Paul Schreiber blogs about the tech behind the websites of presidential candidates. "So, you want to run a country. Can you hire someone who can run a website? ...Here's how the (declared) candidates' sites fare." There's a table comparing 4 candidates' sites based on HTTPS, URL permutations, IPv6, SSL rating, and other related qualities. Schreiber mentions that he will "update this as more candidates declare or sites change."

From the blog comments

HillaryClinton.com was using IIS (and no https) until Sunday morning, when they switched over.

    My god, my estimation of Ethanol, and others of his ilk, has just fallen beyond recovery. It is almost like when the Insane Clown Posse admitted they had no idea how magnets worked. Is it actually possible for human to be this stupid? Or more to the point, is it possible that humans cannot know they are revealing just how stupid they are, with a computer, over a computer network? I smell a patent violation here, along with the teen spirit. Curt Cobain:"Here we are now, entertain us; we feel stupid, and contagious!"\

    Nobody knows how magnets work. Not even physicists and electrical engineers. We can describe what we've observed about them and how they interact with each other and with other matter, but we still don't truly understand how they work.

      We know how they work.
      We just don't know why they work.

      It's probably god. Just not the ICP's ultra-christian version of God.

        There's absolutely zero reason to even think a god exists, let alone think that it makes magnets work.
