   You're incorrect, and underestimating the potential profit vs cost. 5c per outbound call, but even if the scammers get 1 or two people a day for $100 (and likely MUCH more), it's just a drop in the bucket to operating costs.

   Waste of time, effort, energy, and fear of rejection. Plenty of downsides.

    I forget my wallet a lot, but I don't forget my phone. Or, if I'm already pulling out the wallet for the card, miswell use the card.

    Two things I _need_ and get from a smart phone that I can't get from a dumbphone - GOOD GPS/Maps, and NFC/contactless payment.

    Definitely. My thought was "HN is hosted on Azure"? So I went looking into their hosting provider, and lo, they were down too. M5 might be Azure hosted... couldn't confirm that.

    You can't eat your cake and have it too. Why are they calling for regulation of this sector, but claiming regulation is the death of companies, in others? The hypocrisy is infuriating.

    As a full time working adult, WGU was _amazing_ for getting a degree, at my own pace. Which was a lot faster than a standard brick and mortar school. You can see the course catalog here [0]. My work paid tuition for my degree, but they had
