@SirBemrose I was once told that when Betsy DeVos advocated critical thinking, that was a "dog whistle" conveying support of creationism. The term can be and is used to assert hidden subtexts without any evidence.

@SirBemrose They said to check "every few weeks," which is barely better than not checking at all. I guess their TVs are insecure but you're not supposed to really care.

@SirBemrose It isn't plausible that 5G short-range access points will be "everywhere." They make economic sense only in densely populated areas. Most of the country will keep using low-density towers. Not to say that privacy concerns aren't real, but that article paints an unrealistic picture of them.

@SirBemrose One more reason to stay away from GoDaddy. According to ZDNet, they said they'd stop doing it after they were caught. https://www.zdnet.com/article/godaddy-javascript-injection-tracks-website-performance-but-might-break-it-too/

The curious thing about this "shutdown" is that Trump hasn't actually vetoed anything. It's Congress which is too deadlocked to pass any appropriations. Messy as that is right now, it's actually a good sign. Trump wanted a vast new authoritarian program, and he got the reverse. Homeland Security is being starved.

The Libertarian Party of New Hampshire reports that Facebook axed a post where it linked to a news article on Libertarian candidates. If you aren't a Democrat or Republican, you're "inauthentic"! https://twitter.com/LPNH/status/1054734424049418243
