There is a funny thing about his "lies"...

Most of the time, those lies turn out to be true.

The only reason you think he is lying is because you believe what the media is telling you.

I talked to a guy who was on his Security Detail first time around. Trump sat down with them and talked to them. I don't know that he voted for Trump. I just know that he did not have much bad to say about him.

I have seen several stories from people who have worked for him at low levels. Their experiences line up with this. He listens to people.

A lot of people have died from the vaccine. Check your local mortuary. The numbers are not pretty. Lots of people are dying in mysterious fashion. Somehow, we are ignoring the data. It is no fun.

Check the data. It is ugly. It is terrifying that almost everything that has been marked as "wrong" has now turned out to be true. The really scary part IS WE HAD THE DATA AT THE BEGINNING.

It is VERY VERY possible that more people have died from the vaccine than have died from the disease. If you are not aware of that, the suppression worked.

You haven't paid attention outside the ecosystem of the Great Fauci then.

Right now, Joe Rogan is likely to have saved more lives than Fauci. Fauci may have killed more people than CoronaDoom.

Check with your local Mortuary and see how business is going. Mortuaries around the world have had gangbuster business for the last year. In Jan 2021, the body count started growing. They were down before Jan 2021, but something happened in Jan 2021 that caused people to start dying a little more often.

It has not yet reverted to the mean. People are dying. IF you pay just a little attention to other news sources you might know about the large number of professional athletes dying on the field. You might know about the uncomfortable number of children who have died. You might know about a rash of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome, Sudden Unknown Child Deaths.

But that requires you to put on that cap of science and realize that science is not Fauci. Science is figuring out why you are wrong and never stopping trying to figure it out.

Have a great day. Joe Rogan was the least offensive reporter on the planet when it came to misinformation. Most of the news services on our globe are finally starting to realize that they have suppressed a huge story. And it was suppressed. The things deemed "misinformation" a year ago have mostly been shown to have been KNOWN by the people in power back then.

The people saying this is the greatest crime against humanity of all time, might be understating it.

Except if you listen to the FDA, it is more like 1 in 20,000. If you listen to the FDA the decision line for whether or not to vaccinate based on the relative risk of Covid vs the relative risk of side effects of the vaccine... It is 40 Years old. People under 40 without any confounding factors are better off NOT getting vaccinated.

See our 6:28:30 for this declaration, of the 8 hour meeting on whether they should authorize the 3rd Jab.

Plot all of the data. The point of me suggesting that someone plot the data is multipurpose. It isn't just to get them to look at the actual data. It is to get them to look at all of the data and to start asking questions about the data they find. I did a heat map of the planet from 1750 to the present. It was for a website called FreeCodeCamp. I followed the instructions and learned how to use D3.js. It was useful.

I have downloaded and plotted ALL of the data. Anyone who has knows about 1750. They can tell you interesting tidbits about data from 1750.

If you have done a little more plotting, you can also tell me interesting things that happened in the 70s.

My son did some basic analysis on the temperature data. All of his R^2 were awful. He spent a lot of time just getting to the point that he could say "R^2 was awful".

And we haven't even touched on the idiocy of calculating an average world temperature without including humidity. Psychometric charts tell you "Don't @)@#$@ assume anything when it comes to humidity." Find out what the enthalpy of 100% humidity at 20C then follow the isenthalpic line back to 0% humidity. If you don't know the humidity, you don't know jack. If you don't know what enthalpy is and you are calling me names for being skeptical about the climate alarmists, I don't even know how to start.

How to spend the money?

1. Clean Water
2. Food
3. Clean Streets (garbage not piling up)
4. Energy
5. Transportation

This is what I suggest we spend money on. Someone might calll that a Hierarchy of needs.

I am not going to spend $Ts managing CO2 before I get clean water to everyone. People trading pieces of paper over CO2 and not making sanitation a priority are idiots.

Comment Resume Scams (Score 1) 49

I have received a lot of phone calls from New Jersey, Texas, and several other states. When I pick up the phone, the accent on the other end distinctly identifies the origin of the call. I have asked them where they are calling from and they honestly answer India. If there is anything remotely resembling an Indian accent, I just hang up. I have gotten interviews. Never from an indian, unless it was Skype interview. There are plenty of good reasons to not hire me. But there are also good reasons to find people with mixed bag resumes and add them to the pile with a person who has an Excellent Resume and then get that excellent resume hired.

Comment Re:No, the problem is coding is just too new. (Score 1) 397

Excellent comment. You are partially wrong though in the conclusion. The number of people who understand the underlying buckets keeps getting smaller. We have abstractions on top of abstractions on top of abstractions. Even 0 and 1 are abstractions. Sometimes they are a voltage. Sometimes they are a Frequency. Sometimes they are an amplitude. I have asked for raw data from some folks including the following joke -- "I know that the raw data for some of this is a voltage!"

Almost no one giggles. I can't even get a "I am laughing inside".

In order to write the joke, I had to abstract. Those voltages aren't 1s and 0s. A temperature induces a resistance which induces a voltage across a constant current which gets read and then converted into a digital number which is applied to a lookup table or possibly a translation function which gets turned into digital value which then has to be stored somewhere involving a similar set of translations...

There are leaders of companies out there who stumble over the idea of Revenue > Expense. NO ONE should stumble over this.

Women should not be discouraged from studying CS, Engineering, Math any science. If they are being discouraged, it is their own damn fault. The next time they think they have been discriminated against, they need to turn around and look at the males that are being discriminated against right behind them.

The males aren't being discriminated against by women. They are being discriminated against by MEN!

Life is unfair folks. WAKE UP, Suck it up, and step up to the plate again. You might strike out. If you whine about how the pitchers were unfair, we know you aren't up to the task. Guess what, they are unfair for all of us. Is your ego hurt? Join the club.

Women Engineers are likely just as good at Engineering as Male Engineers.

WOMEN are not as likely to become engineers as males are.

Engineers are slightly unhinged when compared to non engineers.

Engineers do not communicate as successfully to VCs as non engineers.

Women do not always know what it is they are communicating.

Females DO manage to get VC funding. Females are more than equally likely to be shunned by other females.

Life sucks. Get up to the plate and bat. When you strike out, get up again. If you are stuck on statistics, you do not know what is happening and need to leave the game. The game is not what it appears to be, but at the same time it is. If you are fixated on female/male differences YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT the game is. If you do not understand that there are differences between males and females, you do not know what the game is.

Their AI will find what is right and wrong. They will use the latest machine learning technology to learn from all of the input and output what should stay and what shouldn't.

Of course where they get the training set is going to be fascinating. We will have to create a training set on how to find the training set. Hey, let's use the Slashdot training set of Offtopic, flamebait, funny, too the point...

Crap, now we need to do a training set on the definition of each of those words.

We (folks who are way further down the spectrum than we want to admit to) are very good at creating buckets. Buckets are awesome. Buckets help me break down problems into manageable sub units and find solutions incrementally as a result.

The problem with buckets... They are always wrong.

If we could replace human drivers with automated drivers instantly. We could make automation happen more quickly than we can without doing that.

If we could violate the laws of physics and make flying cars a reality (some of the quad copters are getting close). 3D sky makes the problems easier. But buckets will be involved again. Lots of buckets.
