It’s weird how normalized over cap billing became acceptable simply because chargeable metrics were not collected/resolved until after the fact. Seems like an obvious gap in the process or a little bit shady.

Exactly. Why the fixation on one strategy for handling this not so uncommon scenario. It is so common that handling it should be defacto. This isn’t a pre-paid gas pump use, but that could be one way to present it. We all want to fill as

Better wouldn’t necessarily be the right qualifier, but faster, typically more repeatable, and greatly more economical with scale/workload would certainly fit as better from different vantages. With high novelty? Probably not until ma

Likewise, the trivial or novel that you borrow for free isn’t really free when you need to use it suddenly in ways that the license doesn’t permit or it is just technically inconvenient. It is sort of like leasing vs buying, but not reall

So far I haven’t seen a comment point this out or suggest similar, so let’s say that instead of trying to maintain an application level list of email addresses that is used in a breach (or for other reasons), rely on the exercising service

If all you have is a hammer, hit something. Use the tools you have to identify problems and turn them into opportunities that present high value returns. Be specific and address problems that can be observed to be clearly within measurable

Agricultural efficiency, and food handling and storage are big cornerstones in this past century too. We were a world of frequent famine and hunger and now one of abject abundance.

A yard is not just a measure of length, but of volume and in a manner, constitution if you will, as it is also 2 1/2 pints[1], good sir or ma'am. Oy! 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yard_of_ale

Everyone loves a winner, on some level. But are sports stars generally popular with the public or among their peers, or teammates? Michael Jordan, was/is endured to the public for his talent and work ethic, but I don’t believe he was

Maybe, the suggested demise of Equifax, the extreme perpetrator of neglect in this particular case, should lose the ability to print money, much like Symantec and other ssl cert issuers (identity certifies) for their recklessness; perhaps t

Nitpicking, but removing "business" from the title would fit the article body a bit better. Questioning the viability of potential products and services is far different than evaluation of "business" modes or models. G

This. The ux [especially] places priority of identity ahead of protected, private conversation and then too broadly encapsulates that information. Secondly, verification is too static, too binary (all or nothing), and too optimistic. 1. T

I suspect in some dark, obscure corners, ghastly scenarios far worse have been conceived and considered for contingency purposes. But given supposed reasonable assumptions, many such scenarios are filed somewhere between the circular bin,

There probably is something to this. Perhaps if a different, more specific, standard of measure is applied during query, results will be more applicible for the intended purpose. For instance substituting accomplished for amazing seems to p

I am pleased to see this as I had been tossing around a similar idea as a first-line alternative method of moderation, where commentary/open collaboration would be restricted to those with skin in the game, so to speak, and more or les
