I think you are underestimating the cachet specific anchors have with their viewership, especially the over 50 crowd which constitutes most of CNN's viewership. Yes, you could find a competent and attractive person to fill the slot, bu

To be fair, I don't think anyone anticipated the scale (and thus scrutiny) Binance would achieve circa 2018. Still Incredibly Stupid.

Whatever the unforced errors that Licht made were, I think he was never going to overcome the difficulty of trying to compete with a "centrist" news network. The big problem with this is not just viewers, but the network talent, w

I think the case of medical workers would be considered a bit differently, and deservedly so. Despite that, I think the Supreme Court's ruling on this case was essentially correct for this specific situation, although I think it's

It sounds like you should not make your project open source, because there is no compelling business reason to. You only cite a speculative benefit of potentially being able to reach more customers, but it seems like these are not the peopl

I agree with others here that it should be the end-users job to handle the output in a reasonable manner which limits the breakage of things, but I think a good point is implicitly made, it is very hard to manage programs when the API is ju

I think this is a really a naming convention issue. Len() is ambiguous, you really want either num_chars() or utfxx_len(). Of course, the issue of what counts as a character is confusing in its own right...

From a business perspective, it never made sense for Reddit to support free API access for third party apps for as long as they did. Now, they are effectively killing those apps. The thing "not based in reality" was expecting it t
