You are confusing friends with popularity. You don't want to hear thier nonsense (though you could pretend to listen to curry popularity) you want them all to bask in the glow that is you and keep that number rising.
I'd like to agree with you but there are serious efforts to stack the Supreme Court with less than honest judges. if we lose the judicial branch to corruption the US is totally fkd.
Agree nearly 100%. Only exception is the comey thing was a serious violation of the hatch act. She latched on and used it as an excuse, obviously, but it scares the absolute FK out of me the FBI (and possibly other agencies) are so openly political.
What is hypocritical to me is the obama did it so it's ok. Seriously people, if you aren't comfortable with data being used this way agree both campaigns made you uncomfortable (even if in different ways) and change the system. Two wrongs don't make a free pass to justify it as right forever more.
Oh I agree. Fox News just fawned over obamas every move, praising him constantly. They never really dig in to find any issues, but that's why they eventually ditched the whole "fair and balanced" motto. So at least they were honest about it.
I don't really feel like defending Obama because I disagree with a lot of what he did but explain to me this:
Did Obama's campaign hire foreign nationals to do the scraping? Remember, it's illegal to hire foreign nationals directly.
Did Obama's campaign break the TOS of facebook or any other data privacy laws?
Was Obama's campaign transparent in his methods? Because Cambridge Analyitica is secretive, uses shell companies and encrypted self deleting emails, and Nix is on tape saying he happily lies, uses honey pots and the like, and misdirects - did Obama engage in hiring people who use those methods?
Did obama's campaign use fake web logs, fake news articles, and other knowingly factually incorrect sources, in a highly targeted approach to misdirecting unsuspecting undecided voters?
You may consider it splitting hairs, I certainly don't approve of Obama's use of invasion of privicy for his social media campaign, but this looks like a case of comparing theft of a stack of free newspapers to a bank robbery.

Ohh, it's nothing. Remember Nix got suspended from his position as head of that shell company front - that's just them returning the contents of his virtual desk.
Now that thousands of apps have downloaded it, and each has backed it up to multiple locations, it should be simplicity itself to stuff that cat right back into its bag.
Ahh thanks I had not read that. It's refreshing to go back and read the corruption from the good old days when it was just a few million or two of foreign money or amount over small donor limits. 2008 was before citizens united and a measly 35 million was in PACs. Now it's over a third billion, there is absolutely no accounting anymore, and they openly collude with candidates (which is still highly illegal for now).
I feel like this may be a waste of time, but, I'd like to answer your questions.
Did Obama's campaign hire foreign nationals to do the scraping?
If anyone at facebook was working on a H1B visa, -or- if there were any foreign offices of facebook during '12, then yes, there were foreign nationals involved with the scraping.
I'm not a lawyer, but I think this is a difference. You cannot directly hire foreign nationals and pay them like CA. For example, AT&T may have H1B employees, but that dosent mean a robocall campaign would run afoul of campaign finance law. If obama paid foreign nationals directly, I'd like to know.
Was Obama's campaign transparent in his methods? Because Cambridge Analyitica is secretive, uses shell companies and encrypted self deleting emails, and Nix is on tape saying he happily lies, uses honey pots and the like, and misdirects - did Obama engage in hiring people who use those methods?
No, I'd say his campaign was downright giddy and braggadocious about invading 1 billions people privacy. As for CA's shifty dealings, I'll agree they were underhanded, but pail in comparison to the free information shoveled to the DNC about, well, basically anyone who has a facebook account, or even is close friends IRL with someone who has a facebook account.
That to me sounds like obama was fairly open with what he was doing, though I do not agree with it due to privacy reasons myself
Did obama's campaign use fake web logs, fake news articles, and other knowingly factually incorrect sources, in a highly targeted approach to misdirecting unsuspecting undecided voters?
Yes.
I realize he did targeted ads, but I can't find purposefully fake information. Could you provide an example? It's easier for me to get a perspective when I have others to see how they think so thanks.

I plug in Alexa and let it listen to hours of random YouTube videos from a dummy account. I can only imagine it's a self inducing insanity for any listening algorithms.
The article appearing adjacent to this in slashdot's feed is indistinguishable from paranoia. Except it's not paranoia if they really are out to get you.
Even if it means more food, changing weather will change where it grows. Once prosperous regions can go infertile, and arid regions fertile. This will cause mass refugee problems and or outright war. That's where the real risk is and why the US millitary has been taking it seriously for 30 years now.

You left out Hillary buying up the DCCC debt, owning it financially, then voting herself in as the primary candidate. You also left out where the DNC said “The party has the freedom of association to decide how it’s gonna select its representatives to the convention and to the state party,” said Spiva. “Even to define what constitutes evenhandedness and impartiality really would already drag the court well into a political question and a question of how the party runs its own affairs. The party could have favored a candidate. I’ll put it that way.”

He said he was sorry 60 billion times. Give the guy a tax break already.

Hawking's bets were premised on the idea that it would make verification or falsification headline news and guarantee the limelight be shared.
Since the bets were always that one of his theories was wrong, he also guaranteed a win either way.
That's what makes both science and Hawking great.
Microsoft leads all other major companies in the sheer number of participation awards.

It does make it harder for third parties to scrape your data.
It's never to late to act sensibly.
Ok, so you are in your "sellar". Water is low, food is gone. Now what? Lol
He lost a bet with Susskind as well about information conservation. Although the war of ideas was great for theoretical physics. Susskind is my favorite physicist because he puts all of his general study courses online. His class on general relativity is excellent

100% humidity dosent mean rain. A sauna can be 120F and 100% humidity. Get locked in one for 6 hours and it can easily be a death sentence.
