This is an unrelated question, so I'm putting it in a different thread. How will Passkeys work for users who don't have or want a smartphone? There are plenty of people who carry no electronic devices on their person, and who pri

Thanks for your comments, and I think I see the ambition of the project. We'll see how far it goes. I hope that the powers that be in this space see the risks they're creating, recognize that they are increasing the blast radius

Okay, can they block access to those keys and/or the the backups of them? Assume that my account is terminated or that it's compromised to the degree that I cannot re-claim access to it. Can I move those keys to my new device&#x

Perhaps, I would hope that a sustainable lifestyle business would be able to pay employees and founders enough to build a comfortable retirement nest egg through savings, investments, and compound interest.

Best practice is unlikely to help here, as people just aren't going to register passkeys from multiple services unless it happens automatically. I might bother to enroll multiple passkeys for my bank, but I'm unlikely to do it of

Are Passkeys exportable and re-importable by another service, site, or system? I am strongly opposed to any authentication system that makes my authorization workflow for unrelated third-party sites dependent on any company whose terms of s

The entire finance industry has a disdain for "lifestyle businesses", that just generate enough profits for the founders and employees to live on, but will never generate an exit beyond that. I get why, but for utility products,

Squad leader is the biggest beast of them all in this space. The base rules run over a hundred pages, without including the historical notes. If you are interested in ASL as a tactical, squad-level game, you should start with Starter Kit

WotC/Hasbro has named their next release "One D&D". They clearly want to clear the field of other compatible rules-sets, and have just a singular system that they control, manage, and profit from. My guess is that they

Certainly such a model is regressive, but it is in line with the actual costs of service. In my opinion, it's better to have a pricing model that reflects the actual costs of service, then an explicit subsidy to repair the regressivit

Perhaps, but if we want to dis-incentivize usage as a political policy, we can just increase the usage charge above from "next to nothing". For power, generation costs in California run from $150/MWh to -$150/MWh: http

Yes, that's what you see in the commercial side, where demand charges based on your highest peak usage in a month are common. However, they are un-intuitive and easy to generate big bills for small amounts of power used, so I agree wi

California rates (not sure the OP is in California, but still) are just high. Lowest Off-Peak rate is $0.22/kWh in my area, and On-Peak (4-9pm) can be as high as $0.62/kWh.
