I think none of us expected it was real. Except you, of course.

We cannot deny that education is the key to success but education actually worked for is a lot better than education supposedly received when actually avoiding the draft and paying not the slightest attention to anything that he hadn't already taught

himself as a high school student.

You have absolutely no concept of what goes into an engineering
education. "Actually working for" an engineering educatoin requires
thousands of hours of difficult and intense study. At least half of
those beginning as engineering majors can't hack it and flunk out, drop
out or change majors.

And you, Tom, would never have met the entrance requirements.

oor little Franky searching for importance in his life and not finding it.

Does seem to line up with something Neurological happening with Tom, aka being easily convinced.

My brain can?t work out intent well now, so I tend to be cautious at least with money and so on.

Essentially do nothing until one is sure that one has worked out the
meaning and ask for help.

Being easily convinced of what? That direct questions about my experience with AI were to lead up to a scam? I have no idea what you do for a living but is someone that qppears to be a prospective employer were to ask you questions directly related to
your work would you find it authentic if they asked them? I was asked 20 questions or more before this scam was attempted. Since real engineers are pretty much gone from California (even Abbott has asked me to go to work as an embedded systems engineer)
should I be somehow labled a fool for believing that what appears to be an interview was eventually a scam?

And realistically it?s something folks kinda need to workout by themselves, ie pause think is this true?

I default to no or at least I?ll get back to you? Or with Faceblindness knowing that false positives are common, if I mildly recognise someone, I essentially say ?ok brain you recognise them? From where? How do you recognise??

Mind you other times folks come up and know my name and family and I
haven?t a clue who they are such is life!

I think that with Tom both can be true, the one doesn?t need to exclude the other and so on.

Ie even if true doesn?t excuse being an Arse!

Roger, you usually post well. This was looks like it was said by Kamala Harris.

Silly little tommy still inventing his life.

Since I was a successful electronics engineer I don't have to invent anything. I have recommendations on LinkedIn from some important people. I am reasonably wealthy and the market is likely to take off again whereby I can take my money out of "safe
investments" and put it back into growth stocks again and double it still again so that I have money to leave my stepchildren. My stepson was impressed enough with my performance that he got an Ms EE and is about to finish his PhD in management.

What have you ever done? You have done so poorly that you don't even have a recommendation on LinkedIn.

The program did nothing but measure a battery charge and display it on lights via a digital output. You can claim all day that you knew what it was all about, but you couldn't answer a single question about it at the time. And of course after having it
explained to you a dozen times you say that you could have written it yourself. I doubt that, even though it was the simplest possible program.

What's even funnier is your attempt to cast doubt on the fact that I was injured. Whatever would be your gain from that? That I was really whole and my proclamations during that time, concerning your lies, were absolutely true?

Your problem is that you cannot stand people that can see through you. It hampers your bullshit like your 200 miles in a day rides.

I've been getting those too. But you can recognize them by the false return address. And toll sends you a letter and not an email.

Gee, ya don't say!

<snipped self-aggrandizing bullshit>

Let's remember that Flunky told us that he has an EE but
he couldn't understand a simple C program that did nothing
but flash lights.

Let's remember that no matter how many times you tell that
lie, it will never become true.

And it was explained in the comments!

The same comments which listed the microcontroller and
peripheral A/D part numbers, which you were completely
unaware was contained in the comments, and couldn't explain
why an external 24-bit A/D was used when the 10-bit A/D
integral to the microcontroller would have been more than
accurate enough for the application.

Even a technician worth half a shit would have seen that,
but it was news to tommy, who allegedly wrote the code.

While Frank did hold a useful and necessary position, he
too had problems working a real job.

no, he didn't. That's another kunich lie. The person who had
problems working real jobs is the guy that has 20 jobs
listed over 20 years on his resume.

Should we say that these people were better educated than
someone who became wealthy being asigned jobs by PhD's who
managed them?

And who would that be? The same guy whose been claiming make
over $10K a month on a million dollar investment for the
past 5 years that's still only worth a million?

We cannot deny that education is the key to success but
education actually worked for is a lot better than
education supposedly received when actually avoiding the
draft and paying not the slightest attention to anything
that he hadn't already taught himself as a high school
student.

And who would that be? The same guy that joined the airforce
to avoid the draft, didn't "realize" he had enough credits
to graduate high school so he took the military GED, then
claims to have "read out" three libraries?

So I almost fell for a scam but could tell a scam from the
real thing as soon as it was p-laced. Don't let yourself
be conned in the same manner.

I'm gonna make a general statement and suggest no one in
this forum besides you would have even gotten past the point
where someone claiming to be a CEO called them with a job
offer.

My standard response to spam calls is, "We're happy to help.
Can we start with your personal card number and home
shipping address?".

As is mine. But he asked all of the normal interview questions before the kicker. All of the Tesla self driving accidents have been because of the sensor array not being sensitive enough and my curiosity was first arroused when I said that the sensors
needed to be improved and he said something about a visual array which is pretty crude on the Tesla. Mostly Tesla uses high pitched sounds above the hearing range (ultrasound) Through air these travel around 740 mph. Approaching objects shift the sound
to a higher frequency (Doppler Effect) so that you can detect the rate of closing. Comparing this to the speed of the vehicle you would know that you have to adjust your speed or change its path. Unfortunately the Tesla array misses objects that are too
narrow such as the V in an approaching exit which is too close to the ground.

In any case - as the "interview" went on, I became more and more skeptical that it was and intview until that scam hit. Then I simply blocked him. I am getting a lot of job offers but most of them are insane locations like Toledoi or Austin or Phoenix.
Abbott is local but isn't much of a challenge. Tesla could have been but wasn't real.

True. I have enough money to live comfortably, but not enough to risk
the capital on investments. Unfortunately, inflation had severely
devalued my savings. Investing might have helped, but I'm not willing
to take the risks involved.

I don't understand what you're trying to say. Are you claiming that
I'm gullible and therefore a poor investor? There's no connection
that I can see.

You're not even a self-trained engineer. Over the years, you've
demonstrated a general lack of computational and analytical abilities
in many aspects of engineering, electronics, physics, finance, etc.
Maybe you can program microprocessor firmware, but in engineering,
you're not sufficiently educated. Still pushing your claim that PWM
is used to test cables? Have you fixed your arithmetic for counting
the percentage of votes for each party in the 2024 election?

I like this amazing fact:
08/14/2023 <https://groups.google.com/g/rec.bicycles.tech/c/kWFZ7_kUImI/m/ASDKnmbMBAAJ> "the best measure of horsepower is speed"
Horsepower is a measure of power, which is the rate at which work is
done.

Ummm... I'm an EE and I don't know how to program in C. Are you
saying that in order to be considered an engineer, C programming is a required skill?

Gibberish. I can't decode that mess. Instead of comma splice (with
the commas missing), write something that can be understood.

Not a problem. I don't believe anything you say so I'm not likely to
be mislead by someone claiming to rub elbows with CEO's, politicians, investment brokers and VIP's.

Liebermann, word salads get you nowhere. Where is your resume and recommendsations? And YES modern electronics is virtually all digital and to be an EE you have to be able to program in C or another major programming language as you have proven with your
lack of a career.

Since you don't know the difference between a law of physics and application of it, no one should be surprised that you cannot tell that the direct application of horsepower is speed.

Jeff, stop trying to be an expert. You aren't and you're not fooling anyone. And pulling a Krygowski and complaijning that I'm not using correct punctuation simply makes you look the fool you are.
