- tptacek 3y agoUntil very recently, drivers license numbers were effectively public in a lot of states (they're deterministically generated from public information).
- fluidcruft 3y agoHey, that's pretty cool. I suppose I now know Ron DeSantis's drivers license number up to the last digit. And the soundex algorithm is cool (using fuzzy lookup in a list that way to get close/vague matches is novel to me and might be useful). I had heard of soundex but didn't know how it worked until now.
