1) This is my #Qanon update for April 22, 2018
Q posts can be found here: qanonposts.com
My theme for this series: "Learn Our Comms"
2) Some have chosen to focus on the subject of pedophilia in #Qanon's latest posts. Personally, I see that as a minor theme. Without minimizing the seriousness of pedophilia itself to those who are its victims, the subject of pedophilia isn't the main point of Q's recent messages
3) I believe the larger issue being raised by #Qanon is the importance of learning the way in which he communicates with us and the anons.
An example is that Q wants us to learn how to instinctively see the relationship between the President's tweets and Q's posts.
MSM downplayed Huma MB ties for 2016 election. Songbird slammed Bachman & was cited as Snopes source to debunk. AWAN & Jarrett = MB. Alwaleed paid for Hussein's Harvard ed. All sold U.S. out to MB. Enemy within. FBI knew. bit.ly/2bP5V7x bit.ly/2HiPD4Y
2. Salon hit piece on Bachman's "Witch hunt". She penned 16pg letter to Ellison re: MB infiltration of US gov't. Is this why @realDonaldTrump often uses the term "Witch Hunt" in Tweets re: Russia collusion & Mueller SC? Q confirms. bit.ly/2qOW9tW bit.ly/2qOW9tW
3. "Civilization Jihad" is what's happening in Europe & what Hussein meant by "fundamentally transforming" our country. MB plan is to flood countries w/Muslims (e.g., refugees) who aren't here to assimilate but to destroy Western civilizations from within. bit.ly/2tf0IfL
It's always fun when I speak to founders and potential founders and they are quick to tell me how they want to use AI/ML to improve customer retention and improve LTV. Truth is, they don't even need ML. A properly written SQL is what you need.
In a former life, I used to write SQL to extract customer of the week. Basically, select from orders table where basket size is the biggest. We will then email a nice thank you note to this customer and attach a small coupon/voucher....
...Guess what? 99% of these people became repeat customers. We never needed ML. We just wrote a simple SQL and got this information. We did the same thing for customers who last shopped 3 or so months ago....
I've talked to a lot of distributed systems engineers (who build cloud-scale stuff) from across the industry about blockchain. While most platform folks I talked to are perfectly happy to help with frameworks that help selling product or services, ...
... and some even rode the crypto wave to make some hay, I have a hard time finding people in the distributed systems platform community who believe that blockchain is even remotely as significant as the hype wants to make us believe.
Engineers at the center of the industry understand the qualities of append-only logs, understand signatures and non-repudiation, and understand consensus protocols. They understand that those are a few building blocks from a large toolbox and that there are choices for each.
1) This is an important thread - and it's something I've seen over and over, mostly with conspiracy theorists.

2) Example, there is a conspiracy theory that the UN/WHO/IAEA are lying about nuclear energy/radiation to cover up Fukushima/Chernobyl. @DrHCaldicott is a believer in this conspiracy. She (a famous physician) beleives outliers over the rest of the health physics field.
3) Another example is Dr Karl Grossman. He similarly rejects the views of the scientific community on radiation - he sees the entire field as "boosters of nuclear technology". I tried to get at the central question of @drvox thread - how does he analyze information?
Today, I’m going to give this topic time. Over the last year & a half, lots of people have explained why that view of yours is flawed but perhaps if we put this in one thread, it may make sense.
Firtsly, every individual is flawed & conflicted. We constantly have to choose between what’s right & what is wrong. These choices are influenced by society, morality & our own personal biases.
Society evolves with time & likewise morality shifts as a result. What may be amoral today was perhaps acceptable back in the day.
Ok. Gunna live tweet Chapter Two of Platform Capitalism by @n_srnck for this intensive reading program starting next week. Some have indicated they can't access the chapter thus #NBNotes lives again. Don't forget to ping me if you want to join in remotely via Slack. ping @l_vijay

Srnicek, begins by wondering if Platform Capitalism sits within the history of capitalism's response to crisis since the 1970s citing capitalism's ability to morph with the times. Did the global financial crisis of 2008 give rise to this new approach?
Certainly there is a correlation between discourse around rise of tech and the latest financial crisis. Srnicek locates the focus around 2010 with phrases like "paradigm shift", "fourth industrial revolution" and comparison of contemporary times to the Enlightenment/Renaissance

Hello Everyone, welcome to @Nairametrics Corporate News Roundup for the week ended April 21, 2018. This thread is brought to you by @BluechipTechNG
Thread starts here...
Remember to retweet the first tweet of this thread so others on your timeline won't miss out. The first tweet of this thread will be pinned to my profile for the rest of the week. You can also check my likes for past threads.
It's another loaded thread as Corporate Nigeria was busy last week. We have news from the telecoms, sector, banking, consumer goods etc.
A Newsletter version of this thread has also been sent to our subscribers.
First things first: "Post abortion syndrome" (PAS) is not recognised as a diagnosis in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association but is "condition" used in a wealth of anti-abortion literature and brochures handed out by religious picketers.
PAS was coined by Dr Vincent Rue a staunch US anti-abortion campaigner who testified before US congress in the 1980s that he had observed PAS in women.
1/36 This threads about the cigar show Michael Cohen put on & connecting some dots w/ the Trump Tower Fire & Mueller investigation. I’ve done 2 past threads specifically on the #trumptowerfire (links at the end of this thread). Let me start w/ when I passed by Cohen & Rotem Rosen
2/36 As I went by 61st & Park on Friday the 13th I saw Paparazzi on the corner. It’s not unusual in NYC & if they’re just hanging out they’re usually waiting for someone to arrive/leave. That was how they looked & since it's the Regency Hotel I figured they were waiting on Cohen
3/36 At this point I was convinced the Trump Tower Fire on Saturday was a factor in Cohen’s FBI Raid the prior Monday, so Cohen was on my mind & I was paying attention but I didn’t expect to walk by the Papparazzi & straight into Cohen standing on the street chatting w/ someone.
As most of us know, attorney Alex van der Zwaan, 33, a Dutch national and formally an associate in the London office of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, pleaded guilty in February to one count of making a false statement in violation of 18 USC 1001 to Mueller's team. /1
He was sentenced earlier this month to 30 days in prison, to be followed by 60 days of supervised release, and also fined $20,000. Alex van der Zwaan was also fired by Skadden Arps for his conduct. /2 cnn.com/2018/04/03/pol…
Specifically, Alex van der Zwaan admitted that he lied to Mueller’s people in November, 2017 about communications he in fact had in September, 2016 with Manafort associates Rick Gates and “Person A” (almost certainly GRU-linked Konstantin Kilimnik) /3 justice.gov/file/1036406/d…
I even see people expecting Trump to be imprisoned, which is extremely unlikely to the point of not being worth fantasizing about.
This isn’t going to end wrapped up prettily with a bow on top.
We are fighting for the survival of our republic.

I want to be clear:
I believe Trump either personally and/or through his cut-out representatives committed what is tantamount to treason in re working with a foreign adversary to undermine US elections, etc.
That’s my OPINION, based on evidence available in the public domain.
My exploring Trump’s ties to Russia and reporting on Russian active measures - and my doing so before the MSM was doing its job in this regard - resulted in my being defamed by the New Republic, the Atlantic, the Houston Chronicle, and CNN as a “liberal conspiracy theorist.”
