"Housing first" isn't the belief that providing a house "on its own is some kind of solution". It's the belief and practice of not refusing to provide housing support until people meet certain criteria – which

We're dealing with the same laws, but not the same evidence. There wasn't much evidence in the Apple case that Apple was explicitly taking action to disadvantage or harm third-parties, and there was even less evidence that Apple u

Among people I know here in Austin, who are all largely in the middle class, it's wildly assumed you'd just travel out of state if needed. It's a weird situation. The people who should be moving are people for whom an out-of-

Shoplifting isn't a new thing, and companies have had prosecution and enforcement policies for decades. Anti-theft devices have been around forever too. I was a fairly prolific shoplifter in my teens, and different stores have been put

"Cause it's ours and we don't want to." is a very legitimate reason. I don't have to let you into my house. I don't owe you a reason. It's my house.

You mean the company who controls the protocol, and the clients, and the servers for a given service somehow found a way to stop a third-party from utilizing that service without permission? I am shocked at this outcome, and shall write my

Whatever the reasons for the conditions, you have a large population of people who lack control of their own fate. Historically, those populations don't quiet down and accept it.

Basecamp 2 was good, and we also used it to scale our company. However, we found that Asana was a much better match for us.

Apple is 100% going to ban this. While reverse engineering the protocol is fine, legally, Apple has a legal right to decide which clients can connect to its servers and from which clients it trusts data.

Maybe it's more "within the creative community in Chicago". The Chicago digital creative community felt fairly small back in the early 2000s and everyone kinda had stories and opinions on everyone else.

We made the same call as an agency, but back in 2018, moving from Basecamp to Asana. We'd used Basecamp for over a decade at that point. We'd never been huge fans of 37signals or its leadership, but Basecamp was genuinely the only
