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.
Is there a service in the same vein as music streaming, but for news outlets? I'd be happy to pay for a subscription somewhere at a reasonable price, but not happy to pay for and manage 150+ individual subscriptions (like what this tool provides). Granted I wouldn't ever actually sign up for most of them, but managing even more than a couple would be rather undesirable. Perhaps something with pay-per-view built in, given how infrequently I come across articles from certain publishers?
I've tried Blendle in the past: https://blendle.com/
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.
Move to Seattle from Atlanta and quickly got sick of people up here talking about how racist it must be in Atlanta.
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.
Seattle is wildly bigoted against Southerners. Wildly. It's a real problem.
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 ;).

Sorry for being so outdated, but what is this "Magic"?
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.
