Same situation here in Germany, where companies are worried about attracting skilled foreign workers while right-wing extremist parties are gaining more and more votes.

The internet is uncharted land for all of us.

Does it have "WE DO NOT BREAK USERSPACE!" in golden letters somewhere?

Not use a hosting provider that charges by the amount of traffic?

This appears to be an extreme edge case but overall there is nothing preventing you from waking up to such a huge bill if your site turns into the most popular page on the internet over night.

I strongly disagree. That's like using MD5 and saying 'It's OK, we use SHA256 down the line'. Information encrypted with it might as well be in plain text.

Forget about biometrics, they are way too insecure.

Our cameras have reached a stage where we can replicate fingerprints from photos. 'What you are' is useless when we leave part of us everywhere. And furthermore, in parts of the world, authorities can force you to unlock your device with biometrics but not with passwords.
