My hobo index is a leading, and trailing, economic indicator. I live in a small city near the railyard. The number of transients hopping off of the train seems to be at a seasonally adjusted high. As most of these people are the last to be hired and the first to be laid off the indicator is showing a slowing economy. Couple it with the demise of HP, CA, and other legacy companies and I smell a trend.
Edison if I recall correctly only slept 3 hours. Tim Cook about 3 to 4. Zuckerberg about 5, etc.
The people who work those long hours seem to be the ones who, due to a freak of nature, do not sleep as much as others. In general based on what I have observed, exceptions apply of course, there seem to be a certain type of person who is borderline manic, high functioning, who does not seem to fatigue like the rest of us. Drawing conclusions from them to the general population is false. What works for them kills other humans.
If you look at the fist graph the rate of increase is dropping. I doubt it will ever break 45 %. If you have invested in in these brokerage services (it's NOT sharing) it may be time to divest.
Are you kidding? In TX the jack booted thugs will rip panels off of roofs. Only Muslims, liberals, and Austinites have solar panels. But that's redundant.
Smartphones and their apps track and trace peoples purchases, movements, social groups, etc. Apple itself is but a small portion of it but they created a surveillance ecosystem.
An great leap forward in marketing and in improving the efficiency of the surveillance state. It turns out spying is cheaper and easier if you let the private sector do it for you.
I once saw a presentation on #2. The guy was from Princeton and he had the banners of his sponsors behind him; Shell, Bechtel, Dow, Halliburton etc.; which was fine he was mentioning where he was getting his grant money, unlike economists he was honest.
It seemed like a Rube Goldberg approach to the problem which would be massively expensive compared to controlling emissions and based on certain assumptions like penetrating impermeable formation deep underground.
But the kicker was at the end. He stated something along the lines of "finish the long term sequestration facility and then turn it over to the government for long term monitoring". At that point I realized #2 was just a way of passing responsibility from where it originated, the private sector, to burdening the public sector with it. Pass the buck! And pay us to do so!
What will they be using as a control? No control means it is not a scientific experiment in any sense.
*sarcasm* I know! We can easily engineer another Earth and then use it as a control! We have all the plants and animals we need we jsut need to mine the asteroids to create an object with similar mass and then seed it and let evolution do it's work.
Then we can have an experiment to see if we can re-engineer the Earth! *sarcasm*
Ummm no. It was the mother of ethernet. And much of what we call WiFi protocols as well. Not everything is invented in Silly Valley. Start reading up on ALOHA and AlohaNet. The impact it had was huge.

You're the type of person Orwell warned about.
Because marketing.
whooshing sound etc.
whoosh
Fuckin Nazis

it could also have been "queue"

The ones with the most newspaper clippings? Or the ones who never get exposed?

What is the control? It can't be a scientific experiment without a control.
They're not fallacious. It has been evidence based since at least the 1970's. I remember discussing greenhouse gases in my HS Chemistry class.
Homer Simpson?
It's not extrapolation if there is a mechanistic explanation.

That's why large companies buy them. Risk free innovation
I'd rather eye fuck them. But respectfully. With cuddling.
