I think it could be easily 30-40 million but I doubt 100 million figures.

From 2024 Census Bureau,
"April 9, 2024 — From 2010 to 2022, the nation’s foreign-born population increased by 15.6%. According to a new report The Foreign-Born Population in the United States: 2022 released by the U.S. Census Bureau today, the foreign-born population was 46.2 million (13.9% of the total population) in 2022 compared to 40.0 million (12.9% of the total population) in 2010."

So add in mebbe 20-30 million illegals to that total.

Not that I have any clue how location would be gotten myself, I'd think it would be just an ISP#, then if the feds were sufficiently motivated they could then go to the internet providers with a warrant to find out who was using that ISP#.

132 How useful would it be to ask it to try to teach someone who has never written (functional) code before how to start?
Posted by: XTC

Plenty of resources out there to teach you to code for free if you want it. Start with an easy language and work your way up.

Open Source Python is often one language that teaches useful concepts. MariaDB is a useful SQL derivative that can teach you key database operations. Start with something that is massive but free like FEC campaign contribution databases. Then play around with them.

Learning R gives you some stats programming ability.

Easiest way to do it on the cheap is find a linux distribution (free to download) do live sessions with a live disc or usb, and run the various free compilers on that linux distro for your coding. R and Maria would require putting those also on the live CD/USB. Lots of free programming lessons/resources in Linux world. And Linux nowadays is a piece of cake to run compared with decades ago.

Reaching the point where Windows 11 is getting more troublesome to maintain than a Linux machine unless you gotta have Office 365 or certain windows only programs.

Bad things about Python: they keep breaking old code with new syntaxes and features. Maybe only half the code samples you find online will compile as is, because they were obsoleted so fast.

Databrokers have to respond by deleting a lot of that information upon request. Google, for example, has a removal request from its search database of links for example. You can use several info removal firms either by paying or in the case of Optery, you can find out who has what for free and manually request deletion, Privacy Bee just tells you who has your data. Both have paid removal functions as well where they act on your behalf to remove the data and keep it removed during the subscription time.

Depends on the state. But in some states, all you need is a license plate number and you can pull up all the registration info, including owner, VIN, etc.

You might need a subscription to a DMV service, but you'd be shocked how much private info you can find and it's all legal to get.

Because the exclusionary rule remedy only applies if they use the evidence in court, not for investigations.

British though have a system where the coppers themselves, if they violate the law, can be sued or charged themselves on issues like trespass. Better by far than the exclusionary rule which the US is the main proponent of. Most jurisdictions lean more to the British model, than the US.

Spygate was 2007 timeframe when Belichick had his assistants videotape a Jets practice (which is technically against the rules)… the NFL subsequently intentionally destroyed the tapes so no one ever got to look at them… 2014 deflategate Tom Brady had some get let some air out of the balls to make them easier to throw but the big scandal is he subsequently lied to Goodell about it…. Both were full of sound and fury signifying nothing

Stranger Things had this problem in spades. It was supposed to end after season one (El and the monster were supposed to be tied together) but Netflix decided they wanted more seasons so they got them. But...the writers didn't really know where they wanted to go from there.

They got lucky with some really, really good child actors and 80s nostalgia but...by the 5th season they brought in a bunch of meh actors and dumped any pretense the show was really set in the 80s.

249 Apparently all you need is to be a teenage girl that can fake a German Accent that sounds like the main staff assistant at the police dept, and call into the PD IT dept.

Don’t know about police departments, but I’m pretty sure a good percentage of the compromised accounts at the university I used to work for were from leveraging the help desk. At one point, they even had a database of passwords for one of the services, and would give out the existing password. So if it was a hack, the real user wouldn’t even necessarily know.

A couple of us managed to end that practice as soon as we found out about it, but other less obvious issues remained unresolved when I left. Insecurity questions were likely a major attack vector, since their entire purpose is to enable accessing an account without knowing the password.

It's just a fake scam. They can spoof the number to make it look like it's from StopICE.

Think this through. If they’re texting people who’ve actually given the site their number, it means they have access to the user data.

Well here’s hoping we don’t get night of long knives’ed but that’s probably the way is going. Call your senators daily demanding the abolition of ice or it’ll be our heads.

What a depressing way to start the day. If you were just on the site viewing things then you are fine. People actually uploading licenses plates and locations are breaking federal law and they are currently looking to throw the book at people, so I would be worried.

Oh no the gov knows i know ICE is made of illegal criminals who will have to hide for the rest of their lives because of the crimes they've committed.

Hackers took over the website, took all the user data and sent it to law enforcement. whoever is on here saying to not worry is wild.

Get your credit frozen at all three credit reporting services is my recommendation. You can always unthaw it briefly for loans and then refreeze it.

It is also relatively easy to contaminate databases by using various names for yourself, alias emails, lies on matters like birthdays on websites, etc. If they want data they shouldn't have to buy something, then feel free to lie away to screw with their resale of your data.

Using a glyph like the artist previously known as Prince would be a big database breaker. And you see some of those illegal characters used in voter registration databases on purpose so a routine query won't winkle them out.

IN interwar Germany the establishment right was unable to stop leftwing street violence and the establishment left generally helped their farther left brethren.

This led to the NAZIs/SA being one of the few groups willing and able to rumble back and brought them some measure of popularity.

The left often brings this up in disparaging appeals to law and order but honestly the lesson everyone should learn is allowing street violence will always lead to bad things even if you think it helps your party in the short term and the FNM sure isn't going to go talk to Democrat Pols about that...

The actress that played Robin decided her character was gay, and forced them to change the script to make her gay. Had she not, that could have been a really interesting love square. Instead we got her making out with a candy striper nurse in a closet.

And yes, the Duffer Brothers compromising on a streamlined vision in order to print more Netflix cash didn't help. I will say, the fourth season is my favorite!

305 298 And yes, the Duffer Brothers compromising on a streamlined vision in order to print more Netflix cash didn't help. I will say, the fourth season is my favorite! They made all the superfluous side characters actually have purpose and their own arcs. Tied things back together, only to mess it up again in season 5.

It had just gotten boring.

By season 5 though it felt like the show was set in 2025.

One of the very weak points of the Captain America movie was him explaining why he wants to fight Nazis (and not Japanese??): he doesn't like bullies. That's like saying you oppose rape because its rude.

Apparently the UK police have tech now that lets you access everything on a phone without needing the person's password.

So you can get arrested for mean tweets, and then the police don't even need a warrant to access your phone.

Same here. I thought the premise of Season 3 was pretty weak and it was hard to suspend my disbelief that a Soviet spybase was located under a U.S. shopping mall--staffed by Soviet soldiers who didn't speak English.

if the app has permissions on the phone, it can read location information from the hardware and do what it likes with it. If it saves the info in local storage it could be read by the hacker and saved.

Posted by: Fen at January 30, 2026 03:51 PM (ciYHQ)

328 IN interwar Germany the establishment right was unable to stop leftwing street violence and the establishment left generally helped their farther left brethren.

This led to the NAZIs/SA being one of the few groups willing and able to rumble back and brought them some measure of popularity.

The left often brings this up in disparaging appeals to law and order but honestly the lesson everyone should learn is allowing street violence will always lead to bad things even if you think it helps your party in the short term and the FNM sure isn't going to go talk to Democrat Pols about that...
Posted by: 18-1 at January 30, 2026 03:39 PM (sKqQm)

The Nazis were leftist street thugs, they just weren't Communist ones. They profited by the fact that more people were anti-communist and that even Communists were just in competition. When the communist thugs were crushed, most of the rank and file just became Nazi brownshirts with little problem.
