No macOS support is baffling

I really hope Apple will see the strategic adoption value in offering a free “validation” app — the means to verify one of their new, ISO-spec digital IDs and traditional, plastic IDs— for both Android and iOS. Digital ID is a massive chicken and t…

Lot of extraneous stuff in these comments. Anyhow, DHS/TSA is definitely the means to prod meaningful adoption. Personally, I’d like to see the US Code (where the REAL ID requirements are set) amended such that there’s a requirement for any data, …

If you inherited / made so much money that afford to give it away to others so freely, please consider donating to good causes in addition to pissing it away on stuff like this.

I feel like every time Facebook has ever tried to do its own thing, it’s been a fiery disaster… all they do is just copy other successful models. What an evil, lame company.

GeorgeBMac said: Maybe this will be an opportunity to fix a broken ID system Super ironic, as that was the goal of REAL ID [following the 9/11 terrorist attacks], as recommended by the 9/11 Commission.

First, until Department of Homeland Security updates REAL ID regulations (neither a simple nor fast process), this really doesn’t matter. US citizens cannot board a plane unless they show REAL ID-compliant identification, and the current statues sa…

Voting without a paper trail is a very bad idea. Watch the movie Kill Chain if you want to understand why.

I work in tech and feel comfortable asserting I probably know more about technology than 99% of people … but then I read something like this and realize I am an absolute illiterate sitting duck compared to some people out there.

Oh well — sorry, Mark … hugs and kisses

The amount of noise and seeming churn around this project is insane
