[Mega] MAGA Super Trump Mega Thread

Jimmy Dore is being turned out of the leftist club for not towing the line on russia gate and calling out the main stream media for being nothing more than a corporate propaganda puppet show.

His belief that a third party can bring about real change is adorable.
 
it's a bitter pill to swallow but it's better than voting for repub-lite democrats. what does leftism have to do with any of that? do you think that the DNC is leftist, or that third-way democrats pandering to a mythical center is a characteristic of progressive or leftists dems?
 
what would people think if i started posting breitbart alex jones videos? please guys step away from the unfiltered progressives
 
The great British Brexit robbery: how our democracy was hijacked | Technology | The Guardian

This is not just a story about social psychology and data analytics. It has to be understood in terms of a military contractor using military strategies on a civilian population. Us. David Miller, a professor of sociology at Bath University and an authority in psyops and propaganda, says it is “an extraordinary scandal that this should be anywhere near a democracy. It should be clear to voters where information is coming from, and if it’s not transparent or open where it’s coming from, it raises the question of whether we are actually living in a democracy or not.”

Paul and David, another ex-Cambridge Analytica employee, were working at the firm when it introduced mass data-harvesting to its psychological warfare techniques. “It brought psychology, propaganda and technology together in this powerful new way,” David tells me.

And it was Facebook that made it possible. It was from Facebook that Cambridge Analytica obtained its vast dataset in the first place. Earlier, psychologists at Cambridge University harvested Facebook data (legally) for research purposes and published pioneering peer-reviewed work about determining personality traits, political partisanship, sexuality and much more from people’s Facebook “likes”. And SCL/Cambridge Analytica contracted a scientist at the university, Dr Aleksandr Kogan, to harvest new Facebook data. And he did so by paying people to take a personality quiz which also allowed not just their own Facebook profiles to be harvested, but also those of their friends – a process then allowed by the social network.

Facebook was the source of the psychological insights that enabled Cambridge Analytica to target individuals. It was also the mechanism that enabled them to be delivered on a large scale.

The company also (perfectly legally) bought consumer datasets – on everything from magazine subscriptions to airline travel – and uniquely it appended these with the psych data to voter files. It matched all this information to people’s addresses, their phone numbers and often their email addresses. “The goal is to capture every single aspect of every voter’s information environment,” said David. “And the personality data enabled Cambridge Analytica to craft individual messages.”

Finding “persuadable” voters is key for any campaign and with its treasure trove of data, Cambridge Analytica could target people high in neuroticism, for example, with images of immigrants “swamping” the country. The key is finding emotional triggers for each individual voter.

Cambridge Analytica worked on campaigns in several key states for a Republican political action committee. Its key objective, according to a memo the Observer has seen, was “voter disengagement” and “to persuade Democrat voters to stay at home”: a profoundly disquieting tactic. It has previously been claimed that suppression tactics were used in the campaign, but this document provides the first actual evidence.

After some time and thought I have begun to agree with the minimum wage increase. I think it is the best idea ever.

Miso Robotics scores some cheddar for its burger-flipping robot | ZDNet

Miso Robotics, creator of a burger flipping robot named Flippy, today announced $10 million in Series B financing.

The round was led by Acacia Research Corporation.
Last year, Flippy scored a coup when it debuted with high marks a Pasadena CaliBurger, a trendy fast-food chain in tech-obsessed California. CaliBurger also preordered dozens of units for additional restaurants under a short-term exclusive contract.

"We are thrilled by the growing confidence in Miso Robotics and remain committed to fulfilling our goal of modernizing the $3 trillion global prepared foods industry," said David Zito, co-founder and CEO of Miso.

The size of the industry, coupled with rising minimum wages, has prompted a rush to create automation solutions in fast food.

Zume Pizza recently landed nearly $50 million in funding to bring robots into the pizza delivery space.
