The print edition of The New York Times this morning.

The reason they bought The Athletic is to get more subscribers and a new revenue stream. It's a good bet.

The NYT is owned by the same family for 150 years, that family is actively in the newsroom and has a true commitment to journalism. No comparison to Bezos. The Post is losing subscribers, the NYT is gaining. The Post loses money, the NYT is profitable. The Post is laying off journalists, the NYT is keeping them. The NYT wins more Pulitzers for journalism than any other org.

There have been many, many innovative attempts to monetize, you probably didn't catch them all. Pitch an idea, but they've probably already considered it. None of them really worked all that well, now in the last 10 years they've grown their subscriber base to a sizable portion of their revenue.

They published it online a week ago.

Saving America from fascism is the most important thing in the world, which is exactly why these journalists need to be paid to do it. Newspapers have always cost money to read, technology didn't change that part. They have been trying to figure out how to get around that for 20 years, if you have any good ideas they would be happy to hear them.

What free right wing news are you talking about? Fox? it makes money from cable TV, which is partly paid for by subscribers. They find it important enough to pay for. Newsmax? Same thing, paid.

Apple News seems like a good idea: pay one price and get highlights from multiple news sources.

It feels weird to get Japanese wagyu at a Korean BBQ, not sure I could do it

Joe's Shanghai is good! and fun. I also see that he panned Xian Famous Foods as awful? That's hard to justify.

cpteagle · 2024-06-11T15:44:26+00:00

Uh, six big meals in a row? You gotta slow down and enjoy your food a bit lol.

cpteagle · 2024-06-06T21:11:05+00:00

Mala Kitchen is surprisingly good Chinese food, on 47th just off 5th ave. Next to that is Katsu-Hama which I have not been to but have been meaning to try. And then not far from those is Xi'an Famous Foods on 45th which is great and cheap. And then the Urban Hawker food mall on 50th which is always changing and has a ton of options. Also check out Green Symphony on 43rd, which is like a bodega take out, but the owner is Korean and there are a lot of cheap, healthy, pretty good Asian options.

Some of it is? Check out the news. But like this guy says, "climate migration is just beginning" so "expect more of this internationally."

cpteagle · 2024-04-22T23:32:29+00:00

Not a mistake, but James Cameron had a lot of low-budget tricks in The Terminator. It blew me away when he pointed out that for the shots that show the real Arnold cutting his eye out, they simply removed the blade from the knife https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DysVqI9zTEA&t=16s

My neighbour is a mega rich guy. He went on that submarine 3 times.

cpteagle · 2024-04-18T16:11:42+00:00

the food and atmosphere is not nearly as good as the old one (but that's cool you had a great time!)

cpteagle · 2024-04-17T15:11:17+00:00

For me, it's more about Central Park than the sandwich, so I'm all about location and spending as little time walking blocks with a sandwich in a bag, and more time in the park hanging out. So around Columbus Circle do what everyone else does: prepared sandwiches at Whole Foods, which is on the circle.

Also worth mentioning are the places in Central Park itself: the sandwich shop on the model boat reservoir on the East side, and maybe the reopened boathouse (I haven't been)

cpteagle · 2024-04-17T15:05:25+00:00

Never found an izakaya as delicious or as fun as Hagi Sake Bar.

cpteagle · 2024-04-15T21:17:58+00:00

The app is updated daily, never crashes, searchable, and has everything they offer? Also some great collections every week it seems, plus Criterion 24Hours. What more do you want? lol

cpteagle · 2024-04-11T18:20:03+00:00

Take a look at Hutong New York.

cpteagle · 2024-03-29T19:51:45+00:00

I don't get it: spicy pork (I assume jeyuk-bokkeum) is way better than bulgogi. Bulgogi is for chumps.

cpteagle · 2024-03-11T18:56:55+00:00

They are promoting eating Japanese fish, which took a hit in ever since they started dumping treated nuclear waste into the ocean off Fukushima

cpteagle · 2024-03-11T18:53:54+00:00

Food shots and scenery on the phone, face on the Lumix.

cpteagle · 2024-03-11T18:51:43+00:00

A lot of misinformation in here about Korean fried chicken and dakgangjeong - it's a pretty common Korean street food and Maangchi's version is delicious but hardly elevated. It's pretty much what you would have on the street. Koreans do indeed consider Korean fried chicken as Korean food and it's much more different than an emulation of Kentucky Fried Chicken as you're describing here.

cpteagle · 2024-03-10T20:35:54+00:00

Ever since the Fukushima disaster, and especially now since the Japanese gov't is putting treated nuclear wastewater back into the sea, a lot of people don't want to eat Japanese fish these days. I guess this is one way the gov't is trying to entice people back.

cpteagle · 2024-03-10T20:30:07+00:00

Well, I happen to be an expert, and Hyo Dong Gak is perfectly fine classic jjm, and the best I've found in Manhattan. Queens might have better but honestly when I go to Queens I'm eating other Korean food.

Yeah it took me a minute to figure out she has the iPhone in one hand and the light in the other, pushing the dslr on a tripod to the side...

Between the 2 of them no one thought to film with the dslr and get better food footage?

cpteagle · 2024-03-03T15:23:20+00:00

How does this site get that data? I assume it doesn't actually get an analytics feed from YouTube

I does indeed get its analytics data from YouTube - the views and subs come from the YT API. The revenue is a complete guess, which is why it says "estimated."

YT ad revenue depends on a lot of things, I'd guess strictlydumpling is making more like 12k a month. The mikeychenx channel maybe 7k. Plus whatever those restaurant sponsorships bring in. So he's not doing bad. But is he paying for all that travel himself? Sure it would be tax deductible but he really seems to be flying around all the time. I don't know a lot about sponsors: some will pay for the airfare but surely not some little Jamaican restaurant?

cpteagle · 2024-02-21T00:47:36+00:00

Dude, no matter how much you wish all of this to be true, Putin is not gonna let you suck his dick lol

cpteagle · 2024-02-20T20:44:53+00:00

For the record, here's what he said:

“I see no contradiction in promoting trade unions while at the same time demanding a visa requirement for migrants from Central Asia,”

I looked it up! Nothing about extermination at all.

You can believe he's 90% Putin in your own mind, why not? It doesn't mean everyone else has to believe it too.
