> We shouldn’t just give up because everything is inherently insecure. True, but no sane way to mass revoke Passkeys from stolen / lost device is just bad design.

That could work, but then the service needs to implement complex non standardized authentication mechanism outside of Passkeys. You will have 14 different services with 15 differen…

I don't think that would work either. Let's say I have a new account and a single Passkey in the TPM of PC1. I want to log in from PC2, too. How can I do that? (I know there is som…

The enforcement of GDPR is more or less nonexistent for big companies. Even if they get fined, that is just cost of business for them. In the text nothing prevents the manufacturer…

I think that depends on how do you define PII. I suspect the ZKP proof or token is practically unique and related to you, so I could be personal data if you use the definition from…

It is not using ZKP. Zero knowledge proof is mentioned as an optional experimental feature in the next release. https://ageverification.dev/av-doc-technical-specification/d...

Some people argue that it is just for more government surveillance and control, but the government already could access your bank and card transactions and freeze or confiscate you…

The difference is more a financial or legal thing, than a technical one. From an users' perspective paying with digital Euro would work more-or-less the same as you pay today with …

It gets interesting when the two system interacts. Friends visiting the US told me that at the POS terminal they had to choose credit card despite paying with a Visa/Mastercard deb…

AFAIK the ECB wants to have both things. Digital Euro being a CBDC could open up a lot of possibilities, but they want an unified payment system, too, and that would be a nice firs…

Not really. Euro cash today is paper / plastic banknotes and metal coins. Your account in the bank is not really cash you own, it is more like the banks liability towards you. If y…

I theory it should be more. The ECB claims you will be able to hold and spend a (limited amount of) digital euro offline (without internet connection).

That's interesting argument. Here it is usual to have a daily limit on debit cards. You can not spend more money than that, so a thief can not drain your account. Also many banks g…

Probably it depends on what part of the world you are and on what is your goal, what you want to optimize for. In many countries there are usual systematic weather events where all…

Microchip has some "chip-scale atomic clock"s, not much bigger than an OCXO, but a lot more expensive. https://www.microchip.com/en-us/product/csac-sa65

> They also over index fear of LargeCo stealing IP That seems to be a bold statement considering the whole business of this LargeCo is based on stolen IP.

This. If AMD / Xilinx would publish the documentation what you would need to use their chips, probably very few would use Vivado or ISE.

Not yet, but it is easy to imagine many ways it would be used for DRM.

Maybe that's changes by country, but here bank transfers are basically final and can not be cancelled or recalled. Why would a bank cover your losses from their profits?

Chargebacks exists for (EU style) debit cards, too. It doesn't need to be simple just available, so if the merchant disappears with your money or someone uses your stolen card, the…
