I don't know if that stereotype about the highly-educated being employees rather than entrepeneurs holds true, but if it?

Thanks to this month's statistical aberration in the murder rate ...

As I pointed out in my post, it's not even that. Just business as usual for January, unfortunately.

something that suggests there is a way to make money other than buying and selling houses

Mate, have you seen the state of the stock market recently? (says one who finally, finally offloaded his surplus houses & has entreated his spouse to please stop attending open homes.)

I'm using a bunch?

Llew, stocks are not the only other fruit. And yes, let's work up that export niche. I'm thinking Michael Bulgaris to do the brokerage?

Russell, would you accept "customary annual aberraton"?

Trademe might be more efficient!

How about we start exporting children? There's a burgeoning market among US celebrities.

I'd rather export boomers and wrinklies, myself. They voted the country into generations of debt already, and my kids and grandchildren-yet-to-be could do without them stuffing it up any further.

I'd volunteer if I thought Angelina Jolie might adopt me.

I agree with your thoughts on being inventive and entrepreneurial. I have an overactive mind and am constantly coming up with ideas or inventions but I don't have that entrepreneurial skill/experience to turn those ideas into reality and have yet to find anyone who is supportive enough here?

I think you might have a hard time finding statements from politicians that have factual veracity to train off.

Touche. I was actually thinking that yesterday, I think much of the disillusionment with politics is a side-effect of the fact that most politicians set off everybody's bullshit detectors every time?

Probably it would be better to train a classifier to work directly on statements of fact. "Taxes will be lowered within 1 year", and then link those to political utterances.

My guess is that there will almost no?

Or they say nothing, using a lot of words to do it.

Well, yes, that's usually a good way to set off somebody's bullshit alarms :)

I don't doubt you're right about the latter point though – in all honesty, I'd never anticipated the idea I punted earlier to actually?

I'm not convinced that the measure of a good life is how much wealth this country has in relation to other countries; rather,?

Certainly the notion of all boats rising, which you might use in its place, is one the free market advocates embraced enthusiastically although the cost on the planet's consumption somewhat taxes that proposition.

And?

Lots of code kicking around for the taking if you want to do naive Bayesian stuff. All the hard work is in a) assembling suitable collections of stuff to train your program with and b) taking the time to do the training,?

Damnit.
