This. I struggle to see how higher savings by the wealthy can cause me to take on any more debt. Is the argument the wealthy use cash to invest in assets (houses), thus driving up the price and causing middle and lower class people to be forced to borrow more to buy a house?

The thought that it's potentially someone's job to consider these things makes me smile.

When starting up Tor, aren't you confronted with a message about not maximizing the window? I wonder how many users follow that and leave it as is.

Is there anything else that makes it not really effective?

Are there any catalysts to reverse our course?

That name didn't mean anything to me, either.

What makes it psychotic? I'd guess he really enjoys what he does. I hope to find something I enjoy that much and do it until I'm 90, too!

If I'm not mistaken, don't Mint Mobile and Google Fi both use T-Mobile infrastructure in the US?

Could you share your reasoning as to why this is Apple abusing its market position?

To me it appears that Apple is simply giving users control and transparency in what data is being used. I understand your point to be that because Apple is so large and controls a large market, they can't make changes like this? Correct me if I'm wrong, but if that is your point, then I would have to disagree. By this reasoning, what could Apple do that wouldn't count as accusing I its market position?

I have never really been a fan. I use it mostly to discover new books and track my reading and goals, which seems to work just fine. However, the Android app, which I use the majority of the time, is pretty bad. The Home tab is blank, with only a search bar and a button to "find your friends." Seems odd for the app to start there. I guess they are trying to push the social media features of it? I'm not interested in that.

On my previous phone (iPhone 6s), the app seemed to be much better designed, though it has been a while since I have used it. Honestly, my biggest gripe is that it's owned by Amazon. I generally try to support smaller retailers when making purchases, and would love to find another service that helps me track my reading and discover new books.

Could it also be that being screwed is a matter of perspective? I imagine in a non-insignificant number of the she-screwed-me-on-the-way-to-the-top cases that the alleged screwee is sour because he or she missed an opportunity or simply was not the better candidate for the promotion?

I'm not being a contrarian, but I think it's interesting how our biases and perspectives shape the way we understand things and situations. I've noticed people (myself included, no don't) trying to spin a situation to make them look or feel like a victim instead of admitting they were simply not as good as the alleged screwer. Not sure if I'm even stating this correctly, but maybe someone can help me elaborate.

I read that as "for sale," and was genuinely concerned for a moment that spam was being posted on HN. :D
