  How long is it going to be before a major player from the technology world gets serious about U.S. politics?

  I'm serious about that. When can we be done with these buffoons who have no concept of what's going on in the world?

  I'm not saying I want to see Larry or Sergei as president. Nor Zuckerberg for that matter. But I'd vote for Sheryl Sandberg any given Tuesday over any candidates I've seen from either of the two parties in the last 15 years.

  Sheryl Sandberg/Paul Graham vs. Tim Cook/Jon Stuart.

  That's a debate I'd care about. That's a debate where a "transparent campaign" would be more than marketing drivel/security breach.

  Well, to be fair, the identity theft demographic can be productive in generating votes.

  I found one social security number in 30 seconds of looking. I have not attempted to look for more, yet.

  This is DEPLORABLE.

  If anyone cares about information security and is considering voting for this idiot, please reconsider.

  I say "idiot" intentionally. Whatever else I may think of him, on any topic, this move alone is idiotic. The fact that his advisers didn't stop him from doing this speaks so poorly of them.
