Useless information about the wrong country
It sounded to me like GGP was interested in hearing about any SSN that was assumed to be public knowledge, and Russia's was just the igniting spark for the question. GP makes it clear that, yes, there exists an example where the SSN is a public identifier. GGP: > Are their identification codes used as a shitty master password to their life too? I'd love to get to a system where your tax id was assumed to public knowl…
They are from a country where SSN where its a shitty master password for their life, and was wondering if Russia was the same way or if it was potentially implemented better.

What is a usian?
"Citizen of the USA" is a mouthful. People tend to use "American" but that's ignoring the fact that there are 35 countries in America. A lot of languages have a word like USian, e.g. "états-unien" (French), "estadounidense" (Spanish). I have used "USAmerican" myself when "American" would be ambiguous.
That's us. It's our word. You can pry it from our cold dead lips.

You might want to re-read the thread again. Your comment was uncalled for.
Is there anything specific you want to point out in my reread?

Erm ... no? Principles exist on both sides of the coin.
So you genuinely believe that doxing the Russian aggressors is a bad thing? What principle would this go against exactly?
Will someone be working through this list and speaking to each family to try to encourage them to get their son/father/brother to defect?
Don't like what Putin, Inc. is doing? Hire away all the talent.
