Conflating credit card #'s and personal biometrics/SSNs is your first mistake. You think they are the same, they feel the same, but the risk to the customer is so much bigger.

When a hotel copies my passport, they get a jpg. If they use Stripe, now I know they have my biometrics serialized to JSON. That feels way riskier and scarier to me, especially now that it's all centralized by Stripe.

We hear about our personal data getting leaked and hacked every day, and here is Stripe making themselves an enormous target and serializing all the data for malicious actors.

This feels like a really tone deaf misstep by the company.

I think their point is the EU was the weak dog at the negotiating table.

Isn't this because the EU let the US/UK take priority of production? I was under the impression AZ was filling their fulfillments to US/UK just fine. This seems like EU just couldn't keep up in the horse race negotiating.

The USA had this position from the outset, everyone was able to plan around it. I don't think it was the best position, but I think there is value in making its position clear.

This move by the EU just shows Van der Leyen's floundering and the EU showing again the limits of its efficacy as a governing organization.

My question for these kinds of complaints is, how do is it proposed we implement the same features and value that can be provided currently, with fewer downloas?

Could we have Facebook without a huge download? Is this saying the web should not have these features? Are we intended to download each new application separately on a PC like we do mobile?

I see so many complains about "the bloated web", but no solution that let's us keep the tremendous value the internet has given to the world. It just comes across so short-sighted and reactionary.
