Is there a term for this trend in web design, with defaulting to dark mode and having slick gradients everywhere?
I think GitHub kinda did it first on their desktop home page, but that has been out for years.

"He should partner with a law firm" He is a Microsoft employee.
No, he's not. https://www.troyhunt.com/about/ says "I don't work for Microsoft"
We can debate semantics but if you describe yourself with a job title attached to a company then I suggest that you have an association which looks rather like ... employment.

Who has the record for being in the most breaches? My main email seems to currently be in 40 breaches, earliest one in from June 2011 (HackForums, don't even remember what that is), and last one in September 2024 (FrenchCitizens, although I'm not French nor have I ever lived in France).
You’ve got me beat by 1. Congratulations
Amazing that even within the last decade a site as large as LinkedIn could be storing unsalted passwords. How does anyone fail at this in the modern era?
It's actually really easy to do unintentionally. For an intervening middleware, a password field in a JSON object is just like any other field in a JSON object. You may have some kind of logging / tracking / analytics somewhere that logs request bodies. You don't even have to engage in marketing shenanigans for that to be a problem, an abuse prevention system (which is definitely a necessity at their scale) is enough…

The idea of fines as a revenue stream has never sat well with me. Fines are meant to be a disincentive. The ideal collection amount is zero. Treating them as a revenue stream creates a perverse incentive to enforce the penalty without disincentivizing the behavior.
If your ideal is a perfect society where everyone follows the all rules all the time you are going to be sorely disappointed. The ideal collection amount is the size of the fine multiplied by the actual occurrence of the offense. And that revenue should be strictly used for rehabilitative or restorative justice. For example, speeding fines should go to road improvements that deter speeding making roads safer. If no o…
I don't think that's a logically self-consistent idea. The "actual occurrence of the offense" is not an inevitable pre-existing fact, it exists downstream of the size of the fine and efficiency of enforcement. If you fine people 5% of their annual income for going 1 mph over the speed limit, and put more traffic enforcement on the road, fewer people are going to speed.
So to answer the question "what's the ideal collection amount", you have to consider what the costs (economic and social) of rule breaking behavior are, and trade those off with how much behavior can be modified by fines, as well as the costs of enforcement.
Furthermore, just taking the statement at face value, the only way to actually collect the size of the fine multiplied by the actual occurrence of the offense is to successfully fine 100% of offenders or fine some non-offenders, but even if this is possible it's almost certainly not the "ideal" amount of enforcement.

I really wish I could put in my domain name, I have so many aliases that it's basically impossible to search each one individually.
it's right there after the "The Domain Search Feature" heading. Verify ownership, then you get results

Not only is not in order, I tried a few emails and in all of them I get a bunch of sites that I've never used. I wonder if it's fetching the wrong data?
I regularly have doppelgangers that sign up for services with my email address. I've been added to door/visitor notifications. I have received medical information for them. Retirement package info. A telecom internal tracker. A Doubleclick account for a while. Lessons for their children. Countless rewards accounts.
