It'll got the same route as grandma installing malware. It doesn't matter if credentials are needed unless it creates a real barrier.

Which is one reason a lot of regular phone users are on Android anyway.

Ethics in journalism has fallen hard but was a huge chunk of my college roommates (polysci/journalism major) coursework. In the case of PV, they are 90% unethical disproven fraud a…

Unethical behavior is still unethical if other people are doing it too. In the case of Amazon there isn't a physical evaluation of a product if it's "on and end cap" and promoted l…

The other ratios have inverted over the last 6 months, I think as early as the 5-1 ratio in January. The 10-2 is simply the more extreme indicator and the bigger signal that a rece…

It's a gross simplification, but with the volume that is Danish housing vs demand for said housing the risk is very low. One of many issues leading into the 2008 crash was how Us m…

Everytime PV makes front page news its followed by obvious accusations of bias, editing, taking quotes pout of context, and recently was under felony charges. It's an attention see…

A recession will follow in 12-24 months, based on my understanding of the bond yield curve and close following of it in recent years. We can check in mid 2020 and see if that timel…

It's more like: "It only rains on my birthday. It's raining today - it must be my birthday." At least I'm not aware of any inversions of the 10-2 bond yield curve in the last 50 ye…

The bond yield curve inversion mentioned in the article has led every recession in the last 70 years by 12-24 months. It's an indicator, because we don't know the future, but it's …

"Deep state" is a conspiracy theorist level term for some underground, underhanded Hoover/FBI style group that doesn't exist or is really just career officials, most of whom have l…

99% is memes, random boards, or hate/bigotry/odd. The platform we need right now is proper enforcement of whistleblower protections. Mainstream media is 30% Fox, by viewership, wit…

Alternatively, I can create a new team or channel myself without oversight, standards, or any sort of best practice. That functionality is not locked down allowing freedom but the …

This sounds like ad administrative issue with how Teams are built and organized within Teams. It can be clean, simple, and effective when managed properly but user training is impo…

HP now is incredibly different from HP then. My dad was there for 38 years before retiring, my mom as well before choosing to stay at home and support the family once I hit 1st gra…

That sounds somewhat inelastic. Like gas or basic needs, people will often still use/need healthcare regardless of price, at least as long as it is high quality care. If, say, knoc…

Oregon and other states have a documented history of nonissue with this system, especially compared to existing systems in Georgia or NC. Vote by mail is incredibly successful in g…

I am often disappointed in US healthcare discussions for similar reasons on gun violence discussions. It can work a lot better, we have many examples of this around the world that …

I agree, though I think a universal, single payer system under government oversight without profit seeking drive would be better. Consolidation under the current system is identica…

Now the cost of entry to egg farming is 50% what you experienced and competition doubles as new firms can compete at rates below the margin you need to be profitable given your hig…

I interviewed at Amazon recently but didn't get an offer. I'd say there is clear division between white and blue collar conditions and though I don't want in on the warehouse side …

There may be more data, but a trade deficit is not an inherently bad thing in fact with most nations it strengthens US soft policy by adding US currency and use of US currency to t…

Compact != cluttered I like things dense for better use of monitor space, be it Gmail or Reddit. All that dead space is wasted space, minimalism or not.

It makes a lot of sense and I have several friends who use similar services. But if Tethering disables wifi (at least connecting to wifi as your phone is now acting as a router) th…

More like I subscribe to Netflix but want to watch 2 shows at once which is permitted by my subscription. The provider/Netflix could restrict me to one stream to prevent sharing bu…
