ProPublica article on a vulnerability in the Iowa app seems to suggest they didn't use any encryption in it (even https).

What the goddamn fuck.

Or pay your taxes if you're self employed, idk

Tax filing protip: you can pirate TurboTax if you need a little more control. No crack needed. They don't have copy protection on it because the last time they tried they ruined people's hard drives.

Intuit sucks and so does the tax code, get ya money

Here we go with the delegation-vote count disparity shit again

Also it should not have taken 18 hours to count all these precincts from paper records, what the fuck

So the Iowa caucus results are further delayed because they never actually tested if the app was reporting caucus results correctly.

Wow, it's almost like that NPR article was clairvoyant about this exact literal thing happening and the Iowa DNC rep in that article lied about there being backup plans.

Fucking tech culture

I didn't intend to make this marked sensitive but it works

leave it to the fucking DNC to botch a primary on the first day huh

Hmm, sure would suck if someone hacked these almost assuredly vulnerable voting apps and used them to sow distrust in the voting system.

Apparently the Iowa Democratic Party is using an unvetted mobile app to handle the vote tallying.

How the fuck are we still fucking this up...

Quake III Arena on Dreamcast had cross-platform multiplayer in 2001. Nearly 20 years later the games industry is still figuring out that people might actually want that

the advertisting industry must go

code is policy. which means, generally, things are better if there's less of it

more realistic horror stories need to involve simulated EAS alerts

the prospect of Bernie potentially winning in the Iowa caucus on Monday is honestly pretty promising.
