"These queries reveal that Github, the New York Times, and Medium are the sources the Hacker News community trusts the most."
I agree it says something about how HN regards the NYT; but isn't saying Github or Medium are "sources the community trusts" like saying paper is a source someone trusts because they get their knowledge from books?
- mikestew 8y agoIn the case of Medium, it says essentially that right on the tin. Because, you know, the medium is not the message.
- craftyguy 8y agoI always interpreted the name as being "it (the content) is not high quality, or low quality, it's medium quality"
- muzz 8y agoMaybe it has multiple meanings, but I thought medium referred to the length of content. As opposed to short form (Twitter) or long form (articles, papers, etc)
