The article's dek is relevant here: > The region isn’t the world’s richest, or its most populous, or the one that spends the most on sport. Yet in men’s football it has spent decades performing far above what its economy would predi

Having a bachelor's degree in CS doesn't mean that you're underemployed if you work as a programmer or something in business. The criteria for underemployment in the referenced report is: "...graduates working in jobs th

Institutional knowledge often plays a huge role here, but can be difficult to measure. A team member whose experience allows them to quickly provide needed context that would otherwise take hours/days/weeks to obtain might signifi

Not saying I agree that this is an actual Chinese strategy, but the idea is that, for now, they just don't drill production wells that pull from these reserves, not that they stop producing from existing wells.

Zoning is a scapegoat that allows us to avoid thinking critically about the "fuzzier" complexities behind housing prices. Of course it may be a primary driver of rising prices in some areas, but I think it's simple-minded to

This is a modern (American?) take, though. In many cultures, especially traditionally, age is accompanied by experience, wisdom, and even power.

A world with high levels of inequality is also a world where power is highly concentrated, which makes the focus of the majority largely irrelevant... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So what? Did the lack of immediate notification impact anything?

I mean... the price is still more than twice what it was a year ago ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The "Oh, well everyone has a little bit of ADHD..." opinion seems to be fairly popular, perhaps due to the increasing ubiquity of digital distractions we all encounter daily, but reading just a small amount of actual research led

This isn't really news to anyone, but the headline dramatically understates the actual situation if we extend beyond the conventional understanding of 'jobs that require a college degree' What the article discusses are lower-

That would also be true but, yes, the population would be decreasing without immigration from regions with higher birth rates.

Wouldn't most of the so-called "West" already be in the process of depopulation, based on current birthrates, if not for immigration from other regions?

It seems like you didn’t finish your response… Why is depopulation terrifying? And why shouldn’t we be concerned about resource constraints? Malthus being wrong implies nothing about the future.

Yeah, definitely not a great experience for anyone on a team that already doesn't have enough time to do their actual work...

Why can’t businesses just charge enough to pay their employees adequately and eliminate tipping altogether? Tipping adds unnecessary ambiguity and degrades the customer experience. I have no problem paying higher prices, if that’s the solut

TIL (I initially only read the first half of the article). I still think opposition to their presence differs from the anti-wolf movement in the continental US, which is primarily driven by commercial interests.

This is pure conjecture (and probably the 2,897th such "article" this year carrying this empty premise). The chart provided by the article even shows that this year's lay-offs have been significantly lower than last year&#x27

Major difference is that musk oxen are essentially an invasive species, whereas wolves play a critical role in the surrounding ecosystem. Look into the impact of Wolf reintroduction to Yellowstone National Park if you're curious about

What the ubiquitous prescriptions of college education as a panacea for mass unemployment seem to miss is that, for most, a college degree is primarily a signalling mechanism intended to keep their resume in consideration long enough for it

Hmm maybe we shouldn't allow men to drive before the age of 25? 30? Statistically, young men are shown to be the riskiest drivers so this should definitely have a positive impact on the safety of our roads.
