Yes, you can play with statistics that way if you want to sweep the problem under the carpet. If only the victims could get their potentially life changing losses amortized over the country's population somehow.
It seems remarkably low, especially since it's supposedly the victims reporting to the FBI "some sort of phishing scam", (just phone scams, or including email etc?) "A whopping 26,379 people."
I sync them to my laptop and keep them there for 30 days. Within those 30 days, I either post them in Whatsapp/Facebook stories or send them to family/friends. Then, I just delete them.
By law, in the Netherlands, employees are allowed to reduce their work hours. Allegedly, unless there is a clear, critical business need for you to work the entire week, the company is not allowed to deny your request.
I would love to work fewer days per week, and use the extra time to focus more on my personal development & side projects. However, at my current level of discipline, I'd be fooling myself if I said I would use the time productively.
That said, the idea is still very tempting and I intend to do it in the next couple of years. In the meantime, I fully enjoy all of my 24 PTO days and make use of our policy for getting 5 extra unpaid days without justification.
Once the cookie's set, I tend to go straight through.
That annoyance is considerably less than all the others a full-JS Twitter imposes. Including the motherlovin' account-creation nag that shows up all the motherlovin' time.
One click through at entry rather than random annoyance in the midst of reading? A net win. And an incredibly sad commentary on the state of the Web.
It seems you picked a solution and are now looking for a problem. If you have to ask these questions, don't have problems with your current setup and perhaps switching is not really necessary. The better questions to ask are:
- What are the shortcoming of your current site that would require you to have your own proprietary solution?
- Would the cost of implementing the solution be less than the benefit of the move?
