    This.

    Hillary has a huge advantage, so far, because there is no mudslinging primary going on for her.

    The GOP is a fucking circus and after the the lead clown evaporates, the remainders are not very exciting to listen to.

    Hillary appeals to LGBTQ, immigrants, poor, middle class, etc.

    She does have baggage and the GOP has leveraged that too soon. As one poster pointed out, the attention span of the public is about two weeks. If she can get past the emails, she's a shoe-in.

    She testifies in October about Benghazi, I think, but a bipartisan panel has already cleared her of that.

    I want Clinton to win because I support the things she does, and I'd like to see a woman president.

    I wouldnot pee down both legs if Bush won, though.

    I survived the womanizing Kennedy, the crooks Nixon and Agnew, and the other war-mongering Bushes, so I ain't skeered or stuff.

    OK.

    Woman is raped and the police arrest a suspect. He's thrown in jail for three months while an investigation moves forward.

    The lady said the perp was about 6' tall and heavy. This dude is 5'6" and skinny. He maintains that he's innocent.

    The lady says it's not him because his build is wrong.

    They take the perp's DNA. It doesn't match the sperm. Still, they hold him for a while.

    Authorities take DNA samples of men with opportunity and, BANG!, they find the 6'2" heavy-set guy.

    The original man is released.

    Fast forward 3 months. This guy applies for a job and doesn't get it. He has friends working there and they tell him it's because he was once accused of rape, according to HR Google search.

    He says, "But I was exonerated."

    They say HR doesn't want to have to deal with the mess and they will just pick another guy with less baggage.

    Dude tells Google to forget him.

    Google says there's a story out there about a guy who was accused of rape but was found to be innocent and that fact is relevant to research. It's a fact in evidence and should be available.

    --

    The guy's story is part of the public record. The problem here is HR, but the hurt is on the guy. I say tough shit. Sue HR.

    That model lady in Spain covered that. Her likeness was used at porn sites as a lure. She never did porn.

    She demanded that Google allow searches of her that linked to professional or promotional content, but that Google block any listings that went to porn sites.

    Google told her to fuck off and go after the individual porn sites that were using her likeness without her permission.

    She said there were too many sites and she couldn't afford it.

    You might as well say that cars can't be any faster than their creators.

    No.

    I might as well have said what I did.

    Toyota had some computerization that supported fast cars but failed to add anything to the process that was smarter than its creators.

    What has Toyota said about sudden acceleration?

            First, Toyota blamed its drivers, claiming that drivers pushed the accelerator instead of the brake.
            Then Toyota blamed floor mats, claiming that gas pedals could become entrapped by the floor mat.
            Then Toyota blamed the floor pan design, claiming that gas pedals could become trapped in the floorboard.
            Then Toyota blamed “sticky” gas pedals, claiming that the gas pedals did not return to idle.

    Notice there's no "artificial intelligence" that suggests that things are not going to end well and stuff.

    Look at TV. It has two basic business models:

    1.) "Free." as in advertiser supported
    2.) "Paywalled," as in pay per view
    3.) Hybrid of subscription with advertisements. (most common here in US; subscribe to cable or other and suffer through ads))

    That same structure will work on the Internet.

    You are correct in that places that refuse to show me content with the admonition to turn off Ad Blocker lose my eyeballs and I do go somewhere else.

    Still, that's the content provider's choice and if enough sites take that approach, we'll be disabling Ad Block.
