Wish I was told this when I was younger, would of help put the world into perspective sooner than later :)


Because it's a largely unregulated market.


If you read many other posts in this thread, you will see it's the exact opposite. Unregulated markets nearly always result in lower prices. Pharmaceuticals are, by far, one of the most register markets.


Unregulated markets never stay unregulated for long. It's an unstable system. The biggest players in the market have incentives to create regulatory capture mechanism through influence on policymakers.


I am asumming this is sarcasm.


> This is probably the most embarrassing feature missing on twitter, meaning the inability to click a notification and hide it

What would you do with ad? Probably hide it as so would do 95% of other twitter users? Sure, this would be sane behavior for me and a vast majority, but not good for the twitter sales department which is likely to have a hard time anyway.


that has nothing to do with what is discussed.

Person with 100k followers accidentally @mentions you. For the next month, your notifications tab will be filled with people retweeting and replying to that tweet. And then random notifications every couple weeks for years related to that tweet.

This has nothing to do with ads.


That blurry something on the inner side of the lens turned out to be an ... ant?



I think that explains it nicely:

There is nothing wrong to see actual people. What would you do with your free time gained from not doing "administrative" tasks like seeing the laundry / buy food?

1. Work more (for your boss)

2. Spend money on XYZ so that at the end of the month your account is cleared and you have to work more --> 1.


Or:

1. Spend more time with your kids.

2. Spend more time outside looking at the birds.

3. Working out at the gym.

4. Go to the movies.

5. Playing video games.

And considering you might make enough money, this trade off might be worth it. Plus, a lot of folks hate doing laundry.


From what do you come to the conclusion that older people are doing worse? Worse in respect to what?

The paper more or less confirms from the cognitive domain, that we are working to much. Upto 25 hours are the best. This interestingly coincides with claims from others, eg. UBI folks, to work less for increased productivity. Seems we are getting more and more factual prove that eg. redistribution of wealth should be done not by increasing taxes but by getting more people into the workforce in exchange of others working less (and earning less).

What on earth are you asking me??? I don't! Please actually read what people write before clicking on "Reply"!


Companies have to understand that instead of mainly targeting the head buyers / CxOs reps in the companies they have to target the ones that really understand and work with their product. As big company investions have to be justified, CxOs can no longer buy what they want without justification.

They have to sell the quality of their products to the users which will then convince the CxOs who are going to do the investment.


What I can say is that SAS allows you to get quicker at visualisations and analysis without actually knowing what you are doing. R requires you to think before and ask the questions you would like to get from the data.


Another excellent point. R, like UNIX, is user friendly. It's just very demanding towards its friends.
