a) the people who have the stock now want to keep it and be more wealthy

b) they don’t have much regard for your physical or mental health

Another possible interpretation is Trump brought in a lot of uniformed voters. That group brings people who don’t care about policy or fall for his repeated lies or like his rhetorical style. It’s not about achieving good policy, but about feeling like you are winning a realty TV style game.

Bringing in more uninformed voters through mandatory voting, will exacerbate the treatment of policies and politics as entertainment. That evolution will attract worse candidates and generate worse policy outcomes.

> The first chapter of the book claims, "The major problems of our work are not so much technological as sociological in nature". The book approaches sociological or 'political' problems such as group chemistry and team jelling, "flow time" and quiet in the work environment, and the high cost of turnover

Punchline at the end: "We don't say negative things about the art or the artist. Our stated goal is to collect, exhibit, and celebrate this art that would be appreciated nowhere else."

> More time spent exercising or sleeping, relative to other behaviors, was associated with lower BP. An additional 5 minutes of exercise-like activity was associated with estimated reductions of –0.68 mm Hg (95% CI, –0.15, –1.21) SBP and –0.54 mm Hg (95% CI, –0.19, 0.89) DBP. Clinically meaningful improvements in SBP and DBP were estimated after 20 to 27 minutes and 10 to 15 minutes of reallocation of time in other behaviors into additional exercise. [1]

There is a meeting or mismeeting between book and reader in math. Sometimes you are on the wrong footing to absorb a book. You bounce. Maybe you come back later and absorb the book.

As far as the title, just catching marketing I think. Might not appeal to all for sure.

Wikipedia: "Although there is ample evidence that individuals express personal preferences on how they prefer to receive information,few studies have found validity in using learning styles in education." [1]

FYI, this sentence -- "It seems like every jobs report is lowered after the news cycle picks up the inflates numbers and they're free to adjust to the real data" -- gave me the sense that you meant the numbers were manipulated to put out good news. I think that's what the other poster was picking up on.

BLS explains why the revisions occur: "The initial estimate of job change for a month is based on the growth or loss of jobs at the businesses that have reported their data. Generally, BLS assumes that the employment situation at businesses that had reported is representative of the situation at those that had not yet reported. BLS continues to collect outstanding reports from the businesses in the sample as it prepares a second and then a third estimate for the month. With each subsequent estimate, more businesses have provided their information. In 2012, the average collection rate at the time of the third estimate for a month was 94.6 percent. (See chart 1.)"

There may be a conspiracy to manipulate the numbers or a bias in the collection process or some dependence on the state of the economy. I didn't look closely at those theories. Some of which are compatible with the BLS revision process and some of which challenge it.

> On January 20, 1983 we read “THE HUMP: TWO YEARS OF REAGAN DONE AND TWO MORE TO YEARS GO.” He was of course to be disappointed in this, and Election Day 1984 is colored a somber black. In April 1986, however, the calendars begin a month-by-month countdown: “Thirty-four months of Reagan left!!!”

It's just nice that we can unite around our shared passion for correcting people who are wrong on the Internet.

You are violating the first guideline. Which I reproduce here and offer you an opportunity to apologize to me: "Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes."

As an example, the piece is clearly identified as an "interview." Presented as a dialogue between CASPAR SHALLER and MAGDA MALINOWSKA.

How would you characterize that?

Heavy use of the C preprocessor and C defaults to embed a functional programming language. Language with a small number of core functions and ability to apply functions to lists of atoms. Aesthetically favoring short identifiers and minimal whitespace to create high semantic density. Eschew comments.

In late 2021 and early 2022, the rate was the highest it had been in 20 years.

Although people leave jobs all the time, this is a notable increase. It is worthy of a study and maybe even worthy of a catchy name.
