  • Earthshaking News – Cancer Cured?

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regularly scheduled KVMR radio commentary broadcast on 30 January 2019.  An edited version of this commentary appeared in the 2feb19 Union.] Standby for the next tranche of earthshaking news.  You know, the kind of report that promises to make a big impact on the lives of each…

  • Scoping Your Rifle

    George Rebane OK boys and girls, time to take a break from our usual work of solving the world’s socio-political problems.  Today we’re going to look at a new and, hopefully, better method for scoping your rifle.  I am a lifelong shooter and also a military and NRA trained range safety officer (RSO).  As a…

  • A joyous Christmas to those who still believe

    Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.  Matthew 1:23 George Rebane A merry and joyous Christmas wish from the Rebanes (this year our Southern Tribe – the Esteys, children and grandchildren – moved here to…

  • Fake News Defined (Addended)

    George Rebane Fake News – Assertions in the media (including blogosphere) disguised as news items which are purposely meant to mislead.  This includes assertions of data (facts and beliefs about the real world), information (various formatting of data to promote certain types of decisions/conclusions), and outright lies of the various types (more here).  Most, but…

  • Fair Division 101B

    George Rebane In ‘Fair Division 101’ I introduced readers to the field of fair division algorithms and presented a powerful and easy-to-use two-party algorithm derived from the literature which I named FD01.  At the conclusion of that dissertation I offered a method for extending FD01 for use by more than two parties.  The method works…

  • Attribution in Dialogues and Debates

    George Rebane Conversations and debates advance toward productive conclusions when each participant in turn builds on what has already been recognized – either expanding or rebutting, but most certainly acknowledging that a notion, idea, or report of a happening has already been presented and made part of the discussion thread.  Admittedly RR presents many topics…

  • Credo on Closure

    George Rebane Here I record a brief note made over a year ago that I discovered while clearing my desk for the next project.  It is probably of not much interest to RR’s current readers, but may be for some future internet archeologists, especially students of causality. Closure, n. – the act of bringing to…
