I would love to hear from one of these folks! I have so many questions.

No one has provided evidence of this either. But, if the evidence is presented it still doesn't prove that there is a conflict of interest.

You're right. I edited it to "implying."
Re:Democrats Declined DHS Offer to Test Caucus App on Tuesday February 04, 2020 @12:21PM (#22238221)
You are implying that the app developer, the Buttigieg campaign, former Hillary Clinton staffers, and the DNC are working together in bad faith. Along with the context of the article, you are implying that there is a connection between the aforementioned parties and declining the DHS' offer to test the app.
Re:Democrats Declined DHS Offer to Test Caucus App on Tuesday February 04, 2020 @12:12PM (#22238110)
Do you have a source?
Re:Democrats Declined DHS Offer to Test Caucus App on Tuesday February 04, 2020 @12:07PM (#22238032)
As far as I know, all of it. The commenter hasn't provided any sources, and I can't find any evidence of a conflict of interest.

As it stands, this is a blatant attempt to discredit the app developer, the Buttigieg campaign, and the DNC.

Re:Democrats Declined DHS Offer to Test Caucus App on Tuesday February 04, 2020 @11:54AM (#22237846)
No there isn't. The person running things in Iowa stated to the press that there is no evidence of a security issue, only a technical issue.
Re:Democrats Declined DHS Offer to Test Caucus App on Tuesday February 04, 2020 @11:48AM (#22237762)
Yeah, you're right! The Buttigieg campaign should have withheld that 100K until Shadow successfully rigged the Iowa caucus.
Re:Democrats Declined DHS Offer to Test Caucus App on Tuesday February 04, 2020 @11:44AM (#22237700)
Both.

Shadow provides peer to peer engagement software, which is being used by the Buttigieg campaign. Just because the same software is being used in Iowa doesn't mean there is a conflict of interest.

This is a conspiracy theory. Please don't amplify this disinformation. There is no proof anything this commenter is stating has anything to do with the issues in Iowa.

The paper does not use the phrase “benefits whites.” Interpreting the paper as such is a racist interpretation. You would do well to read the paper.
Re:Legacy and Athlete Preferences at Harvard [pdf] on Saturday September 21, 2019 @05:26PM (#21038010)
No it does not. I just reread the opening paragraph three times and there is no comparison being made to AA. Did you not read the paper?

Considering how experienced Slack appeared to be with Elasticsearch by 2017, why did they choose Solr for search?
Facebook's platform allows outside parties to target users based on that data.

Try reading fiction before bed.

I used to spend time thinking about code before sleep. The long term effects is the larger problem. Not giving your mind time to do something else will eventually lead to burn out.

Julian Assange has addressed this issue many times.
No record of pressed charges as of this morning. Seems more likely to be a media redirection of his meltdown with Tucker Carlson.
