Andrew Demeter is a young American political activist, amateur filmmaker, entrepreneur, journalist, and author. His documentary ‘We The People, Genetically-Modified?’ won first prize in C-SPAN’s 2014 Student Cam competition. To collect the award, he visited the United States Capitol in Washington D.C. where he met and questioned former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, on matters concerning the National Security Agency’s metadata collection. He recorded the short confrontation with his mobile phone, and the video subsequently went viral online. American radio host and documentary filmmaker Alex Jones has glorified Demeter as “a successful, young journalist…just by asking real questions!”.

I am in the field of IT from 20 years and found nothing just a circle of numbers either its money/technological changes or new developments rotating people life like a wheel. Its very tragic that these technological changes specifically in IT left people stranded.

Hello,
That is the first time I have seen Mr. McAfee wear a tie in years. Hard to tell from the quality of the video, but it appears to be navy blue with silver dots. Is that correct? Very sharp looking.

You can’t beat folks who do or have written code. Data mechanics, logic will carry you through every time and we need more consumers to listen to us and as Jaron Lanier says “it’s not some big supernatural figure out there” it’s math and code. The media makes it so much worse in the fact that articles show up talking about algorithm fairies.
Privacy is a big deal and the public has been code hosed with proprietary code compiled to where nobody else gets to see it and they say “trust me” and my analytics, bull. Wall Street has been doing this for years and why I made up the Killer Algorithms page with videos from people smarter than me that explain to the layman.

We are all aware of the Anthem data breach and look out for sites like this to sell data.

Correct we do need privacy and good points made here and it comes back around to context. We need to license and index all data sellers, so we know what companies are collecting data about us. Please join me on my 3 year
campaign. You are correct with knowing things about people you don’t need to know. I had to do surveillance on an employee a few years ago and you
know what, you never look at that person the same again. Believe me, unless you have really good reason to snoop, don’t do it. I had to due to my
contracted job and again there was a reason for this, but let me tell you I
would hope that I never again have to to go that route.
Donate if you can, and listen to folks who know code, it’s where your answers lie, and you may not like it but consumers have been code hosed, and self included here, for years.
