The blog post references translating between English and Indian Sign Language (ISL). I interpreted that to mean translating between spoken English and ISL, not ASL and ISL.

Regardless, I’m curious how (dis)similar ISL is to ASL.

I agree, tents don't preclude housing. Let's help the homeless get into housing, but let's not force them out of tents.

Awesome! Do you foresee corporations contributing to fundraising? Unpatent seems like a great way to raise awareness of overreaching patents, but individuals have little incentive to contribute financially. Corporations have both the incentive and financial resources to contribute.

Apple does not use SMS to send 2-FA codes if you have another "trusted device". [1] However, I tried recovering my account as if I were a thief and I could use the forgot password feature to send an SMS code to initiate a password reset. From there I was able to reset my password after verifying the credit card attached to the account. So even with 2-FA enabled you're screwed if they stole your wallet too.

If your phone is stolen call your carrier and have them disable the number or invalidate the sim.
