Readit NewsI am also like this. I had a fight once with my SO where they were upset with me for not trying to level up my navigation skills. I have a growth mindset about many other things, but I've just absolutely given up on navigation without a smartphone.
I also have a hard time recognizing faces of celebrities, but not people I know in real life.
From reading about prosopagnosia and other agnosias, I suspect there's something funny with my fusiform gyrus.
I've always linked my inability to navigate to my inability to visualize things in my head. Even in the area where I've been living for about 15 years now, I still struggle to determine routes if I don't travel them very regularly.
This afternoon, we drove to a place in the city nearby. By now, after so many years, I can guess which exit to take, but I don't know whether to turn left or right at the end of the exit until I'm at the end and recognise it from previous times I've been there. But I can't picture it in my head beforehand.

Really strange to me that given its obviously possible to securely verify someone’s age without requiring personally identifiable information at the endpoint requiring verification (or for the system verifying attributes to know the endpoint requesting verification) that anyone would even want that information flowing through their systems — unless they wanted the information for other reasons. To me, unless the prior technological features I just mentioned are baked into the law, this feels like it’s either intentional or laws are being crafted by people that have no clue what they’re doing.
More generally speaking, governments should start seeing the hoarding of data by itself and others as a national security threat, open source any government systems — and offer bounties for anyone able to maintain the objectives of a system while reducing the system’s access to sensitive data.

* EDIT: 100% sure that it’s technically possible to have an endpoint anonymously verify age and a verification system to do so without knowing the endpoint requesting the verification, but unable to find technical explanation of how this might be done using existing technology; might be wrong, but believe it included a combination of differential privacy and zero knowledge proofs. Does anyone have a link to detailed explanation of how to implement such a system?
IRMA [1] comes to mind. From their site:
With IRMA it is easy to log in and make yourself known, by disclosing only relevant attributes of yourself. For instance, in order to watch a certain movie online, you prove that you are older than 16, and nothing else.
Their docs[2] are pretty good.

I’m assuming all bookkeeping software will integrate it, just as all suppliers are able to send PDF invoices.
For the ones sending invoices manually, like OP, maybe software with free tiers will pop up. Just like many suppliers have free tiers for sending PDF invoices.
