What about unstructured data or is the realization dawning that there cannot be any data that is unstructured?

Right now it is hard to look at our kids faces and not feel the impact of this tragedy. I don’t know about everyone but for most people their kids lives are way more important than their right to bear military grade guns. If there is no perfect solution we have to live with a less than perfect solution. If the solution is to legally make it harder for people to access such guns then so be it.

First thing that comes to my mind is “What happens if your phone is suddenly dead”? Will this FIDO alliance guarantee alternative means of access or that they will send someone down to your house to identify you positively and restore access to your online mail and documents?

I get that but I think OIDC could be extended to cover that too whereas the Authenticator or iDP is the local face scanner kr other biometric and then the rest ie exchange of token etc stays the same. That way there won’t be two completely separate path and that will defeat the purpose of SSO ie OIDC websites will authenticate with google or Facebook but FIDO enabled websites will work with face recognition. And it looks like there are already some implementation of this OIDC enabled face recognition https://www.bioid.com/facial-recognition-app/

Any website worth anything would have done a real time check on the users balance and only allow the leftover amount to be used to buy the bonds I.e if I already have $2K worth of bonds then I should be allowed only another $8K worth of bonds. How difficult is it to build this simple business logic into the user experience? Not a lot specially with the resources at their disposal. But unfortunately I can guarantee that the bureaucratic mechanisms , the digital divide that exists in the govt departments will ensure that there is no quick fix for this. And on top of that some of us may think of this as a feature :D and don’t realize what is wrong with this picture.

Using tax to build roads , fund schools , maintain community parks , allocating to providing care for the poor and defense funding is not “slavery” and there is no “ruling class”. You can be a burecrat or become a politician if you want. The system may not be perfect but certainly better that half assed solutions that makes no sense.

There is some truth to it but teachers and professors who do not support online mode of teaching also work to undermine it for your own vested interest aka job security. I am sure a online school or class can do their own study and produce opposite results.

Very well written , thanks! And what I don’t get is how even in 2022 decision makers can take a decision that results in killing of innocent lives somewhere. When there is even the slightest chance of dialogue why don’t they seize it?
