I'm going to try and exemplify the "why" in a much shorter ammt of space using some arbitrary numbers - SCENARIO 1: - Year: 1965 - # of jobs requiring college degree: 75 - annual college graduates: 60 SCENARIO 2: - Year: 2018

5 months is prly not enough time to fix whatever hell this would unleash. I'll stop short of saying Equifax doesn't need to be scared of bad press, but I will say the silence around this is at least partially to protect the people

This is just about as delicate an information-security problem as the world has faced. It'd be one thing if you got a letter in the mail re: your personal exposure, but there's a very serious assumption that everyone is glossing o

Semantic discussions (such as debating a definition) tend to make us intellerrrrlectuals argue about things we agree on, as appears to be the case here. It's helpful to split Philosophy into two over-arching conceptual umbrellas: - Epi

I'd argue the distinction is not as clear as you think. You use the words proven & true as if the word we use to describe gravity isn't "theory." Considering Philosophy to be a superset, inclusive of mathematics but
