Good journalism is not taking powerful peoples' word for things when there is considerable evidence to the contrary. If you want to believe Dabiri that's fine, but nothing in the article was factually incorrect and there is still

But then what if his Twitter account was hacked and he really didn't resign? You can speculate all you want, but journalists need to base their reporting on facts.

This is the opposite of dangerous. This is, dare I say, good reporting. Twitter had a very public technical glitch and the next day the head of engineering resigns, there is an obvious connection that can be drawn. If news outlets don&#x27

I would agree with you, but articles almost never cite their sources directly, and never really did.

Everyone is trying too hard nowadays. It's one of the downsides of the internet. If you say "Rock and roll sin't as popular as it used to be" nobody will read your article. If you say "Rock is dead!" you'l

How is that in any way interesting? You conspiracy nuts will draw connections anywhere.

I don't know, I'm not really sure how many subscriptions they've sold. If you listen to his detractors, it's barely anything. If you listen to him directly, it saved Twitter. If the numbers are disappointing but signific

Twitter blue subscribers get boosted independent of the quality of the tweet, blocking them improves user experience.

by Dudelander 3y ago
The funny thing is that I've been doing this for selfish reasons when the $8 blue checks started. Twitter blue subscribers get a boost in the algorithm independent of the quality of the tweet. So if you're extremely liberal about

It does not get a lot of funding from the state. And every competent media outlet has contacts in government.

by Dudelander 4y ago
The source you cite points out that only 8% of public radio's funding comes from federal funding, and less than 1% of NPR's budget comes from federal funding. The federal government does not exercise any editorial control over NPR

Yeah stop trying to "cancel" "cancel culture".

Most respondents agreed with the phrase. And black people are far more likely to be familiar with news related to white supremacy than white people.

So if anyone wants to see a perfect example of Sea Lioning, this is it. This asshole asked a question that could easily answered by reading the link explicitly to waste my time, and had the nerve to state statistics without providing a link

CNS misquoted in a pretty material way. The exact phrase is "It's OK to be white". Not "alright to be white". This matters because "It's OK to be white" is the phase used in a trolling campaign in 2

Elon had every programmer literally print out their code on paper. Occom's razer suggests that he just didn't know what Slack was and thought it wasn't important.

Nobody has time to read everything. Blocking Twitter blue subscribers is a quick way to weed out bad content. It basically allows me to use the algorithm organically, while weeding out content that is artificially boosted.

by Dudelander 4y ago
I've noticed that twitter blue subscribers often are high up in the list of replies, and are often (but not always) lower quality. I've gotten in the habit of blocking Twitter blue subscribers as well, and it has improved the qual

I was stuck in a dead end job in my late 20s, did the 2 years in a community college and 2 years in a "real" college thing, and began a career as a computer programmer when I was 34. It's actually easier to do in your 30s bec

This needed to happen. Even with tax credits EVs are not as good as a fuel efficient gas cars. I think the price needs to come down a little bit more to compete with hybrids, but this is a step in the right direction. I also think that the

I think the issue here is an obvious conflict of interest and general hypocrisy. It also is an pretty good counterexample to the whole idea of freedom of speech absolutism. Someone is always going to decide what speech is preferable and tha

Not it's not possible. Bike transportation reduces automobile demand for the main demographic that buys Teslas - urban professionals.

That's just not true. The two cars behind that one were well more than two car lengths apart. Following too close is a non-sequitur.

by Dudelander 4y ago
That was absolutely not the case in this accident. The Tesla swerved in front of the car in the next lane and then suddenly slammed on the breaks. The two cars behind that one were driving several car lengths back. There was no way for this

I think a lot of this depends on how often drivers use the AP feature, and how many close calls have been caused by the AP. It's also pretty important to get an idea of the timeline of those crashes. If there was a spike in crashes aft

Lot of assumptions here: 1) "High" IQ is necessary to make semi-conductors? Why, because of low tolerances? In that case it just needs people who are really careful. 2) IQ is universal. This is not the case - a 100 IQ is set to be
