  1. New #blog post: ID Cards Have Come Around Again :(

    The #UK government contends that they'll help reduce illegal immigration. In this post I look at why that's unlikely to be true as well as some of the harms that the #BritCard will likely bring with it.

  3. This is an excellent piece on privacy, data collection, and being wary of government's data oversight.

    Interesting. The metro systems in the Chinese cities we've visited still issue paper tickets for now, and the buses take cash, although its slightly cheaper to use the transport cards issued for both modes in each city.

    Yes. It takes time to build up but can be stressed easily. #PublicTransport is an example of a #complexSystem. Any changes should be introduced slowly, especially if the system is functioning well.

    One turn-off for many was when govt introduced #identityCards, replacing #recyclable magnetic #tickets.
