Every match pops up with each voter's age, sex, and location along with an option to add the information of someone who’s not listed or still needs to register to vote.

-Defenders of the BERN app have pointed out that the information used is already available from public voter rolls maintained independently by each state. This is true. But these public records have never been tied to a campaign's internal voter files through a tool that’s wide open to the entire internet, with incentives to add valuable data that benefits one candidate.

 There were even unverified claims that [BERN was leaking voter ID numbers](https://info.idagent.com/blog/bern-app-exposes-150m-voter-records), which are the same as one's driver's license ID numbers in some states, through JSON responses in the first few days after its release. There don't be appear to be strict rate limits on calls to the API either, potentially inviting malicious actors from around the world  — wink wink  — to scrape personal data on tens of millions of Americans en masse.

 [Matthew Prince](https://twitter.com/eastdakota), the CEO and co-founder of [Cloudflare](https://www.cloudflare.com/) (who's also [very active](https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=eastdakota) on Hacker News), responded to the observation [with a detailed explanation](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19828702) of what's happening behind the scenes, revealing that Archive.is's owner is actively refusing to resolve their own website for 1.1.1.1 users because Cloudflare's DNS offers ***too much*** privacy. Excerpt below, emphasis mine:
 
-> We don't block archive.is or any other domain via 1.1.1.1. [...] Archive.is's authoritative DNS servers **return bad results to 1.1.1.1 when we query them**. I've proposed we just fix it on our end but our team, quite rightly, said that too would violate the integrity of DNS and the privacy and security promises we made to our users when we launched the service. [...] The archive.is owner has explained that **he returns bad results to us because we don’t pass along the EDNS subnet information**. This information leaks information about a requester’s IP and, in turn, sacrifices the privacy of users.  [Read more »](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19828702)

 In other words, Archive.is's nameservers throw a hissy fit and return a bogus IP when Cloudflare **doesn't** leak your geolocation info to them via the optional [EDNS client subnet feature](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7871). The owner of Archive.is has plainly admitted this with [a questionable claim](https://twitter.com/archiveis/status/1018691421182791680) (in my opinion) about the lack of EDNS information causing him "so many troubles."

You’ll notice that even if you create a virtual machine with a capacity of 60 GB, for example, the actual size of the VMDK file will dynamically resize to fit the usage of the guest operating system. 60 GB is simply the maximum amount of storage allowed; if your guest operating system and its files amount to 20 GB, the VMDK file will simply be 20 GB.

 VMware can be set to automatically optimize and shrink virtual hard disks as you add and, more importantly, remove files – but [this automatic "clean up" setting is disabled by default](https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Fusion/11/com.vmware.fusion.using.doc/GUID-6BB29187-F47F-41D1-AD92-1754036DACD9.html). Either way, cleaning up virtual machines works like a charm...when you have Windows as a guest operating system with an NTFS disk.
