I want to see a power user OS. Something designed for humans who need to analyze huge amounts of data in arbitrary ways. Something that knows how to work with cloud resources to profile new data sources, simplifying the whole ETL challenge.

Agree. Credential syncing is important. Use case: I create an account using using a Yubikey on my desktop, then want to access that account from my mobile phone using a fingerprint. How does the website know I'm the same person? Keybas

Man I would LOVE to have this. I’m terrified/outraged by the abysmal state of data access at American banks. Just horrified that state of the art is giving your primary credentials to a third party.

I recently ordered ~$100 of cables from Monoprice and paid $20 for shipping (even though I have prime!) because I don’t trust Amazon. Really, Monoprice wins on discovery too. They offer one of everything at a good price.
