This is an especially worthless leak because the documents dealing with the thing that crashed in Roswell in 1947 were already declassified back in the mid 1990's.
My freshman physics teacher, and undergraduate college advisor, worked on project mogul. He was part of the team that built the craft that crashed in Roswell in 1947. I learned college physics from one of the beings that built the craft that crashed in Roswell and started a UFO 'craze'! (He was a human being, but that is still a being.) New Mexico Tech was an amazing school. Professors like Charlie Moore, Sterling Colgate, and Bernie Vonnegut (Kurt's brother) made it a pretty exciting place.
I don't really understand the purpose of the 'leak' unless it is to show that some people who work with Hillary Clinton have some pretty wacky beliefs. Has anyone been paying attention to politics for the last few decades? This is not startling in any way. Finding evidence of a rational person, without wacky beliefs, involved in politics would be a world shattering revelation.
Don't throw your vote away by voting for a Democrat or a Republican. They will simply ignore the voters and do whatever it is the sources of their largest campaign donors ask. Voting for a Democrat or a Republican is a wasted vote.
Vote for third party candidates, or write in the name of a qualified person, or even a personal friend when a third party candidate is not running for a given office.
You are not throwing your vote away if you vote third party. You are voting for a third party if you vote third party. It is just as legitimate a vote as any other vote.
It actually seems more like you are throwing your vote away if you vote Republican or Democrat. Neither of the two major parties seem to do what they promise, and neither of them seem to care about their voters, just their donors.
Vote third party so you don't throw your vote away.
However, I would say the jury is still out as this is a small effect and is one study. It looks like they reduce head on and head to side crashes that are caused when a car runs a red light, but they increase or do not effect rear end crashes when a lead car stops, but a following car does not stop. The head on and head to side crashes are deadlier than the rear end crashes (insert pinto, corsair and Kardashian jokes here).
You can also find studies, on the sites of red-light camera suppliers, that say red light cameras reduce accidents and that tax payers should support the red light camera industry with unlimited funding. Think of the children.
systemd is a pile of horse shit that was thrown into a fan so it sprayed everywhere, touched everything and contaminated what it touched.
sysvinit is a pile of cow shit, in a field somewhere, touching only the ground it rests on. Don't go to that field and step in that pile and it won't bother you.
If there are bugs in sysvinit, they affect sysvinit. If there are bugs in systemd, its everyone else's fault and everyone else should re-write their software to handle the bugs in systemd because the systemd developers are way too important to waste their incredible talent fixing their own bugs.
You sound way too rational to be an AC here at Slashdot.

Media accounts of violence in Chicago are reported with a kind of frenzy that is out of phase with the reality. I don't know if it is because the mayor is so despised, or because Barak Obama might be embarrassed by it. Not really sure why Chicago gets so much hate in the national media over violence, murder and shootings when the truth is there are many more violent cities across the US.
A little over 10 years ago I wrote an article for Lxer about the Snakes and Rubies talk given by David Heinemeier Hansson and Adrian Holovaty (co-creator of Django) at DePaul University in Chicago.
It was quite a talk. Opened up quite a few opportunities for me over the following years. I don't think people even begin to realize what a profound effect efforts like RoR and Django had on the industry. Enterprise level web development was extremely painful with frameworks existing at the time. Getting well made sites that were robust and easily maintainable was a herculean task.
Please check out the article, although many of the links no longer exist. The snakes and rubies website is no longer supported, but the talk can be seen on youtube.
Strangely, David Heinemeier Hansson is from the Netherlands and lives in Chicago, while Adrian Holovaty is from Chicago and lives in the Netherlands.
If by "they're doing just fine", you mean that they lost so much money and were on the verge of going out of business and sold everything, even their name, then you have a point.
The former AT&T is a now a small subsidiary of the former Southern Bell Corporation (SBC). The company you now see calling itself AT&T is really SBC who gobbled up AT&T and a bunch of other baby bells.
The federal government split AT&T into long distance and several local phone companies (baby bells). The Feds first deregulated the long distance business allowing for competition which led to price drops and then to declining profits. The plan was that a few years after long distance was deregulated, the local baby bells would be deregulated and their local monopolies would be broken up and opened to competition. This second step never happened. The local providers kept their monopolies, consolidated to become a few very large local monopolies, and even bought out the failing AT&T.
AT&T is dead. SBC, thanks to its government backed monopoly on local phone service, is doing "just fine."
They were going to use 'Planet Express', but the IAU and Neil DeGrasse Tyson found that their missions didn't meet the definition of planetary missions, so they had to change.
They briefly considered 'Dwarf Express', but realized that that would be terrible, so they settled on 'Moon Express'. 'Lunar Express' would have been better.
I hope they name their probes 'Zoidberg' and 'Farnsworth'.
OK, -Palooza is taken, but a series of live concert events in major cities around the world with big name and up and coming bands and other sideshow entertainment. I know that there are already several large shows like this now, but Netflix can record the content for re-broadcast, develop behind the scenes shows and even do a reality TV show where contestants compete as roadies or as side show carnies and face elimination challenges each week using the usual formula of being voted off by their peers or by judges, with one or two 'saves' from the Netflix viewers.
Smaller bands might also do side deals for live concerts spin off's beyond the mega concert, available on Netflix streaming. This could boost music sales on-line for up and coming artists. More famous bands might get a documentary style spin off, interviews, behind-the-scenes, or whatever.
It generates content for future streaming, and the reality TV part could get a good run for a few years and help the content not get too stale year after year.
Netflix could partner with one of the existing mega-concert production companies. Something like this would be good for a minimum of 4 or 5 years, maybe more if it is popular.
I would also suggest a 'battle of the bands' kind of show as part of the events, where the concert goers get to decide the winners over the course of a season as part of NetflixPalooza. Start with groups of bands, like groups in the World Cup. Then advance to the semi-finals and finals for elimination. Internet voting could revive 2 or 3 bands eliminated in the group play for a round between the group play and the semi-finals. Giving the Netflix subscribers a say in the outcome is empowering and forms a connection with the show. I worry that music competition shows may be past their prime (American Idol, The Voice, etc), and not worth doing. The groups play to single elimination finals, with a chance for revival from the internet audience may make it more interesting that existing shows. Also, the live concert aspect is novel and could be worth it.
None of these ideas are truly original. Just combinations of other entertainment that works well right now. That is pretty much what the entertainment industry has always done, find what works and repeat it until it has no life left in it so it should be an easy sell to investors.

Oh, they were hacked. It's just that the hackers didn't get EBCDIC and kept trying to 'unencrypt' the files they got into ASCII.

Chicago isn't even close to D.C. Chicago doesn't make the top 100 list of most violent cities. D.C. is number 35.

I don't know if it is because the mayor is so despised, or because Barak Obama might be embarrassed by it.
