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

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 and 10% at best real issues. Almost every major headline

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 like a typical brick and mortar store. I&

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 recession will probably happen in the coming 12-24 months. I use

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 mortgages were bundled, rated AAA, then resold as an inv

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 seeking "Whistleblower" group with minimal intel

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 timeline holds.

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 years that was not followed by a rece

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 historically accurate to a T. On some level i

"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 left the administration especially the st

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, with most traditional publishers remaining trustworth

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 possibility of a wild west chat system.

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 important.

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 grade. Growing up most of our family friends were HP employees

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, knocked unconscious in an accident, you'll wake up in

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 getting people to vote securely. It's those who wish to

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 identical to McDonalds and Burger King consolidating the fast food i

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 higher cost of entry. Although you also benefit from cheaper he

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 the local economy. For China, this means they can buy gold in

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) then their hybrid component breaks and only uses cell which ma

It loves RAM (and probably RAM speed), but not necessarily in a bad way. Jumping to 16gb (2x8gb) from 8gb (1x8gb) on the laptop I first played it on was a big jump in performance even with a GT740.

If I didn't already have a Switch I'd be getting one for that and a few other things. Pokemon sells handheld consoles like no other which is why so many DS hardware releases came alongside a new Pokemon generation. Though I ended
