A few years back, the White House had a brilliant idea: Why not create a single, secure online ID that Americans could use to verify their identity across multiple websites, starting with local government services. The New York Times described it at the time as a "driver's license for the internet."
Sound convenient? It is. Sound scary? It is.
Next month, a pilot program of the "National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace" will begin in government agencies in two US states, to test out whether the pros of a federally verified cyber ID outweigh the cons. Terrifying more like.

One, it would just make it easier to track you.
Two, it would be another case of steal one ID to steal all of your goverment info.
Talk about Identity theft.
I think using a Single id like using facebook, etc.. to log into several places is a bad idea.

Indeed. A very bad idea -- all eggs/one basket bad.
I was looking at a classroom volunteer program called TEALS this weekend. It sounded good, but apparently the only way to log in is with an ID from a "social site" -- and Homey don't play dat.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Yup, right on the heels of the redirect vulnerability being found in OAuth and OpenID.

I've complained to Classmates.com about the stupid Facebook login keep poping up even though I don't need it to log in with. I use different login info.

Instead let's have a single email address and single password to login everywhere.

This comes from the people who spent a billion dollars on the ObamaCare website, which will be cited as one of the most spectacular computer system failures in history...what could possibly go wrong?

Despite all the headlines about billion-dollar exits and IPOs, growing too quickly or too much is not always the most desirable outcome for a startup.
Fifteen entrepreneurs, members of Young Entrepreneur Council (YEC), offer their perspective on why, in some cases, smaller means mightier. It's not the size of the ship that matters...

Molecular biologist and futurist Andrew Hessel envisions a world in which every individual receives pharmaceutical drugs perfectly formulated to their genetic and medical needs for a fraction of what treatment would currently cost. If you catch a glimpse of my printed DNA be kind. Avert your eyes from my variants.

Certainly, the kind of idea that anyone is going to use these tools to make Ebola or smallpox is kind of laughable. Proof by blatant assertion is not very convincing.
And even if Ebola or smallpox is laughable, an extremely contagious, severe stomach "flu" could be a heck of a bio-weapon.

An American friend living in Beijing once said she refused to communicate with anyone whose email address consisted of a string of numbers, such as 62718298454@163.com. This made sense to me at the time—why make email addresses as difficult to remember as phone numbers? But I soon realized that issuing a blanket ban on number-based communications would mean cutting off just about every single Chinese person I knew. Don't forget to tell your mother "5201314" next time you see her.

One would never expect their startup to fail 6 months after having raised half a million euros from public investors. It eventually happened to me, as the CTO of Dijiwan, a former digital marketing startup based in Bordeaux, France. Please remove your programming hats.

Cryptocurrencies, and Bitcoin in particular, have been getting a lot of attention from just about every angle: regulation, governance, taxation, technology, product innovation, and the list goes on. The block chain is agnostic to any "currency". In fact, it can (and will) be adapted to power many other use cases. As a result, it pays to understand the how and the why behind the "minimum viable block chain" Grab that cryptocurrency with both hands and make a stash
