Interviewed for PM there a while back. Slow process. Neither interviewer adapted questions to the candidate, asked trivial stuff, didn't scale up difficulty. Static, reading script, little followup. Second interviewer didn't read

On second thought, I wonder if it's because of instinctive sympathy for fellow elites. Else maybe it's just the diplomatic pressure from those elites.

This is some major bullshit. Obama is ready to ban spying on allied leaders, but not on Americans: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/29/world/europe/obama-may-ban...

Bimodal distribution :) Polarizing but plenty of comments. This issue sits at the intersection of big data and politics. It's fundamentally cheap storage and networking which enables this surveillance.

Phone call works better than email and takes just a minute. "I'm registered to vote in California, and I'm calling because I strongly oppose mass spying on Americans." I'll call tomorrow: (415) 393-0707 http:/

Apparently the only way to get rid of a US senator is if the Senate expels her. That hasn't succeeded since 1862, but 3 disgraced senators since '82 resigned in advance of being expelled. Basically only for major scandals: http:&

Most of that margin is because she's an incumbent in a state that votes Dem. She hasn't made enough waves for people to pay attention to her positions beyond rural voters who dislike her assault weapons ban. But techies should be
