completelylegit··on Rolling Stone 'Horse Dewormer' Hit-Piece Debunked After Hospital Says No ODs
I hate to whatabout this, but sure, Rolling Stone publishes a garbage piece and the conservative outrage machine cranks up.

Fox News does worse, 24 hours a day, every day.

completelylegit··on Court rules California's Prop. 22 on Uber, Lyft drivers unconstitutional
A small price to pay for fair wages on a more level playing field.

I’m not too concerned with the 401k / IRA losses when those gains wouldn’t have happened if contract drivers weren’t taken advantage of to begin with.

Easy come, easy go!

completelylegit··on Jeff Bezos loses attempt to block the Moon-landing contract NASA gave to SpaceX
vaporware is a product that has been announced but never materializes.
completelylegit··on PG&E will bury 10k miles of power lines so they don't spark wildfires
As someone who lives 15 miles from Paradise, CA - A “very expensive solution” makes it sound like there are inexpensive solutions that would be just as effective. If there were, wouldn’t PGE have implemented them?

Maybe its just “the solution”.

completelylegit··on Apple removes ‘Fakespot’ app from iOS App Store following Amazon request
Read the EULA before you use it. You’ll probably change your mind.
completelylegit··on Minimum wage workers can't afford rent anywhere in America
Attitudes like this make life especially difficult for single mothers in low income brackets.
completelylegit··on Nuclear weapons agency breached amid massive cyber onslaught
Is it Hollywood, Silicon Valley, and the Left who are choosing to buy cheap Chinese goods?

Are they forcing Walmart and Amazon to carry those goods?

Are they responsible for the low wages Americans are making?

Did they move manufacturing overseas?

Otherwise a water tight theory ..

completelylegit··on Oxford Professor Is Accused of Selling Ancient Texts
Hobby Lobby illegally purchased and imported thousands of antiquities looted from Iraqi museums.

They knew what they were doing.

Thats part of why their “museum” is frowned upon.

That and the stunning amount of items without any provenance beyond the word of shady antiquity “dealers”

completelylegit··on Tests show bootleg marijuana vapes tainted with hydrogen cyanide
How is it that the CDC has been investigating this for a couple weeks and it was NBC News that found the contamination in their tests?
completelylegit··on Amazon Changed Search Algorithm in Ways That Boost Its Own Products
Locks keep lock-picking ignorant and insufficiently motivated dishonest people honest too.
completelylegit··on Information operations directed at Hong Kong
This sounds like convenient achievement to establish that they’re tough on shenanigans they don’t like.
completelylegit··on WeWTF
I get that the author doesn’t like WeWork, which is fine. But the throw-away comment that there is some tertiary connection to Goop seems unnecessarily personal.

Goop is a bunch of nonsense but I’m not sure why its relevant to why WeWork is nonsense.

completelylegit··on Amazon offered ‘Amazon’s Choice’ to vendors who bought ads and lowered prices
The vast majority of people don’t think about or understand advertising and marketing - if they did it wouldn’t work as well as it does.

Amazon has tons of little “ha ha tricked you” ways of making more money these days.

Next time you but an N-pack of anything on Amazon - more often than not the pack costs more per unit.. thats not how economy of scale is supposed to work right?

completelylegit··on Massive ‘ocean’ discovered towards Earth’s core (2014)
We need to understand. We search for patterns.

Not knowing is an ache that forces some to look and convinces others to stop looking.

completelylegit··on Apple suspends Siri response grading in response to privacy concerns
The day when you can just say “lights on, 50%” and the assistant in the next room understands you don’t mean it is when we will have the right amount of universal compatibility.

Until we can derive decisions based on who is speaking and where they ”are” - I think it’ll always be clunky.

“Hey Alexa tell Hue to set light scene livingroom to 80%” is cool that it exists for those who really need the solution but its not easier or cool for sure but we’re so far from that.

completelylegit··on N.Y.P.D. Adds Children as Young as 11 to Facial Recognition Database
Fingerprints were collected with their permission. There was a lot of stranger-danger anxiety back then.

I guess it’d be good if I had been kidnapped and they could find my fingerprints at the kidnappers house, or prove that I am “me” if I was kidnapped and escaped years later.

My parents bought it as did many others.
