  • Something isn’t adding up here:

    Fare evasion cost the MTA $690 million last year, according to a new agency study that recommends upping enforcement

    nydailynews

    Just casual news reading has shown different numbers here.

    Edit: oh I get it hellgatenyc is looking for s story and saying that the people they caught only amounted to 104k in fares at like 3 bucks a fare or something around that that’s a lot of people. I’m not a fan of the NYPD but no way they didn’t deter way more than that by their presence. Whether or not you think policing fares is right this is bullshit sensationalism. Think for yourself.


  • My understanding is:

    Passkeys are like a password + 2FA mashed together. If someone steals your “passkey password” they still can’t use it to login without the hardware component. That means phishing is harder. Since passkeys are generated for the user from their hardware it also forces better hygiene on the user by not allowig any password duplication.

    A downside is it is tied to hardware and a provider that can cause problems witb loss of device or when you change devices but it is hard to say how painful that is going to be.
