The Math Ain't Mathing

So I'm sure people are going to accuse me of being a conspiracy theorist, but the more I think about the results of this US election, the more it's clear that things aren't adding up.

Now don't get me wrong. I'm well aware of the US's long history of racism and misogyny, and it is totally possible -- in theory -- that more people voted for a moronic straight, white male who is an ajudicated grapist and convicted felon over a more-than-qualified, intelligent, results-driven woman of color for a position as leader of the wealthiest nation on earth.

I'm not saying that couldn't happen. But did it? Legitimately?

The more I think about Trump's campaign, the more fishy this result seems.

So here was a man with ...

virtually no policies (that he could talk about openly),

no ground game,

no door knocking apparatus to urge folks to get out the vote,

no phone banking,

he was constantly running out of money and had to shill products to raise more,

stole money from down ballot candidates, putting their marketing strategies at risk,

found liable for SA,

found guilty of millions of dollars in fraud,

constantly rambles and shows clear signs of being mentally unwell,

invokes violent and hateful language against specific communities as well as individuals,

bragged about being a dictator on Day 1,

had over 40 former cabinet members declare him unfit for office,

was called a fascist by his own former chief of staff,

was not endorsed by any reputable economists,

saw a flood of lifelong Republicans -- literally millions of them -- abandon their party to vote for his opponent,

has been impeached twice,

has seen sharply, dwindling crowd sizes at his rallies for the last 6 weeks,

... and somehow he won the popular vote by 5 million?

Even though he never won the popular vote in 2016? Or 2020?

Suddenly he "found" a bunch of votes from people who liked him?

Um, no.

Just no.

One of Trump's biggest failings is that he and his team tell lies like children. That is, they've never learned how to keep things believable. Like a misguided 10-year-old who is desperate to impress someone with his whopper of a tale, he always exaggerates to the point of hyperbole and insults our intelligence.

For example, he told us his rally at Wildwood, NJ, this past summer had 108,000 even though the town itself only has 80,000 residents and the venue he held the rally in only held 20,000 people.

Or how he kept insisting that American kids are going to school and somehow receiving gender reassignment surgery over a couple of days and without parental consent before being sent home.

Each lie is so over the top and grandiose it makes him look infantile while at the same time insults our knowledge of reality.

And that's exactly what this feels like.

There is no way this man won the majority of the votes and the popular vote after only winning due to the electoral college the first time and not at all the second time. More people vilify him now than they did in 2016 and 2020, and that's saying something.

There just aren't enough voters in the US to give him a clear path to victory here no matter how committed his sycophants are to white supremacy. MAGA voters are not the majority of the voting electorate.

Also the fact that the exit polling data is suspiciously similar to the same tall tales Trump's been selling for the past year about how he had a ton of support in the Latino and Black communities, despite there being no data to support it at all. He was polling damn near 0% in some majority black communities like Detroit and Atlanta.

Yeah ... no.

This math ain't mathing.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I know when something isn't adding up. And nothing about these results add up at all.

On top of that, they ran their entire campaign like they didn't care about people getting out to vote. They kept insulting different segments of the electorate over and over again, as if they didn't need the votes of single people or people without children.

Plus, we saw record voter registration leading up to the election. More people voting early in state after state, and millions of people voting for the first time in their lives. But somehow there were fewer votes cast in this 2024 election than in the 2020 election?

Hell, Georgia alone tripled its early voter turnout. So how is this election getting fewer votes than 4 years ago?!

There were historically longer lines than ever before in parts of the country that never saw long lines, and yet there were millions fewer votes counted so far this year? Are we really to believe that all those long lines and so many new voters managed to only add up to 136M versus 158M who voted in 2020?

I call bullshit!

Also, a number of folks are commenting on how quickly the states were called. In all my years of voting, I've never seen a US election turning around so fast.

Yeah, the math ain't mathing.

Sure, he could've eeked out a win via the Electoral College without the popular vote like he did in 2016, but given her momentum and the majority of the polls either favoring her or having had them tied, none of these results pass the smell test.

Meanwhile, Harris had a multigenerational, multiracial, multiethnic, multigendered coalition of enthusiastic supporters who volunteered, phone banked, door knocked, and fundraised in every state plus D.C. Her media strategy was savvy, her interviews were sharp and intelligible, and her demeanor was inclusive and congenial. Again, not putting anything past good ole American racism and misogyny, but all the data showed that her supporters were clearly larger in number and more enthusiastic than his.

Long story short --

I do believe we are witnessing the American government being hijacked and a dictator installed right before our very eyes.

These days, when Nicole Yelland receives a meeting request from someone she doesn’t already know, she conducts a multi-step background check before deciding whether to accept. Yelland, who works in public relations for a Detroit-based non-profit, says she’ll run the person’s information through Spokeo, a personal data aggregator that she pays a monthly subscription fee to use. If the contact claims to speak Spanish, Yelland says, she will casually test their ability to understand and translate trickier phrases. If something doesn’t quite seem right, she’ll ask the person to join a Microsoft Teams call—with their camera on.

If Yelland sounds paranoid, that’s because she is. In January, before she started her current non-profit role, Yelland says she got roped into an elaborate scam targeting job seekers. “Now, I do the whole verification rigamarole any time someone reaches out to me,” she tells WIRED.

Digital imposter scams aren’t new; messaging platforms, social media sites, and dating apps have long been rife with fakery. In a time when remote work and distributed teams have become commonplace, professional communications channels are no longer safe, either. The same artificial intelligence tools that tech companies promise will boost worker productivity are also making it easier for criminals and fraudsters to construct fake personas in seconds.

On LinkedIn, it can be hard to distinguish a slightly touched-up headshot of a real person from a too-polished, AI-generated facsimile. Deepfake videos are getting so good that longtime email scammers are pivoting to impersonating people on live video calls. According to the US Federal Trade Commission, reports of job and employment related scams nearly tripled from 2020 to 2024, and actual losses from those scams have increased from $90 million to $500 million.

Yelland says the scammers that approached her back in January were impersonating a real company, one with a legitimate product. The “hiring manager” she corresponded with over email also seemed legit, even sharing a slide deck outlining the responsibilities of the role they were advertising. But during the first video interview, Yelland says, the scammers refused to turn their cameras on during a Microsoft Teams meeting and made unusual requests for detailed personal information, including her driver’s license number. Realizing she’d been duped, Yelland slammed her laptop shut.

These kinds of schemes have become so widespread that AI startups have emerged promising to detect other AI-enabled deepfakes, including GetReal Labs, and Reality Defender. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman also runs an identity-verification startup called Tools for Humanity, which makes eye-scanning devices that capture a person’s biometric data, create a unique identifier for their identity, and store that information on the blockchain. The whole idea behind it is proving “personhood,” or that someone is a real human. (Lots of people working on blockchain technology say that blockchain is the solution for identity verification.)

But some corporate professionals are turning instead to old-fashioned social engineering techniques to verify every fishy-seeming interaction they have. Welcome to the Age of Paranoia, when someone might ask you to send them an email while you’re mid-conversation on the phone, slide into your Instagram DMs to ensure the LinkedIn message you sent was really from you, or request you text a selfie with a timestamp, proving you are who you claim to be. Some colleagues say they even share code words with each other, so they have a way to ensure they’re not being misled if an encounter feels off.

“What’s funny is, the low-fi approach works,” says Daniel Goldman, a blockchain software engineer and former startup founder. Goldman says he began changing his own behavior after he heard a prominent figure in the crypto world had been convincingly deepfaked on a video call. “It put the fear of god in me,” he says. Afterwards, he warned his family and friends that even if they hear what they believe is his voice or see him on a video call asking for something concrete—like money or an internet password—they should hang up and email him first before doing anything.

Ken Schumacher, founder of the recruitment verification service Ropes, says he’s worked with hiring managers who ask job candidates rapid-fire questions about the city where they claim to live on their resume, such as their favorite coffee shops and places to hang out. If the applicant is actually based in that geographic region, Schumacher says, they should be able to respond quickly with accurate details.

Another verification tactic some people use, Schumacher says, is what he calls the “phone camera trick.” If someone suspects the person they’re talking to over video chat is being deceitful, they can ask them to hold up their phone camera to their laptop. The idea is to verify whether the individual may be running deepfake technology on their computer, obscuring their true identity or surroundings. But it’s safe to say this approach can also be off-putting: Honest job candidates may be hesitant to show off the inside of their homes or offices, or worry a hiring manager is trying to learn details about their personal lives.

“Everyone is on edge and wary of each other now,” Schumacher says.

While turning yourself into a human captcha may be a fairly effective approach to operational security, even the most paranoid admit these checks create an atmosphere of distrust before two parties have even had the chance to really connect. They can also be a huge time suck. “I feel like something’s gotta give,” Yelland says. “I’m wasting so much time at work just trying to figure out if people are real.”

Jessica Eise, an assistant professor studying climate change and social behavior at Indiana University-Bloomington, says that her research team has been forced to essentially become digital forensics experts, due to the amount of fraudsters who respond to ads for paid virtual surveys. (Scammers aren’t as interested in the unpaid surveys, unsurprisingly.) If the research project is federally funded, all of the online participants have to be over the age of 18 and living in the US.

“My team would check time stamps for when participants answered emails, and if the timing was suspicious, we could guess they might be in a different time zone,” Eise says. “Then we’d look for other clues we came to recognize, like certain formats of email address or incoherent demographic data.”

Eise says the amount of time her team spent screening people was “exorbitant,” and that they’ve now shrunk the size of the cohort for each study and have turned to “snowball sampling” or having recruiting people they know personally to join their studies. The researchers are also handing out more physical flyers to solicit participants in person. “We care a lot about making sure that our data has integrity, that we’re studying who we say we’re trying to study,” she says. “I don’t think there’s an easy solution to this.”

Barring any widespread technical solution, a little common sense can go a long way in spotting bad actors. Yelland shared with me the slide deck that she received as part of the fake job pitch. At first glance, it seemed like legit pitch, but when she looked at it again, a few details stood out. The job promised to pay substantially more than the average salary for a similar role in her location, and offered unlimited vacation time, generous paid parental leave, and fully-covered health care benefits. In today’s job environment, that might have been the biggest tipoff of all that it was a scam.

Michigan students stagnated in performance in reading and math in a critical national assessment taken every two years, largely making no significant gains — or sustaining significant losses — since a drop in scores following the pandemic.

The results released Wednesday show the state's education system likely has a long road ahead in strengthening student achievement.

And the scores, as they have in previous years, illustrate a vast achievement gap between the state's economically disadvantaged students and those who are not from low-income homes, as well as long-running schisms that show students of color scoring lower than white students. There was a glimmer of excitement in the numbers, however, for Detroit Public Schools Community District, which saw a significant score increase in the fourth grade math category.

Michael Rice, state superintendent of education, said in an interview that the scores show that "we have work to do" across Michigan in improving reading and math outcomes for students. Rice attributed the lagging numbers in part to the pandemic and the rise of constantly pinging cellphones.

"Children, as a rule, have challenges shutting that out and shutting it off. And so what we know is: Children are reading less and what we know is that part of reading achievement is putting in the reps, putting in the time," he said. "You've got to read."

Michigan fourth and eighth graders' reading and math scores only fluctuated by a few points between 2022 and 2024 on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), an assessment taken by a random sample of students every two years across the country. Michigan is not the only state with sluggish scores: Most other states in both reading and math saw very little progress on the NAEP assessment. Officials with the National Center for Education Statistics, which compiles the score data, said even progress made nationally in a few areas, such as math, was driven by high-performers, meaning that students historically known to struggle on this assessment continue to struggle.

Nationally, education leaders said with the release of the data that the results spell trouble for America's public school students.

"There are significant challenges for us as a nation in these data, the gap between the highest and lowest performing students in the eighth grade has widened in both reading and math," said Peggy Carr, commissioner of the National Center for Education Statistics, in a conference call with reporters. Carr said a recent survey also shows that students enjoy reading less, underscoring a struggle to improve reading outcomes among public school students.

How did Michigan students perform?

In Michigan, students took tests in reading and math in fourth and eighth grade. The reading results showed:

In fourth grade, the average reading score in Michigan was 209 in 2024, compared with 212 in 2022, which was categorized as not a significant change, and 218 in 2019. The fourth grade national average was 214 in 2024.

In eighth grade, the average reading score in Michigan was 255 in 2024, compared with 259 in 2022, which was categorized as not a significant change, and 263 in 2019. The eighth grade national average was 257 in 2024.

The math results showed:

In fourth grade, the average math score in Michigan was 235 in 2024, compared with 232 in 2022, which was categorized as not a significant change, and 236 in 2019. The fourth grade national average was 237 in 2024.

In eighth grade, the average math score in Michigan was 270 in 2024, compared with 273 in 2022, which was categorized as not a significant change, and 280 in 2019. The eighth grade national average was 272 in 2024.

How did Detroit students perform?

Detroit's public school district has long lagged behind statewide average scores, mirroring state M-STEP assessment results. But district Superintendent Nikolai Vitti in more recent years has touted some advances in the numbers, showing that the district is improving its outcome for students, many of whom are economically disadvantaged.

Most of the categories in Detroit's average NAEP scores in this round did not change significantly. In fourth grade reading, for example, the 2024 score was 174, compared with 176 in 2022.

But Detroit did see a significant change in fourth grade math, going from an average score of 194 in 2022 to 200 in 2024.

What do these scores mean?

Schools have poured billions of dollars in federal aid meant to stem learning losses into tutoring and other programs to help struggling students.

But M-STEP and NAEP scores haven't inched up. That doesn't mean losses between 2024 going back before the pandemic can all be chalked up to the pandemic.

"This is not just a pandemic story," said Carr, who pointed out that national scores going back decades have declined.

In particular, Michigan students identified as economically disadvantaged struggled in every category. For instance, in eighth grade math, students identified as economically disadvantaged scored, on average, 21 points lower than those not in that classification.

These achievement gaps are nothing new in Michigan.

But, in recent years, state leaders and lawmakers have directed millions of budget dollars to try to improve outcomes for historically marginalized students. Leaders with nonprofits such as EdTrust Midwest have called for even more investment, including a more targeted investment in the teaching workforce in low-income areas. Rice, too, said that more funding should go to lowering class sizes in vulnerable districts like Detroit and Flint, where teachers have upward of 30 students to juggle in one classroom.

Rice also said he believes the state has made some good moves in recent years, particularly in passing legislation that will screen for dyslexia in young readers, that will pay off in the long run on future NAEP tests.

with the potential UAW strike starting next week, I think it's good to point out that a production operator at Stellantis (formerly Chrysler) makes about $34,972 a year (according to data from Indeed). Now quickly looking up the costs of renting an apartment, utilities, phone bill, health insurance, gas, and car insurance in Detroit, Michigan (headquarters for the Big 3 car companies, THE motor city) it calculated out to about $30,000 per year.

A production operator is someone who is working on the line! They are operating machinery and doing most of the hard work. That is the person who is assembling your vehicle in the factory and is not getting paid enough to even buy most of the vehicles they assemble.

I can't remember the exact amount, but my grandfather worked at GM in the 90s, made less and his family was financially stable. Now, my father works at Stellantis, makes a little more and we are very much not financially stable.

Now that you know that, let's do a quick google search and take a look at the CEO of Stellantis, Carlos Tavares and see what he made in 2022

ah.

Now you can see why the UAW is demanding such an increase in pay. The cost of living (what a phrase that is) has gone up SO MUCH in the past years, but the hard workers of the automotive industry have been given nearly nothing. The companies can afford to give their workers adequate pay, they just don't want to give up their money (same can be said about pretty much any industry).

I think it is also important to note that many news outlets are already blaming the strike for any notable increases in the cost of vehicles. Whether or not that will actually happen, I'm not the person to ask, but I can tell you that none of them are acknowledging the fact that those prices were driven up so high in the first place because of corporate greed.

Investors Dump Record Homes, Missouri, Oklahoma Lead Sell-Off

Record Investor Activity Reshapes U.S. Housing Market in 2024A seismic shift in investor behavior has fundamentally altered the U.S. housing market environment in 2024. This marks the most dramatic reversal in real estate investment activity since data collection began two decades ago.Investors offloaded approximately 509,000 homes throughout 2024. This represents 10.8% of all residential transactions nationwide.This unprecedented volume surpasses any previous annual selling activity on record. The massive sell-off spans all investor categories.Small operators disposed of 270,000 properties, while large institutional players dumped 123,800 homes. Clear communication breakdown played a significant role in how these selling activities unfolded, leading to a re-evaluation of strategies among investors.Housing trends now reflect a fundamental departure from pandemic-era acquisition strategies.Post-pandemic investor behavior pivots away from capitalizing on soaring valuations. Instead, they are now strategically repositioning amid market cooling.Softening rental income and stabilizing prices drive current selling decisions. This shift is no longer about profit-taking opportunities.The gap between investor purchases and sales compressed to historic lows. Large investors netted merely 8,700 additional properties in 2024. Meanwhile, small investors have expanded their market presence to represent 59.2% of all investor purchases.This is a drastic fall from 134,000 net properties in 2021. Such a dramatic shift signals the end of the investor-driven market dynamics that dominated recent years.Missouri and Oklahoma Emerge as Top States for Investor SalesMissouri and Oklahoma stood out in 2024 as leading states for investor property sales. Each state accounted for 16.7% of all homes sold by investors.Both states experienced year-over-year increases in sell-off activity. Missouri saw a climb of 0.5% while Oklahoma recorded a 1.7% surge.These figures significantly exceeded the national average for investor-driven transactions. Missouri focused on maximizing gains in affordable markets with strong rental demand. Opportunities for diversifying and navigating financing complexities allowed investors to build stronger portfolios.Springfield emerged as a crucial hotspot for disposals alongside continued buying pressure.Oklahoma displayed similar trends with rapid portfolio turnover. Oklahoma City became a key point for both acquisitions and liquidations.Investors took advantage of favorable market conditions. The shift was driven by cutting losses in a declining rental market rather than cashing in on property appreciation.Selling activity in both states surpassed traditionally investor-heavy areas like California and New York. Despite high disposal volumes, rental price growth and demographic stability remained appealing.Regional dynamics highlighted flexible investor strategies. They targeted central markets with manageable risks and substantial upside potential.Economic Factors Driving Investment Decisions in the MidwestWhile coastal markets grapple with affordability crises and inventory constraints, Midwest regions have emerged as economic powerhouses. These areas are driving unprecedented investor migration patterns across the nation.The Midwest economy presents compelling fundamentals that are reshaping investment strategies. Job growth rates in urban centers like Milwaukee and Detroit have surpassed national averages.This creates robust employment ecosystems attracting both institutional and individual investors. Low unemployment rates in cities such as Naperville have bolstered investor confidence.Skilled labor demand supports stable rental markets and consistent property value retention. Housing prices remain dramatically lower than coastal regions, yet deliver superior yields and profit margins.Operating costs in Midwest markets enable portfolio diversification strategies. Such diversification was previously impossible in expensive metropolitan areas.

Supply growth remains moderate, preventing oversaturation. This maintains competitive bidding environments in select cities.Projected mortgage rate declines in 2025 increase investor leverage opportunities. Federal infrastructure investments enhance long-term property values.Data analytics tools provide real-time market monitoring capabilities. This reduces investment risks in emerging growth pockets.In addition, following mentorship principles can accelerate learning for investors entering these evolving Midwest markets, ensuring they adapt effectively to shifting economic trends.Regional Market Dynamics and Price Projections for 2025Missouri and Oklahoma markets are charting distinct courses, indicating major shifts in Midwest investment landscapes as we approach 2025. The Missouri housing market is nearing market equilibrium, characterized by rapid inventory growth.The state's two-month supply of homes marks a move away from seller-dominated conditions. Average home values in Missouri are around $260,908. However, price stability is uncertain with signs of slower growth.Market analysts predict potential price declines in the latter half of 2025. In contrast, Oklahoma sees median home prices rising toward $200,000 by year's end.Population growth and economic diversification in energy and manufacturing sectors drive strong demand in Oklahoma. Competitive areas like Ballwin still witness bidding wars above asking prices.In rural Missouri, properties are taking longer to sell, offering strategic opportunities for buyers. Oklahoma's regulatory challenges add to investor uncertainty.A focus on tenant satisfaction and maintaining competitive rent are crucial for sustaining market position and fostering loyalty in Jennings, LA.Nonetheless, undiscovered neighborhood gems are attracting speculative investments.Increasing inventory in Missouri might enhance affordability, though market fluctuations could destabilize Oklahoma's price trends. Together, these states offer varied risk profiles, prompting institutional investors to reconsider their Midwest strategies.Supply and Demand Impact From Massive Investor Sell-OffA record-breaking 10.8% of home sellers are currently investors offloading properties at unprecedented rates. This trend is fundamentally reshaping the supply-demand dynamics in American housing markets.The mass sell-off results in dual disruptions threatening market stability. As properties flood local markets, investor behavior shifts dramatically, creating artificial housing supply surges.These surges overwhelm buyer capacity, causing increased inventory accumulation. Homes are hitting the market faster than traditional buyers can absorb them.New listings are climbing year-over-year due to this pressure from investor liquidations. At the same time, demand faces compression from multiple fronts.Elevated mortgage rates are deterring potential buyers, while economic uncertainty freezes purchasing decisions. The collapse in investor home buying also removes a vital demand component.As a result, a supply-demand imbalance is triggering price volatility across affected regions. Markets become hypersensitive to demand fluctuations as investor selling accelerates.The lock-in effect is further constraining transaction volume. This leaves fewer active participants to absorb the mounting inventory surge.This situation parallels the U.S. housing market nearing disaster due to an affordability crisis, as unsold properties pile up and destabilize market conditions.AssessmentThe unprecedented investor exodus from residential properties signals a fundamental shift. Market dynamics are changing across key Midwest regions.Missouri and Oklahoma are now the sell-off epicenters. This reflects broader economic pressures that are reshaping investment strategies nationwide.Market participants must brace for continued volatility. Institutional players are retreating from previously profitable territories.The cascading effects of this massive withdrawal will likely redefine regional housing ecosystems.

This creates both risks and opportunities for remaining stakeholders.These changes are expected to unfold through 2025. Investors and homeowners alike must adapt to the evolving landscape.

Top Machine Learning Courses in Chennai: 2025’s Most Recommended Program

As artificial intelligence continues to reshape industries, Machine Learning (ML) has emerged as one of the most in-demand skills in 2025. Whether you’re a student, working professional, or someone looking to switch careers, enrolling in one of the top Machine Learning courses in Chennai could be your gateway into this exciting tech domain.

Chennai, often regarded as the "Detroit of India," is now gaining recognition as a growing hub for AI and ML education. With its vibrant tech ecosystem, excellent academic infrastructure, and an increasing number of start-ups and MNCs investing in AI capabilities, Chennai offers ample opportunities for ML enthusiasts.

In this guide, we’ll explore the best Machine Learning courses in Chennai that are setting the benchmark in 2025 — based on curriculum, faculty, placement assistance, affordability, and student reviews.

Why Learn Machine Learning in Chennai?

Before diving into the top programs, let’s understand why Chennai is a strategic location for ML education:

Growing Tech Industry: Chennai houses major IT companies like TCS, Cognizant, Infosys, Accenture, and several AI-focused startups.

Academic Excellence: The city hosts reputed institutions such as IIT Madras, Anna University, and many private colleges offering cutting-edge AI and ML programs.

Career Opportunities: With the demand for AI and ML talent surging, companies in Chennai are actively hiring skilled ML engineers, data scientists, and AI developers.

Affordable Education: Compared to metros like Bangalore or Mumbai, Chennai offers high-quality education at relatively affordable tuition rates.

Boston Institute of Analytics (BIA) is widely recognized for delivering industry-aligned training programs in data science and machine learning across major Indian cities — including Chennai.

Why It Stands Out:

Industry Experts as Trainers: Learn from practitioners working in top MNCs.

Supervised & Unsupervised Learning

How to Choose the Best Machine Learning Course in Chennai?

With the rise of data-driven industries and AI technologies, machine learning (ML) skills are in high demand. Chennai, a growing tech hub in India, offers numerous courses for aspiring ML professionals. However, choosing the best course can be overwhelming. Here's a guide to help you make the right choice:

1. Define Your Goals

Before selecting a course, clearly identify your goals. Are you a beginner looking to explore ML fundamentals, or a professional aiming to upskill? Your background in programming, mathematics, and statistics will determine whether you need an introductory or advanced-level course.

2. Check the Curriculum

A comprehensive machine learning course should cover core topics such as supervised and unsupervised learning, deep learning, model evaluation, and real-world project implementation. Look for a curriculum that balances theory with hands-on practice using tools like Python, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, and cloud platforms.

3. Faculty and Mentorship

The quality of instructors can significantly influence your learning. Choose a course taught by experienced professionals or academicians with real-world ML expertise. Some top training institutes in Chennai also offer one-on-one mentorship, which can be highly beneficial for resolving doubts and working on projects.

4. Industry-Relevant Projects

Practical experience is crucial. Opt for courses that include multiple capstone projects or case studies aligned with real business problems. This not only enhances your skills but also boosts your resume.

5. Flexibility and Learning Mode

Chennai offers both in-person and online ML courses. Choose one that fits your schedule. Working professionals may prefer weekend or self-paced programs, while full-time learners can consider bootcamps or classroom-based options.

6. Placement Support and Certification

Courses with strong placement assistance, resume-building workshops, and mock interviews are ideal if you're seeking a job after completion. Also, ensure the course offers certification recognized by industry recruiters or endorsed by reputable institutions.

7. Reviews and Reputation

Research the reputation of the institute. Look for alumni reviews, ratings on platforms like Google or LinkedIn, and any partnerships with tech companies. Institutes like Guvi, Great Learning, and IIIT-Hybrid programs are popular choices in Chennai for ML training.

Final Thoughts

With the demand for machine learning professionals on a steep rise, 2025 is the perfect time to upskill with a credible program. Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to elevate your tech career, these top Machine Learning courses in Chennai offer something for every learner — from flexible online formats to full-fledged classroom training.

If you're looking for a balanced program that combines hands-on experience, industry alignment, and flexible learning, the Boston Institute of Analytics stands out as a premier option in Chennai.

Best Software Development Company in Chennai | Top Chennai Software Development Company

In today’s fast-paced digital world, finding the best software development company in Chennai is critical for businesses aiming to stay competitive. A reputable Software Development Company in Chennai not only brings technical expertise to the table but also offers strategic insights that transform ideas into market-ready products. Chennai, often nicknamed the “Detroit of India,” has evolved into a thriving IT hub, housing numerous firms that cater to global clientele. This article explores what makes a company stand out as the best, the range of services offered, and the key considerations when selecting a Software Development Company in Chennai.

Why Choose a Chennai-Based Software Development Partner?

Chennai has emerged as one of India’s prime software development destinations. Over the past decade, the city has attracted a robust ecosystem of skilled developers, UX/UI designers, quality assurance experts, and project managers. A best software development company in Chennai typically boasts:

Cost-Effective Solutions: Operational costs in Chennai are comparatively lower than in many Western countries. This cost advantage allows businesses to receive high-quality development work at competitive rates without compromising on talent or infrastructure.

Skilled Workforce: Leading engineering colleges and technical institutes in and around Chennai produce thousands of IT graduates annually. Companies recognized as the best software development company in Chennai often recruit top talent from these institutions, ensuring access to fresh ideas and the latest technological know-how.

Time Zone Advantage: Chennai is conveniently placed in GMT+5:30 time zone, facilitating seamless collaboration with both European and North American clients. This overlap in working hours reduces communication delays, making a Software Development Company in Chennai a reliable offshore partner.

Robust IT Infrastructure: The city boasts world-class IT parks, data centers, and high-speed internet connectivity. Reputable software firms leverage this infrastructure to guarantee uptime, implement continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, and deliver projects on schedule.

Essential Services Offered by a Best Software Development Company in Chennai

When evaluating a Software Development Company in Chennai, look for firms that provide a comprehensive suite of services across the software development lifecycle:

Custom Software Development Every business has unique requirements. The best companies in Chennai excel at creating tailor-made software solutions, whether it’s a complex enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, a customer relationship management (CRM) platform, or a niche industry application. Their developers are proficient in multiple programming languages—Java, Python, C#, and JavaScript frameworks like React and Angular—ensuring flexibility to meet specific business needs.

Mobile Application Development With mobile usage skyrocketing, a premier Software Development Company in Chennai offers native and cross-platform mobile app development. Skilled iOS and Android developers use Swift, Kotlin, Flutter, and React Native to build high-performance, user-friendly applications that adhere to platform-specific guidelines and deliver optimal user experiences.

Web Application Development From simple informational websites to intricate single-page applications (SPAs), Chennai-based firms possess deep expertise in front-end and back-end technologies. They integrate scalable architectures—such as microservices—alongside cloud services (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) to ensure reliability, security, and future scalability.

UI/UX Design The best software development companies invest in research-driven design processes. UI/UX designers conduct user persona analyses, wireframing, and prototyping to create intuitive interfaces. A Software Development Company in Chennai worth its salt will prioritize usability testing and iterative feedback loops, ultimately delivering polished designs that resonate with end-users.

Quality Assurance and Testing Delivering bug-free software is non-negotiable. Top Chennai firms maintain dedicated QA teams that execute manual and automated tests—using tools like Selenium, JUnit, and Postman—to validate functionality, performance, security, and compatibility. This rigorous approach minimizes post-launch issues and safeguards user satisfaction.

DevOps and Maintenance Beyond initial development, a complete Software Development Company in Chennai offers DevOps services, including infrastructure automation, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and continuous monitoring. They provide ongoing maintenance, feature enhancements, and security updates to keep software robust and aligned with evolving business goals.

Key Factors to Consider When Selecting the Best Software Development Company in Chennai

Domain Expertise and Portfolio Review case studies to gauge a company’s experience in your industry. Whether you operate in healthcare, finance, e-commerce, or logistics, the best software development company in Chennai will showcase similar past projects, demonstrating familiarity with domain-specific regulations, challenges, and user expectations.

Technology Stack and Innovation A progressive Software Development Company in Chennai stays updated with emerging technologies. Look for teams that have expertise in AI/ML integration, blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), and data analytics. Their willingness to innovate often translates to more competitive, future-proof solutions.

Communication and Transparency Timely updates and clear communication channels are paramount, especially when partnering across geographies. The top-ranked Chennai firms assign dedicated project managers who maintain regular meetings, share status reports, and employ collaboration tools like Jira or Trello to keep stakeholders informed.

Scalability and Flexibility Your chosen Software Development Company in Chennai should be capable of scaling resources up or down in response to project requirements. Whether it’s adding more developers to meet tight deadlines or pivoting quickly due to changing specifications, flexibility in resource allocation is a hallmark of exceptional service providers.

Client Testimonials and Reviews Read client feedback on platforms like Clutch, GoodFirms, and Google Reviews. Look for consistent praise regarding on-time delivery, code quality, and post-launch support. A strong reputation as the best software development company in Chennai is often corroborated by positive third-party reviews.

Conclusion

Choosing the right Software Development Company in Chennai can significantly influence your project’s success. The city’s vibrant IT ecosystem, combined with a skilled workforce and cost advantages, makes it an attractive destination for software outsourcing. By focusing on companies that demonstrate solid domain expertise, transparent communication, and a commitment to innovation, you can partner with a firm that truly deserves the title of the best software development company in Chennai. Whether you’re a startup aiming to disrupt your market or an established enterprise seeking digital transformation, Chennai-based developers offer the technical prowess and strategic insight to turn your vision into reality.

How a PPC Agency Can Fix Your Ad Fatigue?

Have you ever thought that your ads could be invisible? That after investing so much money and time on them, the audience just scrolls past without even a glance? Welcome to the non-glamorous world of ad fatigue—silent killers of ROI in paid campaigns. But the bright side of it is that a Detroit PPC Company can become the secret to rejuvenate tired campaigns and extract new results.

In this blog, we will be conversing about what ad fatigue is, how it sneaks into your strategy, its reasons, and most importantly, how an experienced Detroit PPC Company will go ahead and tackle it and prevent it with data-driven approaches that will breathe life back into your ads.

What Is Ad Fatigue, and Why Should You Care?

This phenomenon, known as ad fatigue, sets in when users have witnessed advertisements too many times and have grown to distraught from boredom or annoyance, hence declining engagement levels, reduced numbers of clicks, and utterly stalling conversion rates. The most talented ad in any domain also cannot charm its intended audience if it is overused.

Now, suppose a massive ad campaign is launched in Detroit with an intent to reach local customers through Google Ads. With no changes made, the same ad keeps appearing time and again on their screens, driving them into a phase of ad fatigue. There go your visibility, trust, and most importantly, revenue.

This is why one needs a PPC company in Detroit, equipped with the tools, creativity, and metrics to head off this problem before your budget runs dry.

Symptoms of Ad Fatigue

Before fixing any problems, the first stage is recognition. Early signs of any problem can be detected by several algorithms from any Detroit PPC Company, such as:

Declining Click-Through Rates (CTR)

Increased Cost Per Click (CPC)

Lower Conversion Rates

Negative Ad Feedback or Hides

Frequency Spike (same users see your ad too often)

If one of the above red flags is giving you a nagging feeling, consider changing the way you perform in that area.

How a Detroit PPC Company Diagnoses Ad Fatigue?

A proficient Detroit PPC Company does not guess; rather, it diagnoses the problem. Using this advanced array of tools that include Google Ads reporting, heatmaps, and audience insights, they treat:

1. Measure Frequency

The frequency with which consumers see the same advertisement serves as a measure for PPC experts to gauge when the creative elements should be shined up or when targeting ought to be shifted.

2. Analyze Engagement Trends

Beneath the very clean, white, matte travail luminaire-confident, however, it is not necessarily calculated but occurs naturally-most affectively when adopted in the company of other silks in breathtaking design.

3. Use Split Testing (A/B Testing)

It becomes clear at that point what creative feature or element is not performing well, be it headlines, images, or CTA.

Once they have learned this, your Detroit PPC Company can start rectifying the situation.

7 Ways a Detroit PPC Company Revives Fatigued Ads

1. Creative Refresh

Out with stale shots and headlines: Here comes a fresh batch totally in tune with the contemporary audience behavior. A reputable Detroit PPC Service will employ new creatives on a regular basis-testing seasonally, locally, or even humorously-to retain the interest.

2. Ad Rotation and Scheduling

If ads run all day long, every day, it is no wonder that people may tire of them. Agencies can opt smart scheduling to help limit impressions during sub-verses-these eternal times. In doing so, ads will never be the backdrop on the digital wall.

3. Audience Segmentation

Depending on the interests segment groups, different ads can be served to different people. The Detroit PPC Company can come up with unique message variations to suit first-time visitors, repeat visitors, and those who have already converted thus keeping the ad highly relevant and low in fatigue.

4. Target Expansion

If the same ad is being shown to the same group of people for weeks, it must be letting the net loose. Agencies would then widen geographical areas and set various demographics or even use lookalike audiences as a way to increase dynamism in campaigns.

5. Platform Diversification

Most advertisers think that they can simply run the same ads on Google, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. A Detroit PPC Company will change the format, tone, and visuals based on the platform so that your ads look native and new at every touchpoint.

6. Use of Dynamic Ads

Dynamic ads automatically adjust content based on user behavior or interests. This personalization reduces the chances of fatigue and improves relevance, which a skilled Detroit PPC team knows how to leverage well.

7. Remarketing Strategy Overhaul

Remarketing can easily cause ad fatigue when paired with bad implementation. A PPC company in Detroit fine-tunes your remarketing cadence, ensures messaging evolves with user behavior, and introduces sequential storytelling to maintain interest.

Proactive Monitoring and Optimization

Ad fatigue is not a one-time fix; it is forever evolving. A reputable Detroit PPC Company keeps an eye on all ad metrics; keeps testing new ad variations while keeping a keen eye on data-driven performance; and very often changes strategy or implementation. They don't just set and forget and expect it to work all by itself; rather, they evolve campaigns along with the audience.

Real Results: What to Expect

By resolving ad fatigue, businesses often see:

2x or higher click-through rates

30–50% lower cost-per-click

Improved Quality Scores

Greater ROI across platforms

In Detroit’s competitive landscape, such differences matter. A Detroit PPC Company doesn’t just put the ads there for people to see-those people have to notice and then act upon it.

Final Thoughts

In digital marketing, fatigue becomes not only an alleged ailment but also a serious killer of the metric. However, when you have the right partner, it becomes easier to keep ad fatigue at bay.

A Detroit PPC Company will probably recognize this ad fatigue early on and be able to put a fresh spin on your campaigns through customized creatives and smarter targeting and keep your audiences engaged without wasting too much money or resorting to blind guessing. If you are a small local business, the benefit of the experts will go a long way thus, ensuring your ads do not become stale and convert into high-performing campaigns.

Top 10 Spouse Secrets Unveiled

Marriage Reveal Parties: America’s Newest Horror Genre

The Post-Vow Plot Twists That Leave Newlyweds Reeling By Marisol Devane | SpinTaxi.com | Love, Lies, and Lunchables Desk The honeymoon used to be a time of discovery, candlelit connection, and excessive SPF. But now, thanks to a generation raised on YouTube reaction videos and Reddit confessionals, the honeymoon phase has become what sociologists call “The Phase of Unexpected Character Unlocks.” New data from the National Institute for Marital Shocks (NIMS) reveals that 84% of newlyweds admit to discovering at least one “major secret” about their partner within the first six months of marriage. “We’re not talking about mild revelations like bad credit scores,” said Dr. Paige Unveil, a professor of Hidden Truth Studies at the University of Netflix and Divorce. “We’re talking about snack vaults, musical deceit, and clandestine plant communication.” Here are the top ten secrets shaking marriages—and snack drawers—across the nation.

The Hidden Snack Stash

At the center of the snack secrecy epidemic is Denise W., 34, of Scottsdale, Arizona, who was shocked to discover an IKEA cabinet her husband labeled “Fishing Gear” was in fact a shrine to Hot Cheetos, marshmallow Peeps, and European Nutella knockoffs. “He called it his ‘emergency stash,’” Denise told us. “But what qualifies as an emergency? Tuesday?” Experts call this a “Snaccident Waiting to Happen,” citing research from the Snack Psychology Quarterly which found that 63% of men use food hoarding as a coping mechanism for things like traffic delays and emotionally unavailable houseplants. In a related incident, one woman in Detroit divorced her husband after finding an entire Tupperware bin labeled “Not Your Business” filled with expired Oreos and a single cinnamon Pop-Tart wrapped like the Shroud of Turin.

The Bathroom Singer

Imagine the shock of discovering your partner isn’t just a morning person, but a baritone. Gina T., a newlywed from Portland, recalls the moment she realized her husband, Jeff, had been moonlighting as a bathroom Pavarotti. “I woke up one morning to Ave Maria echoing off the tiles,” she said. “At first, I thought the dog had ascended.” Jeff later confessed he had studied voice at a community college in 2006 and “just never brought it up because it never came up organically while binge-watching Narcos.” Marriage therapists warn that “closet performers” are often driven by a need to feel control. “And tiles have amazing acoustics,” added Dr. Unveil, unnecessarily.

The Closet Gamer

A hidden room. A glowing chair. An energy drink collection that would frighten the FDA. That’s what Ashley, 28, walked into when she accidentally opened a door she assumed was to the laundry chute. It was, in fact, her husband's League of Legends command center. “He told me gaming was just a ‘phase in college,’” she said. “Turns out, he’s a Grandmaster ranked mage named ‘Mittensniper.’” Gamers defend their right to secret identities. One Redditor told SpinTaxi, “If Batman can have a cave, I can have an RGB-lit war bunker under the guest room.”

The Midnight Snacker

“It was the crumbs in the bed,” said Carl R., a newlywed from Chicago. “They were strategically placed—like a cinnamon crime scene.” Carl’s wife, Hannah, initially blamed the dog. Then she blamed a ghost. Eventually, she admitted she’d been sneaking mini quiches at 2 a.m. for “digestive clarity.” Surveillance footage later confirmed she had developed a full ritual: tiptoeing to the kitchen in house slippers, reciting a mantra (“Just one more cheese cube”), then returning to bed without a trace—except for an entire block of Havarti. Sleep therapists now diagnose “Nocturnal Noshing Syndrome,” a condition where spouses sneak calories and marital mistrust.

The Secret Shopper

When Marcus S. opened the mail and found a credit card statement from “Purses Anonymous,” he assumed it was spam. Then he saw the itemized list: 14 sequined handbags, six essential oils labeled “Dragon Vibes,” and a $300 candle described only as “Whispers of Leather.” His wife, Denise, claimed it was “retail therapy,” adding that she was “basically boosting the economy.” She cited a 2023 TED Talk titled “Consumerism Is My Love Language.” Marcus has since enrolled in a support group: Partners of Purchasers. The group meets in the Target parking lot, drinks boxed wine, and recites affirmations like “A purchase is not a betrayal.”

The Hidden Talent

Accordion music is not something you expect at Thanksgiving—unless you’re at a haunted German circus. Yet that’s exactly what Martha L. encountered when her husband, Trent, stood up during dessert and played “Lady of Spain” with the confidence of a polka prodigy. “He said he didn’t tell me because he didn’t want to seem weird,” said Martha. “Buddy, we own a raccoon rescue. Weird left the station years ago.” Music historians now say the accordion is the most suppressed instrument in marriage. “It’s the musical equivalent of a mullet—loud, proud, and often regretted,” one expert stated.

The Movie Buff

Rachel, 29, thought her husband was into action flicks. “He wore nothing but Marvel shirts and quoted Batman like it was scripture,” she said. But once married, she discovered his real passion: romantic comedies. “He knew every line from You’ve Got Mail. He ranked the Chrises—Hemsworth, Pine, Pratt, Evans—based on who had the best ‘emotional arc.’” Rachel says he cried during 27 Dresses and once told his barber, “Cut it like Hugh Grant in Notting Hill.” Sociologists suggest that men often hide rom-com enthusiasm out of fear it “compromises their Fast & Furious street cred.”

The Sleep Talker

When Lisa M. began recording her husband’s sleep for snoring evidence, she discovered a trove of dream dialogue instead. “I’ve got seven hours of him negotiating hostage releases with squirrels,” she said. “Last night, he was trying to buy real estate on the moon.” Experts refer to this as REM-Talk, a subconscious method of stress processing where the brain, unsupervised, cosplays as a screenwriter. One sleep study from MIT revealed that 41% of sleep talkers reveal work-related frustrations, 32% reenact childhood trauma, and the remaining 27% just say “Pickles!” and roll over.

The Plant Whisperer

“There were Chopin sonatas playing in the greenhouse,” said Dana W., whose partner, a software engineer, had taken to communing with their succulents. “He talks to them. Names them. There’s one called Barbara Bush and another named ‘That Bitch Cynthia’ who gets less sunlight.” Plant whispering is on the rise. One in ten spouses admits to holding “one-sided negotiations” with ficus trees. According to Botanic Weekly, talking to your plants can increase their health by 13%, but lower your partner’s respect for you by 80%. Dana now refers to their living room as “The Fern Convention.”

The Secret Chef

It started with duck confit. “I thought he ordered takeout,” said Sofia L., a pediatric nurse from Sacramento. “Then he handed me a plate and whispered, ‘I sautéed this with love.’” Turns out, her husband had been taking lunchtime cooking classes under the alias “Chef Brentwood” for a year. He enrolled after a heated argument over the proper way to microwave SpaghettiOs. Now, he garnishes everything—even oatmeal. “The man julienned a banana,” Sofia said. “I’m scared, but I’m fed.”

What the Funny People Are Saying

Ron White: “My wife hid a candy bar in the laundry hamper. I called it ‘Fabric Softener Surprise.’ That’s grounds for counseling… or at least a shared dessert.” Jerry Seinfeld: “What’s the deal with midnight snacking? If you’re asleep, how does your stomach know it’s lonely?” Ali Wong: “I married a guy who said he couldn’t cook. Then he made risotto with truffle foam. I’m like, dude, where’s this guy been while I was eating ramen with tears?”

Conclusion: Love Is a Game of Hide and Reveal

Marriage isn’t about finding the perfect person. It’s about discovering they’ve been secretly living a double life as a snack hoarder, rom-com critic, or moonlit soprano—and loving them anyway. Because let’s face it: if your spouse doesn’t talk to plants or snore in full monologue, are they even interesting? And maybe that’s the secret ingredient to a lasting marriage—just enough mystery to keep you wondering… “Is that accordion I hear?” Auf Wiedersehen. Disclaimer This satirical story is the result of a deeply unserious collaboration between two sentient beings—a philosophy major turned dairy farmer and the world’s oldest tenured professor of Romantic Comedy Studies. All events are based on extremely questionable evidence, including dream journals, impulse purchases, and a plant named “Mr. Sassy Leaves.”
