Comment Re:These apps are a TERRIBLE idea (Score 1) 73

Don't get me wrong, I get the point of these apps, but you have to assume anymore that these apps are going to share any data they think they can monetize. And in this case, that data is of great value to the authorities in jurisdictions that have asserted a compelling interest in regulating pregnancy.

Comment Right message, AWFUL delivery (Score 1) 107

I don't know who thought this was a good idea, but it doesn't take a special insight or million dollar focus group to understand that your average viewer/voter finds this kind of spectacle deceptive, exploitative and a very pointed example of why the public is distrustful of news media.

Comment But why not both? (Score 2) 75

I'm fine with the idea of updating the image and using an SSD. But it's possible to detect whether SSD or spinning rust I think? If so, why not both images?

I have an HDD I use for for backups - Time Machine. Speed is not of the essence there, cheapness and large'ish capacity is. They're still in use then - until 4Tb SSDs are as cheap as 4Tb HDs they're fine for backup.
