquaintances or ex-colleagues had good jobs at industry sector.
Later they were sometimes labeled as too unqualified, while they had a lot of working expirience in tech sector at big tech companies.

I can explain, why they were getting so easy jobs at the era of golden millennium:

All tech companies in Austria growed a lot during this era, had a full order situation and a lot of different projects for many different customers in queue,

Many experts within the tech companies were overworked and came no longer came to work on the projects and issues, where their expert know-how was absolutely necessary and also brought the necessary innovation and added share holder value.

So the tech companies hired people to do the less productive, but currently constantly needed business and administrative work, often the exchanges with smaller partners or customers.

After the financial crisis in 2008, almost all large Austrian stock market companies never came up at the level of golden millenium era again. They had only a few new orders and no more the budget for bigger innovations without great US or Chinese tech partners oversea. Their cash flow came from old contracts and day-to-day business.

There was never again such a good growth phase as during the times of the golden millennium and the companies were only looking for highly qualified experts on an individual basis, but did not have to hire anyone due to too many orders and constant growth.

Misunderstandings arose because many people now noticed mistakes made by some of my friends and me, that I was never actually at the level of a top MIT or university of Berkeley california graduate or as good as tom@ibm.com or mike@google.com former at rainbow.

When I look at the case studies from the operating system exercise from 1995 and compare my work with that of Tom and Mike, it was clear for me and everyone else, that I (and many other people don't get at the unix OS Olymp) but at least I created some ghosts on walls. I don't envy Tom & Mike their talent or their hard work, but to say after 2 crises and 1 divorce, that I now have to reach Tom or Mike's level is very ridiculous of some people.

At least, improving advanced encryption standard with simple matrices and my currently project as one man company were very fine for the moment, and nobody needs everywhere the greatest top MIT experts for some less sophisticated implementations.

The tradegy is, that some good friend extra upskilled them selfs very well, with a US university Master degree and so on, but still don't have a permanent job and work only as projects freelancers from job to job!

Countermeasures against further stagnation

From 2000 to 2007, Wolfgang Schüssel's first and second governments introduced a number of measures that made it easier for Austrian companies to perform better business:

  1. Losses made by subsidiaries and foreign investments by companies could be fully written off from tax.
  2. The restructuring of the pension system and the investment of pensions in stocks promoted the boom of the stock market.
  3. Several myths existed, Karl Heinz Grasser was able to persuade a Swiss and an American major investor to invest heavily in the ATX. (look at the Target-2 balances, after July 2007, then you might see, what kind of foreign investors and what kind of Austrian investors never catched a falling knife after Lehmann Bro's and subprime marekt crisis trouble.=> Think, when it's about financial debts obligations, who would sell ATX real companies stocks? Banks, to get more liquidity? Find it out!)
We need such countermeasurements yet again (big fat tax cuts for companies) and better up-qualification program for less qualified co-workers. 

Companies must receive a training voucher for their employees and taxes on labor and non-wage labor costs, as well as taxes on energy for industry, must be drastically reduced.

We need more big fat tax cuts for companies that employ many people.
My small company does not pay that much taxes, but tax cuts for one man / one woman companies don't make really so much sense; tax relief for corporations is urgently needed.

In an era of growth, people get easier into jobs and usually stay there

When I look at Alibaba, I can see, that a lot of chinese women in Hongkong and some new comer chinese manufactorers got easy into business. They are not yet fully professional in all aspects of their business, but with the necessary growth and sufficient constant demand, small initial mistakes don't hardly matter and they are becoming more and more professional.

History not in forms of dominion, rather in technical innovations, economic groth and then resulting social achievements

Un petit tour d'horizon

High to late middle Ages: Stadtluft macht frei

It was customary law that a city resident was free after one year and one day. After this he could no longer be reclaimed by his employer and thus became bound to the city.
Serfs became craftsmen and members of a guild, association or union by moving to the city.
After working as a craftsman within a city for only one year, their status changed to free citizen, which was a great economic and social advancement. This was not possible for all, but for many, caused by economic and technological change.

Modern era begins with gunpowder, book printing 
and the discovery of America

Modern era begins with gunpowder, (a kind of blue print) book printing, the discovery of America, Martin Luther's 95 theses claimed at Wittenberg and the beginning of a mercantilist colonialist economic theory in some parts of Europe. (I'll go into this in detail later below.)

Gunpowder

At the end of middle ages, the very cultural and sophisticated Byzantine Empire ended with fall of Constantinople and the rise of the Ottoman Empire began.
Many see the weakening of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire beginning with the Crusades, but instead of theorizing about the decline of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire with many theses,
I claim:

Cannons and Gunpowder and canons, like the Dardanelles Gun and an ancient ottoman Motor were responsible for the fall of Byzantine Empire.

Printing Press

The ability to produce many editions of a book in a much shorter period of time contributes to a dissemination of the book that in the Middle Ages was reserved only for monks and scholars. =>
An expansion of bourgeois knowledge is the result.

[...] will be added later.

Industrial revolution

Industrial production provided people with better, cheaper and higher quality goods, but it also had other effects in Europe:

  1. Expansion of the road and railway network, increasing people’s mobility.

  2. Industry gave birth to its son, the social democrat.
    It was only through the industrial revolution that social democracy was able to emerge. As industrial workers showed solidarity, fraternized and formed unions, workers' sports clubs and adult education centers (knowledge is power), a strong, emancipated social democracy was able to emerge.

Henry Ford wellfare capitalism

Through the rising of industrial capitalism, new ideas as Henry Ford's wellfare capitalism were born.

AT&T (American Telephone and Telegraph)

AT&T (American Telephone and Telegraph) is another example of the resounding success of the Industrial Revolution. AT&T brought later out unique innovations such as Unix System V5 , which paved the way for later innovations such as the free GNU Linux or tech giants companies, such as Google or Amazon.

The 2 worsest daemons in history of ideas followed then:

Communism and National Socialism arose from fear of change brought about by the Industrial Revolution and their methods are nothing but fear, totalitarian domin, brutal terror, horror and worsest nightmares.

Karl Marx, a burgois, who envied the rise of industry and his catastrophic work: "Capital".

Written in fear of change, the intension was to tame industrial capitalism and prevent the uncontrolled rise of the workers.
I count this as the 2nd greatest demon in human history.
It is almost impossible, that a totalitarian system emerges on the basis of a single book, full of mistakes and a single manifest, where nobody else sees it like that.
In contrast to social democracy, which naturally growed bottom up by expanding workers rights and emancipation, communism uses totalitarian non-democratic methods, as:
https://area23-at.blogspot.com/2023/10/case-study-of-apparently-sowjet-ussr.html#tanks

Adolf H., mein Kampf

The worsest demon in human history, National Socialism, also arose from only one book (where nobody else, saw it like that before). The book of a crazy fine art painter who was awarded the Iron Cross in World War I. evolved the greatest demon and reign of terror in human history and it arose from fear of the May marches of the Social Democrats and a paranoia about Freemasons and Jews.

Western hegemony after 1945: Charter of the United Nations

[TODO: still some parts to write...]

Rise of oil-rich Arab Gulf states

The rise of oil-rich states, such as the Arab Gulf states, began with the need for fossil raw materials in industry.
Industry not only needs labor for production, energy requirements and energy costs are factors in industrial production and Marx never understood that.

1990: Dissolution of the Soviet Union & rise of global Internet

The technological advances brought about by the liberalization of the Internet and the spread of capitalism worldwide have brought previously poorer countries such as China, India and other emerging countries a tremendous development advancement by taking over shares of the global value creation.

Fuzzy Logic: in memoriam Siegfried Gottwald † 20.9.2015

Siegfried Johannes Gottwald (* 30. 3. 1943 in Limbach; † 20. 9. 2015) war ein deutscher Mathematiker, Logiker und Wissenschaftshistoriker. Sein Hauptforschungsgebiet war Fuzzy Logic
https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Siegfried-Gottwald

Mein langjähriger Freund Bob (Robert Antonius Berezka) sah Anfang der 1990er in diesem Gebiet sehr großes Entwicklungspotential, das aber leider nicht genutzt wurde. (1) 


Potential für Fuzzy Logik ∃ in binärer Logik + Mengentheorie.



Binäre Fuzzy Logik

Trigger für Einschalten von Erneuerbaren Energie Mini- / Hobby- Kraftwerken, erst ab gewisser naturgegebener Eingangsleistung.


Windrad Hobby-/ Mini-Kraftwerk

  • Windgeschwindigkeit <  4m/s 
    bitte keine Windenergie speichern oder einspeisen
  • Windgeschwindigkeit > 150m/s
    Orkan; Windrad auf Durchlauf, keine Stromgewinnung über zu hohem Grenzwert


Solaranlage Hobby-/ Mini-Kraftwerk

  • Sonnenstunden / Tag < ¾ Sonnenstunde im Winter
    wir belasten unseren Wechselrichter besser nicht unnötig,
    denn  bei schwacher Eingangsleistung für < ¾h, wird kaum Wechselstrom Energie in einer relevanten Menge erzeugt werden können.

Fuzzy für unscharfe Mengen

Verwendung von unscharfer Mengen schien dort vielversprechend, wo wir heute in der Statisik disjunkte Mengen und eindeutige Werte Preferenzen verwenden.

Erfassung Erwerbsarbeit

Jemand wie ich war in den letzten 3 Jahren,
  1. sowohl angestellt erwerbstätig,
  2. als auch selbstständig erwerbstätig, davon
    a. als echter Kleinunternehmer mit soliden Auftragsarbeiten für KMU's
    b. prekär als Kleinstunternehmer (eher mehr NGO community based project)/li>
  3. beim AMS arbeitslos gemeldet.
Ich bin sicher nicht der einzige, der in der Erwerbsarbeitsstatistik nicht eindeutig zuordenbar ist und hier liefert die bisherige Statistik kein passendes Bild über die Erwerbsrealität von Menschen.
Es gibt heute bereits mehr Menschen als früher, die weder als Dauerarbeitslose noch als fast durchgehend beschäftigt zuordenbar sind.

Wahlumfragen:

ÖVP  24%(scharf)  22%-30%(fuzzy)
SPÖ  20%(scharf)  18%-24%(fuzzy)
FPÖ  25%(scharf)  23%-30%(fuzzy)
Grüne  12%(scharf)   8%-15%(fuzzy)
Neos  10%(scharf)   9%-12%(fuzzy)
KPÖ    3%(scharf)   1%- 6%(fuzzy)
Bier    5%(scharf)   4%- 8%(fuzzy)


Normalerweise hat Bob oft den richtigen Riecher bezüglich langfristig technischer Trends,
wie z.B.  C/C++ wird noch lange weiter bestehen  C bleibt primäre Sprache zur Hardware und Betriebssystem nahen Programmierung
Bei Win3.11 mit sauberen Win32 API (statt Win16 und Dos16) beginnt die Zukunft. Es stimmt, Dos16 und Win16 sind inzwischen wirklich Geschichte, aber Win32 API (seit 1993) bleibt weiter bestehen.
Intel, AMD x86, x64 Architektur wird sich gegenüber Sun Sparc, MIPS, Motorola 680x0  auch  PowerPC PPC/MPC60xDEC Alpha und anderen durchsetzen (es stimmte, sogar Apple verwendete irgendwann Intel für seine MacBooks)
if there is no huge sophisticated optimization in gcc or cross compile support in Micro$oft Visual Studio for a certain processor architecture => forget this architecture. When it become not so performant for all GNU or QT stuff, then think about, how effective will be the Java Runtime / SDK, .Net Runtime / SDK, how effective the build for script languages like perl, php, python, tcl.
I only believe in Intel, AMD, Arm, Micro$oft, Apple and the man with the Red Hat.
all other commerical Unix based systems (OS/2, AIX, HPUX, Solaris, Irix) were quiet good, but  all specialized file systems like XFS, ZFS, brtfs are ported to Linux, forget processor architecture, if no sophisticated optimization in gcc.

Changing frozen OGZDL.L stocks against Moscow GAZP.ME stocks

Speaking of Gazprom, I have two questions for the specialists:

  1. According to Yahoo Finances, the GAZP.ME stock has been trading on the Moscow Stock Exchange (.ME) for some time.

    https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/GAZP.ME/?fr=sycsrp_catchall

    According to my information, all derivatives on the OGZDL.L shares on the London Stock Exchange were frozen on March 1, 2022, shortly before the crash.

    https://www.etoro.com/markets/ogzdl.l/chart/

  2. Do you know how this happened under what kind of conditions?

  3. Do you know what exchange conditions the holders of OGZDL.L shares had against GAZP.ME shares quoted in rubles?
    (Rate 198 rubles = €2.01)
    or was this no longer possible for Western owners because there were already sanctions against Russia and all capital was frozen?

  4. According to the German European company register, the well-equipped Austria subsidiary GAZPROM NEFT TRADING GmbH has now moved to a more upscale address on the 1st floor |
    GmbH but is completely invisible in many company registers here in Austria.
    Do you know more here?

  5. I cannot see shares of the Saudi oil company Saudi Aramco traded in  الظهران in SAR from my provider only derivatives and bonds?
    Are stocks of Saudi Aramco generally not tradable, or where can you trade them?

Making symmetric cipher encryption strong again [updated]

When students in the 2nd semester in year 1992 type on the laptop during the lecture or start talking, Professor Gerd Baron always repeated very loudly that's what's all about:

We have a universe here and 
it's all about of the number of arrangements in a finite set.

Professor Gerd Baron of Mathematics modified math lecture for computer scientists, where he claimed graph theory and combinatorics and weighted models (for traveling salesmen or ip routing) to understand better things we will need later (like equal costs => multipath).

plain text ⟶ 3DES PBox → AES → 2blowfish ⟶ cipher text
cipher text ⟶ 2blowfish → AES → 3DES SBox ⟶ plain text

plain text ⟶ AES ⟶ 2blowfish ⟶ 3DES PBox (scrambled) ⟶ cipher text
cipher text ⟶ 3DES  SBox(scrambled) → 2blowfish → AES ⟶ plain text

you also can remix it per good random numbers like
3DES = 0x1
AES = 0x2
2Fish = 0x4
Serpent = 0x8

So 0xBC for encryption would mean 0xCB for decryption
plain ⟶ (3DES→AES→Serpent) ⟶ (2Fish→Serpent) ⟶ encrypted
encrypted ⟶ (Serpent→2Fish) ⟶ (Serpent→AES→3DES) ⟶ plain 

with 2 bytes strong keys (negoatiated randomized at handshake) you're quiet secure.

A simple matrix encryption algorithm by myself:

I found a simple matrix symmetric encryption algorithm, that works similiar to 3DES,
with NxN Matrix trans, after asking that question here on  math.stackexchange.com/questions/4915786/ 

R3 ➝ R3: v(3) x M(3,3) = v(3)

⎡ 1 ⎤    ⎡ 0 1 0 ⎤    ⎡ 2 ⎤ 
⎢ 2 ⎥ x  ⎢ 0 0 1 ⎥ =  ⎢ 3 ⎥  
⎣ 3 ⎦    ⎣ 1 0 0 ⎦    ⎣ 1 ⎦ 
The inverse matrix for reverse symmetric encryption would be:
⎡ 2 ⎤    ⎡ 0 0 1 ⎤    ⎡ 1 ⎤ 
⎢ 3 ⎥ x  ⎢ 1 0 0 ⎥ =  ⎢ 2 ⎥  
⎣ 1 ⎦    ⎣ 0 1 0 ⎦    ⎣ 3 ⎦ 
ZenMatrix symetric chiffre encryption

More symmetric cipher algos are now availible!

Area23.At.Mono already contained:
3DES, 2FISH, 3FISH, AES, Rijndael (same as AES), Serpent and new ZenMatrix.

The following symmetric cipher encryption / decryption algorirhms have now been added:
Camellia, Cast[56]Gost28147, Idea, RC[26], RC532, Seed, Skipjack, Tea, Tnepres, XTea.

Why I'm publishing this article?

Unfortunately, since I catched a schizoaffective disorder 2007, I have sometimes the tendency to talk loudly and am often paranoid about being wiretapped.
Existing even bigger companies, were I was employed, (I told them about my problem since 2007) meaned, that I didn't break the compliance in that case, because I can assume that we have not the GDR with Stasi here and loudly repeating fraud detection rules at home isn't a crime. Once I feeled very painful and a spoke out loudly my idea of better AES. To avoid, that only some people could get it, I wrote a simple prototype and then sended this article to old friends, who work at US companies.

How to enable ipv6 (inet6) in AWS EC2 VPCs, Subnets, Network interfaces and instances

This is a very quick and walk through documentation, how to enable ipv6 addresses and ipv6 networking in AWS (Amazon Web Services) E2C instances.

Ensure that virtual hardware is enabled for ipv6

In this section, we check if VPC, Subnets, Routing Tables and Network Interfaces are ready for ipv6.
It's a walkthroigh in form of (examine, check, enable ipv6 <= if not already enabled).

Die Scheidung - eine oft problematische Entscheidung mit einem Rattenschwanz an Folgen

Leider lassen sich zu oft viele Ehepaare scheiden. Meistens dort, wo Nachwuchs Kinder vorhanden sind.

Die Scheidung ist meist nicht nur ein ökonomisches Deasaster, sondern viel mehr auch immer öfters geht eine psychsiche Krise und genereller Vertrauensverlust mit dieser Entscheidung einher.


Finanzielle Probleme bei der Scheidung

Lebte zuerst eine Familie gemeinsam in einer Wohnung oder einem Haus, dann sind auf alle Fälle 2 Wohnsitze, 2 Autos, sämtliche Versicherungen doppelt zu zahlen. Rasch vom Zaun gebrochene Scheidungen bewirken meist, dass der aus dem gemeinsamen Haushalt ausziehend Partner nicht genügend Zeit hat um das günstigste und best zutreffende Wohnungsangebot einzuholen, aber meist der Ausziehende am störksten psychisch belastet wirkt und in dieser Sitiation oft schlechte Entscheidungen bei der Wahl der neuen Bleibe trifft (und vielleicht aufgrund der spontan geänderten Lebenssituation nicht einmal genau weiß, wie sein zukünftiges Leben nun verlaufen wurd.)
Auch Auszahlungen und der Verkauf bei gemeinsamen Eigentum stellen hier in diesem Falle ein sehr hohes Risiko dar. Auch Grundbuchänderungsgebühren müssen gezahlt werden.
Viele Dinge, die sonst vertraglich oder mündlich sehr klar geregelt wurden, werden im Fall der Scheidung durch Annahmen und Erwartungen verzerrt und es entsteht zunehmende (Rechts-)unsicherheit.

Vertrauensverlust nach der Scheidung

Normalerweise ist der (Ehe-)Partner die Hauptvertrauensperson.Man beredet Sorgen, geht berufliche Entscheidungen durch, findet bei Problemen auch mit Dritten im Dialog mit dem Partner die besseren durchdachteren Lösungen.
Nach Scheidungen ist in den meisten Fällen, die ich kenne (auch meinem eigenen), die Gesprächsbasis, das Vertrauen, Einsicht, Umsicht, Empathie für das Gegenüber und der Wille zur weiteren Kommunikation weg. Ansatt eines guten Freundes und Vertrauten / bester Freundin und Vertrauten hat man/Frau es plötzlich mit einen teilweise feindseeligen Widersacher mit unklaren oder sogar möglicherweisen böswilligen Absichten zu tun. Dies hat teilweise weitere Gerichtsstreitigkeiten zur Folge, die man/Frau teils psychisch weiter belasten. Auch in neuen Firmen wirkt es nicht gerade vorteilhaft, wenn jeman im Probemonat 2-3 Gerichtstermine wahrnimmt und sowas erschwert möglicherweise auch Vorankommen  / Wiedereinstieg in den Beruf.

Alimentäre Verpflichtungen im Fall der Erwerbslosigkeit

Leider egal ob es sich dabei um vormals tüchtige disziplinierte sehr arbeitsaffine Berufstätige oder um Lebenskünstler handelte, fast jeder geschiedene  Unterhalt- und alimentpflichtige Vater, aber auch so 1-2 alimentpflichtige Mütter mit Ex-Hausmännern, (die ich kenne) kamen irgendwann in die Situation von Erwerbslosigkeit und nahmen in Folge die Versicherungsleistung des Arbeitsmarktservice in Anspruch.
Leider konnten viele während des Bezug von Arbeitslosengeld Alimente und eigene Lebenskosten nicht mehr zur Gänze bezahlen.
Da die Nichtzahlung von Miete, KFZ-Versicherung, Strom & Gas oder Kreditrückzahlunegn meistens sofort drastische Konsequenzen mit sich ziehen, entschieden  sich fast alle in Folge bei Kindesunterhalt und Alimentzahlungen ihren Verpflichtungen NICHT nachzukommen.
Meistens - so wie es Gott will, erbarmten sich die bereits pensionierten Eltern des Betreffenden / der Betreffenden Unterhalt oder Zuschüsse für ihr Enkelkind zu leisten.
So gut wie nur noch die älteren Pensionisten sparen und mit ihren noch stattlichen Altpensionen solche Zahlungen unbeschwert verantwortungsvoll tätigen, so wenig sind die Ex-Partner in Folge vor den möglichen Konsequenzen gefeit.
Es gab Ex-Partnerinnen / Ex-Partner, die sich in dem Fall von falschen Freunden aufstacheln ließen und Regress- und Abmahnforderunegn trotz Unterstützung durch die Eltern des Ex-Partners. Egal, ob es zu einer gerichtlichen Exekution kam oder diese nur einmal prinzipiell angedeutet oder (Absicht) vorbereitet wurde, das Vertrauen beider Sippen brach dann endgültig, da keinerlei Rechtssicherheit in diesem Fall für irgendwen garantiert werden kann.
Gab es bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch Kontakt seitens einer Familienseite zum Kind / zu den Kindern, wurde dieser in Folge diese Cirus Maximus dann meist endgültig beeendet und es blieb herbe Enttäuschung, große Härme, für immer verspieltes Vertrauen und auch oft vollkommene unüberbrückbare Distanz für die Ewigkeit über.

Was ich mit diesem Artikel sagen will?

Bitte bedenkt all diese Probleme und versucht, wenn sich die Scheidung nicht vermeiden lässt, zumindest eine sachliche konstruktive lösungsorienteierte Kommunikationsbasis zu behalten / wieder zu erabeiten. Es vermeidet mißtauen, Unsicheheit, aus der Unsicherheit entstehende falsche Entscheidungen, Grüblereien und negative Emotionen.  

Epolog Fazit:

Bisher schenkte ich jedem Kind in meinem großen Bekanntenkreis, welches gerade von Alimenteausfall akut bedroht war und von den Großeltern des Ex-Partner auch noch eine kleine Unterstützung bekam, eine kleine silberne oder goldene kleine Münze. Diese Münzgabe verhinderte meist einige Zeit lang noch die vollkommene Entfremdung zum ausgezogenen / verbannten Elternteil, dauerhaft konnte aber diese kleine Münze auch keine großen Wunder berwirken!
