I love how the media still refers to low level appointees as "czars" when they don't have power to actually change anything. But it would be nice if the US government made this change.

In related news, Poland is making strong advances in producing a national ID smartphone app that is cryptographically controlled and could be used across the EU. We'll see how that goes. It could save many millions in producing physical ID cards, but I'm sure that a lot of people will be against it.
