Failed senate candidate is involved in Arizona fraudit, because of course he is

of this have to do with your Shiva, Inventor of E-Mail, and the Fraudit?

Because that’s what people are discussing here. Nothing of what you are babbling about, deplorable.

This is just an off-topic word soup derail decorated with random links. Take your ADD meds and try and focus. This thread is not about Biden or Afghanistan.

With links to questionable sources and a gratuitous bullshit right wing meme photo.

Right on brand for you, dmc. Right down to the laughably horrible Zogby poll - well known as an extremely unreliable polling organization for over a decade.

Really. FDA frowns.
As far as the whole 'email' thing, here's a site that seems to break it down a bit.

FTA, "However, it should be noted that Ray Tomlinson’s email could not send an email across different networks. His Email was just limited to the SAME NETWORK. For example, if you wanted to send an email to different universities in the US, let’s say, between MIT and Stanford — it was not possible using Ray’s email."
He was a pioneer.

"My first reason is to unequivocally authenticate that Shiva created “EMAIL”, the first email system, in my lab, starting in 1978. EMAIL, for the record, was more than just a “program“ but a complete system --- it was the “electronic inter-office, inter-organizational mail system,” the first of its kind, an integrated platform that provided all the recognizable elements of what we call email today, as related in a previous and accurate article written by Doug Aamoth in Time. EMAIL went beyond “electronic messaging.”"

So, did he invent email? I dunno. Better minds than mine seem to think so. He seems to have a claim. My thinking? Sir Issac Newton said, (rough paraphrase...) "I see further because I stand on the shoulders of giants".
UHubbies just don't like his politics.

He does seem to own the copyright, though...

but it isn't my field so I have no idea if he's full of shit or not.

That said, four pages of acknowledgments and a biographical note? Get over yourself, pal, it's just a dissertation.

to the "biology" part, but the "computational" part is a hot mess. The bits of code he's chosen to include are incredibly trivial... I can't imagine why anyone would include a sample driver file in a Ph.D thesis, unless he was hoping to impress/intimidate a non-technical reader by throwing in C code to prove he's smart. His phrasing is bizarre--apparently no one ever bothered to tell him that the plural of "source code" is not "source codes", and he makes some rudimentary errors in describing things like software objects, so the whole thing reads like it was written by someone has never actually written a line of code. None of his diagrams have anything to do with what he's talking about--they're non-sequiturs that look like they're there to pad the page count.

If I was a peer reviewer and this was submitted to, like, an ACM journal or something, I would bounce it completely. He's offering up what he says is a generalized way of essentially bolting together different parts of a computational biology "pipeline," and the intro as much as says he built it because there's no generalized solution available already. The thesis defense was in 2007, and if there was indeed no general solution available in 2007, I'll eat my hat. There's no discussion of complexity/runtime (literally the first thing you talk about), the code samples included are written at a CS101 level, and his grasp of software development fundamentals is so poor that it affects every part of the design and discussion. The fact that this was accepted as a Ph.D thesis is surprising; the fact that MIT accepted it is mind boggling.

This intro paragraph is really something.

1.1 The Complexity of Biology
Biology is a field based on experiments, not first principles (ab initio) such as
physics or engineering. It is fundamentally an experimental science. Biologists
do many experiments to understand genes, proteins, protein-protein interactions.

It's not hard to believe that the author of this dog's breakfast has become a prominent anti-vaxxer, or that he's carrying water for the lunatic fringe of the GOP.

Well thought and stated. Thank you.

Questions for you.

Apparently he has been at these efforts for quite some time. What evidence is there that he has any kind of support? The only persons I know who seem to follow him are Adam and Swirly, and they follow him as a prophylactic rather than a sycophant. Isn't the promulgation of his actions more a deflection from him toward some assumed support yet to be evidenced rather than an actual potential of becoming those madmen you suggest? Isn't the raising of his profile preventative political carpet bombing? Who claims this guy? Who defends him?

Methinks he as batshit crazy as orange line maskless guy, or Doug with the spray painted signs all over Boston, but I accept your reply and rationale. Just not so sure he is worthy of the profile.

Let's all be happy he didn't retreat to a cabin and begin mailing bombs like someone else from our local elite "International School(s)" who had other opinions about the problems of society. I believe we can still read his manifesto.

Did Bobby try to pass himself off as the inventor of dumbass, when that was really Shiva?
