Yes, IIRC everyone at Amazon has a hardware security key (which is more secure than the standard mobile app TOTP most of us use everywhere online).

Yes it can apply to US citizens in certain cases, I thought I agreed with you on that, did I not? It’s still a fact that GDPR does not always (or even normally) apply to US residents doing business with US companies. UK courts have no authority over US companies operating only in the US with US residents who aren’t traveling abroad. Cambridge Analytica is a British company, that is why GDPR applies to them. So yes, I was wrong to conclude prematurely based on your link that this example is one where the company was legally entitled to refuse to comply. But the take-home message doesn’t change - GDPR doesn’t automatically apply to non-EU residents or non-EU companies, unless or until one or both parties has some EU involvement.
One strategy that my parents used (accidentally, I think they would be appalled to remember it) was to only pay me an allowance for seasonal chores, specifically mowing the lawn in the spring/fall. That meant if I wanted to buy Christmas presents for my friends in the winter, I had to save my money from the fall. This taught me to not count on a good income continuing forever. As I got older, they also occasionally asked me to pay for small necessities myself, which taught me to save for unexpected expenses.

They also made a game out of calculating the tip together, so I saw exactly how much money it cost every time we ate out. To this day, I still eat out rarely and never order soft drinks at restaurants because it's such a clear waste of money. It may seem like a trivial amount of money, but I had plenty of peers in tech who paid $20+ a day to eat out every meal. It adds up quickly.

There are also some very practical lessons, like exactly how to write a check, enter an entry in a checkbook, or pay for gas at the gas station, which my parents made sure I saw them do and explained each step, as well as the standard cautionary tales about how credit/interest works and the importance of paying bills before they accrue interest.

That's just not true. If it's stored in some special secure memory, it's probably actually slower than the general memory on Android.

Android's contactless doesn't require network connectivity. You can switch and use any of the added cards without having any network connection.
Imagine today an OS from Google built on top of Linux+Inferno, or well, maybe, Golang and a custom UI.
A big difference is that it was really scary to run up against their non-HTML content policy, which I presume isn't the case with this new object storage.
Android didn't get that until 8. This was before that. A lot of devices run pre-8 Androids.
Majority of Private Relay traffic comes from Cloudflare and Fastly. That's one of the relay's privacy features: the server don't know where the client comes from.
I hope the marketshare of the official client is at the very least high enough to prevent them from crippling APIs so third-party clients are gimped, like Twitter has done.

> but dropped it because it was tied to doing work around the house which we felt they should do anyway.

Thank you for mentioning this. It may be useful for other parents to know - research shows that rewards kill intrinsic motivation, replacing it with extrinsic motivation. When the reward stops, the rewarded behaviors stop, too.

If a child likes to draw, for example, rewarding them for drawing will damage their relationship with drawing.

The message of rewards is - the thing you’re doing is not worth it unless you get the reward.

Praise, conditional approval, attention, otherwise withheld access to activities, are all rewards.

Lastly, rewards are also punishments - because withholding a reward is punishment.

Punishments and rewards establish a transactional relationship and reduce intimacy, connection and trust. They are all a tool for control.

I recommend Alfie Kohn’s Punished by Rewards for a deep dive with a lot of citations showcasing some fascinating studies.
Your privacy actively decreases by switching from pretty much anything to Apple services. At least if Microsoft or Google is at the wheel you can count on their incompetence: Apple's collusion with the American government is well-documented at this point, and a reasonable security threat to anyone located outside of the United States. It should be assumed that the NSA has access to every iMessage conversation ever held (otherwise, why would Apple even generate a key for themselves?), and that your device is constantly spying on you, waiting for a single discrepancy that it can report home.

Frankly, if Apple's the alternative, I'd rather roll my own security. I have no interest in wasting my time trying to pick the lock on my golden handcuffs just to use my computer without being watched.
> What are you gonna do? Shoot me?

> You don't have the guts.

If you challenge a violent criminal like this, you leave him no choice but to shoot you. That goes double if you do it in front of his peers. Either he rises up to your challenge or he loses respect. He's dead if people don't respect him.

People do all sorts of things when they're placed in stressful situations. It's easy to end up making this sort of challenge when trying to drive away an aggressor. Insults, challenges, threatening violence, threatening to call the cops. Sometimes a violent person starts to back down and leave but the victim just has to get that last insult in to teach him a lesson.

Like all people, women are prone to this. Verbal violence can and will escalate a dangerous situation. Sometimes women initiate physical violence against much stronger men: they slap him.

What about debit cards? So, basically, you're leaving just one or two slots for anyone who's above average?
Number portability just means that the owner of the number can change. When an ownership change happens, the new owner knows they are the current owner, and can reject calls entering their network claiming to come from that number. Likewise, the former owner knows they no longer own it, and can accept calls from it.
Also, don't give them more than that allowance - when it's gone, it's gone.

I disagree. Locking down and logging access to raw data like password hashes or payout information to only those who absolutely need it doesn't cause much annoyance and is very useful.

It protects the company against rogue employees (not even strictly malicious, but also curious employees who want to see more than they should). It limits exposure if an employee's account gets hacked (my pet theory for this Twitch hack). And if something does go wrong, logs help track down the issue/leak.

And at the end of the day, there should be a lightweight way to request access. Many times I've seen people request access that they didn't actually need. And most other times they have access pretty quickly.
It's all in how it's done isn't it? One way can bring greater understanding, empathy, and a sense of common purpose. Another way can stoke mistrust, resentment, and alienation. Look around you and guess which way most of American media have been choosing.
Another possibility here is to expose them to the idea of bills too. As a kid, my account balance was easy to manage because it only went down when I swiped my card. Auto paying bills forces you to always keep a healthy account balance.

When they are old enough to understand, make sure to tell them about financial tools besides checking accounts. Explaining how they work, and what they should be used for could go a long way.
/* just observing the data presented in the Cloudflare article (https://blog.cloudflare.com/october-2021-facebook-outage/) and disagreeing with the conclusion :-)

While 129.134.30.0/23 (subnet where and a and b nameservers reside) has indeed been withdrawn (according to FB postmortem by DNS automation tooling, 129.134.0.0/17 that is the shorter prefix (perhaps summary at the edge) was still present, however, didn't have longer prefixes (e.g 129.134.30.0/24 and 129.134.31.0/24 we normally see anycasted externally) internally.
In other words - routing towards FB DNS subnet (I haven't looked into 185.89.218.0/23 which is where 2 other authoritative nameservers reside) still worked up to the FB border, the traffic was dropped (routed to Null) by FB edge, since it didn't have more specifics internally.

This, combined with TTL of 60 seconds led to almost immediate global DNS failure and all other stuff you have been reading about.
Rust is cool and all but I feel like the code examples would have been a bit more didactic in e.g. Julia since there's less distracting complexity in those types of languages. Here's a somewhat equivalent translation of the first snippet:

rolls = 1_000_000
n_sides = 6
sevens = 0

for _ in 1:rolls
if rand(1:n_sides) + rand(1:n_sides) == 7
sevens += 1
end
end
println(sevens/rolls * 100)

We've already agreed in the TOU for our credit cards that the debtor/merchant is entitled to access to information about you from your credit card company. It is far more intrusive than government ID, yet people freak the fuck out about ID but swipe their VISA 10,000 times per second.

This is how Scientology tracked me for almost three decades even after I changed addresses a dozen times. I bought something from them once on Visa, and they constantly got updates on my personal info.

How are you OK with VISA and not OK with ID on a social media site when the former is far worse than the latter?

We've already given up privacy.

Please help me understand if I'm wrong. I'd like to not be so cynical.

Then your #2 concern should be "when will I want to access this data I store? How much of it? And how quickly?" because that's where Glacier can cost you a new house or car.

So for backups, stuff you don't need often (AND don't need to restore quickly), it's fine. Not so for most other use-cases.

One of the recommendations I have seen for this as well is basically walking through a monthly budget using Monopoly money. Start with a pile of Monopoly cash that is your gross monthly paycheck and start putting away money in piles for taxes, rent/mortgage, food, insurance, savings, etc.

I think it helps conceptualize some of the relative values of things and the spending/saving they can't physically see.

It's really interesting, but I've noticed the same pattern in development with my kids. My eldest had a strong tendency to label blue things as "green".

I'll have to test him for color blindness of course, but I don't think that's the issue. I think it's just that the two are more similar than it appears to me as an adult.
From what I’ve seen, it’s similar to most other developing -> more developed countries. Specifically:

- people are getting more education. So instead of getting hitched at 18 they are still in school at 22, 23

- more financial burden with raising family (getting married usually equals kids)

- more financial independence. People don’t need to pair up to get by anymore. Also don’t need the extra labor from kids either

- changes in cultural expectation. In china women are mostly still expected to get married young, but it’s rapidly changing. Being a single man / woman isn’t as much of an issue as it was before.
Hangul also has the trait that green traffic lights are considered "blue". Really made my head spin as a kid.

Why assume “social media bad” is a moral panic and not a legitimate assessment? The “cigarettes unhealthy” trend has had many of the same moralizing overtones as baseless panics (like over heavy metal music, dungeons and dragons, or satanism among childcare providers), but it’s grounded in scientific fact and so is here to stay.
Encryption does not "add", like error/noise, it translates. The signal-to-noise ratio stays the same.

Another way do describe it is that error correction creates resistance against (effectively) some upper boundary of error/noise. It does that by essentially multiplying the signal so that (with a still constant error) it increases the effective SNR , as that is just signal divided by error. It cannot work if you have 100% noise and 0% signal (it's intuitive why, and 0 multiplied by x is still 0). A good encryption scheme however (pretty much any common one that isn't a toy) has the goal of making the signal look entirely random for anyone without the proper algorithm and secret to reverse. With an effectively 0 SNR to that observer, there is no signal to boost.

Noise/error is random, if it wasn't it would be reversible and not need any error correction techniques that effectively reduce bandwidth. Encrypting, however, is not random at all, it is entirely deterministic, making it intentionally reversible.

Education and risk-taking in your 20's is far superior
to trying to save for retirement from 20 years old.

Education, yes...Risk taking? That depends on how the risk turns out ;)

I'm 38 and have been an entrepreneur several times (currently managing a small startup of 5 employees). I would have been at a much better situation financially if I decided at age 20 to optimize for getting hired at a FAANG-type company and going up the ranks while saving a good portion of my salary. And that would have had a small fraction of the risk of starting my own company.

Instead of screaming “fanboys”, please try to recall how horrible the payment platforms were before, in Sweden it was the literal dark ages before Apple Pay with banks and other vendors trying to force the most obscure and user hostile solutions they could come up with.
Samsung Pay was of course another solution, but they didn’t consider security to be an important part of the design, at least not initially.

If every iPhone is going to be a gateway for terrible payment solutions we’re in it for a world of hurt (forget wallets, one app and one custom solution per store, or more, will be the norm).
Heh. Wishful thinking from entrepreneur. Had there been no Cuba and a whole continent between Europe and Japan, Columbus and his crew would have died.
I am curious as to what happens to the data.

This is why we need whistleblowers. It could be very easy for Facebook to knowingly keep this information and just make it a trade secret. The risk of being exposed for lying probably doesn't matter since there are so many ways around it without "lying".

But who am I kidding. I would love to know which private company has the most personal info:

- Lexis Nexis,

- West Law,

- Cellphone companies,

- TRW (credit rating companies)

- VISA (Amex, Mastercard), or

- Facebook
> there was a possibility that it would accumulate interest

This is something I wish my parents had put more weight in me learning. They of course taught me the value of money and I had to pay for the things I wanted to get.

However, even though they gave me an allowance and extra money for each A+ I got in school, they never taught me about the value of saving money.

I always think back to when I started working in my 20s and wish I had saved religiously 10% to 20% of my income. Through all my life I have been able to do it, but just didn't see the benefit of saving that and investing it somewhere (even if just to get 6% interest).
Sorry to be cynical, but this will not stop the use of the technology. No universal ban like this will happen. What will happen is that the government(s) will end up being the sole user of it via a plea to the public for some sort of safety or security that "benefits" them.

The problem is that fundamentally, to Facebook, a user's login account is a separate thing from the user's profile.
You can delete your account, and with a straight face Facebook can assert you've deleted it. But your profile, the mass of data and content that you put on Facebook with your account, and all the data associated with it through their social graph and algorithms, that never gets deleted.

In a very real sense, "you" still exist in Facebook. That's why when, weeks, months, or years later, when you login, Facebook recognizes you. You create a new "account", and Facebook very conveniently associates everything it knows about you (which it never forgot) with your new account.
