Curmudgeon's Corner

2024-09-28: Repelling the Ninjas

Listen Later
On this week's Curmudgeon's Corner, Sam and Ivan argue about polls. But also there is of course more Election 2024 talk. But before that, some on Hurricane Helene and more generally about disaster preparedness, a look back at the book "Big Data" from 2013, and a discussion on the need to actually pay people a decent wage. Oh, and some celebration of the team's YouTube success!
