Friend of mine works for the "daycare" for elderly. Medicare fraud is rampant. People finding all kinds of ways trick the system for easy money. Recently her employer got a visit from law enforcement for fraud investigation and few other places around run into similar issues.
It used to be opiod rehab back in the 2010s. There were companies that went from 2M operations to ~100M in about 3 years. That's unheard of in the services industry. I would almost call it ARR because people were getting sucked right back into recovery and govt would still pay.
If there is a contract between DigiCert & Alegeus Technologies, stating that DigiCert could potentially revoke contracts within 24h and Alegeus client contracts state that clients have more than 24h to deal with expired certs, then I feel like it's Alegeus problem, who over-promised to their clients and should have carefully read their contracts.
More to the point, Alegeus should have a system in place that can re-issue certificates within 24 hours since that is the timetable that their registrar works under.
The lawsuit smells like them trying to buy time to fix their IT problems. Even if it loses or gets tossed out all they needed was that preliminary injunction. It's really sucky for DigiCert who have to choose which party to anger, the courts or the browser manufacturers, just because this healthcare company doesn't have its act together.

You should have more concerns than that - there is a good chance that this will get blocked by the Supreme Court given some of their other recent jurisprudence around regulatory authority.
I was going to say, Dave did a great job covering the issue, despite the fact that he hasn't worked on Windows kernel for a lot time (10y+, if not for 20y+).
But in general, there is a lot of "parroting" going on from people who know very little or specialists in this field.
former Governor Phil Bryant signed docs to allocate those funds. Plain and simple. He claims ignorance. It wasn't a pocket change, he should have been aware of what he was signing and where those funds came from. It is plain corruption and he is trying to get back at the journalists for exposing his corruption.
I saw the interview with the former official who filed the lawsuit. He claims that he is not doing this in spite, but only because his name been dragged into it. He signed the funding !!!
> is it illegal to carry any type of blade in public ?
My impression from what I have seen through the years in the news (I live in the US), this is the case. I remember seeing London police would setup check points in the metro and check passengers for knifes. To my surprise, most common weapons they would find - kitchen knives.
My interviews in the decade before the rise of leetcode, were algorithmic questions very similar to leetcode. Surprise !!!!
I think people are crying way too much about leetcode.
I haven't had to be an interviewee in 6+ years, but I can understand why people are upset. Competing with other applicants who spend dozens of hours per week memorizing leetcode solutions sounds not fun.
