I don't know about RealPage in particular. But the dynamics could be similar to (or an example of) a cartel. Cartels generally don't tolerate a cartel member undercutting their prices. Cartels are effectively in a prisoner's

Not vouching for the election result, however, some kind of correction for multiple comparisons is probably needed here. There are a lot of different ways in which election results can 'look fishy', especially if you take combinat

Misgendering someone (Liz Fong-Jones pronouns, as documented on her own sites, are she/her) does tend to undermine the credibility that this is a legitimate grievance. Surely given the length at which the author writes on her, they wo

There are clearly genocidal statements from Israeli leadership. Bezalel Smotrich, finance minister, for example: "We need to encourage immigration from there. If there were 100,000-200,000 Arabs in the Strip and not two million, the wh

Designing for safety helps a lot. Memory safe languages, reproducible builds, encoding safety properties in the type systems, and so on. Sure, an attacker can subvert the types as well as the code, or use unsafe code, or try to tamper with
