> Travel agents in 1980 did less physical work than ER nurses do in 2015 whether measured in micro-tasks, macro-tasks, steps per day or anything else. My point is that that is an assumption, if we choose to believe 1% of the last 30 year

It is possible to get actual transferable higher education credits for around 100 euros for some european MOOCs. The US MOOCs offer odd bits of paper at this price range because the US credential market is not free at all. Accreditation pro

I think this analysis method is rather suspect. If you ask an average person with no great accomplishments about their hobbies they are inclined to downplay them into temporary activities. When you go to make a biography of someone after an

These stereotypes are very similar to the ones misapplied in helping the impoverished. What studies actually found is that if you give the impoverished money they spend it pretty well. If you gave a developer company accounts to spend as th

With 56 tests and looking at 2 dimensions, having ~6 false ideas certainly isn't surprising even if you calculate to 95% CI.. But despite our focus on the null hypothesis, it is actually just the cost break even to make false conclusio

Forgive my cynicism, but I see searches for alternate metrics as probable fishing expeditions for silver linings on falling behind. Looking at the results, and the above example of IE doing well in the past, everything seems to neatly inver
