But that’s not how time works… You don’t ever get more sunlight, timeshifts just shift by an hour when that time is. Your 4pm sunset in the winter will now be 5pm. You’re not getting evening sun with a time shift. Similarly without the shift summer sunsets are well past 7pm during the summer. (I might have the winter times backwards.)

The flow I hear about when people talk about passkeys is sign up with email. Code gets sent to email. Code is entered, passkey gets generated. There always seems to be some similar step that looks like that, and often you have new device or reset that looks the same. Sure the passkey itself is secure, but how do you get it, how do you generate it, how do you validate the first time?

I think they are being pushed because cool technology on paper. Whenever I read an article about them, I can’t help but think about the human factors. How are passkeys created, often by a password or email. okay… that looks a lot like a password. Oh you lost the passkey, here lets send you one again. It stinks of a second factor without a first. Sure, the passkey itself is hard to compromise, but how about its creation. If your email is compromised I see no difference from passwords or passkeys.

That doesn’t surprise me too much. Have you seen Bo Burnham’s Country Song, or SIX Song Country Mashup. All pop country sounds the same.

From the article, the claim is worry about drugs from Canada.

(From a US perspective) It would be good. As an analog, take a look at patents, the surge in 3d printer tech is because the patents expired. The idea is a “limited exclusivity”, the permanent nature it has become is stagnating, and only there to benefit the corporate rather than personal nature that the system was designed for.
