We don't know who leaked the emails. You'll have to show me proof otherwise. What's disturbing is the content of the emails. Clinton will not last six months into her presidency, I…

I am disappointed by the lack of political discussion on Hacker News. Can't we trust our fellow HN users to handle this discussion civilly? Technology and governance increasingly h…

> they can't be hacked Not so sure, the paper ballot system may been hacked in 2000 US election. The other criminal activities of the Bush family make it more suspect, IMO.

The thread is here. Why was it flagged? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12840284

So what are you saying, that the emails are fake or doctored?

I'm with you. It's disappointing that for whatever reason Clinton in particular is barely discussed on HN. What's come out in the last few weeks should be an enormous, shocking new…

CNN is now mixing in pure lies with their usual selective reporting and narrative spinning. The whole "it's illegal to read the Podesta emails, but not for us at CNN, so get all yo…

I make new accounts here all the time, and I've been posting on HN for 7+ years.

It seems pretty simple to me. Have the machine print a receipt that shows your info and who you voted for, have the voter check it over and sign it, and then have the voter hand it…

> editing text files before the GUI will start What text files are you referring to? I've been using linux for 10+ years and have never had to do this.

Sure, I'm quite positive I can help you with this. I don't have Skype though, do you mind communicating over email? Mine is mf88mf88@gmail.com, feel free to contact me!

Might it have something to do with this? https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/majority-of-u... I'm no fan of the American education system, having suffered through it a f…

What CMS? Is the content in a database? Isn't your client paying you under the assumption that you already know how to do this?

Indeed. I'm sorry about your brother, and I'm sorry that in a saner society your brother might have gotten the help he needed, or known the purity of the heroin he took, or someone…

Thanks to, among other organizations, the US Department of "Defense" and its 27,000+ "public relations" employees, even a comment section might be bought and paid for. It's known f…
