The thread title is misleading; basically forum click bait. We're smarter than that. Or was that sarcasm? --- End quote --- Several people here have expressed doubts about the underlying technical problem and focused on the distraction strategy of the government. Classic misdirection as practiced by any half-competent magician. |

He was fined for saying he is an engineer when he is probably not. In short, probably misleading behaviour. --- End quote --- Nope, he was fined because he used the title "engineer" without being licensed in that state. That is a very different thing from whether not his vocations and/or qualifications are in engineering. |

Yep. Seen it. Lots of letters and numbers and symbols and squiggly lines and pretty colors. |

The important part there is pretty clear from the graph and in fact doesn't even need a graph. The yellow interval for the intersections in question are substantially shorter than standard. IIRC a city up in my area got busted a number of years ago for doing the same thing. |
