Comment on ASUO Senate agenda by usual suspect

There is a hearing coming up about UO developing a city owned parcel in the controversial RRP (the parcel is the grassy field just South from the urban farm). The ASUO should be examining the details of this. The hearing decision is subject to appeal. The hearing location may be moved to the city council chamber if the issue generates interest. I think this may get appealed if it is approved. The hearing is on July 28 in the Sloat Room at the Atrium building downtown at 5 pm.

Comment on Maybe this story is a little important? by Zachary Vishanoff

This “new” proposal sounds like Frohnmayer’s old “new partnership”/autonomy scheme. It was a bad idea then and now. How is it that no reporter asks this president “So you just got here and suddenly you are the expert and we should trust you to fix everything ?” He is a snake oil peddler. UO undermines all OUS schools. The state should cut it off entirely. If you want the public to understand UO bonding limitations you should interview Nathan Tublitz.

Comment on More about whether results are known. by Evan P. Thomas

Haha! The rumors are starting to pile in!
Though I am on the opposite slate as Jeremy, I have a lot of respect for him and can attest to the fact that this html code does not “spy” on Duckweb. The concept of an html code “spying” on anything external is kind of funny, you can only “spy” on your own information on your own computer (IE: catch a cheater kind of software that exists).

To actually spy on Duckweb you’d need a packet sniffer and a really good ability to dissolve script, which is essentially hacking. Which certainly isn’t visible via code, so if he did it we certainly wouldn’t know about it, but the UO IT team absolutely would– and elections certainly aren’t worth the risk of expulsion by hacking the duckweb server.

To be fair, the page you should really be looking at is the left sidebar HTML which can be seen here: http://www.vote3c.com/voteduckweb_sidebar.php

While I appreciate Ivar’s praise, internet protocols do not allow you to control content on other domains. The sidebar was simply to instruct users on where to go once they get to DuckWeb and to explain how they can go about voting for our candidates.

Really, everyone. Our text message was based on our internal estimates of the number of votes we had relative to the total number of votes cast. That number certainly wasn’t based on the number of people who went to our vote page. It was based on our discussions with voters.

Comment on Do candidates know the vote count? Probably not. by zstarmac

It was just an estimate based on our internal vote count and the total number of votes released by the elections board, and a way to spur volunteers to action.
