They often require log in to see the whole article. Later they cap your access to articles to N per some period of time. The only way around that is to purchase a subscription. Given the weak offering of Medium, it’s seldom worth the $/month cost of a subscription for the few jewels that might appear.
They give the journos access as long as they don't bite the hand that feeds. Anyone calling this a conspiracy theory simply hasn't been in the valley long enough to see how these things work.
Well, it's been exposed multiple times that money, egos and the media that needs to report about them create a school lunch table where they simply stroke each other's ego and inflate everything they do.
No need for a conspiracy, everyones seen this in some aspect, it just gets worse when these people are throwing money around in the billions.
all you need to do is witness someone Like Elon musk to see how disruptive this type of thing is.
I don't understand the point of your comment. How is it annoying that different interest groups are separated from each other? Reddit is split into different subredits, IRC is split into different servers and channels, forums do the same thing, I could go on. Would you rather everything be jumbled together in one place?
Nitro banners, blobs, public servers with bowling balls etc.
If you're just in a discussion it's fine but click the wrong place and it's like a teenage dream exploded.
I don't think it was intentional, but given the recent Roe v Wade controversy I find it amusing that your wrote "High degree of choices to an individual to shape _his_ life". Gave me a chuckle.
I didn't factor in Roe vs. Wade.
It was not intentional or any veiled sarcasm.
What I meant is that unlike a lot of countries where you are bottlenecked by choices of educational specialization, profession, career & personal development, as a US resident one doesn't face any of these. There is ample scope to pursue your interests or take risks to change your career path, things which are unthinkable in the aforementioned situation.
Roe vs. Wade being overturned means that the policy on abortion reverts back to the states, the way your constitution states things which are not regulated by it are to be decided. Some states will continue to offer late-term abortions, some will move to a model more comparable to that in much of Europe with 1st term elective abortions being legal, others will move to ban elective abortions altogether.
The emphasis on his is not as telling as you make it out to be given that fathers also play a role in the conception (by definition) and raising (hopefully) of children. Some men will see what they considered to be their "right" to skip the consequence of them having intercourse without contraception taken away. Those who consider elective late-term abortion to be an essential part of life may move to those states which continue to provide this - New York and California seem to be poised to become abortion 'free states' - while those who consider abortion to be an abomination/against their religion/... may move to those states where it is limited. As far as I know - and correct me if I'm wrong - there are no states where abortion in case of rape or incest or in those cases where the life of the mother is directly threatened is forbidden.
Forgive my ignorance, I don't know a lot (anything) about licensing, but I see a lot of comments asking about licensing in particular. If this isn't legal, then what about icon packs for, for example, VSCode or Android Launchers and similar?
Maybe it's just me and my English comprehension, but way too often I am left thinking comments on HN have become a sport of dramatization and usage of thesaurus
