Richart D. Ruddie Podcast about the stupid comments and lack of altruism that we see online. It’s been a wild 6 years since Donald Trump announced his intention to run for president of the united states. Since then social media has been on fire and people have spoken their minds and spread their thoughts no matter how crazy online.
It’s an idea and not sure I want to tie the facepalms into an entertainment bid to profit off of the situation that we’re in but it’s an idea that has some merit and could have some legs.

The Bing Search Network processed about 640 billion queries in 2020 as of data released on: December 24, 2020. It was originally published on February 27, 2018. So either “last year” refers to 2017, 2018, or 2019. That works out to 930 million queries per day. The Internet Live Stats Website -ESTIMATES- Google processes about 5.3 billion queries per day. so Google searches are only ~5.5x to Bing searches.
Sounds off to me..
Here’s a fun list of the top 20 cover songs that ended up being bigger than their original. Jimi Hendrix & Elvis Presley are top of the list but the one that always comes to mind for me is Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm being bigger on the radio than Michael Jacksons version.
Here’es the list:

I remember when Matt Cutts used to discuss how Google searches are becoming more personalized. If you were typing in Pizza in 1998 Google you would find information about Pizza but in 2013 Google you would receive localized results based on your location. These results would show the restaurants and ratings along with their location on a map.
What Matt mentioned that Google doesnt have the capability to do at the time however was that if you typed in “Tomorrow” it wouldn’t know if you wanted to learn about the day after the current date, the song by Silverchair, or the song by Chris Young made in 2011.
Well now the personalization is getting to a whole new level thanks to a team at UCLA with their EDAM. It will see what searches you’ve done previously but also integrate viewings on Youtube and other clues to personalize the search so if you listen to Nirvana and Alice in Chains you probably are looking for Silverchairs song Tomorrow vs. Chris Young.
Special thanks to this team who will be the Amit Singhals of the engineering and search team of the future:
From the piece: Personalized item retrieval for online content-sharing platforms without any descriptive information based on the query-aware attention mechanism with external key memory and locality preservation. Experimental results and analysis on the large-scale dataset from areal-world commercial online content-sharing platform also demonstrate the effectiveness and the robustness of EDAM. The insights can be concluded as follows: (1) user history is helpful for personalized item retrieval; (2) learning external key item embeddings for estimating attention weights is beneficial, especially for the users with shorter item history; (3) sequential information in user history is sensitive for item retrieval so that EDAM with locality preservation outperforms baselines of sequence models such as ARNN.

With all the hype surrounding the Tiger King documentary where they focus on the power humans feel when they own exotic and big cats. When I was doing research about different exotic cats I came across this article that talked about his Ocelot that he brought with him to a restaurant and the waiter questioned him and the cat to which he said it was just a normal cat painted over in an “op art design”. This happened at an upscale Manhattan restaurant when Babou was tethering on the table and the diner next to him wasn’t sure what the heck was going on (she probably didnt know or appreciate that Dali one of the biggest artist was next to her….)
He bought Babou in the 1960s and brought him almost everywhere. He wore a stone studded collar and here is a photo of the beautiful cat below. a fellow diner.
The strongest Effective Radiated Power horizontally allowed in the United States is currently at 100,000 watts. Depending on how that signal is mounted and the surrounding geography depends on how many miles in any direction that signal can reach. In some instances it can be hundred of miles.
As many of you know I am one of the best marketers out there and have continued to refine my marketing skills beyond the digital world also focusing on traditional advertising methods such as direct mail and radio advertising.

To be continued… What I noticed is there are far more 100,000 watt stations then I had anticipated. Interesting to note that there are so many in Hawaii. My intention is to finish this list in its entirety soon and then organize it by the following data for those doing research on buying airtime or would like my consulting and advice for advertising:
*Anything with a star denotes a 98,000 watt station.
**Vertical ERP of 100,000 Watts
After tallying up Barry Ritholtz map of Cheap oils beneficiaries and those who have suffered financially throughout the world we have the following numbers. 877 Billion dollars in gains versus 879 Billion dollars in overall losses with Russia and the Middle East as the biggest losers and Europe as the biggest gainer with a 300 billion dollar gain:
Is the Irony of American Greed the commercials that they play? From Qui Bids to Instant weight loss advertisements with near impossible money back guarantees. What do you think? Will any of the enterprises airing ever become a feature on a future episode of American Greed: Scams, Scoundrels, And Suckers?
*The Obsidian episode does feature somebody who was previously interviewed on a different CNBC.
So South Florida has eagerly anticipated the arrival of Uber as an alternative to the dismal Yellow Cab. The many complaints lodged against Yellow Cab ranges from the lack of unfriendliness from the majority of their drivers to the fact that their drivers consistently try to lie and say that their credit card machines do not work when they clearly do. This became such an issue that their is not a requirement for the credit card machines in their taxi cabs.
As I travel a lot it is always a $20.00 yellow cab fare from my house to and from the airport. The other day upon my arrival at the Fort Lauderdale Airport I was excited to try my first Uber from the airport to my home to see if there was any real cost savings. I arrived outside of terminal 1 Southwest which is further than any other cab pickup point thus giving Uber the disadvantage and even then my final cab fare came out to $14.85 a savings of $5.15 thanks to Uber.
While the money saved is not a big deal (if you take an uber once a week from the Airport that is $267.80 a year in savings) but rather that it was fast and efficient and the Uber driver was nice and talkative compared to the majority of the Yellow Cabs in town.
