I recall, just before the graduation ceremony from high school, a friend asked me "so what are you doing after graduation?" and I replied. "oh.. probably try to score some beer". I'm here to tell you all that I scored that frigging beer!! And I went on to a whole bunch of other stuff too but I...

Normal distribution is a useful approximation and some things ARE normally distributed. What you are saying is that we have to keep track of our assumptions as we go through a thinking process? Engineers learn to do that better than anyone. We make assumptions so that we can simplify problems...

Yeah, and if environmentalists weren't completely Junk Scienced up we would have nuclear energy to spare, no mercury pollution at all.

Ignore works for me, except I am always curious about what the idiot had to say this time and I click on the "just this once" button. Now I would like to suggest the new feature called "Really Ignore" that I could use when I got tired of the "Just This once" button. I am serious about this...

Definitely doable, maybe not easy, 23% a week, you go dude. Are you going to be in the sub $5 NASDAQ issues? :)

Saddam had Billions and he hates Jews. He was a big funding source for Hamas. Absolutely thrilled see him taken down. The funding of terrorism is a prime target, the sooner we can make it dry up the better. Some big funders of terrorism in Saudi Arabia were killed over the last couple of years...

I never go to the public sector for data if I can help it. Their crash tests are done to favor politically correct small cars, they are more subject to taking payoffs to make data come out the way they want, etc. You could do away with 75% of the public sector and not even make a bump in the...

That works

It is not that hard. You would laugh at some of the ways info is gotten out of people, without brutality or drugging I might add. The British and Americans developed ways during WW II that are really funny, and effective. The more modern stuff involves keeping a guy disoriented but it takes a...

First casualty of clear thinking is the endless bullshit

Subject: Weapons of Math Destruction HOT OFF THE WIRES At New York's Kennedy airport today, an individual later discovered to be a public school teacher was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square, a slide rule, and a calculator. At a...

Yes!! We had special ops collecting intelligence in Iraq since the beginning of the war. We captured 5500 of Saddam's guys and Saddam himself finally. Hundreds of guys took part in the capture with no problems. The guys were trained and ready to go, and they did, on a few minutes notice. They...

That is really good neighborhood bar info. Thanks.

I think that Howard Ruff (the only expert I ever heard from on this) was saying that the bullets would be for hunting basically, he thought people would be concerned with supplying food for their family. I don't recall a lot about civil unrest although there would almost have to be some, pretty...

Newsletters, gotta love 'em. I know a guy that walks around with newsletters in his pockets grumbling about his job and how he has to work longer until his portfolio makes a comeback!!

I call that the sweet spot, where the parameter can be ajusted either way and still work. If you ajust a parameter a little and the system completely falls apart you need to stay far away from that parameter unless you can find a "real world" reason why that particular parameter would work and...

I just can't kick the QCharts habit. I cancelled my sub yesterday but I was having lots of difficulty sorting out some ideas I am testing with TS2000 last night, I pulled up the Qcharts and everything just got so much better. I can't "flow" with any of the other clunky stuff that is out there...

There was a guy named Howard Ruff that published books and a newsletter on this subject decades ago, I recall that he was talking about a variety of gold coins, bullets, hidden food stores, etc. There may be others with newer more relevant information. Personally I'm not tying up any capital...

My wife knows, she NEVER adjusts. The room is turning into a combo storage-kids video games-trading space. And the wife has so many important things to talk to me about, when I'm doing math in my head. First priority:get the business the F%*K out of the house, far enough away so nobody will...
