I think the era of single sources for news coverage is over, for better and for worse. On the one hand, it's harder to just dial to one place on the radio/TV/internet and be well-informed; on the other hand, if you do the wor

I don't think anyone said it was impossible for people to get together on their own, so I'm not sure how most of your objections track. These are just reasons people might prefer to have semi-official gatherings.

The front-and-center portfolio is the "Boglehead" three-fund portfolio, which is stock/bond index funds. It's not exactly the too-good-to-be-true gold rush model.

The Net Neutrality debate seems so quaint now. In January 2021, ISPs are pretty much the least likely level of the stack to interfere with who can be on the internet. Hosting companies, cloud providers, payment providers, and big media plat

First, you responded to a comment saying other news organizations wrote about "the issue" without using his name with a request for examples, so the New Yorker is one. Second, the NYT isn't obligated to withhold his name, jus

I don't think this is true. Imagine a low-rent neighborhood that's close to a desirable location (for offices, or nightlife, or parks, or whatever). As the city grows, people will prefer to live in a renovated version of that neig
