.@ChrisEvans wants to fix what is broken in Washington.

His new project, A Starting Point, aims to give all Americans the TL;DR on WTF is going on in politics. Turns out it’s a lot harder than punching fake-Nazis on the big screen. 1/

A Starting Point gives politicians space to speak directly to constituents, through videos on a variety of issues. The point, Evans says, is giving Americans cheap seats on the kinds of conversations that are happening on Capitol Hill 2/ wired.trib.al/Bkxeayr

Evans isn't naive. He knows A Starting Point probably won’t save America. But it could piece together some of what’s been broken. A fresh start. A starting point, if you will.

The United States' war on Chinese tech giant Huawei isn’t about Huawei. It’s about China. This is a clash over who will dominate the next generation of tech: 5G, advanced computer chips, and AI.

It could trigger the end of a single global internet 1/ wired.trib.al/UbOvAxf
By some accounts, 40% of the world’s population relies on Huawei equipment. It makes phones, tablets, laptops, and other gadgets, but it’s also a global leader in the race to 5G.

A race president Donald Trump says the US must win 2/ wired.trib.al/UbOvAxf
Yet by almost any measure, the US seems set for defeat. The Trump administration has made efforts to encourage 5G growth and innovation, but they appear to be late and underwhelming. China surely will end up with more 5G users than any other country 3/ wired.trib.al/UbOvAxf

After rising to YouTube fame with her DIY gizmos, the "Queen of Shitty Robots" @SimoneGiertz renounced her crown. Here’s why, in her own words, she decided to confront perfectionism and start anew—while doctors try to destroy the tumor in her head 1/ wired.trib.al/2TxkLik
Why she’s saying sayonara to shitty robots:

“One of the things that I’ve been trying to figure out is: Was building shitty robots in some way a method for me to minimize myself, to make myself smaller?" 2/ wired.trib.al/2TxkLik
On accepting her flaws and embracing grand designs like Truckla, the Tesla Model 3 she turned into a pickup:

“There are so many things that are amazing that are not perfect. And there are so many things that are perfect that are fucking boring.” 3/ wired.trib.al/2TxkLik

NEW: This Is What The EU Thinks Of Boris Johnson’s Brexit Proposals buzzfeed.com/albertonardell…
EU27 diplomats were briefed yesterday on the UK's Brexit proposals, and on the latest state of talks following a meeting between Barclay and Barnier - these are the main points:
The SPS document is "not detailed." It is a one-pager with an annex listing two sets of legislation, of EU rules that would apply to Northern Ireland after Brexit and a second list outlines EU legislation that wouldn’t apply, requiring checks to take place away from the border

All right, time to get back into the thick of things! Tonight, we dive into Risa's epilogue with her fan disc! It's gonna take a little while to get going, so in the meantime, if you missed my second excursion into Amagami Tetris, you can catch that here:
...So it turns out unlocking Risa's *actual* fan disc story requires clearing all of the other fan disc chapters for the first five discs (ie: everyone else's stories, plus a bonus chapter), so this is gonna take a little more time to get sorted out than I thought.
I only have Miya's and the bonus chapter left to do, so it won't take too long, but suffice it to say, there aren't going to be any updates this morning, unfortunately. I'll decide later if this other content is worth covering, but yeah. Sorry about that! More Risa soon!

New research shows that the fear of smart phones and social media was built on a castle made of sand. Turns out almost all of previous research never bothered to validate their assessments of smart phone use - and that appears to have been a HUGE mistake. (.....)
....
Almost all research examining the harmful effects of social media (SM) have used self-reports of SM. But, new research has found, such self-reports are hardly related to actual SM use. In fact, the average correlation between self and actual is about .20 .....
....What does a correlation of .20 mean. No researcher would ever agree that a correlation of .20 is ok if two assessments are supposed to be measuring the same thing. Another way to think of it is that self-report and actual SM use share only 4% of their variance.....

October 27, 2016: 1 day before the October Surprise Bloomberg DROPS maj story RE:Trump data ops. Team Trump invited in media to share their secret sauce & unveil "Project Alamo." Never made sense to me

So I set out to Debunk "Inside the Trump Bunker"

URL Project Pt 2 [THREAD]
Those of you who know me know I've been working on this for a while. By breaking down Trump/Pence tracking links, I reverse-engineered Trump's marketing prog in search of the truth. What was Project Alamo?

I believe the media has gotten the Trump data narrative wrong.

The Trump/Pence Facebook dark posts were not used for voter suppression. I've searched far & wide. Journos have asked me for examples of their 2016 FB suppression ads--they don't exist.
