As a practical matter, studies about links between major diseases will always always be talking about correlation.
To reach 'causation' would require intentionally giving your experimental subjects Covid-19 (and in a way that didn't result in them knowing they'd had it!), and that's unlikely to pass muster with the ethics review board.
Hm, I thought other methods could be used to establish causation, such as longitudinal cohorts, RCTs, and (another randomization I'm forgetting), that wouldn't require infecting humans, but maybe I'm confusing these
Curious why the post has two hyperlinks to the WP Engine domain, and additionally without rel="nofollow", if they despise them so much. Isn't that WordPress essentially passing SEO link juice to WP Engine?
Seconding this. It's free to create accounts at the 3 agencies (Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian) and place an indefinite freeze until you need to apply for credit in the future.
Sometimes people sit on the data in these breaches for years before using it, after the dust has settled, assuming people have since let their guard down.
Unfortunately, it's also worth noting that you typically opt into allowing these agencies to sell your data during signup, so after be sure to comb through the privacy policies for opt-out links and submit requests to prevent the agencies from sharing your data with third parties for marketing offers, etc.
Strange, do you have any browser security extensions, aggressive cookie-blocking, or something similar? I was able to complete the process (see my comment below). I'm using Brave with ad blockers. The "deactivate" language is pretty misleading, but after entering account credentials, it did seem to delete the account completely.
This is pretty shocking. I never use Glassdoor anyway, so deleted my account after reading. Worth noting that going to Settings only shows a button that says "Deactivate account", which seems misleading. Following this process does show a modal at the end that says "Account Deleted Confirmation. You have successfully deleted your account.", so seems like this is actually deletion vs. deactivation. (Your data stays in an archive DB for some period of time for legal reasons.)
Careful: Those are just words, written by someone who thought that the difference between them is insignificant. (Maybe it was insignificant when it was actually written.) Without having concrete confirmation, all you have is just some optimistic assumption.
also worth noting that if you attempt to go in via the mobile page, specifically to delete an account that predates "fish bowl" and mandatory names, you'll be bombarded with cascading popups that require your compliance (no x to exit, just "next" and filling in the relevant forms).
Based on this story, I already knew to expect resistance, but jesus fuck that was far worse than I imagined.
Interesting. I've been using Things (similar to Apple Reminders) for 10+ years, which I thought was really minimal, but a .txt is about as barebones as you can get. Makes me want to give it a whirl. Curious about the use of Remote Desktop with a mobile device. Being an iPhone user, I'd prefer putting it in iCloud Drive or something more easily accessible natively.
No idea why your comment is gray, but I agree. The site looks horrible. The text is so thin, it is almost unreadable (at least on macOS). Not to speak of the constantly changing visuals styles and fonts, which make the website feel like a mess, something a backend developer (no offense, not everybody has to be able to make nice looking landing pages) threw together in a day before the deadline.
Could not have articulated it better, especially when compared to other MS project sites like https://www.fast.design/. Maybe the dev or someone on the team downvoted me :/
After installing across 3 platforms and testing it out, it works as advertised, looks nice, and doesn't seem to cost anything (yet). Tough to find software "application" offerings like this.
I saw their pricing page, but I’m a little confused. Do they have funding? Is this someone’s passion project that they are paying for out of their own pocket? I’m unsure how or why it’s free right now?
