Trump will win the election and is more popular than Obama in 2008, AI system finds Rai said that his AI system shows that the candidate in each election who had leading engagement data ended up winning the election. "If Trump loses, it will defy the data trend for the first time in the last 12 years since Internet engagement began in full earnest," Rai wrote in a report sent to CNBC. Currently most national polls put Clinton and the Democrats ahead by a strong margin. Rai said his data shows that Clinton should not get complacent. But the entrepreneur admitted that there were limitations to the data in that sentiment around social media posts is difficult for the system to analyze. "If you look at the primaries, in the primaries, there were immense amounts of negative conversations that happen with regards to Trump. Using social media to predict outcomes of elections has become increasingly popular because of the amount of data available publicly. Rai said his system would be improved by more granular data.
Bulles de filtrage : il y a 58 millions d'électeurs pro-Trump et je n'en ai vu aucun - Tech L'explication du vote Trump viendra en temps et en heure. En attendant, nous pouvons essayer de comprendre pourquoi personne ou presque ne semble avoir anticipé ce résultat. Depuis ce matin, on peut lire dans la presse et sur les réseaux sociaux des dizaines — si ce n’est des milliers — de réactions de choc au sujet des résultats de la présidentielle américaine. Qu’elles viennent des États-Unis ou d’ailleurs dans le monde, toutes ou presque, posent une question fondamentale : comment cela a-t-il pu se produire ? Il y a bien entendu des dizaines de facteurs qui sont la trace de la complexité des États-Unis et des humains en général et que nous n’aurons pas la prétention de comprendre, encore moins d’expliquer. Mais si ces phénomènes existent et expliquent le vote, un autre phénomène, double lui aussi et typiquement numérique, explique le fait que le phénomène Trump soit passé complètement sous les radars. Nous sommes déjà sur Mars Ma planète n’est pas la planète Que peut-on faire ?
rohingya kid drawing The Myanmar military executed dozens of Rohingya villagers as they gathered to seek safety following the outbreak of violence in Rakhine state, according to witness reports collected by human rights experts. The testimonies describe soldiers beating, sexually assaulting, stabbing and shooting villagers, including children, who had gathered at a residential compound in Maung Nu village, two days after the eruption of violence in August. The reports, which have been collated by Human Rights Watch, follow a statement from the UN committees for women’s and children’s rights warning that the violence in Rakhine state “may amount to crimes against humanity”. Violence broke out on 25 August when Rohingya militants attacked government forces. The Myanmar government has repeatedly rejected allegations of systematic atrocities against the Rohingya, telling the UN security council last week that “there is no ethnic cleansing and no genocide in Myanmar”.
White and wealthy voters gave victory to Donald Trump, exit polls show | US news It was all supposed to hinge on the surging turnout of Latino voters for Hillary Clinton and whether or not the Democratic nominee could persuade enough African American voters to emulate them. In the end, according to exit polls, the election result seems to have been more about the clear backing of America’s white and wealthy voters for Donald Trump – including white graduates, and white female voters. Far from being purely a revolt by poorer whites left behind by globalisation, who did indeed turn out in greater numbers for the Republican candidate than in 2012, Trump’s victory also relied on the support of the middle-class, the better-educated and the well-off. Of the one in three Americans who earn less than $50,000 a year, a majority voted for Clinton. Clinton’s lead among non-white voters was substantial, but not enough to make up the difference. Among the more startling data to emerge from the poll:
Ces mots qui font accepter l'inacceptable, par François Brune (Le Monde diplomatique, mai 1995) Des lycéens français, à qui l’on demande le sens du mot idéologie, lui donnent spontanément pour synonyme idéal… Des candidats au baccalauréat, face à une analyse du sport comme « entreprise de dépolitisation », croient y lire un éloge au premier degré : vive le sport, qui fait oublier la politique, ses problèmes et ses magouilles ! Des étudiants n’arrivent pas à comprendre la différence entre la politique et le politique : eux-mêmes victimes du phénomène, ils ne sauraient voir en quoi les dérives de la politique ont fait perdre à leurs concitoyens la conscience du politique… Cette profonde dépolitisation, attestée encore par le nombre de jeunes non inscrits ou par la volatilité des intentions de vote à l’élection présidentielle, a de multiples causes (1). Le mot communication, par exemple, il y a une vingtaine d’années, avait encore le sens globalement positif d’échange d’informations entre interlocuteurs de même niveau. Idem pour l’usage mystifiant du mot dialogue.
china omnipotent seven Xi Jinping bestrides the seven-strong politburo, but there are six other people – all men – who will sit in power with him over the next five years. They are profiled below. Wang Huning, China’s Kissinger Already firmly within Xi’s inner circle, Wang Huning is the president’s top foreign policy adviser and frequently travels overseas with China’s leader. A former scholar known for his theories on ‘neo-authoritarianism’ , Wang, 62, was an adviser to Xi’s two predecessors and has reputedly been influential in shaping Xi’s political thoughts. Like Xi, a centraliser who has turned away from the kind of collective leadership introduced after Mao Zedong’s death, Wang advocates strong central leadership and is known for his hostility to high-level corruption. Li Zhanshu, The Whip A longtime friend of Xi and his current chief of staff, Li Zhanshu has become a powerful advocate for the president and his policies. Li Keqiang, The odd bedfellow Wang Yang, The Negotiator Han Zheng, The Technocrat
A madman has been given the keys to the surveillance state When the USA PATRIOT Act was signed into law on October 26, 2001, it erased many of the vital checks and balances that stood between the American people and their government. As Bush supporters cheered the unprecedented power that their people in Washington now held, the civil liberties world warned them: "Your president has just fashioned a weapon that will be wielded by all who come after him." report this ad When the Democrats took the White House in 2008, Americans on the right belatedly realized that a new administration that didn't rely on them for power could monitor all their movements, could track all their communications, could subject them to warrantless detention in "border zones" that covered most of the US population, could seize their property without charging them with any crime, and they began to worry in earnest. The seven years of GW Bush-after-9/11 gave us the foundations for a surveillance state that was one madman away from totalitarianism. It's not too late.
Les sirenes de la pub Les sirènes de la pub Elle est partout : dans la rue, dans les journaux, à la télé, au cinéma... Belle, inventive ou rébarbative, la pub n’a qu’un but : vendre. Et pour cela, elle ne manque pas d’arguments. (Par Sylvie Redon – Clauzard – Science et vie Junior – Novembre 2003) Vous êtes tombé dedans quand vous étiez petit ! Pour cela, tous les moyens sont bons. Accrocher notre attention est donc une part importante du travail des publicitaires. Mais voilà, envahir tous les espaces publicitaires coûte cher : le prix moyen d’un spot publicitaire de 30 secondes est de 9650 €… par passage ! Or les publicitaires sont de vrais champions quand il s’agit de jouer sur et avec les mots. La science, gage de sérieux En général, le vocabulaire publicitaire se limite aux 3000 mots de la langue française, histoire d’être compris de tous. Les célébrités qui apparaissent dans les publicités ne sont pas seulement là pour apporter une caution au discours. Il vous manque quelque chose !
children targets of war Children caught in war zones are increasingly being used as weapons of war – recruited to fight, forced to act as suicide bombers, and used as human shields – the United Nations children’s agency has warned. In a statement summarising 2017 as a brutal year for children caught in conflict, Unicef said parties to conflicts were blatantly disregarding international humanitarian law and children were routinely coming under attack. Rape, forced marriage, abduction and enslavement had become standard tactics in conflicts across Iraq, Syria and Yemen, as well as in Nigeria, South Sudan and Myanmar. Some children, abducted by extremist groups, are abused again by security forces when they are released. Others are indirectly harmed by fighting, through malnutrition and disease, as access to food, water and sanitation are denied or restricted. Some 27 million children in conflict zones have been forced out of school. Across 2017:
