@matigo I was pleasantly surprised by my last performance review, at least bonus wise. If it can happen to me, it can happen to you.

@matigo for those selling the very things that make us sick and want more…absolutely.
@matigo reminds me of when I see Mt. Rainier around these parts, except Mt. Fuji is definitely bigger.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics: Pro-Junk Food, Anti-Free Speech [therussells.crossfit.com]
The most shocking thing from this article isn't the corrupt food industry, it's the fact it's illegal to provide advice on diet if you're not a registered dietician in 21 states. That's some pretty sick corruption.
@konrad Some have speculated that the CIA is behind Facebook. Wouldn't surprise me for just that reason. ?

@joeo10 I suspect any such regulations will be just as effective as the existing copyright laws are at keeping people from propagating and consuming unauthorized copies of content.

@konrad You know it's probably bullshit when Procter and Gamble is cutting $200 million from their digital ad spending [adweek.com]. All that data and Facebook and Twitter can't figure out how to make effective use of it.
Makes me question just how effectively Trump and Obama were actually able to make use of all that data.
// @matigo
@JeremyCherfas In Obama's case, they got the data through users who used the Obama Facebook app. Back in 2012, the Facebook API was pretty much an open book, coughing up whatever data you asked for. Obama's campaign also used the data it has collected right up to Election Day.
In Trump's case, they got the data indirectly through Cambridge Analytica, which had been collecting the data for various purposes. Trump's campaign used some of the data prior to the General Election campaign, but not during.
From what I can tell, Obama made extensive use of more data, and was called brilliant. Trump, meanwhile, is demonized for more limited use of less data.

@JeremyCherfas now to respond to the correct post… :P
Certainly on the surface, the way Obama and Trump used the data looks similar. The fact no one is pointing this out is telling.
// @matigo
@JeremyCherfas oh, you're right. Must have hit "reply" on the wrong post. :P
