In a first for me, this week we got FIVE unique submissionsof the exact same bug on LinkedIn. In the spirit of the theme,I dug up a couple of unused submissions of older problems atLinkedIn as well. I guess there are more than the usual numberof tech people looking for jobs.

John S., Chris K., Peter C., Brett Nash and Piotr K. all sent in samples of this doublebug. It's a flubstitution AND bad math,together!

LatinSteevie is also job hunting and commented "Well, I know tech-writers may face hard times findinga job, so they turn to LinkedIn, which however doesn'tseem to help... (the second announcement translates to'part-time cleaners wanted')As a side bonus, apparently I can't try a search for jobsoutside Italy, which is quite odd, to say the least!"

Clever Drew W. found a very minor bug in their handling of non-ASCII names."I have an emoji in my display name on LinkedIn to thwartscrapers and other such bots. I didn't think it would alsothwart LinkedIn!"

Finally, Mark Whybird returns with an internal repetition."I think maybe I found the cause of some repetitivenotifications when I went to Linkedin's notificationspreferences page?" I think maybe!
