news still unfolding but here is one thing i'll say:
538's data collection was game-changing, and i hope it gets a rebirth. would need a modest budget for 2-3 researchers and 1-2 engineers. AI has also made things easier (at least I suspect -- we were forbidden from using it).

The real issue with this is that Split Ticket is still just a site we run in our spare time. A site with FiveThirtyEight’s immense trove of data and content takes a lot of effort, money and time, especially when you consider the graphics they have.

On my first day as the @FT's new AI reporter, the stock market crashed and Silicon Valley freaked out about DeepSeek's AI model. 😅 But what exactly was DeepSeek's breakthrough? I read their research paper. Here's why it's a big deal: enterprise-sharing.ft.com/re…

“Everything we make starts with seaweed. If they go to landfill, they will break down. If they end up in the ocean, they will break down. If a turtle eats them, they’ll be fine.”

In Busan, South Korea, 180 countries are debating the future of a ubiquitous material: plastic.
The world produces around 500m tonnes a year. A third of it is used for packaging. I talked to startups trying to make sustainable versions for @TheEconomist:

When I first began investigating in January 2021, I never imagined that what I would find would lead to powerful men being charged with running an international sex trafficking business. All I can think about are my sources - the brave men - who trusted me and have now been heard
