Data Mining... - Page 2

Is this what you look like?

^ Lol. That is figuratively what my computer is doing for me.

I've update my first post with a new excel file. Ranges from LIN1290895412 to LIN1290896000. The excel itself goes to 590 rows.

I'll be setting my script to go the other way of LIN1290895412 tonight. I'll update with the results tomorrow.

Hope people find this useful. It will help those who can find solace in this data.

That IS a hobby, bro.

Do you think he's manually scraping each of those receipts by hand?

Nah, he wrote a script.

Coding's the kind of hobby that actually translates to big bucks once you get good at it.

I don't undertand what is this about?? Please explain.

Waste of time..? I was on Reddit while my computer was gathering this for me. Umm.. I don't think I'm making a very good case for myself.

All jokes aside, I was not manually gathering this as TexasDreamy stated. Also, I'm not doing this just for shits and giggles. Some people will feel better or at least stop stressing to find a "pattern" to all the approvals.

Personally, I'm doing this to find the "edge" of consistent approvals. And after doing so, see how far my App# is from that edge. This will make me feel better.

All of this, while I'm surfing the internet. So the question would be, "why wouldn't I do this, if I can"?


Hi, I'm taking App# above and below me and I have gathered a list of them along with some useful information.

The zip file in my first post contains an exel file with about 590 rows of data. Hope that makes sesne.

Please do it

I dont think you should. These numbers appear on the ead itself and even though i dont know their significance i do know throwing out data like that seems wrong. These numbers are unique and although they can be viewable by the public thats not a justification for gathering them so impatient people can obssess about the stats and become more impatient. Changing two numbers at the end to random values, which I myself have done, is different than specifically seeking data for hundreds to see. Just my two cents.

Wow Im stupid I didnt realize you had already done it haha

Dont do it....this is invasion of privacy . What if some people got rfe or denied do you think they would like the world to know about their misfortune? Please focus on your case and leave others alone.
