It’s the Algorithm, Stupid 0

I think the notion of an overt Google-Clinton conspiracy theory is a bit over the top, but it is true that search engines filter the results of your searches according to their conclusions about what you would like based on your search history. Accordingly, I think this is worth a listen for the larger message.

Afterthought:

I have noticed that, as the Democratic Convention gets closer and Sanders is not gaining (despite the results of this week’s primaries–look at the numbers), some Sanders fans are joining the hysterical party. I say this as someone who would quite happily support Sanders, were he to be the nominee.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
