  • What I meant is that it would get more and more difficult with more mass surveillance. Think about it, in 1950 it would take relatively little effort to fake an identity by inserting fake documents into a few physical cabinets. In 2000, cyber security was so weak that hacking to some government agency to modify their databases would be relatively simple. Now it would require advanced social engineering, and is extremely risky, and on top of that, they have a lot of mass surveillance.

    If we assume everything will have a biometric database, you’ll have to find ways to change your fingerprints and face every few decades.

    Over a long enough duration, you are guaranteed to be caught.

  • As someone who regularly uses both British and American English both at work and in my personal life, I sometimes mix them unintentionally.

    I almost always use the same spelling for either word and use context to make sure it is always clear which mold I am talking about.

    I do think there is value in distinguishing the words with different spelling, but without getting everyone to agree on which spelling would mean what, I think this won’t be very productive.
