Curiosity is killing my cat here. How are we supposed to know when your freshman year of college was? Was it a year ago, 8?

About thirteen years ago

Well, when you visit it https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=7/23.765/-87.100 there's no naming of that area at all. At least when looked at from a US IP. And when you search "Gulf of America" it returns "Gulf of Mexico". So take from that what you will.


Also https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=8/43.622/-78.852 shows "Lake Ontario". But it does carry the tag "official_name:en-US": "Lake America", so search will find Lake America and a mapping app could decide to show the official name

Though generally official names are the names nobody uses. For example the country labeled "France" also has the attribute "official_name:en": "French Republic"


Had a problem this week helping a customer troubleshoot some SAML interactions. They couldn't install SAML Tracer in their environment and I got tired of digging through HAR files and manually decoding SAML assertions and the like so I made https://hartosaml.com/.

Just drop in your HAR file and get immediate insights into the SAML related events.


Sure. I bet the Military Times also used the IRCG as a source. https://www.militarytimes.com/industry/techwatch/2026/08/04/...

Probably Reuters too https://www.reuters.com/world/us-has-used-virtually-all-its-...


The CNBC article's source is "as reported by Reuters", and the Military Times article is just a reprint of the Reuters Article, if you look, immediately under the headline it states "By Reuters".

So there is only one news outlet reporting on it, Reuters, and the rest are just reporting on the reporting.


Hey, you did more validation than the guy I was responding to! Kudos.


Thanks, but I got downvoted, anyway. Oh well, the karma burn was worth it!
