So: I rolled-over a post-tax Roth IRA into @Vanguard_Group. The check was *labeled "Roth"*

...aaand they deposited it into traditional, pre-tax IRA.

So now I'm out X thousand dollars -- and no, Vanguard won't help fix it. Careful who you bank with.
@Vanguard_Group Lord give me the confidence of a multi-billion dollar bank to take people's money, misuse it, and act like you did nothing wrong. Happy Monday to you, too, @Vanguard_Group.
@Vanguard_Group *trillion. $3.5 trillion. Wow. inquirer.com/philly/busines…

1/ The most vulnerable are in a no-win situation:

The unhoused struggle to have privacy (or control) in their lives.

Yet those who *find* shelter often live in spaces designed to maximize surveillance.

(Sound familiar?) #colorofsurveillance
2/ At #ColorOfSurveillance, @GotNoPlace will explain the maze of local laws that basically criminalize not having a home.

Countless cities make it illegal to sleep, sit, "loaf," loiter, or ask people for help.

From the #HousingNOTHandcuffs report (PDF: homelesshub.ca/sites/default/…)
@GotNoPlace 3/ Yet, as Dr. Jade Boyd of @BCCSU will tell us, those who *do* find shelter find themselves in yet another monitoring matrix of bright lights, gates, glass panels, perfect lines of sight, etc.

From "Supportive Housing and Surveillance" (2016): ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

1/ For the unhoused, giving up deeply personal information is a part of daily life.

Below -- a template for the Homeless Management Information System intake form for homeless people seeking shelter. #colorofsurveillance
2/ Many may assume that poor and working class people don't value their privacy.

The crushing reality is that the *opposite* is true. The less money you make, the *more* you worry about what happens to your data.

@mary_madden showed this in a recent @datasociety survey:
@mary_madden @datasociety 3/ It gets worse:

Not only do poor and low income folks care more about their privacy -- the consequences of privacy breaches often have far greater consequences than they do for the wealthy.

@mary_madden explains for the @NYTimes: nytimes.com/2019/04/25/opi…

0/ Today, @GeorgetownCPT is opening RSVPs for #ColorofSurveillance on November 7.

My co-organizer @gabriellexgem and I will announce speakers on a rolling basis, but I thought I’d offer some reflections on the big picture themes of the conference.
@GeorgetownCPT @gabriellexgem 1/ I used to think that surveillance of poor & working people was a modern thing, not too central to the history of surveillance.

I’m not alone: As @gabriellexgem wrote @Slate, Congress holds hearings galore on consumer privacy... but not worker privacy. slate.com/technology/201…
@GeorgetownCPT @gabriellexgem @Slate 2/ I was wrong. Take the Poor Laws of 1598 & 1601. As Steve Hindle @TheHungtington explains, they didn't just help the poor. They enforced “canons of social respectability.”

Want to track if the poor go to church? Paint a pew "For the Poore" in big red letters. See who shows.

X : The key to culture is performance.
Me : Hmmm, that's pretty vague. I presume you mean you hope to improve performance through nudging culture?
X : No, I mean if you have people that aren't performing you need to get rid of them.
Me : Ah ... where to begin?
X : You don't agree with removing people?
Me : Quite the opposite. I do agree but for arseholes who endanger the culture whether they're performing or not performing arseholes. This is a group activity you're talking about?
X : Yes
Me : Ok ...
Me : Your focus needs to be on performance of the team as a whole, not an individual. Now, there are many factors that come into play but one of these is safety ... think of it like creating a "family" not a team ...

I need my followers to watch over Bill Pulte.

No, I don't want money from him.

I don't want people taking advantage of a man doing amazing things for random people.

I will tell a story, for you, @pulte
I had a terrible time in New York, fighting for custody of my daughter.

It started because of a drug addiction, involving my ex.

If you don't take a stance in court in NY as a man, you lose.

If you do take a stance, you lose..
I had three judges throw me out of a court room, simply because I wanted the ability to see my daughter.

My ex entered into a treatment court. It is supposed to be a 12 month program, which took her 3 years to graduate, due to 7 positive drug tests...

X : Do you think Amazon should be broken up by the US Gov?
Me : That depends on what the Gov wants. If the US wants to sacrifice future technological position to China in order to save a bunch of execs who can't adapt, gameplay or perform their role then it makes sense.
... personally, rather than handing the future to China, I would argue for execs of competitors learning to adapt, up their gameplay and perform their role rather than some Gov helping hand.
X : Can Amazon be defeated?
Me : Hmmm, I'm not keen on the defeat concept but certainly Amazon is vulnerable to better gameplay, better doctrine and unexpected consequences ... the same as anyone else.

Over the past few months, several scam accounts have popped up that call themselves #resistance. Some ask for #donations to help impeach Trump. Some sell shirts, phone cases, etc. And there are others that ask for money for various causes. THREAD 1 #scam #donate #con #PSA
I’ve written about some before, I have a collection of threads about them here. 2

Traditional towns built with terrain: hills, valleys, stairs, steps, corners, odd squares. Landscaping unnecessary/uneconomical. (Stockholm)
Modern dis-urbanism has buildings/houses separated, apart, at best standing-off across wide streets, making community impossible. (Hamburg)
Traditional urbanism means buildings are tight, close, interlocking and over-looking, often built right into their neighbors. (Colmar)
