I see that the story (though not this source) has been submitted before, but there doesn't seem to have been much discussion, so I thought it worth resubmitting, rather than point at other, effectively dead submissions.

I've been on this site for some time, and I have finally worked out why I don't understand how things work. It's because it's people who are using it.

And people, even hackers[0], are weird, illogical, random, and unpredictable.

[0] Perhaps especially hackers.

i am not sure on what basis Cory Doctrow indicated the Greek scandal was undertaken to affect bids for Greek games rather than safety of Greek games. Is there any evidence one way or another?
