The last 4 digits of his SSN. The last 4 are often used as a default password for financial accounts and to verify identity over the phone. Along with the date of birth (dob). It's a bad idea that it's used so much for security, but it is. It's a good thing for scammers to have and asking for it and the dob in this context is a huge red flag.

He is seen briefly in the documentary about him. He definitely did not want the documentarian there filming him.

From the article: "Data engineers are the janitors who keep your data clean and flowing."

Hm, I wonder why he's having problems hiring janitors.

Article's title sure is misleading.

A better title would be "When skilled talent wants to be paid market rate, but can't get it without leaving".

Sounds great. When will we see reputable validation of their extraordinary claims?

"Paid $75k to Love a Brand on Instagram – Is It an Ad?"

If you are a public figure paid 1 cent to endorse a product, then it is an ad. If you fail to clearly disclose this ad identity and relationship then it is dishonest, possibly criminal.

Nothing more to discuss. This specific situation is vastly beyond any possible gray area.

They cite cost as the issue, that only 2600 users represent half of all comments on their entire system.

I don't know how much they are paying for a third party to manage their comment system, but I will bid $500/month to handle those 2600 users comprising half of all comments, or $1000/month for all comments. All inclusive bid. I can get this tiny number of users running on a pretty modest system.

My proposed system will also save money on subpoenas and moderation overhead by not storing ip addresses and not having paid moderation.

> If I remember correctly, Great Value Parmesan cheese was rated the worst (highest) level of wood pulp additives when tested vs other major brands.

I buy that brand too and recommend it. The label clearly lists cellulose among the ingredients and it has a legitimate function as a decaking agent. At 7.8%, it did not have the highest cellulose level in that study, though it was close. I've bought grated parmesan with low levels of cellulose, and some of it's more clumpy. However, it seems the 4% brands have the right mix. WalMart's doubling that does seem to be working as a cheap filler. The cheese in it is actually parmesan though. Much more interesting in that study though was that some brands such as Market Pantry, Always Save, and Best Choice all contained absolutely no parmesan cheese at all.

Buying a brick of hard parmesan and grating it oneself is by far the best way to go, but cheap bottled stuff that isn't too bad is more convenient for kids to work with.

Because she told them she did. Noor Mateen told the FBI she was with him when he bought ammunition and a holster and that she once drove him to the Pulse nightclub because he wanted to scope it out. She told federal agents she tried to talk her husband out of carrying out the attack against the nightclub.

Maybe the FBI should spend less time suing Apple and more time finding out where the wife of the Orlando shooter has disappeared to given she was proven to have assisted him with the crime and knew about it in advance.

The FBI might also do well to look into the mother of the San Bernardino shooters who lived with them in a house full of bombs and guns and yet somehow never had any idea what was going on.

These seem better leads than this constant obsession with searching everyone's phones.

Yes, also Niantic's founder John Hanke has an actual documented history of CIA funding. It's not unreasonable paranoia for nations to suspect this may be an absolutely brilliant trojan horse especially given the data it collects and the access permissions it requires on some devices.

Exactly so. The above is clearly a PR campaign.
