Here we are a few weeks later, and we have already acquired the proof that #Katie Couric’s ‘Under the #Gun’ is about as accurate as the NY Times’ discredited hit piece on Trump.
“We did quote-unquote debut it last week. But we have no intention of doing anything with it, if you will,” DeCleene told AdWeek. “It’s literally a one-off, isolated promotion. If anything, it’s truly meant to give props to #Salt Lake, because for a city that size, 1,500 miles away from us, we just thought, ‘Wow, that’s killer.’ “
Gonzalez pressed the SDUSD for the name change presumably for her own personal reasons, because she certainly wasn’t prompted by any public outcry. As reported by Breitbart:
#School City of Mishawaka is looking to make several improvements at its schools, but it needs approval from the #school board and from Mishawaka voters first.
They’ve done a very similar experiment before, and the results were significant. In a paper published earlier this year in Nature, Fowler and his colleagues announced that a #Facebook message and behavior-sharing communication increased the probability that a person votes by slightly more than 2 percent. That may not seem like a huge effect, but when you have a huge population, as Facebook does, a small uptick in probability means substantial changes in voting behavior.
Facebook confirmed in a paper in Science that it often shows users news from users with similar political beliefs, and on average, you’re about 6 percent less likely to see content that the other political side favors. This means that who you’re friends with and their political beliefs influence what you see more than th algorithm does.
What happens, though, if such technologies are misused by the companies that own them? A study by Robert M Bond, now a political science professor at Ohio State University, and others published in Nature in 2012 described an ethically questionable experiment in which, on #election day in 2010, Facebook sent ‘go out and vote’ reminders to more than 60 million of its users. The reminders caused about 340,000 people to vote who otherwise would not have. Writing in the New Republic in 2014, Jonathan Zittrain, professor of international law at Harvard University, pointed out that, given the massive amount of information it has collected about its users, Facebook could easily send such messages only to people who support one particular party or candidate, and that doing so could easily flip a close election – with no one knowing that this has occurred. And because advertisements, like search rankings, are ephemeral, manipulating an election in this way would leave no paper trail.

The uncomfortable scene is a familiar one to anybody who has ever visited a #theme park: The overweight rider becomes increasingly embarrassed as the ride attendant pushes and shoves with all his might on the over-the-shoulder restraint that stubbornly refuses to click closed.

The RAID Act – Requiring Accountability and Inspections for Dining Service – would subject the #VA to the same health standards as private hospital kitchens, which includes shutting down the facility until problems are corrected.

In its report on the still-censored “28 pages” implicating the Saudi government in 9/11, “60 Minutes” last weekend said the Saudi role in the attacks has been “soft-pedaled” to protect America’s delicate alliance with the oil-rich kingdom.

There is nothing wrong with attack ads: Trump’s first attack ad against Hillary Clinton was creative, original, imaginative – it included Jihadi John, a barking Hillary Clinton and a cackling Putin. It promptly went viral. Hillary’s retort was basically a duller version of the original Trump ad; it was ok although Hillary’s SuperPAC will have to do much better to keep the entertainment level on par.
