I think KeypassXC already provides plain text export and Bitwarden provides some export as well. I guess eventually either passkey ecosystem will become locked to a few specific vendors that won't implement functionality FIDO does not like or passkeys will be extractable. In first case it'll become vendor locked corporate standard, in second - same as passwords with url verification.

Or it can stay a niche standard most people don't care much about, we'll see.

Sure, there are some options. However, a post I was replying to pointed out that it's more of an exception rather than a rule.

Except that in almost all implementations passkeys can't be extracted or copied, unlike ssh keys. Great for enterprise, terrible for home use.

> The defining feature of passkeys is that they're stored in your password manager, and you can't read them, so you can't be tricked into typing them into the wrong web site.

That's the biggest issue.

Haven't been tricked so far. On the other hand, I've had a couple of accounts locked because "we don't like your ip", "we want your phone number now", or "we want to send a push notification/text to the phone that just died".

Why would I trade control over my credentials for some potential security gains, while introducing new dependencies on Google, Apple, or whoever runs my password manager - and the very real risk of being locked out of all of my own accounts?

It almost seems like instead of passkeys in their current state we just need SSH keys but with added website verification.

For many companies the whole reason for this is to pay lower salary and prevailing wage in NYC and SF is higher. I knew a guy who got a small raise before his PERM was filled simply because his salary at the time was lower than salary in PERM. It was 10 years ago and in Florida, I imagine difference now and in HCOL locations is even bigger.

Newegg marketplace is a funny place. Not only many items are more expensive than elsewhere, I had my orders delivered literally in Amazon or Walmart packaging. There are genuine merchants that made a choice to work with Newegg but there are many resellers from other stores as well.

In 3rd world countries having children is also a retirement plan because government does not guarantee much for elderly. Not sure if developed countries want to go there though.

My dryer makes a "beep" sound when it's done. Not sure what would I gain if it played on my phone instead.

That tap in and out system causes unexpected issues sometimes. Many subway stations in Tokyo have different extrances for different directions that are not connected underground. Once I entered such station for a train that went in a wrong way and when I tried to exit gates didn't let me. It was unmanned station so it took me a while to find an intercom and explain my issue to a person so they can unblock me.

In Vienna they don't have gates at all or even much indication where gates supposed to be. My first visit I accidentally didn't pay for my ticket - I'm used to ticket machines being near the gates but I couldn't spot any. I also arrived on a train so I thought that since there was no gates or visible ticket machines between train and subway, maybe my train ticket is valid for a subway trip (happens in some places) but it was not the case.

But isn't that how market supposed to work? Company offers to pay x for the job, can't find anyone for x, so it raises salary to x+y.

I would understand logic of bringing people from other countries when there is a shortage of workers but with current market it doesn't seem to be the case.

The cost of accepting cash is not necessarily lower - you have take into account higher theft risk, miscounts and cost of delivering it to the bank. Also there is no incentive for businesses to pass saved fees to customers.

I think it's true for most businesses with single transaction being big enough - car dealerships, child care, rent. On the other hand many of them are not happy with cash either because processing cash also incur fees that are not nesessarily less than credit card fees. Most businesses that prefer to take cash are smaller ones because most likely they won't report it.

There are plenty of credit cards in US with 2% cashback on any transaction and no fees if you pay bills on time (usually 20-30 days after statement closes). Some of them even throw in small sign in bonus.
