The Winton Motor Carriage is the earliest known car ad, published in the July 30, 1898 issue of Scientific American. Alexander Winton was a Scottish-emigrant bicycle maker who switched to building cars in 1896 and had the world's largest auto factory by 1900.




July 30, 1916: The Great War came to America when Johnson Barge No. 17 destined for Russia went Kaboom, an act of sabotage by naval intelligence agents of the German Empire. First major act of terrorism on US soil, Black Tom explosion.

German Master Spy Franz Von Rintelen chief of German naval intelligence and his "pencil bomb" were responsible for acts of sabotage in the United States during World War I. According to some sources, Captain von Rintelen despised the Nazi Party so intensely that, during World War II, he willingly taught the British Special Operations Executive how to construct and use all of his former bombs and incendiary devices.

LONDON, May 30-Capt. Franz von Rintelen, German master spy and chief of German naval intelligence in the United States during the first World War, died today. [30 May 1949] His age was 72. Captain von Rintelen, whose mission was to prevent United States munitions from reaching the Allies, was “recalled” to Berlin by a fake message and captured by the British. He spent eighteen months as a prisoner here and then was returned to the United States, where he was sentenced to four years imprisonment for sabotage.

Later, Captain von Rintelen settled in England and became friend of Sir Reginald Hall, who as chief of British naval intelligence had outwitted him. Sir Reginald spoke on the German's behalf when he was arrested on the outbreak of the second World War. But the former spy was interned again. He had always expressed strong anti-Nazi views. He was, he said, “a Prussian with nostalgia for the days of the Kaiser." He became a lecturer and novelist. Two of his books were "The Dark Invader" and "The Return of the Dark Invader.”

Master Saboteur Here

Captain von Rintelen is best remembered in this country for his exploits as master saboteur and head of the German spy system in the United States during the first World War. The super-plotter of Prussian wiles, supposed to be of Hohenzollern blood, a multimillionaire in his own name, fell into Uncle Sam's net when caught putting in ships "fountain pen" bombs which caused explosions and started fires along the New York waterfront. Tall, bald and described as an elegant gentleman, he came to the United States as a German Navy lieutenant commander in April, 1915, ostensibly in the Kaiser Wilhelm's diplomatic service. He was assigned to Washington to the German Embassy, and later admitted that his mission in the United States was to prevent American munitions from reaching the Allies. The Kaiser's secret Ambassador-de-Luxe worked but a short time in the United States as a plotter and saboteur. He was trapped in August, 1915, by British Naval Intelligence. It sent him a fake message ordering him to return from the United States to Germany. He complied. He boarded a Dutch ship under a Swiss name and carried a forged passport. The ship was intercepted off Margate, England, by the British and von Rintelen was taken ashore.

Sent to Penitentiary

In 1917, the British sent von Rintelen back to the United States, where he was put on trial for his acts of sabotage in this country. He was found guilty of charges of being chief of the German spy ring and was held responsible for the damage or destruction of thirty-two British ships. He was sent to the Federal Penitentiary at Atlanta for four years. Captain von Rintelen was chagrined to learn that he had been unmasked by a young woman working for the British intelligence in Washington. She obtained the secret codes which he had brought to the United States from a secretary of the German Embassy staff. President Wilson pardoned him in 1920 but Franz von Papen, then a power in the German Government, prevented his return to Germany. Captain von Rintelen found a haven and his social position in England. Later, he described his operations with David Lamar, the Wolf of Wall Street. He said that when he arrived here from Germany in 1915 he had $500,000 in a suitcase with instructions to use it for the utmost possible damage. He fell in with Lamar and reported later that the Wolf got it all before he had a chance even to blow up a bridge

July 30, 1932: US VP Charles Curtis declared, “I proclaim open the Olympic Games of Los Angeles, celebrating the tenth Olympiad of the modern era.” A crowd of 100,000 spectators watched as some 1,332 athletes, representing 37 nations, paraded into the stadium. Vice President Curtis pressed a silver button to light the Olympic torch, the Olympic flag was raised, and 2,000 pigeons were released.

July 30, 1944: the "Lone Ranger" died while serving with the U.S. Marines on Tinian, Northern Mariana Islands. Lee Powell, the first actor to portray the Masked Man on screen, was reported KIA but it was later revealed that he died of alcohol poisoning—probably from drinking tainted sake.


Although it was widely reported in contemporary press reports that he had been killed in action, he actually died from drinking an improvised alcoholic beverage that contained Methanol celebrating the end of the Battle of Tinian.  Surviving jungle Jap hell only to die celebrating. Sucks!


July 30, 1975: 64-year-old Oliver Conger and 62-year-old Grace Conger are killed when their fishing boat capsizes due to a possible Rogue wave off the coast of Oregon and they are eaten by sharks. Ugh.


Ironic that JAWS was released June 20, 1975.
The first scientific evidence of their existence came with the recording of a rogue wave by the Gorm natural gas platform in the central North Sea in 1984. A stand-out wave was detected with a wave height of 36 ft (11 m) in a relatively low sea state. However, what caught the attention of the scientific community was the digital measurement of a rogue wave at the Draupner platform in the North Sea on January 1, 1995; called the "Draupner wave", it had a recorded maximum wave height of 84 ft (25.6 m) and peak elevation of 61 ft (18.5 m).


July 30, 1975: The "forgotten man of Las Vegas history," Union leader Jimmy Hoffa went missing near Detroit, Michigan. Hoffa allowed use of Teamster's Union pension funds to finance construction in Las Vegas including Sunrise Hospital and Caesars Palace. Similar to Miami, FL back in the 80s but with cocaine cowboys.




July 30, 1981: Its intended opening delayed by the MGM Grand fire in Nov 1980, the long-running "Jubilee!" opened at the original MGM Las Vegas (later Bally's, now Horseshoe Las Vegas). known for its lavish sets, costumes, and large cast of showgirls. Jubilee! closed in Feb 2016 after more than 34 years.




Nvidia MARKET CAP NEW RECORD HIGH

If Nvidia were its own country it would rank $4 in the world.

All on about $130 billion in total annual revenue.

The Price-to-Sales (P/S) ratio is a financial metric that compares a company's market capitalization to its total revenue. A P/S ratio of 33 is unsustainable long-term unless revenue grows exponentially, requiring Nvidia to hit $500 billion annually (nearly 4x current levels) to justify its market cap at a more reasonable P/S of 10.

Warren Buffett said in 2001 in a Fortune magazine article by Carol Loomis. He called it the “Buffett Indicator” — the ratio of total market capitalization to GDP — “probably the best single measure of where valuations stand at any given moment.”

“If the percentage relationship falls to the 70% or 80% area, buying stocks is likely to work very well for you. If the ratio approaches 200% — as it did in 1999 and a part of 2000 — you are playing with fire.”

The current U.S. stock market capitalization to GDP ratio, often referred to as the Buffett Indicator, is approximately 213% as of July 27, 2025, based on the most recent data available.

Nvidia is the new economy. It's not just about chips, it’s about who gets to program the future and Nvidia has leapfrogged into the role of arms dealer for the intelligence era.

NVIDIA and Accenture’s Government solution provider announce the integration of Hedera into the Blackwell Platform as "trust for pre-certified sovereign AI systems."

The entire U.S. government, all EU countries and many parts of Asia will track their AI workflows on Hedera. Not doing so (like choosing chicom chips) is simply a risk to national security and there is no alternative which comes integrated into NVIDIA and Intel chips out of the box...or so the messaging goes.





Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang introduces Blackwell, Nvidia's new GPU platform packed with 208 billion transistors on a die. Named after David Blackwell (April 24, 1919 – July 8, 2010), American statistician and mathematician who made significant contributions to game theory, probability theory, information theory, and statistics. He is one of the eponyms of the Rao–Blackwell theorem, and is also known for the Blackwell channel, Blackwell's contraction mapping theorem, Blackwell's approachability theorem, and the Blackwell order. He was the first African American inducted into the National Academy of Sciences, the first African American full professor with tenure at the University of California, Berkeley, and the seventh African American to receive a Ph.D. in mathematics.

Just imagine envisioning the future back in the 90s and now that future is here and I bet you never imagined your new reality was conceived at a Denny's. LOL, crazy!
