There’s always a lot of hand-wringing and FUD around giving people ID numbers, but never a coherent rational argument. What makes it a big brother nightmare for all humans?
I assume it’s a simple accidental transposition of “case in point”, an instance or example that supports, or is relevant or pertinent to, what is being discussed.
I use 1password with Fastmail integration to create unique email addresses for each login. This new “sipping from thimbles” approach to authentication breaks that because iOS and/or 1pass don’t recognise it as a login until the password screen, so I’m swapping and searching and copying and pasting just to log in. I viscerally hate that sort of user hostile design of the auth/login.
South Africa’s violent crime problem isn’t despite its wealth, it’s because of the wealth and, crucially, the inequality in its distribution. Higher inequality is associated with higher crime and lower social trust.
In many police departments in the US the problem is essentially that there are so many bad apples that every good apple that comes is spoiled or cannot do good. This can only be changed be decisive action from the top.
How many bad apples does it take, to spoil the whole barrel?
I'm not disagreeing with the comment I'm replying to, just trying to challenge the perception that there's anything ok with "just" a few bad apples. The acceptable number of bad apples is zero.
