It’s not intended to be a secure ID. It’s meant to be the number by which you claim your social security benefits. It’s just warped into this ungodly mess because people use it as a “secure” number.

Companies in my industry have products they sell for 10-20 years. The chips will get used. Product updates often keep the same chip, and the same chip is used across multiple product lines. EOL for these chips usually means a bunch of firmw

Can confirm. Anyone working in supply chain is now told to buy 1-4 year supply of as many of the critical chips needed as they can. It used to be all about how JIT could it be. When the whole chip supply chain shifts from JIT to “get all yo

“ Americans paying 100% of their kids college is kinda”. As a non immigrant it’s weird to me too. There are a class of parents who obsess about “the best”. Best schools, best tutors, best nutrition, best ‘experiences’, best neighborhood. It

I went to a high school with no grades. It was great. My peers and i wanted to learn and we did. And there was no grade hype/complaining/competition. It works. The reality is as humans we love to learn things. Focus providing an e

Move to an older part of an urban city or small town and your experience is totally doable in the states. Just don’t move to a suburb with million dollar McMansions.
