  1. Ben–what value/lessons are you offering in publishing millionaire interviews?
    There seem to be two every week (widely separated on your list), and it’s hard to see how any of them have any bearing on people working in japan.
    Am I missing something?

    1. Like any of the links, they are things I read that I thought were interesting or useful 🙂
      The Monday Read is basically a recap of all the links posted to the Facebook page in chronological order…

  2. Just to point out announcing the length of your password vastly decreases its security. Of course 64 characters is virtually impossible to crack, but now we know not to bother with 63 or 65… and based on your link it’s probably a sentence of some kind and lacking in special characters too which gives us a good start narrowing it down. One step closer to overthrowing the RetireJapan empire, mwahaha!

  3. #21. Finally made it thru the list, and last was best!
    re: passwords–look up diceware for an interesting strategy.
