Reading this article I find it hard to believe an editor is involved in the process at Atlas Obscura. There have been several articles like this posted even ones that are completely fictional accounts on the website. The way this article is

I thought this was satire when I clicked on it. The more I read it got progressively worse as I realized how long it took to even mention prion disease. This article doesn't really seem reviewed which seems to be a trend I'm notic

I don't think that this was reviewed by anyone. It seems like it's just a like thing he posts himself. Looking at his youtube videos it seems he's doing this as a side hustle. Typical click bait videos with little to no real

This doesn't really factor a lot of things. It's a bit too simplified in my opinion. There's nothing here about costs involved, labor, and technological shift which frankly, isn't really possible for a lot of countries.

Uhh... Researchers also found that Black and Hispanic families lost a higher percentage of their wages than white families. By 2019, health care premiums as percentage of compensation were 18.5% for Asian families, 19.2% for Black families,

Hmm... 2006, huh. I wonder what happened then for it to change. Well tax evasion has always been the main game with these foundations. But it's a strange statement from earlier about the disbursement of funds through the Gates Foundati

Well I can't edit this and this page has likely been archived so... I'll just write this. Sam was essentially homeless. A failed startup with not much to it. Sure, it was acquired but it gave him essentially just enough to continu

Huh the things I heard about Altman a long time before was that he was a couch surfer at YCombinator.

None of the people I've described have been forced to learn these skills. Well, not in the practical sense. Here is an example. You an born in a Tibetan Monastery in front of you is a set of items, the items that you pick are the ones

Honestly at 16 even if a child reached this skill level it means they typically sacrificed other aspects of there life to reach it. Realistically less than 0.1% of children reach this route and from I've seen it's due to "enc

You're showing the winners not the nominee's its pretty clear what's going on here.

Huh, looking at the other nominees a part of me wonders if it was created by someone else and they just had a child stand in to take the credit. This is incredibly suspicious to say the least but who knows. There's nothing wrong with a

It's a skinners box. People will put money in for the dopamine rush it gives. Think candy crush or vampire stories. They're paying for an experience. In a sense the people spending money are victims of predatory gaming mechanics.

I genuinely thought this was satire when I clicked on it. Honestly the -punk genre itself to me doesn't really make any sense. There is little to no real connection between punk genres with the notable exception of Cyberpunk and Biopun

This doesn't really feel that surprising when the vast majority of Tinder's users can be better described as predatory in nature rather than building up real emotional connections Tinder and all online dating apps have essentially

The thing about this is that it tells us a lot more about what media companies do online I wouldn't be surprised if most social interaction on various reddit forums are controlled by these companies after reading this. From the article

The CDC runs numbers on this for teachers the rate is about 7 per 100,000 every year this is one of the lowest rates out there. Similarly this rate translates from the 500,000 teachers to a rate of 4 per 100,000 which is statistically much

There becomes a point for individuals where even walking becomes difficult, if you can imagine a sudden death is often a result of cardiac arrest and heart disease, then no it has nothing to do with walking but the issue of obesity. For mos

Realistically it would never go this route. Instead what we see in China might become more common with social credit but this is also not necessary. A simpler approach is something that already exists. The denial to the online marketplace o

Again, no. These issues have been on going for decades now. It doesn't have anything to do with the recent pandemic. Platforms like Instagram are also 13 years old. Many others have come and gone.

These issues aren't really factors in most children's lives. Many of these issues are fairly recent though mental health has seen a steep decline with the introduction of social media. But there are also things that could coincide

Biased sample size as well. Most of the individuals in this study made well over 100k. An important factor to note: "Children spend most of their waking hours in day care or in school; therefore it is important to study how aspects o

I've seen some on Instagram ads that are essentially human trafficking schemes pretending to be modeling and talent agencies. It's kind of dark and depressing.

I feel that a lot of Neil's suggestions while good have many problems with the fact that many of the currently existing datasets explicitly ignore these rules anyways due to their "research" focus. I'm curious to how thi

I kind of feel like this would make the obesity epidemic much worse. Hybrid and remote work already kind of have their own issues with social isolation. As the use of KPIs rise for many hybrid and remote workers being able to leave during t
