Brianna Wu / John Walker Flynt - "Biggest Victim of Gamergate," Failed Game Developer, Failed Congressional Candidate

Well it isn't a Barbie doll with a visible bulge around the crotch area but yeah I guess they could have done better.

Way to go, you could have given this answer if you had given a single fuck and showed up at the candidate debate. Goddamn idiot.

There is an amazing CRM (or in this case voter management) software called the "VAN" (voter activation network). You can license parts of it (like say for her district) and then it's really easy to import your own lists and then print call/walk sheets for targeting. It's both a front and back end so you can have your canvassers easily entering data and printing sheets and you can have your database folks importing lists, de-duping and all that.

I doubt she even knows it exists. I bet 90% of her lists are fucking color coded excel sheets. she probably isn't even using pivot tables.
The campaign actually subscribed to NGP VAN for the first couple quarters of its existence, and then let the subscription lapse before doing anything at all with it.
 
yea, daemons are usually critical system services. have no fucking idea what she was going for with that one.

He was trying to sound like he knows what he's talking about when he doesn't know jack shit, as always. Try running Unix at all without init (or systemd).

Other daemons don't "chew up resources" at all, though, but for instance, just listen on a port and only activate when whatever service they provide is needed, like fingerd.
 
Voehl is coming for you, Wu. Too bad you’re both going to lose.

Brianna Wu, standing up for women in politics by completely ignoring them. What a role model.

Answering the questions of some local no-name fishes is far less important to John than attempting to prove his godzilla of tech credentials on twitter (yet again). If someone were interested in bringing the Wu campaign down a peg or two, pointing out how John missed this important opportunity to meet with local politically active women and answer their questions would be a good way to go about it. For someone whose entire reason for running for office is apparently to ensure more women are involved in politics, he's doing a good job of sticking two fingers up to the females that are supposedly going to vote for him.
 
$2000 on gear for riding a motorcycle like twice a year a few miles on public roads... figures.

That's a Shoei helmet, looks like a Parameter. Costs about $550-$600 with those graphics. It's nice, but a perfectly good helmet can be had for $200. Now, someone who rides a lot or tracks a bike might find a lot of use in the marginal returns for a $600 helmet (slight weight savings, maybe lessened air noise?). But we know that Wu barely rides, if at all. I wonder if they got the bike registered since the last field agent went by and saw it had no plate.

The same is likely true of the rest of Wu's gear. You can spend $1400 on a jacket, pants, gloves and riding boots... but you don't have to, unless you want to have a bunch of each or have the expensive brand names for everything. A couple hundred for a jacket is easily done, same for pants and less for boots and gloves. Having that level of armor or gear is more typical of the track or perhaps someone that rides all the time, not someone that can measure riding time in how long it takes to snap a selfie.

Like with the cars, Wu sure seems to spend the most possible to get the least returns. He really does get a thrill out of spending Frank's money, doesn't he?
I get a laugh out of just how out of touch and behind the times he is with this stuff. No one really gives a shit about sportbikes and playing street Rossi anymore, and probably haven't for the last 5 years at least. The new midlife crisis coping mechanism is larping as a long distance cross country rider, with hi-viz endurance riding gear head to toe and a gigantic BWM or KTM adventure bike kitted out with every available option for the treacherous journey down to the neighborhood Starbucks. I can't even remember the last time I saw someone who looked like they were dressed for the track, but I see multiple examples of these monstrosities pretty much everyday.

It paints a picture of how he thinks: if he can't see what's being done there's probably nothing being done. That's the impression I got from Warren's stories, Wu seemed to be up his ass all the time for doing work out of sight, out of mind.

The perfect campaign employee for Wu would be someone that holds a phone in each hand, has a bluetooth headset and scurries across the Wu's living room floor constantly saying "I'm so stressed, I'm so busy" while trying to juggle talking in all the phones at the same time.

That's the kind of thing Wu wants to see, the phones could be squeaky dog toys it doesn't matter much, it's all about the spectacular front end where the appearance of things is more important than the things themselves.

No one listens to this stupid shit, John. It sucks.

It's almost like people, left to their own devices, will tend to gravitate towards different things and create patterns. Turns out that women tend to like certain topics more than others. Perhaps we shouldn't force people to do things they may not actually want to do, or try guilt them into following paths that will not bring them happiness in the name of an ideology.

Is there really a lot of "space" to be given in a cage in a basement, John?

Poor Splat. Out of the frying pan and into the furnace :(

Thank you for the monthly reminder that you jack off to Terminator 3 every time you watch it.

Terminator 3 has a higher vagina to dick ratio and is therefore the superior film. Also, Skynet winning is bold? They just needed Skynet to win so they could keep making movies, but go ahead, Brianna, keep reminding us that you've got shit taste. Fuck's sake, even Salvation was better than 3.
 
fingerd was dumped in mid-90s as it was considered an a treat to users, same with fingering Wu.

The daemon itself maybe, still exists some places though.

Skynet doesn't even win though. Judgement jay seems to always happen no matter what and the terminator they sent failed to kill John and stop him leading the humans to victory. The only thing Skynet did is succeed at killing random people that would serve as John's officers after judgement day. I know the deciding factor for Brianna is lady terminator and nothing else but I don't see why when 2 has bad ass Sarah Connor in it.

Do you think Brianna was actually able to sit through the entire movie (Terminator 3), or do you think she just read some cliffnotes buzzfeed tvtropes "10 reasons why Terminator 3 was more 'woke' than Terminator 2" ? Maybe she saw it before peggle/twitter came out...

Even if she did sit through the whole movie... to expect her to understand it is a :optimistic: stretch. After all, it doesn't relate to Brianna, and for some reason Rocket FM was not mentioned even once, despite being THE MOST important tech podcast ever and has so many obvious lead-ins to skynet lore. That's unthinkable! How are you supposed to suspend disbelief with such glaring inaccuracies?
