The last name "Goodenough" is of English origin. It is an occupational surname derived from the Middle English term "godenough," which means "good enough" or "satisfactory." The name likely originated as a nickname or a description for someone who was deemed competent, capable, or satisfactory in their profession or tasks.
In some cases, the surname may have also been a locational name, referring to someone who resided in a place called Goodenough or a similar variant. However, this is less common compared to the occupational origin.
Like many surnames, the spelling and pronunciation of "Goodenough" may have varied over time and across different regions. Variations of the name can be found, such as Goodenow or Goodenowes.
It's worth noting that surnames have complex and diverse origins, and multiple factors can contribute to the development of a particular surname. Different branches of a family may have different origins or variations of the name, so it's always recommended to research the specific family history to obtain more accurate information.
The answer is Direct Response (aka performance) advertising where they only pay if there was a directly measurable action taken (e.g., app install, or online store purchase).
During recessions, companies are going to move their ad spend from places with questionable ROI to those they can directly measure the impact on.
Thanks to Hollywood, American TV shows, and the Internet being predominantly US/English dominated, every country understands America more than the other way round.
Interesting that Marakkesh is listed as 1070CE.
Marakkesh is where the 'gladiator' Maximus fights, and moves to Rome from, in the movie. That's during the reign of Commodus, which places it at around 190CE.
'Distilling' I think is the wrong word. They describe a person/event/situation from their highly ideological position. It's high-quality writing, but I stopped reading it for this reason.
Edit: from 'AllSides' analysis [1] "Vox's Explainers provide only one side of an issue, making it seem as if the information provided is all readers need to know, when in reality, Right-leaning individuals would likely include other facts or make different points about the topic. This prevents readers from getting a holistic understanding of the highlighted issues."
Which I find to be true. The most interesting thing is they are literally trying to 'explain' something, whilst pursuing their explanations in an obviously biased manner, ignoring information and viewpoints which might contradict their view. Which is to say ... it's the 'opposite' of explaining.
I don't have a problem with the publication, it's well written, but I question the ethics of telling people they are 'explaining' or 'distilling' the news when that's clearly not happening.
It’s a shame, too, because they have the great opportunity to be a news organization that actually delivers the source material in a more complete manner. Vox is incredibly disappointing and all their messaging sets you up for a complete letdown.
My thoughts as well. During Coronavirus what we need more than ever are not 'daily headlines' so much as 'status/explainer' news, like a dynamic, contemporary Wikipedia article that nails and dissolves the meta-issues of the day. Trying to find out the specific status of Canada's various bailout programs is almost impossible unless you sit there with the news on all day!
What makes you ask that of them? Are you already approaching their point from the opposite angle and want to find out if they've got a bias rather than challenge their point directly?
Are people not allowed to criticise a publication any more without throwing in a token caveat of: "by the way, publications on the other end of the political spectrum do this too, and I equally don't approve of that" to ground their perceived neutrality before someone challenges their argument rather than their motivations?
Yes. What in my concerns with Vox would imply otherwise?
Vox should call itself 'the progressive lens' or something along those lines, it would be more transparent.
And FYI I think the 'left/right' demarcation is far too simplistic for the categorization of the media landscape today particularly as classical ideologies splinter into movements given new trends. The entire world's political landscape has been upended so it'd be nice if we could agree on some new language.
But they actually did contact tracing for the spring breakers using whatever method they have now. So either they have another method, or triangulation was good enough for the contact tracing they wanted to do.
Just 'donating to creators' works in cultures where asking for donations and giving donations is alright. There are cultures (most developing nations in Asia) where openly asking for donations is frowned upon, and donating to non-charitable organizations isn't considered normal either because most people don't have the disposable income to just give away.
Buying things for daily needs, and advertising for them is still normal.
Unless you're willing to turn Youtube into a 'Developed western countries only thing'(which already exists - it's called Youtube premium), advertising is a better option.
Spanish flu was very closely intertwined with the war, because of which people were kept in the dark almost everywhere. Lack of reporting translates to lack of awareness of the pandemic which translates to people working and shopping fearlessly.
The difference now is that people know there's a pandemic, and many would be averse to go out working, or shopping even though the scale is much lower than that of Spanish flu.
Random tidbit:. It's named Spanish flu because that's one of the few places where it was reported, because it wasn't involved in ww1 and had no reason to shut down the press. Everyone thought the flu epidemic was in Spain.
During the Spanish flu pandemic, entire cities and towns would get sick and everything would stop. There were also shelter in place orders given during this time. 1918 wasn’t the dark ages, we had telephones and radios. People knew what was happening.
Well, I don't know. A decent tablet goes for $300. I could see myself paying +33% for significantly increased battery life. On mobile devices, the screen eats most of the battery charge, therefore also contributing most to the battery's degredation over years. An e-ink tablet could potentially last much longer.
