In school, we learned that different portions of the tongue were sensitive to different tastes. It turns out this was fabricated; an exaggeration of the findings of a 1901 experiment. Correlation between taste and tongue area is weak to non-existent.

Webb lays out some background on Polymarket. Since it's already a powerful force, her claim that the origin has been obscured warrants attention.

Polymarket isn't just a place to bet on politics. It's a place where political odds turn into media narratives, donor signals, campaign inputs, and voter expectations.

It sounds like Part 2 will cover the maximal version of that shift. We already see attempts to steer prediction-market graphs against polling data close to elections. The amount of money involved suggests the incentives are not theoretical.

Android still allows apps to detect what other apps are installed? That's as much an OS problem as an app problem, assuming you didn't have to consent to some kind of device management profile first.

It's not unreasonable that an app developer would flag a sideloaded version of a password manager. It likely points to problems far more often than it points to people enacting extra-strong security controls or doing legitimate local builds. But it's not reasonable if the OS enables this capability by default.
