211, for cybercrime emergencies.
I'm Dan Kaminsky and if I endorsed this message any harder I'd have to get it tattooed across my chest. Go team.
This is SUPER cool. The average consumer/business owner hasn’t had a meaningful place to report cybercrime except in a few areas with local LE that is cyber-aware. Hopefully this becomes a model for other states to follow.

Can I say how horrible that bar chart is?
Does each country export a higher percentage of its car parts to the US than cars, or is it adding non-comparable percentages?
Is the ratio for car parts the car parts relative to total car part production... or to total car production?
It's somebody who is *already* a professor for other reasons taking on an additional role (in exchange for nice on-campus housing).

The constraint that still needs to be satisfied is that the user shouldn't need to scroll in the inline direction for *each line of text*. A particular block of text should be readable with block-direction scrolling only.

Though I guess you were asking specifically about the viability of tear down and rebuild, and not the whole provision.
In Palo Alto, I think it would be pretty viable. R-1 minimum lot size is 6000 ft², max FAR 0.45:1, so a minimum *conformant* lot would allow 2700 ft² of floor area, which is reasonably dividable.
I think the biggest deal with the fourplex part is the ministerial approval.

... what actual changes were being made for us to evaluate them.
I guess given that there's an implementation to play with in canary there's at least one concrete answer to questions about behavior.
We should probably go back and figure out the list of questions we had. [2/2]

For what it's worth, when the TAG looked at Portals, I think our reaction was that (a) it clearly makes some pretty major changes to how origins (and UI and permissions based on them) work on the Web and (b) the explainer and spec we saw weren't clear enough on what... [1/N]

Also I think we have to start viewing these decisions as metro area decisions and not per-city decisions (with silly historical city boundaries that make no sense for today's world).
