     @mattblaze @negative12dollarbill That's what public education is. Meh. I've taught trig and computer science. I even taught calculus to non-math majors as a TA. Talk about things people could abuse.

     @negative12dollarbill I believe that widely providing accurate information about important matters of public concern is a net positive, even if bad actors also have access to that information.

     It was a great program, and we're proud of every talk, but here are a few highlights of general interest.

     I kicked us off with a general overview of the technical problems (and solutions) in making elections trustworthy.

     @steter @negative12dollarbill Every chemistry teacher is enabling future drug dealers and terrorists, by this logic.

     @mattblaze @negative12dollarbill A lab instructor warned us that he wasn't going to put up with any of us setting off a bomb in a sink, like someone had the semester before.
