I am guessing that as a former Wall Streeter, she has a few green backs parked in a safe place to do this.
Not an easy strategy for most people.

Teen phone tracking app exposed thousands of Apple accounts
(For) TeenSafe to work you have to turn off Apple’s two-factor authentication to use it on an iOS device, making it easy for an intruder to sign in with another device and look at a teen’s iCloud data.
Oh the irony!

A People First Update
People First has a big vision and is moving forward on a variety of initiatives. Life is too short to record it all in detail here ... so I am choosing to reference a few (in alphabetical order);
- (The) Business Of Identity
- CH-MRC
- Digital Puerto Rico
- IndieWeb
- Internet Identity Workshop
- Lost Identity
Some are large far-reaching initiatives some are small ideas. Some I am just interested in, others I am helping get established. I believe all are designed to help 'move the can down the road' in different ways. (The can being that which we each need to move forward to create a better world where people and their humanity are not afterthoughts but at the center of thinking, decisions and action.
And that human-centered perspective got me to thinking about people - and their stories.
So, in parallel with these initiatives, we are also pivoting the site, including moving the blog front and center and dropping the 'WhoWhatWhenWhereWhyHow' pages to a supporting role on the site.
We are also announcing the introduction of a new theme of posts categorized as 'Travels Without Charley' - tipping cap, doffing hat, nodding head vigorously towards one John Steinbeck.
When I face the desolate impossibility of writing five hundred pages, a sick sense of failure falls on me, and I know I can never do it. Then gradually, I write one page and then another. One day’s work is all I can permit myself to contemplate.

The power of the blog, even if it is on Medium
It’s a piece by SF mayoral candidate Jane Kim … calling the SF Chronicle out on their attempted hatchet job.
One of her questions back:
”Why didn’t you fact check the false assertions contained in these questions against publicly available information before contacting me or choosing to move forward with this story?”
Which resulted in them not runing with the story at all …. this is their response
