And now we can possibly put into context the CIA noticing that informants were going missing. Did TFG sell them out? https://thehill.com/policy/national-security/575384-cia-admits-to-losing-dozens-of-informants-around-the-world-nyt/ https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/26/us/politics/trump-affidavit-intelligence-spies.html

(Chad) Heartily endorse. He had some awesome collaborators.

Trump who is only marginally literate apparently disliked reading anything much at all. He was said to be particularly averse to reading PDF documents on a laptop, or any sort of Kindle type reader - which is relevant here, because the PDB or ‘Presidential Daily Brief’ was delivered as an encrypted electronic ‘black book’ from 2014 onwards. CIA and DNI staff apparently resorted to putting pictures and flattering references to the POTUS into the PDB to try and draw his interest. They also reportedly followed a proforma of - ‘No longer than one page and a maximum of 8 bullet points’. Trump always preferred to have paper documents that he could scribble on with a sharpie, or rip up if they displeased him. As John Bolton who was his NSA recently recounted, the POTUS was also prone to simply walk out of briefings clutching whatever document he had just been given. A Wikipedia article suggests that president G.W.Bush attended to 86% of his PDBs, Obama attended 43.8% of his PDBs, and Trump typically read his PDB about once a week. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President's_Daily_Brief

A scatter gun from Australia. We have reasonably reliable (though that may be changing) monsoon rains in the north. We also have regular flooding in Queensland (north east state) where rains fall on the west side of the Great Divide (main mountain range running more or less north south inside the coast) and there is basically no falls for rivers/ Hence "the channel country". I remember one year where the town of Nyngan (NSW) was in drought. Then finally the flood waters reached and Nyngan was in Flood. Two weeks later back to drought as the floods moved on. One attempt to collect the monsoons was the Old River scheme (Western Australia in the north) which has so far proven too remote from the rest of the country for farm productivity to overcome transport cost. Infrastructure and not just the dams themselves but the transport - pipes, pumps etc, is a commercial issue for sure. In Sydney there is a desalination system with little to do other than during heavy drought. I often wondered why keep running it and pipe over the Blue Mountains (that Great Divide again) into the Turon River. It isn't that far. 200 - 250km? That is an early tributary to the Murray, huge water resource problems and travels all the way through Australia to discharge into the southern Ocean near Adelaide in South Australia. It costs a fortune to have the de-sal in stand by, just keep it running. Here in Brisbane or more accurately SEQ (South East Queensland) they have connected the productive dams in the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast (south and north) to the main but largely non-productive damn in the Brisbane Valley. They can then shunt water from where it lands to where it doesn't. But that is nothing like as bold or expensive as connecting to the the northern monsoon.

At the point of transaction / money exchange, if the vendor has what they want at the right price.

1: the question " What market are you talking about?" The answer: read "I think that the markets require directional corrections and tweaks " 2: the question "That's a doctrine exactly as effective as the divine right of kings" Answer: Occurrences of blind adherence to the doctrine have shaped the modern history of humanity. 3: the question " Best in what sense? By what underlying principle or desired outcome - and desired by whom, for whose benefit?" Answer: read " I could also foresee that the governments would become over-reliant on such systems and neglect the human filtering and triaging of such algorithmic ai decisions. Suggesting that ai systems need to be programmed in such a way to achieve the desired outcome to that end read my signature below :0)
