It should be fairly easy to see statistically if ECC helps, people do run Firefox on it.
The number of bits in registers, busses, cache layers is very small compared to the number in RAM. Obviously they might be hotter or more likely to flip.
A lot of words to say adding a column to passwd and changing all software that creates accounts will take some work.
For me giving parents more tools seems easily worth the work, but I can understand others who disagree.
For $2,500 the Carvera Air makes very nice 2 sided pcbs with solder mask. Though even in raw materials it is hard to match a finished board from China if you can wait a couple of months.
All the law asks is that 'adduser' asks for their birthday; and and age restricted software checks this on installation.
Given we already have software it is illegal to sell to children this seems like an easy win? (Obviously it is still down to the parents to ensure the account is setup correctly)
Unrestricted API keys were always secrets. They are created on a page called "Keys & Credentials". The fact that Google even allows unrestricted keys to be created has been a long standing security problem. The fact their docs encouraged it remains unforgivable.
I would like to restrict the term "Public keys" to refer to asymmetric encryption keys which can be made public without compromising security.
The only purpose of the keys Maps/Stripe encourage you to publicly put into your website is to guarantee it is talking to _your_ Google/Stripe account not someone else's. Obviously once you put them in your client they are of zero value in helping Google/Stripe identify you. The fact that Google allows you to use the same type of key they also use elsewhere to identify _you_ not _them_ was always incredibly bad design. Google already have the 'Project ID' which would have been the best thing to use.
I think the comparison today is more vs the Matrix protocol that is a more recent take at the same ideas, and JSON vs XML isn't the strongest argument.
