Title: Hey! IT guys! Bad code on Obamacare website. Surprise!
Post by: Pandora on October 11, 2013, 04:32:20 PM
Actually, bad isn't the word; according to the author, it's a non-functional design, perhaps deliberate.

   
Obamacare computer code riddled with typos, Latin filler text, desperate programmer comments and disastrous architecture
(http://www.naturalnews.com/042428_Obamacare_exchange_Javascript_critical_errors.html#)

Quote
I have personally looked at the Javascript code running part of the Healthcare.gov website. If you are curious how I got the code, I simply typed the URL of the Javascript code into the browser address field. The browser then pulls up the entire code block, because Javascript is client-side code (not server-side).

What I am seeing in this code is nothing short of jaw-dropping. As people are now saying, this code is "CRAAAAAZY!" You almost can't even call it Javascript code. If you sat down 100 monkeys in front of 100 typewriters and told them to start banging away, I'm confident at least one of them would come up with something far better than the Healthcare.gov Javascript code.

In fact, I am practically ROFLMAO just looking at this code. Any competent programmer in the world, upon seeing this, would just burst their britches in knowing the U.S. government spent $600+ million dollars on this project. Inside the code, the Javascript programmer comments are just off-the-charts hilarious. Comments found in the code include (yes, these are actual text comments from the script):

RTWT.  Ever a non-techie like myself can grok what he outlines in this piece.

Oh, and ..... bwahahahahahhhaaaaaaa!

Pan, what's the h/t to Anne B for? No link to anything she wrote?
I do, however, have something she wrote about the why of it.
I know some here think she's gone aff the deep end, and I have to admit its a possibility, but she does still make sense at times

http://www.barnhardt.biz/2013/10/11/history-rhymes-obamacare-website-and-the-ukrainian-wheat-farmers/ (http://www.barnhardt.biz/2013/10/11/history-rhymes-obamacare-website-and-the-ukrainian-wheat-farmers/)

(Not good enough w iPad to make it pretty.)

But this guys article is...I don't know, ridiculous? Not that it isn't true, but that it is so bad it's laughable to a it pro, but he doesn't get into the "why" of it, as far as I read.
Has to be intentional, I'd say.
Which makes it very concerning.

Sorry, Dan.  Her post and link was what led me to the piece I posted.  I thought a H/T was good enough.

We did see the same piece.  And you know what, I not only should have linked to her, but provided the following:

Quote
... Ukraine under Stalin in the early 1930s.  The Ukraine is the breadbasket of eastern Europe.  Tremendous farming and wheat production was centered in the Ukraine.  Under Lenin, and then Stalin, all farms and food production were seized and controlled by the state.  The Soviets hated the Ukrainians and wanted them all dead.  All of them.  So here’s what they did:

At wheat planting time, the farmers all went to the Soviet office in town to get their allocation of seed wheat to plant for that year’s crop.  The Soviets stalled and stalled and then simply refused to give the Ukrainian farmers any seed.  As the planting window narrowed day by day, and then finally closed, the farmers became first ever more urgent, and then resigned themselves in despair to the fact that they would have no crop that year.

Fast forward to wheat harvest time.  The Soviet bureaucrats showed up at the farms and demanded that the farmers deliver that year’s wheat crop harvest.  The farmers, in complete disbelief at the Soviets after having begged and pleaded for seed a few months earlier only to be ignored and then explicitly denied any seed by these very same Soviet bureaucrats, told them that there was no harvest because YOU REFUSED TO GIVE US ANY SEED.

The bureaucrats then accused the farmers of hiding and hoarding the wheat harvest, and summarily executed all of the men and teenaged boys on the spot as “enemies of the Revolution and the people”.  Those were the lucky ones.  The Ukrainians left alive then slowly starved to death, many descending into the madness of starvation.  Many Ukrainian women, insane with hunger, slaughtered, cooked and ate their own children.

How is this pertinent?

That hatchet-faced bitch, Sebellius, when broached with the fact that, since the Obamacare website is dysfunctional and therefore insurance cannot be obtained by the deadline, tossed off this solution:  "then, just pay the fine".

Ohhh, do these people have a helluva reckoning a-comin'.

The f**king arrogance of these people.
In broad daylight, as it were, to keep sticking their fingers in our eyes as wel as high in the air!
Makes me wonder....I know they don't necessarily lack IQ points, so, do they know something? Like where those billions of rounds of ammo went? AnD all that money? And what about the "domestic security force..."?
Intentional provocations are not the handiwork of those who wish their opponents well!

Yeah I heard Mike Adams on Alex Jones' show today talking about this. I hadn't looked at the sign up site, but this is indeed LOL-worthy for a system of this scale and seriousness.

I use client-side validators on stuff I've written for internal consumption on my company's intranet, because it's a controlled environment and not open to Internet traffic. You'd never use it alone for any sensitive system exposed to the public. Essentially it's relying on the user's web browser to enforce "input sanitizing", and the obvious problem there is that the user can modify or bypass the scripts his browser is expected to run. It also reveals an inattention to best practices, so it's a reasonable assumption that the underlying database that input is put into is likewise poorly designed. This is how people pull off stuff like SQL injection attacks.

In other words, it's like anything else done by government: big, unwieldy, inefficient, overbudget, and most of all incompetent.

When she said that she made it obvious the website not working was deliberate. They want the taxes.  Plain and simple. So they did a bait and switch on their own base.  The economics are getting loony now (2 Million OZ of gold in 4 minutes traded yesterday to push the price down $20)  and they are desperate to kick this can.   They are finally unmasking themselves- either because circumstances are forcing them to, or because they think they are ready and we can no longer resist.

She has been proven right nearly 100% of the time.  She can be wild eyed and tell me I am going to hell because I am not Catholic and I will continue to read what she says because her track record for accurate predictions is pretty darn good.

This episode of creating a problem with no redress for grievances reminds me of something from last year, I think...
The Americans with Disabilities Act, either in its original form or as an updated act, required all pools to be fitted with a device which would provide access to the water. Every pool in America with public access. small hotel owners,  and others, lobbied to have the conditioned postponed, not even waived, because they couldn't either afford it by the deadline or there was along lead time due to demand.
POS fed screws said "tough tomatoes. Pay the fine." My first thought was "they just want to shake these people down"!

There are so many things going on right now, as. Oat here know and have pointed out, that the DoI just needs to be dusted off, not even updated.

... Sebelius and Steelers Chairman Dan Rooney were at an enrollment and education event on Thursday at Heinz Field to promote Healthcare.gov, but people who showed up encountered problems in signing up for coverage on the website.

... Sebelius ... told the audience of about 100 people that Healthcare.gov was “open for business.”

“Believe me, we had some early glitches,” said Sebelius, who was introduced by Rooney, a backer of the law. “But it's getting better every day.”

At the back of the room, it was a different story. About 20 people armed with laptops and certified by the government to sign up people for coverage were meeting with uninsured people, answering questions and fruitlessly trying to access the website.

LaKesha Lowry, 41, came to the event to find out about her health insurance options. But the North Side resident said she was not able to access the site, even with the help of a certified application counselor.

“It said, ‘Try again later,' ” Lowry said.

Asked about the ongoing problems with the website and the fact that people at a government enrollment event couldn't sign up, Sebelius told reporters that she didn't know what problems were affecting service at Heinz Field. The government has made hardware and software upgrades to improve the site, she said, and it is working for many people.

“We're working to ensure it's easy to use,” Sebelius said, noting that more than 13 million people have visited the site, an “extraordinary” level of traffic.

http://triblive.com/business/headlines/4855077-74/website-sebelius-health#axzz2hX7dRekO (http://triblive.com/business/headlines/4855077-74/website-sebelius-health#axzz2hX7dRekO)

An enormous stadium was opened, the event attracted only 100 people and the website wasn't working then either.  As far as the "13 million people" number goes, and I doubt the veracity of that, it's more likely there have been 13 million attempts to visit the site.

Well, I finally get it.  The website is nothing more than a data-vacuum, collecting personal profiles with all pertinent data right there in one convenient package, so it's working as planned ... at least for now.  It's also designed to prevent anybody from learning exactly how much the government intends to collect from those not entitled to subsidies; John Roberts was on the money; it's another enormous tax and redistribution scheme, because it certainly isn't medical insurance. 

With premiums skyrocketing, even on the least expensive "plan", the deductibles are astronomical, it's said up to $12,000 for a family before any "insurance" kicks in at all.  The creators have effectively done away with the benefit of Catastrophic Medical Insurance, which was a low premium, as well as the benefit of a high premium policy, which covered with very little out of pocket.

Small wonder Obongo won't waive the "individual requirement"; in order for this to work as planned, all the young and healthy need to be fleeced as well as anybody else from whom a dollar can be confiscated.

Not a surprise its not working.   Its a preview of single payer, and a part of bringing it in,  when the crisis makes that happen. 

This is going to get messy.

You can say that again, there will be a much larger need for medical assistance when the bullets start flying.

New, Improved Obamacare Program Released On 35 Floppy Disks


(http://o.onionstatic.com/images/23/23949/original/700.jpg?8131)
 (http://www.theonion.com/articles/new-improved-obamacare-program-released-on-35-flop,34294/)

WASHINGTON—Responding to widespread criticism regarding its health care website, the federal government today unveiled its new, improved Obamacare program, which allows Americans to purchase health insurance after installing a software bundle contained on 35 floppy disks. “I have heard the complaints about the existing website, and I can assure you that with this revised system, finding the right health care option for you and your family is as easy as loading 35 floppy disks sequentially into your disk drive and following the onscreen prompts,” President Obama told reporters this morning, explaining that the nearly three dozen 3.5-inch diskettes contain all the data needed for individuals to enroll in the Health Insurance Marketplace, while noting that the updated Obamacare software is mouse-compatible and requires a 386 Pentium processor with at least 8 MB of system RAM to function properly. “Just fire up MS-DOS, enter ‘A:\>dir *.exe’ into the command line, and then follow the instructions to install the Obamacare batch files—it should only take four or five hours at the most. You can press F1 for help if you run into any problems. And be sure your monitor’s screen resolution is at 320 x 200 or it might not display properly.” Obama added that the federal government hopes to have a six–CD-ROM version of the program available by 2016.

My American friends, you have to understand that CGI isn't really a software firm, but a clearing house or money laundering firm for the progs. 

The Canadian experience with this bunch would fill volumes, in fact there was an entire federal annual audit outlining their incompetence.. 

Essentially, they get government contracts, by greasing the liberals in power, then shovel money at anyone who will cover their back.  In the case of the Canadian gun registry, they ensured to was almost impossible to actually use, then the federal stormtroopers, used the mistakes created by the registry to criminalise gun owners and take away their license. 

The bugs weren't a mistake, but a feature of the registry.  They then used their maintenance income, to massively fund the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, to ensure, whenever their were complaints, they were poo-pooed by the top cops..  It was so bad, that the CACP's ethics advisor resigned in disgust.. 

Their political funding operations took a hit, when the Conservatives changed the rules for federal party funding and limited political donations to $1,100 per annum for anyone, and stopped corporate and union donations to any party.  However at a provincial level, corporations and unions can still donate, which explains why the Ontario liberals received massive donations from them, and then blew a billion dollars, on an e-health software program for the province, which didn't exist..

If I was an American, I would research their political funding in the US, be aware, they likely didn't make huge donations directly to the Dems, but worked through a third party, as they do in Canada, such as the Chiefs, cop unions etc..  Also, research ties to the Tides, Rockerfeller type groups.. 

Remember,  the problems are not a bug, but a feature of the system, just like the gun registry..

I've said elsewhere that the website wasn't supposed to work (as advertised).  What they have put together is a massive database of individual personal information, all in one comprehensive package, without having to comb through other government agencies for it.

They've *said* they want all the personal info entered first, when setting up the "account", so the "subsidies" can be factored into the premiums.  Sure.

Yup.  Excellent money quote Robins!  The DemonRats didn't have to do their due diligence here because it didn't matter, everybody who is anybody in the Democrat-Crony Complex got their cut, and they have the bureaucracy to blame for snafu's and Congress to bully for funds to clean the gigantic poopie diaper they made, WTF do they care about anything else?  As Hitlery would say "What difference does it make?"!

And God-forbid (I guess He did!) the GOPers do their due diligence is vetting the contract awardee or conduct timely oversight or legislative or legal action to combat it!

You can spell f**ked two different ways, each valid for their own reasons: d-e-m-o-c-r-a-t and r-e-p-u-b-l-i-c-a-n !

One interesting point about the liberal conceived gun registry was that in spite of the fact that it  failed and broke down with a regularity that you could set a watch by.. one part seemed to be very efficient..

In Canada, if you were a gun owner, you fell into a trap called 'continuous eligibility' in which your registry information was cross referenced every day against the criminal databases in Canada. 

If you were charged with a criminal offence, you could expect a call from the local police the next morning to seize your firearms.  Then the feminazi's became involved and any incidence of family disputes, was then sent to the local stormtroopers, with a followup seizure right sharply. 

I understand that the questionnaire regarding Bammy-care has questions regarding gun ownership, be advised, the part of the database, and the integration with the police database works very well.. 

Now, maybe I'm just tinfoiling a bit here, but I do know, that bammy wants universal background checks.. this would provide an excellent foundation for this.. and if its like the Canadian experience, it'll be done daily..   

ps. The Conservatives tossed the long gun registry, as such, at this point, it is my understanding that only owners of handguns are checked daily..

People like Mark Steyn warned us until they were blue in the face that socialized medicine is the holy grail of any country's Leftists. It is the anchor point that they can attach the entire socialist agenda to, like hanging ornaments on a Christmas tree. But we reached the point where enough of the voting base simply wants something "free", and even when it proves to be a disaster they still support it as long as it's hurting "the rich".

So here we are.

Also, everyone knows that we have a de facto gun registration database in the USA. Every time you fill out a Form 4473 that's the registry. My uncle sold a gun to a dealer, which the dealer later sold to someone who used it in a crime. The dealer never logged it into his books, so when it was recovered they traced it back to when my uncle had originally bought it at another shop. He had to meet with an ATF agent to give a statement as to the disposition of it, and he said the agent he met with had a stack of 4473s for every gun he had ever bought. So don't ever buy into the fiction that they aren't keeping a database of who has what.

Well here we are about twenty days into this mess and it's really starting to get interesting.

And I mean "interesting" in the sense of the Chinese backhanded blessing, "May you live in interesting times."

The Democrats in DC had an interesting meeting today with their spiritual leader and demigod Big Cheese in which it is almost certain that he told his sycophants that none of this 404Care stuff is his fault. And that they had top men working on the problem.

Top.

Men.

It has been reported (https://twitter.com/justkarl/status/393035681615720449) that the Democrats emerged from the worship service and promptly declared that the Republicans needed to help them fix it. More on that* below.

Also announced this evening is a now 6 week delay in the individual mandate. Or a 6 week extension to the sign up process. Not sure which and, frankly, it probably doesn't matter because if you believe what the IT people are saying, this thing cannot be fixed and it will take a lot longer than six weeks to repair the damage. If it can be repaired which most do not believe it can be.

I would say that we are seeing tonight the first of perhaps several as-yet-to-be-announced delays in the implementation of DumbassCare.

Meanwhile, millions of Americans with individual health insurance plans have received notices that their policies have been cancelled as mandated by the DumbassCare law. Fancy that.

But, hey...let's say that somehow by some miracle of software engineering the DumbassCare website is fixed. Totally fixed.

That would be good, right?

Well, not really.

There is still the issue of the actual "plan" and the laws of economics which, unlike DumbassCare, don't lend themselves to human intervention. The "plan" is predicated on the notion (and that's what it is) that the young and healthy will sign up for outrageously expensive health insurance that they currently do not need.

And this is where things really get "interesting" in the sort of way that I was hinting at above. You see, not only does the plan require the young, healthy (and stupid) to want a health insurance policy but they also have to be able to afford it. But...if my memory serves, and I think that it does, the administration has just spent the last five years thoroughly and purposefully  trashing the economy and this has resulted in record levels of unemployment. And those levels of unemployment (and impoverishment) have been especially harsh in the young person demographic. Hence...the very people that are needed to make DumbassCare work aren't working themselves.

And that is a textbook case of being too clever by half.

I find it very hard to believe that there is any scenario where the "death spiral" does not occur. And once it starts...perhaps as early as another two or three weeks...it cannot be stopped. As more of the "wrong" sort of people sign up the price of everyone's policies will necessarily get higher. This means that fewer of the "right" sort of people will sign up because it is no longer "affordable" (as if it ever was). And since the "right" people are needed to make everything work, without them, it doesn't and it can't.

So there we are. The Masters of the Universe, wrapped in their heavy cloak of hubris, are about to do the ultimate face plant.

Someday perhaps we will discover the truth. Probably not since, after all this time, no one has ever come clean about what happened in the Clinton White House. The one thing that is almost certainly true is that the ferret-faced chief advisor, Valerie Jarret will be at the center of it all.

*Just imagine the nerve it takes to demand that Republicans help the Democrats out of this mess...

1. The Republicans were totally shut out of the crafting of DumbassCare. I honestly don't remember but it is almost certain that there were some RINOs that actually wanted in on it.

2. No Republicans voted for DumbassCare. Why should they help fix what they did not create?

3. Some of the Republicans did try to kill this mess and they were soundly rebuffed and insulted (by Democrats, the media and the establishment GOP) for their efforts.

4. Perhaps worst of all, as mentioned earlier, there isn't really a fix so why take a swing at the tar baby? Just smile and walk on by while the Democrats just get further bound up in it.

5. And the insults just keep coming...today Dick Durbin claimed that some Republican personally insulted King Putt during the supposed negotiations of the shutdown. Again, why should anyone in their right mind get involved with this scum?

OMG, if this wasn't so serious, I'd be laffin' my ass off.  Talk about unintended consequences, yes, whereby the purported purpose of this takeover was supposed to provide insurance for the previously uninsured/uninsurable and is now causing massive numbers of people with no insurance.

If anything they will blame it on Romney because RomneyCare. Or they will blame it on the Heritage Society since somebody there once published a paper on the individual mandate and therefore they should be held responsible for thinking of it.

But...the longer this drags on the less of a chance a single payer system has of ever seeing the light of day.

First of all it will take a Democrat controlled congress to get that done. And even so...they just barely had the votes to pass it the first time even with breaking procedure in the Senate by using reconciliation. So what you would have to assume is that it would take more than a simple majority in congress to get single payer done...it would take an unprecedented amount of stupid.

But the larger issue is that this situation has the potential (despite massive media cheerleading) to debunk the notion that government can do anything well. Outside of the military. Although they are working to screw that up. But that's another issue.

No, there is a whole generation or two or three who are seeing that government run anything is one big f u c k u p. The media can't really paper over this because the stink is subliminal even if it isn't being broadcast. Take, as an example, what the admin is doing right out of the gate to "fix" the problem. The admin is employing a surge of private industry tech experts to clean up the mess. That is an admission, albeit not an overt one...that would be too much to ask...that government screwed this up and government can NOT fix it. Hence, we get Verizon and others involved in making it work now. The media should, of course, be leading the charge on this. They should be conducting an inquisition in public during prime time. But, since it's their boy genius who is at the head of this clown show, they aren't. But my point here is that the media doesn't have to do anything. This mess is so big and so deep and so horrible that it needs very little investigation or promotion at all for the public (yes, even the low intelligence voters) to see it for what it really is.

I just spent about a half hour skimming through the mental ward cesspool that is the dailykos and it sure is...well, annoying.

This is the land of the true believers, that's for sure. These people live in some kind of alternate reality where the DumbassCare website works and they are just thrilled with all of the new choices for vastly more expensive insurance. It's like there is some kind of contest going on over there to see who can get on the site, who can register and who can obtain some kind of insurance for bragging rights or something. You would think they are buying a car and are gonna hop in and drive the wheels off of the thing just as soon as the deal is done. I can just imagine one or two of them dropping by the doctor's office and demanding to be seen for no particular reason other than they now have overpriced insurance or something...like they are putting one over on the system...like they are "sticking it to the man."

"Infantile" about sums it up.

They are rabidly angry at anyone who is criticizing DumbassCare for anything at all. If someone bitches about having to go through the site about ten times because each time they would get to a certain point and it would, like a game of Snakes and Ladders, send them back to the beginning...well, that person is an ungrateful piece of sh*t 'cause now we have DumbassCare and it's wonderful and they should be grateful. And proud. Or something.

Meanwhile, over at the PuffHo...there are almost no posted articles at all about DumbassCare. I guess the PuffHo is taking the, "if you don't have something nice to say then don't say anything," attitude.

I'd say give them all a bit more time to stew in their own juices.

Those "Cadillac" plans they're always sniffing at (for those who can afford them, and pay for them) are what they have decreed for everyone through Obamacare.  We decry the State mandates because they all boost the cost of the insurance, yet here's Obamacare, with each and every policy covering maternity and "well-child" visits, for instance.  What the hell do single men and older women need with such coverage?  Errr, we don't and they know it; the point is to have us pay for them in order that the other half of the wealth redistribution network gets them for nothing or next-to.

Don't count on it......   It will be spun and it will spin.    And Republicans and conservatives will not be on top (and even if somehow Republicans did,  they would squander it away).   

Its part of the plan!   All the blame will be set on big insurance companies,  greedy CEO's and Republicans.   All the blame can easily be put on insurance companies since they are the ones charging the high prices.     It will be proof to the true believers and low info voters that the private sector cannot be trusted, even with tons of government oversight.     

Single payer is even MORE in play now,  believe it or not.    People ignore how terrible other "developed" countries single payers systems are.   They will ignore it in this case too.   We have decades of government incompetence already and yet people still want the government in control of something as important as healthcare.   In fact its one of their arguments for it.   Its too important for profits................   They may get single payer by merely passing price controls,  which will drive out private insurance companies by default.

Because every government screw up,,,, solution,,,,,,,,, IS MORE government.   Not the other way around.

And these douche bags have a big chance of retaking the House even with this "disaster".    Because some Republicans would rather be Democrat-lite or RINO's instead of embracing the reform of the tea party.

If Democrats retake the House,  single payer will be on the table in 2015-6.  Forget about getting the Senate in 2014.  We may have it in motion before Obama second term is up.

The only thing that surprises me is the speed of their plan.   I was thinking single payer would take at least a decade.   Maybe its a mistake that it going this fast,  and hopefully it's  achilles heel.  But this regime is arrogant enough to think it can get it done before Barry leaves the White House.   It will be a huge feather in his cap if he leaves office with single payer coming in.   

I hope to God you are right.   But we have gotten to this point via stupidity and why would it end?

The Latin found in the code is used by programmers (and web designers) is typically referred to as "Greeking." There are many uses for it, but in this case it appears to be random text generated for examples. This suggests to me that the programmers were doing a lot of copy and pasting from god only knows where and were too stupid and/or lazy to remove the unneeded text.  ::falldownshocked::

What's so frustrating is that nothing can penetrate this mindset that government can/should/will do this or that. No amount of examples of gross incompetence and inefficiency can dissuade these people from always wanting to put some new thing under government management. For these people it really is about nothing more than some perverse satisfaction that it's at least sh*tty for everyone else too, especially their designated enemies.
