Seconded. Very easy to read!

I’m also impressed by the speed of the site. Well done!

One thing book stores have is gifts for people. “Someone who wants a book about dream interpretation may enjoy a rare minerals Rubin’s cube” may be a good way to increase your average referral fee.

And don’t forget cards and stationary!

You’ve got the layout down. Now I want to see more of the other items I see when browsing a bookstore!

There’s, ironically, a typo in the title. Should be `reviewers`.

There are Wall Street traders, not just guys.

Yeah I came here to say the same thing.

I’m 6’8” and if I were within the suggested range, I would be 227 pounds. I’ve been that weight and when I look at pictures of myself at that weight, I always think I look dangerously thin.

BMI is a far too simple a measure to be helpful.

Agreed. Why on earth would investors agree to not getting their money back?

Did they get anything? It doesn’t sound like it.

What are we missing here?

My wife wrote a paper about this phenomenon. This happens in specific policy contexts as well as generally.

In political science, the phenomenon is called the “devil shift”, coined by Sabatier. Similarly, there is also the “angel shift”: you see people who agree with you as having more virtuous motivations.

My wife, Dr. Juniper Katz, wrote about these shifts in the fracking context: https://www.academia.edu/37275520/The_Space_Between_Demoniza...

Anecdotally, this happened in Denver when marijuana was legalized. Since the pot shops couldn’t store money with banks, many bought homes with cash. This led to a huge increase in cash buyers and a major spike in prices.

Do be aware: sassafras has mild carcinogenic properties.

The video reports they have delivered 12. Not exactly producing at scale!

This sounds like a terrible experience for the recruiter.

I suggest re-examining the response you had based on understandings of gender issues in tech.

This reminds me of old Popular Science magazines promising a future of unrealized technology.

I do not think this is the future. But it’s something I’d like to see in a sci-fi movie.

I find it frustrating that the subheading says “less expensive.” No, it’s FREE. Absolutely free. Donations optional.

To me, it sounded like the editor of the piece didn’t want it to sound promotional, which made it less true.

We have used Mailgun to power our SaaS emails for years with great deliverability and without paying a cent. It makes sense for them to charge for their service. It was too good to last forever!

There’s a way you could say the same thing without being weird. “Swapping” would have sufficed!

The title should be updated to reflect the 2015 article date.

I had no idea Rod Stewart covered the Tom Waits song "Downtown Train".

I do not thank this article for informing me of this fact. It is a horrible cover. The world needs more Tom Waits and less Rod Stewart.

I’m frustrated by the 720p camera. That is not good enough quantity.

This article is from 2015. The title should reflect that.

https://www.arqbackup.com/ Works with a bunch of providers and is really solid.

This article has the Renaissance in its title, but then continues to discuss the Elizabethan period. Shakespeare != Renaissance.

Title should be updated to say what is happening: Apple launches Independent Repair Provider program

Than we.

This article is from 2105. The title should be updated to reflect that.

This title is clickbaity. The article asks whether replacing meetings with async digital messaging was an improvement.

[edit:] I suggest modifying the headline. Perhaps to something like: “Was Email an Improvement Over In-Person Meetings?”

Really beautiful pieces. Unfortunately, the article doesn’t give any details as to their creation. Just check out the pictures.

Enlightened arrogance is one thing. Being aware of—and addressing—bias in articles is another.

“They” doesn’t cost anyone anything. It’s not a new word. It’s gender-neutral. It’s an easy win, and a change worth making.

So use those stats in the story and back up why the author assumes it’s a man.

Assumptions blind you to reality, however.

Even worse: This article perpetuates the gender disparity in tech you reference.

It does change the story. “He” excludes 50% of potential perpetrators. Using “they” does not.

This article appears to be written in order to rank in search engines for the phrase "Web Design 3.0" and to have people use a phrase they already rank well for.
