So many social science papers rely on MTurk which is concerning given the poor compensation. With such low payment structures, MTurk is incentivizing people to rush through responses and give responses that they anticipate the researchers w

This is a nice card for beginners to credit cards but I don't anticipate a lot of uptake by consumers familiar with the Uber Barclays or Chase 2% cards.

I'm glad to see NYC catch up to its European counterparts. This could do wonders for the air pollution inequities that exist in the city.

I have two hypotheses as to why that is. Bill Gates is financially involved in a large number of startups mentioned in the article. Good PR = more sales = Gates' portfolio is better off. The other reason is a little more conspiratorial
