Repost #EconSky

I first read Goodman-Bacon's paper on #DiD and understanding the underlying 2x2 DiDs associated with every Two Way Fixed Effects, it really blew my mind. I found it tough to navigate, but i went step by step. I enclose below the Stata code, which does a simple GB DiD step by step.

That is true. And what are you actively doing about it Hakeem? More of nothing?

Why do these federal judge ruling not apply to all states. Why is it necessary to rule over each state? Ridiculous.

There literally is no contest. GrapheneOS tops all of them.

You're accusing us of doing something we haven't done. Disagreeing with someone and posting another take on the product is not an attack. You don't have to read the detailed post we linked and the posts from privacy/security researchers linked in it, but some people will be interested in it.

None of our posts attacked the creator of the content. We initially posted 2 replies: one providing important information about the lack of proper privacy/security patches for the devices, and the other with a side note about it being a European brand rather than a European designed or made product.

Android Security Bulletin (ASB) for October 2025 is empty:

source.android.com/docs/securit...

However, you can see Samsung has a list of ASB patches for their October 2025 release exclusive to flagships:

security.samsungmobile.com/securityUpda...

It's a small subset of the December 2025 patches.

Our initial security preview release on September 25th with the November/December patches included 1 Critical severity patch and 54 High severity patches, which is the full subset applicable to Android 16. In the past couple days, 5 patches applicable to Android 16 were added and 1 was retracted.

No, /e/ isn't a safe choice for regular users. It's extraordinarily insecure and non-private due to the lack of basic privacy and security patches. Exploiting many of the known unpatched vulnerabilities doesn't require sophistication. Some of these issues are known to be getting actively exploited.

/e/ is worse than many stock operating systems for overall privacy and security. Even on Pixels, they're behind by 2 to 3 years for kernel, driver and firmware patches on many of the models. Lagging many weeks, months and even years behind on high severity privacy and security patches isn't safe.

Rogan doesn't get to back-peddle on this. Rogan enabled Trump the whole time. Rogan is just as much a fascist as Trump.
