I had this same reaction! All of the process of getting to and from the airport, and through security, etc, isn't my favorite. But once we're actually flying, I find the ride itself kind of soothing.

For anyone who didn't click into the article, the headline may be misleading without the sub headline, which currently is "Relatively speaking, California is not a hot spot for housing investors". The map graphic shows that 19% is lower than other large states (e.g. 22% in Texas, 21% in Florida, 20% in New York). And lower than other west coast states generally (22% in Washington and Oregon, 25% in Nevada, and 23% in Arizona).

Crime maps often just turn into population density maps. I always want to see these per capita. Relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1138/

I think it's just an indication of how many people see themselves in the words, regardless of who wrote them, and hope to find some direction in the resulting discussion.

As I recall it was a pay-per-article model (around 25 cents per article looks like) and it had a number of publications to choose from. Though I haven't used it lately, I like the idea.

There were numerous legal ways to stream the Super Bowl online and on mobile this year for free, it appears these numbers may not include those? I would be curious to see what percentage of viewers used an app or site to view the game this year, and if it makes up for the relatively small drop in TV viewers.

This particular point has always been a bit funny to me.

I mean, sure, there are super racist areas in the south. I grew up and lived in mostly rural Alabama for the first 20+ years of my life, and there were some rural areas that were just as terrible as people imagine (cross burnings, open Klan meetings, etc, though that was starting to die down in the last 10 years or so I lived there).

That said, a lot of cities in the south are 30% - 50% black (sometimes more), and people who live in those cities, generally speaking, coexist and interact with many black and white people on a continual basis. It'd be kind of hard to do that and be super racists to the level people imagine the south to be.

This hasn't been my experience at all. I moved to Seattle from Alabama (almost 10 years ago now), and openly tell people I'm from Alabama, and I've yet to feel discriminated against because of it. In fact, some people are a bit envious of property prices there. I think mostly they are just glad I'm not from California ;).

It is a text message service that purports to handle just about any request you make (food delivery, whatever), they just tack on a fee to the price. They had to limit to a wait list, as the demand exploded.

One thing that I learned (accidentally) that helps when watching a fast paced Vine video like this, you can click the video to pause it, and again to resume playback (useful for trying to read the buttons that are being clicked, for example). Maybe everyone else already figured that out, ha, but I think GIFs conditioned me to think things like this didn't have pause built in.
