FWIW, I created an account at Bank of America without an SSN. This was a few years ago though. I think a lot of this might inconsistent even across branches of the same bank.

> Japan already has massive cities. It doesn't work. What do you mean by this? Tokyo seems like a pretty successful case to me: relatively affordable housing even with net migration into the city, along with good public transit.

If you use persistent data structures, you can store the total state, and you'll get deduplication of the common parts, which brings down the memory usage to a more reasonable amount. This is what git does essentially, which gets you O
