> For people asking how other countries do things, I was fairly impressed with the Danish system. Everyone, resident or citizen, is issued a number akin to SSN. It's on your health card and I think your residence permit if you're a foreigner as well. But they are also issued a second item, sent to the address you use to register your person number, which is basically a one-time pad. It's a card with a list of around 100 pairs of numbers.
> Every time you interact with the government, or bank online, you sign in and the system gives you a number. The number will match the first half of one of the pairs on your card. You have to respond with the other half of the pair. The cards have no identifying information on them, so if you lose the card it's not of use to anyone else. And when you run out of numbers, they send a new one to your address but with no other info on it.

> In 1945, as World War II was ending, an outhouse was built for the exclusive use of Allied leaders Harry Truman, Joseph Stalin, and Winston Churchill at the Potsdam Conference. It’s first occupant was Stalin, who emerged and asked his aide (in Russian), “Who is Kilroy?”
