I've seen nothing to convince me that most C-level management "experts" care about confounders, selection bias or, generally, the quality of any data they come up with. Nor have I seen evidence that others in a position to ca

If you don't have to have home Internet service and an Internet-connected phone for work... shut off those services. It's fine. There's more stuff to do without the Internet than a person can reasonably do, anyway, even if yo
