Thanks. If the submitter is going to put (PDF) next to a link (and the editor approves the submission), it damn well should point to a PDF, and not a web page.
Shhh. You're upsetting his worldview, where he's entitled to being taken care of.
The counterpoint is that (at least in the US), the government makes it nearly impossible to subsist without participating in the government economy. You can't just grow subsistence crops on open land, you can't own land without participating in the $ economy to pay property taxes. You can't live a natural life if you wanted to. And if you try to be independant, they'll kill you.
Maybe. If you're one of the hundreds of people (out of billions) who have had the opportunity to go into space, count your lucky stars while you're there.
None have diied of a heart attack so far, and there's no reason for the great unwashed to fund research/technology to handle some future hypothetical event. If that's an issue for you, simply don't volunteer. No one has ever been forced onto a ride to space, non-humans excluded.
If, after going through space flight qualification screening, you still have a heart attack - you would have died on the ground anyways. Count it as the last checkmark on your bucket list.
The original medallion and license(?) numbers need to be transformed into unique but consistent identifiers in the output, so one can still follow an individual cab/driver, but not be able to identify them in the real world.
Assuming the dataset is ordered in some way (such as by date and time, which seems logical), even changing each cab/driver number to a unique, truly random number wouldn't be any more secure than the sequential assignment I gave as an example. Because, one could take the list generated that way, apply my example, and produced exactly the same list as if the sequential assignment were done in the first place. The only information the example I gave reveals is the order in which the numbers originally appeared. As long as you don't first sort the list by cab or driver number, you reveal nothing about the original numbers.
philip.paradis can now break his troll brain figuring out how the original numbers can be discovered without having more external info to correlate with.
Sure. I'm assuming there's a requirement to have a unique transformation of medallion numbers (otherwise, you wouldn't have to include even a hashed version)...
Instead of applying some hash to the medallion number, just do something like: Change all appearances of the first number in the list to "1". Change all appearances of the next unique medallion number in the list to "2." Etc.
The result is in essence a OTP. Unless records of the process are kept, it's irreversible (lacking external info, such as medallion number x picked up a fare at location y at time z and correlated info is in the info provided)..
Shhh. Admitting to chaos isn't deemed "scientific." Likewise, a one month period is climate when it supports your view, and merely weather when it doesn't.
So, you're one of those people who are oblivious to the traffic around them, and depend upon others to be defensive when around you. You shouldn't be on the road.

That's nothing. Play something by John Cage, and you get Windows OS.
"All workers have managed to cut down on our time on the job by 112 hours over the last 40 years"
In a summary addressing the "work week," how does one end up reducing it by 112 hours or more?
That's my understanding, too. They're simply trying to describe the index of refraction for deep space.
Keep digging that hole, and someday it will be large enough to put your head in.
Repeating an incorrect statement doesn't make it correct. You're really not very good at trolling, or much of anything it seems.
The submitter obviously thinks that things he doesn't understand are scams.
Somehow, I don't think I'll get an apology.
philip.paradis is simply being a assholish troll.

Do you always dig in so forcefully when you're demonstrably wrong?

Using a one time pad is even easier.
Are his initials "NSA?"
Since you're referencing the DoJ, I'd assume you mean jail time for those releasing evidence of illegal surveillance and deceiving the courts.
This thread is about Harleys, not Hummers.
You're just upset because you always lose the matches.

That's OK. Without the loud noises, you won't get the attention you desire, anyway.
"It isn't like you can look up license status through Google"
First, cellular frequency bands have mostly been "sold" to carriers, who are the only ones authorized to use those frequencies.
Second, the FCC itself, although not Google, certainly does have a license search (go to advanced if you want to search by frequency).
(and WTF is a "legislative amendment?" Cite something, if you can, instead of arguing by asking someone to prove a negative)
I'll bet it simple and cheap to form a new company, though.
