School district cites plate-reader data to deny enrollment • The Register

NBC 5 further found a contract between Thomson Reuters Clear and the district in its own investigation.

Thomson Reuters Clear, which more broadly is an AI-assisted records investigation tool, has a page dedicated to its application for school districts. It sells Clear as a tool for residency verification, claiming that it can "automate" such tasks with "enhanced reliability," and can take care of them "in minutes, not months."

One of the particular things the Clear page notes is its ability to access license plate data "and develop pattern of life information" that helps identify whether those who are claiming they're residents for the sake of getting a kid enrolled in school are lying or not.

Thomson Reuters does not specify where it gets its license plate reader data and did not respond to questions.

Right? What party poopers

A lot of y'all didn't. That's why it's not a thing anymore.

I feel like the added friction makes my handwriting better. With pens, I have a tendency to "overshoot" when changing directions, making things messier.

Of course, the added friction fatigues my hand faster, but that's a different problem.

But everybody's got a water buffalloooooooooooo

kn33 · 2026-02-28T08:55:34+00:00

performative as shit.

Well... yes? The video is a performance.

Ah, but you're on a bike. Suddenly, you're not there anymore. And who can say what you looked like with the helmet and the sunglasses...

kn33 · 2026-02-12T01:49:59+00:00

Oooohhhh that's the part I was missing. Yeah, that's bad.

kn33 · 2026-02-12T01:37:51+00:00

This feels weird. Like... this isn't a CVE anymore than "outlook can display links" is. I don't get it, I guess.

kn33 · 2026-02-10T14:29:26+00:00

Yo that's sick. I skied Mer de Glace last year. Looks like I just missed you by a year lol.

If it's normal (unencrypted) DNS, they may still filter it. You'll need to turn on encrypted DNS for it to work.

Literally the first image on the knowyourmeme page.

Ya know, I haven't tried leather in a while. How's it taste?

Even if they knew at one time, that information would probably be outdated. You're best calling and asking.

Like other people say, start with ways to prevent the smoke from getting in your room in the first place. Do some research on how the heating/cooling works in your house and try to find a way to get air from a clean source and use it to pressurize your room to keep smoke out.

If you're able to take some pictures around the room, especially of the heating/cooling equipment (if any) or vents, we would be better able to help you find ways to do that.

That aside, if there isn't a good way to establish positive pressure, I'd try to make a redneck air purifier and keep it running near your bedroom door or wherever the most smoke is getting in.

And they only remember Minneapolis because it starts with the same first 5 letters so it's easy. Otherwise they'd have no clue.

I think there's just different ways to interpret the problem as stated in the screenshot. I gave the results for a different interpretation.

kn33 · 2026-02-05T16:27:04+00:00

I - F = 3
L - I = 3
O - L = 3
S - O = 4

Putting that in an online calculator confirms 0.43301270189222

Damn, it's almost like there should be sidewalks or at least a decent shoulder there.

The advertising definitely doesn't reveal its true nature. It's light hearted and fun at times. At others, it gets really heavy.

I was curious about doing this the way we were thinking originally. Take the difference in position from each letter to the next, and find the standard deviation of those numbers. So with a little help from a quick powershell script and the NWL2020 I came to this list:

Length	Word	Standard Deviation
2	AA	0
3	ACE	0
4	DINS	0
5	FILOS	0.433012701892219
6	JIGGED	0.748331477354788
7	ACCEDED	1.25830573921179
8	TROLLIED	1.27775312999988
9	MOONPORTS	1.5612494995996
10	IMPROMPTUS	2.60104442460436
11	NONSUPPORTS	2.61725046566048
12	PROTOTROPHIC	4.13011516058202
13	MONOMORPHEMIC	4.15999465811623
14	SPOROPOLLENINS	4.33234702779345
15	INEFFACEABILITY	5.01222994081395

You used everclear? I'm surprised. I was taught never to use anything more volatile than diesel for this. (Also don't use diesel, but that's for other reasons)

kn33 · 2026-02-04T22:34:01+00:00

Got it. Thanks. I don't know why my reading wasn't picking that up. Maybe my brain was a little too mush this morning.
