The idea is that press releases that look like articles make lazy journalists less critical. Because the phrasing is already very similar to the end result the journalist has to produce, the path of least resistance is to simply copy as much as possible. Lots of big comapanies do this nowadays.

qz_··on Driving an Ambulance in the Age of Narcan
It won’t kill you though.

All the ways heroin can kill you are direct consequences of its prohibition.

qz_··on Driving an Ambulance in the Age of Narcan
Not sure why you're being downvoted, you're completely correct. The only significant negative effect heroin use has on you besides addiction is constipation. For a heroin addict, the problem isn't the heroin, it's the absence of heroin.

User karma is public, did you mean comment score?
qz_··on Bottle: A Bitcoin SV Browser
I didn't know that, thanks. πerhaps putting it one the site would be useful.
qz_··on Bottle: A Bitcoin SV Browser
Certainly an interesting idea, but I think you're raising the barrier to entry by not simply implementing this as a browser extension. By having to develop a completely separate browser you're wasting a lot of time and resources that could otherwise be used to achieve the goals of the project.

I also seriously doubt the willingness of most people to install yet another battery-guzzling Electron app.

qz_··on Facebook Use Has Been Dropping Since the 2016 Election, According to SimilarWeb
I might be able to give some perspective on this. I'm 16 years old, and I know about 4 people who are active om FB. People who are a few years older generally do have FB, though, and use it quite intensively. Most of the contact people have with FB are WhatsApp and Instagram, which are both ubiquitous. (For context, I'm Dutch.)

GitHub, because everyone uses it and because the developers haven't ever accidentally deleted the production database.
qz_··on Are you ready? This is all the data Facebook and Google have on you
The fact that Google stores deleted documents from my drive makes me kind of uneasy... why would they ever need this? Speaking of which, does anyone know if the contents of your drive is used for your ad profile?
