Probably one of the lowest quality posts I've seen remain on HN's front page for quite some time. To pivot is to fail, to recognise one's failure, to pick oneself up and try again in another direction. On a personal level it's admirable. On a business level I've no opinion as these pivots are all privately funded. When the NYT is publishing these weird, poorly written and badly strung together political rants, is it any wonder they're "losing" in the age of new media?
