Because the article is about people switching back to an analog format. And the question was: Why cassettes? And my answer was: Pretty good form factor compared to the alternatives for analog.
There has been no confirmation that it definitely was a drone.
It was initially reported by the flight crew as an "impact". But further examination has ruled that out and attributes the damage to structural failure of a used radome.
"starvation mode" signals then trigger different metabolic responses from the body as well and lead to weight LOSS
Starvation usually triggers a reduction in metabolism with the goal of reducing energy consumption from fat stores.
a not-insignificant number of them are rail skinny
Heavy drinking screws up metabolism of carbohydrates. They may still eat a lot, but extract less from what they eat. A by-product of this is that the products of this less efficient process place a heavy load on the liver, eventually damaging it.
Maybe because the banks aren't stupid enough to get suckered in by horseshit valuation like Wall Street is?
It's just a debt vs equity question. Uber figures they'd rather borrow than try to raise money with an IPO. Either way, banks or Wall Street brokers don't care about the risks. Their job is to package the debt or equity and get it out the door to investors ASAP. They won't be around if Uber falls on its face.
Right now, the debt vs equity decision is tilted heavily in favor of debt, given the overhead costs of regulations like the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Also, assuming that Uber does go public in the near future, loaning them a big chunk of money allows well connected investors an opportunity to get in ahead of future equity investors and make a tidy profit.
Market segmentation works well to maximize profits. You keep the quality patent and charge a premium for it. And abandon the crappy patent to competitors. The customers who place a premium on quality buy yours. Cost sensitive customers buy the cheap stuff.
This doesn't maximize your profits. But it does in the economy as a whole. Since the aim of patents and copyrights is "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts", that would logically include maximizing profits across the entire industry.
Not all zoning is evil. But it shows how urban planning has been co-opted by merchants who push no car urban villages. Just so their customer base can't leave and shop someplace better. Take a look at the property and rental values of storefronts in these villages. They stand to make huge profits selling shitty products to a locked in market. Out in suburbia, the big box grocery stores with big parking lots run on razor thin profit margins. And if they don't get the price/quality point right, customers just abandon them. And they get boarded up.

And we should ignore digital media because...?

More than a few people were wishing for kill switches on their Samsungs.
My shirt pocket disagrees with you.
I hate to be the one to break this to you people. But there is no cassette drive either.
Cassettes offer no advantage
Media form factor. Smaller than CDs. Smaller than vinyl as well, although that has other issues with being a mobile media.
MP3 and FLAC assume some sort of digital storage media.

Yo dawg!
workers screening content weren't using Linux
Oh, I don't know about that. Having to view "Please install Flash 11.0 to view this content" over and over would probably give me PTSD.

OK. Now I've been triggered!
Even though my candidate didn't win, we could say he came close.
Drunks don't waste their money on food,
This is why the meal voucher program for the homeless failed so miserably in my city. Hand a beggar a coupon for food and they just scream at you.

Wow, this shows how evil the "zoning" really is.

GM's defect might only have killed people. Volkswagen's threatened to give the giant kangaroo rat a runny nose.
They do nothing!
One. 3.5mm. For a headphone. And I'll go away satisfied.
