Russia, almost certainly, used Wikileaks to dump hacked documents in order to influence the 2016 election. The CIA is also accused of hack and dump operations more recently -- welcome to the 21st century.
If what you're claiming is true, how is that even a problem? The documents were of interest to the public, so WikiLeaks was right to publish them. They showed that the DNC was trying to kneecap Bernie Sanders' campaign. Should WikiLeaks have helped cover that up?
News influences elections. There's nothing wrong with that.
I've been reading "Sleeping on the Wing" on and off recently -- I think it's meant more as an intro for older school kids but I've never read poetry outside of school and it's been an interesting overview of different poets and styles.
Do you find it similarly interesting that a 5 year old account with 3 other posts and a few comments posted a 1.5 year old article and managed to get over 300 upvotes on it?
Works at my local Safeway, as of yesterday. There was a period of time over a year ago during which Jenny's number didn't work at a different Safeway but it's been reliable at this one, so far.
Your vague plan of just stop corporate lobbying immediately fails because the negative incentives for someone in congress vastly outweighs the positive.
RFPs work in every industry. Depending on the bill, Congress should request proposals or maintain a list of credentialed experts overseen by a watchdog agency outside of their control. Or they could be nominated by professional organizations and guilds.
Either way, no, Google, Shell, et al should not be allowed to spend X dollars sending former members of Congress or others to advocate for them, especially when experts in those fields, or scientists, contradict them.
Regardless, throwing our hands up and shrugging it off is absolutely the wrong course of action.
We're in the middle of a cloud migration, but in our dockerized environment we're sending logs directly from stdout to cloudwatch using Docker's cloudwatch plugin.
In our legacy environment we're writing to files and sending them up to cloudwatch using awslogs.
Cloudwatch is kind of ass for logging, but they added insights somewhat recently; it upgraded cloudwatch logs from being unusable to just being a pain in the ass to use.
This works for us so far because it's super simple and we don't have a major need for log analytics, just the occasional production debugging session.
I did a PoC for fluentd + logdna/logz/etc and that also seemed to work pretty well.
This is just cheap twitter advertising -- the only thing different about this(from Wendy's twitter advertising) is that Amazon is harnessing Twitter's outrage lust to get more eyeballs on their ambassador's nice words and it looks like it works.
Right. Most "free speech absolutists" are only absolutists when it comes to viewpoint neutrality, not when it comes to issues like incitement, false advertising, or defamation.
And frankly, a lot of people who loudly proclaim their love of free speech aren't even close to being absolutists in that sense; they'll talk up the marketplace of ideas and the importance of rational discourse as long as they're under threat, then suddenly lose interest in the issue when restrictions are applied to the outgroup.
