I love this entire story so very deeply. https://twitter.com/ctrlshifti/status/1306024911622742022

This is how it STARTS and it stays this level of delightful throughout!

I LOVE THIS PERSON.

I need to just make a running list of quotes from this that I will now be using in my daily life.

This is so ridiculously similar to my process whenever I decide to test if a "deidentified" data set is actually deidentified (spoiler: almost always, it is not if you are a person inclined to creative Googling).

I am so happy.

I am actually crying.

MUST WE, THO

Extreme.

Ok, this is very much realistically and actually how I frequently crack "deidentified" information.

My next COVID project is going to be completing an elaborate and likely framed artwork saying "it is I, your
well-meaning but ultimately incompetent protagonist."

(it will hang over my desk and provide daily inspiration)

Presented to you without additional comment:

That's about right.

A challenger appears.

The accuracy here is astounding and I would like to make a formal motion to be allowed to describe legal and computery things thusly from now on instead of being super formal with terms like "thusly."

I feel like I am being hugely roasted as a lawyer in this and yet I deeply love it?

Always.

You go, journalists, I support you and your weird and ruthlessly efficient ideas.

Gawd, I relate.

ANYWAY, read the whole thing because it's great and also, seriously, don't post pics of your boarding passes, it is a very bad idea.
