I get where you're coming from, especially on the cost of bad hires: it really is one of the riskiest bets a company makes. But I'm not convinced going back to the "fly them out and grill them on a whiteboard" era is the

On one hand, yeah, misrepresenting your experience, even if "AI-assisted," is a red flag, especially when the role clearly requires real, practical knowledge. But on the other hand, this is exactly the kind of outcome we should ex

The Scott Trust model is fascinating and doesn't get nearly enough attention, especially given how rare that kind of structure is in modern media

It's a bit of a unicorn model - you need massive scale, a global brand, and a steady stream of high-stakes stories to make reader donations work at this level. Smaller outlets probably can't replicate this

Even with a spread, you're really just narrowing the odds, not guaranteeing a hit

An old-school, no-nonsense diesel truck with zero unnecessary electronics? I feel like it would get funded overnight

You must get a lot of questions (or confused looks) when people see that thing still running! The simplicity of those engines is kind of a lost art these days. Everything now is so computerized that you can't even diagnose half the iss

It's funny how certain brands or bits of tech can feel almost legendary in one place but totally unknown everywhere else

And it's wild for me that we've been teaching it this way for so long just because of a historical guess made before electrons were even discovered

Yep, that's the paradox of learning: sometimes the more you know, the more you realize you don't know

It's funny how the deeper you go into the subject, the more you realize that even the best explanations are just increasingly refined approximations
