Milloy has been spouting denial for decades, but this might be the dumbest thing I've seen him say yet.

I hope it was consensual

Depends on the bread.

This. I'm in subtropical Australia. Bread goes on the bench in winter and in the fridge in summer (or in the freezer if I have too much).

I'm in a house of 3, and and in summer we get through about half a loaf before the rest goes mouldy. Less if it's been really wet.

Yes, but also on broader society. 100 years ago that would have been contained - people in you're neighbourhood would know you and help out. It's a lot harder in the internet age

I wonder when Dyson is going to bring out their arse-sized airblade?

I feel like this comment could be applied in many diverse contexts.

This article is old, but a good read: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/11/14/16640082/donna-brazile-warren-bernie-sanders-democratic-primary-rigged

The 2016 Democratic primary wasn’t rigged by the DNC, and it certainly wasn’t rigged against Sanders. But Democratic elites did try to make Clinton’s nomination as inevitable, as preordained, as possible. And the party is still managing the resentment that engendered in voters. “Once somebody doesn’t trust you,” sighs Buckley, the New Hampshire Democratic chair, “it’s very hard to get that trust back.”

The DNC did mess with the 2016 preselections, but the article argues that that probably benefited Sanders, by giving him much more of a platform than he would otherwise have had.

But it also seems like a footgun for the democrats as a whole, and probably contributed to the 2016 anti-establishment vibe that led to the Trump win

That's kind of a myth though, isn't it?

Like, OK, they probably have more mature security systems in place (but that's definitely not guaranteed, especially with anything middle tier or smaller), and at least they have cash reserves so you might get something if you can figure out how to sue them.

But most businesses would be well happy to make a quick buck off selling whatever private data they managed to get their hands on.

I'd be surprised if someone hasn't already tried to make a business out of redistributing background check information, now that I think about it..

That's a good list. Certainly a public feature/bug tracker would be nice. But those are pretty rare for corporate software..
