  • Also this article is written like crap.

    I am sorry, I was pretty high while writing it

  • Well, at least trams and trains don't produce wear on roads, and a good freight train network reduces the need for heavy trucks.

  • I think they are using the generic “you”, which is an English grammar phenomenon I think is overused and should often be replaced with “one”, the unambiguously generic pronoun.

  • If you pitch it as “authority of a driver's license combined with the convenience and security of a chip-based credit card”, it may not be hard to get people on board. It might help to bundle it with benefits such as more automated direct tax filing.

    Our country’s post office operates a Datová schránka (“Digital Mailbox”) system where you can basically send email-like messages to people, businesses and institutions that carry the authority of registered mail but delivered in a minute and 10x cheaper. This is optional for individuals and mandatory for businesses, and you need to authenticate with your ID card online or at post offices (which also accept driver's licenses and passports) to access it (though you can get email/SMS notifications of new mail). The cost is there to limit spam, and to send a message, you need to know the recipient’s address (public for companies, private for individuals unless they choose to publish it). Most people don't use it but businessmen love the speed and reduction in paperwork. Because right-wing people tend to adore business efficiency and this makes contracts fast and secure, this might help the US ID adoption too.

  • Still, you cannot change the number and it's a disaster if it leaks, which is very easy. Instead, our country uses IDs with chips that can be used with standard readers to securely authenticate with government and private services online. There is also a changeable PIN and optional third-factor authentication. People who cannot or don't want to use the system need to visit the institution or a CzechPoint site and show the physical card and their face.

  • Actually not always, there is a script that can recover text from mosaic'd screenshots if the font and pixellation technique is known. I just use a fake mosaic – the easiest way is to paste a bitmap of non-confidential text from elsewhere in the screenshot and then apply the filter.

  • That’s just plain stupid... Get a federal ID already like most countries.

  • That's your agender right there!

  • Looks, not sounds. Ahoj!

  • Maybe he only reported on the ones that followed the patterns he could explain. A statistical analysis showed that he most likely fudged some data, too.

    If a teacher mandates students to stream lectures over TikTok, I’m raising a formal complaint. There is at least a dozen better options.
