The news magazine was one of the biggest fear mongers in the Conficker debacle, where it managed to present a photo of an innocent Finnish youth group as the huddle of an evil Russian cyber gang. Sky News Business also used the resources of the Sky News network of bureaus and reporters across Australia and New Zealand. In 2010, it claimed that the agent.btz USB virus "opened a backdoor" in a classified, air gapped military network - a capability nobody else who analyzed the code has ever managed to find. Meanwhile, 60 Minutes completely ignores NSA’s efforts to undermine the crypto algorithms and hardware that protect all our privacy, in favor of oohing and aahing over how close its cameras got to the "black chamber" where code breaking news pooh shiesty (navigate to this site) is done. 60 Minutes also uncritically let Alexander put a shiny gloss on the NSA’s wiretapping of Google’s and Yahoo’s private networks, and asked nothing about NSA’s widespread computer intrusion program. The problem was that eagle-eyed fans noticed that the gauntlet was a right-handed glove; a problem that was only compounded further when we Thanos put on the ‘correct’ left-handed glove in the post-credits scene of The Avengers: Age of Ultron. I want to turn to a clip of the interview he recently did on CNN.

After a noticeable lag, 20 or so map pins appear on the screen, similar to what you see if you search for a taqueria on Yelp or want to rent one of the electric scooters that have recently taken over downtown Austin. Wearing a KEEP AUSTIN BEAUTIFUL shirt and cargo shorts, he balances a laptop on his left palm while his right hand scrolls around a map of an Austin neighborhood. The 35th, which packs in Democrats, resembles an amoeba undergoing cell division, with twin bulges in Austin and San Antonio connected by a single tendril running along Highway 35. Three districts start just south of Austin and stretch all the way to the Mexican border, some 250 miles away. The city of Austin, a blue island in a sea of mostly red, is subdivided into no fewer than six districts. The party hasn’t won statewide office since 1994, and gerrymandered congressional districts are a realpolitik of entangled topology. Top-of-funnel marketing is a slick BMW ad in a glossy magazine; further down the funnel is the Google ad that pops up when you search "local BMW dealer." The political top of the funnel is the voter registration process, which makes you a consumer of a product called a political party and sends you down the funnel that ends in a voting booth and the "purchase" of a particular candidate.

Many voter registration efforts are presented as nonpartisan affairs, all about apple-pie democracy. As often happens with proposed tech solutions, though, there are some snags. The spirit of Silicon Valley, though, is in the room. But Smith, 29, isn’t trying to launch the next Airbnb for bathrooms or Uber for aircraft or any such Silicon Valley lark. Texas political realities, meet concerned Silicon Valley hackers. And it was 60 Minutes that claimed, based on anonymous sources, that hackers caused a 2007 Brazilian power outage that was actually triggered by sooty insulators. Miller, sitting down with the most sophisticated outlaw computer hackers in the world, chose to ask questions about some spoon-fed plot to brick our computers that the NSA supposedly thwarted. Once interest is sparked, you’re subtly guided down to the bottom of the funnel, where interest is massaged into intent and eventual sale. At the top of the funnel, marketers create brand awareness-the mystical process that turns your thoughts of bright, clean laundry to Tide and not any of the other indistinguishable detergents. The principal goal of a campaign is to guide a voter down the final slope of the funnel, but what Smith and others realized was that the entry into the political funnel in Texas was so narrow that it limited the consumers coming out on the other end.

It’s called MapTheVote, and it’s intended to track down citizens who haven’t registered to vote. CPS say that leeway should be given to those who have to confront in their job such as bouncers. Smith had the idea to create the app, but he didn’t have the technical skills. One organization called Tech for Campaigns created an army of people with technical skills to help progressive political candidates. In the meantime, we continue to waste huge amounts of fuel (with CO2 emission to boot) carrying people around in dangerous pursuits when, for lack of sensible regulation, many of the tasks I'm talking about could be much more safely, cheaply and efficiently performed with unmanned craft. Back in the ring, Cole performed a Superkick on Gargano for a nearfall. This storyline adds twists and turns to how we feel about the black-clad professor.
