I don't want to sound totally econofuturoptimistic, but No, it's not de-skilling in my book. I'd venture robotisation is actually re-skilling or up-skilling. Or in other words: the average education level of the employees aft

A few suggestions: - Define the long-term goals of an organisation explicitly. - Interpret these narrowly. - Give stakeholders a vote, both in the election of officials and on certain topics. I would argue that there exist (hundreds of) tho

1. In a dual board one could describe members of both boards as executives. I can quite understand supervisory board members to be unwilling to work with political agents on their board if they feel the firm's not lost yet. 2. Hostile

You describe my double feeling quite adequately. I'm so happy my children have enough space to play and partially live on without lacking much except school and friends. On the other hand I miss office life and the way it quitely deman

In the Netherlands with about 3.5k deaths on 17 M pop the estimation for infection rate is 3%, based on tests done on people giving blood. I'm not certain whether that 3% is an under- or overstatement (people giving blood usually more

I've added my relatives to my NextDNS and have yet to receive a single complaint while blocking a whopping 25% of all requests. (Off course I turned off logging.) I'd be happy to pay them even for my limited number of requests.

Difficult question, at least if you'd try to argue without politicizing too much. I'd say it's a false dichotomy to equate 'making money on the stock market on your own investments' with '(negatively) extractin

Some countries might publish sooner, but the most comprehensive database (WHO Mortality Database) has about a three year delay (2016 as the most recent year for many countries).

Not that I'd expect, since non-testing in probable positive cases (f.e. in NL those sick, but manageable and in home quarantine are usually not tested) seems to dwarf false-positives in negative cases.

Tbh suspending interest payments as well would kill already struggling Italian banks. For those countries with the appropriate finances, subsidizing this in the long run would indeed be a good way to handle this. Europe would probably allow
