When I did paralegal work in NY, we often used Blumberg Forms and just assumed that it covered our needs.

Let's not forget the exploit vector that it offered. Since they allowed you to export your bookmarks from IE/ Firefox/ Safari, lots of folks would bookmark a paywall site and append the login info (i.e. WSJ L:ABC P:123)

Adobe missed a huge opportunity to 'fail safe' and provide their products free to existing customers in Venezuela. They have the IP range... just whitelist them and declare their accounts free.

Reminds me of the concept of 'Perfect Security' from the 1800s
https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/perfect-security/
The pursuit of lock-picking is as old as the lock, which is itself as old as civilization. But in the entire history of the world, there was only one brief moment, lasting about 70 years, where you could put something under lock and key—a chest, a safe, your home—and have complete, unwavering certainty that no intruder could get to it.
This is a feeling that security experts call “perfect security.” Since we lost perfect security in the 1850s, it has remained elusive. Despite tremendous leaps forward in security technology, we have never been able to get perfect security back

My experience with Slack has been the mixed bag of "I love this", "Turn it off", "I couldn't be global without it".
What makes me long on this stock is their position as leader of the Work Graph.(0) SAP and Salesforce have strong positions as trailing indicators of workplace knowledge (this is the information/ process that matters most to us) but Slack and to a lesser extend MS Teams are leading indicators of WHY the information/ process matters.
