"[A university economist said,] 'If people want to go out and get a master's degree in [anything but economics] and then [do something other than economics], that's fine. But I don't think the public should be subsidizing [things from which I don't personally benefit].'"
Kundra is great, but this wasn't his brainchild. This is 20-somethings fresh off the campaign getting inside government and fixing it. Change I can believe in, indeed.
I recently read Peopleware, where they said that in their coding war games experience had no correlation with performance. If experience costs more and has no benefit in development, why would a firm be willing to pay more for it?
(Caveat: Maybe experience has beneficial effects outside of raw development.)
Still, just deleting inappropriate characters is a pretty trivial case of what they are proposing - having something that would say, let you type 999-99 but not 99-99 is trickier, and that is still a very simple digits plus one character situation, where their patent is for arbitrarily complex regexes.
Was this based on a regex? It seems non-trivial to me to be able to validate an incomplete string against a complete regex intelligently. It sounds like that's what IBM wants, which would not be easy and would be pretty cool.
If you read the warrant, the accused allegedly created a profile on a gay hookup site for the alleged victim, pretending to be him. I'm not an expert, but it wouldn't surprise me if that is illegal. I know it's fun to beat up on cops for not knowing what linux is, but in this case I don't think it is at all obvious that this search warrant was without, err, warrant.

"Capitol" investment is paying off your congressmen to maintain your monopoly. I think you mean "capital". Pedant++

So it is easier and more obvious to do a trivial case of something than implement it in its entirety.

He created an account on a gay site under his roommate's name - misrepresentation.

This isn't Vietnam. That isn't the preferred nomenclature. Just "Ukraine" like any other country, thanks!

I'd have to read the injunction, but I'm guessing that it means that Barker doesn't actually have to pay any of this unless she screws up somehow.
