It's impossible to do without exposing a private signing cert to everyone, yes. That's the issue.

You can't do asymmetric key signing anonymously and with a central issuer.

So either you have to just trust the assertions (0 security) or you have to have a trusted issuer (not anonymous)

A pseudonym issuer is a trusted issuer. There's no way to do it otherwise. You have to trust someone to make this kind of system work.

Agreed that law enforcement should not be involved but the quote I posted was also from the article and it seems impossible.

Most of these make sense and are definitely blockers for this ever releasing but -

Remove the concept of the Pseudonym Provider and ensure pseudonyms are generated and stored locally without the possibility of linking back to real identities.

Correct me if I'm wrong but this data all has to be signed somewhere right? Like the eID contains cryptographically signed assertions about the user in some standard (JWT?) format.

What use is signing the assertions locally? There would be no way to tell if the citizen actually had any valid id at all. A pseudonym provider is the privacy layer that allows for signing of new tokens after ensuring the validity of the old.

How could you sign an anonymous token using a valid one without it being linked back to the valid one? It seems like impossible constraints.

Am I totally off base here?

I have a very handy command in my .vimrc for this -

command! JSON setlocal filetype=json | %!jq .

Anytime I'm in a json file that isn't formatted it's as simple as typing :JSON to have it all sorted.

Yeah but most rpi projects don't need a powerful alternative. I don't need a full computer to run octoprint... But it's still too hard and pricy to get a RPi

They're partnered with OpenAI though, which is none of those things.

Yeah Jerry it's definitely the jokes and certainly had nothing to do with you dating a 17 year old at 38.

Sure it's the college that is blowing things out of proportion...

I've used them and they're great

There's totally a use case for a peripheral like a watch... But it's only so you don't have to pull your phone out of your pocket.

I obviously want every cent to go to the MTA.

But even if they never saw a dime it would be a win. Fewer cars downtown is better for everyone. Less expensive road maintenance, for example.

Traffic is about destination.

Too many people drive to destinations on the most densely populated island in the USA. 72k people per square mile and dipshit Dan from Nowhereville can drive his car right into it without any concern about the traffic he is.

The only drivers in Manhattan should be driving as a job. Bus drivers, some taxis, delivery drivers, construction...

It is obscene that this ain't a thing already.

Fuck drivers. Expand congestion pricing to the entire island.

Resources are just way cheaper than developers.

It's a lot cheaper to have double the ram than it is to pay for someone to optimize your code.

I don't see where you're reading that idea.

It's a lot cheaper to double the ram ergo you do not have to pay someone to optimize your code.

Where are you getting this bizarre inverse from?
