You don't need deep neural networks when this will do:

egrep 'MAGA|NO COLLUSION||FAKE NEWS|LIBTARD' > /russian_bots.txt

The accuracy of human's ability to detect fake news can be correllated with cognitive ability. Typically we look at the quality of the writing, formality of the language, citations, past knowledge of author or outlet, past knowledge of named sources and other qualities old fashioned real journalists and editors are well aware of.

So instead of google rank purely by citation, create a Bayesian lie detector. Set the output to True and throw a math or physics textbook at a ML training network. Give it some weather and other verifiable predictions from the past which are verifiable.

Then set it to False and send it excepts from the Enquirer, Star, Onion.

Finally, send it text from trumptwitterarchive and whitehouse.gov and stand out of the way!

Captain Kirk: Everything Harry tells you is a lie. Remember that. Everything Harry tells you is a lie.
Harry Mudd: Listen to this carefully, Norman. I am lying.
Norman the android: You say you are lying, but if everything you say is a lie then you are telling the truth, but you cannot tell the truth because everything you say is a lie. You lie. You tell the truth. But you cannot for. Illogical! Illogical! Please explain. (Smoke comes out of Norman's head.)

This feasible technology is known as cognitive radio with spectrum pricing games. But given congressional-oligopoly financial feedback mechanisms, I expect the next gen will be wideband AM with 99% of the DC to Light spectrum allocated to Rush Limbaugh with the remaining 1% divided between for-profit emergency services, automated stock trading and World Harvest Radio's endtimes prophesy hour.

For a decade or two this may be true of Saudi surface oil (where Jed Clampet and a squirrel rifle drill a deep enough to strike oil), but it isn't true for frack oil where you have to figure in the cost of the sand and it isn't true for Canadian shale-oil where you have to figure in the energy cost of separation and transportation and already it isn't true for North Sea oil and it's doubtful that it will be true for deepwater wells in the Arctic or Gulf of Mexico or other places even if you can ignore the cost of environmental damage and human lives lost. In fact oil Energy Return On Investment (EROI) has been decreasing to from 2000:1 in 1919 to 5:1 in 2007. In fact, just as whales became more and more difficult to harvest as we approached peak whale oil in 1845, we are approaching the point where every drop of oil takes more energy and blood to extract.

“For God’s sake, be economical with your lamps and candles. Not a gallon you burn, but at least one drop of man’s blood was spilled for it.” -- Herman Melville (Moby Dick 1851)

1. Obtuse template names
2. No "Are you sure you want to send "(contents of template") as a live message?
3. No "this was only a test, "ignore previous message..." template indicates that no one thought this through until it became a production system.
4. Testing on live a production system.

But at a higher level, why is this-- as our duffer in chief calls it, "...purely a state exercise?" Isn't national security a national issue-- provide or the common defence or something like that? Apparently not in Hawaii, Puerto Rico, California or those pesky blue states.

If in this age of de-federalizing and privatizing, POTUS wants to pass the buck and treat this as a state issue, why does the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency have that "DOD" prefix? Imagine if we spent $80 million (roughly the DOD's ED expenditure) on a national emergency communications system and as a condition for consuming public RF bandwidth and government-subsidized internet infrastructure, the communications cartels (Comcast/TimeWarner/AT&T/Verizon/Disney...) would provide a channel for this information.

The other option is to follow the "every man for himself!" libertarian approach of the Trump fork of the Republican party. In which case, I'd like to direct you to our subscription-only missile warning communications service where for a monthly price of $59.95 per family member ($25.95 for pets), you too can receive notification of impending doom. (Ask about our premium $99.95 astrology-assisted version where you'll receive missile notification 14 minutes earlier than all of your neighbours!)

I pointed to some blinking Christmas lights and told a couple of kids in our coderdojo that there is software code in those lights. 15 years ago most blinking Christmas lights relied on a bulb filament's heat bending a bimetal contact away from a fixed contact or an analog oscillator. Now it's cheaper, more reliable, efficient and flexible to use microcontrollers and LEDs whose flickering might not be entirely random.

It works for other currencies too. Several trillion dollars were pissed away in dot com bubbles, CDO/CDS and other zero-value instruments, housing bubbles, Madoff-styled schemes, endless wars... so now those pre-1982 pennies you under your couch cushions are worth almost twice their face value.

What if... the Slashdot effect of thousands of amateurs exiting BitCoin would cascade into a run on BitCoin that would burn the pump and dump criminals responsible for this, the CDO & CDS scams, Madhoff, dot.com, the housing bubble, the rent-backed-securities bubble...?

When he signs the save-the-billionaire tax deform bill, U.S. citizen graduate students earning $20-35k on tuition waiver assistantships will face the very highest tax rate. For example a graduate student earning $32,500 on an assistantship at a private university would pay taxes on $81,440. They would face a higher effective tax rate than Warren Buffet, George Soros, Bill Gates, Donald Trump...

This punishment for those who seek a Masters or PhD (doctors for example) would apply to U.S. citizen graduate students in the U.S. and those who study abroad for example on a Rhode's scholarship at Oxford UK. But the republican anti-edumacation tax would not apply to foreign students on a scholarship in the U.S. This means the xenophobic Republicans out there are going to have to cope with more doctors, TAs and professors who speak with a foreign accent. All this because education is toxic to the Trump fork of Republicanism.

Thus allowing this single station to unnecessarily monopolize valuable public bandwidth that could have been used for competing stations, competing ideas, community radio, emergency broadcasts...

So which of the FCC's strategic goals does this fall under? 1) Promoting Economic Growth and National Leadership, 2) Protecting Public Interest Goals, 3) Making Networks Work for Everyone or 4) Promoting Operational Excellence?

This experimental license had been renewed for more than a decade. It was pulled with only a 30 day notice for public comments and many of those comments were ignored for procedural issue. It was not possible for WAPA obtain a non-experimental synchronous A.M. booster license because despite this experiment's success, the FCC provided no legal path to such a license. Blanco-Pi complied with the FCC's demand to go back to the original license despite its inferiority in spectrum efficiency and coverage.

Regarding the use of the 455-1600Khz A.M. spectrum as a vehicle for anti-immigrant, anti-Latino, pro-gun, pro-hate, white-supremacists propaganda. This does go against the FCC's goals,especially regarding universal service, public safety and national security. This administration's failures make it clearer each day how toxic this propaganda has been. The hate, conspiracy theories and accusations spewed here is another indication. But I apologize for adding that final paragraph. It deserves a separate story.
