Comment Re:Cannot wait... (Score 3, Informative) 159

I used to screen scrape jail registry records for county jails in my home area. Though the IDs weren't exactly sequential, doing groups of 50 would get hits for two of the local counties.

What I found was that, while the website UI wouldn't show juvenile records, you could access them directly w/the ID. Surfacing it to the county took a day or so to find the right person but they quickly closed that hole, but who knows how many records were handed out to malicious actors over the years before I found it.

Comment Re:If you want to survive a PIP (Score 3, Interesting) 196

In my experience, PIPs are NEVER intended to be a tool to help you; they're intended to help the company find reasons to fire you.

Use the 90 days to find a new job; not try and pass the arbitrary/impossible to meet requirements.

Plus, once you've been put on a PIP, do you really want to continue working for a company that was literally trying to create documentation to fire you?

No; you don't.

My ex-wife stole ~$300K from me preparing for a divorce. It was up to me, the person who made the money, not the person who pfilered it, to prove she did so and it would have cost at least 1/3 of the money and the likelihood I could prove to the court it had been done, even though it was blatantly obvious what she did to be near 0.

The legal system is absolutely fucked and it needs to be changed.

I honestly want someone from Apple to explain to me why Chinese knockoffs smart watches allow notifications to go to my phone and my watch simultaneously as well as last >10 days on a charge, yet my supposedly superior Apple Watch (at 4x the cost) lasts barely a day and doesnâ(TM)t allow for this.

The only reason I use the Apple Watch instead is because my cheap Chinese knockoff for $27 didnâ(TM)t track swimming.

Ridiculous.

Why do you call Elon a fuckwad? Because he doesn't agree with regime changing every nation that refuses to become JUSA's little bitch?

Or maybe it's because Elon doesn't think JUSA should be bombing the crap out of brown people villages in the Middle East just to get more oil or satisfy the zionists in AIPAC that buy the JUSA Congress every year.

Of course you probably think that all that regime changing and coup instigating and brown people village bombing is all so that we can spread DEMOCRACY and FREEDOM to these unwashed heathens. That's what the unforunate citizens of JUSA are propagandized to believe. JUSA = the greatest superpower of propaganda and brainwashing in the history of the universe.

Elon is just calling a spade a spade. When the JUSA bombs the shit out of some poor Slavic country or some Muslim country and kill a few million people and call it DEMOCRACY, and you keep believing this propaganda coming out of your CNN or BezosPost or whatever, well I'm sorry but you're just a mindless brainwashed zombie. As unfortunately most American are.

Comment Depression/mental illness figured out already (Score 2) 47

I'm sure the people who research this stuff to earn a living will vigorously disagree, and big pharma will also. But what causes depression and other mental illness has been pretty much all figured out. And we know how to cure it (or at least prevent it)

In hunter gatherer societies (there were still quite a few in existence as recently as the 20th century) the incidence of depression and mental illness is zero. Suicides are zero. Seriously. Let that sink in.

For 2 million years of our existence, humans spent 99% of their time outdoors (except for the time spent sleeping, maybe in a cave). For 2 million years humans did physical labor, every day, all day, such as hunting (which involved lots of running) or foraging for food. No one sat around being sedentary doing soul-crushing bullshit spreadsheets and attending pointless idiotic meetings.

The further you get away from this 2 million years of ingrained evolutionary physiology, higher the rate of mental illness and suicides.

In countries outside of the USA, where big pharma does not own the entire government as they do in the USA, they did some studies and found out, making people exercise had a dramatic reduction in depression. Spending more time in the great outdoors had a dramatic reduction in depression. And believe it or not, fasting (not eating food for a few days) had a dramatic reduction in depression.

The first two most people will grasp, but the 3rd one (fasting) is a bit of a head-scratcher. But not really. For 2 million years people were hunter-gathers. There would've been times of plenty of food and times of scacity. Our bodies are exquisitely adapted and evolved to store food during good times (by converting excess food into body fat) and survive the lean times by using up the stored fat. By not using this mechanism, and just build up body fat store and keep building it and building it and never ever using it (which is what most Americans do), your body cries out in protest. It's a huge imbalance. You are MEANT to burn fat for survival once in a while. You are not meant to stuff your fact 6 times a day, every day, 365 times a year. (The average American eats 6.3 times a day). Fasting is not just something religious fanatics used to do 2000 years ago. It's actually something that every human needs to do to, at least once in a while, because our bodies have 2 million years of evolutionary pressure to do this.

Comment Re:I've never been on LinkedIn (Score 4, Informative) 161

I found my most recent three jobs on LI; it *had* been a great place for finding new places to work. In the meantime, however, particularly after the MSFT takeover, it has been absolutely insufferable to use. The ads have gone up, the quality of postings have apparently gone down, and the qualIty of job listings have as well.

I found that if you unfollow EVERYONE in your contacts, it doesn't show ANYTHING to you, especially ads, but you still have access to find jobs--if they exist (I am not looking).

Comment That's relatable (Score 1) 85

I was a child prodigy who skipped a grade, not dissimilar to Sheldon Cooper, except I was better socialized, and excelled at athletics and was a leader in the Boy Scouts.

I had a real problem getting to sleep at night and waking up in the morning. I would read in bed until late at night and be late in the morning.

At some point in my early 20's I experienced a period of unemployment, and at my doctors advice I started tracking my sleep. We determined that I had a 27 hour biological clock. He said it was unusual, but happened to some people, mostly young men, and that I would grow out of it as I got older. Which didn't really happen, but kind of happened. I have a 24 hour clock but I only sleep 6 hours a night, sometimes less.
