"Briggs et al vs. FAA 0x7df" does not appear to be a real court case. Is this a bot?

Maybe you're referring to "Brigida et al vs Pete Buttigieg, Secretary US Dept of Transportation"? Motion to dismiss for which was denied in 2021? (https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/distric...)

"As of February 2025, this case remains ongoing"? (https://clearinghouse.net/case/45988/?doc_page=2&docket_page...)

I put the date in hexadecimal for whimsy. If you convert and search, youll find it.

Why would you put the years in hex, except to obscure? The tracingwoodgrains report is compelling, people should listen to it.

Just for pure whimsy and it's hacker news and the year is close to 0x800 so I wanted to see if I could count backwards in hex in my head.

The first half of tracing woodgrains was on-point. The 2nd half diverged into half-truth. They had a chance in court to provide evidence and couldn't. The case was dismissed. Those looking to score points against DEIA based on this case have to take the L gracefully.
