- akhilcacharya 10y agoNo, but "by Clemson" might. For an industry that claims to be a pure meritocracy I'd really love it if it were practiced more with regard to schools.
- labster 10y agoWe are a meritocracy in the original sense of the word: those given the most merits make the rules.
- mtimjones 10y agoThe biggest story of the year, and it's not trending on Facebook nor Twitter. Fairness and journalism is dead in the U.S.
- marricks 10y agoInteresting how they chose not to actually show any emails by themselves, just through wikileaks iframes... perhaps a CYA thing.
- duaneb 10y agoThis is the institution that pressed hacking charges against a kid scraping JSTOR from a broom closet.... they seem very protective of content sourced via their brand.
- tzs 10y agoMIT did not press charges against Swartz. They did bring in outside law enforcement when they had an unknown party trespassing and installing equipment in a wiring closet, and who caused MIT to temporarily lose JSTOR access, thereby impacting research activities, and they had no idea what that unknown party was trying to accomplish. By the time Swartz was arrested and identified, it was out of MIT's hands.
- tomcam 10y agoI miss Aaron a lot, but thank you for treating the incident objectively.
- iconjack 10y agoWhy not let wikileaks serve the emails on the MIT page? It's the way the web is supposed to work. Also, the wikileaks archive is the "official" copy in some sense.
- nodesocket 10y agoSorry if I am being naive, but who is making sure these e-mails don't have sensitive information in them? For example, password reset requests or I don't know... perhaps national security information.
- rosser 10y agoCertainly not WikiLeaks.
- ihsw 10y agoPodesta, Clinton's campaign manager, kept sent his password in plaintext. It was found among the initial Wikileaks dumps and then several of his accounts (both personal and professional) were compromised, which lead to more leaks. There definitely is sensitive information in there, but to answer your question: I'm sure some of it is being screened, but obviously not all of it.
- nodesocket 10y agoFor me, it is not acceptable to leak sensitive information about high rank political figures. --bring on the downvotes--
- cndkxjsnf 10y agoSo I see you're a big fan of Richard Nixon.
- oh_sigh 10y agoNo one cares about your stance without what kind of logic you used to arrive at that stance. Please share why you feel this way and I will happily upvote you, even if I disagree with it.
- JackFr 10y agoIs it more acceptable for political figures of lesser rank? Why the distinction?
- 10y ago
- yellowapple 10y agoIs hrod17@clintonemail.com seriously the best Hillary goddamn Clinton can do? Not hillary@clintonemail.com? What the hell is the 17 for? Even my grandparents have more coherent email addresses, and they don't even have a whole domain effectively for themselves.
- iconjack 10y agoThe 17 is for '17, aka 2017, the year she was to become president.
- bathory 10y agoMaybe a very shitty security-by-obscurity scheme? 'They will never guess my email handle!'
- CapoteVing 10y agoShe prolly has both of them. Would u want a bunch of unknowm ppl bothering u on your main line? How many email addy's u got?
