One common argument against statewide zoning reform is that local control of zoning is a venerable democratic norm. But in fact, state government often controls local land use in a variety of ways. In recent years, some state governments have sought to reform local zoning by limiting localities' ability to exclude new housing. One of the most common arguments against such reform is that local control of zoning is so well-established as to be a democratic norm. For example, Aaron Renn writes that banning single-family zoning involves a “shift from local to state control... would completely upend this country's traditional approach to land use.” (1) But in fact, state government already interferes with local control in a variety of ways, especially in regulation-addicted states like New York. For example: *The state caps floor-area ratio at 12. This means that a landowner cannot build anything with over twelve stories, unless it a) allows some floor area to go unused or b) purchases development rights from other landowners or otherwise takes advantage of arcane zoning loopholes. This law seems to be limited to New York City. Because car pollution is reduced when people are allowed to build housing and offices in

By Shubhi Mishra: Dating apps are quite common these days. And, there is a bio that each app has, like on Instagram and Twitter to write a short, crisp description about yourself. Well, the bio can include your likes, dislikes, hobbies, age and what you are looking for in an individual. However, a user actually listed his entire educational history with percentage and ranks as well. Yes, you read that right. A screenshot of the same was shared by a page called Indian Chan on Twitter. The post featured the bio of a 24-year-old man named Ankit Jha. However, instead of sharing anything about who he was, Ankit listed down his educational qualifications. From what he scored in Class 10 and 12 to his JEE Mains and Advanced rank, Ankit had written it all. According to the bio, Ankit had graduated from IIT Bombay and currently worked at Infosys.See the post here:Well, no points in guessing that the post grabbed a lot of eyeballs and an array of reactions from social media users. "Something seems wrong. Can't find any LinkedIn profile," a user wrote.Another user commented, "This definitely can't be true."See the comments here: Something seems wrong can't find any

As Elon Musk tears at Twitter's credibility by demanding businesses and individuals pay for their blue verification checks, Microsoft is pushing ts own free digital ID technology to companies and their employees on LinkedIn. Later this month, Microsoft will let organizations use its Verified ID tool to prove their workers' employment, with staff then being able to display that employment verification on their LinkedIn profiles. Like the trust the unpaid-for blue check mark on Twitter once conveyed, the Verified ID on LinkedIn will show that the people on the business-focused network – which has about 900 million users – work at where they say they work. "By simply looking for a Verification, members and organizations can be more confident that the people they collaborate with are authentic and that work affiliations on their profiles are accurate," wrote Joy Chik, president of identity and network access at Microsoft.

It's a tool in the company's larger push for a decentralized approach to digital identities. "In our everyday lives

First Twitter then Facebook and now LinkedIn has announced a new way of verifying users’ identities and employment roles. Unlike Twitter and Facebook, LinkedIn verification won’t cost you even a single penny which seems like a hard step in the era of cost-cutting and economic pressure. LinkedIn will partner with CLEAR in the US and the accounts will be verified by the user’s government id and phone number. As soon as the accounts are verified users will see the “Verification” section underneath the “Connect” and “Message” buttons. Verified users Bots and fake profiles have always been a problem for LinkedIn and Facebook, Twitter. One side where Twitter brought this feature first, followed by Facebook, and LinkedIn has also joined the clan. Last year LinkedIn brought the “About the Profile” feature through which a user can see if another member has verified his phone number and has a work mail id. It also shows the date when the user joined and when he updated his information. Now this step in partnership with CLEAR by LinkedIn enables US LinkedIn members to get their account verified. There is one more way to demonstrate the authenticity of your profile by verifying through a company-issued

Networking site and recruitment platform LinkedIn has announced a new way of verifying users' identities and employment roles that won’t cost them a penny.Unlike Twitter and Facebook, which both charge for the service, LinkedIn has devised a plan to offer verification marks free of charge in the hope that it may broaden the appeal of the platform in an era of cost-cutting and economic pressure.At launch, the Microsoft-owned platform will partner with CLEAR in the US only to verify a user’s government ID and phone number, in turn awarding them with a new ‘Verifications’ section underneath the ‘Connect’ and ‘Message’ buttons.LinkedIn verified accountsLinkedIn, along with other platforms like Twitter, has come under a lot of pressure in recent months after fake profiles have been causing headaches for users, often being used for spam purposes.CLEAR verification adds to the existing workplace email verification method available globally, though it’s worth noting that only 4,000 companies are supported and the existing service is of no use to freelancers and self-emploed workers.Additionally, a partnership with the Microsoft Entra Verified ID platform aims to give as many as two million LinkedIn users free digital workplace IDs.LinkedIn Vice President Oscar Rodriguez explained in a blog post

To combat the surge of fake LinkedIn accounts in recent years, Microsoft has introduced Entra Verified ID, a new feature that allows users to verify their workplace on the business-focused social media platform. Verified ID automates verification of identity credentials (Source: Microsoft) How to verify your workplace on LinkedIn With Entra Verified ID, organizations can create customized digital employee IDs that employees can use to prove their current employment with the firm. LinkedIn users can access the workplace verification option on their profile, retrieve their digital employee ID, and then share it on their LinkedIn profile. “Verified ID is built on open standards for decentralized identity, which operates on a ‘triangle of trust’ model involving three parties: an issuer, a holder, and a verifier. For instance, an organization can act as an issuer by cryptographically signing a digital credential and issuing it to an employee as a digital employee ID,” said Joy Chik, President, Identity & Network Access at Microsoft. “As the credential holder, the employee can decide to share their credential with apps and websites, such as LinkedIn. Then the verifier can cryptographically authenticate that the digital employee ID is genuine and was issued by the place of work

Microsoft is the company that owns LinkedIn since December 2016, although both companies operate independently. It is the Redmond-based firm that usually offers data on the use of the professional social network when it publishes its quarterly fiscal data. LinkedIn currently has 875 million users. However, it should be noted that, unlike other social networks, LinkedIn does not offer data on monthly active users -such as Facebook- or daily active users -such as Twitter or Snapchat- but rather its figure corresponds to the number of profiles created on the platform. , so the comparison with these other networks is impossible. some analysts estimated at 500 million active users per month the number of LinkedIn but it is not an official data. What we do know is the number of profiles created on LinkedIn, which currently exceeds 875 million worldwide. Of these, it is estimated that in Spain there are some 17 million profiles created, while in Latin America as a whole 78 million profiles have been created. Ranking of the 10 countries with the most LinkedIn users in the world According to data provided by Statista, these would be the 10 countries in the world with the most LinkedIn profiles
