A 90 year old is unlikely to make a mathematical breakthrough, so normalizing by total population is absurd. If you wanted to know whether people are breaking marathon records in 100 years time, would you rather know the population of the e

Agriculture continues its long term trend of reducing needed human input. Almost everyone was once a farmer now only a few, and soon even less. This could shift the skills needed to farm more towards automation/programming tech etc

Interesting to consider if they gave you a useless treatment, and your pain went away the same as it did, would you have thought it was because of medicine? I think doctors get a lot of credit for reversion to the mean.

One of the first suggestions I have is to use source control and store the Git hash of code used to generate data. A few times I've heard back "we don't have time for that" - pretty easy to see how the replication crisis

This seems really great, housing 230 people on land that cost $400k 25 years ago, but I suspect it would be illegal to do this in almost all of the Western world where people want to live. It's basically an exercise in rezoning. If you

There are facts and figures given in the article but the terms describing them (eg "Paid off") seem quite subjective, eg: 50% unemployment after 2-6 years residency is a success 10k out of 1.5m going to university (0.6% or 1.2% of
