    I hd to do a 4-bit version of this back in 2006 for my Computer Science undergrad. Interesting to see EE students doing it as well. Like many people here, we had to build it on act…

    100%, accepting pre-generated board meeting notes is egregious. This whole thing is awful and I am in no way defending it. The opposite, I think other compliance as a service compa…

    There is a lot of serious allegations in here. But some of these complaints apply to most SOC 2 compliance services. For example: it points out that Delve provides pre-filled docum…

    I'm not convinced that will fix the problem. Even in situations where identity is well known such as work or school, we commonly have bad actors. It's also pretty unpopular for a g…
