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.

As the person who broke both the Nvidia bad bumps story and their ousting from Apple, I can say with authority that the real reason Nvidia is out is the patent trolling rampage they tried to start. I wrote some of it up, a bit blurred to protect friends, here:

The bad bumps were a big blow but that was just money. The patent trolling threats were a deal breaker for Apple and many other silicon vendors. Go look up the Nvidia vs Qualcomm and Samsung suits for more but the company is not wanted anywhere in the ecosystem. Some HAVE to use them but no one wants to.

There is no universally accepted definition for SUV, particularly across country boundaries. The only real differentiator seems to be available 4-wheel drive. Assuming the Ioniq 5 is the AWD versions and not the RWD ones, I guess it fits the most basic definition.

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.

You havenâ(TM)t been online dating have you? Believe me, women are incredibly choosy, even if they have no ability to realistically be so.

Iâ(TM)ll never get married again. Iâ(TM)m paying out a significant amount in alimony, child support, lost my house, incurred significant debt due to my ex stealing and hiding assets in preparation for divorce, lost 70K in legal fees to no positive outcome, have no cash while she will be flush with it from QRDOs.

Who the fuck thinks they should ever do this shit again? Seriously; why?

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).

An interesting take, to be sure. I don't see it, at all, but maybe others will. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Flive%2FU...

I have been using GCP/BQ heavily for 7+ years now and we're GCP native at my current company for nearly 5 years.

Google's penchant for deprecating products is a constant worry for me, particularly our insane reliance on BQ. While BQ StandardSQL is close enough, lifting and shifting to something like AWS or Azure's cloud warehouse tooling would definitely be a headache.

That said, with their deep integration w/GA4 reporting and continued development of BQ, I am guessing they make enough money (particularly after their 25% price increase for on-demand) that it'll stay around for another few years.

Fingers crossed because, honestly, I don't want to have to deal with management of our warehouse and BQ makes it easy for us not to worry about that at all.

The official app only allows you to block 1000 accounts. On a site with millions of users. They don't tell you clearly that's the reason; the app just gives an arbitrary error message in 99% of cases.

That's shitty design and operation intended to stop you from blocking all of their advertisers.

Where is the money going?

Unnecessary layers of process complexity and upper management/C-level bonuses.

Apparently I don't know how to post links anymore. Here's what it was supposed to say: under the EU's regulatory microscope.

Well, Adobe is trying to purchase Figma but is running into regulatory concerns. Their entire reason for making this free to students is to hopefully drown out the negative attention from it being .

That said, Figma is not intended to be an Adobe replacement. Adobe is attempting to buy it to bring it into the fold so that they have a more robust collaborative UI design toolkit.
