They don't advertise this, but schwab offers 2fa with either a hardware token that they will ship you OR a 2FA token on your phone using https://m.vip.symantec.com/ . You have to call them up, but their customer service is pretty good.
I am mystified by housing/anti-gentrification advocates' refusal to consider building new housing stock as a solution to this problem. And what's with "luxury housing" snub? You can't prevent highly paid tech workers from moving into the city without restricting their freedom of movement.. so why not make some room for them? The "historic character" of neighborhoods doesn't have to be ruined, either.
I'm not opposed to something like her Community Benefits Agreements, as long as it actually does speed the approval process up. Of course, it might be hard to get off the ground, since "While the community coalition might be a representative group, there is no oversight to guarantee appropriate representation", and the rest of the community will always be arguing over who has the right to represent them.

Because an anti-gentrification advocate is bascially saying, "you don't have the right to desire to live in my neighborhood, only I should be allowed to desire to live in my neighborhood"
"Luxury housing" condos often get bought as an investment by someone outside the city rather than by someone within the city looking to move. They tap into demand from outside the city and fail to increase the housing supply and lower housing costs. New York has had a huge problem with foreign investment driving up housing costs [0], and according to realtors I've talked to, foreign investment is playing a large part in driving up SF prices too.
Increasing the housing stock is definitely the solution to out of control prices, but the type of housing built does need to be managed so real demand is met.
The link between the U.S. government's program codenamed PRISM and Palantir's internal software called Prism is completely coincidental. If you take a look at their site, you will learn that Metropolis is Palantir's alias for their finance product[1]. This is obvious just looking at the page in question as it [2] describes how to add Timeseries data. Timeseries data is usually composed of information about stocks or derivatives.
I don't dispute that Palantir deals with much of the nation's intelligence, but attempting to draw a link between two pieces of software that happen to be named the same seems like pretty bad reporting to me. Even if there is a disclaimer at the top of the page.
I was about to post, "Nice try, Palantir employee." Then I got to the full disclosure bit. Fair enough.
I would assume that PRISM is an internal codename for the project within the NSA. Just a wild guess, but perhaps it stands for "Palantir's Repeated Interception of Society's Metadata."
