REASON
— How Trustworthy Does Facebook Think You Are? Should we be concerned about a new system to keep track of real vs. fake news? – Andrea O’Sullivan (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, all news and commentary is fake except for the news and commentary that they put out or bless. They focus on a) stopping me from putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out and b) stopping everyone from reading the emails. Should I publish a list of my critics/opponents? Should I sue them?)
https://reason.com/archives/2018/08/28/how-trustworthy-does-facebook-think-you
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One new tool in Facebook’s bag of anti-“misinformation” tricks definitely ticks the “creep box”: Last week, the Washington Post reported that Facebook has been planning to assign a “trustworthiness score” for users on their platform for around a year. Users who are believed to more accurately flag news stories as valid or not will be given a higher score, while users suspected of flagging stories out of revenge or distaste—and thereby throwing off the algorithm—will be given a goose egg. The scale ranges from 0 to 1, and the system is now reportedly coming online. The new system is framed as a necessary augmentation of Facebook’s previous forays into third party-guided media ranking. In addition to partnering with self-deputized “fact-checkers” like PolitiFact and Snopes.com, Facebook created a button for average users to report when a story was “fake news.” The idea was that human feedback, provided by both “experts” and the wisdom of the crowds, would supplement the brittle fallibility of algorithms, leading to a better overall curation of what is being shared on Facebook.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: On the 50th anniversary of the protests, organizers of the August 25 event say the issues of injustice still remain. “Today, when we have America’s longest war in Afghanistan and Iraq, those lessons are urgently needed as well,” said Andy Thayer, part of the Chicago Committee Against War and Racism. Present-day attendees drew comparisons between the current political climate and that of 1968, hoping to re-capture the energy of the past to bring about change. “If you don’t have a screaming opposition to scream at that, it will take over,” said Katy Nielsen, a present-day protestor. “Here we are 50 years later and not only is it continuing, it’s worse now in a lot of ways.”)

— Companies Need To Know The Dollar Cost Of Employee Turnover – Bill Conerly (DIERSEN: I should write a book about the millions of taxpayer dollars that the Democrats who run the federal government wasted to get rid of me. When the Democrats who ran the Post Office succeeded in forcing me to resign in 1969 when I was 20 years old, they wasted all the training that the Post Office had invested in me. When the Democrats who run IRS refused to promote me beyond GS-12, they a) wasted all the training that IRS had invested in me and b) wasted what I had learned earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul 1976-1980, and passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. When the Democrats who ran GAO refused to assign me to audits of IRS 1980-1985, and then after 1988, they wasted what I had learned working for IRS for almost 9 years. When the Democrats who ran GAO refused to promote me beyond GS-13 and forced me to retire in 1997, they a) wasted all the training that GAO had invested in me and b) wasted what I had learned earning a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and earning a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.)
