I worked for the Obama administration on government transparency and data initiatives. A principle engineer for the “we the people” api. I’m currently working on a platform to provide analytics and insight to grassroots campaigns. Software I have worked on has been used in hundreds of political campaigns. You’ve seen my work.
So you think I do all of this for… internet cred? It’s sure not for the money. You’re gonna be this reductive and ridiculous, but I’m self righteous and need to grow up? Starting arguments? You came to me, man.
You’re upset because why? Because I responded to your Internet armchair activism slogan with a real response? Isn’t that what you wanted? You told me to do something about it. I’m doing something about it. I really don’t know what you’re bent about.
You’re not only not in a lane, I’m not sure you know where the road is at this point. Get it together, man.

If you’ve already got the infrastructure in place for other projects, it can drop costs dramatically. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone there was already doing a lot of web hosting and just threw this in their stack. There are also a number of housing companies that will cut great deals for non profits if they’re at up right.
I like the idea of making cops carry insurance. Too many incidents and their premiums go up or they get dropped. This also pushes the costs off of the taxpayers when these incidents happen.
I’m sure there are issues with this approach though
if the courts can’t handle this guy they have no business ruining people’s lives for things that don’t compare to anything trump has done.
I’ve been looking for the right words to say this, so thanks.
The justice system has failed if it’s able systematically arrest people in parts of new York, Baltimore, and Chicago, but can’t do anything to this clown for a literal attempt to overthrow the government and constitution.

You might be interested in data.gov. The Obama admin kicked of the Government Open Data Initiative to provide transparency in government. Agencies have been given a means to publish their data, which US taxes pay for. You’d be surprised what’s in there. It’s not an algorithm, but you could certainly build one from that if you wanted to.
I was thinking this too. Also, not EVERYTHING needs to have a love story jammed into it. There are so many situations that you can tell they shoehorned one in in order to pull a specific demo and it’s totally not necessary for the story
