I really don’t want to turn my devices into hardware keys. I can’t imagine how difficult it would be to recover if, say, there was a fire or flood. Hardware breaks, gets lost, stolen. How about people who can’t afford multiple devices? What about the unhoused? How about if you get arrested and your one device gets confiscated- you can’t even give anyone else access to your data. What if you’re a good witness recording something and the police decide to make your device into evidence (or destroy it).
MFA? Absofuckinglutely. I’ll pass on passkeys, sorry.
While 911 as an emergency number in the US began in 1968, it wasn't universal until 1999. Home Alone came out in 1990. It was completely normal in my youth (earlier, yes, but still) to just not know what the number to call the police was.
You've added details that aren't in the question. It's like asking what are the odds of rolling a "one" on a 1d4, and then saying "Well, if it's not a fair 1d4, then ..."
For this question, for these available answers, choosing at random:
First glance says the correct percentage is 25%. There are four answers, you get to pick one.
However, two of the answers are 25%. This means you have a 50% chance of picking an answer that's right.
Which makes the correct answer C: 50%.
But there's only one answer that's "50%", so you have a 25% chance of picking that one.
Which makes the correct answer "25%", so you have a 50% chance of picking that one.
If we consider that "two answer" equation, we can then consider the correct percentage to be "37.5%" -- halfway between 25% and 50%. That makes the correct answer from the available answers to be B: 0%.
And you have a 25% chance of picking that one at random. So we go back to the beginning, where the correct percentage is 25%.
You may have misunderstood the point of my rhetorical question. I will elaborate.
What about people who are born with XX chromosomes, and all the associated lady bits, who happen to be especially strong? Or tall? Or flexible? Or any other kind of physical difference that would give them an advantage in their chosen sport?
Wouldn't those people have exactly the same kind of "unfair advantage"?
"Oh, wait, that's not what we mean," the Olympics organizers might say. "We are only concerned with one kind of innate physical difference, and not any others."
Standing up to fascists with politics doesn't work, that's true.
Standing up to fascists with force works. The people are apparently not desperate enough for that yet, and now the time that they will be desperate enough is farther away.
The subtext of your original reply was that what I chose to do/say was pointless. Whatever reason I give, you will argue about, so I also chose not to play your game by your rules.
Or maybe trans women athletes just want to ... compete in athletics? If you look at how successful the extremely small number of such athletes are, you will find that they succeed at completely normal rates.
Someone once pointed out to me "Oh but what about this one?" to which I replied, "Ah, so trans women athletes are only a 'problem' when they succeed."
Think of passkeys like they’re backups.
If you have one, you have none. If you have two, you have one. If you have three, at least one of them has to live offsite.
There are a ton of people who can’t reliably meet the “three” threshold, and plenty who can’t meet the two.
