Rudy Giuliani Eats His Own Words

/

What a disaster of an interview.    If the President had some sense, this is the guy he should fire.  Also, apparently using one's own words against them is now considered "unfair".  

I have an easy solution.  Don't say stupid things constantly.

The Mueller Investigation - One Year In

/

Nice infographic here from FiveThirtyEight, comparing the lengths of Special Investigations in Washington,  along with the numbers of indictments and guilty pleas for each.

Take one look at this, and tell me again that THIS is the investigation that has gone on "far too long", and is "the greatest witch hunt in American History".    Thought so.

Axios Questions the Google Duplex Demo→

/

This whole article by Dan Primack at Axios is ridiculous.   The calls were CLEARLY edited / cherry picked prior to the keynote just by the simple fact that the businesses did not identify themselves at the beginning of the call.   They were not done live on stage.   I thought this was blatantly obvious to everyone who was watching the demo.   Apparently not.

The people writing all the hot takes about how outraged they are today are in one of two camps.

1)  Feigning outrage for clicks.
2) Total morons who are unable to think logically.

Like everything else in a keynote,  it's a demo.   Judge the feature when and if it releases.  Until then it's a waste of time to get agitated about it.
