Sounds like you've been living abroad for about 15 years.
Read again "Italy: https://ilmiocf.it lets you generate your equivalent of an ssn (fiscal code). And, yes...if you know someone's very basic details you have the number."

I did not say you can "ruin someone's life" with it. I very clearly wrote "if you know someone's very basic details you have the number". No more, no less.

If I knew the details of Milano Bonzini, born in Milano on 10/10/2010 then this is (probably) their codice: BNZMLN10R10F205U.

I thought the site would be __fun__ for foreigners (US, but not only) on HN, maybe if they have Italian heritage, they can work out nonna's number.

The "stampa codice a barre", is equally fun and I know several visitors that have printed it out to go with their holiday memories.

'friendly word'.

For US viewers, enter 'stati uniti' as 'comune di nascita'.

You should check out Auditing Britain on youtube.
Specifically which parts of Europe? It's a big place, and I have given negative references with no fear of liability. And that includes across EU borders, including the UK.
I laughed out loud - best ever humour on hn, ever.
I often get BBC "you're not in the UK, can't watch' messages. Fine. Can't pay, won't pay.

....while I'm on lunch: why are tldr's at the end of articles?!
Similar. I have 40-person-viewed yt page with several videos (dashcam footages). One of the videos got blocked (someone reported it) and I had to appeal. Things went well as I specified no bad language, blood, anything even remotely 'bad', but I do wonder if things could have been worse. A few days ago there was an hn comment thread referring Gmail backups. I tried one of the processes, failed (it went very tech for me), but I did set up some rules to send messages from certain people to another account....just in case I need them. Yesterday, I actually did need one of them - a message from over 10yrs ago - the presentation of which saved me several 'conversations', at work.

"...and it was not unlocked by mistake.". Gah! Combination of negatives!
It's been the same throughout history. Invent a tool...use it to kill.
Evidence? I use sugar as an energy source. The more energy I use (or plan to use) the more sugar I need. That's a biological necessity, not a craving.

I can recommend apps like kubios (my fav), hrv4 and elite hr (I use all three daily). Coupled with even a cheap heart rate monitor, you can see the effects of 'everything' on your body/ soul as well as track sleep etc. Oura rings do similar, but they're subscription based.
Looked it up. I use it correctly, as do each of my kids and their friends. What's your point?

(And yes, I do appreciate the irony of my replying to your comment :-)

Be slightly wary of taking advice from people that use 'of', instead of 'have'.

Should have met Jim. Jim spoke about himself in the third person exclusively. I hated working with Jim.
Yes it does make sense. Follow the rules, or pay the price - simples.
