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.…

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

Feels like this is an entirely unrelated topic, but they aren't extremely different: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/slur 1a : an insulting or disparaging remark or innu…

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 …

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…

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 va…

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 sho…

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 rep…

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 …

They've shown whether an app has ads for over five years: https://www.androidpolice.com/2016/04/28/the-play-store-star...

People will hack their ovens to run cleaning cycles without locking for pizza making purpose.

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 lo…

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

You can't win the game, work the ref.

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 a…

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 siste…

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. Obvio…

Sounds like a pretty big loss for Rebecca Lawson, person of CA.

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 …

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 in…

Raises hand. "Hey, I think we shouldn't cancel this project." "Not your decision." End scene.

There actually really isn't a "large percentage" difference in generations on global warming: https://twitter.com/aedwardslevy/status/1191047875511357440

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 quit…
