I think each feeds the other. You're right that news orgs that have fed readers' desire for bias-affirming content have done better than those that still aim, however imperfectly, to present the news objectively. But those news or

I'm a former news editor and worked at a metro daily newspaper in the mid to late '00s. Here's the thing: The local news spiral has been going on for decades. Business revenue drops, budgets are cut, leading to voluntary and

Even if it decreases when measuring in weekly or monthly terms, in all likelihood if you're measuring in terms of years and decades, a married person will be doing better than single folks.

The list of indicators are great and spot-on. But in terms of how to assess them, a lot of the advice here boils down to "you'll know it when you see it." So I think this advice is best for seasoned hiring managers. If you&#

What's wrong with "the brush stores the data on itself"? Plenty of consumer products do that.

You've just described the Better Business Bureau. But guess what? There are plenty of underhanded businesses that could care less about a bad rating from the BBB, because the type of customer they're fleecing is not particularly s

This is a site by journalists who cover religion, so their motivation for wanting the public to have some level of religious aptitude is probably different than religious adherents at large. Yet your comment suggests that a greater religiou

Those 20% off coupons allowed them to price an $80 item at $100. If the customer has a coupon, they get that item for as low as the store is willing to sell it for -- which works out to be market price. But if they lack a coupon, they&#x2

Unfortunately, I don't think the sense of resigned acquiescence among old-school journalists is limited to the religion beat. Public sensibilities have changed. The fact that public trust in the media has eroded is a product of the pub

I read through the post, and the way it was written, I was expecting it to be an extended analogy for something else. Does "Lubricate Your Keyholes" mean that you need to plan efficient ingress/egress strategies for your clo

This problem can be extended to systems like project management, where your workers are not computers but people. For instance: Suppose you have a team of six people, and you're being asked to tackle two projects for two clients, each

Yes, it's the new stock image, but one thing I think is a game changer is the incorporation of custom text. I am a member of a homeschool group, and they use impressive AI-generated stock images that always have the group name or other

I am a Catholic Christian and a moral objectivist, so my thoughts are, of course, colored by my own religious and philosophic views. With that disclaimer out of the way ... I don't think this rings true. It suggests that the morality

I agree. The Gildan Heavyweight T-shirts are the kind you pick up at craft stores for $3-$4 a pop. But they tend to be stiff and too warm for my liking. There are a variety of mid-level T-shirt brands (such as BELLA+CANVAS) that feel so m

I still wear T-shirts from vendors at tech conferences that I received years ago. They're durable, and they advertise the company not just to me but to others. But perhaps the swag that has had the most staying power is stuff I could

While I admit it's possible to misread tone, I perceived the tone as dismissive, like "This doesn't matter to me, so I'm shocked that it matters to anyone else." That's a form of egocentric bias, which is not

You've outlined the problems with entrusting the judicial branch and legislative branch handle these issues. But what about the problems with entrusting the executive branch, which can turn over every four years? We've had two ve

I agree with you, which is why it's interesting to see the court divided based on its typical conservative/liberal line. To me, it's fundamentally about the separation of powers. Why, in this case, should the executive branc
