This is what I'm excited about, too. I work as a developer during the day, but have my home recording setup in the same room, and listen to Apple Music (or other services) all day through that. I don't think we're in the majo

Fair point. That’s probably an endless discussion subject. I could see many arguments for either. I suppose it depends on what the intent was. If it’s just to illuminate the subject, then the ball is entirely in the readers court. It certai

That's not the function of an opinion column, though. He had the freedom to go as far as he wanted for the column of course, but it's not a requirement. The column does carry a disclaimer that he is a member of the editorial board

It's an oversight for sure. I agree that the writer should have asked the question "do we do this, too?" but didn't. At least not in writing. It would have made for a better, more rounded argument. But that's a pr

No. One writer wrote an opinion article. No sane daily (or 24/7) editorial board will dictate the minutiae of an article like that. • Is it factual? Check. • Is the grammar correct (often enough according to a sleep-deprived junior or

It's one opinion article. The New York Times does self-report and self-criticize. And to be clear: the NYT did not write the article. One writer wrote about it. Single opinion articles are not representative of the sum of their publis

This is a bigger advantage for a lot of us that is not widely represented in the usual "pros" of working remotely. I can go for a springtime walk on the trails five minutes from my new place since I moved out of the Toronto downto

The unfortunate side is that the people voting on and installing policies that don’t help workers but tend to punish them have never seen that side of life—one where they’ve had to operate at the mercy of a cruel employer out of desperation

Some degree of it has to just be the grown resentment of established banking. So this is a view of a certain cohort of sentiment, not necessarily exclusive to cryptocurrencies and all that. These days a bank account will cost you money. A

Similar things have happened elsewhere in the media world. I've seen some of them first-hand within the org. It was hard to watch a 100-year old magazine of note continuously stretched to its possible thinnest by the parent company bec

I don't think it's that simple. Even local produce is exceedingly highly priced these days. We've no shortage of produce, and there's no real protectionism going on there. And AFAIK there hasn't been any tax changes

I think most of that is overkill (and not cheap) and most people would benefit just from a cheap USB dynamic or condenser mic direct. Logic Pro is overkill. Apple already offers a live virtual instrument and audio processing rig called Main

The author has absolutely 0 control over that. Directions on analytics come from the "serious, business-minded" end of the company. That is true for every [major] journalism outlet. It's always been true. Don't put that

I don’t think people are programmed that way. I think there’s a disproportionate number of people who take that approach among people who consider themselves smart, maybe because they assume they know better by default. Most people don’t tr

Man, I would fail those screen time monitors so badly. I still work out some things on paper—I think well that way. Other times I have to get up and walk around to work something out in my head. I'd look like a constant slacker.

You might have to accept allegorical instead of literal association—most often anyway (that's the case in any subject). If you break what you're asking down into lower principles or themes, then poets have been writing about that
