As a VERY Left leaning Californian, I am not surprised in the least. Newsom changed the plan from LA -> SF to Bakersfield to Merced, yeah.... As someone who believes we NEED effective railways and public transportation - I am very disappointed with the Democrats lack of commitment to an actual accessible and NEEDED rail-system. As a Bay Area native who just moved to Humboldt county I'm saddened by two things - first nearly 50 after BART opened they still don't provide service to the initial service map, and the prices and load on the system are just worse and worse - they spend more money and energy of attempting to catch fare skippers than its worth for one. Additionally now living on the North Coast, while I am an environmentalist I know that having the rail-system up here would open up the area again for industry and tourism (while driving the 101 is beautiful, it sucks). After visiting Japan last year, being in a city that was fire bombed 70 years ago, and seeing how well the infrastructure works.... it shows that prioritization is what is important. The USA is fixated with supporting defense contractors and building stupid walls and not providing essential services that could actually make this country Great Again... and the Democrats kicking the can and lowering expectations disgusts me almost as much as the Rightwing's willful dismantling of all public services.

I think anything to reduce the recidivism rate is a really good thing (at risk of sounding like the Northern California Bay Area native that I am) - I have severe concerns about the end results - as prisons are increasingly becoming a method of outsourcing within United States borders I could see this being a stepping stone towards a large minimally paid imprisoned work force. Uni-cor already outsources plenty of call-center activities to prison, and much of the clerical work for the government is being processed by prisoners paired with the increasing privatization of all aspect of incarceration - add up to greater incentives to having a large number of the population incarcerated. Of course the non-alarmist part of me really like the idea of people learning, and hopes this program was created with good intentions - maybe the instructors could set-up a Github of some of the impressive work?

The issue here, is people are expecting their sessions to be tied to a unique cookie for authentication, and this isn't the case.

and it was annoying. When will companies learn? Not everyone wants to be tethered to the internet to run their apps...

really?
