for display, you have various ways to encode that number into something easier for humans, what I prefer:
- short word - no offensive words - with a checksum (so we easily spot any copy paste mistake) - not sequential - can be put in a url without extra encoding
this is our implementation of that (base32 and luhn code)
For further context, we are working on online campaigns (petitions, sending emails to elected representative...) and everything has either ids (numbers) that we generate (a campaign, a action, a supporter...) or given externally (eg. the elected representatives or vote reference).
Most of these ids are in the 1k to 100k range, that happen to often be the same range as the number of actions taken or emails sent) and mixing these KPIs and ids on the same lists happen to be confusing for users.
It might be that we shouldn't try to put these ids in lists and summaries, but they are super convenient there sometimes and unavoidable when exporting to excel, so dxid was my solution to work around our potentially poor ux design ;)
It's solving a tiny problem that annoyed me for many years: find a way to have unique keys for entities that don't have an obvious one without displaying their primary key as a number.
base 10 is not the best representation here.
feedback welcome!

It's the same with the wsj, they are comparing a 100% occupancy rate of the plane with a 20% for the car (a single passenger)
Assuming the consumption of a train doesn't change much based on how many passengers, you can travel by train for carbon free, as the 56 mpg won't change if you are in the train or not
Of course trains should be electrified, but take the train today already, the higher the occupancy rate, the better the averaged mpg will be
And who knows, it might change how the fret trains seems to always have the priority over passengers ones and finally make it a pleasant experience
it worked quite well so far
