I don't have any empirical evidence of his relative intelligence but I can say I have never, ever heard him speak eloquently or as an informed authority on any single matter he is talking about. This is going back to him in the 80's as a real estate guy working to bilk NYC out of tax $. Sure he has the tongue of a charlatan, but that is it, well maybe that he ranks among one of the most successful charlatans in career longevity and success but a charlatan nonetheless.
Even his career/monetary "success" is shrouded in his pathological lying. The only thing I know to be factual that he says is that he is the president and in true form he even takes that a step further with lying about how he got there.
As I posted above: "Yup. Bonds at ~16% interest @600million. There's an absolutely zero chance that whole project wasn't about side deals and whatnot. There was never any way the casino was going to make enough to even cover the interest, roughly 8 million a month. "

Sure, they could. But the target of trumpos rage is not based on the actual deal itself it's based off of (like usual) misconstrued/misrepresented facts. And as everyone really knows the WP...ya know the "AmazonWashingtonPost" as trump likes to call it.
There was some analysis piece done a while back that said the USPS *could/should be charging more* but that doesn't fall into line even close with the narrative Trump is (most likely parroting from fox news) spewing. Multibillion dollar deals are a tad more complex than 'they could be making more, therefore they are losing money' as Trump asserts: "the U.S. Post Office will lose $1.50 on average for each package it delivers for Amazon"
Anyway, the deal is secret but the numbers aren't. The deal has shown to be a boon for the USPS because all of their numbers were in a freefall beforehand. That is indisputable and directly attributable to the deal with Amazon.
So you will take the post office claims that they are abiding by the law that all deals must be profitable as dubious, and consider an almost pathological liar who uses FoxNews Channel as basically his cabinet and calls pretty much all news fake news that doesn't lick his boots?
There is absolutely no reason to think this is some 'bad deal' for the taxpayer aside from The Whiner in chief having a beef with Bezos because he owns the WP and they have the audacity to call out Trump on his never ending stream of bullshit.
You add that Trump has publicly exclaimed/bragged MANY times on how him/his companies avoiding taxes is just being a good businessman and things become very clear.
I see things like this and imagine if he was able to actually just do what he wants, unencumbered by the little checks and balances we have left.
From just purely the words out of his mouth I could see us nearing third world status in a decade or two if he was left to his own devices. And I say that with not a bit of hyperbole.
...popcorn in hand for some company to leak data like this. I always figured it would be something like FB messages which I am fully convinced was the the way the world in 'The Road' became that way.
If I recall correctly there was a poll that showed in roughly 30% percent of marriages one or both partners admitted to cheating. Imagine ~10 million married couples finding out about infidelity in the relationship near simultaneously.
Let save those 'atta-boys' unti we see how Trump deals with this. I mean we are talking about a man who won the election and will fornever shut up about illegal voting just because he didn't win the popular vote.

Only an extremely naive person or willfully dishonest can attribute things like the economy as a whole to the president who has been in office for 14 months. There is a ton of variables and nuance that the president has zero control of regardless of their actions.
Trump is an objectively terrible human being but the true measure of his presidency on the economy, immigration, etc, etc will take years to figure out in any meaningful way.
I still have a folder on my archive disks from someone who was losing their HDD and I backed up their 13,000+ song music collection ("I would just die if I lost this") because I had the space so they could come get it back after a new disk/OS. That was 8 years ago, not even a single ask about it. I would imagine Amazon and the others are just a macro version of that, petabytes of dusty storage space that is almost never accessed.
I've seen enough road fails youtube videos to have quite a bit of anecdotal evidence that people do not slow down and react extremely poorly when the person does step out.
Also the police chief, who has seen the video, made it clear that the person "stepped out of the shadows" and "would have been difficult to avoid this collision in any kind of mode (autonomous or human-driven) "
Seems like people are hell bent on the belief that autonomous cars can't be better than the amazingly faulty human.
Maybe the car was decelerating after identifying a newly posted 35mph sign?
But I am sure those "what if's" along with that same data will net the surviving family a nice chunk of change in litigation. It's not the fault of the person walking to oncoming traffic that's the problem here it's the ED-209 killer car traveling marginally outside of the posted limit.
Maybe it's for design since it doesn't make any sense. If you move around on street view they put up signs telling people not to use it so something like this has probably happened before.
...so as you are walking through the cabin that is fully seated you may be within that proximity to 3/4 the people on the plane at one time or another.

Was this proven? I hadn't heard anything other than the droves of internet people giving their armchair forensic and legal opinions.

One that takes out a 600million$ loan(bonds) at ~16% interest, because banks wouldn't ouch them with a 10 foot pole..

Trumps factual art of negotiation: "Give me what I want or I will cry and take my ball and go home (sue you until you capitulate)."
Being able to be unreasonable and always have the scorched earth option as a viable plan is not skill it's just being a unreasonable tyrant.
I thought it was pretty funny.

No casualties on our side, no embedded reporting, no exposure to the loss and horrors. What could go wrong?
"aren't leaving it as easy as a few mouse clicks" is what I meant.
That's like bemoaning bike locks because someone could just use bolt cutters.
It's about adding layers of security. Someone will always find a way around it but at least they are leaving it as easy as a few mouse clicks.
"Hey FBI, here's this website that is like a honey pot for sickos so you can easily identify them and weed them out!"
FBI: "No thanks, shut it down. We'd rather only find out about horrible exploitation after it has gone on for years and the victim finally gets away."
I only have 6,312 options left for music storage.

The fundies really did some good PR work to make human trafficking a synonym to prostitution.
I just noticed the path is also lighted. Like with a light in the middle of it. And it's next to a park.
I'm starting to think the local funeral home designed that area.

This is ~50 yards from where the accident happened.

Yes, exactly like those other places where viruses tend to spread.
