Also interesting is the finding from @elizabethlinos.bsky.social that the most effective to diversify the force in recruitment is not targeting egalitarians but just widening the pool, period, w/ challenge/financial benefits of position.

Keep in mind the 2% rate of return defrays some of the cost, and the additional hour lets you get in all three hot dogs before 9:30.

It is really sad, since the two reasons for making websites apps are 1) It's easy to create a wrapper for a website to make it an app and 2) you can harvest even more data from an app than from a site.
