My guess was that they wanted to reduce the chance of news leaking before they announced it. If they're like other large companies I've seen from the inside, changes to the main website involve lots of meetings and lots of people&

When I was moving into my first apartment in 2000, one of my planned roommates had the same problem. He had never had any sort of credit/debt account and the landlord wasn't able to actually pull a credit report.

They do it now. Typically businesses only report credit information to one of the bureaus. They exchange information with each other so information eventually makes it around to all three.

It's ridiculous, but no property management company wants to risk a fine when the cost of checking the OFAC SDN list is so small. I'm not sure if we ever saw a decline due to the OFAC list, so I could easily see it would take a lo

Yup, I learned that it was different on Solaris than Linux on a remote system. Had to sheepishly call and ask someone to powercycle the box.

My experience is from California, but I've worked for a property management company. You'd be in no way safe in changing the locks, unless you gave the tenants on the lease new keys as you were changing them.

Thankfully, at least SF Muni has traffic enforcement cameras on the buses and trains and they issue tickets when folks are in the bus lane & bus stops.

When I moved to a building in SOMA (1045 Mission), I thought it was odd that the unit had air conditioning. Turns out the damn unit needed it most spring/summer days to keep the interior temp in the 70/80s. It probably had somethi

It was up to the journalists. According to the interview Glenn Greenwald did on "Pod Save the World", Snowden gave the journalists a giant dump of documents and they had to go through them to determine what was newsworthy. Snowden

I had something like that happen when I refinanced a car loan. The old lender released the title and sent it to me. About a year later the new lender finally noticed they didn't have the title and asked for it.

The banks don't want to cannibalize their wire transfer business. For example, WFB charged us $0.10 per ACH transaction and $15 per wire.

Yes. In my experience FTPS is a whole bucket of nope. I've never encountered a situation where we couldn't use SFTP. The only time I've had FTPS work 'well' is when the client & server were both written by the s

And honestly, when you're admitted to the hospital unexpectedly, you're probably not in the frame of mind to be questioning everyone who comes by. I know when I was in for a few days, I only recognized the name of one of the hospi

I worked for a company that used fast payments to induce vendors to accept payment via "payment card." If a vendor wanted to continue getting checks or ACH payments, the payment would be processed 2 days before the late date. In t

I don't think anything has changed; I made test-calls to 911 (to confirm the call was routed properly) when commissioning new phone systems and never had police dispatched. I'd tell the operator that I was testing and wanted to co

If you're running Windows, it's built into the OS using Group Policy. Very helpful when a company is running it's own internal CA/PKI.

Caffeine triggers seizures for me, so un-caffeinated is a must. But yeah, mostly what I drink is just fizzy water from a sodastream.

That works in the vendor's favor in the short term, but can screw them in the long term because you get staff who go the extra mile to avoid the vendor in the future, including structuring requirements to avoid them. For example, by ex

> Maybe the answer is something in between? Banks suck, so they've implemented chip cards in a half-assed way with gaping security holes? This is the problem. Some banks don't verify the signature/iCVV.

I can't speak to what they do now, but back then pretty much any airport worker was apparently allowed to 'bid' on a bag return job for AS. In this case, it was an actual AS employee that took the job. That's what I lear
