Looking at the affidavit [1], Executive 1 is definitely the ex-CEO.

Paragraph 18 [1] mentions Executive 1 being upset about an Apr 10th article [2] on their compensation.

tl;dr Scoot & Skip were selected.
The PDF[0] outlining SFMTA's evaluation criteria for each company application is interesting. A lot of them were rated pretty poorly, even Lime & Bird (especially) which both had a large presence before the shutdown.

Page 4 of the Scope[0] document looks particularly useful in broadly (albeit briefly) highlighting the various domains inside computer security.
Could be a nice 1 pager for highlighting some of the things I do to outsiders. Would be useful to those looking to get into this field (i.e. CS undergrad) too.

Good point! It looks like all of the rules are here[1], so as long as there is oversight by the EFF, their repo isn't compromised, someone doesn't put out a fake build, etc., we should be safe.
Also it looks like[2] some rules are built in such a way that only the protocol is changed and the domain is left as-is.

There needs to be another party in there to communicate with the phone regardless, right? I simply interpret that quote to mean you can use the "switch" with a 3rd party service like Android Device Manager / Cerberus, that Qualcomm is not operating directly.
Actually, looking at the video it appears they're partnering with https://www.lookout.com/ for this.

IIRC they probably mean to detect them through how they operate on the website, rather than how they register (tracking navigation, how they upvote/downvote, and what content they post).

Quote from a previous article (so I wouldn't attribute all 8% to bots):
We’re experimentally removing CAPTCHA and using other methods for spambot detection.
We know it’s annoying for humans, and are starting to worry the bots are actually enjoying it.
Plus, our visual CAPTCHA was failing on accessibility for non-visual redditors.

On the contrary, virtually no exchange can currently provide that kind of liquidity, so if someone is looking to be a Bitcoin bag-holder this is a great entry point. So I wouldn't be surprised if it went for > market value.
Re:Is that photo legit? Izitru offers an answer

Seems like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. And I'm weary as to how reliable their automated methods for tamper detection are (if someone really cares they would want every image manually examined anyway).
It also seems like these two quotes are contradictory:
> It won't necessarily help you figure out if a photo shared on Facebook is too good to be true...
> ...Izitru also could help when people need to send photos to...others who would want to be sure a photo is legitimate
