Advanced Data Recovery on Linux
Leave a reply
It’s the perfect nightmare and everyone do all his best to avoid it but sooner or later it happens.
Loosing data from a hard disk or a USB device is more common than you can image and everyone has experienced it!
Windows has different commercial solutions available to recover data and partitions but, if you use Linux, you need something different.
The best solution I found for Linux is an old but current article by Lifehacker.au that I strongly recommend if you are experiencing this kind of problems and want to solve them.

Referendum 2016 in Italy – Forecast
As for the USA Presidential Forecast I used my algorithm with some (better: many) needed changes to adapt it to the Italian Referendum scenario.
Today, it is not possible to publish the results due to the Italian laws about referendum but I created a .png file that shows them. Then I obtained an on-line timestamp by http://www.originstamp.org/ and so I will be able to publish the .png forecast file tomorrow proving exactly when I created it.
Moreover, I published a Tweet with the file hash of that .png file in order to publicly prove it:

The Secret Agenda of a Facebook Quiz by via 
“…Cambridge Analytica, has been using Facebook as a tool to build psychological profiles that represent some 230 million adult Americans…
…No data point is very informative on its own, but profiling voters, says Cambridge Analytica, is like baking a cake. “It’s the sum of the ingredients,” its chief executive officer, Alexander Nix, told NBC News…
…It didn’t have to build everything from scratch. Mark Zuckerberg and others had already built the infrastructure the campaign needed to reach voters directly…”

2016 USA Presidential Election Forecast
By definition, the forecast of the election results is something extremely difficult. A reliable forecast does not simply consider opinion polls but it should be able to also consider the impact of historical, social and economical variables combined with various factors such as the “possible behavior” or “psychological reactions” of voters.
There is always the real risk of not considering or underestimate some essential variables that will affect the decisions of voters just on the election day.
The graphs below are based on data from sites commonly considered as reliable and trustworthy but, in no case these charts can be regarded as scientific or reliable and are merely the result of a data processing described in a post published yesterday via Medium.
As empirically described by the Technical University of Munich through the paper “The mere number of tweets reflects voter preferences and comes close to traditional election polls”, the below analysis assumes the existence of a direct relationship between the number of tweets generated during an electoral contest by a candidate and the final election results.
To mitigate the supposed direct relationship between the number of tweets and the final electoral results I considered other data variables as described in the post published yesterday via Medium.
