A multinational company just decided to put their finger on the scale of a US election. I think that decision and the way it was made invites scrutiny.

What is this thing established as "fact" and who established it?

>In fact, only registered voters will receive ballots. How could you possibly know this, and how could twitter possibly know this? Surely that is the intent , but what do you make of stories like this one: https://losangeles

Trump doesn't have a crystal ball. "NO WAY (ZERO CHANCE) THE YANKEES ARE GOING TO WIN THE WORLD SERIES!" Am I making a statement of fact, or stating an opinion here? Should twitter fact check this statement with some ambiguo

It's frustrating that you think I'm giving Trump some credibility here. I'm not. He's an idiot, but that doesn't mean it is appropriate for twitter to behave this way.

Yes and I live in Arizona and mailed in my ballot for the 2016 election. The point is not that it is possible to do some mail in voting. The point is that it isn't ridiculous to think that mail in voting could be succeptible to f

Is this true? I don't think it is, and I think that has been borne out in several of our most recent presidential elections. In the last election alone, Clinton won NH by a mere 2700 votes, for instance.

I'm finding the response people are having to this mail in voting thing to be...puzzling. It's not a ridiculous thing to wonder about how susceptible mail in voting is to fraud, and it seems like some of us are putting blinders

IF facebook offered me the option of paying $5/mo to just get API access to the things my friends posted, and I could display them however I want (LIKE FOR INSTANCE IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER!) I would happily pay it.

The US was probably not the safest place to be with regards to covid, but it's ridiculous to imply that our leaders are all idiots who messed it all up. The data just does not support that no matter how you look at it. I was replyin

Because we are testing more. The testing positive rate is less than half of what it was a month ago. I said this elsewhere but this is something health officials have specifically warned against. Yes case counts are going up, but that i

Haha okay fair point. You do also have to “wait” in the office after you check into for a teeth cleaning, or “wait” after ordering your food at McDonald’s. That shouldn’t be used to indicate that these things are unavailable. Also YMMV. I

by blhack 6y ago
Yes, but that’s because Arizona is doing more testing. If you click the “lab testing” section on that site you’ll see that the testing positive rate is also down substantially (from 11% to 5%) from our peak over a month ago. It’s one of th

Which states are hitting records? AZ, one of the strongest reopenings as far as i know, has been on a downward trend on every relevant metric for about a month now.

by blhack 6y ago
Where are you that testing is still a problem? At least here in AZ there is no wait to get any sort of test, and actually doctors are now just including them in the standard blood panels they do.

At this point: I wish they’d just take a stronger stance and ban everything they don’t like. Just ban the political party they don’t like, ban anything that speaks out against China, just ban it all. We need to go back to the web, where an

I’ve been saying this for years. There are THOUSANDS of small businesses out there who are mostly being ignored. Many, many, many companies still see shared excel spreadsheets on a windows shared drive as a technical innovation.
