Later in this very same piece they say “we aim to host a broad array of voices because we believe a diversity of thought is essential to healthy discourse.” That's an editorial point of view!

Substack co-founder on how Substack Pro works: year one, writers get upfront pay, Substack keeps 85% of revenue; later, writers keep 90% revenue, no minimum pay

The thinking behind Substack Pro  —  When we started Substack in mid-2017, the future for writers was frightening.

“We see these deals as business decisions, not editorial ones.” If you specifically seek out certain writers and not other writers, and you pay the writers you pick to publish things, then you're making editorial decisions. It's not rocket science. https://blog.substack.com/...

Also treating journalism purely as a money making business is literally how we got into so much of this mess in the first place. 🙃🙃🙃

VAMS, a CDC website built by Deloitte at a cost of $44M to manage rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine, has been abandoned by states due to bugs and problems

The CDC ordered software that was meant to manage the vaccine rollout.  Instead, it has been plagued by problems and abandoned by most states.

Inside eBay's alleged plot that targeted a blogging duo and a Twitter gadfly using cockroaches, porn, death threats, physical surveillance, and pizza deliveries

“People are basically good” was eBay's founding principle.  But in the deranged summer of 2019, prosecutors say …

Frankly I would not be surprised if more companies weren't doing stuff like this, slightly less amateurishly. Yes this is bizarro but also describes the way tech companies see themselves as infallible and work to crush any critique. https://www.nytimes.com/...

Bless @thekibosch for letting me dive deep into a pet peeve of mine: when journalists uncritically report on patents from tech companies as if those patents describe real products. Many patents are basically science fiction! https://slate.com/...

I couldn't get anybody to admit to doing this on the record so it didn't make the story, but sometimes companies file patents for weird shit because employees make up weird shit for fun. Either for a $ bonus, or just to take the patent people for a ride. https://slate.com/...

I suspected as much (and @charles_duan suggested it to me) but I couldn't get anybody to ADMIT it. But! I just got an email from someone saying they def have done this. So it's real! If you've ever made up some weird shit to patent at your company, let me know?

Psychological research suggests the effectiveness of VR as an empathy machine is debatable and in some cases may even cause harm

Rose Eveleth / Topic :

I've read a lot of pieces for and against VR as the “ultimate empathy machine,” but almost none of them cited the actual research that could inform those takes. So I read that research, and wrote about it: https://www.topic.com/...
