That's likely DAX Copilot, which doesn't provide medical advice.

Because tenured faculty members at research universities often have lovely careers. The road there is long and challenging, but the result can be exceedingly rewarding.

Like what it even mean to "invest" in QQQ... just gambling

There are many arguments that index investing is the best long-term strategy. Is NASDAQ the issue?

This is an excellent question. I wonder if it's something like [1] on letter composition rather than meaning.

Perhaps parents with PhDs pass on genetic traits that support their offspring in the competition for PhDs and faculty positions. Unless the analysis controls for that dynamic, the research cannot correctly measure "socioeconomic" effects. As far as I can tell, the study does not attempt to do so.

I suspect you're correct more broadly, but this article is talking about software jobs:

The economists — Natalia Emanuel, Emma Harrington and Amanda Pallais — studied engineers at a large technology company. They found that remote work enhanced the productivity of senior engineers, but it also reduced the amount of feedback that junior engineers received (in the form of comments on their code), and some of the junior engineers were more likely to quit the firm.

However, there are major problems with the research. From the research article:

Our data include peer code reviews of software engineers at a Fortune 500 firm be- tween August 2019 and December 2020.

The study period includes the throes of the pandemic and ignores long-term adjustments.

Some might say that abstracts are the original clickbait.

I enjoy this quote from the 2011 piece. If only someone had forced me to buy bitcoin then. Not exactly a USD- or CAD-style "screwing."

  I don't own any bitcoins. I don't particularly want to. If one day I have to own some for some reason, I will buy them at the market rate and get screwed, just as I do today with U.S. and Canadian dollars.

Food for thought:

- The average age of death during the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic was 28 [1].

- 70% of U.S. COVID-19 deaths are age 70 and above [2].

These are very different pandemics, and it's not clear what comparisons between the two actually tell us.

The public servant was not fired.

Moreover, consider the fact that the press is reporting the issue. And that we are freely discussing it.

Works for humans as well (wisdom of crowds).

That's the end of an era - Yerkes has the largest refracting telescope ever built.
