You're telling us?? ;-)

Agreed.

Ralph Barone, BASc, PEng

Ralph, if your PE is so good, how many components do you have on the International Space Station? How many poison gas detectors did you design for the Army? Did you design the mechanical components of my microtitration device so that YOU could brag that you helped to stop the HIV plague? Exactly what have you done with your PE?

A few miles into my evening ride on my cable-shift Emonda -- with my
wife pushing me on her ebike, I shifted to go up the next hill and
snap -- immediate downshift into 34/11. Great. In the middle of a
9% grade, that turned at the top to another climb, but a short one.
I tacked a bit, got home and then jumped on the Di2 disc Synapse and
started over. Heavier with fenders, etc., but still a nice bike.
The discs, BTW, don't drag at all. Thank Buddha for that reliable
Di2.

The good thing about the latest Ultegra levers is that there is a
trap door under the lever body, and you can remove one screw, take
out the door and grab the broken cable and end. No more fishing it
out of the lever. This is the second time in 20 years on STI that
I've broken a cable. Before that I broke a friction bar-end cable in
the middle of a tour. I had a spare.


I guess when you've been riding the Di2 setup for the same time &
distance you'll be able to make a more reasonable comparison.

I'm still waiting to break a cable after more than 30 years of using
cable actuated gears and brakes.

I tend to have to replace as the cable gets sticky, and after a while can’t
be cleaned/lubed into life.

Don’t think I’ve ever snapped a cable. Mind you until this year had never
snapped a hanger...


Now that they are making replaceable hangers the aluminum material is of
the wrong alloy and is very brittle. I don't think that this is to allow
break away in case of a crash or to make people buy more of them but
simply that alloy is just cheaper than hell. It appears to be almost pure aluminum.

These where both OEM parts, ie two separate bikes, one is fairly new, other
is 6 or 7 years old now. In both cases due to COVID19 restrictions I was
riding in well bog.

Ie have no reason to believe was any design fault.


Campy record or Chorus cables are lined with nylon I believe and with stainless cables. Using these I don't expect any stickiness or grabbling of any sort. I can't say that I was particularly impressed with Shimano small parts like their cables and replacement parts. Of course, perhaps your weather conditions are sufficiently glum that you have to watch out for that sort of thing.

You have already told us that you only rarely ride a bicycle anymore

That's mostly correct. What I actually said before you twisted the
meaning is that I am no longer able to properly ride a bicycle. If
you want, I can explain the medical problem that created this
situation. I still have two bicycles, which I occasionally ride short
distances.
so perhaps you might want to explain what you're even doing on this group?

Perhaps? That suggests that I can perhaps choose not to explain. So,
I won't explain because you don't need to know and I don't feel like
justifying my presence.

However, I can offer you a fair trade. I'll answer your question if
you explain why you reply to every single thread, statement, question,
and comment in R.B.T. I believe that I understand the motivations for
your other odd habits, but the need to add your uninformed and
unsubstantiated opinion to every discussion has me mystified. Why?

You probably don't trust me to provide a genuine answer to your
question, so I'll go first if you agree to answer my question in a
similar manner. Deal?


You have also chosen not to explain what in the hell you know about digital engineering, embedded systems and programming so that you could explain what I didn't know. Instead like an English teacher you've chosen to pick my resume apart for its spelling errors and not the thousands of human lives I've saved.

You are the one that decided to insert yourself into this discussion after that moron Frank chose to tell everyone I was lying about hitting a tree branch because he could find street pictures of that area only 5 years old. So don't pretend that you have ever had any effect on the world around you because I've spent my life doing just that whether it was volunteering for the Air Force or being part of the construction of the world's largest time sharing computer of the time. The job I had before the concussion was designing and programming devices for the detection and treatment of Cancer. Did your radios help that? Half of this scientific world has been changed by the things I have done. And I have a right to be proud of that.

Of course we could always go with Jay's idea that if I designed anything of value I would have a patent on it. Elon Musk doesn't have any patents but I should. Charley Button owns no patents of his intercoms and radios but I should. I have never even heard of a development engineer owning a patent but dollars to dimes Jay could find one.

If you want to be a part of a discussion talk about things you know and not for the reason that you want to complain about how badly I treat you after you started it.

Exactly what did you "construct".

Wow. I can't imagine why the Nobel Prize committee has overlooked you!

Is it because they, like we, would like to see actual evidence and
documentation instead of absurd claims?

Oh... I bet they've read this article:

An accurate quote would be appreciated. What I said is that IF you had any significant inventions, your name would be in the USPTO as a an inventor if not as a patent assignee/owner. Elon Musk at the USPTO: https://tinyurl..com/ze3jzzcw At least he is mentioned -- and his company owns many patents: https://tinyurl.com/5fjj8kh5

Elon is mentioned in this patent which we should apply to you: 10,963,467 "Determining whether a user in a social network is an authority on a topic." You should go read that. Here is the abstract:

"A method involving obtaining a first plurality of topic groups (TGs), each having a membership of accounts, identifying a first plurality of accounts as authorities for an expertise topic, obtaining a second plurality of TGs with a number of accounts as members, wherein the first plurality of TGs comprises the second plurality of TGs, identifying a first frequent account which is a member in at least one of the second plurality of TGs, adding the first frequent account to the authorities of the expertise topic to obtain a second plurality of accounts as the authorities of the expertise topic, determining a third plurality of TGs in which a second number of accounts from the second plurality of accounts are members, determining that another frequent account is a member in one of the third plurality of TGs, and obtaining a ranking of accounts that are an authority on the expertise topic."

Got it?

By the way, there is nothing about your accomplishments anywhere except in your LinkedIn page. If you invented half of the scientific world, one would expect to see you mentioned somewhere, if not the USPTO. Maybe a professional journal, association news letter, company press release, police blotter -- well, you did make the police blotter.

'Experts', is it?

Well then. That explanation surely clears up any doubt as to
Wikipedia's wisdom in banning Philip Roth from editing the
article on Philip Roth's works. What would he know?

I note also that Jobst Brandt, who pithily critiqued the
Ducati desdromonic valve article, was similarly banned
despite his corrections being exactly correct.

It's always important to find experts who can parrot a
party line. Everything else is heresy.

The patent was issued last week and has not appeared in Google Patents
yet. See:
https://pdfpiw.uspto.gov/.piw?PageNum=0&docid=10963467&IDKey=7D53F834F7F2
The patent is owned by Twitter, which apparently is incapable of
distinguishing genuine intelligence from their usual banter and
requires the assistance of a computer algorithm. The assumption is
that the unintelligent can intelligently recognize intelligence. My
guess(tm) is that Twitter might be deploying a rating system which
quantifies how authoritative various Twitter users might be.

One problem is that the Twitter method only goes from zero to some
positive number. It should also go negative, as in how damaging an
authoritative user might be. For example, a fake news disseminator
should produce a negative score.

I invented something like this in college, but with a different
purpose. I had some difficulty evaluating the various women on campus
for which I invented the "Helen of Troy" rating system. Helen of Troy
was sufficiently beautiful to launch 1000 ships. Therefore, any women
able to inspire the launching of 1000 ships gets the top 1 Helen
rating. Launching only 1 ship is rated at 1 milli-Helen. Similarly,
sinking 1 ship is a negative 1 milli-Helen. Methods patent pending.
