A year ago GOP was projected to keep the senate by a safe margin, and here they are losing seats by a wide margin. Even if you're not into the politics of it, the analysis of the electoral data itself would count as "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity." Which counties flipped? Why? By how many? Were there flaws in polling data? Is there a statistical trend?
Also this isn't an article, it's a live feed.
Anyway, back to work on my systems that spy on people to extract more ad revenue, and autonomous killbots. The tech for those is so _cool_, lots of fun challenges :)
