Disney Death Star must have a giant laser that points at a random guest every hour else it's a complete failure.

Visceral Realism posted:If i remember correctly, the stimulus was really good for solar. Either that chart is reflecting actual market costs, so reflecting all the rebates and tax breaks and grants going towards the projects, or it's just reflecting that those incentives helped push money into R&D. Oh, that makes a ton of sense, thanks.

Mr Interweb posted:So I was reading an article that mentioned how the new spending bill extended solar and wind tax credits, which is good. However, it also said that solar penetration in the U.S. is less than half a loving percent?! How the hell is it so low? Haven't we had solar for decades now? The US produces assloads of energy. That 0.4% of total US electricity production is still 16.37 billion kilowatthours. And wind is far more popular and productive. Here's what the whole picture is: Coal = 39% Natural gas = 27% Nuclear = 19% Hydropower = 6% Other renewables = 7% {Biomass = 1.7% Geothermal = 0.4% Solar = 0.4% Wind = 4.4%} Petroleum = 1% Other gases < 1% The total is 4 trillion kilowatthours of production for 2014. fishmech fucked around with this message at 00:10 on Dec 19, 2015 |

theblackw0lf posted:If the Clinton campaign was smart they'd ask the DNC to reinstate VAN access to the Sanders campaign. As far as IT policy goes, the Bernie campaign does have a beef with what I'm reading in that suit. The breach's responsabilities lies with the DNC, not the Bernie campaign. If information of confidential nature was leaked but software bugs from the DNC they should be held liable. If a bug in facebook suddenly revealed everyones PM's for 4 hours then shut it off, it's not my fault for looking it's Facebooks fault for letting a bug like that into the wild, they control the data, not me. This is a chance for the Bernie campaign to make a clear technical argument about IT policy and it's uses in Gov. and the ways it can very easily be abused. HRC should be just as pissed at the DNC for f***ing it up, joining in with another lawsuit. If her campaign isn't I would start to be very suspect of where the bug came from.

BlueBlazer posted:As far as IT policy goes, the Bernie campaign does have a beef with what I'm reading in that suit. The Sanders campaign did not receive the Clinton data from a bug. The Sanders campaign staffers (4) actively exploited a bug to improperly access and save proprietary Clinton voter data for 40 minutes. In addition one staffer attempted to hide two folders of Clinton data. Also the lawsuit is strictly about the punishment and really has nothing to do with admittance of guilt (which they have via firing).

Mitt Romney posted:The Sanders campaign did not receive the Clinton data from a bug. This included doing specific searches for voters the Clinton campaign labeled as highly lightly to support or on the fence about voting. Honestly, this seems like a case of someone assuming both sides would do the same thing instead of realizing it is a tarp.

The first party to notify of the improper access was the vendor to the DNC. Then the DNC took action. The Sanders campaign did not notify of the improper access before that time.

What's kind of obvious is the bug was somehow time-based. They stole personal information from voters for 40 minutes, what made them stop? The DNC didn't suddenly close the bug right then. Plus you have the guy who hacked people's vital info saying he had noticed the bug before - so how do we know this was the only time he exploited it to gain access to people's information he should not have had access to?

No, they only owned up to it after they got their access cut off. And they only fired one of the four. pathetic little tramp posted:What's kind of obvious is the bug was somehow time-based.

Given that the bad code was only live for about four hours, my guess is that they only did it for 40 minutes because that was the time from their noticing it to when the system got taken down to fix the bug.

This wouldn't look as bad if someone else from some state party or pac had also used the bug to download data, but no one else did, so it looks worse.

There was no bug before- it was misinformation from the Sanders campaign and related to a different vendor (not NGP VAN): quote:Second, there has been independent confirmation that NGP VAN has not received previous notice of a data breach regarding NGP VAN. Josh Uretsky, the former National Data Director for the Sanders campaign confirmed on MSNBC (at 5:47), and also on CNN, regarding the previous incident: “it wasn’t actually within the VAN VoteBuilder system, it was another system.”

Fire this incompetent side-taking unprofessional. It's disgusting: no one has any conscious anymore and everyone has a price. Tell me Debbie: how much did shillery's campaign manager promise you if you helped undermine sander's campaign? A spot in the cabinet? Money? Favors? Go to hell you but not before you download everything twice.

Mr Interweb posted:So solar's actually doing pretty good then? Yeah I mean, part of it is that solar always has a disadvantage in total generation because, well, it doesn't work at night and has reduced effectiveness on cloudy/rainy days. Wind produces 11 times as much because there's a lot of places you can put it across the US that'll at least manage partial capacity generation 24/7, and there's also been viable wind production for a lot longer.

I grant you that, but last I knew it was still difficult for campaigns to use vendors other than ngp-van and maintain data consistency with the party. Even if it was ngp-van contracted to build the interface that allows other vendors to be used by campaigns it would be better than the vendor lockin that exists.

The primaries are no longer about finding an acceptable candidate we can all agree on, but a circus act for all walks of life on the internet to extract schadenfreude from whomever they think the losing side will be. We have no idea who we're really electing anymore, only our thirst for psychological bloodlust matters.

Because half the time the interface won't work. And when the campaign is over and broke who is going to pay to fix it? Having a single source of truth and system of record is worth a vendor lock in.

Kilroy posted:The Clinton campaign would not have had to do even that, as the possibility that they might lose access wouldn't have even come up. Sure, you can call people liars because you distrust them, but it is just your gut and a lack of evidence to back you up. Kilroy posted:Let's flip that around. With all that is at stake, why risk alienating potential voters in the general to kneecap a candidate who has no chance of getting the nomination anyway? Or there's an alternative explanation that this isn't a grand conspiracy? Instead an overreaction from an organization that's not known for its technical knowhow. Watergate comes to mind quickly and that comparison sheds light on the response. Joementum posted:Possibly, but I'm not sure what advantage there would be for the campaigns to do that, particularly because NGP-VAN contains data collected by past campaigns, which they get to use. I guess that's part of what I mean, ngp-van gets a data based advantage that can help strangle competition that could provide better campaign tools. If the party was a better arbiter of that data, any D campaign no matter what vendor they pick would be getting as much data as possible. Xae posted:Because half the time the interface won't work. Why would that have to be true? Would they have contracted a Republican company?

Kilroy posted:The Clinton campaign would not have had to do even that, as the possibility that they might lose access wouldn't have even come up. From an insider friend of mine who organizes fieldwork for campaigns. quote:The staffer in question stole millions of dollars of proprietary information, had at least three subordinates (including a Deputy National Data Director) do the same thing, and then attempted to hide the evidence once he'd done it. When they say "we didn't save any data" that tells me that they created dynamic (rather than static) lists. This is actually even worse, since the dynamic list updates every time new data comes in. That tells me that Sanders' data people planned for this theft to be ongoing. When they hid the folders, and the way they hid the folders (according to news reports), it looks suspiciously like they were trying to hide what was going on so that they could keep the theft undiscovered and steal data over the long haul.

Most Americans seem to think that if you dare to live and work outside the US, you are something like a traitor, and American tax policy really reflects that.
