    Your comments above seem to be in response to my comments of April 10, approximately 10 months ago. Endless repetition of your insults and accusations don't seem to provide you with whatever you're craving and
    I'm not interested in being involved. Long delays in responding do
    not provide you with a positive impression. If you can't recognize
    the truth when you read it from multiple sources, you're likely beyond
    any possibility of redemption. That should give you additional time
    to learn how to operate a news reader and to read a calendar.

    lol...yeah, like that would happen...

    The problem is that he has never worked as an electronics engineer and opretends that he's an EE. He isn't,

    much more so that you ever claimed to be.

    Furthermoew, he has never been to any of the places he is telling you about and I have. He doesn't ride a bike and I do. So how is it that he believes that he can correct me about places I ride when he knows nothing about them?

    Because we don't need to have been to the moon to know it isn't made of cheese. The misinformation you consistently post is easily verifiable
    and equally easily refutable. No one needs to have gone to cull canyon
    to know that cattle grazing had no influence on the reservoir or it
    would have been mentioned in the environmental reports posted on-line.
    No one needs to have ridden to Moraga to be know that it hasn't gone
    below freezing there in the past ten years - historical data is
    available. No one needs to have ever assembled a bicycle to know that
    cranks arms falling off are not a common occurrence for anyone with any competence whatsoever.


    Right above he claimss that I am trying to gain attention when I am reporting on what I am doing with bicycles on a bicycle site,

    Because what you post is always what you did and what you think, Which
    is - by definition - seeking attention. You rarely post generic
    technical messages which are intended to inform and invoke conversation
    - every post you make is "me, I, me, I".......

    Clearly it is he who is the attention seeker since he is "correcting" my truthful claims about bicycle tech.

    Your "truthful" claims about bike tech have the frequency of a broken
    clock. Jeff is providing an informative service to those who might think
    you have a fucking clue.

    Just the other day he was telling you all about my Strava reports when I allow no followers,

    Which is yet another glaring example of your gross incompetence and
    ignorance and belies the truth about your claims to have been a genius software engineer - Your strava account is visible to anyone with a
    their own strava account you dumbass. I don't need to follow you to be
    able to see that you rode 26.41 miles in 2 hours and 18 minutes past the airport and around San Leandro Bay yesterday.


    Liebermann is sick and there's no cure

    He admits his maladies freely.

    for someone that has to be the smartest man in the room

    No, tommy, that you be your claim.

    when he is a moron, Sitting on my ass this last year my investments made me $100,000 dollars.

    Which we all know is a lie because......

    Liebermann says that he doesn't believe it because he has never made real enbgineering wages. He wants me to give him my investment account ID.

    You've been saying that you make over $10K a month for the past 8 years.
    If that were true you'd be worth well over $3 million now based on the
    first available claim you made to the effect that you were worth over a million 8 years ago. Yet, you still claim to only be worth just over $1 million. That would mean you're spending over $10K a month - we know you aren't. Therefore, the claim that your worth $1m is due almost
    exclusively to the value of your house, and you're living hand-to-mouth
    on your SSI, as you blatantly stated in the forum many years ago.



    He was "fact checking" me every day about Covid-19 when he knows NOTHING whatsoever about medicine.

    Neither do you, and every claim you've ever made about covid is wrong.

    ALL of the "fact check" sites he was using proved to be 100% wrong.

    Very few of them are wrong.

    Wikipedia was so horribly wrong that they are nearly bankrupt and begging for donations.

    Wikipedia is and always has been a completely non-profit and commercial
    free website that exists solely on donations. You have yet to ever prove
    a wikipedia article wrong, and even yourself used wikipedia on a vapid
    and desperate attempt to claim that the grand tours are considered
    classics. Of course wikipedia didn't say that, but - as with so many
    links you post to support your claims, they either don't mention what
    you're claiming or actually contradict your claim

    Should we pay the slightest attention at all of what Liebermann says?

    Hmmm....Should we pay attention to someone who consistency backs up his
    claims with verifiable references, or someone who makes wild claims with
    no references?

    You seem to think that he is correct that I am an attention seeker by posting bicycle things on a bicycle site.

    We do.

    So I have to ask why you are posting here at all?

    Because its fun watching you squirm.

    Because its fun watching you squirm.
    Flunky, I have no doubt that you were hired as a degreed EE because they need you to sign off paperwork. But stop pretending that you could design anything. When I put that small section of C program up it was entirely Greek to you and all it did was flash a red/green LED to show charge level of a battery. Then you give me that BS "no one ever complained about my software before". Who did you think you were fooling?
    I was a good engineer doing important work and showed letters of recommendation proving it and was paid accordingly, All you've been able to do is whine that you don't believe it as if that effects my net worth! I suggest that you support Liebermann because you admire his intellect. You think that a man that took six years to get a four year degree is smart even though he never worked a single day as an engineer.
    You are welcome on a bicycle group because you ride bicycles and occasionally have something of interest to say. Liebermann may have ridden a commuter but that was so long ago he thinks that pile of rusty broken down garbage, he showed us a picture of, represents something that Andrew would ride. The ONLY thing that Liebermann has said concerning bicycles is to contradict me about things that occured on my rides in places where he has never been and has no way of knowing about.
    You supporting a jackass like that doesn't say much for you. It is time to grow up and admit your own failings. Although I cannnot remembe what was going on for the two years after my concussion I expect I was a prize asshole, but that was then and this is now. I am back to riding and building bikes and you are telling us about "virtual rides". That's OK, but please don't pretend that they are the same thing as actually riding out in open air and hedwinds.

    first available claim you made to the effect that you were worth over a
    million 8 years ago. Yet, you still claim to only be worth just over $1
    million. That would mean you're spending over $10K a month - we know you
    aren't. Therefore, the claim that your worth $1m is due almost
    exclusively to the value of your house, and you're living hand-to-mouth
    on your SSI, as you blatantly stated in the forum many years ago.



    He was "fact checking" me every day about Covid-19 when he knows NOTHING whatsoever about medicine.

    Neither do you, and every claim you've ever made about covid is wrong.

    ALL of the "fact check" sites he was using proved to be 100% wrong.

    Very few of them are wrong.

    Wikipedia was so horribly wrong that they are nearly bankrupt and begging for donations.

    Wikipedia is and always has been a completely non-profit and commercial
    free website that exists solely on donations. You have yet to ever prove
    a wikipedia article wrong, and even yourself used wikipedia on a vapid
    and desperate attempt to claim that the grand tours are considered
    classics. Of course wikipedia didn't say that, but - as with so many
    links you post to support your claims, they either don't mention what
    you're claiming or actually contradict your claim

    Should we pay the slightest attention at all of what Liebermann says?

    Hmmm....Should we pay attention to someone who consistency backs up his
    claims with verifiable references, or someone who makes wild claims with
    no references?

    You seem to think that he is correct that I am an attention seeker by posting bicycle things on a bicycle site.

    We do.

    So I have to ask why you are posting here at all?

    Because its fun watching you squirm.




    Flunky, I have no doubt that you were hired as a degreed EE because they need you to sign off paperwork. But stop pretending that you could design anything. When I put that small section of C program up it was entirely Greek to you and all it did was flash a red/green LED to show charge level of a battery. Then you give me that BS "no one ever complained about my software before". Who did you think you were fooling?

    I was a good engineer doing important work and showed letters of recommendation proving it and was paid accordingly, All you've been able to do is whine that you don't believe it as if that effects my net worth! I suggest that you support Liebermann because you admire his intellect. You think that a man that took six years to get a four year degree is smart even though he never worked a single day as an engineer.

    You are welcome on a bicycle group because you ride bicycles and occasionally have something of interest to say. Liebermann may have ridden a commuter but that was so long ago he thinks that pile of rusty broken down garbage, he showed us a picture of, represents something that Andrew would ride. The ONLY thing that Liebermann has said concerning bicycles is to contradict me about things that occured on my rides in places where he has never been and has no way of knowing about.

    You supporting a jackass like that doesn't say much for you. It is time to grow up and admit your own failings. Although I cannnot remembe what was going on for the two years after my concussion I expect I was a prize asshole, but that was then and this is now. I am back to riding and building bikes and you are telling us about "virtual rides". That's OK, but please don't pretend that they are the same thing as actually riding out in open air and hedwinds.



    It's regrettable that you don't have a parking lot and 150
    feet of sidewalk to shovel clear of snow. Does wonders for
    contemplation. Very calming.

    If he was only correcting my misinformation I wouldn't have anything to say, would I?

    lol...yeah, like that would happen...

    The problem is that he has never worked as an electronics engineer
    and opretends that he's an EE. He isn't,

    much more so that you ever claimed to be.

    Furthermoew, he has never been to any of the places he is telling you >>>>> about and I have. He doesn't ride a bike and I do. So how is it that >>>>> he believes that he can correct me about places I ride when he knows >>>>> nothing about them?

    Because we don't need to have been to the moon to know it isn't made of
    cheese. The misinformation you consistently post is easily verifiable
    and equally easily refutable. No one needs to have gone to cull canyon
    to know that cattle grazing had no influence on the reservoir or it
    would have been mentioned in the environmental reports posted on-line.
    No one needs to have ridden to Moraga to be know that it hasn't gone
    below freezing there in the past ten years - historical data is
    available. No one needs to have ever assembled a bicycle to know that
    cranks arms falling off are not a common occurrence for anyone with any
    competence whatsoever.


    Right above he claimss that I am trying to gain attention when I am
    reporting on what I am doing with bicycles on a bicycle site,

    Because what you post is always what you did and what you think, Which
    is - by definition - seeking attention. You rarely post generic

    - every post you make is "me, I, me, I".......

    Clearly it is he who is the attention seeker since he is "correcting" >>>>> my truthful claims about bicycle tech.

    Your "truthful" claims about bike tech have the frequency of a broken

    Just the other day he was telling you all about my Strava reports
    when I allow no followers,

    Which is yet another glaring example of your gross incompetence and
    ignorance and belies the truth about your claims to have been a genius
    software engineer - Your strava account is visible to anyone with a
    their own strava account you dumbass. I don't need to follow you to be

    Liebermann is sick and there's no cure

    No, tommy, that you be your claim.

    when he is a moron, Sitting on my ass this last year my investments

    No, but they can confer the title. I've worked with two non-degreed
    engineers in the past, both had engineering titles and responsibilities. Those were both in private companies where they were "individual contributors". I doubt either of them would have been promoted to any
    senior engineering or management role without degrees.

    There's no law or rule in the US saying you can't be an engineer unless
    you have a degree, but there are certain restrictions for what public
    roles can be given to engineers, depending on which state you live in.
    This especially applies to Civil or Electrical Engineering on public infrastructure projects.
    Ineed, there are laws restricting the USE of engineering titles for a very limited number of public works positions, but those are entirely made up by degreed engineers. It is in their best interest to limit access to certain jobs. My lungs were burned from poison gas because TWO PhD physicistgs couldn't figure out that you calculate poison gas density with a calculation for volume rather than spatual area. Are those the types of degreed physicists you would like protecting your life? Or would you prefer a non-degreed engineer that can tell the difference?
    Now, indeed there are some engineers who would be desireable to use on some projects, but consider putting Liebermann designing a project that you had all of your money invested in? Quite unfortunsately for Liebermann he stopped learning in middle school and spent his time in college telling his instructors that they diden't know what they were talking about. Consider Frank - his entire career was assigning students work out of textbooks written by someone else. Of course that is an important job. But it most certainly doesn't require the same knowledge as actually designing things. That is what poor Frank couldn't understand.
    You and Liebermann are pretending that there mere acquasition of a degree makes you smart merely because it is in your best interest to pretend so. Elon Musk was never that silly. He judges people by their merit. And that makes him one of the richest people in the world.
    Whereas I rose to a pretty high position including engineering management, I could always recognize the engineers that were better than me in any particular area.

    They could have simply appointed any of the other EEs to do that,
    dumbass, The amount of paperwork I actually have to sign off takes a few minutes a month, they didn't need to hire someone specifically for the
    job. One of the reasons I was hired was for my demonstrated ability to understand and negotiate complex Hazardous Location regulatory
    requirements and interpret them for new designs. When I took the job
    they had a contractor with 40 years experience doing the work. He told
    me it was a 60 hour-per-week job. He wasn't wrong.

    But stop pretending that you
    could design anything.

    I never needed to pretend, my career successes speak for them selves.

    When I put that small section of C program up
    it was entirely Greek to you and all it did was flash a red/green LED
    to show charge level of a battery.

    No matter how many times you tell that lie, it will never become true.
    When I challenged you on the design architecture, you had no clue where
    I even got the information that you were using a 24 bit ADC in a program
    you _allegedly_ wrote. The short answer was that you didn't really write
    it. You may have loaded it into the PIC18F45 (entry-level technician
    work), but you certainly didn't write it. If you had, you would have
    been able to tell me why you needed a peripheral device with 24 bits of resolution when the 10 bit ADC integrated into the uC was more than
    adequate for that application and would have reduced system complexity.

    No, your answer was that you 'didn't design the hardware'. Sorry sparky,
    a real software engineer understand the design requirements for the
    system they are coding. The pretender here is you, as you've
    demonstrated repeatedly in this forum.

    Then you give me that BS "no one
    ever complained about my software before".

    No, I never wrote anything even remotely resembling that. I could see
    that you never wrote that code, called you out on it, and now you
    repeated lie about it.

    Who did you think you were
    fooling?

    unlike you, I don't need to fool anyone

    I was a good engineer

    bullshit

    doing important work

    bullshit

    and showed letters of
    recommendation proving it and was paid accordingly,

    I do know you were paid according to what they thought you were worth
    when they hired you - typical engineering salaries which were at the
    time less than half of what you're claiming.

    I also know you were grossly overpaid based on your demonstrated abilities.

    I also know you horribly mismanaged (in no small part due to your
    alcoholism) such that you now live exclusively on SSI, as you admitted
    in this forum before creating fantasy tales of investment successes.

    In short, you're a broken, broke, old, little, bitch.

    All you've been
    able to do is whine that you don't believe it as if that effects my
    net worth!

    The whining in this forum is your lies about how rich you are.

    I suggest that you support Liebermann because you admire
    his intellect.

    I do consider him to be of much higher than average intelligence,
    certainly well above your station.

    You think that a man that took six years to get a four
    year degree is smart

    Well, it took me 8 because I went to school nights. Gee, dumbass, how
    long did it take you to get your EE degree?

    oh, right, you don't have one.

    oh, right, you did claim to have some 4 year degree from a community
    college that doesn't give 4 year degrees, that you earned in 4 years
    while going nights while working full-time. Suuuuuure......

    even though he never worked a single day as an
    engineer.
    Again, no matter how many times you tell that lie, it will never become
    true. Jeff has literally talked technical circles around you.

    You are welcome on a bicycle group because you ride bicycles and
    occasionally have something of interest to say.

    You are in no way qualified to pass judgment on anyone's worth in this
    forum, mr "me, I, me, I...."

    Liebermann may have
    ridden a commuter but that was so long ago he thinks that pile of
    rusty broken down garbage, he showed us a picture of, represents
    something that Andrew would ride.

    I'm willing to bet not one of jeffs bikes never had the risk of a crank
    arm falling off after he worked on it.

    The ONLY thing that Liebermann has
    said concerning bicycles is to contradict me about things that occured
    on my rides in places where he has never been and has no way of
    knowing about.

    More lies, tommy....tsk tsk tsk.....


    You supporting a jackass like that doesn't say much for you.

    Way better than supporting a jackass like you.

    It is
    time to grow up and admit your own failings.

    lol....o the irony!

    Although I cannnot
    remembe what was going on for the two years after my concussion I
    expect I was a prize asshole, but that was then and this is now.

    And the difference _now_ would be......?

    I am
    back to riding and building bikes and you are telling us about
    "virtual rides".

    Yup, because someone needs to inform you of how things work in the
    modern world, mr "light lines"

    That's OK, but please don't pretend that they are the
    same thing as actually riding out in open air and hedwinds.

    Care to point out where I ever claimed that? Indoor training is almost a requirement in new england winters (Kudos to Andrew and his hardy band
    of merry cyclists for braving the North Plain winter). Besides that, my
    strava account clearly shows regular and productive outdoor rides once
    the weather cooperates. If you weren't such an ignorant arrogant buffoon
    you'd be able to see that.

    I can recommend some volunteer opportunities if all you have to

    If he was only correcting my misinformation I wouldn't have
    anything to say, would I?

    lol...yeah, like that would happen...

    The problem is that he has never worked as an electronics engineer
    and opretends that he's an EE. He isn't,

    much more so that you ever claimed to be.

    Furthermoew, he has never been to any of the places he is telling
    you about and I have. He doesn't ride a bike and I do. So how is it >>>>> that he believes that he can correct me about places I ride when he >>>>> knows nothing about them?

    Because we don't need to have been to the moon to know it isn't made of
    cheese. The misinformation you consistently post is easily verifiable
    and equally easily refutable. No one needs to have gone to cull canyon
    to know that cattle grazing had no influence on the reservoir or it
    would have been mentioned in the environmental reports posted on-line.
    No one needs to have ridden to Moraga to be know that it hasn't gone
    below freezing there in the past ten years - historical data is
    available. No one needs to have ever assembled a bicycle to know that
    cranks arms falling off are not a common occurrence for anyone with any
    competence whatsoever.


    Right above he claimss that I am trying to gain attention when I am >>>>> reporting on what I am doing with bicycles on a bicycle site,

    Because what you post is always what you did and what you think, Which
    is - by definition - seeking attention. You rarely post generic
    technical messages which are intended to inform and invoke conversation
    - every post you make is "me, I, me, I".......

    Clearly it is he who is the attention seeker since he is
    "correcting" my truthful claims about bicycle tech.

    Your "truthful" claims about bike tech have the frequency of a broken
    clock. Jeff is providing an informative service to those who might think >>> you have a fucking clue.

    Just the other day he was telling you all about my Strava reports
    when I allow no followers,

    Which is yet another glaring example of your gross incompetence and
    ignorance and belies the truth about your claims to have been a genius
    software engineer - Your strava account is visible to anyone with a
    their own strava account you dumbass. I don't need to follow you to be
    able to see that you rode 26.41 miles in 2 hours and 18 minutes past the >>> airport and around San Leandro Bay yesterday.


    Liebermann is sick and there's no cure

    He admits his maladies freely.

    for someone that has to be the smartest man in the room

    No, tommy, that you be your claim.

    when he is a moron, Sitting on my ass this last year my investments >>>>> made me $100,000 dollars.

    Which we all know is a lie because......

    Liebermann says that he doesn't believe it because he has never
    made real enbgineering wages. He wants me to give him my investment >>>>> account ID.

    You've been saying that you make over $10K a month for the past 8 years. >>> If that were true you'd be worth well over $3 million now based on the
    first available claim you made to the effect that you were worth over a
    million 8 years ago. Yet, you still claim to only be worth just over $1
    million. That would mean you're spending over $10K a month - we know you >>> aren't. Therefore, the claim that your worth $1m is due almost
    exclusively to the value of your house, and you're living hand-to-mouth
    on your SSI, as you blatantly stated in the forum many years ago.



    He was "fact checking" me every day about Covid-19 when he knows
    NOTHING whatsoever about medicine.

    Neither do you, and every claim you've ever made about covid is wrong.

    ALL of the "fact check" sites he was using proved to be 100% wrong.

    Very few of them are wrong.

    Wikipedia was so horribly wrong that they are nearly bankrupt and
    begging for donations.

    Wikipedia is and always has been a completely non-profit and commercial
    free website that exists solely on donations. You have yet to ever prove >>> a wikipedia article wrong, and even yourself used wikipedia on a vapid
    and desperate attempt to claim that the grand tours are considered
    classics. Of course wikipedia didn't say that, but - as with so many
    links you post to support your claims, they either don't mention what
    you're claiming or actually contradict your claim

    Should we pay the slightest attention at all of what Liebermann says?

    Hmmm....Should we pay attention to someone who consistency backs up his
    claims with verifiable references, or someone who makes wild claims with >>> no references?

    You seem to think that he is correct that I am an attention seeker
    by posting bicycle things on a bicycle site.

    We do.

    So I have to ask why you are posting here at all?

    Because its fun watching you squirm.




    Flunky, I have no doubt that you were hired as a degreed EE because
    they need you to sign off paperwork. But stop pretending that you
    could design anything. When I put that small section of C program up
    it was entirely Greek to you and all it did was flash a red/green LED

    It's regrettable that you don't have a parking lot and 150 feet of
    sidewalk to shovel clear of snow. Does wonders for contemplation. Very calming.


    Tommy is too burdened with self-loathing to to consider such socratic or

    You're no doubt correct. But I don't deny that Flunky has a good reason to ride indoors on a trainer, more that he shouldnj't be comparing a trainer to real riding.
    What the hell is Liebermann posting on a bicycle group for anyway? Virtully every posting he makes is pure BS. Flunky supporting this non-cyclist doesn't say much for his sensibilities.

    dumbass, The amount of paperwork I actually have to sign off takes a few minutes a month, they didn't need to hire someone specifically for the
    job. One of the reasons I was hired was for my demonstrated ability to understand and negotiate complex Hazardous Location regulatory
    requirements and interpret them for new designs. When I took the job
    they had a contractor with 40 years experience doing the work. He told
    me it was a 60 hour-per-week job. He wasn't wrong.

    I never needed to pretend, my career successes speak for them selves.

    No matter how many times you tell that lie, it will never become true.
    When I challenged you on the design architecture, you had no clue where
    I even got the information that you were using a 24 bit ADC in a program
    you _allegedly_ wrote. The short answer was that you didn't really write
    it. You may have loaded it into the PIC18F45 (entry-level technician
    work), but you certainly didn't write it. If you had, you would have
    been able to tell me why you needed a peripheral device with 24 bits of resolution when the 10 bit ADC integrated into the uC was more than
    adequate for that application and would have reduced system complexity.

    No, your answer was that you 'didn't design the hardware'. Sorry sparky,
    a real software engineer understand the design requirements for the
    system they are coding. The pretender here is you, as you've
    demonstrated repeatedly in this forum.

    Then you give me that BS "no one
    ever complained about my software before".

    No, I never wrote anything even remotely resembling that. I could see
    that you never wrote that code, called you out on it, and now you
    repeated lie about it.
    So you finally come clean about why your on the group continuously all day long and long after you've gone home. And then you told us that you're married!
    You don't even begin to understand software and then tell everyone that I am not a software engineer AFTER you and Liebermann complained that Dr.Michael McCown only wrote a recomendation for my software engineering. Have you even once listened to yourself?
    And those were your EXACT words about your software abilities. Is Dimentia creping up on you?
    As for salary: Here is an offer I got as only one among many. Another was only $74/hr. Do you know how to calculate annual pay from that? Justr because you're earning minimum wage doesn't mean that real engineers are.

    No, I don't know that. Dramatic video though.

    In US law and most countries, (don't know India laws) if
    the plans were sufficient but the actual build wasn't to the
    plan, both contractors and inspectors are liable. An
    example is the failure of rail bridges under the Shinkansen
    tracks during a Japanese earthquake. The concrete forms had
    been filled with debris, saving concrete expense, and the
    contractor is in prison for life.

    My point was that a competent engineer (I did not mention
    degrees or licenses) is charged with signing off on plans of
    sufficient design. He ought to know enough to know, which is
    a high bar IMHO.

    Andrew, I worked for 50 years as an EE and only ONCE was required to supply documentation other than construction plans or software.

    Tom, you did NOT work as an EE for 50 years. The first job on your
    online resume: <https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-kunich-22012/details/experience/>
    started in Jan 1984. Your most recent job ended in Sept 2014. Between
    those two dates, you worked for: <https://www.timeanddate.com/date/duration.html>
    30 years and 8 months. All of your 13 jobs listed have "engineer"
    tacked onto the end of the title, even if the job description appears
    to be mostly programming.

    It's probably true that nobody asked you for documentation, plans, or
    software because you didn't work alone on anything. If you worked on
    a project that involved more than just yourself, there would
    considerable documentation moving between the members of the team.

    And that single case was NASA and they did NOT require that I have a degree.

    At which of the 13 jobs listed on your resume did you work for or at
    NASA? While your at it, where are the listings for your alleged
    employment at ETEC, <https://groups.google.com/g/rec.bicycles.tech/c/9WEuMylDquc/m/Guv7NHdsAwAJ> "The poison gas detector for the military was subcontracted to ETEC
    and the communications converter card for NASA was subcontracted to
    Datum or Tality."
    Note that ETEC is "Edward Teller Education Center" at LLNL (Lawrence
    Livermore National Laboratory). ETEC's mission was to provide
    professional development programs for middle and high school science
    teachers. Somehow, that doesn't quite fit with a poison gas detector
    for the military.

    Are you too under the impression that a degree automatically gives you merit?

    Many employers seem to think that's true. NASA does not require a
    degree. I'm not sure how well that's working out for NASA.

    Ask yourself why Liebermann never worked one day as an EE when he has a degree. From his comments he didn't even qualify as an electronics technician in the old Silicon Valley.

    That's wrong, but does fit Tom's discussion template.

    Is he still alive? I've asked you this question three time. Each
    time you ignored my question. His recommendation is still on your
    resume and on his LinkedIn page. There has been no activity since
    about 2011: <https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-kunich-22012/details/recommendations/> <https://www.linkedin.com/in/doc0949/>

    No, you didn't. We have documentation from the 1970s showing you worked
    as a technician and you installed telephones for a while. Nether are EE positions.

    and only ONCE was required to supply documentation other than construction plans or software.

    Which alone tells me you're completely full of shit.

    Are you too under the impression that a degree automatically gives you merit?


    Most employers agree. TRy getting past the front door for a job
    advertised as "BSEE or equivalent experience" without a degree. I know
    you claim to have been very successful at it - I ain't buyin' it.


    Ask yourself why Liebermann never worked one day as an EE when he has a degree.

    Andrew would be asking a question based on a false first premise. No
    matter how many times you tell that lie, it will never become true.

    From his comments he didn't even qualify as an electronics technician in the old Silicon Valley.

    And that "conclusion" is based on your demonstrably false
    "understanding" of electronic theory such as PWM vs TDR.

    I probably do so more than you, since you don't even understand code you allegedly wrote.

    and then tell everyone that I am not a software engineer AFTER you and Liebermann complained that Dr.Michael McCown only wrote a recomendation for my software engineering.

    Someone who in this very forum that they thought calculating average
    speed was a complex algorithm and couldn't understand how sample rate
    can show an increasing average speed with a decreasing current speed
    doesn't have "an intuitive grasp of concepts of differential and
    integral calculus and the ability to express these concepts in the form
    of software and firmware products. "

    Have you even once listened to yourself?

    We know you have never done either.
