  • It sets both the technical requirements and recommended best practices for determining the validity of methods used to authenticate digital identities online. Organizations that interact with the federal government online are required to be in compliance

    My argument is that if this document (and others) are requirements for companies shouldn’t there also be a more approachable document for people to use?

    Sure, have the jargon filled document that those in the know can access, but without an additional not so jargon-y document you’ve just added a barrier to change. Maybe just an abstract of the rule changes on the front page without the jargon?

    I don’t know, maybe it’s not a big deal to compliance officers but just seems to me (someone that isn’t a compliance officer) that obfuscating the required changes behind jargon and acronyms is going to slow adoption of the changes.




  • Well maybe not other examples, but my comment was more along the lines that I think that we (modern humans) idealize hunter-gathers. When what was probably more reality was that they had difficult times as well. That is wasn’t a utopia by any means. I would say that agriculture and animal domestication came out of a need to reduce the task of having to hunt down your food.

    If you get to just walk out of your hut and harvest plants or you don’t have to run down a wild pig, instead just butcher one in the pen you’re going to do that. But the downside then is you need to spend more time tending to the animals and plants to make sure they survive. So you give up some downtime.



  • True. But the people advocating for these laws don’t want to deal with nuance and compromise on what it would take to have a society where you educate people on sex in a healthy and positive way. These prohibitionists see the world as either bad or good - nothing in between. Good (how ever they decide to define it) must win no compromises, and the weapon that they use is unfounded fear of the bad and it works.

    And the reason fear works is because it is easy and visceral and reality’s complexity doesn’t work for media’s need for sound bites.
