   Part (most?) of the damage isn't contained in the numbers you cited. Wells Fargo used customer identities to apply for and open credit cards, which could have affected their credit scores and thus potentially the interest rates they pa

   Looks like some good suggestions: - Glad they're recommending a stop to the pointless "password must be no longer than (16, 20, ...) characters". Aren't you storing a constant-length hash anyway? - Why do some logins res

   I'm the same way, I find a good series of lectures to be the best way for me to wrap my head around something. I think it's a combination of "visual" and "global" learning styles. A global learning style means

   That's actually a great question and I don't think I can really answer it yet since I've only done internships and I'm set to start my first full-time job in January. I find some satisfaction in trying to optimize the sm

   I agree with you about the European parliament example, but speaking of the U.S. situation specifically, we already have a bicameral legislature with disproportionate representation for lower population states in one of its houses. We also

    Nate Silver actually wrote a post about the LA Times poll. I don't think it makes sense to compare individual polls with poll aggregates. A single data point being accurate/inaccurate can be due more to luck than methodology, whil

    I don't think any citizen's vote should count more than another just because they're part of a minority, geographic or otherwise. Imagine the uproar that would ensue if a politician suggested that a racial, ethnic, or religio
