    One more: "Ebola was treated as a study in alarm, stigma, xenophobia, the legacy of slavery... Scientific thought leaders who should have known better let crucial discussions about infection control be influenced by a desire not to validate Fox News."

  4. From what I can find, that SQL-exposed screenshot is most likely NOT the app being used in Iowa. Nobody seems to have much info on what app was being used, though, or definitively on what role it played in tonight's mess. ok bedtime

    The app being used tonight was cobbled together in the past two months after a previous reporting scheme - which involved caucus goers calling their votes in over the phone- was scrapped for security reasons. The app was never vetted by DHS, never tested at scale, and NV is...

  6. Here's another by the same developer, also for caucuses, doesn't say which. Don't know whether these are what's being used in Iowa.

  9. I should also say we don't know for sure whether this screenshot itself is authentic. I don't know how one gets access to the app. Which in a way bolsters my point; we shouldn't be in a position of needing to know. But in any case I've asked OP and will update when he replies.

  10. This app may well turn out to be secure, but when you're running one of the most important elections in the country on it, simply having this code exposed is enough to destroy trust in it regardless of whether it represents a real vulnerability.

  11. Maybe they're sanitizing their inputs. Based on what we know of these app devs, how much confidence would you place in that assumption?

  12. Here's a handy illustration of why election software is a terrible idea: This error message potentially tells anyone who's used SQL how to get access to this database to tinker with it however they want.

  13. If we weren't in our fourth straight year of agonizing about election hacks and information hygiene, wouldn't state officials who noticed irregularities in a few sets of results just release what they have now and then quietly dump a few tweaks in a day or two?

  14. Of course the technical question (who got the most votes) has only a fuzzy relationship to the actual question (who gets to own the "momentum" pseudo-event), for which we need a decision by the morning and at this point any decision will do, so let's do this:

  16. Imagine a system for issuing a decision, composed of many discrete steps, each elaborately designed to bolster the decision's legitimacy, but which placed together become so complex that the system may fail to issue a decision at all, thus destroying the decision's legitimacy

  21. This is why I can't get worked up over Carl Sagan's prescience for our anti-science era. The Sagan/Nye/Tyson anthropology of reason — individual empowerment vs. oppressive authority and received belief — is closer to the Goop! one than either would care to admit.
