The main problem, IMHO, is that they are trying to make this massive, expensive transition under an artificial constraint: That the Sulzbergers retain control of the organization:

1) They lack capital (AFAICT) and have to desperately worry about getting the subscription model to work and soon. The Washington Post was sold to Jeff Bezos; from what I've read, Bezos encourages them to experiment, and pointed out that he could lose $100 million on the Post per year for 100 years (or something like that), and he'd still be one of the wealthiest people in the world.

The NY Times is not just a family business, it's an institution that is extremely important to the public welfare. To hold onto it and risk its future when it would be safe in others' hands is very selfish. Of course they shouldn't sell it to just anyone, but there are plenty out there who would be responsible owners.

2) Last names and genetic inheritance are a very poor way to select business leaders, especially at a time that requires an extraordinary one. What an incredible opportunity for a brilliant person - if only they would stand back, sit on the board, and let a professional run the show.

EDIT: From the article: "Family control is one of the competitive advantages of The New York Times—there is no plan B for Sulzberger or his family."
Well, yes, of course, wikipedia is the authority on reliable sources.
I'd guess no one can fault you for assuming it's a home invasion in case the LE fail to identify themselves.

The downside is that you'll probably end up dead, since the police (in the US especially) have a record of killing even people who don't shoot at them.

What you are saying is the only way I can imagine to interpret what I wrote, if one assumes I was intending to make any sense.

By the way, in Python, bool is a subtype of int (i.e., instanceof(True,int) == True), and True + True == 2. C is the same, and in Javascript booleans are converted to integers for arithmetic operations.

While you may be eating the _same_ things, did you eat the same _amount_ of the things?

It seems to be increasingly common to make the name of the legislation propaganda in itself. Naming the ACA 'affordable' would be an immediate example - a less contentious example would be "USA PATRIOT" (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act), as attacking PATRIOT immediately sounds politically worse than attacking state surveillance.

Countering 'Affordable' with 'Obamacare' was a very successful propaganda win. Affordable sounds good, Obama sounds bad (to the intended audiences). That you can realistically ask people to take sides between the two (whether they prefer Obamacare or ACA) illustrates this perfectly (if Kimmel is a source, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6m7pWEMPlA)

I believe the Holy Three are Python, Go, and Java. Personally the fact that Go is on there totally invalidates the list for me. It upset a lot of other people, too, because it's not very widely used in the org and is just a pet favorite of one of the higher ups. Was a serious source of friction.

Thanks guys, this reply thread has some really good feedback. The tagline actually used to be 'a condom for your sex tapes' (hence the big camera illustration,) but it got swapped out over time as it seemed a bit of a 'strong' word.

> Why would I ever want to watch video not fullscreen?

Because the way they are doing it there is no minimize button. A less technically inclined person may not know that they have to press Escape (and now, it seems, some laptops have no hardware Esc button at all). In addition, the first time I played it, for some reason, Esc did not work and I had to Alt-Tab in order to leave the video.

https://courthousenews.com/stockton-mayor-charged-in-youth-c...

STOCKTON, Calif. (CN) — Stockton, Calif. Mayor Anthony Silva was arrested at his summer camp for underprivileged youth Thursday and faces multiple charges over his suspected involvement in an underage strip poker game. Silva was arrested at his camp by agents from the FBI, Stockton Police Department and the San Joaquin County District Attorney’s office. The incumbent mayor’s bail was set at $20,000. The FBI also recovered evidence of Silva secretly taping a conversation with a Stockton city employee, while another witness told investigators that Silva has cameras in his bedroom and at the Stockton Kid’s Club, Riebe said. The charges come amid recent revelations from the San Joaquin County District Attorney’s Office that a gun owned by Silva was used in the 2015 killing of a 13-year old. Investigators say a semi-automatic pistol that was stolen from Silva was used in two separate Stockton shootings. Silva says he informed authorities his gun was missing in March 2015, a month after the gun was used in the fatal shooting of Rayshawn Harris. Officers recovered the weapon during a domestic disturbance unrelated to the mayor.

Silva is no longer mayor(lost re-election for some reason), trial proceedings are still going on.
Is there evidence in any direction? This really sounds like the most plausible hypothesis, to me at least.

Pro: Concise and to the point, no waffle or any of that new age "growth hacking, rockstar" nonsense - don't try and dress a job up as something it's not. Tell me roughly what salary range you're offering in, and tell me what I'll be working with. I want to know about your product/s, and how the job I'm looking at relates to it.

Cons: Babbling on and on about your 'culture' or how much coffee you all consume. Being vague, and not actually describing the job. Not listing other requirements like excessive travel, on call, the fact that your office is 200km away from civilisation etc.

Not relevant to me now, but in general - don't call something a 'Junior' position and then ask for 5+ years of experience, and then don't follow that up by saying "Oh but it's the most Junior role in our company". That's bullshit, and you know it, you're just looking for an excuse to pay someone less.
While I agree with concerns over privacy I still think that overall, our current obsession with it will actually have detrimental long term results because of the resulting cynicism that it is creating. Because surveillance has continued or increased overtime regardless of which party controls the government, it creates a false equivalency that has convinced a lot of people that "its all the same" and that only some kind of dramatic (and likely violent and disruptive) revolution will solve the problem, while most of us have done little or nothing to actually change things short of complaining about them.

How many people on these forums have contacted their representatives on this issue? How many have considered running for office themselves? My guess is we've all spent more time griping to each other and on online forums that are not monitored by government (for opinions at least, they unfortunately might be monitored for other reasons) than we have on any kind of productive effort.

Privacy is a big concern, but is it as big as nuclear proliferation? Is it as big of an issue as climate change (no, I would say). Many of us who live in the US currently can afford to be worried about our privacy, we're mostly comfortable, safe, and well fed and can be concerned with our privacy despite the fact that it doesn't impact almost any of us. On top of that, the cynicism created by surveillance has convinced many people to waive their right to vote because they assume, correctly in many cases, that surveillance will continue in some form under any candidate, despite the fact that many other important (in some cases more important) issues will be treated very differently.

I am not debating that it is an issue but the truth is, I am more concerned for the many people in the richest nation on earth that don't even have enough access to computers and the internet to even be worried about surveillance and its hard to be surprised that this issue doesn't resonate with many people. We need a public discussion on this issue and we need to debate what privacy we're willing to give up for our safety as law enforcement has less and less ability to monitor criminals.

The sad thing is that if governments had been up front with their citizens and acknowledged the challenges in combating crime in an era where wiretaps and other previously available tools were becoming obsolete people might have been willing to accept intrusions into their privacy with acceptable civilian oversight; instead it was done without our knowledge and consent and now I'm afraid we'll collectively chop off our own nose to spite our face.
Give it a decade or two and we will be hearing criticism that only humans can participate.

I'm just going to ignore your NYT frothing, for which you are reasonably being downvoted. If you really can't put your personal opinions aside for three entire minutes, there are plenty of other companies that are clearly shaped by a sense of purpose.

Toyota, for example, is explicit about it. If you talk with employees at Apple, Intel, or Google, you can easily see that they're not just doing whatever random thing that is profitable; all three companies have a deep sense of purpose. They know their chosen audiences and are dedicated to creating value.

> Companies exist to derive profit for their investors, primarily by increasing the value of their common stock and by dividends.

There are several ways you could mean this, but I think all of them are wrong.

Companies exist societally because we have decided that we want to encourage certain sorts of positive-sum economic activity. If they didn't, we wouldn't allow them. What you write off as an externality is, systemically, the entire point.

Individual companies exist because one or more people have lined up around an idea and pursued it with great dedication. I have not met a single entrepreneur whose chosen purpose is "produce a good return for the LPs of some investment fund".

Those companies attract employees partly because they can make a living. But also because the company's audience and work are something they can get behind. Nobody lasts long doing a job where they hate the company's mission.

From the customer's perspective, the question of purpose is even clearer. It's to give them things they want in exchange for reasonable amounts of money.

In theory you might be right about the investor's sense of purpose: maybe they see companies as pure profit-making machines. But even there, the investors I've met don't act that way. They get really excited about who a company's audience is and how they are choosing to serve them.

And I'm hardly alone in disagreeing with the "maximize shareholder value" school of thought. If you care to search for "world's dumbest idea" you'll find plenty of discussion slamming it. Including from business luminaries like Jack Welch and Mark Benioff: http://www.forbes.com/sites/stevedenning/2015/02/05/salesfor...

Entertainingly, even the Whole Foods CEO disagrees with your theory. He wrote: "But we have not achieved our tremendous increase in shareholder value by making shareholder value the primary purpose of our business. [...] the most successful businesses put the customer first, ahead of the investors. In the profit-centered business, customer happiness is merely a means to an end: maximizing profits. In the customer-centered business, customer happiness is an end in itself, and will be pursued with greater interest, passion, and empathy than the profit-centered business is capable of."
That ATM idea sounds pretty cool honestly.

Applying it to phones seems a bit unrealistic, given that so few people will actually use those features.
So, if it was NASAs phone, why not call their legal department before turning over the phone? I carry a work phone and would definitely seek legal counsel before turning it over to anyone.
This 'there is no difference between the parties' thing is getting really old, the differences are clear. Yes a surveillance state had also flourished under the Democratic administrations and that's a Bad Thing, I'm with you on the general need to roll that back.

But don't come here telling me administrations are basically the same. And much of the surveillance state exists because of the politicians that pander to the more xenophobic demographics. Look how much of the previous 8 years they spent portraying Obama as a crypto-Muslim, bent on the the Islamicization of the United States yadda yadda. Every time he tried to dismantle or scale back any aspect of the national security state (Guantanamo being an obvious example) conservatives howled about him enabling terrorism and putting the American people in danger. To ignore those factors is to deceive yourself about the political dynamics that shape your environment.

> Donald Trump is undoubtedly homophobic

Not true. certainly not "undoubtedly".

> for the country to be voting for him, to an extent a proportion of them must agree.

Even less true. Even if Trump were homophobic - which is most likely not true - that does not mean somebody who voted for him supports him in that. Elections concern a wide array of issues, and people choosing between the two (or four, but let's not pretend anybody but the two had any chance) candidates necessarily compromise and vote for the person who may hold different views in many areas.

It is true that some homophobic people voted for him - as, it is certainly true, some also voted against him - but we know exactly nothing about how many and in what proportion. It is not the base for saying US is a homophobic country because of that, and it is most certainly not true.

> In almost no sense does anyone give up their "sovereignty" by joining the EU

Not true, please read about laws and policy harmonization in EU. Also, US does have wide areas in which state and not federal laws are used. One can argue US states have less sovereignty than EU member states, that's probably true, but the large amount of similarity is still there.

> The EU only allows free travel and trade between each of the countries within it and also a standard currency and standard regulations

This is impossible without EU members surrendering part of their sovereignty - unless you want to pretend that so many countries having same laws (or, as you call it, "regulations"), same migration rules, same currency policy, same trade rules, etc. all happened because by chance they all independently passed exactly the same laws.
Are you sure? There's a strong neurocognitive argument to be made that reinforcing the tendency, by repeatedly acting on it with pornography to the end of, among other things, rather strongly triggering the dopamine reward system, will tend to strengthen the interest by reinforcing the circuits which interact with it, and vice versa.

I don't think anyone would argue this "cures" the tendency - certainly I will not! But, at the very least, I can't see how it could do other than make a pedophile less likely to graduate to child molesting, to have built a strong habit of not acting on the urge - and, again, vice versa.

There are also other forms of harm than the physical. I am not myself moved to dismay by the possibility of images of my own abuse circulating on the Internet, although that may have more than anything to do with the fact that, to the best of my knowledge, no such images were made, and in any case said abuse occurred long before the dawn of the era in which such distribution became trivially simple. But I hardly imagine it is my place to tell someone who does find such a possibility - or a certainty - dismaying, that she is wrong to feel that way, or that she should not consider herself to be harmed thereby. Nor do I believe it is anyone else's place to do so.
I'd be hesitant to judge those AMD processors on the specified clock, even more than usual.

The usual argument is that clocks are not comparable, because you don't know that a 4GHz cpu A is not slower than a 1GHz cpu B in doing a specific task. That I assume is known around here, but is not what I mean. AMD is marketing the feature of those processors to overclock automatically above the specified turbo clock. Meaning 3.9GHz should be a lower bound, and it is completely possible those cpus will routinely clock much higher in practice. See http://www.kitguru.net/components/cpu/jon-martindale/amds-ex... (and it is also as XFR in the original article here).

Or maybe they won't overclock well at all. Well, we'll see after they were released.

Edit: I just realized that with regards to the specific comparison I answered to my point is moot, because according to the table in the article, the Ryzen 7 1700 does not have that feature. The Ryzen 7 1700X does. That might make picking the right processors more difficult than usual. I'll let the comment stand regardless, that feature and distinction might not be well known yet.
It struck me as odd, or at least made me stop, think and now write about it. Why the doctors recommended maintaining a "Moleskine" journal. Why "Moleskine"? Why can't it be a plain journal!!
> Some homeowners will default and the banks will suffer too.

And then we relive the housing crisis.

> The reason banks did this is they wanted to pretend bad homes and bad loans were still valuable, in order to use them to satisfy capital reserve requirements. There's a very simple solution to this problem.

And what is that?

> The only way to reduce rents is to produce more housing.

Of course it is. That is the only way to reduce real housing prices in general. But if you propose to tank the nominal prices of existing houses, more people will oppose you than you can defeat. Meanwhile you can produce more housing without existing homeowners fighting you that hard if it means their nominal home prices don't go down.

> My mistake, I thought you were discussing whether this is something we should do. I didn't realize you were merely discussing what is politically possible.

What we should do is constrained by what is possible.

Sometimes you have to swim upstream and convince people to do the hard thing because it really is necessary, but convincing millions of homeowners that they should vote for a policy that will cause them to go underwater on their mortgages is just never going to happen. So we need some way to reduce real housing costs without causing that to happen. Inflation is one way; I'm open to alternatives.

> I don't believe that fixing the US is politically possible.

It isn't a question of whether it will be fixed, it's a question of how bad things have to get first before people develop the will to fix it.
This looks like Yet Another News Aggregator. Google and Yahoo have had them for years (decades?) among many others.

A true game changer would have to be one that people paid money for, and served ultimately to pay for real journalism. That has also been tried many times, with no success that I'm aware of.

I don't mind paying for news, but most newspapers charge in the range of $20-$40 a month for digital subscriptions which just seems outrageous to me. I can listen to a bottomless well of music for $10/mo on Spotify, watch a huge catalog of shows and movies on Netflix for roughly $10/mo, or subscribe to a handful of newspapers for $200/mo. Is journalism so, so much more expensive to produce than entertainment?
