Sounds like those two also need to get in an octagon. What a s-show.

hi, thanks much. very fun. any chance you could add keyboard shortcuts to the menu items after completing a level? (try again, next, menu) so that a user doesn't need to switch from keyboard to mouse.

bring on the downvotes, but my loaf of bread costs $2.99 now and was $1.19 twenty years ago. Why hasn't inflation affected your bread? Can I get some of your bread shipped in bulk?
I'm sorry Hillary, I'm afraid I can't let you do that.

appears to be some progress until you scroll down to see the interview and survey results. the study is all 18-34 year olds. compare against the past 15 years of voter history age grouping on turnout/registration, not a representation of the majority of the voters. they essentially asked their 18 year old kids what car to buy for their 65 year old grand parents. "Easy, Lambo."
I worked at a local paper in `00 and wrote a classic asp over access "news desk" for them. I just ran into one of my coworkers and he mentioned certain key parts of the app is STILL in use.

the user's joke was more nerdy and a little sexist. that is all. same could be in the other extreme the other extreme for: sudo apt-get upgrade brakes-man paint-house. Yup, stereotypes exist. Chill and ignore on, no one is stomping out your right to be alive and do what you want.

best, reply, ever.

Not the campaigns...the parties.

whoa man...those tech's aren't even in play. lol. It's MSSQL and Oracle, with .net web apps [usually] running on top.

building on hadoop/spark is way outside their wheelhouse.

Re:The DNC data breach on Saturday December 19, 2015 @06:24AM (#10763294)
The first question I ask people when talking about this project is, "Do you know your voter information is public?" About 85% are shocked and in horror that this information is available. Outside of a campaign, it is hard to say if the public would support it.

I've chatted with a two different lawyers over here in Ohio...and both have advised strict security and election/campaign use only.

Re:The DNC data breach on Saturday December 19, 2015 @06:19AM (#10763287)
a good overview, yes. For example, NY says "Election purposes only", but fails to mention that each infraction is a misdemeanor. And, Ohio is wrong. Ohio is campaign/election use only, also with the misdemeanor kicker.
Re:The DNC data breach on Friday December 18, 2015 @06:58PM (#10761848)
i'll fire an email your way shortly. but yea, a conversation would be great.
Re:The DNC data breach on Friday December 18, 2015 @06:54PM (#10761841)
agreed. many of the systems running our campaigns are "clunkers".
Re:The DNC data breach on Friday December 18, 2015 @06:42PM (#10761778)
if I define open as, "your campaign would have to register and be verified"...then it abides by the state/fed rules for these datasets. I can't just throw the data on github.
Re:The DNC data breach on Friday December 18, 2015 @06:32PM (#10761721)
aristole and ngpvan "scoring" isn't a game changer. Losing access to their existing work is what matters.
Re:The DNC data breach on Friday December 18, 2015 @06:27PM (#10761688)
I've been working on a project like this for some time now - and wresting with whether I want to go the community-based vs. closed source model.

The problems listed below are pretty exact: huge data sets, lots of cleaning and normalizing, and the snail mail/cd problem is real. Additionally, I'd note that ~40% of the states [somehow] charge for the data...it takes six digits to get a snapshot of all 50 states - and certain states (looking at you FL) say that they do not store the historical, meaning you have to connect with the local BoE's to aggregate the data.

A part of me [now] wants to open source this because of the DNC's actions.

how is this information public, or publically accessible? any one know?

Re:Show HN: Sublime Text Database Client on Friday October 23, 2015 @03:57PM (#10440950)
I don't know that I'd save that much time switching back and forth between sublime and workbench is my typical workflow. I gain a lot from the multiple cursors when building multiple insert/delete statements...but not sure what other situations where I could leverage this plugin to save time [with sql].

I am interested to see how "version 2" of this pans out.

For the record, workbench is not the end-all. It is quite clunky.
