Facebook often asks me if I want to translate posts that are already in English. I'm not surprised that "mistakes may happen".

Interesting from the perspective of a gedanken experiment, but there are obviously much more efficient, less expensive ways to transmit data.

>Cuban refugees banned permanently -- okie dokie.
That's not what Obama did [1].

It's not ironic because that didn't happen. I'm sure the strike could have been called off very quickly if that happened.

Uber could have participated by changing the surge pricing to 20X, 100X or some similarly high number. That's not to say that they should have.
A lot of the anger at Uber is also due to their CEO being an economic advisor to Trump.
Meanwhile, Lyft played this perfectly. Stayed out of the fray and then donated $1MM to the ACLU.

>Trump received almost the exact same number of popular votes as Romney in '12, and McCain in '08. The difference is that 10 million Obama voters stayed home for Hillary:

Your data is from very soon after the election. Once all the votes were counted, Clinton had the same vote total as Obama '12 [1]. Perhaps an argument can be made that due to population growth she'd need 1% more (or some number) to truly match Obama '12.
That said, I agree with your general message about turnout.

>The Fourth Estate has fallen into disrepair due to their close adherence to progressive extremist ideology and their objectivity is rightly attacked.
[citation needed].
The MSM needs some repair, but I'd say that repair should be moving away from the "both sides do it" and "two sides to every argument" mentality and delivering the truth. On issues like climate change, equal weight does not need to be given to the "it's a hoax" crowd.

I was hoping that the first part would have an explainer to justify the mention of the GF. Something like, "My girlfriend is not a programmer and has never taken computer science classes. The following drawing are what I used to explain ML to her."
