Josh Uretsky and Russell Drapkin copied voter lists [1]. Did they intend to keep and misuse the lists that they copied? If they knew they were being audited, it's unlikely they intended to misused the data and get away with it. Uretsk

It's way too early for the DNC to take punitive actions against any campaign. They shouldn't do that until there is evidence that data was misused. Currently there is no evidence, and I doubt any will appear.

I think it is pretty unreasonable. As you note, there is no technical reason to deny the Bernie campaign access to their data. The Bernie campaign has fully indicated they want and are willing to cooperate with a third party investigation i

I think the point though, is that it's more than just a single old Rails YAML bug. The privilege escalation shouldn't have been there. Their infrastructure would still be vulnerable even without the initial exploit.

I'm sorry that capitalist libertarians don't like being associated with social conservatives. They should have thought of that before entering a political alliance with them in the 80s. edit: typo

Well, drug companies also market directly to doctors. Only about 12% of pharmaceutical marketing money is "direct to consumer."

Well, presumably an advance will eventually provide a competitive advantage. For example, before the Copernican revolution, we had a model for the cosmos that made decent predictions. The heliocentric model actually made worse predictions f

Sure, I agree. Novice programmers are not going to instantly understand what a category is, or how to utilize compositional programming without a bunch of experience and examples. However, I think for programming to progress we need to deve

css filters work on any element, not just images. Maybe you could overlay two absolutely positioned documents on top of each other for a visual diff.

Would you really want full blown hypertext markup styled with css on your apple tv? Just imagine all of the garish designs that would pop up. It's better to restrict what is allowed in a custom markup language so that apple has better
