That's called a "consignment shop". It's existed forever. Doesn't mean it's a bad idea. Taxis have existed forever and Uber is still a massive success.

The laptop story was very sketchy and treated with suitable skepticism. And now that we have a clearer picture, it's not interesting at all. While the laptop itself may have turned out to be real, I'm not aware that the contents h

Saying the Mueller report disproved collusion is disingenuous. Collusion isn't a legal term and and the Mueller report absolutely enumerated communication and coordination between the campaign and Russian agents. I don't think NPR

Can we use the original article? The Hill is clickbait and not reliable. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/whistleblower-outlines-... https://www.propublica.org/article/how-a-veteran-report

Donations go straight to the local affiliate who probably did not get any corporate sponsorship and very much need listener support. And besides just saying "corporate sponsor" is not an actual indication of them buying coverage.

My two cents is that Berliner was just dead wrong and his opinion based on some really spurious reasoning. He pretty badly mischaracterized several key stories and then cherry-picked some bits and pieces of articles where guests said things

Bias and accuracy are separate axes. Mother Jones is explicitly liberal media, but their reporting is highly factual. Fox News is right-wing and has settled multiple cases over defamation for spreading false stories.

That's not exactly true. For one, all the local affiliates have their own budgets, their own expenses, revenues and staff. Up until this year, NPR was specifically prohibited from collecting donations from listeners. If you had gone to

Just to be clear, when it comes to radio audience, the audience is 100% local stations. NPR does not own any radio spectrum. The structure is that local stations have complete editorial control of their programming so long as it adheres to

I knew a guy who worked on that film and still didn't know what it was about. I personally enjoy the scene where she's touring a house with a broker while it's on fire.

I am not making that argument at all. I'm explaining why the numbers are the numbers. And why the numbers don't capture how people perceive things. I should clarify that I mean the "prices people pay for housing move slowly&q

I am not implying that. But house prices by their nature move more slowly. Even if new listing are more expensive, anyone in a long-term lease or an owner isn't subject to new prices. Or anyone who has exited the housing marker (ie mov

I think the missing context here is the why. Laying out your credentials is probably a good idea if the intent of your presentation is to advance your career. Which I gather is the main reason most people do it. Her advice is centered on de

I'd be pretty shy about sharing wisdom like this after betting so heavily on FTX.

The "free press" is reporting BLS data. And BLS produces a CPI number based on a formula to act as an indicator, not an absolute measure. People tend to react to things they buy frequently which also happen to be the most volatile

I think the term "data broker" is getting slightly abused. Using Google Analytics or a Facebook pixel is almost mandatory for understanding how your site is used. Especially if you don't have a super sophisticated marketing t

There is an all-time great quote from Bjarne Stroustroup when asked about how many people hated C++ > There are two types of programming languages: The ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses.

I have often observed that Java is great because it solves organizational problems. Strong and static types, interfaces and most of all, javadoc, were miraculous for conveying intent to integrators and maintainers. Even seemingly insignific

Inheritance on interfaces is fantastic. Inheritance on implementations is fraught with peril. Java developers figured this out like 10 years ago.

Do SWE for a different industry. Stress, hours, struggling with effectiveness as a new hire can happen to you in almost any role in any industry. It's pretty much down to company culture and even the team you are on. Just find nicer pe

I have to say, I still just don't believe him. I think Nature's criticism is accurate. He's cherry-picking data that shows the rise in depression started in 1999 and only somewhat accelerated around 2010-11. And I think there

The deciding factor is going to end being politics. Democrats will continue pushing mandates and Republicans will try to block or undo them.
