That's not an argument that being filmed at a polling place is dangerous.

I'm not sure a good argument can be made. Being at a polling place doesn't say who you're voting for. I don't see the danger.

It is more difficult than a few years ago, especially if you don't want to get sued or get a threatening letter from your ISP.

I would only torrent with a VPN and a private tracker. It's certainly not difficult to learn, but absolutely requires some small amount of information to acquire.

The signal to noise ratio is so low these days. There's so much information out there but everyone wants to profit from you before you can get it. Even worse, the people with good information generally can't buy as big a megaphone as the people who profit from lying to you.

Honestly, I think humans have been more likely to believe an easy lie than a hard truth all along, but it's easier than ever these days.

I suspect it would be difficult to generate enough data to intentionally change a dataset. There are certainly little holes, like the glue pizza thing, but finding and exploiting them would be difficult and noticing you and blocking you as a data source would be easy.

I don't know who stole your history book, but you should probably go look for it.

A cab with no driver is just an incredibly expensive gender neutral toilet. I shudder to think what will be done in these if they ever exist.

Didn't he say full self drive was two years away at least 5 years ago?

With no information, the blurb is almost designed to be infuriating. But remember that they didn't just drop a wall there. We're talking about grading and building roads for heavy equipment to get there, probably storage, and who knows what else. My money says that was the grift in the first place: scam Trump voters into paying to turn a worthless piece of land into something usable.
