This is an awesome initiative. Is anybody else thinking of the Watchdogs Blume though? ^^ https://watchdogs.fandom.com/wiki/Blume_Corporation

Slack, mattermost

I'm building a directory at http://clacks.jonathanmh.com btw

Hi Jaruzel, the crawler is live :D you can see in the bottom which page it is crawling right now.

It's basically scraping all links on every page it hits and tests the headers if they are containing the clacks value.

I added the form so people can submit pages to speed up the development of the list, even though I believe eventually the crawler would get to their pages :D

Cool! What software are you using for the crawler?

I built a not very advanced one with node.js and mongodb :)

Mainly in use in the crawler: * request * cheerio

I have (from afar) also witnessed the Bush presidency and regarding tone of voice and speeches, Obama was the far better diplomat and seemed very concerned with humanitarian causes.

> I think Washington has changed Obama more than Obama changed Washington. He's spent seven years in the craziest bubble in America surrounded by people being paid millions to distort his worldview one way or another.

I completely agree, I bet it's not a great job most of the time and a really different and isolated world.

Thank you! I really should have put a lot more into this, because I have a ton of examples. Really need to do a follow up

I, for example, am not a US citizen ;)

I honestly didn't expect this to be seen. /me is humbled and reading comments

alright, will write a follow up

There's a lot of this online. Check out Sam Harris' recant of his original position against Apple in which he reads an email he received from a Google engineer [1]. The email is very well written
