   While the findings are solid and the denial is despicable corpspeak, I fear the data is still way safer this way than letting the same kind of contractors build a "secure" app and then finding all that data neatly ordered in an op

   I don‘t doubt the results, but I also wouldn‘t exclude a causation/correlation 101 fail. Just thinking back at my own first years with kids, the workload was so tough I neglected most testosterone producing activities (sports, action,

   After more than 500 interviews and having hired about 50 engineers, I have to wholeheartedly disagree. I've A/B tested my interview script and technique over all those years and there's a massive inverse correlation between h

   This comment hits the nail on the head. Plus, what the OP conveniently ignores, is that electric cars aren‘t a talisman, but a bridgehead. If electric cars succeed on a large scale, it means we solved making electricity storage fast, dense

   I‘ve come to the conclusion that planting trees is probably the best strategy in the short term. While there‘s obviously limited space to continue that forever without advanced strategies such as BECCS, it’s a super safe and extremely scala

    The biggest problem if you really wanted to do this is that gross and net work aren't the same. And depending on the job, they can be really, REALLY different. My wife is a part-time accountant and for her it's working out nicely.

    For me, it’s incomprehensible how toothless US institutions have become over the past decade — and even more, how okay the American public is with that. There are no robocalls in Germany, where I reside. It’s a completely non-existing probl

    Ironically, on a meta level, OurWorldInData itself isn‘t immune from that. While I personally love how they build a positivist and fact based counterpoint to a world not built for a 24h news cycle, they are selectively confirmation biased
