It's also notable for Jesus's consistent affirmation of his own divinity. Not that the synoptics don't, but John is much more explicit about it. For me, that does much to validate CS Lewis's liar, lunatic, or Lord argume

If there's 8 games going on at once, and more than one of them turn out to be good, RedZone is awesome because you essentially get to watch all the good games at once while keeping tabs on everything else. It's definitely a differ

I wish I had this when I was learning the Python data analysis ecosystem. Does a nice job of clearly distinguishing the differences of the major elements.

The NFL has 15-16 games per week. Of those, 4 or 5 are on the local broadcast (three or four on CBS and FOX, one on NBC in the evening). If you want to access the other 11 games, you're reliant on cable-based access. True, but you st

Yeah, cable TV is ESPN and vice versa. Cable TV was basically invented by ESPN and ESPN will die (at least as it currently exists) with cable.

That's completely backwards, ESPN dropped the NHL. NBC picked up NHL rights for next to nothing and did a good job growing the package into a compelling brand, which resulted in them paying a good bit more (yet still less than the othe

Without knowledge of NBC/CBS/Fox's internal balance sheets, this seems unlikely. 1. The sports networks these companies have launched are all fledgling and receive a miniscule subscriber fee relative to ESPN. 2. All 3 broadca

Agree, it really distracts from his point when Piketty deliberately ignores the other obvious factors (religoius extremism, tribalism, power vacuums, etc) and fails to integrate it into the quagmire everyone is aware of.

Ultimately so did the taxpayer. Those bailout loans everyone likes to complain about were some of the best investments the federal government has ever made.

I think if you're really looking to get a sense of how the world works, the best stuff to read are journalistic accounts and histories. Just pick a subject your interested in, do a bit of googling on well regarded accounts of that subj

Sounds pretty similar to what the NFL does anytime one of their stadiums turns 15. Some have argued their should be some sort of law barring states from doing this, due to the zero sum nature at the national level. I just don't see how
