That turned out to be a very good decision: Yglesias says Slow Boring is grossing around $1.4 million a year, with limited overhead. Substack gives writers like Yglesias — and now, Taylor Lorenz — a lot of freedom and the ability to make a lot of money. Now, she's off to work on her own via User Mag, a new Substack publication she's launching this week. The Substack was an immediate success, and within a few months, Yglesias had 9,800 subscribers, paying him around $80 a year. Yglesias says he now has nearly 18,000 subscribers, which means he is likely grossing at least $1.4 million a year.

☆ Opinion | I Am Going to Miss Pitchfork, but That’s Only Half the Problem
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-21 | by ( Ezra Klein | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +2 min

I’m gutted to see Condé Nast folding the online music magazine Pitchfork into GQ. I won’t try to improve on the eulogies written for the site already (Casey Newton and Eric Harvey have good ones). It’s one of the few corners of the internet I still love, no matter how often I find myself in disagreement. I’ve seen some thoughtful writing already on why Pitchfork couldn’t make it. In this case, they’re specific to Pitchfork’s editorial choices and market position.

Unique, high quality data, mainly scraped from the web, is vital to the performance of AI models. AdvertisementAdvertisementMore and more companies are trying to avoid having their data freely scraped and saved by web crawlers working for the benefit of AI models. Last month, OpenAI last revealed its own crawler, GPTBot, saying it would respect robots.txt, a decades-old method through which a website can tell a web crawler to ignore it. Many more companies are now also blocking CCBot, a web crawler used by Common Crawl.

☆ I'm an HR executive that was just laid off from Vox Media. I've been preparing for this since my first day on the job.

Last Friday, I was informed that I was being laid off from my position at Vox Media. Today is my last day as executive director of talent and development for Vox.com after one year at the company. "What's the difference between the life I'm experiencing now and the one I want to have? It's about what kind of life I'm trying to live. At the end of the day, there is no job that's 100% secure because companies exist to thrive and drive profits.

☆ 3 ways managers can help their team avoid burnout: 'Your people will really give you a runway'
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-18 | by ( Gili Malinsky | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

While many factors can contribute to this phenomenon, such as overwork or tension between co-workers, managers can play a part in helping to make their reports' work lives a little bit less stressful. Here's how work experts recommend managers help their reports avoid burnout. Your team needs to hear 'that you're a human being'"It starts with psychological safety," says Gavin. "Your team members need to feel like you are willing to prioritize them," says Gavin. Without that level of openness, you won't be able to help them solve whatever problems could lead to their burnout.

☆ There's more than one type of work burnout―how to identify which you have
▼ + stars: | 2022-09-29 | by ( Gili Malinsky | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Nearly half, 48% of employees and 53% of managers report that they're burned out at work, according to Microsoft's 2022 Work Trend Index. Here's how to identify which type of burnout you might be experiencing, and how to alleviate it. Disengagement vs. depletionOne type of burnout can occur when you're tired of doing your job, specifically. The other type of burnout is a chronic fatigue in life at large, or depletion of energy. To figure out which type of burnout you're experiencing and what in your job is causing it, Gavin recommends asking yourself four questions ― and do it on paper, she says, not in your head.

Sursa foto: vox.comRaport alarmant al ONU: „Am distrus planeta; Greul abia începe”O versiune preliminară a raportului privind schimbările climatice de la Grupul interguvernamental de experți în evoluția climei (IPCC) din cadrul Organizației Națiunilor Unite (ONU) lansează un avertisment sumbru. Omenirea se află pe punctul de distrugere planetară mulțumită numeroaselor pericole cauzate de schimbările climatice tot mai grave. Omenirea a distrus planeta, iar noi vom culege roadele foarte, foarte curând. „Viața pe Pământ își poate reveni. Raportul arată că există o posibilitate foarte reală ca timpul omenirii pe planeta Pământ să se apropie de sfârșit.

Recomandarea autorității confirmă și afirmațiile OMS: „beneficiile vaccinului AstraZeneca [Covid-19] sunt mai mari decât riscurile sale”. Africa de Sud a oprit distribuția vaccinului AstraZeneca/Oxford luna trecută, după ce oficialii din domeniul sănătății au constatat că inocularea oferea puțină protecție împotriva variantei sud-africane a vaccinului. Eficacitatea vaccinurilor pentru virusul Covid-19 a fost calculată la fel, însă testarea lor a fost efectuată pe eșantioane diferite. Perioada acestor calcule a fost și ea diferită. Deocamdată, vaccinul AstraZeneca / Oxford continuă să fie un instrument important pentru combaterea pandemiei.
