    I kind of want to quote Matt Levine's latest at you but it's almost all quotable so, in lieu of quoting it, can I again recommend it: 1) It is the best column covering tech or finance 2) I read it daily 3) If you follow me, it is almost certainly relevant to your interests.

        Because media, it is surprisingly difficult for me to give you a URL which maps to that call to action but I think it is this one: http://link.mail.bloombergbusiness.com/join/4wm/moneystuff-signup?source=msweb … You get the column delivered as a free newsletter; otherwise there is some paywall thing that I am too tired to figure out.

        (I would happily pay whatever I do for my WSJ subscription to either a) whomever carries his column or b) his column, just by itself, if I trusted any media company to be able to consummate that transaction reliably.)

        So many things: 1) Great taste in topic selection; eclectic with the right mix of new territory and consistent themes 2) Avoids the temptation to say hard, nuanced problems are easy; one of best places to get “A thing people think is black and white is gray, fractally so.”
