It's losing cost advantages as time goes. Long term storage is still on tape (and that's actively developed too!), and flash is getting cheaper, and spinning disks have inherent bandwidth and latency limits. It's probably not going away entirely, but it's main usecases are being squeezed on both ends

There are endless positive but fundamentally dysfunctional ideologies. Anything which doesn't address how large populations behave is dysfunctional.

Edit: Ideas about making the world better but which are stupid ideas = positive ideas, but dysfunctional. In fewer words, naive.

To be distinguished from fascism et all which are about hurting people, thus negative ideas.

It's also what Google Maps live view is using. Street view imagery plus rough location plus on-phone camera sensor calibration data allows it to compute highly accurate positions relative to surroundings.

Taxing liquid capital is fairly straightforward, especially if it's tied to income (like company founders owning shares).

Taxing non-liquid assets is complicated because it's hard to make it fair in cases of family home inheritance and similar situations.

But taxing use of assets as collateral for loans (to create liquidity from a non-liquid asset) should be reasonably fair, it can be treated as an advance on capital gains taxes on the collateralized asset.

Passkeys can be synchronized, but aren't intended to be exported raw as they're meant to be used with a TPM / secure element chip or equivalent secure hardware to protect the key in use. Bitwarden can synchronize them.

Also, they intentionally create distinct keys per site, so you can't link multiple accounts using the same passkey / hardware security key.

That's literally no different from a regular password manager or having a 2FA TOTP code app set up for it

It literally just takes a slightly different domain name. Lots of infosec pros have been phished when not paying attention

Passkeys use unique keys per site for that reason

TOTP codes can be phished, hardware security keys and passkey can't
