The NYT has been paying roughly the same amount each year for production of news for the last few years, and a steadily increasing amount of "general, sales and admin", even as their gross income from subscriptions has shot up, an

Does anybody else find the Tweet response from Dara Khosrowshahi deeply childish? The in-depth response from Jonathan Hall is, whether you consider it to be biased or not, a well-researched, calm and explained piece of peer-review, but the

Whilst I agree with you that the issue should be addressed by mail clients, these emails are not a numbers game in quite the same way as usual spam. Since they rely on attachments and subject lines that are drawn from an individual user&#x2

This sounds like an insurance problem. You've got events that occur rarely enough to an individual (company) that it's hard to work out what the best course of action is using the limited data that an individual can gather. If the

Historically, there seem to have been many more multi-disciplinary experts[1], it's simply the last few centuries where academic specialisation has been the norm. My general belief has always been that such things were driven by weal

Anybody else surprised by how much a chicken costs in Africa? $5 is £3.45[1] and I can buy a (dead, plucked, gutted, packaged, delivered to my door) chicken in the UK for £2.95[2]. I realise the local supply's much lower because my Sai
