Comment Re:Yawn - Please Flee CA as many want to stay (Score 1) 258

Thank you. Literally looked at housing in Los Angeles yesterday and I'm trying to find something palatable to buy with a 60 min commute to the west side for under 500k and its incredibly difficult. If something stays on the market longer than 90 days it's abnormal. Zillow if you doubt me.

For every person fleeing California there are three in SF/LA who say "Man, this is rough, and I would love to leave.... but where would I go?" Show me a diverse, culturally rich urban environment with a lower cost of living, better governance, and 900/900 internet speeds :)

1. "The manufacturers of the equipment only make 2-3 a year at a billion dollars each, and we're using EUV methods, so the light source is weak and costs a billion dollars itself." False. The very most expensive machines are ASML steppers, at over $100 million each. Most other semiconductor equipment is nowhere near that expensive. PVD, CVD, Etch, ion implanters, etc., are all considerably less.
2. ASML sold nine EUV steppers in F21Q1 alone.
3. Fabs are very expensive not because of a few super-expensive machines, but because of dozens of merely expensive machines.
2. Cutting edge fabs are $10-20 billion, not "hundreds of billions."

Submission + - Benford's Law Shows Evidence of Biden Vote Fraud (battleswarmblog.com)

Nova Express writes: Benford’s Law, also called the Newcomb–Benford law, the law of anomalous numbers, or the first-digit law, is an observation about the frequency distribution of leading digits in many real-life sets of numerical data. The law states that in many naturally occurring collections of numbers, the leading digit is likely to be small. For example, in sets that obey the law, the number 1 appears as the leading significant digit about 30% of the time, while 9 appears as the leading significant digit less than 5% of the time. If the digits were distributed uniformly, they would each occur about 11.1% of the time. Benford’s law also makes predictions about the distribution of second digits, third digits, digit combinations, and so on.

As the vote counting for the 2020 Presidential Election continues, various facts suggest rampant frauds in Joe Biden’s votes. So does mathematics in terms of the votes from precincts.

...the son of the sitting Vice President took $3 million in Ukrainian oligarch money, a $3.5 million transfer from the wife of the mayor of Moscow, and helped sell American military technology to a Chinese business partner with ties to the People's Liberation Army.

These are all documented.

Also, the primary sub-source for the Steele dossier was suspected of being a Russian intelligence asset.

But no, let's talk about Facebook posts as the agent of Russian interference in American elections.

Submission + - Image Search Results Systematically Distorted (battleswarmblog.com)

Nova Express writes: If you search for "American Inventors" in Google image search, you might expect well known inventors like the Wright brothers, Benjamin Franklin and Eli Whitney to show up among the first results. You would be wrong. Those famous inventors have been replaced by more obscure black American inventors. "Someone has obviously gone to a great deal of time and effort to falsify history for political reason."

Also, it's not just Google: DuckDuckGo, Yahoo and Bing all bring up similarly gamed results.
