Comment Electing President should be like a JOB INTERVIEW (Score 1) 281

It's hard to imagine that a successful entrepreneur would hire an executive for a company who has NO EXPERIENCE in that job, LITTLE KNOWLEDGE of the issues that the company faces on a daily basis, and has demonstrated a tendency for racism, sexism, and bullying. So how can any successful entrepreneur back Trump? I don't get it.

This is a life saving technology. Yes, it needs to be fail-safe, but it's important. Airbags are the same. They are life saving technologies. And they need to work perfectly. If an air-bag fires off by mistake, while you are driving, it can kill you. And yet BILLIONS of them work in the field ever day. Fail-safe is possible.

Comment UNU has made many odds defying picks. AMAZING! (Score 1) 170

The most impressive thing is not this single win, but that they have shown a STRING of wins. They were challenged to predict 10 COLLEGE BOWL GAMES (against the spread) and beat all the experts at ESPN, and beat vegas, winning 135%. See: http://unu.ai/wp-content/uploa... They were challenged to predict the OSCARS, and beat 95% of the experts (movie critics). See: http://unu.ai/unu-vs-the-exper... (there are also published academic papers about this, out there). Because of skepticism, a reporter tossed down the gauntlet and said - ok, predict the Kentucky Derby. And they did! If there's not some form of intelligence here, it's the most amazing story of LUCK that I've ever heard.

Comment The most amazing IN YOUR FACE ever... (Score 1) 170

The amazing thing is that they made this prediction in response to a challenge from a skeptical reporter who basically said... "sure, your system predicted the Oscars, the Superbowl, the Stanley Cup, and the NBA finals... but I still don't believe it works. So, how about this - predict the Kentucky Derby." And they did!

That's the amazing thing... They placed ONE BET and it was done in response to a challenge by a reporter at TECH REPUBLIC, who published their pick in advance - ONE PICK. This is the article that Tech Republic published 2 days before the race: http://www.techrepublic.com/ar...
