adding femboy to my list of personal identifiers out of pure spite /jk

unfortunately there are "requisitions" that need to have "patient identifiers" and "the actual tests being ordered" and some bullshit like that

okay, here it is:

my understanding of what it means when we say "DIDs are self-authenticating identifiers"

let me know if i missed anything!

the muji card one was beyond even my very low expectations (credit card numbers leaked because they were used in plain text as user identifiers lol)

be safe, folks. Make sure to scrub all the identifiers if you salvage from a downed one.

The audit also turned up privacy lapses (identifiers and Prolific IDs in repositories), now remediated. Maybe we need something like dependabot to scan our repositories for potential privacy issues so these things don't go undetected.

Cis and trans are the clinical terms that serve as accurate identifiers whilst simultaneously preserving the dignity and identity of the subject.

Details, schmetails.

"The tool doesn’t have access to personal identifiers such as voters’ Social Security or driver’s license numbers or full dates of birth, which increases the potential for mismatches involving people with the same names."

HOW'D IT HAPPEN? And how often do people serving felony sentences cast ballots in #Oklahoma?

We learned in Sara Polston’s case, missing identifiers kept officials from matching her to a felony list.

So people develop shorthand for a lot of stuff including internal validation and it is incredibly rewarding to get good at discerning what should be an emotional priority

All this leads to shorthand language for emotionally important topics: slurs, memes, identifiers, etc

Had no idea this was going on. Will screenshot everything from now on.

Basically, while social media removes identifying metadata from images you upload, Meta apparently adds its own and it will follow you from one platform to another.

An excellent critique of OKF vs Emacs Org: "Unlike OKF, Org allows for stable identifiers to relate documents; Unlike OKF, Org allows for a predicate between identifiers: "A enhances B", "A explains B", "A is the data for B", "A refutes B." Unlike OKF, Org maintains provenance.

Text identifiers are horrible because the watermarks are frequency-based and changing the text breaks it entirely. There are attempts for non-printable unicode characters but those can get stripped, too.

Image watermarks break as soon as someone takes a screenshot, too.

deleted the post but listen y'all just because a term is a shortened version of an acceptable one doesn't mean it's not a slur. there are many slurs that are shortened versions of acceptable identifiers. If you use one unknowingly, the correct reaction is "shit my bad won't happen again"

Each entry in the Rosstat database has a unique identifier. It's based on consecutive numbers (within a registry - each registry gets its "numeric space" assigned). Identifiers are sometimes published in court docs. I found two for the same registry. No entries were added between them in the leak.

Part of this is being annoyed at having to break my flow when referencing, but it is absolutely wild to me how many large library journals do not have DOIs (digital object identifiers; kind of a permalink database for scholarly work so it’s not lost to the ephemeral nature of the internet).

Fun design review/demo today.

CEO was using bluetooth MAC addresses as *durable* hardware identifiers. I pointed out that some devices change their MAC address. “Anyway, moving on.”

… Moving on to the WiFi part of the demo where he was using a local IP address as the durable identifier…

Happy to share our @neuripsconf.bsky.social E&D Chem-PerturBridge: a harmonized resource of ~37k compounds, 136 cell contexts, and 1.25M Tx samples across 8 assays, with standardized identifiers, metadata, and replicate-aware condition-level effects.

I really doubt the radar feed itself would be down bc they are on a separate "channel" but the VOR navigation aids and their identifiers might be, and weather stations too.

What's this guy's name? Because I think I met someone in SF once who described himself as a black gay Jewish fascist. I assumed at least one of those identifiers was some kind of self-delusion.

mentioning is intentional, the fact alias apps falsely claim to be atmospheric despite their basis on the transient alias identifiers rather than the actual unique protocol ID, is another issue.
