As a NYC resident and white man, I found the subway broadly safe from _violent_ crime. My female and/or asian friends had significantly worse experiences: some were grabbed, others followed, some verbally harassed. It's not a dyst

Failing to engage with ideas you find distasteful just creates a vacuum of good information; which is the environment where conspiracy theories thrive. I've followed Graham Hancock for twenty years and have yet to see anyone properly d

I first heard about network styles listening to Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould on the _Better Call Saul Insider_ podcast. Many studios have them. A unified style streamlines production at the cost of artistry. A typical television episode h

While your statement is true it reads like a non sequitur because it misunderstands GP’s objection, which is not to others’ opinions but rather to unfiltered noise in the workplace. Or rather, to a product that pipes in noise that deliberat

I’m dubious that the equation is so simple. > Road capacity is a function of number of lanes, the velocity of the vehicles traveling in those lanes, and the density of the vehicles traveling in those lanes. If you reduce the latter, you

The headline emphasises the vehicle make, and we assume this is another criticism of Tesla’s autopilot tech. But that determination has not been investigated yet. If the headline instead emphasised that the driver of this vehicle was sevent
