"People tolerate these kinds of things as necessary evils." They are not 'necessary evils' in any minds but those of HN commenters. They are just 'normal artifacts' in the minds most people.

An SS card with literally a photo on it, the most minor of changes, could effectively serve as a really good 'ID'.
