'I'm Not A Nazi,' Trump Tells US Campaign Rally

By AFP

October 28, 2024

Donald Trump told campaign supporters Monday in swing state Georgia that he is "not a Nazi," pushing back on critics' accusations that the Republican is seeking to be an authoritarian American leader.

"I'm not a Nazi. I'm the opposite of a Nazi," Trump told a boisterous crowd in Atlanta, one day after he held a mega-rally in New York's famed Madison Square Garden that was widely condemned for racist remarks that his allies made during the event.

Mr. Bloomberg, who is 82 years old and has an estimated net worth of $105 billion, is the second largest disclosed individual donor to Democrats in this election cycle, after the investor and philanthropist George Soros. But publicly, Democrats observed that Mr. Bloomberg was donating nowhere close to what he had spent during the presidency of Donald J. Trump.

The $47 million he had given in federally disclosed political contributions during this election cycle, before his new nonprofit donation, was less than half of the $95 million he disclosed to help Democrats retake Congress in the 2018 midterms.

Look at this "journalism"...

When Mr. Bloomberg ran for president in 2020, he spent $1.1 billion in a real-world experiment on whether enormous money could buy votes. It couldn’t. He got creamed in the Democratic primaries.

A creepy, unelectable billionaire spent a zillion dollars and lost is proof of nothing. And to say in general that money doesn't influence elections is insane.

The following is from the article but I edited it so much by moving sentences around I decided not to use the quote tag.

The number is two to the 136,279,841st power minus one. Luke Durant is a 36-year-old programmer retired from chipmaker Nvidia in 2021. The discovery was the result of almost exactly one year of work and about $2 million of Durant’s own money. He used the GPUs, the technology he had a hand in developing at Nvidia. A typical CPU would take a week or two to test a number to see whether it is prime. It takes GPUs about a day or two.

Durant, a graduate of the California Institute of Technology, found the new prime number using only publicly available unused cloud storage space. Durant, who made his money off the boom, said he put his time and money into the project to show people that they aren’t helpless to technology giants and that we can figure out massive problems if we work together. He said...

"Individuals today are dramatically more capable than any point in history. The scale of computing available in the cloud, it’s nearly unfathomable. I was able to find this number that’s astonishingly large … but I was able to do it just by using big tech’s leftovers. So it’s trying to [highlight the fact that] we have these incredible systems, so let’s figure out how to best use them."

Woltman said about 3,000 to 5,000 volunteers have downloaded a piece of software that tasks unused space on their computers to crunch these numbers in the background.
