Is this satire?

Having a bachelor's degree in CS doesn't mean that you're underemployed if you work as a programmer or something in business. The criteria for underemployment in the referenced rep…

Institutional knowledge often plays a huge role here, but can be difficult to measure. A team member whose experience allows them to quickly provide needed context that would other…

Not saying I agree that this is an actual Chinese strategy, but the idea is that, for now, they just don't drill production wells that pull from these reserves, not that they stop …

Zoning is a scapegoat that allows us to avoid thinking critically about the "fuzzier" complexities behind housing prices. Of course it may be a primary driver of rising prices in s…

This is a modern (American?) take, though. In many cultures, especially traditionally, age is accompanied by experience, wisdom, and even power.

A world with high levels of inequality is also a world where power is highly concentrated, which makes the focus of the majority largely irrelevant... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, definitely not a great experience for anyone on a team that already doesn't have enough time to do their actual work...

Why can’t businesses just charge enough to pay their employees adequately and eliminate tipping altogether? Tipping adds unnecessary ambiguity and degrades the customer experience.…

TIL (I initially only read the first half of the article). I still think opposition to their presence differs from the anti-wolf movement in the continental US, which is primarily …

This is pure conjecture (and probably the 2,897th such "article" this year carrying this empty premise). The chart provided by the article even shows that this year's lay-offs have…

Major difference is that musk oxen are essentially an invasive species, whereas wolves play a critical role in the surrounding ecosystem. Look into the impact of Wolf reintroductio…

What the ubiquitous prescriptions of college education as a panacea for mass unemployment seem to miss is that, for most, a college degree is primarily a signalling mechanism inten…

Ecological Economics has been around since the '80s...

IQ still measures the same thing...

Geez, what about all the other studies telling me to fear for my life? I don't know what to believe!
