Obama breaking Campaign finance law(s)


Recommended Posts

Okay okay it was me. I deleted the posts.

Okay, no I didn't. But I hope it was a mistake because even though Neowin is a dictatorship, I hope free speech has SOME value here. Even if the speech is viewed as unpopular.

You know who did it--

Obama,

since he said "I AM THE PRESIDENT AND THE BUCK STOPS HERE!"

(I know he didn't delete the post)

I love free speech though it would be nice to debate things like the pro's and con's of Privatizing FEMA without someone saying - NO NO NO because Romney suggested it. Or flaming at me instead of actually talking about the topic

there are some Pro's and Con's to it

Pro-

There will be accountability to the Better Business Bureau

Companies will go out seeking people to help instead of waiting on the GOV and State approval.

If they don't do a good job they don't get paid instead of what happened to Katrina where nothing happened and they still got paid for doing nothing.

There will be more than just one company looking to help people which means better service...

BUT MOST OF ALL

JOBS

plus Colleges training people for this work.

Con's

that it will no longer be under the control of the Government Agency instead - only to pay for quality services rendered

No one will get paid to sit on their bottoms while people suffer.

But you know most people won't listen to that instead shut it down because of where the idea came from instead of actually debating it.

Hahahaha!! It's Obamas fault.

But on topic, I agree with you. People only flame instead of talking about the actual problem and it's a real issue. It sucks because it means we will never get things done. I love to debate, I honestly do, and I can admit when I am wrong, but sometimes I don't even bother because the conversation will get derailed anyway.

Perhaps those who had their posts deleted can repost them?

For the sake of Neowin's neutrality, I do hope that mods are not deleting posts that challenge their political idelology.

LOL. You must be new to Neowin.

I agree. I don't mind debating but I refuse to respond to people who seem to be intent on starting a flame war.

    • Google pitches Spanner as one database for all AI agents with these new featues by Karthik Mudaliar Google Cloud is introducing new features within Spanner, its distributed database, as a place where enterprises should keep their data, using which AI agents could make smarter and better decisions. In a detailed blog post, Google highlighted quite a few features coming to Spanner, including relational data, graph relationships, vector search, key-value access, full-text search, and operational analytics together in one database architecture. Google says that today's systems aren't well-made for AI agents. There could be data that is present in one system, search indexes in another, embeddings in a vector database, and relationship data in a graph database. This fragmentation isn't great for AI agents to do their jobs because they don't have access to all of this data in one place. This is where Google is positioning Spanner as a solution. Spanner is already a globally distributed relational database with strong consistency, and Google wants its customers to see it as a broader data layer for AI applications. The company introduced something called Spanner Graph, along with integrated vector search, full-text search, a Cassandra-compatible key-value endpoint, and a columnar engine for analytical queries on operational data. Google also added that its ScaNN-powered vector search can support indexes with more than 10 billion vectors, while the columnar engine can make some analytical scans up to 200 times faster. All of this isn't just exclusive to the Google Cloud Platform, and there's support for multi-cloud as well. This comes via Spanner Omni, which Google says is a downloadable, containerized version of Spanner that can run on Kubernetes and in environments outside Google Cloud, including Microsoft Azure and AWS, and even on-premises infrastructure as well as edge deployments. Google says that customers who are interested in the full-featured edition should contact the company, and there's no word on commercial availability or separate pricing. Those interested can read the full blog by Google Cloud, which details these features individually.

    • They have lots of info on me, I have a facebook account and have done so for years, it was the thing to have then. My phone number is not on it. I don't have the Facebook app on my phone these days, just the messenger part, and only for a couple of people to contact me, most will text me via SMS or phone. I agree, Meta, like others, even without an account will know something about me. Just have to try and keep some things private Also, never saw the need for Whatsapp, people used to ask for me to join it, but as I said to them, I have SMS and a phone, use that, or email
