Tom Scott has a great video about the issues with electronic voting, chief among which is a lack of trust and understanding by the general public of how electronic voting would work.

It's more about a fundamental design trade-off rather than removing accidental complexity coming from UX. Currently, most of us delegate the responsibility of identity management (other than memorizing id and password) to one of big-techs, presumably much better at this area than 99% of us. In the fully decentralized world, the burden of proof is now up to users. And they usually don't really care about the best practice for security, privacy and reliability. Technology may improve over time so the equation will get better, but I don't expect this dynamic to change that much.
On the other hand, however, the outcomes of a breach are vastly different. An individual who fails to secure their information is liable for only their information. If a "big-tech" is compromised, they are liable for everyone's information.
If users are still unwilling to run their own infra, then that seems like a great opportunity for Identity as a Service. I'd feel much more comfortable handing identity to a firm whose entire business model revolves around securing my information and protecting my privacy rather than a big-tech.

>>> I’ll proceed to give them a two minute tour about what you can do with tmux. After that they’re either hooked and want to try it themselves or they tell me to go away with my ancient neckbeard tools and just use iTerm2.
FYI, iTerm2 actually has a tmux integration. Allows you to get the best of native paneling and persistent sessions.
This seems to play very well with some of MIT CSAIL's research in training robots to be able to manipulate objects they haven't seen before.

TL;DR the objects are grouped into categories which determine the "Key points" on the objects (similar to this 'skeleton') which the robot knows how to interact with in order to bring about the intended manipulation.
