At the very least names should be unique strings, preferably pronouncable
Pronounceable by *someone* or by you? Try getting together a native Cantonese speaker, Arabic speaker, and Inuktitut speaker and find a name all three of them can pronounce without noticeable issues.
Great! Everyone can get named a combination of Papa and Pizza, which are the only 2 words I've heard consistently pronounced everywhere I've traveled.
On second thought, I think the Japanese say "piza", so we're back to a unary sequence now. I call dibs on Papa¹

#453This is why we should replace names with uuids.
Sorry but I am voting for the opposite solution, meaning: with Session( engine ) as session: youngest_ids_subq = ( select( func.max( People.id ).label( "max_id" ) ) .group_by( People.name ) .subquery() ) purge_stmt = ( delete( People ) .where( People.id.not_in( select( youngest_ids_subq.c.max_id ) ) ) ) session.execute( purge_stmt ) session.commit() unique_idx = Index( "uq_people_name", People.name, unique=True ) uni…
So as the younger iteration, our friend Mark would now own bankrupcy offices now, on top of his shares in Meta, and be protected from impersonation forever.
Your version of the Purge would make an interesting Stephen King movie.

They retrieved those documents and gave them to the intended recipient. “Obtain” suggests something longer term.
No, "obtain" suggests "obtain".
There's no sense in quibbling over a vague and imprecise summary of the concept. Legally, fraud requires an injured party. In our scenario here, nobody was injured, so no fraud. Whether temporarily possessing a document to hand it to its intended recipient counts as "obtaining" is not really the pertinent question.
I suspect it may fall afoul of a law about making false statements to the government, but that's distinct from fraud.

Well, Papa, if you've only ever heard pizza being pronounced correctly you haven't played Mystery of the Druids.
Re: I Am Mark Zuckerberg
#456A friend of mine has a relatively common first name and last name, and she regularly gets mail that is clearly not meant for her. She started a Facebook group for homonyms to help her route mail, and it now have a hundred members and have helped people get important documents. At some point, they even organized an impersonation because someone needed to retrieve an official document and couldn’t be there in person. A…
> At some point, they even organized an impersonation because someone needed to retrieve an official document and couldn’t be there in person. Another member nearby offered to go and get it. “Won’t you need my ID for that? — Oh, I have one with just the right name…” That's a felony in many places.
I think you are massively overestimating the legal follow-through of an administration with opening hours so tight and irational they would be scadalous at a lingerie show.

Discuss it as in “there’s elections in Argentina, let’s see how we react to the change of administration”. Not as in “I will replace Argentina’s president”. At least the titles/descriptions didn’t contain anything to consider pulling a Snowden about it.
OK thanks, but well, my comment was a bit tongue in cheek anyway. That nuance didn't survive the passage all the way from intended meaning to text interpretation it seems.

Oh I wasn't talking about that part of the equation, in the money regards I think in the people_money table we would be better off running "truncate"

That's obviously nonsense. Lying on a loan application is fraud, even if you don't get the loan. You're confusing criminal liability with civil liability, which does require damages.
