I have a horrible sneaking feeling we forgot about David Blaine in a perspex box somewhere

@adambader Giving them the benefit of doubt, and a few days, but if they don't come through, I'll be asking for a refund for this years membership (I'm sure they won't give it), and moving along. I was on the fence about renewing anyway, and I know I'm not alone in thinking that...

@rileyphughes Perhaps he doesn't want a new financial account?

@darrello but v valid points re waiting on perfection in general

[Nick Ris @nickris]

@darrello I'm a big 'done is better than perfect', guy but in this case Jacques and team did a load of work leading up this - it wasn't exactly shooting from the hip ;)

[Nick Ris @nickris]

@darrello passkeys are an answer they're certainly not the answer

@stevejarrett @orange Nice one Steve!

I am often asked whether SSI, verifiable credentials or identity wallets are a good fit for a particular use case, and my answer is usually "it depends on which benefits of this technology are relevant in this situation". Here's a handy cheat sheet 🧵.

A thread about our depraved healthcare system, and a plea.

In 2021, my friend Carole was diagnosed with terminal stage four cancer. A single parent with two kids, she had just turned 43. In 2017, she had watched her brother Chris die of the same cancer. He too was in his 40s.

@jasonlk Isn't 90% of their revenue telco? Not sure it matters how sexy their dev marketing is.. they're a telco.

@malatack I tell people I was born on the 8th of Feb regularly. I’ve been here 12 years. Also, DOB is a terrible identifier..

@tonyrose023 Mr Inbetween - i hope it doesn't inspire anything tho

@RedaHachem We're also working against that in many instances incumbent solutions already exist - point in case, KYC... It's fundamentally a solved problem, but could it markedly improved - yes...

[Nick Ris @nickris]

Rate limiting views 🤣🤣🤣

[Nick Ris @nickris]

@RedaHachem Thx Reda! The short answer is - yes, decentralized identity solutions will materially impact online privacy/security AND improve user experience. There are a lot of reasons why adoption has been slow, but a key aspect is the shear number of dependencies and variables involved
