So is John going to return all the computer gear paid for by the victims of his cons? 'Cause all he needs for his "work" is a Big Chief tablet and a box of crayons.

Also amusing that Engineer John thinks you can run, say, a multiple regression analysis on 100 GB of data on an off-the-shelf laptop from Walmart.

Well, you certainly don't need a $50,000 monster Mac, and if you did need that kind of power, you'd obviously be better off getting it in off the shelf components and building it yourself. John is just mad that the other grifter is more successful.
 
The examples Wu made of people who "need" a $67,000 Mac Pro aren't any better. There's no need to do either of those things locally on a single machine as they probably scale. Which is why nobody does it on a single machine. For whatever reason this person wants to do something locally (paranoia perhaps) and managed to find someone to give them time on one. You'd think that'd have solved things for everyone happily. But Wu is still shrieking about how totally not triggered while tweeting about it for two hours:

You would think someone like Wu would find something better to do on a Sunday rather than be, well, this.
 
How much did Wu spend on a Mac Pro so he could potentially look at voter data and other services he paid for but never used?

Only a moron would buy a hugely expensive Mac and do trivial things like looking at Rev60 maps on it in Window.

And tweeting shit like "I’m looking to build a Gamedev machine for Unreal Engine 4. ... What is a good 18-core i9/ Motherboard combo these days?", then someone points out that John Carmack uses a 64 core Threadripper and Wu goes "ooooh, very pro" and Frank screams for no reason.

And John Oliver in the background.
 
I wouldn't call the notion some that vidya from when John was in high school would still work the way he remembers "magical." I would reserve that sort of adjective for something really crazy, like a person transforming into something entirely different.

John probably thinks its done in excel, and not rstudio, stata, or spss. Also, john should try running a multiple imputation on a 4 year old computer and see how well that works out.

I feel like this is a perfect encapsulation of John's standard response to anything. Barge in headfirst to something relevant to his interests (video games, sports cars, Ambien addictions), boast about some random shit to make himself sound important that always needs a bunch of asterisks for qualifiers ("I'm a top SMB2 speedrunner****," "I'm one of the top Unreal devs on iOS****," "I have a Porsche****"), and then make plans to spend more of Frank's money. Often, these conversations could be done entirely in private, and probably should, but if John did that, he wouldn't get the chance to humblebrag.

Say what you want about John, at least he's consistent.
