  • as someone who owns property in Manhattan

    She doesn’t call herself a New Yorker or “resident of Manhattan” because legally she’s probably a Florida resident, because they have no income tax.

    It doesn’t matter what she thinks. The People of New York, both as the prosecution and the jury, convicted him. She’s not a citizen of New York, so her opinion doesn’t matter. She knows this. She should pay her NY state and local taxes and stop being a freeloader if she wants to be heard.



  • Clever Hans (German: der Kluge Hans; c. 1895 – c. 1916) was a horse that was claimed to have performed arithmetic and other intellectual tasks. After a formal investigation in 1907, psychologist Oskar Pfungst demonstrated that the horse was not actually performing these mental tasks, but was watching the reactions of his trainer. He discovered this artifact in the research methodology, wherein the horse was responding directly to involuntary cues in the body language of the human trainer, who was entirely unaware that he was providing such cues.

  • Amazon never could figure out how to make that profitable on it’s own

    They are so dumb. Every house could use their products, they just need to charge normal prices. Everyone has light switches in every room. Imagine if most new houses came with “Alexa” switches and electric plugs.

    They tried to make money on a few hobbyists who could set it up for themselves. They needed to go after the construction market. Charge half of what they were charging and sell a ton to every house in America. It’s not an iPhone. It’s a basic device to turn on the lights.
