Y es de verdad, pero no sé que pasa
por la república sudafricana
Nelson Mandela, está entre rejas
y han concedido un Premio Nobel de la paz
A Desmond Tutu.
Y hablan de represión, contra mineros,
contra obreros y estudiantes negros, y es de verdad
la resistencia está entre rejas
Y han concedido un Premio Noble de la paz: (Ja, Ja)
A Desmond Tutu.

The Hello Machine
When I worked in telecommunications (late 2000’s) Electronic Switching Systems had been pretty much taken over by software switching systems, but the proprietary hardware, closely coupled to the software, was still very much an important component.
While the call switching and routing was no longer achieved by thousands and thousands of hardware relays switching dedicated connections between each “phone line”, the hardware operated the same. The installation process was pretty much the same as in this video, recorded in 1974.
The thousands and thousands of interconnecting cables connecting each hardware module were still needed. The teams of men (99% of my colleagues were men) were still needed to “dress” the cables. This jobhad been outsourced to “installation” companies who employed teams of men – usually a foreman (“gaffer”) and his team of often young fellas – would travel to each datacentre, stay for 5-6 days and carry out the installation of the hardware, the cables.
It was then the job of the “commissioning” engineer to manually check all the hardware and cables were correctly connected and seated. This was a laborious and tedious job which took days.
Then came the software commissioning – configuring the software manually building-up line-by-line of the logical connections.
Once this was done, then loading the system configuration for the particular client network.
Pretty much everything done in this video was still being done 30+ years later.
Today the hardware is commercial-off-the-shelf computing servers like IBM Bladeservers. They’re essentially no different to a high-capacity webserver, mailserver, or router.
Instead of requiring separate teams of people for the installation, commissioning it’s now reduced to 1, maybe 2 people.

Buy their music, and t-shirts, and stickers and tea-towels.
And when you’re finished that, listen to some Caleb Klauder and his country band music.

[Intro]
Rap music? China?
What are they even saying?
Is this Chinese rap music? (Boy)
Sounds like they’re just saying ‘ching chang chong’
[Chorus]
My chains, new gold watch, made in China
We play ping pong ball, made in China

钢笔画了一朵莲花 cookin’需要放点盐巴
相框里面框住全家 全部made in China
全身上下总有中国货
亚利桑那也有中文课
Chinese入侵 local口音
野火燎原淋上酒精
[Verse 2]

抬头和观众say hello 戴起拳套的我不会退后
训练让我掌握节奏 几分钟内裁判宣布K.O
Tell me I’m good 音乐节舞台的正对面
Made in China 寓言般的歌词都兑现
大晴天醒来我充满了力量和高傲的斗志走进录音棚
肩膀上扛下的责任就像国家队赢得尊重用跳水游泳
现实让我不断吸取教训才会不断出现重复做过的梦
跨越了障碍那是我的工作别再抱怨起跑线有所不同
[Chorus]
My chains, new gold watch, made in China
We play ping pong ball, made in China
给bitch买点儿奢侈品 made in China

[Verse 4]
She lie, she lie, she lie 不要觉得意外
女孩 女孩 女孩为什么要离开
我的上辈子是李白 看我写歌那么厉害
所以不会感到奇怪 十二点的时候叫我起来
伴奏画龙点睛 我们那么年轻
不是和尚念经 也不可能变心
桌子上面放的麻将 一瓶老干妈的辣酱
外地人会受不了的辣 嘴巴开始发烫
咋个样 麻辣烫 回到属于我的Chinatown
四只手 舞狮子头 点燃火炮现在是时候 (Aye, aye)
你无法预料被我吓一跳 一直围到这个话题绕 (Aye)
Higher风格屌 啥到弄得到 你们家的东西全部都是中国造
[Verse 5]

从秦始皇陵到紫禁城 made in China
You don’t really know me
没得时间休息

兄弟我欢迎你来到这五千年历史中创造着神奇的国度里
Made in China能折服你
沦陷着 nobody saves me
[Chorus]
