If you mean parents using their children SSN to open a credit card, this is because US banking system is always decades behind the rest of the world, so they just accept the number blindly even though technically the children aren't allowed to open a loan yet, being minor.
In theory once the child grows up and shocked that their credit score is ruined, they can file a police report to wipe the debt, but that also means their parents will go to jail, a large risk considering they're likely not in a good physical/mental health in the first place.
Other countries solved this by either having national ID or a working KYC system.
Probably not. OLED screens use less energy the more absolute dark pixel in the screen, and darker anything (can be greyscale or color) consume somewhat less than brighter anything, but greyscale on its own usually don't change how much absolute dark and darker pixels being displayed, unless you also tweak the brightness. Usually, the color filter is applied at the end of the process, so the GPU don't get to skip any calculation.
If it makes you use your device less, then you do save energy a bit.
The only people considering data centers in space are those too out of touch to remember that their vacuum flask retain heat for hours. At any usable capacity we'd be talking about massive field of dissipators, which can't be possibly profitable considering there are far more lucrative payload compared to dumb panels. Some would pretend there's a just around the corner tech to solve the heat waste, but if such tech really exists one of the criticisms of terrestrial data center (wasting stupid amount of water) would've been solved anyway making space data centers even less viable.
And there's also bitflips. Acceptable for astronauts carrying normal laptop to watch movies, but in a data center? Solving it through redundancy easily cut the usable capacity to half, and there's not enough shielding with any competition for the payload slot.
The usual criticism of Mars colonization is maintaining a base in Antarctic is already a heroic effort despite being relatively easier. Google and Microsoft mostly abandoned their "data center underwater in nearby shore" plans even though in those the tech would've only sat for few minutes going down or alternatively waiting for the problematic module being floated to the surface.
That's also how one of my first book that's focused on the language (instead of those focusing on how and what to do to build the cool stuff) feels like. Just pages of things that would've probably keep a language lawyer giddy but my blue-collar brain skip to sleep.
Head First series try to take different approach, but by then my brain has already too used to question every single sentence and goes on its way exploring which books simply aren't designed for.
Nah, then someone can still beat it out of you. Instead encode and tattoo it to a hamster with a cage that will auto open if you haven't check in in 24 hours. When the adversary is holding you, the hamster will escape and the neighbor's cat will take care of the rest.
I mean, if you're deliberately being a dick about it, they will ask for a warrant and have the LEO accompanying them while triangulating, they can easily figure out which unit and even room you're in by walking around in the building with directional receiver.
But in general, yeah, unless you do it regularly, living near sensitive facilities (airport, military base, hospital, factories, research labs etc) or deliberately transmitting at/near emergency frequencies (police, paramedic etc) at most you'll get yelled by a pissed off operator (at that point, stop, they could be already coordinating with someone else to triangulate you)
It's really good at understanding implied meanings. With other LLMs I often had to add a hint to clarify and guide, but Gemini can easily follow and guess the current tension and mood.
