Excellent. I look forward to seeing Peter's expertise help Trump continue the wonderful progress we have made in improving tech in government under the Obama administration.

1400 employees huh. Well statistically speaking, he just insulted more than half of them. I'm glad I don't work at grubhub, where obviously international politics are more important than a cohesive team atmosphere. Here's an

Agreed, the unbiased statement could definitely use some more words to show it's an opinion that Clinton COULD be responsible for the result, but it's not black and white. It's just frustrating that people don't recogniz

This post wasn't meant to be a thorough debunking of Kim and snopes. I actually think snopes does a mostly good job of producing accurate information. However, it does show in some cases, such as the Hillary Libya "We didn't

Thanks for clarifying that! I don't have any skin in this game either, and I agree it might be helpful to have an auto-bias feature, but it needs to be completely transparent and open so we can fact-check the fact-check checkers oursel

Have you done any research at all on snopes? I just spent 5 minutes on google and found that one of snope's main "fact-checkers" is Kim Lacapria. She used to write for a blog called "The Inquisitor", a site known fo

Unfortunately, sites like snopes and politifact also succumb to the same type of bias as the right-wing sites. See this article where politifact was handed propaganda material from the Clinton foundation and parroted it without doing any ac

It's not just sponsorship of media companies, it's outright ownership. Straight from Saudi Arabia's mouth, a billionaire prince owns a significant portion of AOL Time Warner: http://www.kingdom.com.sa/investme

Saudi Arabia was (until massive backlash and attention) on the Human Rights board of the UN. You know, the country that stones women and sponsors terrorism. In a totally unrelated series of events, they have also donated millions upon milli

So democracy is working as intended, the people decided. Just because you don't agree with the results of democracy doesn't invalidate it.

What's unprecedented is a presidential candidate under multiple active FBI investigations for various crimes including, but not limited to, money laundering, corruption, and theft in the case of Haiti. Hillary decided to break the law.

If you read into why the recent case against Hillary was reopened, one big reason was because field agents were resigning and there was practically a mutiny inside the FBI. I think it's unfair to say "the FBI" is corrupt, bec

The difference is, I can choose to buy a startup's product, or I can not and watch them go bust with someone else's money. This is the government, they take your money by force and you are forced to "purchase" the "

Governments can never provide value like this, government is not a business! Sometimes this trade off is worthwhile. I'd like to have my housefire put out in a timely fashion. I will sacrifice some of my income for this. However, the i

Someone gets it. Funny how people who are so "moral", actually end up being incredibly immoral and biased. Here's a question: if there's such a demand for solutions that solve a problem that the "majority" can&

Poor grammar, rambling, and pointless complaining. If you don't like something, don't do it. If you want to be fat, go be fat. If you want to be buff, go be buff. Amazing that this person has a job posting this nonsense. Probably
