<p>True. But the common man on the street wants things to be cheap. This is not sustainable unless on imports cheap h1b (or other overworked foreigners).<p>Edit: This is not meant to support h1b.<p>Ideal case - people that are not on H1B and work in these companies - contact your CEO/managers. People don't do that. Instead are happy to argue (or downvote) here.</p>

<p>I know some webhosting provider that used one VM for every user. Now they moved to using this. Firstly low resource usage. If one uses ZFS or btrfs then one can save storage as in common bits are not duplicated across system containers. Note this is a system container - not traditional container. This one can be rebooted to get the previous state. It is not ephemeral.</p>

- You can register this key directly at the website or

- Every password manager need to implement it obviously</p>

<p>>  Doordash<p>I would assume apps that are non-geek oriented will do quicker adoption. In my experience, many people are looking at passkey like a<p>- Password manager that is automatically working fine on their phone
- Apple or Google takes care of everything. And users think of it like 'Sign in with Google/Apple equivalent'. Press fingerprint/face-ID and all just works.<p>Only PITA I expect is that banks type dinosaurs will screw up this (like they did with 2FA - with custom apps and non-standard implementations). I wish W3C would some way ban these but banks are somehow escaping standards.</p>

<p>I definitely listened in a legal podcast that somehow juries award lower sentences to road accident deaths as compared to others. Seems strange.</p>

<p>Does this mean the legal team do not understand tech? How come a company like Google/YouTube have no checks-balances when sending things like this? Or do the top-level not have powers over legal team?</p>

<p>Please don't give such justification. Power corrupts, misuse.<p>- Would you also allow your team mates to know same data about you to them?<p>- That would be a level playing field.<p>- Or at least MS tools should 'automatically' report to the User that an Admin did LOOK into their habits.<p>- This way you will not have intelligent people working in your team. I am saddened that Google does this.<p>- Are your teammates aware that you can do this?</p>
