Daughter #2 works for a company based in NYC that doesn't have their own offices, for the most part, so she uses WeWork 4-5 days a week. I had her aware of the rumor yesterday and the hope is that they can keep running in bankruptcy, but as most will know where, the majority of companies that initially declare bankruptcy are completely gone in five years (7 out of 10 was the figure I saw once).

This is something I have noticed as well. If I try to watch Netflix on the Roku, it wants me to pick a primary network, but I haven't done that yet and others in the family who live out of state can still watch it on their smartphones or laptops. Once they force a primary network to picked across all devices, then we will drop Netflix. They have been very, very clever in media relations to publicize all the new sign-ups, but they haven't dropped the other shoe yet that might cause cancellations. They are trying to publicize the sign-ups to get people to give up and get their own Netflix accounts and by the way, the cheapest ad-free version of Basic just got dropped, right before results were being announced this week.

We'll be dropping it in the next 15-20 days. My wife has wanted to get rid of it but we had family members using it. Now it's buh-bye.

The old dictionaries in the house - I better not throw those out.

While GoDaddy discovered the security breach following customer reports in early December 2022 that their sites were being used to redirect to random domains, the attackers had access to the company's network for multiple years. Doh!

Though in the old crowd, I am too young to have seen Art Linkletter, but I do know he used to occasionally ask kids who came on this show, "Now, what did your parents ask you not to talk about on the show tonight?" and of course the kids would open up and spill the beans about some family business the parents didn't want out in the public. Kudos to Kevin Liu and the same people setting up DAN in ChatGPT.

Polar_bear65 has at least one occurrence of upper-case, lower-case, numbers, and special characters (Microsoft's definition of strong password = at one occurrence of only three of those instances). This password is also 12 characters long, which is longer than the default of 8 characters for a "strong" password. You can argue that the password should be 14 or 16 or 20 characters long, but now you are asking for stickies on monitors or in desk drawers. My point is that I don't why they picked on "Polar_bear65" as a password. There are many ones worse than that one,.

Completely agreed. Elimination of cash means the government knows everything you are doing.

...by various analysts, including the un-conservative Nate Silver: "Some *very* quick analysis which suggests the claim here of rigged results in Wisconsin is probably BS: Run a regression on Wisc. counties with >=50K people, and you find that Clinton improved more in counties with only paper ballots. HOWEVER: the effect COMPLETELY DISAPPEARS once you control for race and education levels, the key factors in predicting vote shifts this year. Maybe a more complicated analysis would reveal something, but [it’s] usually bad news when a finding can’t survive a basic sanity check like this. Nothing in Pennsylvania, either, whether or not you control for demographics. And Michigan has paper ballots everywhere, so not even sure what claim is being made there."" https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FNateSilver...

I didn't realize how political it had gotten. The Wicked Witch of the West probably got a better write-up from them.

If State A has the worst voter fraud in the country, then the effects of said fraud are limited within their borders. If there is no electoral college, then the effects of fraudulent votes in State A for Candidate X is that they will now start cancelling out votes for Candidate Y in other states. LBJ would have loved nothing more than to get rid of the electoral college. Look at Virginia allowing felons to vote. Getting rid of the electoral college is a fool's errand.

Post of the day.

"You can switch to invisible mode at any time, which means for that specific drive: (1) you will appear as offline to your friends; (2) your Waze icon will show on the map; (3) you will not be able to send reports, add/edit places, or send messages to friends and other Wazers." #2 doesn't make any sense to me. Do I need Ron Weasley to snag me the invisibility cloak?

Krebs' latest post discusses that it's highly likely that this upload is fake.
