Paycheck to paycheck surveys are just vibes, last time these companies ran this survey 36% of people making over $250k said they were living paycheck to paycheck: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/06/03/wealthier-amer

Casinos do fine. Robinhood probably won't be the next Vanguard but they've essentially created the casual betting market version of investing.

Cause I have worked in NYC media and know that Vice writers use "landlord" as an insult? The impetus for this piece was someone wrote a tweet that got very popular implying Google is somehow trying to cover for "landlords&quo

I object to "articles" that are essentially just popular tweets puffed up. Don't think that is good journalism and don't think it needs much more detail.

This is an article nearly entirely built around a viral Tweet regarding "landlord" cause Vice writers live in a strange world where that is essentially a slur they want to use, and then found two edge cases to make it an "art

This is where the weird negativity around billionaires taking loans is odd, even as someone who doesn't particularly like Musk. Sure, if their stock holdings keeps increasing in value, they can handle the loans easily and come out ahea

This piece is mostly a response to how people here thought the author was too paranoid about being honest in an exit interview. And the answer is unionization? I 100% agree you should be a mercenary at work. Look out for number 1, HR isn&#x

Buzzfeed's purpose was to make money. Buzzfeed News was a semi-successful attempt to take money from advertisers who preferred high minded NYT/WSJ type audiences by gaining the reputation of "no, no, you see Buzzfeed News is

So this is a bit silly, but I got today's Wordle with a somewhat lewd slang for a female body part for the second word. Tried replicating in the NYT version, and said it wasn't in the word list.

This reminds me of the Key and Peele robber sketch when the heist plan is to get a job at the bank, work there 30 years, and get a regular paycheck so the bank is giving you the loot without ever suspecting it.

Technically "fair", yes. When you lost by over 40 points, it is also pointless.

Online pollsters mostly "pay" their respondents, and did just as poorly as phone pollsters this go around.

Existence of Tier 3 reduces Tier 2's value more than money taken from Tier 3. NYT's sales pitch to advertisers is access to the intellectual/monetary elite. Saying "here, you can access only the less spendy ones" is

Yup, that is the idea. Obviously it would be less useful than standard headphones for a HN reader, but the mass market may disagree. For example, to use the parent cliche, my sister got my father AirPods this Christmas despite me saying it

I've idly thought that Spotify should get into hardware. Headphones and/or speaker, purchase it connected to your account, and one touch button to a stream of music you like. Obviously a million times easier said than done, but ha

I have to imagine that Vox Media is not going to allow people to write for them for free for a number of reasons, and the community the website developed is probably a main reason why they wrote there.

Lot of people are confusing "following standard procedures" with "immune from consequences". To be honest, looks like the employee got a few sympathetic people to sign off on an inappropriate use of a tool. According to

Bloc is harder to categorize given it is a party mostly to promote one province's preferred policies. In general, their positions are fairly left wing because Quebec itself is quite left, but has a few oddball positions that skew right

Would have given Liberals a more convincing victory given that the Canada left is split into three to four parties while right just has one.

If I order a pizza and the stoned teenager from the local joint runs over a pedestrian, am I ethically responsible? I didn't tell them to not hit people when getting my meat lovers to me and did say I wanted it ASAP.

It tries and fails to address it. I could barely count the number of zeros I would have to put in front of the 1 in the percentage of Facebook's photo data this meme covers. And a good portion of their dataset will have EXIF timestamps
