@tracegallagher Yes I do.
Imagine going there on a 'date' and seeing that.
Or doing a business lunch.
Etc.

@elormkdaniel @theashrb I remember learning this as a programmer at a credit card processing company and was fascinated
English

Take your card number and starting from the second-to-last digit, double every second digit moving left. If doubling a digit produces a number greater than nine, subtract nine from the result. Then add all the digits together, the doubled ones and the untouched ones. If the total is divisible by ten, the number is valid. If it isn’t, the number is mathematically impossible as a card number and the form rejects it on the spot.
This is the Luhn algorithm written in 1954 by a computer scientist at IBM named Hans Peter Luhn. It still runs inside every payment form on the internet today. And it turns out that valid card numbers are not random. They follow this mathematical rule, and any number that breaks it is immediately disqualified without ever touching a bank’s systems. No server contacted. No database checked. No network request made. The validation happens entirely on your device, in milliseconds.
The first six digits do additional work before the Luhn check even runs. They are called the Issuer Identification Number; the first digit identifies the card network (4 means Visa, 5 means Mastercard, 3 means Amex), and the following digits identify the specific bank that issued the card. This is why payment forms show you the Visa or Mastercard logo the moment you type the first digit. No server needed. The network is encoded in the number itself.
The last digit of every card number is called the check digit it exists for no other purpose than to make the entire number pass the Luhn algorithm. When a bank generates a new card number, it calculates what the last digit must be to make the sequence valid, then stamps it on the card. It is a built-in mathematical fingerprint.

As a developer, have you ever wondered: You type a 16‑digit card number and the form instantly says “Invalid card number”. There are billions of possible numbers. How the hell is that check that fast?

@mrmikeMTL I love to read -- Book'em is from Hawii Five-O
Then I used to be called Code Monkey at work

@poe_collector When I say something along these lines but not as smart as this teacher, I am told to ask better questions.
I've lost some respect for people that are stepping into the corporate lines they've been put into.

@PitchingNinja There will be so many ramifications from this.

@KentMurphy could not tell but did the coach say slide.....

@Shannonigans707 @Layemie001 yes
I wish to build a library of sorts but the books in that heat?

@EOEboh I saw a traffic jam in the middle of a neighborhood. Made no sense.
Drove through, oh, it's a bunch of landscapers at someone's house!

Chris Moon was part of the @ArizonaBaseball recruiting class that went on to win a national championship. Instead, after a very successful fall season with the Wildcats, Moon felt a calling to serve his country instead. He was drafted by the Braves, turned that down too. Like Pat Tillman, Moon answered the call and left to carry a long rifle as a sniper in the 82nd Airborne Division. Chris became a member of his unit in the 2-508th Parachute Infantry Regiment. Chris was KIA from wounds suffered by an IED in the Arghandab River Valley of Kandahar Province, Afghanistan. His friends told me he was very good at his job. Probably too good. At that time, snipers trailed with their long rifle visible - The last man. Moon was targeted by remote control. He passed away while his mom was in flight to see him. Heroes don’t hit balls over fences - Chris is a hero and we continue to recognize his family and his legacy and honor their sacrifice.

@athenaeumbc Years ago, a friend made this point.
Centuries later, when digital anything devices are found, they will be mostly useless.

Since Elon shared our post, thousands of you joined our book club, so we thought now is a good time to remind you of our mission..
We live in a time of noise, speed, and amnesia. Few remember where we came from, and fewer still care to ask. But without active memory, a culture dies.
Athenaeum was founded to resist this death. We are a home for readers who still believe that ideas matter: that Augustine, Dante, Shakespeare, and Dostoevsky are not just names in a syllabus, but guides to a deeper and more ordered life. This is the kind of reading that sharpens the mind and strengthens the spirit.
Western Civilization has given us the greatest works ever written, but it takes effort to read them, and even more to read them well. That’s what we’re doing here — slowly, together.
If you want to support our efforts, please consider a paid subscription. It makes a huge difference to the time and resources we can dedicate to this project. Paid members get:
- Live community book discussions (biweekly)
- Deep-dive essays to guide you through the books we’re reading
- The full archive of book reviews, essays, and our 100 Great Texts reading list
- Access to all community discussion threads (via the subscriber chat)
- Ability to vote on what we read next
This is not school. There are no grades, no credentials, and no status games. Just a community of readers serious about recovering what’s been lost, and using it to build something better. Welcome!

🚨🎙️Gary Neville on what happened to Newcastle:
"I’m sitting here in absolute shock. We spend every single week talking about the 'intensity' of the Premier League, the 'physicality' of our game, and how it’s the elite standard of world football. Last night, Barcelona didn't just beat a Premier League team; they humiliated the entire English top flight.
"We call this the 'best league in the world,' but last night Barcelona treated a top-four English side like a training cone. Seven goals? It’s a humiliation. It’s a shame for our game. You can’t talk about 'EPL intensity' when you’re being carved open like a Sunday League team. Barca are simply on another planet."

@Choppodong1 @MattNorlander "Feels unreal" to the question, How did you do it
English

@MattNorlander 1- he was pissed no one would play them.
2- he was fixated on his points because he wasn’t listening to the questions at all.
Not a good interview thanks to the coach. Kind of a douche.

@vxunderground Had a tenant call me and say who is so and so.
So and so had vacated the house after I threatened with eviction.
Shady characters were showing up looking for them.
Thankfully, none did any harm.

Dawg, like, 8 months ago this dude randomly knocks on my door and he's like, "are you John Strawberry?" (not the actual name he said).
I'm like, "....No?" and he's like, "Well, do you know where he is or how to find him?"
I reply, "I have no idea who that is, sorry." and then I go on about my business and I forget about it.
Bro shows up again a few months later knocking on my door asking for John Strawberry. This time my wife answered the door and he's yapping about how he has to return something really important to him. My wife is like "??? Who the FUCK is John Strawberry ???"
Fast forward, this whacko shows up AGAIN. This time he parks outside my house. He knocks on the door. He says his car broke down and he needs help. I'm like, "weren't you the dude asking for John Strawberry?" and he's like, "Oh, do you know John Strawberry? How can I contact him?"
I'm like ???
This dude drives by my house now AT LEAST once a week. He rolls by real slow and takes a look and then leaves.
Then the police show up asking for John Strawberry. They say they have a warrant out for his arrest and my home was listed as last known good address.
DAMN YOU JOHN STRAWBERRY

A dry cleaner ruined one of my shirts recently, and I decided not to do anything about it.
Why?
They would have pushed back and insisted they didn’t do it. I would have explained why they were wrong, and they would have denied it again. I would have told them I’d never come back unless they reimbursed me, and the back and forth would have continued.
Frankly, dealing with that kind of conflict over a shirt that costs a couple hundred dollars isn’t worth my time or energy at this point in life.
Yes, people should be held accountable, and there should be consequences for actions, and this stuff should be viewed on a case-by-case.
But in this case, it was a no brainer. All downside.
I’m just not going to go back.
Sometimes you have to weigh the upside, pick your battles, and choose being smart over being right.
