    1. $1 dollar invested in Pelosi Capital Management 25 years ago would be worth $69 million today.

      This is dis-information. Despite the political stand, this statement is simply not true and the author's intent is definitely harmful. The content is fabricated. If you read a few more tweets, you would realize what the author is trying to do - to attack. In regards to investment, there is no way $1 would grow to $69 million in 25 years. Simple math tells us this requires a consistent return of 206% every year and this is against the basic Finance and Economics, not to mention the infeasibility to invest in a private company. This incorrect information drew my attention at first and reading a few more tweets made me aware this is dis-information with the intent of doing harm.

    1. Tran Phat Huy@TranPhatHuy4·Oct 18Who let them in? They runaway from their shjthole china, and now they want to make America another shjthole country! Go back to your “lovely” china! So hypocrisy. #ccpvirus

      This is an example of mal-information. To be honest, Twitter never lets me down when I look for hate speech. The intent here is obvious - doing harm to others. This post clearly contains racism content. As a Chinese living in Canada, I don't think this hate speech should be tolerated on Twitter or any other social platform and I do believe many others have the same idea. The intent of the mal-information can be clearly identified and we should avoid this as much as possible.

    1. In recent weeks, though, I’ve heard from several people with an interesting excuse for waiting to get vaccinated: They say their doctors told them not to. Most of the people I spoke with requested anonymity so they could share sensitive health information. Most would also not give me their doctors’ names in order to shield the providers from negative consequences. The doctors whose names I did get did not return my calls or declined to comment for this story, leaving it unclear what they really think about vaccine exemptions. Some of the people I spoke with may simply be vaccine-hesitant and trying to blame a doctor for their own choice to delay or forgo getting a vaccine. But because doctors are a large and relatively diverse group of people, with varied training, credentials, and personal politics, it makes sense that some doctors would have incorrect views about vaccination.

      This is an interesting argument. I would like to refer it to misinformation. It is acknowledged by governments and health experts in the world that people should get vaccinated to protect ourselves and loved ones. The author intends to show some doctors have different view about vaccination but the wording and subject may confuse readers (many people do not read the whole article). Again, getting vaccinated is the right thing to do. Therefore, 'don't get vaccinated' is easily identified as incorrect. After finishing the entire article, I can see the author's intent which is good faith. So this is misinformation.

      To be fair, the click-able links are operable because they have a hover-interaction feature (mouse becomes hand). But it is not as obvious as colour (or underscore), because colourblind people have to move the cursor line by line to find the click-able words.

      This wiki article contains many click-able links which direct users to another wiki page. However, the best way to identify them is by colour (they are coloured in blue). This is not perceivable for people who are colourblind. A underscore may work better.

    3. According to finance scholar Dr. Frank J. Fabozzi, investors use yield curves to price debt securities traded in public markets and to set interest rates on many other types of debt, including bank loans and mortgages.[4] Shifts in the shape and slope of the yield curve are thought to be related to investor expectations for the economy and interest rates.

      In terms of the robust principal, the wikipedia page displays well in laptops and cellphones. In addition, it works well with the text-to-speech feature on my MacBook. All I have to do is to select the paragraph and click option-esc shortcut.

      This part is a great example of the understandable example. For a page with a lot of information like this one, having a content really helps navigate through the page and find information easilly.
