After I posted on my leave plans on Sunday, a few of you asked what was on my reading list, so I am sharing some books I have read / am reading / or hope to read. Three of the books are available from the National Library Singapore. Do check out the NLB app (iOS: https://go.gov.sg/moiqhc | Android: https://go.gov.sg/hu17bc). It is a marvellous resource, and you will definitely be able to discover many books to suit your interests.
[ Nuclear Folly, a History of the Cuban Missile Crisis
by Serhii Plokhy ]
The Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. I had read "13 Days", the short memoir by Robert Kennedy about it as a teenager, and later Graham Allison's "Essence of Decision", a seminal study using the Crisis to analyse decision making from different perspectives. Both were mainly based on US records. Plokhy's book draws on Soviet archives, to present events from both the US and Soviet points of view. Many mistakes were made on both sides. The saving grace was that both President John Kennedy and General Secretary Nikita Khrushchev desperately wanted to avoid a nuclear war. But even then the two sides avoided a nuclear exchange only by a hair’s breadth, and only by chance, because events once set in motion were no longer entirely within the two leaders' control. A gripping read.
[ The Bilingual Brain, and what it tells us about the science of language
by Albert Costa ]
Having learnt several languages myself, and grappled with our bilingualism policy in schools, this book was a natural choice. I am still reading it. Did you know that a newborn infant already recognises and prefers the language (or languages) which their mother spoke while they were in her womb, and within hours of birth can also distinguish between two different languages that they have never heard before? Infants pick up a language (or two) naturally in their first years, but learning a second or third language later in life is much harder. This book explains why.
[ Capturing Light, the Heart of Photography
by Michael Freeman ]
A book about the different sorts of light, how they influence the photo you take, and how to use them to create the effect and mood that you want. Photographers know about the golden hour and blue hour, hard light and soft light, direct and indirect lighting, front and back lighting, haze, mist and fog, and so many more variations. The book includes lots of the author’s photos illustrating his points, taken over many years. Hope to pick up something from reading it. But the key in photography (as in so many other skills) is to practise and practise, if you want to improve.
[ Bettering Humanomics, A New, and Old, Approach to Economic Science
by Deidre Nansen McCloskey ]
The author, a distinguished economist, argues that economics is not just about incentives and institutions, mathematical models and observed behaviour. It should take a broader, more humanistic approach, paying attention to ethics and values, “what people believe, and the stories they tell one another”, as one reviewer put it. Certainly in government we must think about these broader factors all the time, while making sure we get the economics right. Not just in trade and industry or finance, but also in national development, education, health, manpower, sustainability and the environment, social and family development, and so much of public policy. I haven't read this book yet, but saw an enthusiastic book review, and look forward to reading the book itself.
Happy reading! – LHL

手機號碼跳船策略(中)
文:薯伯伯
上文提及 SIM 卡手機號碼是過時的科技,但卻是識別身份的其中一個有效方法,文章中提了一些場景去說明以上情況,建議先讀〈上篇〉,再讀這篇對策。
之前提出的問題,提及使用 SIM 卡時經常遇到的不便,例如要插入 SIM 卡才能收取驗證碼,而萬一丟失手機及 SIM 卡,即使有新手機,也要補領 SIM 卡後才能重新啟動 Signal 或 WhatsApp 等聊天軟件,費時失事。
最理想的處理方法,是使用「虛擬號碼」,英文叫 virtual number,或 VoIP 號碼。不需要 SIM 卡或電話線,只用透過服務供應商的 app 或網站,即能查看發至該號碼的短訊。
舉個例子,萬一你丟失了手機及 SIM 卡,你只要在新的手機安裝 Signal 或 WhatsApp,輸入虛擬號碼,然後登錄虛擬手機 app,即能收取驗證碼,極之方便,尤其身處外地之時。
一,虛擬號碼
虛擬電話通常是美國號碼,也就是開頭是 +1 字頭,成功申請後,這個 +1 字頭的電話號碼,將會成為 Signal 或 WhatsApp 等對外公開的號碼。坊間提供虛擬號碼的服務供應商雖多,但有些號碼似乎曾經過度使用,登記甚麼服務也會出現問題,另一些則要月費數十至百多元港幣,有比較之下就覺得不算太值得。
我測試最多的服務商有三家:MySudo、Google Voice 及 TextNow。我先說我最不推介的服務吧,不推介 TextNow,他們提供的號碼似乎有不少都曾經重複使用,登記服務時經常遇到問題,得物無所用,極不推介。
那就餘下 MySudo 及 Google Voice。兩者之間,我較為喜歡 Google Voice,但在這裡則會推介 MySudo。我雖然很想推介 Google Voice,但除非你身處美國,本身又有美國當地的手機號碼,否則申請過程頗為困難。即使用了 VPN 並連接至美國伺服器 ,Google 似乎偵測到是用 VPN 連線而拒絕服務申請。
比較容易讓大眾去申請的虛擬號碼服務,是 MySudo。下載該 app,必須要透過美國的 App Store,而不能使用香港 App Store。我一向很鼓勵離岸,所以除了銀行戶口要離岸,其實 App Store 也應該要離岸,這裡示範如何申請美國版的 App Store。
MySudo: https://mysudo.com
(這裡示範用 iPhone 設置,Android 手機用戶申請過程應該大同小異,請朝這個方向自己摸索一下。對了,其實很多時寫文章,就只是想開個方向,讓讀者自行探索一下,這樣會更有趣。)
申請美國版 App Store:
這部份最好在電腦上完成:
1. 使用 VPN,連接到美國伺服器。
2. 使用 Firefox 或其他瀏覽器,打開 https://appleid.apple.com/
3. 點擊 Create your Apple ID。
4. 輸入自己的資料,要填寫真實的電郵地址,要跟香港 App Store 的登錄電郵不同,這將是你的戶口登錄資料,稍後要收取一個驗證碼。
5. Country 選 United States。
6. 電話號碼,出奇地,可以使用香港電話,使用 +852,填上香港號碼,稍後要收取驗證碼。
完成以上步驟之後,轉用 iPhone 或 iPad:
1. 建議在手機上先開啟 VPN,連接去美國伺服器。
2. 打開 App Store,把原先的戶口退出。退出的方法,是點擊右上方的頭像,掃至最底,選擇 log out。
3. 登入美國帳號的資料,系統會顯示「This Apple ID has not been used in iTunes Store.」(這個Apple ID還沒有在 iTunes 商店中使用過。)
4. 選擇 Review,然後等待一會,畫面會一片空白,可能要等一分鐘。
5. 確保寫著 United States,選擇 Agree to Terms and Conditions(同意條款),選擇 Next。
6. Payment Method(付費方式):選擇 None。
7. Billing Address(帳單地址):寫個美國地址及電話,自己想,他們不查證。
8. 填完地址選 Next。
9. 如果出現 Apple ID Completed,這就代表你已經成功開設了 App Store 的離岸戶口了!
有關美國 App Store 戶口充值的方法,實在太多細節,請看看之前我寫的文章: https://www.patreon.com/posts/39576067
之後要用美國版 App Store 下載 MySudo:
1. 用美國的 App Store 戶口,下載免費的應用 MySudo:https://mysudo.com/
2. 用 VPN 連接到美國的伺服器。
3. 打開 MySudo,如果起始畫面一直沒有任何動靜,可能因為你還未連接到美國 VPN 吧。
4. 在 MySudo 的介面,選擇 Create your first Sudo。
5. 按 Next。如果這裡出現問題,可以嘗試重新連接 VPN,選擇另一些美國的伺服器。如果仍然出現問題,可能你以前曾經使用同一個美國 Apple ID 下載並申請過 MySudo,所以顯示出錯,要用一個之前沒有下載過 MySudo 的美國 Apple ID 再試一次。
6. 輸入名字,暫時輸入真名都可以,之後隨時可以改動,選 Next。
7. 關鍵步驟,選擇號碼,按 Create a Phone Number。
8. 選擇美國(其他國家也可以,按自己情況決定),輸入自己喜歡的三位數字組合,例如 314(314 是密蘇里州聖路易)
9. 選擇心水號碼,選定之後就不能更改了。
10. 之後會問能否取用咪高風,選擇不允許。
11. 選擇名字,這個名字要選個合用,因為之後修改較麻煩。
12. 之後問能否傳送通知,選擇「允許」。
MySudo 的免費版本,提供一個美國的虛擬號碼(也有英國號碼,但我沒有試用過),縱然這裡提供的虛擬號碼是免費,但亦可以接收認證短訊,能用作登記 Signal、Telegram 及 WhatsApp,亦能夠接受不少證券行、交易所之類的二步認證碼,但 VoIP 的號碼不能用作申請美國版本的 PayPal。
我申請的時候,MySudo 號碼是可以一直保留,但近日收到一些讀者回應,指 MySudo 號碼一個月不使用就會過期,我覺得也值得付費保留號碼,而且收費不貴,最便宜的收費計劃一個月才 US$ 0.99。
由於美國 App Store 不支援香港信用卡,所以最好最方便最快捷亦是較為安全的充值方法,是購買 Apple Gift Card(以前有分 iTunes 卡或 Apple Store 卡而且互不兼容,現在統一了,方便易明)。先到 https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-giftcard/giftcard ,選擇 Email,選擇 Other Amount,輸入 $10 試玩一下吧,在 Recipient/Sender Name 輸入自己(可以是代號), Recipient/Sender Email 輸入自己電郵地址(要能接收訊息)。之後填信用卡資料時,只要確保信用卡號碼、日期及 CVC 正確就可以,至於 billing address 即使填了美國,其實也會通過的。可以支付的信用卡,例如獅子銀行信用卡、八達通 app 內的 MasterCard 等,比較容易出問題或被拒絕的是 DBS。支付後等一小時,收到禮品卡就按照指示充值。我自己最喜歡用這個方法充值,而不是把信用卡綁定在 App Store 內,方便易容,又減少信用卡被盜的風險。
🚫 注意:切勿把這個美國號碼登記接收銀行驗證碼,否則一些銀行以為你與美國有關,中了 FATCA(《美國海外帳戶稅收遵從法》,Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act)並要求你經常填寫表格 W-8BEN 申報,很麻煩。其他則沒有問題,只要不用來收銀行短訊就可以。
有一點必須留意,截至 2021 年 1 月 22 日,MySudo 仍然不能在 iPhone 與 Android 之間轉移,但該公司網站上稱會考慮加入此功能。而 MySudo 的備份一定要做得好,這個 app 用 iCloud 也合適(如果開 iCloud,其他大多數 app 的數據其實都沒必要同步,但 MySudo 有點例外)。如果沒有做好備份可能會失去這個號碼,所以要小心,做好備份。
二,把虛擬號碼融進日常生活
申請了並保存了虛擬號碼,確保 MySudo 的備份做得完美,那就開始逐步把虛擬號碼融進日常生活,取代用了十多年的電話號碼。
這部份還是留待續篇才寫。
注:我稍後(一月底)會在 Patreon 較私密的空間,再探討一下另一個我很推介的虛擬號碼 Google Voice 的申請及應用,但考慮到該文觸及 Google 的灰色地帶,所以設定為 Patreon 的獨家文章。反正大部份文章都是公開,有時設置一兩篇為 Patreon exclusive,我會原諒我自己的任性。

android in app review 在 Cheekiemonkies Facebook 的最佳解答
Typical scene in my household during the school holidays, with all three glued to their respective devices. 😅 You can’t see it in the photo but there’s an invisible protector guarding the monkies against the risks of malware, spyware, phishing, and identity theft. This saviour comes in the form of Norton 360 Deluxe - with Parental Control!
Because not only does this warrior equip my devices with Anti-Spyware, Antivirus, Malware & Ransomware protection, it also has Norton Parental Control which gives me the tools to see what videos they watch, websites they visit, terms they search for, and mobile apps they download, including GPS location monitoring for Android & iOS, content filtering for PCs, and more! All I had to do was to install the app on each monitored device to enforce rules and monitor activity. Easy peasy!
And this protector is currently offering his services at a promotional rate - only $69 per year for FIVE devices. That’s $1.15 monthly per device! But be quick because this Best Christmas Deal is only for a limited time offer and ends on 6 Jan 2021! Visit https://www.kqzyfj.com/click-100215964-10506010 to snag it!
*For more details on how Norton 360 Deluxe with Parental Control works for my family, read my review at www.cheekiemonkie.net/2020/09/norton-360-deluxe-antivirus-parental-control-for-families-review.html
