I'm thinking that Apple will try to do something a bit different besides just live streaming the conference talks. I agree that being there in person is of great value, but Apple may try to make it more dynamic. Like live Q&A sessi

Hmm, the president just said that it was a 50 year old woman that died. But the Seattle Times stated that that woman was at home resting comfortably. We'll probably know more after the 1 pm press conference by King County health offici

It was Equifax that had the data breach, not Experian. Equifax was fined $700 million. Experian benefitted from the breach though since Equifax provided Experian credit monitoring services to those whose data was released. Equifax stock has

Just to clarify, it was a server motherboard, not the whole server. I would assume that the motherboard takes up a lot less volume and weight that a full server box.

MSNBC interviewed a precinct captain who stated she had no problems with the app. Last week they were given test PINs for training purposes so training was provided.

It's not electronic voting, it's electronic reporting.

Each PIN number was tied to a precinct. Once the app reported its numbers, the pin was invalidated, preventing logging in again.

It wasn't just reporting the final results. They were keeping tabs on both the first and second realignments, plus delegate counts. Essentially three sets of numbers. The reason behind this is so they could report total turnout numbers

That's not what the tweet says, the DNC did not suggest they use the app. What the DNC said is that the previous method they were going to use (online voting) could be susceptible to hacking and so wasn't acceptable. The Iowa Demo

Southwest only has 34 737 MAX planes. There is no way that all 10000 pilots will be trained in 30 days. Most likely, a couple hundred of those will be trained up front so that enough pilots are trained when the plane is returned to service.
