So... the US Social Security numbers are type string or something?

Well, not that I do, but I got once told by a big guy (former tax project manager) that you should save numbers you don't calculate with as string. Yes, I see also the sort issues, wish I could still ask about there. But there must be some truth in this somehow. He was 1.85 tall.

I'm in for the payment cat. It can meet my payment avoid dog.

@retoor damnit! I wanted to make a joke about the payment cat! 😂

@Lensflare don't fuck with the payment cat. It's not a pussy.

String isnt the issue. But the column is likely not using a unique key constraint.

I bet they handle it in code with something dumb like a query to check of the number exists before generation. So they could still be de-duplicating it in code, just not using a proper schema. Ideally it should be both, but the lower the level where the security is enforced the better. I doubt Elon went over all the code just to check

Whatever he says is always wrong. If you want to be rich, respected and called a “strong leader” in 2025, all you need to do is to tell nothing but lies and touch kids. If you're not doing that, you won't be respected at the top

@kiki Musk is not on the pedo list right? He was once photo bombed with Epstein lady iirc.

Epstein came as a surprise, are there more people who have an Island like Epstein but with a higer average citizen age?

Edit: Mel Gibson, shakira And Johnny dep even. Talking about doing mediocre things got rewarded well. I often can't imagine to raise so much money out of fame. That's why they think their political opinion does matter, they think they are someone.

@retoor there are two types of obscenely rich white psychopaths: known pedos and soon to be known pedos. If he's rich-rich, white and a psychopath, he is a pedo, no exceptions.

@retoor @kiki I have the Elon Musk book, it's unbelievable how they twisted the truth. One big promotion book. Steve Jobs biography was marketing too, but it's probably at least not lies.

@Demolishun so much shit comes out and they stay loyal to the left. They say that Trump friends are blind for all shit he does, well they're not any different. Trump seems a bit more fit than a while ago. He's happy I think. But he's fucking old, he can't continue like this for long I guess. The military said "Welcome" to DOGE and are happy to collaborate. Tbh, who doesn't want to know where to cut expenses? I became a bit more optimistic about Musk. As stated above, there is a lot false about him, but he dares to do stuff. Trump and Elon are interesting team. Everyone is shocked because they don't expect actual work in the white house being done. Yeah, if you rule a country, whatever you do will not be appreciated by someone. The list of programs of USAID was sick. Sex change for people in Guatemala and some gay musical for example. All fine, but from taxpayer money werefrom at least the half would never agree to that? Poor lefties, getting richer :P

@Demolishun > "Musk has been under fire"

I still laugh when the left attack Musk for essentially duping liberals/socialists into the "electric cars will reverse climate change" craze. They already mandated by law electric cars by an arbitrary date, tax rebates, etc before realizing it was all a scam. Not saying I wouldn't own an electric car, but it's a rich man's game I'm not qualified to play.
