They do. And a company called Cambridge Analytica helped the Trump campaign exploit these clusters. http://www.spectator.co.uk/2016/12/the-british-data-cruncher...

Even fewer if you have a gerrymandered election system. Steve Bannon, now senior advisor to Trump, is on the board of Cambridge Analytica, a company that built (and presumably enabled the exploitation of) psychological profiles to maximize

Yeah, you're absolutely right; the DEA even sets import quotas. There are drugs where this is true, but I'm apparently remembering the wrong one.

It looks like an issue with wording to me, i.e. they may have meant "can in theory be, but usually isn't compared to the high cost compared to lab synthesis", but oversimplified it.

I'm really sad that comment ended up being flagged; it illustrated our current slide toward mindless partisanship and collective punishment perfectly.

More specifically: point us to a lie of the kind of severity that http://usainfonews.com and http://usapoliticszone.com peddle. Do a WHOIS on those sites or visit them in a sandbox; they're Macedonian in origin,

This doesn't stand up to evidence. A large portion of the fake news in closed political Facebook groups is actually fake – it's Macedonian in origin, tends to use throwaway domains like http://usainfonews.com and http

Here is a seven-hour time lapse from the same vantage point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdantUf5tXg . IMO this is irrefutable evidence of a smaller crowd – which is a non issue... unless the President of the United Stat

Reuters went on record with an (apparently) EXIF-derived timestamp of 12:01:18 EST, and PBS has a seven-hour time lapse substantiating the image. It is not fake. Here is the time lapse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdantU

They were correcting a factually inaccurate statement made by the President of the United States, using evidence they were in possession of. One must hold truth above abstract concepts like "favor" and "taste".

Comparing objective reality between two points in time is not partisan. It is factual. It is the truth. If the crowd had been larger than previous years, would you still object?

How in the world is a picture of actual reality a "political statement"? How on Earth can an unedited photo of something that really happened be construed in this way?

Who is "the left"? Be specific.

What evidence is there of this? From this vantage point, it looks like he was elected despite his Twitter falsehoods (read: lies) and stream-of-(un)consciousness, not because of it. He lost the popular vote by three million votes. He is h

Then you agree that Donald Trump is corrupt?

Complete inelasticity of demand and lack of the ability for consumers to inform themselves (read: I will never understand the finer points of organ transplantation or be able to assess value for money) are two very factual ECON101 reasons.

This isn't House, M.D. The doctor's job is to assist to a great degree in fixing the problem , not just figuring out what the problem was.

No, the results are that the United States is deep shit, having just elected a serial liar and sexual offender with a little nudge from Russia and Comey. The damage Trump can do is potentially infinite. It's incalculable. If you'

You have a duty to oppose blatant electoral manipulation, blatant DNC corruption, the failure of the DNC to present any kind of credible economic plan, and the insane obstructionism of the RNC that has caused our institutions to rot. You ne

This scheme is vulnerable to the same sort of gerrymandering game we play with districts. It provides no definition or guideline on the size or shape of a (presumably atomic) regulation. It's a meaningless bullet point.

He has demonstrated something dangerous. It is dangerous to dispense bigotry from the highest office in the land. It has consequences. It gets people hurt and killed. The consequences are foreseeable.

God, it's 2016 and we're discussing whether we should dispense fates worse than death in brazen and barbaric acts of cruelty, to other human beings. What has happened to my country?

Companies that classify people as contractors unnecessarily – when they control every aspect of the delivery and experience as if they were using real W-2 employees – demean people. They really do. It's like being called horrible names

We need to have a civilized, polite, reasonable, factual discussion about the future of our country, one that both recognizes the damage caused by social bigotry and recognizes the damage caused by economic insecurity and the offshoring o

Please do not downvote. Come and discuss. Drive-by comments and rapid-fire memes in response to Macedonian blogspam on Facebook is what got America into this mess.

Thank you. It's time Americans took their duty to their country seriously. This is dangerous.

Y Combinator and Peter Thiel have a moral duty to denounce Trumpism before it's too late.
