The popularity of Substack shows that people don't care about those "valuable brands" though, they care about good content. NYT and friends eroded what integrity their brands had in the past decade by chasing the clickbait dragon.
They did this to themselves, let them die the death they deserve.
They go into this in the article. Substack is actively trying to poach people for their platform. NYT, already being bereft of journalistic integrity, doesn't like this because it ruins their image even more.
Contrary to popular belief, the purpose of police in America isn't to "protect and serve". Even the Supreme Court has said they're under no obligation to protect the public.
A physical keyboard is better than that. Touch keyboards are garbage. It's why the Apple Touch Bar is garbage. Physical keys don't activate if your finger slightly grazes them.
There absolutely are limits, especially on the social side. You don't form as close of relationships with co-workers. You don't get those in-hallway "hey, can I show you this real quick?" moments. At my previous place, a couple employees eventually left to form their own successful company; they bonded because they always went out for smoke breaks together. Unless the company is fully remote, it's harder to get noticed in the company. May be harder to move up the ladder.
Lars has admitted multiple times he was wrong to lash out when they did. Go look up interviews yourself. Metallica have fully embraced digital platforms.
Sure, but who the hell's going to read that, honestly? All the metaprogramming crap was my biggest hurdle when learning Ruby/Rails at the same time, and also figuring out what was Ruby and what was Rails. Rails actually does a great job of naturally extending Ruby so much that most of the helper modules in activesupport feel native.
Also, Rails has top-tier documentation, including listing out all the dynamic methods for each database field.
Uh, why do you think after signing up for one credit card, you magically start getting offers for other cards? CC companies have been selling transaction data for decades before FAANG made it trendy to do so.
The mainstream corporate media machine doesn't cover it because they're complicit in it. You have shit like what happened to Cory Feldman on the View: that hag Barbara Walters saying "you're trying to ruin an entire industry!" when he tries to expose the horrors he and others went through.
Why would I need to? Is this some burning problem that I didn't realize needed a solution?
