  • The first SSNs were issued in 1936 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Security_number

    According to the death master file entry in wiki 111x10^6 SSNs died between 1962 and 2018. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Master_File

    That's 1.982 x 106 x deaths x year-1. Assume that number to be a constant during the period 1936-2024

    1.982 x 106 x deaths x year-1 x (2024-1936) x year = 174.4 x 10^6 deaths

    According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_United_States there's 335.9 x 10^6 residents, but I can't tell if they are citizens with SSNs, but I'm going to assume that for now.

    So (335.9 + 174.4) x 106 is 510.3 x 106 spent SSNs.

    According to the same demographics wiki article the birth rate is 11 births per 1000 population. Death rate is 10.4 deaths per 1000 population. Because I'm just doing back of the envelope estimation for fun, while trying to manage my hangover in the early afternoon, I'm not going to create an exponential function to describe population growth. Instead I'm going to only consider future the US population a constant and not consider the 200 x 10^3 annual net growth (it only affects the next year's growth by 120 anyway)

    With all of that BS out of the way, at the present birthrate the US requires 3.695 x 106 new SSNs annually. The total amount SSNs in the current scheme is (109) - 1. I'm going to be leaving out the -1. 109 total SSNs - 510.3x6 spent SSNs leaves 489.7 x 10^6 SSNs available. 489.7/3.695 is 132.5.

    So in conclusion, assuming a constant population, the US can go for another 132.5 years with the present scheme without having to reuse any SSN.

  • The LMS we use at my school can't handle multiple students with the same name. So we have John Smith and John Smith-2. We have like 2000 new students each year, and we have recently transitioned to this LMS. Smh

  • I don't know to what extent law enforcement would go to catch a pirate in Denmark. But a guy just got 30days for seeding about 800 movies, so I'm not taking any chances. If I was ever to use p2p, and this is purely theoretical, I would find a public (or open private) wifi, use an external wifi adapter and a virtual machine that doesn't contain any personal information.

  • Do you trust your seed box provider to not rat you out? Or at the very least not have identifying information on you that will be seized in a raid?

    How do you do this with zero trust towards any provider? I mean unless you hijack a neighbors wifi, any provider can fuck up their OPSEC and get you burned.

  • I was so psyched when it was announced that somebody had picked up the fallout series. Then I got FO3 and 4, and then I swore never to buy another Bethesda release. And I then bought a backup disc of the originals, because I'll be damned if my kids will grow up and think that their father wasted his late teens playing Bethesda's FPS versions.

  • The whole idea of astrology is that your date of birth determines who you are as a person. If two people share a birth date, it would make sense that those people are very similar if the assumptions of astrology are true.

    I believe that the astrologers have come up with an explanation for how people can be different, but born the same day. I remember seeing ads back in the 90s for astrologers who would make super specific horoscopes, if you would send them cash and your exact time of birth and location. You're not the same person as someone who was born 30min earlier 50km away? Of course you're not!

    SMH what a load of crap

  • Getting a fine by "the parking people at work"... IDK, if I ever got a parking fine from my job I'd probably quit. Tell your employees to park properly, maybe even give a warning. But a fine? GTFO

  • There is a solution, it's called insurance. I know that you wouldn't get your family heirlooms back, but neither would you being armed but not home.

    I know the other guy wouldn't say it, so I'll go ahead and do it: you sound like you're out for revenge, but you don't know on whom to exact it. I fear that you could end up shooting a porch pirate in the back while claiming self defense.

  • Not OP check out my username for an idea of where I live. Besides a bit of gang on gang action in our capital, violent crimes are extremely rare. It's maybe once a year that police have to shoot at a person, and even then police officers will assess the situation and if possible not go for center mass.

    Note how I left out theft. That's because you can't directly use violence to protect property.

  • You can be outraged all you'd like, but if you choose to, then we're not really competing for the same jobs.

    I get that they're busy, but it's their problem, not mine.

    So? What are you going to do about it? They're making it your problem, and you can comply or not get hired.

    IDK about you, but I've got a family to feed, car payments to make, a mortgage, and no self-esteem. It's clearly hyperbole, but if I have to go down on a clown to make it easier to meet my income requirements, then I'm not gay but I'll still be looking for some tictacs.

  • Tbf I've done that with first joblistings. Like "ask questions that a suitable candidate for the following joblisting should answer in a job application". And then pasting my cover letters asking for relevancy and phrasing help. Maybe I should try for ATS optimization.
