When reading the article, I was surprised to not see the other studies mentioned alongside the strict survival results. In developed/industrialized countries, the number of years a child has an involved father predicts their future income, even after controlling for education level, total family income, etc. Of course, these are in environments where survival is not exactly a close call.
Edit to add: I don't know if the results were able to be replicated in non-WEIRD societies.
Fathers who are soldiers away on deployment who can only see their newborn over zoom also have the dip. But only if they've been closely tracking the pregnancy and birth. Apparently the dip is not observed in fathers who are deployed soldiers who are not involved/invested.
Jobs in health care, recreation and hospitality report the highest level of job openings, relative to employment. Many of these involve plenty of person-to-person contact, making their workers especially vulnerable to infection (a study from California earlier this year found that cooks were most at risk from dying of covid-19). By contrast, in industries where maintaining social distancing or being outside is often easier, labour shortages are less of an issue. The number of job openings per employee in the construction industry is lower today than it was before the pandemic.
I'm literate enough to read the entertainment section of a newspaper, and get a perfect score on the SAT 2 Chinese language test in the US. Technically, I wouldn't really be considered literate for an adult though.
When I came to the US at 4.5 years old, my mom brought with us some textbooks, enough for kindergarten through 3rd grade. I'm mostly self taught with help from my mom.
I more or less speak like an adult, but if I'm asked to read anything more complex (e.g., bank documents, geopolitics news), I'm completely lost.
I realize it doesn't have English subtitles, so I'll summarize some highlights of what's in there:
* interviews with scientists and engineers working on the project
* trajectory of the spacecraft and lots of talk about the challenges of reducing velocity for landing
* historical overview and context for why Mars exploration is important for science
* what to expect in the future landing and when it'll happen
It's pretty similar to video programs that NASA produces. Not sure what information you're expecting that isn't out there, but I think you're attributing to secrecy what is more easily attributable to people not translating open public reports into English.
My dad sends me articles about it on WeChat all the time, but I have difficulty reading it since my Chinese reading comprehension is barely at a 3rd grade level. They do make a big deal about it and it gets lots of coverage.
Western manufacturers have a tendency to buy from the cheapest supplier, even if it isn't physically possible to manufacture at that price point without cutting massive corners or making profit off of some externality. However, when Chinese manufacturers build their own brand, you'd be surprised how the business culture suddenly creates a different set of incentives.
Trust alignment of incentives, as opposed to hey-they-promised-an-actually-impossible-pricepoint-on-paper.
It depends on which data points you pick.
