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.

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
