Think about the last time you watched the news. If you’re a consumer of American media, you’ll probably have seen a few panellists, mostly with middling levels of expertise, shouting over each other, making sure the argument never goes below surface level. If you were lucky it was about a serious issue — maybe climate change, maybe school closures in the pandemic, maybe Biden’s cabinet picks.

So while, broadly, the news being gloomy is good for us, the news as it stands is a bad product: good for the companies, bad for us. We need a kind of news which is still a warning, but more informative, analytical, and intelligent. The only problem is that this is a pretty difficult thing to bring about. If the news is a product of profit motives, then we’re not going to fundamentally change it without overthrowing capitalism. Whatever your views on that (personally I’m pretty against the idea), that’s not happening any time soon. Of course, there is a growing market for and range of better forms of news: Tortoise Media, a UK-based organisation based on “slow news”, is a good example. But the industry isn’t about to undergo the kind of radical shifts we might want it to.

ggled with Bill. “What if I am too high,” I said. Bill said, “If you aren’t willing to push your poker chips in the middle of the table, you don’t belong at the table.” Bill is gruff and to the point, but he cares. He told me to keep the clause and move on to the next deal point.

Bluntly put, the news only shows us the bad because that generates clicks. News is consumed: it is a product. It is produced not with pro-social preferences in mind, but with purely profit motives. That does yield some good, as we’ve seen, but it also yields a lot of bad.

The current code generates random data each second to simulate a data point update using get requests. Strategy service takes the latest data points and stores them into a DataFrame. The current code doesn’t test the hypothesis but it is trivial to add one.

This kind of stuff — angry, simplified debates, and irrelevant non-news — does not serve any purpose other than being good material to clip up onto YouTube channels and social media platforms and generating clicks and watch time. It has no benefit for the consumer whatsoever, only for the pockets of the companies.

It enables us to copy-paste pandas code from Jupyter Notebook, start the server and observe how our strategy performs in the real world. It enables us to reuse matplotlib code as pandas-analytics-server renders it on a web page.

The analytics server was developed with an intent to enable users to test the strategy as quickly as possible with minimal frontend and backend development. Enabling users to focus on the core of their concept.

State-owned media companies always, without fail, upset left-wingers and right-wingers, who constantly accuse them of bias — usually mistaking neutrality for bias. They rely on limiting those accusations and the consistent support of the broad centre-ground majority of the country. So if a state-owned media company were to start digging deeper into stories, going beyond simply reporting what has happened and what has been said about it, they’d quickly run into hot water, opening themselves up to claims — even if entirely false — of bias and side-taking.

You might think that state-owned media is at least a good partial solution to this problem. And certainly, there is room for new government-led or government-subsidised news corporations which have a more intelligent and informative brand of news as their aim. The problem is not that these corporations couldn’t theoretically come about; the problem is that they have very little wiggle room because of the unique pressures on state-owned media organisations.

To host the analytics server, users can create an AWS account and start an instance anywhere in the world for free. pandas-analytics-server already has the installation instructions for CentOS-based operating systems. Let me know in the comments if you need some help with it.

It might be worth re-examining my earlier point about the news as a set of warnings. That point still stands, but only with regard to its effects. Asking why the news is like this will throw up some problems for us.

But all too often, it’s on a trivial matter — the kind of things which come and go regularly to lots of fanfare but with little consequence. Maybe the President tweeted, parroting a line from Fox and Friends, and CNN picked it up and argued about it for 5 minutes before moving on.
