It may be worth considering that the market is not for messaging and workspaces, but mainly for integrated business communications systems. If the integration is more valuable to customers than Slack or Zoom's smooth operation, Teams

Discouraging "investing in land" is the point. Detroit struggles with stasis imposed by property speculation. Encouraging speculators to sell their assets to those who wish to develop is the goal.

California also has the deferment policy.

Michigan, for better or worse, does both. There's a major property tax break for your primary residence. There's a Prop 13 style cap on property tax increases. It's the lesser of 5% or inflation. I'm not a fan of it, but

Target isn't really a Third Space in this context. Starbucks is.

by Kalium 3y ago
The issue with third spaces in the US is making and keeping them fit for purpose. When they tend to be commercialized, squatted on, or otherwise put to exclusive use they are often no longer useful third spaces. What we tend to have is thir

I have a dear friend who was the T-shaped person responsible for security at a early stage health care startup with medical doctor founders. This friend ranked as a VP (required for the kind of tooling spend needed and authority required in

This reads like your standard issue security-team-in-a-box JD. You might find the T-shaped candidate of your dreams, but anyone capable of delivering the combination of cloud admin/netadmin/IT/SOC II/HIPAA/softwar

People want to have status markers to point to. Attending an elite school or sending your kids to one are great status markers, plus the value of elite networking and all the elite opportunities. The argument is often framed in terms of rac

Yes, that definitely could happen. The question is if I have the right to personally control what random people see if they look up public information about me. I'm not particularly comfortable with the obvious extensions of this. What

What about when it's news articles? Should people have a right to control those that might contain their name?

In many places, a combination of requirements become a de facto floor on apartment size. Examples include requirements for natural light, parking minimums, and shared common spaces. Some cities, like Seattle, go so far as to set an explicit

Let's be honest with ourselves, that's exactly what's going to happen. Enforcement of minimum wages among tipped workers is famously lax, and this is unlikely to change anytime soon. Coupling this with taking away the tax d

There are still corners of infosec where doing the wrong kind of research will get you the business end of a massive lawsuit... or a pair of shiny new bracelets. A lot of us started in security in an era where that was more of the rule than

> It seems a lot of infosec folks have these shallow "X = bad" mappings in their brains. Like in that Caddy issue, "out of bounds read = bad" even though realistically you can't do anything bad with it. As other

The market approach is different from the soup kitchen model. The opportunity to pay, the ability to make your own choices in produce, and the experience of using something like a grocery store are things that help people feel dignified. Th

As a rule, offering a service that people feel low-status when using is a sub-optimal approach. Eating "expired" or "old" or even "didn't sell" produce doesn't feel dignified to most people. It feels

I wouldn't think a person would struggle to find a HOA-free house in the midwest. If you were to pick a random house on the market in a random neighborhood in Detroit or Chicago, or Kansas City, odds are you wouldn't pick one in a

Each place has a whole series of other offices up for election as well. They're all on one ballot, and staffing is generally done by a handful of senior citizen volunteers. Futher, there are sometimes absentee ballots that can arrive u

Yes, I follow the point. I am disputing your characterization of "popular city in Europe without a serious housing crisis". On the strength of available evidence, Vienna has what can be fairly described as a serious housing crisis

by Kalium 3y ago
I think that may depend a great deal on if you consider a years-long waiting list for socialized housing to be a serious housing crisis. For my own part, I'm going to say that Vienna's approach has not actually solved the key supp

These approaches and how effective they are are both culturally and individually sensitive. The "Yes, but" approach works well in a context where people understand it as feedback that they should change. Softening the criticism wi

It's never product-market fit that requires a rewrite. It's bumping into the limits of the tools you chose up front. In my experience, that's mostly a function of how technologically wrong your guesswork was. If you set out t

I would be surprised and upset if CFIUS did not work closely with intelligence agencies. CFIUS is an agency charged with risk mitigation from foreign actors. Doing that effectively requires good information and risk assessments. If CFIUS

I think this is an artifact of attribution. Something like 90% of Canada's land is owned by the Crown of Canada, which as far as I can tell is public land owned in a technical sense by the British royal family. In practice it seems to

The webpage example does a good job of setting the stage for passwords. You definitely do not want to compare passwords that way unless you are trying to create a textbook timing vulnerability.

Assuming this is human-written, it only makes sense to me as something cooked up by someone who understands a bit of JS but sincerely has no clue how browsers work. A smart and ambitious, if somewhat incurious, junior engineer at work.
