Chiming in to agree about Ars. I was really disappointed to see how there was no fact checking when the Voynich Manuscript "decoding" came out (granted they did publish an article retracting it, but even a cursory amount of fact checking could have told you that theory held no water), I simply don't trust any articles they publish outside of their core tech competency (and seeing articles like this hurt even my trust on that). I would like to see an alternative, but the only thing I really read for tech news past them is here.
- agumonkey 9y agoThe voynich issue was a black spot. But somehow they tried to evolve bigger and got far from what they were. It was a very simple website before but the articles and people around were high grade. Now it's big thing with less quality all around. Market dynamics I suppose.

- DarronWyke 9y agoThey already did that when they went anti-GG and started taking cues from people like Brianna Wu. That was the start of the decline for them.
