Yes. I agree. The basic ratio of the number of people working (or rather the number of hours worked) vs. the total size of the population is the number we should be talking about. It is true that this number is affected by people retiring,

I enjoyed this collection. Every visualization have some kind of bias in what data is used. How it is categorized. Mapped to colors. Projected on screen. Mapped on to a world map which itself is biased. Etc. etc. But compared to raw numbers

Yes. I think that there are some problems there. And besides does the point make any sense at all? The world's economic center of gravity is currently somewhere in northern Russia. The movement on the hand tells a clear story of formin

I have no idea wrt. the concrete company. I was making a general / humorous comment. But don't be naive about the message industry - in the big tabloid newspapers which are by numbers the biggest newspapers - the section with mess

It scares me that Google does not have the common sense to treat small(?) publishers decently. Given how I was treated over petty amounts on a website sideproject. Why would I use you guys as a payment processor or to sell software I had in
