Not sure Twitter agrees with you, since they're collaborating with Google* et al on the Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) project - which can be thought of as an open, web-based alternative to Instant Articles. *my employer

Yeah this is it I think. If I can restate more simply for the 3-door case: You pick. The doors are now in two groups: your door (1/3 chance) and the other two doors (2/3 chance). The host picks. The second group is now reduced to

Can we also accept that the "those ignorant savages could never have accomplished this" subtext is ludicrous?

Apart from a $10 settlement check, what's likely to happen to grandfathered unlimited / unthrottled plans?

Pretend for the moment we're in some crazy mirror world where women are frequently mistreated, in ways that many well-meaning men don't see. In this world, it makes sense for a woman to lecture those well-meaning men about empathy
