eDiscovery guy. I've read your emails and saw the porn you sent to the guy down the hall. By the way, you can't hide the contacts you're about to take before you quit in someone else's documents folder asshat.
tl:dr - brains are weird man There's a tremendous episode of Radiolab called Fault Line that talks about the effect of a total resection of the Amygdala. It worked out very poorly. I heard it weeks before I was…
Former epileptic, I've had dozens of MRs and CTs. It's rote for me to see and I never had a visceral reaction and in fact I find it pretty fascinating. The one that I do have that's a standout and quite shocking is my…
tl;dr my dealer had my car for a week to diagnose an intermittent electrical gremlin. My maddening intermittent electrical gremlin was with my new to me Mazda3. Occasionally and randomly after in the first few months I…
First time I've seen that sketch, but it looks like Popular Science lifted it directly for an article from the 80's that I remember distinctly about Project Aurora.
Having never seen the guts of one before I was surprised to see the difference in wire gauge between the high and low sides of the transformer. In my mind the only difference between the two sides was the number of…
For more info on the city stairs that are mapped as streets, Laura Zurowski walked all 739+ and documented with Polaroids and wrote a vignette inspired by each. Lovely writing style and she did a great job of capturing…
There's A LOT more traffic across the Fern Hollow bridge than if the end destination were a couple of thousand homes. Average daily traffic ca. 2005 was 14.5k vehicles including transit bus routes with articulated buses…
Salto coffee? I visited several years ago in the dead of winter and a hot drink and a snack was nearly as memorable as the carousel.
Google Photos does it for you. Very handy a few years ago, I took a picture of the private wifi password backstage at a bar I used to work at, lost the saved login when I swapped phones. Searched my photos for…
Isn't that a bit apples v oranges? I've had a MEG and I'm floored by the technology but would a better analog be a PET? We're looking for two different things, metabolism v saturation but it seems like they're both in…
739 officially documented. Laura Zurowski is on a project to visit them all and pairs lovely prose with her trips on IG. https://mis-steps.com/
As a Windows guy case still seems like a weird thing to worry about.
Reminds me of the time I watched a coworker's head explode when he tried to extract an archive (from a 'Nix environment) on his Windows machine and was indignant about getting duplicate filename errors.
In e-Discovery our metadata is exchanged in csv format almost exclusively with one caveat, the defacto delimiters are Pilcrow and Thorn. We've solved the quote/comma in data problem, but as soon as we start mixing…
I had a great one today. I got a load file in (e-discovery world) that had my sent/rev'd/sort dates in "mm.dd.yyyy hh:mm" while my created and modified dates were "dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm". I can't fathom what piece of…
This takes me back to working in a few (slowly going to way of the buffalo) "professional" or "big" studios. Both of the A studios I worked in had a big set of Genelecs in the bulkhead and two or three more mid and near…
At the time I was a sound guy and was regularly out 'till 2:00am+, drinking the whole time and back up for work at ~8:00. You clearly know how that changed. I still went out, both of my local spots had good N/A beers…
This came up for me a few years ago when I was filling out a job application. At the voluntary self disclosure stage it listed epilepsy among the list and it stopped me in my tracks. A few brain surgeries later and I'm…
This spring, unsurprisingly, I started spending a larger than normal portion of my time in the woods. I brought an uncomfortable number of (deer) ticks home in the spring and again in recent weeks. This is every bit or…
I've heard several second hand stories of people dumpster diving and after some investment of time and money winding up with at worst, serviceable instruments. Any experience with that? I went in for the first time in…
Have you had any eDiscovery experience in the past? I was an analyst for 15 years and AI is really coming on strong now. I've seen, in my job search, a few places where a JD coupled with a little CS knowledge could be…
My stomach dropped when I saw the thread and checked in with my pal at ATG. She's safe but half of her department (mapping) is gone.
In a similar vein, I worked (eg: interned) at a few recording studios in my 20s. Most tracking in both was done to a 2" 24tk analog tape deck and the majority of post and mixing was all done digitally. I don't know what…
Does anybody regularly use Acrobat's text extraction engine? I've had fine results as far as accuracy goes when compared to other OCR engines but one sticking point drives me nuts. My problem is, and I'm typically doing…
With the knowledge that A&P mechanics (air frame and powerplant) are required to shadow their tools in their boxes (filling the drawers with foam and plucking a distinct home for every tool to make confirmation that all…
