 <p dir="auto">The issue here is that the empty int list <code>TupleInt.EMPTY</code> is unified with <code>TupleInt(0, partial(lambda i, self, j: Int.if_(j == self.length(), i, self[j])), 101, TupleInt.empty)</code> aka <code>TupleInt(0, lambda j: Int.if_(j == 0, 101, TupleInt.EMPTY[j])))</code></p>
 <p dir="auto">Now let&#39;s say we do a naive index the empty list like <code>TupleInt.EMPTY[0]</code>. We could say this incorrect, or how we can represent it is that it unifies with <code>Int.NEVER</code>. But it can show up in the e-graph, because in <code>if_</code> conditionals, the false branch can end up doing indexing that is not allowed. So we want it to not mess things up.</p>
 <p dir="auto">And in this case then, it will evaluate to <code>(lambda j: Int.if_(j == 0, 101, TupleInt.EMPTY[j])))(0)</code> which is <code>Int.if_(0 == 0, 101, TupleInt.EMPTY[0]))</code> which is <code>101</code>... So then what we get is that <code>101</code> is unified with <code>Int.NEVER</code> which... isn&#39;t good! Is really bad! Because it means all numbers can be unified together basically, i.e. false is true whatever.</p>

-    <h1>Fake Nintendo lawyer is scaring YouTubers, and its not clear YouTube can stop it</h1>
-    
-    <div id="readability-page-1" class="page"><div><p>In late September, Dominik “Domtendo” Neumayer received a troubling email. He had just featured <em>The</em> <em>Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom</em> in a series of videos on his YouTube channel. Now, those videos were gone. </p><p>“Some of your videos have been removed,” YouTube explained matter-of-factly. The email said that Domtendo had now received a pair of copyright strikes. He was now just one copyright strike away from losing his 17-year-old channel and the over 1.5 million subscribers he’d built up. </p><p>At least, he would have been, if Domtendo hadn’t spotted something fishy about the takedown notice — something YouTube had missed. </p><p>Domtendo had been a little bit confused right from the start;<strong> </strong>the strikes didn’t make sense. Like countless other creators, Domtendo specializes in “Let’s Play” videos, a well-established genre where streamers play through the entirety of a game on camera.</p><div><div><p>“The next copyright strike will close your channel”</p></div></div><p>Nintendo has a complicated relationship with the fans who use its copyrighted works, infamously shutting down all sorts of unauthorized projects by sending cease-and-desists. <a href="https://www.theverge.com/games/24272743/nintendo-retro-game-corps-russ-crandall-profile-youtube-emulation-dmca-takedown-copyright-strike">It has gone after YouTubers</a>, too. But both the Japanese gaming giant and the broader gaming industry typically leave Let’s Plays alone, because they serve as free marketing for their games.</p><p>And yet, YouTube had received a legit-looking request apparently justifying these takedowns under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), signed “Tatsumi Masaaki, Nintendo Legal Department, Nintendo of America.”</p><p>It was in a second email from YouTube that Domtendo spotted something off. The takedown requests came from a <em>personal</em> account at an encrypted email service: “tatsumi-masaaki@protonmail.com”.</p><div><div><div><div role="button" aria-label="Zoom" tabindex="0"><figure><div><p><span><img alt="YouTube took action on Domtendo’s videos, even though the requests cited a personal email address." src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" decoding="async" data-nimg="fill"/></span></p></div></figure></div></div><div><figcaption><em>YouTube took action on Domtendo’s videos, even though the requests cited a personal email address.</em></figcaption> <p><cite>Image: Domtendo</cite></p></div></div></div><p>Fake takedowns are real. <a href="https://transparencyreport.google.com/youtube-copyright/summary?hl=en">YouTube says</a> over six percent of takedown requests through its public webform are likely fake, and the company accepts requests via plain email too, meaning anyone can file them. Fighting fake takedowns can cost creators time, money, and stress. But creators can’t easily be sure that a takedown is fake — and they can lose their entire channel if they get it wrong and clash with a company that has a legitimate copyright claim.</p><p><a href="https://www.theverge.com/games/24272743/nintendo-retro-game-corps-russ-crandall-profile-youtube-emulation-dmca-takedown-copyright-strike">When the well-respected Retro Game Corps</a> received his second Nintendo copyright strike, he publicly declared he would self-censor all his future work to hopefully escape the company’s wrath. But first, he checked that Nintendo’s threat was real. He checked to see who YouTube listed as the complaining party, and that it came from a Nintendo email address. Then he checked with his YouTube Partner Manager to be extra safe.</p><div><p>Rumors of fake Nintendo takedowns have swirled in the past. Earlier this year, <em>Garry’s Mod </em>developer Garry Newman removed<a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/25/24140246/garrys-mod-nintendo-copyright-takedowns-dmca"> 20 years’ worth of Nintendo-related fan content from his sandbox video game</a> over takedown threats. Fans speculated that it may actually have been someone posing as a Nintendo lawyer. But Newman eventually revealed <a href="https://garry.net/posts/aaron-peters">Nintendo was legitimately behind those takedowns</a> despite using seemingly suspicious names and emails.</p></div><p>Domtendo thought he might have an actual case of a Nintendo faker. So he decided to push back. At first, it seemed to work. He emailed YouTube, and it soon reinstated his videos. But Tatsumi was back the next day — this time, emailing Domtendo directly. </p><p>“Dear Domtendo, I represent Nintendo of America Inc. (“Nintendo”) in intellectual property matters,” the first email began. After a bunch of legalese, Tatsumi eventually explains why he’s reaching out: “I submitted a notice through YouTube’s legal copyright system, but the infringing content still appears.”</p><p>He wouldn’t let it go. </p><p>Domtendo wasn’t about to risk his livelihood just in case Tatsumi was real. He got spooked, and began voluntarily pulling his videos off YouTube. But his new pen pal just kept asking for more removals. Tatsumi reached out day after day, sometimes multiple times a day, according to emails shared with <em>The Verge</em>. The threats got weirder, too:</p><p><strong>October 3rd:</strong></p><div><blockquote><p>I ask for your expeditious removal of all infringing material that use Nintendo Switch game emulators by 6th October 2024. Please note that the amount of videos infringing Nintendo’s copyrights is too high to be able to list them all in this e-mail and we hope that you will conscientiously remove all infringing videos before the next week. </p></blockquote></div><p><strong>October 8th: </strong></p><div><blockquote><p>Nintendo hereby prohibits you from any future use of its intellectual and copyrighted property. Existing content may remain as long as there is no request to remove it. Nintendo of America Inc. would like to avoid further legal action and therefore hopes that their intellectual property will no longer be used by you. This cease-and-desist declaration is valid immediately and has been approved by President of Nintendo of America Doug Spencer Bowser.</p></blockquote></div><p><strong>October 12th:</strong> </p><div><blockquote><p>Nintendo of America Inc. (“Nintendo”) will no longer tolerate this behavior and is now on the verge of filing a lawsuit. Note that we work closely with our subsidiary Nintendo of Europe, located in Germany and therefore already have your address from the time you have been Nintendo Partner and/or will receive your new address from the residents’ registration office.”</p></blockquote></div><p>Domtendo began reaching out to friends and fellow content creators, and discovered he wasn’t alone. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@Waikuteru">Waikuteru</a>, a streamer who develops Zelda mods, had been targeted by Tatsumi as well. Only that time, the takedown notices were filed in Japanese, and YouTube claimed they’d come from a seemingly real email address: <a href="mailto:anti-piracy3@nintendo.co.jp">anti-piracy3@nintendo.co.jp</a>. Whoever submitted those notices claimed to be a “Group Sub-Manager” in Nintendo’s “Intellectual Property Department.” </p><p>Could Tatsumi be legit? Was Domtendo staring down a real threat? </p><p><em>The Verge</em> could find no public record of a Tatsumi Masaaki working for Nintendo of America or Nintendo’s legal team, period. Nintendo did not respond to <em>The Verge</em>’s repeated requests to fact-check whether such a lawyer even exists. </p><p>But there <em>was </em>a person by a similar name <a href="https://patents.google.com/?inventor=Masaaki+Tatsumi);&amp;assignee=Nintendo&amp;oq=inventor:(Masaaki+Tatsumi);+assignee:(Nintendo)">working on Nintendo technology patents</a> in its home country of Japan, public records show, and Domtendo was dismayed to find a Nintendo email address for that person on the public web. </p><div><div><div><div role="button" aria-label="Zoom" tabindex="0"><figure><div><p><span><img alt="This is the name of a real person (真章 辰己) who worked for Nintendo out of Kyoto, Japan, but the company wouldn’t tell The Verge one word about it." src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" decoding="async" data-nimg="fill"/></span></p></div></figure></div></div><div><figcaption><em>This is the name of a real person (</em>真章 辰己) <em>who worked for Nintendo out of Kyoto, Japan</em>, <em>but the company wouldn’t tell The Verge one word about it.</em></figcaption> <p><cite>Image: USPTO</cite></p></div></div></div><p>To a trained eye, there were signs that Domtendo’s “Tatsumi” was probably a fake. What business would a Japanese game technology inventor have individually chasing down a German YouTuber and threatening them with the laws of the United States? If they were a real lawyer, wouldn’t they know that threatening Domtendo with DMCA 512 is laughable, because that’s the portion of the law that protects platforms like YouTube rather than individual creators? </p><p>But Domtendo didn’t want to take the risk, not without proof. His livelihood was at stake. So as Tatsumi’s email threats rolled in, he reached out to Nintendo himself. </p><p>To his great surprise, Nintendo replied. </p><p>“Please note that <a href="mailto:tatsumi-masaaki@protonmail.com">tatsumi-masaaki@protonmail.com</a> is not a legitimate Nintendo email address and the details contained within the communication do not align with Nintendo of America Inc.’s enforcement practices. We are investigating further,” the company’s legal department wrote on October 10th, according to a screenshot shared with <em>The Verge</em>.</p><div><div><div><div role="button" aria-label="Zoom" tabindex="0"><figure><div><p><span><img alt="Here’s how Nintendo replied to Domtendo." src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" decoding="async" data-nimg="fill"/></span></p></div></figure></div></div><p><figcaption><em>Here’s how Nintendo replied to Domtendo.</em></figcaption></p></div></div><p>Even then, Domtendo didn’t feel safe. He’d seen how Waikuteru had received a legal threat that seemingly came from a legitimate Nintendo email. Perhaps Tatsumi just wasn’t using his proper email account? Domtendo tried emailing “tasumi_masaaki@nintendo.co.jp” to find out. </p><p>His anxiety ratcheted even higher when Tatsumi’s next email arrived, asking him not to send email to that address. “Please understand that matters are not currently handled from there,” he wrote. Even though it seemed impossible that Tatsumi could be real, he somehow knew things that he shouldn’t.</p><p>Then, on October 18th, Tatsumi suddenly changed his tune: “Dear Domtendo, I hereby retract all of my preceding claims.”</p><div><div><div><div role="button" aria-label="Zoom" tabindex="0"><figure><div><p><span><img alt="The end?" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" decoding="async" data-nimg="fill"/></span></p></div></figure></div></div><p><figcaption><em>The end?</em></figcaption></p></div></div><p>Tatsumi wasn’t done with Domtendo quite yet. Two more emails arrived the same day, explaining that while Nintendo had “suspended” him from filing copyright infringement claims, his Nintendo colleagues would now file them on his behalf. Hours later, Domtendo received what was in some ways the most legit-looking email yet, seemingly sent from anti-piracy3@nintendo.co.jp rather than a personal email address. </p><p>But that email turned out to be Tatsumi’s undoing, when Domtendo checked the headers and discovered they’d spoofed Nintendo’s email address using a publicly available tool on the web. I took the tool for a spin, and sure enough — <a href="https://support.google.com/mail/answer/29436?hl=en">unless you check</a>, anyone can make an email look like it was sent from Nintendo that way. </p><p>Domtendo still doesn’t understand how “Tatsumi” knew he’d emailed the real Tatsumi at Nintendo. He changed his passwords and reformatted his computer, just to be safe. Today, his best guess is that the troll was lurking in his personal Discord channel. </p><p>He’s angry at YouTube for letting this happen. “It’s their fault,” he tells me. “Every idiot can strike every YouTuber and there is nearly no problem to do so. It’s insane,” he writes. “It has to change NOW.”</p><div><div><p>“Every idiot can strike every YouTuber”</p></div></div><p>It’s true there isn’t a terribly high bar to submit a YouTube copyright claim, something that YouTube itself admits. Currently, bad actors just need to fill in a form on a website, a place where YouTube sees a “10 times higher attempted abuse rate” than tools with more limited access. Or they can just email YouTube’s copyright department directly. And while <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/512#:~:text=Elements%20of%20notification">the law</a> technically requires a copyright holder to provide their name and address and state “under penalty of perjury” that they’re authorized to complain on Nintendo’s behalf, there’s nothing compelling YouTube to check they aren’t lying before slapping creators with penalties. </p><div><div><div><div><div role="button" aria-label="Zoom" tabindex="0"><figure><div><p><span><img alt="Photo collage of Blue shells from Mario Kart launching at an anonymous figure." src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" decoding="async" data-nimg="fill"/></span></p></div></figure></div></div></div><p>Russ Crandall, aka Retro Game Corps, was actually targeted by Nintendo. <a href="https://www.theverge.com/games/24272743/nintendo-retro-game-corps-russ-crandall-profile-youtube-emulation-dmca-takedown-copyright-strike">Here’s the story</a> of  how the Japanese game company (and YouTube) are threatening his livelihood.</p><p>If you have first-hand information about Nintendo, you can reach me securely on Signal at <strong>seanhollister.01</strong>. </p></div></div><p>The thing to remember is the DMCA’s “Safe Harbor” isn’t here to protect creators, EFF legal director Corynne McSherry explained to me in 2022.

-    <h1>Implementing SM-2 in Rust</h1>
-    
-    <div id="readability-page-1" class="page"><article>
-    <p>I’ve been on a <a href="https://borretti.me/article/effective-spaced-repetition">spaced repetition</a> (SR) kick as of late. <a href="https://mochi.cards/">Mochi</a>, the SR software I use, uses a modified version of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperMemo">SuperMemo</a> <a href="https://super-memory.com/english/ol/sm2.htm">SM-2</a> algorithm to schedule cards. The differences are:</p>
-
-<ol>
-  <li>The ease factor (EF) of the cards is not adjusted in response to performance, but can be changed manually. The justification is this avoids a purported problem with SM-2 called <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201127173107/https://massimmersionapproach.com/table-of-contents/anki/low-key-anki/the-ease-factor-problem/">“ease hell”</a>.</li>
-  <li>When you fail a card, the interval to the next review is not reset but <em>halved</em>.</li>
-</ol>
-
-<p>The interval halving I dislike, because sometimes I’ll remember a card for the first couple months, then forget it, and enter this weird limbo state where the reviews are not frequent enough for me to re-learn the card, so I start alternately recalling it and failing it.</p>
-
-<p>But I didn’t understand the implications of the change to the ease factor. So I decided to look into the algorithm. And, since what I do not create, I do not understand, I wrote a simple implementation of it in Rust.</p>
-
-<p>Without further ado, the code is <a href="https://github.com/eudoxia0/sm2">here</a>. What follows is an explanation.</p>
-
-
-
-<p>Why do we need an algorithm? We could drill every card every day, but this would be a living nightmare, and you could not have more than ~200 flashcards. The scheduler acts as a simple, quantitative model of human memory. The better the model, the more we can commit to long-term memory, and the less time we have to spend studying.</p>
-
-<p>An <strong>item</strong> is an atomic piece of knowledge, represented as a flashcard: a question-answer pair that tests the existence of that knowledge. An item’s state is represented by:</p>
-
-<ol>
-  <li>The <strong>easing factor</strong> $EF$, which is the dual of difficulty. This is a real number in the range $[1.3, +\infty]$. The initial value is $2.5$.</li>
-  <li>The number of <strong>repetitions</strong> $n$, which is the number of times the card has been recalled correctly in a row.</li>
-</ol>
-
-<p>From a card’s state, we can calculate its <strong>interval</strong>: the number of days after the most recent test when the item should be reviewed again. The interval calculation is defined by a recurrence relation on the number of repetitions:</p>
-
-\[\begin{align*}
-I(0) &amp;= 0 \\
-I(1) &amp;= 1 \\
-I(2) &amp;= 6 \\
-I(n) &amp;= I(n-1) \times \text{EF}
-\end{align*}\]
-
-<p>The closed-form expression is:</p>
-
-\[I(n) = 6 \times \text{EF}^{(n-2)}\]
-
-<p>As a function of correct repetitions and EF:</p>
-
-<p><img src="https://borretti.me/assets/content/implementing-sm2-in-rust/interval.png" alt="A plot of showing how an item&#39;s interval evolves as a function of the number of correct repetitions, for different values of EF. Higher EF values grow faster."/></p>
-
-<p>To test an item, the user is shown the question, then they mentally recall the answer, and reveal the actual answer. Then the user rates their performance by selecting the <strong>quality</strong> of their response from this list:</p>
-
-<ul>
-  <li>0 = Blackout. No recall.</li>
-  <li>1 = Incorrect response; but the answer, once revealed, was remembered.</li>
-  <li>2 = Incorrect response; but the answer seemed easy to recall.</li>
-  <li>3 = Recalled with difficulty.</li>
-  <li>4 = Recalled with hesitation.</li>
-  <li>5 = Recalled perfectly.</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>Quality values in $[0,2]$ represent <strong>forgetting</strong>.</p>
-
-<p>When an item is tested, and we have a quality, the item’s state has to be updated.</p>
-
-<p>If the user forgot the answer, the repetition count is set to zero. This means the interval, too, is reset: you have to relearn the card from scratch.</p>
-
-\[n&#39;(n, q) = \begin{cases}
-0   &amp; q \in [0,2] \\
-n+1 &amp; \text{otherwise}
-\end{cases}\]
-
-<p>The EF is updated by adding a magnitude proportional to the response quality:</p>
-
-\[\text{EF}&#39;(\text{EF}, q) = min(1.3, \text{EF} + f(q))\]
-
-<p>Where:</p>
-
-\[f(q) = -0.8 + 0.28q - 0.02*q^2\]
-
-<p>Qualitatively, $f(q)$ looks like this:</p>
-
-<p><img src="https://borretti.me/assets/content/implementing-sm2-in-rust/ef.png" alt="A plot showing the magnitude of change to the EF as a function of quality. At q&lt;4, the magnitude is negative, but a minimum change of -0.8 at q=0. At q=4, the magnitude is zero. At q=5, the magnitude is 0.1."/></p>
-
-<p>So for anything less than perfect recall the EF decreases (and so the next interval is shorter), and only perfect recall makes a card less difficult.  At $q=4$ nothing changes.</p>
-
-<p>And so we get ease hell: it is much easier to push EF down, or keep it the same, than to push it up.</p>
-
-<p>The final piece of the algorithm is that, at the end of a review session, all items with quality in $[0, 3]$ should be tested again until all of them have a recall quality in $[4,5]$.</p>
-
-
-
-<p>Scalar types:</p>
-
-<div><div><pre><code><span>pub</span> <span>type</span> <span>Repetitions</span> <span>=</span> <span>u32</span><span>;</span>
-<span>pub</span> <span>type</span> <span>Ease</span> <span>=</span> <span>f32</span><span>;</span>
-<span>pub</span> <span>type</span> <span>Interval</span> <span>=</span> <span>u32</span><span>;</span>
-</code></pre></div></div>
-
-<p>Normally I would use newtypes with smart constructors to represent types with ranges (e.g. EF has a minimum value of 1.3). But this would make the code uglier, so instead I just wrote:</p>
-
-<div><div><pre><code><span>pub</span> <span>const</span> <span>INITIAL_EF</span><span>:</span> <span>Ease</span> <span>=</span> <span>2.5</span><span>;</span>
-<span>const</span> <span>MIN_EF</span><span>:</span> <span>Ease</span> <span>=</span> <span>1.3</span><span>;</span>
-
-<span>fn</span> <span>min</span><span>(</span><span>ef</span><span>:</span> <span>Ease</span><span>)</span> <span>-&gt;</span> <span>Ease</span> <span>{</span>
-    <span>if</span> <span>ef</span> <span>&lt;</span> <span>MIN_EF</span> <span>{</span>
-        <span>MIN_EF</span>
-    <span>}</span> <span>else</span> <span>{</span>
-        <span>ef</span>
-    <span>}</span>
-<span>}</span>
-</code></pre></div></div>
-
-<p>Quality is naturally represented as an enum:</p>
-
-<div><div><pre><code><span>#[derive(Debug,</span> <span>Copy,</span> <span>Clone,</span> <span>PartialEq)]</span>
-<span>pub</span> <span>enum</span> <span>Quality</span> <span>{</span>
-    <span>/// Complete blackout.</span>
-    <span>Blackout</span> <span>=</span> <span>0</span><span>,</span>
-    <span>/// Incorrect response; the correct one remembered.</span>
-    <span>Incorrect</span> <span>=</span> <span>1</span><span>,</span>
-    <span>/// Incorrect response; where the correct one seemed easy to recall.</span>
-    <span>IncorrectEasy</span> <span>=</span> <span>2</span><span>,</span>
-    <span>/// Correct response recalled with serious difficulty.</span>
-    <span>Hard</span> <span>=</span> <span>3</span><span>,</span>
-    <span>/// Correct response after a hesitation.</span>
-    <span>Good</span> <span>=</span> <span>4</span><span>,</span>
-    <span>/// Perfect response.</span>
-    <span>Perfect</span> <span>=</span> <span>5</span><span>,</span>
-<span>}</span>
-</code></pre></div></div>
-
-<p>With two predicates, to test whether this quality value implies the forgetting, and whether the item needs to be repeated at the end of the session:</p>
-
-<div><div><pre><code><span>impl</span> <span>Quality</span> <span>{</span>
-    <span>pub</span> <span>fn</span> <span>forgot</span><span>(</span><span>self</span><span>)</span> <span>-&gt;</span> <span>bool</span> <span>{</span>

-    <span>}</span>

-        <span>}</span>
-    <span>}</span>
-<span>}</span>
-</code></pre></div></div>
-
-<p>An item’s state is just its values of $n$ and $\text{EF}$ (exact due date timestamps would be implemented outside the system):</p>
-
-<div><div><pre><code><span>pub</span> <span>struct</span> <span>Item</span> <span>{</span>

-<span>}</span>
-</code></pre></div></div>
-
-<p>Given an item, we can calculate its interval:</p>
-
-<div><div><pre><code><span>impl</span> <span>Item</span> <span>{</span>
-    <span>pub</span> <span>fn</span> <span>interval</span><span>(</span><span>&amp;</span><span>self</span><span>)</span> <span>-&gt;</span> <span>Interval</span> <span>{</span>

-<p>The mission operations team at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland received the signal just before midnight EST, on the night of Dec. 26. The team was out of contact with the spacecraft during closest approach, which occurred on Dec. 24, with Parker Solar Probe zipping just 3.8 million miles from the solar surface while moving about 430,000 miles per hour.</p>
-<p>The spacecraft is expected to send back detailed telemetry data on its status on Jan. 1.</p>
-<p>This close-up study of the Sun allows Parker Solar Probe to take measurements that help scientists better understand how material in this region gets heated to millions of degrees, trace the origin of the solar wind (a continuous flow of material escaping the Sun), and discover how energetic particles are accelerated to near light speed. Previous close passes have helped scientists pinpoint the origins of structures in the solar wind and map the outer boundary of the Sun’s atmosphere.</p>
-<p>Parker Solar Probe was developed as part of NASA’s Living With a Star program to explore aspects of the Sun-Earth system that directly affect life and society. The Living With a Star program is managed by the agency’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. APL designed, built, and operates the spacecraft and manages the mission for NASA.</p>

+    <h1>Should more of us be moving to live near friends?</h1>
+    
+    <div id="readability-page-1" class="page"><div data-testid="ArticlePageChunks"><div><div><div data-journey-hook="client-content" data-testid="BodyWrapper"><div><p>25 years ago, Toby Rush and his friend group at Kansas State University received some valuable advice from elder mentors that would shape their entire adult lives. “They gave us this thought that resonated so profoundly: Go ask any 80-year-old who’s lived a good life to reflect on what really mattered, and almost every single one of them will say it’s not the car, it’s not the house, not where I live, the job title, or the amount of money I made,” he recalls. “It’s people, the relationships. Their challenge to us was to invest often and deeply over a long period of time in the treasure we’re going to care the most about, and we’d be the wealthiest people in the world.” Today, he and his friends are all neighbors. In their enclave of the <a href="https://www.architecturaldigest.com/gallery/heidi-gardner-inside-the-snl-stars-midcentury-disco-fantasy" target="_blank">Kansas City</a> metro area, they share a lawnmower, a pool, casual babysitting duties, a text thread for grocery borrowing dubbed “Who’s Got an Egg?,” and effortless swaths of their lives together that would likely have been impossible if not for an intentional effort to keep in close contact by remaining close by.</p><p>The world has a way of pulling at friendships forged in youth. We form easy ties with kindergarten confidants, neighborhood playmates, and college pals, but relocating for jobs, love, whatever it may be (even when it’s just a short distance away) can sever the strongest of bonds, over years of increasingly dry text chains and overnight with cross-country moves that shake up the world you built together. It’s true that there’s a normalized-to-the-point-of-somewhat-inevitable distancing that happens in friendships with regular life changes, like in the case of the stereotypical buddy who drops out of their social circle the second they marry or have a kid. But studies suggest we’re in more perilous times than previous generations when it comes to sustaining friendships.</p><h2>The loneliness epidemic</h2><p>For the unfamiliar, the “<a href="https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/surgeon-general-social-connection-advisory.pdf" target="_blank">loneliness epidemic</a>” is not simply a term thrown around on blogs and internet forums but a broader societal issue on which even <a href="https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2023/05/03/new-surgeon-general-advisory-raises-alarm-about-devastating-impact-epidemic-loneliness-isolation-united-states.html" target="_blank">the US Surgeon General has sounded off</a>. The phenomenon seems to have descended slowly like a fog <a data-offer-url="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/20/nyregion/loneliness-epidemic.html" data-event-click="{&#34;element&#34;:&#34;ExternalLink&#34;,&#34;outgoingURL&#34;:&#34;https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/20/nyregion/loneliness-epidemic.html&#34;}" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/20/nyregion/loneliness-epidemic.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">throughout the late 2010s</a> as our lives became increasingly digital and siloed. It’s also being called a <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/why-a-growing-number-of-american-men-say-they-are-in-a-friendship-recession" target="_blank">friendship recession</a>. As one might expect, the COVID-19 pandemic made matters worse. Nearly 1 in 10 Americans reported having lost touch with most of their friends throughout COVID, <a data-offer-url="https://www.americansurveycenter.org/research/the-state-of-american-friendship-change-challenges-and-loss/#:~:text=Nearly%20half%20(47%20percent)%20of,more%20affected%20than%20most%20were." data-event-click="{&#34;element&#34;:&#34;ExternalLink&#34;,&#34;outgoingURL&#34;:&#34;https://www.americansurveycenter.org/research/the-state-of-american-friendship-change-challenges-and-loss/#:~:text=Nearly%20half%20(47%20percent)%20of,more%20affected%20than%20most%20were.&#34;}" href="https://www.americansurveycenter.org/research/the-state-of-american-friendship-change-challenges-and-loss/#:~:text=Nearly%20half%20(47%20percent)%20of,more%20affected%20than%20most%20were." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">per a 2021 study</a>.</p></div></div></div></div><div><div><div data-journey-hook="client-content" data-testid="BodyWrapper"><div><figure></figure><p>Rush and his friend group felt that routine deterioration at work in the time after college when everyone starts to scatter; he moved to Houston for a few years, one friend went to Wichita, and another decamped to DC. It was the late ’90s, long before Zooms and group chats, and the friends reconvened a few times a year before concluding it simply wasn’t enough. “We were having these conversations, like: ‘Guys, this is just not sustainable. We’ll always be friends, but if we really want to invest and know each other deeply, we got to be in the same city,’” he remembers. “So within probably a nine-month period, three or four of us moved back to Kansas City. And it was awesome.”</p><p>The tight proximity fortified their ties over a couple of years. And then came the children. When their individual lives were overtaken by little humans with big demands on their time, Rush and his friends sensed that familiar erosion on the horizon. “We could see the trajectory that not even in the too distant future, we were going to have to schedule our friendships, and that didn’t feel right,” he says. At first, the concept of stepping up their commitment by moving even closer—within walking distance of each other—sounded too dreamy to be a real possibility. But it would make theirs as uncomplicated as college campus friendships are, when you can bump into your besties as you leave the dorms and catch up on the way to class. So, 18 years ago, he and his buddy bought homes on either side of their other friend. “When you literally see each other as you’re pulling in your driveway, or mowing your lawn, or playing with your kids in the front yard, to walk across the street is a very achievable friction point,” Rush says of the arrangement.</p></div></div></div></div><div><div><div data-journey-hook="client-content" data-testid="BodyWrapper"><div><p>In terms of the real estate, the acquisition of properties has been smooth. “It’s gotten to the point now where a neighbor will come and say, ‘Hey, we’re looking at moving and would rather not get a realtor. We know you like to buy the houses, would you guys want to buy our house?’ And we’re like, ‘Sure!’ We’ll do what a realtor would do and find a bunch of comps and settle on [a price], but no one pays realtor fees and it’s very amicable.” 14 houses are now in the fold, filled with friends, friends of friends, and their families. Rush’s children and their neighborhood peers have essentially been raised together—he estimates that number at 34 or 35 kids, many of whom are all grown up now. The deep investment in friendship modeled by their parents is a value that is not lost on the generations that have followed.</p><p>“All they’ve ever known is families that have open doors,” Rush explains. “My son was one of the oldest. There are three his age in the neighborhood and they’ve all come back and said, ‘This isn’t normal, is it?’ My son was recently hanging out with another one of my friends—one of the cool things is when you get to mentor your friends’ kids—and my friend Scott asked him about his fears at this point in his life. He responded really authentically, ‘I’m afraid I won’t have as good of friends as my dad, you, and the others.’ Your kids are going to value what you value, so it was very rewarding for me to hear my kid, unprompted, say, ‘I see that Dad and Mom value these relationships and these friends. And I want that.’”</p><h2>Build your own “MiniHood”</h2><p>Oakland-based founder Phil Levin placed the value of friendship pretty high on his own list. About four years into intentionally residing in community with his friends on a compound they named Radish, he launched <a data-offer-url="https://livenearfriends.com/" data-event-click="{&#34;element&#34;:&#34;ExternalLink&#34;,&#34;outgoingURL&#34;:&#34;https://livenearfriends.com/&#34;}" href="https://livenearfriends.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Live Near Friends</a> in 2023 to spread the gospel. The online platform is geared toward helping interested parties arrange to live within a five or 10 minute walk of each other, which Levin notes is “a very <a data-offer-url="https://www.vox.com/even-better/354903/it-shouldnt-be-so-hard-to-live-near-your-friends" data-event-click="{&#34;element&#34;:&#34;ExternalLink&#34;,&#34;outgoingURL&#34;:&#34;https://www.vox.com/even-better/354903/it-shouldnt-be-so-hard-to-live-near-your-friends&#34;}" href="https://www.vox.com/even-better/354903/it-shouldnt-be-so-hard-to-live-near-your-friends" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">common fantasy</a>” nowadays. He hopes to be the catalyst that coaxes those fantasies out of the group chat into the real world of <a href="https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/what-people-wish-they-knew-before-pivoting-into-real-estate" target="_blank">real estate</a>.</p></div></div></div></div><div><div><div data-journey-hook="client-content" data-testid="BodyWrapper"><div><figure><p><span><p>An illustrated layout of the spread at Levin’s Radish compound.</p>
+</span><span>Courtesy of Phil Levin</span></p></figure><p>The first offering of Live Near Friends is called MiniHood, which Levin likens to a multiplayer version of <a href="https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/meet-the-zillionaires-who-bought-homes-off-zillow-gone-wild" target="_blank">Zillow</a>. “You set a radius inside of which you’re trying to get everyone to move, so you’re able to coordinate with them, view homes—some people want to rent, some people want to buy, it allows you to [factor in] both,” he says. The other option is Hot Friend Compounds, which helps friends seeking real estate set up for multiple occupants on a single plot. “This is targeted to people that actually want to co-buy and own a property together,” Levin explains. “This might look like duplexes, triplexes, homes with <a href="https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/why-the-granny-flat-is-the-next-big-home-amenity" target="_blank">granny flats</a>, <a href="https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/accessory-dwelling-unit-housing-of-the-future" target="_blank">ADUs</a>. There’s real estate out there in the wild for multiple occupants. You have your apartment, I have my apartment, but they’re right next to each other and maybe we share a yard.”</p><p>Levin’s 20 closest friends are, because of Radish, his closest friends by physical proximity. Most of them have dinner together six days a week. They put in a big Instacart order every few days and split the cost of food. Levin basically doesn’t cook anymore, finding that his talents are better suited to the cleanup aspect of things. It’s not been hard for others to see the appeal of such a setup. “I think why we’re seeing a lot of interest in [Live Near Friends], partly, is the loneliness epidemic,” Levin explains. “I’ve heard it called the National Deficit of Hanging Out—people just not spending time together. The amount of coordination and logistics to actually spend time with people these days is a <em>lot</em>. But I think, on the other side of it, people are looking for better ways to start families and raise kids. Traditionally, this has been done with the support of a community. I think it’s a really hard thing to do alone.”</p></div></div></div></div><div><div><div data-journey-hook="client-content" data-testid="BodyWrapper"><div><figure><p><span><p>The alfresco dining setup at Radish.</p>
+</span><span>Photo: Courtesy of Phil Levin</span></p></figure><h2>Kids (or no kids) in community</h2><p>One of the initial motivators that pushed Levin to convince his friends to live nearby has been the abundant access to childcare. “My wife and I were trying to create the best home for ourselves, the home that we want to have kids [in], and we were thinking, ‘What’s the most important thing? That we’re around people that will support us,’” he insists. “We can—without planning—hand someone a baby monitor and go out every single night without a babysitter, which is a radically different lifestyle than that of most new parents. It’s not something that cost us a lot of money, just coordination.”</p><p>Relying only on our standard social unit, the nuclear family, can feel isolating for many people. Levin co-writes a blog with Gillian Morris called <a data-offer-url="https://supernuclear.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=web&amp;utm_campaign=substack_profile" data-event-click="{&#34;element&#34;:&#34;ExternalLink&#34;,&#34;outgoingURL&#34;:&#34;https://supernuclear.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=web&amp;utm_campaign=substack_profile&#34;}" href="https://supernuclear.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=web&amp;utm_campaign=substack_profile" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Supernuclear</a>, which explores an expansion of that classic lens on domestic life via profiles on co-living houses and communities. Morris, who has resided in a number of co-living arrangements in the Bay Area and NYC, and currently runs a co-living space in Puerto Rico, is no stranger to discussions about <a data-offer-url="https://www.esquire.com/lifestyle/a61536364/one-friend-in-one-month/" data-event-click="{&#34;element&#34;:&#34;ExternalLink&#34;,&#34;outgoingURL&#34;:&#34;https://www.esquire.com/lifestyle/a61536364/one-friend-in-one-month/&#34;}" href="https://www.esquire.com/lifestyle/a61536364/one-friend-in-one-month/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">the loneliness epidemic</a>. She worries that an <a data-offer-url="https://time.com/6269091/individualism-ahead-of-the-common-good-for-too-long/" data-event-click="{&#34;element&#34;:&#34;ExternalLink&#34;,&#34;outgoingURL&#34;:&#34;https://time.com/6269091/individualism-ahead-of-the-common-good-for-too-long/&#34;}" href="https://time.com/6269091/individualism-ahead-of-the-common-good-for-too-long/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">emphasis on an individualistic, independent ideal</a> is pulling snags in a social fabric that benefits all parties mutually. In fact, she’s seen this resistance firsthand when folks in her co-living spaces express hesitance about accepting babysitting help pro-bono. “There’s this sense that we must do everything ourselves, and I actually think it’s a beautiful thing to open yourself up to help and to not turn it down when it’s offered,” Morris says. “But people just need to get over that hump.”</p></div></div></div></div><div><div><div data-journey-hook="client-content" data-testid="BodyWrapper"><div><p>For UK-based journalist Rose Stokes, doing motherhood alongside her longtime best friend Maddie was a <a data-offer-url="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/uk/health/a45299579/moved-best-friend/" data-event-click="{&#34;element&#34;:&#34;ExternalLink&#34;,&#34;outgoingURL&#34;:&#34;https://www.womenshealthmag.com/uk/health/a45299579/moved-best-friend/&#34;}" href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/uk/health/a45299579/moved-best-friend/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">huge influence</a> on the decision to trade in the hustle and bustle of London for slower-paced Bath, England. “Your friendships are just as important, if not more so, than your romantic relationships. So why wouldn’t I invest in a relationship that’s sustained me my entire life?” she says. “Why wouldn’t I want to move to support that relationship?”</p><p>Even a three hours’ drive or so away, Stokes and her best friend never grew apart. They stayed in touch via check-ins and goodnight texts, cheering each other from the sidelines as they celebrated major events and life updates. But now, as they each raise two children in the countryside, she echoes Rush’s point about the total lack of friction in coming together. “It’s just so effortless,” she says of the Bath era of her friendship with Maddie. “When you are texting someone who’s not [living] in your orbit, you have to explain loads of context. Now, I hear much more about the kind of banal details and the day-to-day. It creates a stronger sense of intimacy because it enables me to see the fullness of her life rather than just the things that she felt made the headlines.”</p><div data-testid="external-link-embed--inline"><div><p><a aria-label="Join Now" data-event-click="{&#34;element&#34;:&#34;ExternalLink&#34;,&#34;outgoingURL&#34;:&#34;https://www.architecturaldigest.com/v2/offers/adp-edit?source=SITE_0_ADP_EDT_SITE_0_ARD_ARTICLE_TOUT_SALE_2024_ZZ&#34;}" href="https://www.architecturaldigest.com/v2/offers/adp-edit?source=SITE_0_ADP_EDT_SITE_0_ARD_ARTICLE_TOUT_SALE_2024_ZZ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span>Join Now</span></a></p><p>Holiday Sale: Become an AD PRO member for only <strong><del>$20</del> $12 per month</strong></p><svg focusable="false" viewBox="0 0 32 32" width="32" height="32" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><title>Arrow</title><path fill-rule="evenodd" clip-rule="evenodd" d="M29.06 16 15.53 2.47l-1.06 1.06 11.72 11.72H2v1.5h24.19L14.47 28.47l1.06 1.06L29.06 16Z"></path></svg></div><a aria-label="Join Now" data-event-click="{&#34;element&#34;:&#34;ExternalLink&#34;,&#34;outgoingURL&#34;:&#34;https://www.architecturaldigest.com/v2/offers/adp-edit?source=SITE_0_ADP_EDT_SITE_0_ARD_ARTICLE_TOUT_SALE_2024_ZZ&#34;}" href="https://www.architecturaldigest.com/v2/offers/adp-edit?source=SITE_0_ADP_EDT_SITE_0_ARD_ARTICLE_TOUT_SALE_2024_ZZ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><picture><img alt="" src="https://media.architecturaldigest.com/photos/5d8919b4a8aab30008abac21/1:1/pass/ad-pro.jpg" srcset="" sizes="100vw"/></picture></a></div><p>Having a network to lean on while raising children is an obvious selling point of living near friends. But the community that grows out of raising a kid—a circle of parents and guardians that you befriend by virtue of having a common daycare, school, and playdates or sports to coordinate—can also form through being neighbors with your best buddies. During the pandemic, Paris Smith and her partner left Brooklyn for Twin Cities, Minnesota, where a number of their pals had recently relocated, in large part “because of the fact that we are child-free adults,” she says. Her partner’s family lives about an hour away from the area, which was another incentive, but the friendship component was “critical.”</p><p>“My family is based in New Orleans. I don’t know anybody else in New Orleans, and so as much as I love my family and as much as my partner and I love his family, the family wasn’t enough for us,” Smith explains. “We’re very independent and social, and so I think we would be lonely in an environment where we didn’t have a lot of friends. It isn’t enough to sustain my personal social battery and fulfillment; I gain a lot of joy out of being with my friends and spending time with them and their families and being spontaneous about how we hang out. I don’t think there would’ve been a reason for us to leave New York without having all of those factors come together.”</p></div></div></div></div><div><div><div data-journey-hook="client-content" data-testid="BodyWrapper"><div><p>Smith and her partner’s Brooklyn-based buddies flocked to Minneapolis and St. Paul over the course of about seven years, either for work, grad school, jobs, or simply to return to their Midwestern roots. “We suddenly had this group of six or seven people that we had known for many years that were all in this bubble,” she says. “Here was this little oasis where a lot of folks are within walking distance to each other and have yards and can all gather and hang out. We were able to find a house that is literally two blocks down the same street as one of our really good friends. We’re a five-minute walk to another couple that we’re friends with, and then a seven-minute walk to another couple we’re friends with. We all live along the same three streets. And in this time, we’ve recruited friends from Colorado to come join us.</p><figure><p><span>Illustration: Lizzie Soufleris</span></p></figure><h2>Recruiting your besties</h2><p>This type of residential recruitment is a full-time job for Priya Rose. “Fractal is my main hustle,” she says of her Brooklyn-based network, which she launched shortly after the pandemic. “It’s a social scene with many nodes. It started as a bunch of apartments, all in the same building, of friends who just hung out all the time, did projects all the time, worked out together, et cetera. Now, it’s a lot of things. We have something called Fractal University, which is basically us teaching each other classes from our living rooms. And then there’s all these different co-living houses that are all around New York now. Each of those is their own social center, in some ways.” Rose recently moved from her spot at the original Fractal building to Fractal 2, which has a slightly more family-friendly bent to it—an even more ideal setting for her after having a baby this year.</p></div></div></div></div><div><div><div data-journey-hook="client-content" data-testid="BodyWrapper"><div><p>Similar to Morris, Rose previously lived in the Bay Area, where the co-living scene is abuzz. In 2021, after moving into a three-bedroom New York apartment with friends, a vacancy in the unit across the hall presented an opportunity. “We happened to have another friend who was trying to move from San Francisco to New York at the time, so we helped her sign that lease. It was a four-bedroom, so we helped her fill those rooms. At that point, it was like <a href="https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/how-the-friends-sets-transcended-television" target="_blank"><em>Friends</em></a>. We would just leave our doors unlocked and go between them.” So, Rose dug deeper and deeper into organizing the community over the next few years. She’s gone semi-viral <a data-offer-url="https://prigoose.substack.com/p/how-to-live-near-your-friends" data-event-click="{&#34;element&#34;:&#34;ExternalLink&#34;,&#34;outgoingURL&#34;:&#34;https://prigoose.substack.com/p/how-to-live-near-your-friends&#34;}" href="https://prigoose.substack.com/p/how-to-live-near-your-friends" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">singing the praises of living near friends</a> and has sold numerous pals on the lifestyle. Like Rush, Stokes, and Smith, she points out the natural ease of linking up to hang out when the need to “make plans” is replaced by casually bumping into each other.</p><p>“The sense of serendipity [is a major benefit],” Rose says. “Before I was in this situation, it was a lot of, ‘Let’s get coffee next Tuesday at 7:00.’ Now that’s just way less common. It feels a lot more like being in school. You just can spontaneously hang out with people… As an adult, there’s a lot of drudgery—you go to the grocery store, you do your laundry.

Levin, too, laughs off comparisons to a commune tinged with the darkness of every negative commune stereotype—though by definition, he admits that Radish kind of fits. “They are [communes], so part of that’s true,” he says of such co-living arrangements. “But it’s an urban commune. Most of us have great jobs and we all have private space.

It doesn’t solve the world’s problems, that’s not the claim. It’s a better way to live, alongside a bunch of people that [you] think really matter, especially in busy, hard, or lonely periods.”</p></div></div></div></div><div><div><div data-journey-hook="client-content" data-testid="BodyWrapper"><div><p>The good and bad times of life will happen anywhere, but the prospect of living in walking distance of your best friends certainly seems…well, maybe just a <em>little bit</em> utopian? “It’s like you have your own trusted network of folks that can assist and provide support to one another—whether that’s a folding table or our friends that live seven minutes away watching our dog this weekend,” Smith adds. “It is a real extended family in a way that is beautiful to see. I kind of wish it for everyone.”</p><figure></figure></div></div></div></div></div></div>

+
+
+<p>A massive data leak involving over 800,000 Volkswagen electric vehicles (EVs) has left sensitive user information, including location data and personal contact details, unprotected on the internet. Discovered by a whistleblower and reported by Der Spiegel, the breach highlights significant security shortcomings at VW’s software subsidiary Cariad, exposing vulnerabilities in modern vehicle data handling.</p>
+
+
+
+<h3 id="h-gps-locations-exposed">GPS locations exposed</h3>
+
+
+
+<p>The data breach, which remained unnoticed by VW for months, involved precise GPS data and personal information linked to owners of VW, Audi, Seat, and Škoda vehicles. Stored on an unprotected Amazon Cloud server, this dataset allowed anyone with basic technical skills to access:</p>
+
+
+
+<ul>
+<li>Detailed location logs showing exactly where and when cars were parked.</li>
+
+
+
+<li>Personal information of owners, such as names, email addresses, and phone numbers.</li>
+
+
+
+<li>Insights into users’ routines, workplaces, leisure spots, and even sensitive visits, such as government offices, hospitals, and private establishments.</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+
+<p>This exposed data posed risks for exploitation by criminals, espionage actors, or hackers, according to Linus Neumann of the Chaos Computer Club (CCC), who equated the situation to leaving “a massive keychain under a flimsy doormat.”</p>
+
+
+
+<p>The breach impacted not only individual users but also institutional entities. <a href="https://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/web/volkswagen-konzern-datenleck-wir-wissen-wo-dein-auto-steht-a-e12d33d0-97bc-493c-96d1-aa5892861027" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Der Spiegel&#39;s report</a> highlights the following cases:</p>
+
+
+
+<ol>
+<li>Politician Nadja Weippert, a member of the Green Party and privacy advocate, discovered her movements were meticulously recorded and linked to identifiable personal details. She described the situation as “shocking.”</li>
+
+
+
+<li>Markus Grübel, a CDU Bundestag member, expressed similar concerns, noting the event undermines trust in the auto industry.</li>
+
+
+
+<li>The Hamburg Police, with 35 EVs in their fleet, were among the affected parties.</li>
+</ol>
+
+
+
+<p>Data from several countries, including Germany, Israel, and Ukraine, was accessible. In some cases, the GPS data was precise to within 10 centimeters.</p>
+
+
+
+<h3 id="h-cariad-s-response"><strong>Cariad’s Response</strong></h3>
+
+
+
+<p>In response to the breach, Cariad, Volkswagen’s software arm, acknowledged the issue, stating that the Chaos Computer Club (CCC) had pointed out a misconfiguration in two IT applications on November 26, 2024. The company acted promptly to close the vulnerability the same day. The misconfiguration, which had allowed access to pseudonymized vehicle data, no longer exists.</p>
+
+
+
+<p>Cariad emphasized that the data involved was not sensitive personal information like passwords or payment details, and no vehicles or services were impacted. Only certain vehicle data from online-connected cars were affected. The company also confirmed that no unauthorized third-party access occurred, and they have reported the incident to relevant authorities.</p>
+
+
+
+<p>Cariad clarified that the data, such as charging behavior and habits, was anonymized and used to improve future vehicle features, such as battery and charging software. No personal user profiles were created, and customers had the option to disable online services at any time.</p>
+
+
+
+<p>VW assured customers that all data processing is conducted in compliance with legal requirements and customer consent, with strong privacy measures in place, including data separation, pseudonymization, and strict data usage limits.</p>
+
+
+
+<p>However, this latest security lapse at Volkswagen underscores an ongoing pattern of systemic vulnerabilities in the company’s IT infrastructure and data handling practices.</p>
+
+
+
+<h3 id="h-vw-s-security-failures">VW&#39;s security failures</h3>
+
+
+
+<p>Similar concerns have been raised in past reports, including <a href="https://cyberinsider.com/vw-and-audi-customers-exposed-for-years-by-dealership-software-bug/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a 20-year flaw</a> in dealership software that exposed customer data, a five-year <a href="https://cyberinsider.com/chinese-hackers-breached-into-german-carmaker-vw-for-five-years/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">espionage operation</a> by Chinese hackers targeting VW’s intellectual property, and critical <a href="https://cyberinsider.com/volkswagen-and-skoda-flaws-allow-engine-disruption-and-owner-data-theft/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">vulnerabilities in vehicle systems</a> that allowed remote engine disruption and data theft. Collectively, these incidents highlight the urgent need for VW and other automakers to prioritize cybersecurity as a foundational aspect of their digital and connected services.</p>

+<li>this is the one in which i decide whether i&#39;m moving platform from this bearblog to ghost or beehiiv or what. i DO want to take writing more seriously, but i was thinking more &#34;edited, and in other people&#39;s publications&#34;. i fucking love being edited. the issues with substack are getting louder every day, but do i want to directly monetise my writing on my own platform at this stage? i wish there was a way to send a newsletter completely for free (and that bearblog had maybe one or two more of my pet features). if i could get an editor-for-hire who wasn&#39;t way out of &#34;giving writing away&#34; budget, i would be so up for that. tell your friends who edit words?</li>
+<li>i think i maybe just join more tipping platforms and ask for tips more, and keep just writing what i write on here?? I don&#39;t really like newsletters for what I&#39;m doing currently, but I get the value of knowing how to get the attention of people who like your stuff. I&#39;m gonna make a big push to try and put out one non-weeknotes thing a week at least next year (plus weeknotes, obviously), whether writing or video or podcast or something else BUT how do i keep the attention of my obviously rapt, growing, amazing audience? who knows, i will figure it out. nerds can subscribe to the <a href="https://olu.online/feed">rss feed</a>, i am <a href="https://olu.online/contact">contactable</a> on all the social medias, but i do get the one to one thing. do i have to set up a patreon? or a discord? i welcome opinions and advice.</li>
+<li>gonna try and finish <a href="https://piccalil.li/complete-css/">complete css</a> by the time i get back to work, i have decided. i&#39;m also trying a bit of rust. look at me, coding!</li>
+<li>it&#39;s the most wonderful time of the year, and i&#39;m really glad i don&#39;t have to do any work until january 6th. if you want to hang out, virtually or nah, hit me up now is an excellent time.</li>
+<li>debating whether posts on social media that are short videos count towards to my one artifact a week thing, but we&#39;ll see. i find short video hard cos i feel wooden if i script, and forget what i&#39;m trying to say if i don&#39;t.</li>
+<li>i&#39;m also pissed because whatever spell capacities had on me, for a year and a fucking bit, has finally broken. i feel like i need to move back to obsidian, cos i want to have my longer form writing be like, feasible to actually write where i take my notes, which isn&#39;t currently true in capacities. maybe i have to suck it up and content-thinking and planning-thinking live in different apps, but i refuse for now and will see where i end up. not being able to pre-populate a past and future time period (year/quarter/week/etc) without using a plugin is annoying me so much, but we move, i tell myself. i had to do that manually in capacities anyway which had no templating, so why does it even annoy me?!</li>
+<li>made amazing pizza with a friend. it had fancy deli meat and radicchio and homemade pizza sauce that was slightly sweet, and it was banging, i thought i kinda hated bitter things. also non-coca-cola cheap cola bangs but in a different way to true coke, i will try them more often i think. what even is cola flavouring? she&#39;s mysterious and elusive. dare i say dashing??</li>
+<li>i have been neglecting <a href="https://notes.olu.online">my digital garden</a> but maybe now i&#39;m back in obsidian i can work in there?? or maybe that&#39;s the solution to my notes issue, go really hard on notes and thinking in there and leave capacities alone? 🤔🤔🤔</li>
+<li>my word for 2025 is greathearted which will inform my word for each quarter, can&#39;t remember if i&#39;ve told youse that.</li>
+<li>i feel like i&#39;m really clear on what i want this year without a big chunk of planning, but i also want conflicting things e.g. fancy sleeve tattoo vs. saving a big emergency fund.</li>
+<li>since i guess i won&#39;t write another thing on here weeknotes wise till after xmas i hope you all have a fantastic one if you celebrate, and a great day otherwise too! happy solstice for tomorrow, even if you don&#39;t celebrate it too (brighter days are coming, northern hemisphere! the hateful sun is going back in her cage, southern hemisphere!) xo</li>
