Not exactly secret, but not very well-known. In many states your credit score can be used as a factor in determining the cost of auto insurance for you. Lower credit scores can equal higher premiums.
Here's something totally bizarre that you might it might not care about.
The other day I brought up Metroid on the Nintendo Switch NES app (the one that lets you play some NES games with an online subscription.) After playing for a bit, I wanted to show him the Justin Bailey code. But I couldn't remember it exactly at first. So I tried it in various cases, and when I enter the code with all lowercase letters, it crashed the game.
No idea if it'll do that for everyone, or if it did that on the actual NES, but I tried it a few times and it crashed everything.
For reference, I entered in the code like this:
justin bailey
------ ------
But the actual code is:
JUSTIN BAILEY

I thought your post said NASA at first, and I was really skeptical.
In Kentucky, between Louisville and Frankfort, there is a city called "Simpsonville" and it's right next to a city called "Shelbyville".
I can see this being an on-again/off-again situation for a long time. When Rs are in power they'll remove it, and when Ds are in power they'll restore it. We need something like this to be enshrined in the law of the land, but more and more it feels like that isn't ever going to be possible as everything will be open to re-interpretation forever.

It was July 1988 and I had never flown on an airplane before. I flew on 10 airplanes in 21 days (with some driving from Frankfort to West Berlin and then to East Berlin.)
- Los Angeles to New York
- New York to Brussels
- Brussels to Frankfort
- East Berlin to Kiev
- Kiev to Moscow
- Moscow to Leningrad
- Leningrad to East Berlin
- Frankfort to Brussels
- Brussels to New York
- New York to Los Angeles
Every time I hear people worried about the robot uprising, I remember the time Google Location couldn't figure out what method of transportation I was using for 2 and a half hours between the Santa Ana, CA airport and the Denver, CO airport.
Like many tools, it can also be used for nefarious things, but that's not its only use.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the consequences of my own actions."
Similar to that, just because someone works in IT, doesn't mean they can fix your computer problem. I've worked with a lot of developers who were great coders but couldn't resolve networking or random OS issues.
