FYI (this was news to me, so it may be to other people), DOGE no longer exists. So in the end they did manage to cut some waste, themselves!

> And if it's insurance, there's a group rate.

Insurers derive rates for each employer from each employer's costs where laws allow this. And many employers self fund medical insurance.

You meant at will employment? So called right to work laws are about relations of unions and non members.

Ah yes. You're right. I've mixed these terms up in my brain.

> I don't see where he is threatening anybody?

The threat he relayed was more serious than the threat he made. But it is a threat when a person with influence suggests they may support a punishment.

> If you promise to store a key in a non-exportable format

There was no such promise. The people who wish Passkeys to replace passwords did not demand it yet even.

The specification states otherwise: https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn-2/

    A credential private key is the private key portion of a credential key pair. The credential private key is bound to a particular authenticator - its managing authenticator - and is expected to never be exposed to any other party, not even to the owner of the authenticator.

And confirm the citations.

> $150 million in 2023, $160 million in 2024. But before the 2008 deal, only ~$20 million.

Someone who read this comment but not the article could assume this was because demand increased unexpectedly. But someone interviewed for the article said the company increased rates and required payment where it was not required before.

No. The company recouped their investment already.[1]

OP was saying it was stupid for Chicago to give that away for peanuts

The person I replied to said Chicago's decision may end up to be wise.

Their words implied they were a member of your generation.

Your comment had no more substance.
