To keep ML fast and cheap, you want to keep compute as close to data as possible. I don't think a web service would be broadly applicable. Perhaps in certain domains it would make sense, but bandwidth costs and duration would be a huge fact

Great rundown of all the steps. If you're looking for some node code as a starting point, this is Node + MySQL. https://github.com/ozten/hostedpersona

Great point. You can log into each website with a different email address. Someone can build a Persona identity provider to automate Pseudo Anonymity.

Our team has thought a lot about this. There are a bunch of angles to answer this from. Short answer (assuming native browser, native webmail provider): The malicious website would have to fake browser chrome and fake the user's webmail log

Directly from the article: Julius Schorzman of DailyCred, the instant CRM package for any web site, implemented Persona and remarked “We’ve seen from our internal metrics that more than 70% of users still prefer email and password authentic

You can choose any email address you control. Persona doesn't force you to use one identity. Sites that use Facebook connect on the other hand...

Persona is ready for consumer sites. Play Brave[1] is a game from the Born This Way Foundation, which uses Persona. Mineshafter[2] is a free alternative to using the main Minecraft online services. The Times[3] (UK) Crossword puzzle uses Pe

Mozilla's user research group has done some qualitative research, and many subjects didn't like being forced to use a social login like Facebook. Here is a presentation on one of their recent studies https://air.mozilla.org/online-identity

I've been enjoying Pdf.js for months, as I use Aurora as my main browser. Aurora[1] is the the first step before Firefox Beta. If you want to use awesome features like pdf.js earlier... get on Aurora. It has been surprisingly stable channel

Thanks for clarifying! WebRTC is really exciting from a P2P perspective, which is why I and others are sensitive about the terminology. This is a really cool use of Firebase, to have zero discovery servers to deploy for a working WebRTC set

This is a poorly conceptualized article. Mozilla makes money off Google. Google does not hold the purse strings and therefore cannot tell Mozilla what to build and what not to build. Of course a business deal could be made that restricted M

I've had bad luck in Seattle and Oahu HI. I now start with Google maps via Safari and only resort to using the Maps app if I need my location to show up as fast as possible.

Try it today on your iPhone, iPad, or stock Android browser. This is a cross-device, cross-browser solution.

Please try this today. It's one main reason The Times uses it on their Crossword product... This is safe on a public computer or shared device, if you logout. Persona also has some UI around public versus personal devices.

Great point! And the recovery process is much easier in the Persona case... because you only have to fight to get back your Persona account. Today you'll have to 1) Fight to get your email account back 2) Visit each and every site and manua

As a website you can do local verification of the log in assertion. Mozilla hosts a verifier as a convenience, but you don't have to use it.

The BrowserID protocol states that Google should be used for authentication, instead of the fallback persona.org account.
