Grateful for this @LAReviewofBooks review of REIGN. It’s the latest of many overwhelmingly positive reviews. Does it seem like you’re the only one who hasn’t bought, read & loved REIGN OF TERROR? You don’t have to feel that way. It’s in bookstores now. https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/make-no-mistake-the-us-war-on-terror-is-far-from-finished/

Ok Rust folks: I mostly get (and like) the string situation in Rust. It's something I've learned to appreciate.

But one thing still gets me:

What is the difference between &str and &String? I feel as though sometimes they're interchangeable, and sometimes they're... not? What?

My former employer CollegeHumor did this. In order to beat YouTube, Facebook faked incredible viewership numbers, so CH pivoted to FB. So did Funny or Die, many others. The result: A once-thriving online comedy industry was decimated. A $40m fine is laughable; shut Facebook down.

@profgalloway ("Scott Galloway") wrote:

The viewership metrics were inflated by 150 to 900%. Whole companies shifted their strategy to video. Companies going bankrupt, people losing jobs, FB gets away with 0.18% of annual income ($40M / $22B), a slap on the wrist.

The American people are making themselves pretty clear. Congress needs to stand up to the greed of the pharmaceutical industry. Now is the time.
