Most people can not name more than 50 friends or relatives strictly from memory. With address books and contacts etc they can stretch it to about 150 to 200 range. If asked to "like" or "dislike" people, entities, national groups, any grouping, most people can not go beyond 200 without resorting to paper, notes and other aids.
That's a load of horse shit.
Your average tween can prattle off endlessly about the mundane details of hundreds of celebrities they've never met, including up-to-the-minute relationship statuses, fashion choices, career info, and a personal rating of how much they hate/love that person.
You've got the same thing with weeaboos and their anime and video games.
You've got the same thing with little boys and dinosaurs, construction equipment, and sometimes trains.
You've got the same thing with movie buffs, baseball stat nerds (most of these guys are dead now, though), military history aficionados, Trekkies, gun enthusiasts, comic book nerds, gear heads, soap opera / asian drama fans, etc.
Who cares when CA was founded? Facebook is the issue here. CA just bought data from Facebook. Facebook was more than happy to sell it without any contract or enforceable terms in place. Facebook was also happy to include data that they shouldn't have been collecting (per user preferences).
Obama used Facebook data the same way. He was applauded for it.
The best part is the media is now trying to discredit all of it by pumping out "news" and late night monologues that lambaste the conspiracy as fake, baseless, etc., Q as a nutjob or possibly some dangerous individual, and the people following the whole mess as stupid, gullible losers.
Expect to see a lot about Q and this conspiracy in the media soon, as they try to laugh it off the stage.
All they'll do is bring it to more people's attention, and get more people on the side of exposing this shit.
I'm gonna go ahead and assume we're talking about a clock with arms, not some digital shit. But even then, that's not necessarily true. It's hands could have fallen off. Or it could be moving too fast or too slow, and the frequency at which it momentarily lines up with the correct time is less than twice a day. Or it could be moving at the correct speed, but be off by a significant amount, and the mechanism to adjust the time is broken. Or its movement could be broken such that it never displays a valid time - for example, the hour hand could be directly on the 3 when the minute hand is on the 6. Etc.
Now, if we're talking about a stopped clock, then sure. As long as it's stopped in a valid time position, it'll be correct twice a day. Mostly. What if you've got it stopped at 2 AM in a location that observes daylight saving time? What if it's stopped at 12:00 noon but it's orbiting Earth above the equator one and half times per day? (But can such a clock be referred to as "stopped"?)
They agreed when they signed up for Facebook. Facebook collected the data. Facebook claims ownership over all data you send to the. Facebook ignored their user's privacy settings. Facebook sold that data.
At worst, CA is guilty of violating a Facebook ToS regarding the use of that data.
The created a Facebook app. It looked innocent, one of those stupid personality tests. But in the ToS that no-one read it said it would grab your private data AND the private data of your friends.
That last bit is definitely illegal. You can't agree to give up personal data on behalf of your friends. About 300k people took the test, 50m people's data was stolen.
How is it illegal? Cite the law, please.
How, exactly, did it grab that data? Did it reach out to people's PC's and grab it? Or did they buy it from Facebook?
What setting to NOT share that kind of data was ignored? A setting in CA? Or a setting in Facebook?
"Promising free shit to the young, stupid, and lazy worked out so great for Bernie, didn't it?"
That's a very interesting and excellent example. Bernie easily would have beat Trump.
Yes, he would have.
Bernie did not lose to Hitlery - she played dirty pulling the woman card and IOUs. In the process she shafted the Democratic party causing them to lose to Trump (who is not a Republican but an Opportunist) in the end.
So without Clinton's dirty politics against her own party you would now be saying just how well it did indeed work for Bernie.
So if it had worked I'd be saying it worked? Well, it didn't work. And that's because Bernie played his hand too early. He was a fringe loon for a long time, but he came out of the gate too fast with his socialism carrot for the rabid youth fan base. He should have known what the establishment does to upstarts like himself - Bernie's certainly old enough to remember how Ron Paul and his grassroots support was treated in the primaries.
HRC and the DNC conspired against Bernie as soon as they saw his massive support. Hillary had been promised the crown after the DNC screwed her in 2008 (when their polling showed a black man had a better shot than a woman and they groomed Obama for his run). If Bernie had played a slower game and not tipped his hand too early, HRC and the DNC would have had a harder time knee capping him later in the game.
Trump did it perfectly (intentionally or by luck, who knows). Everyone thought he was a joke, the media gave him tons of attention because making fun of him brought in the ratings, and the DNC kept giving him rope in the hopes that he would hang himself. Then later in the game they realized what they had created, but it was too late to stop him.
People keep pointing out that Bernie would have beaten Trump. These are probably the same people who argue about the popular vote. You have to win the race you're running. Bernie was up against HRC and her bullshit, yet he made almost no plays to stop her. In the end, HRC, the DNC, and the media fucked him over super hard, then did the same to themselves.
You mean the fact he did far better in the primaries then anyone expected him to do? So yes, it seems it worked out amazingly well. Had the playing field not been so heavily weighted to his opponent he probably would have cinched the nomination.
It worked out so well they stole the election from him and forced him to cuck himself and officially announce he was supporting Hillary. So, it didn't work out. It's a good way to drum up noise with the young/dumb/lazy, but it's a bad way to win. The powers that be do not like that kind of candidate unless they know they can control them once they're installed.
Bernie was all about this mess loud and clear from the get go and the DNC had time to conspire against him. This guy's getting a 6 year jump on repeating that mistake.
I pity the guy/gal who was just doing his/her job and is now charged with whatever they charge you with for negligently hitting people to death with your vehicle.
Why pity them? They killed someone by not paying attention while driving. Oh, they were told the car drove itself and was safe? And they didn't question why they needed to be there at all if the car drove itself and was safe?
Promising free shit to the young, stupid, and lazy worked out so great for Bernie, didn't it?
These people should first worry about the DNC existing long enough to put forth a candidate in 2020. It's a bit premature to be hobbling together a hollow platform that will only get you Bernied.
Beyond that, why are you planning for action in 2020 when you'll be up against an incumbent POTUS? (For all of you who can't fathom Trump being reelected - Bush Jr. was reviled and won reelection, and the popular vote, easily. This happened because he was the incumbent and people fear change. The DNC put forth a bland turkey-burger candidate knowing they didn't want to waste any real effort against an incumbent. And of course, Obama sat and watched as the economy burned and our rights were stripped away and the surveillance state grew. He, too, won reelection handily.)
You save your plays until 2024 unless you want to tip your hand and risk being scooped. It might make sense to throw your hat into the ring in 2020 and get your name out there, but you do NOT put your platform out there. It'll just have 4 extra years to be dismantled, attacked, made irrelevant, or copied.
Power cut out as they approached 40 TeV, the room got super cold, and when power was restored Father was gone. In the chair were Father's clothes and effects. If you don't know who "Father" was, or what the LHC is actually doing, you need to wake the fuck up. Remember the recent explosions at the LHC?
I know you clowns won't go look into it, and will instead wallow in your ignorance, so I'll offer you the quickest summary possible: The people in control of the LHC and CERN are basically replicating Doom (the video game).
Can science help us alter things outside of our light cone? No, not without breaking causality, in which nothing matters because consequences have no actions and actions have no consequences.
It is. All foreign steel is bullshit, and has been for a long time. The head of Kobe Steel recently stepped down because their scandal got so bad as more and more was revealed.
The worst part is that Obama's administration, working with the RINO who shall not be named, knowingly purchased massive quantities of shoddy, cut rate foreign steel for use in the US military in order to secure those kickbacks. This is why steel and steel-containing products are on Trump's hit list for tariffs.
Flat Earthers don't believe the Earth is flat. It's a joke, and it's fun to try and contrive ridiculous explanations for physical phenomena (moon, stars, day/night cycle, etc.) that pass increasing levels of scrutiny.
They offer nullable hypotheses, accept contradicting evidence, and revise. They're following the exact style of reasoning that astronomers did up until a century or so ago. They're just having a laugh by anchoring to the presumption that the Earth is flat.
If you don't get the joke, you're dumber than you think they are.
Although truly, 720p and 1080p are already indistinguishable when watching a good movie. If you're staring at pixels, you need better content.
Don't derp on yourself, I have way way better than 20/20 vision.
Maybe you didn't comprehend a very very simple point, that was clearly made, because you did a knee-jerk "DERP!" like you always do? Fuck an A, how are you so stupid. How do you not understand such a simple point and yet blather on about 4k as if it is relevant to what I was saying?
And then at the end when you say "of course not," OK just stop there. Don't type more on that subject, because you already admitted it isn't relevant.
For your next trick, maybe you can measure the font size of a book and tell me how much better the resolution is if you have a finer dot pitch font. Because it isn't a different story, and if the experience is different that implies the reader actually missed the experience and talked about something else. If there is so little fucking story that I'm staring at pixels, why would even permit that crap on my screen? Why wouldn't I turn it off and do something else? Notice I said "good" movie, not whatever random shit you watch that doesn't even get your own interest.

a broken 12-hour clock is correct twice a day.
I'm gonna go ahead and assume we're talking about a clock with arms, not some digital shit. But even then, that's not necessarily true.
It's hands could have fallen off.

The human could have hit the brake. A regular human driver would likely have had hands on the wheel as well.
