JK Rowling, I curse you, from a distance. I will not personally harm you, because that's not the kind of person I am. But I wish you bad luck: that your bad karma eats at you, that your shows and books sell poorly, that your bad reputation catch up to you in the general public's eye.

The iron triangle of the same origin paradigm:
1) Sensitive data
2) Network access
3) Untrusted code
Any given system can have at most two.
If you want to have all three, you'd need new laws of physics.

I've seen a lot of discussions lately about handle verification, so I wrote about extending the "alsoKnownAs" feature of the did-plc spec. As it is currently written, the spec supports multiple handles and identities, and some (relatively) small changes could resolve some of the gripes.
Extending Also Known As | Smoke Signal
The did-plc spec has room for backwards compatible improvement to support multiple identity associations.

I'll never forget the staff meeting where the senior engineer, who always knitted during meetings, said at the ending, "Well, I got an inch of sock out of that; I don't know what the rest of you got."
She went on to become a professional sock designer and wrote a book on reading charts.
