Does anyone here know what % of Greens are anti-vax? Every time I check the Google it only discusses Stein's views, not the party in general.

I'd like to publicly challenge Thomas Friedman to learn a new skill or trade. But he'd probably just start babbling about a time his grandkid showed him how to download an app.

QuarkJets posted:Follow that up with all of the hubbub over the government asking Apple to unlock some cell phone and then one day just saying "Nevermind, we didn't need your help after all". You're a bit confused: the only good encryption is open source encryption, because then it can be mathematically proven to work well, since you know exactly how it works. AES and so on are all "open source". Closed source encryption is often a terrible idea because you don't know if they've implemented something that actually works well and doesn't have gaping flaws, and a lot of the time it's just various "open source" encryption techniques with some useless extra fluff on top.

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out if that's a majority of Greens or merely a vocal minority. Considering that their platform calls for a moratorium on all GMOs, I'm leaning towards the former possibility.

Idiot hipster I work with indicated that he wanted to vote for Gary Johnson today. He and his family have been living paycheck to paycheck for years since he knocked his wife up when they were both in college. They've both got significant student loan debt. I'd argue with him but he tend to blow up when people disagree with him, especially when it comes to issues that he's incredibly ignorant about. You'd think a loving business major would know how tax brackets work but no, he thinks getting bumped into a higher tax bracket is a thing. For context he put his daughter on a gluten-free diet because she's a little chunky for her age, preached about the benefits of zero-drop shoes despite never running further than a few miles, and wants to jam his family of four into a tiny house. Basically he will restructure his life based on a halfway competent click-bait article.

Is there a version of this that's not Taylor-Swift-themed? Or something similar making the same case? I've got no issue with TSwift, but it's less easily shareable in professional contexts because of that stylistic decision.

It is a simplification for sure though, which makes it not perfect. The data it uses makes way more assumptions though.

I'd love thread-takes on a question I've been kicking around for a while. USPOL! How will Choice-Supportive Bias impact the Democratic Party's future, given the number of Republicans who are voting for Hillary? Choice-Supportive Bias is the tendency to seek out information supporting and retroactively justify the decision you made. The potential here is that if Hillary enacts her tax plan and other economic policies, social justice reforms, or other programs, Clinton-Voting Republicans are more likely to view those developments as positive changes because they chose the candidate who implemented them. It's basically the concept SedanChair is bitching about upthread (or why a subset of people are convinced Clinton's a DINO) but internecine left angle is so played out. Instead.... Do you think this is a thing? If so, how can Democrats and Progressives utilize it to shift the center in American Politics? Consider that for Anti-Trump Republicans who didn't bail from the party, a similar effect is occurring for those who rallied around the normally unpalatable Ted Cruz. A few of my thoughts: Use the hell out of Bill. In May, he had a 16pt edge on Hillary among Rs and a 9pt edge with Is on favorability. Which shouldn't be surprising, given a GOP theme of 2012 was "Why can't Obama be a good Democrat, like Bill was?" Target messages to these voters who flipped, through traditionally conservative-heavy media (sports, finance, CBS shows). Microtargeting should help with this. And find messages that hit conservative themes (Secure Paid Family Medical Leave? Find a family willing to talk about how much better having a new baby was under the new rules than the old way. Secure retraining benefits? Find someone whose life improved after their company outsourced) Heavy midterm campaign presence, data sharing and campaign infrastructure assistance. Dems need statehouses in 2020, and it can get easier with retaking the House, minimizing Senate losses and field testing messaging in purple districts. e: Jackson Taus posted:Is there a version of this that's not Taylor-Swift-themed? Or something similar making the same case? I've got no issue with TSwift, but it's less easily shareable in professional contexts because of that stylistic decision. Author deleted it from the less-themed Medium, it looks like. Archives may still have it, but yeah, CC-BY so just attribute (swiftonsecurity.tumblr.com isn't going to raise any eyebrows, other than for people in on the joke. Who you don't have to worry about anyway). If you're not down with Infosec Taylor Swift though, we can't be internet friends

Anyone heard anything about any new polling in Texas? The last one from 538 is a YouGov from early June and Trump was up five... kinda want to see if the month long Trumpster fire has created the most absolute comedic possible result for this election -- Texas as a swing state. Can't imagine the GOP would react well to a Trump +1 and I imagine it'll be the end of The Donald if Clinton is leading.Grondoth posted:It's also super understandable if you look at it for more than 14 seconds.

I thought it gave a pretty good idea of what Trump is facing -- just roadblock after roadblock from the electoral college and a nearly impossible path.

AES and so on are all "open source". Yes yes I'm aware of the open source ideal of "the software will reach a point of perfection because literally anyone can look at and modify the source code!" But that's a double-edged sword, as it is also very easy to subtly compromise open source software, especially when the topic is as poorly-understood among programmers as cryptography often is. And while there are some great open source projects, the reality is that most of them suck and if you just close your eyes and pick some random open source encryption project off of github then chances are good that you're going to have something lovely and full of vulnerabilities because encryption is legit hard, yo. e: Also please note that you're the one turning this into an open vs closed source argument. My point was simply that "open source" is not a magic bullet to software vulnerability QuarkJets fucked around with this message at 06:00 on Aug 7, 2016 |

"Clinton's hitting 50 pretty often now, whereas Trump hasn't hit 46 ever in any scenario, and my own models show he is a huge loser. "Set beside the grand sweep of infinity though, aren't these basically the same numbers - or at least so close as to be the same to all but the eye of the creator himself? As a pollster, will I claim to know the set of inifinity well enough to make any value judgement at all? I think not, and thus I say that I think people just don't like her, despite my data saying otherwise, because ignoring my polling worked well in the GOP primary"

I would love to hear what 'worst' moments of hers are anywhere near Trump's worst. Like, do we mean polling because that's not true. Do we mean behavior because that's not true. Do we mean amount of implied incest thoughts because that super isn't true!

Ah yes, noted political pundit Nate Silver, known for his ability to make value judgements not attached to mathematical statistics like Donald Trump could never win the Republican primary. I'm very confident in his non-math based opinions.

Trump's worst moments, from this past couple weeks alone, include insulting the parents of a man who died serving his country and implying by making a poo poo ton of money he 'sacrificed' for his country too. From this campaign alone include him saying he'd ban an entire faith from immigrating to the country, calling an entire country's immigrant's rapists, mocking a disabled man's disability, encouraging his fans to beat up protesters, and generally running on a platform of pure white nationalism. Please someone tell me what Hillary's worst was that comes near any of those.

Johnny 5 has more natural charisma and likability than any candidate in recent memory, it's a pretty lovely branding attempt by Trump imho Probably stems from jealousy. Trump catches heat because he hasn't read the Bible, whereas Johnny 5 can read a hundred Bibles a minute
