  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I’m serious in saying that if this is faked, or the context makes her sound smart, I’ll have staff close the thread with an apology.
Until then, it remains tainted as personal attack on the Vice President due to video manipulation and no context.

Of course it was manipulated. There was no actual cloud over her head, but your video shows one. The video was manipulated.

All one needs to know is understanding the words.

Every single video you watch is "manipulated", or more accurately, "edited". At a bare minimum, every video has 2 cuts; the start and end. That, in and of itself, means that EVERY video you see is"manipulated" to show you a specific point in time that the editor wants you to see.

Let's address the content we could see in the clip, which is all you can ever do with any video clip. Harris said in the video that your files are "no longer in a physical place" when they are in the cloud, and they're just floating "above us". Anyone who understands cloud storage knows that's complete nonsense, regardless of whether someone edited in a happy cloud above her head in the video.

Cloud storage simply means that you've chosen to trust someone else to host your files on their servers. They're still on a "physical place". Depending what cloud storage provider you choose, they're sitting on a server managed by Microsoft, or Apple, or some other storage provider.

No additional context changes what Harris said. It's just wrong. Files aren't floating above your head.

In November, an NBC poll had her at the worst VP in history.
That's not true.

The poll showed that 49% of those polled had a negative view of Vice President Harris, while 32% had a positive view, giving her a net rating of -17, which was the lowest in the polls history, which only goes back to when Al Gore was vice president.

NBC News says Harris' net-negative rating of -17 is the lowest for a vice president in the history of its poll.

In Oct. 2019, 34% had a positive view of then-Vice President Mike Pence, while 38% had a negative view, for a rating of -4, per NBC News.

In Dec. 2010, then-Vice President Biden's rating was +1, with 34% having a positive view and 33% having a negative view.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney's rating was +23 in May 2003, with 47% of registered voters having a positive view of him, compared to 24% having a negative.

In March of 1995, former Vice President Al Gore's rating was +15, with 42% having a positive view and 27% having a negative one.

That is where you are wrong.

Files aren't floating above your head.
So when I receive an Excel spreadsheet on my phone and open it up to reveal the file, how did it get there without my phone being physically attached to a computer housing the file?

Um, OK.

WiFi. And this can happen with or without "the cloud".

When you open an Excel spreadsheet on your phone that you open from your OneDrive, it comes from the physical server that Microsoft hosts it on. It's delivered to you through a series of hops over various connection points before it reaches either your local cellular tower or your home router and is then delivered to you via a wireless connection. But your file doesn't just float above your head. It resides on a physical server, or a "physical place" if you prefer.

Then find the original and prove me wrong.
Here we go. Found through an article on WorldNetDaily of all places.


She's not trying to describe how cloud storage works. She's talking about how privacy laws haven't kept up with technology; and, unsurprisingly, her point is completely lucid. Her description of how cloud tech works isn't entirely accurate, but it's sufficient to get across the point that she's making about privacy laws.

WOW! She was talking about laws which need to be reexamined and defined to accommodate the new technology, and not about the cloud?

Kamala explaining the cloud. I’m glad she has a grasp on this technology. We need this kind of leadership.
If Trump wants to win, he will answer questions succinctly and allow Kamala to talk all she wants... I'm not holding my breath thinking that'll happen.

Isn’t it amazing how context sheds new light on things?

Very well. So she was just really bad, and now she’s really good.

While I still think she’s clueless about cloud storage (which is scary considering the context and what she’s hoping to accomplish), it does appear that the context shows things in a different light.

I’ll have the thread closed.

Being in IT, most people are ignorant of computers, computing and data.

The poll doesn't show how good or bad of a vice president she is, it's showing people's favorable or unfavorable opinion of her.
