It doesn't really matter, ebcause it applies same to all countries, so it doesn't explain why Americans need to consume 4 times more water per capita (3794 litres) than Germans (855), while Czechs for instance even half of the Germans (422).
And don't go at me with average temperatures nonsense, Spain and Greece are warmer than most of the US and have half of US water consumption, Thailand little bit over half, Malaysia less than 1/3 of US consumption.
Mitm attacks are still a thing, but personally I wouldn’t bother with it. It’s much easier to go the social engineering route, ie post on Facebook a picture of my “old” dog (really a random dog) with the text “flash back to my first dog Tessie! You will always have a place in my heart :) post in the comments about your first dog”
And boom now you have their answers to security questions to reset their passwords.

Are there any example of this actually happening? It seems like an old wives tale. The simpler explanation for why these posts are so popular is that they generate a lot of engagement, especially in the form of unique comments and number of commenters, which is a signal used for ranking and helps increase reach of these accounts.
I hated the feeling of running or working out hung over and used that as motivation to not drink. Would rather feel good working out and feel good after the work out.
I agree with this, my alcohol consumption has really tailed off after I started training for a marathon. It is impossible for me to actually train hungover and the required amount of training just so you can finish is 4-5x a week.
Yep, one of the main reasons I stopped using FB many many years ago was that they made it so hard to view the posts I actually cared about, and gave the user almost no control. It was clear at least a decade ago that FB didn't care about users and just saw them as chattel to squeeze for money.
This doesn’t bring me confidence. Just rented from Hertz yesterday and after waiting 30 minutes to even get to the counter I needed to wait another 30 minutes for them to locate the car I was supposed to be renting. They never located the car and swapped to a different car. I’m going to be paranoid that someone else’s rental is going to show up on my tab now. Not a good experience especially after a very long flight. Their process and operations is broken. It should not take more than an hour to rent a car when you’ve already reserved online and already have an account setup with them.
I normally rent with Enterprise or Sixt through Lyft with no issue but they did not have any available cars so I tried Hertz. It now doesn’t surprise me Hertz went into bankruptcy.
Someone rented though them, but put in my email address. I get this a lot, so I just ignored it. Then they got in a crash, and I got stuff from Sixt about it. Then a collector email me. That's when I said they always had the wrong email address and they left me alone, but still.
I wonder if timing may have been off. I'd like to imagine that re-introducing it today there'd be more appetite for a personal social network, now that Facebook/Meta is pivoting away.
But, yes I agree, I used to use Path also with just a group of 5 friends around 2013. The app was cleanly designed and it definitely felt intimate.
Visited Venice last year late November. During the day, the most enjoyable parts for me were walking a bit further away toward the northern sections (Cannaregio) which are away from the main shopping centers and thus crowds. Then during the late night/early morning I would walk with my wife and explore the city a bit more once the crowds died down and the city felt quiet (after 11pm). That was romantic. I’d parrot with others that it’s amazing not having to worry about cars.
We did Rome, Florence, Tivoli, Siena and Venice. All beautiful cities coupled with amazing food. Florence felt like I was walking through a painting at times; I loved them all.
Works fine for 1 application, but what about for thousands of services with many teams?
Everything is difficult with scale. We can’t expect every service owner to implement authz correctly, but if we can expose and build tools that help standardize and abstract as much as possible the difficulties of authz then service owners can focus their energy on other things.
I agree that identity is important, but I would argue that challenge lies in authn and would be it’s own separate article. This focus was on authz. We are assuming we trust the passed in identity at this point. Eg user has authned, session is established, and we trust that the identity has been passed securely from downstream.
