OP wants the New Yorker magazine, not the New York Times newspaper.

Exception to all this, however is evacuation routes.

An excellent point I hadn't considered!

I'm assuming you looked at the physical copy for December 31, 2023, and didn't find it there? If that's the case, try the physical copy with the cover dated either January 6 or 7, 2024.

Reasoning: the article would have appeared online the same day the magazine issue went on sale, so that subscribers could read it on paper or online. So the story was published 12/31/23.

However, The New Yorker is a weekly publication, and therefore (probably, I can't say for certain) follows magazine dating protocols. In essence, the date on the cover of a magazine is not the date it was published; it's the date that brick-and-mortar sellers should pull that issue from their shelves.

If the story was released in print and online on 12/31/23, then the physical copies would be pulled to make room for the next issue on either 1/6/24 or 1/7/24. So try looking for your story in the issue with that date on the cover.

Yeah, but they can keep those deli snack cakes on the shelf for years until they're sold; you have to throw the salad out after a couple days. /s

I don't take it. I give it to my cat, who died one day after her twentieth birthday.

“Three out of four of the cable and broadband customers who called to cancel end up retaining some or all service after speaking with an agent.”

Because threatening to leave is the only way to get a half-decent price?

Iirc, if you die there, your body has to be evacuated to somewhere else.

spez doesn't care. He's realized that, despite his best befuddled efforts, reddit is failing and that no one else will hire him for a cushy CEO job. He wants to take his bag and leave while the getting is still (relatively) good.

I've said myself that reddit's biggest assets were it's passionate userbase and it's trove of commentary. But I remember reading a comment, years ago now, that reddit's biggest asset was it's profile data. They know what communities you visited, and which you were most passionate about. They know what specific topics and keywords got you involved in a conversation. They know the content that you upvote and that you downvote. They know roughly where you live, what times you're online. They probably have a decent idea of your job and how much you earn. They data is worth something to data brokers, and it wouldn't surprise me if they start selling it after the IPO.

Since Amazon has moved into shipping, FedEx wants to move into shopping.
