Not heavy at all, they're really tiny in the grand scale of things and can easily run on CPU only unless you're wanna classify 100s of items per second.
Other people have mentioned this… but it’s been established in policy that the SSN of a deceased person is not PII. There are a ton of different ways to get the SSN of someone who is deceased.
They aren't "public" but if you have a good reason, the govt will let you see the list of dead people SSNs. It's one of the first things checked when you're trying to open a line of credit because it's so easy to verify.
Now I’m wondering how many other people in this thread don’t know he died (pancreatic cancer). 59 isn’t that old. And he was expecting a baby at the time, which suggests maybe they didnt think so either.
Him, probably not. His estate, however, potentially. Perhaps one could get a loan, using his SSN, and his estate gets the bill and subsequent harassment.
SSNs make terrible secrets and it's insane that you could harm a live person by knowing their SSN. I doubt that insanity stops just because you're dead.
> I doubt that insanity stops just because you're dead.
It really does stop. What can you do with someone’s SSN? Get loans, open bank accounts, receive government benefits, set up utilities, etc. It harms someone because creditors falsely believe that the SSN’s holder owes the debt, or the government believes that the SSN’s holder received benefits, etc.
People who are falsely reported as dead have a difficult time doing anything… certainly a hard time getting loans. It’s certainly going to be hard to make a claim against an estate that’s been closed for a couple years, with a debt that is dated after that person’s death.
Well, it might show if you've been reported to have died. It's possible you were reported as dead but you're still alive. It's possible you weren't reported dead but are. And it's also possible that regardless of how you were reported, the credit agency will botch the lookup and report your dead-or-alive status wrong.
Given the amount of erroneous information in credit files, I wouldn't be surprised if the above scenarios happen regularly.
But they clearly left the year visible so blocking out the AUSA's name seems dumb too as it wouldn't be hard to look up who were the AUSAs to narrow down who was named in the file.
Got mine in today (Surface Pro 11th Gen). Overall a big meh. Performance was okay, Battery life was okay. Returning mine due to Microsoft's lackluster Surface line being the actual worst machine I've used in years. Most things ran aside from Persona 5 for some reason.
You can also just directly connect to containers using Tailscale if it's just for internal use. That is, having an internally addressable `https://container_name` on your tailnet per-container if you want. This way I can setup Immich for example and it's just on my tailnet at `https://immich` without the need for a reverse proxy, etc...
I think this is pretty neat. Even if you don’t use it for a SaaS company I think it’s great to try your hand at making a known product.
This may also be something fun for late-college-students to do in order to brush up on their skills and to dive deep into tech that they may use in the future.
Thanks, yes it's definitely not meant to be a product, I just made it because I had lots of questions about how S3 worked under the hood. I'm still finishing the documentation but a college student could just follow the commands line by line and they should end up with the same system, it wasn't easy to get running

>Unsure how I feel about TechCrunch just summarizing another source's article like this.
Do you just feel that way about Techcrunch or in general? Because that behaviour is blatant amongst news outlets, they report on each other's stories all. the. time.
