In addition to a touching personal tribute, this article also illustrates the jobs crisis for PhD graduates. Someone who started his career in the 1950s works into his eighties, teaching from hospital, and dies less than a week after retiring. This is not a good model, and a good argument for mandatory retirement ages.

While this is an important trend, GDP is not the same as wealth. You could have the same reported trends with a static, declining or GDP.

This article has very little that hasn't been said many times before, for example in The Atlantic back in Dec:

Sorry, it's google's Captcha3 library (it thought you might be a robot). If you have time to try again, I'd be grateful for feedback!

I think others have given good recommendations, but will add the Atlantic and New Yorker.

Also agree that a problem with The Economist is that it is always overtly pushing a particular view of the view world (rooted in a faith in the rationality of markets), which is coupled with fairly strong advice/prescriptions in much of the writing.

I believe it's not actually contrails specifically but rather the effects of releasing exhaust (CO2) at a high altitude (which would happen whether the contrails form or not).

Not perfect, but twice in two days is too much! I have other servers on digital ocean that have had no issues, so will probably put all my eggs in that basket!

Most views I've heard are that it is quite impossible to force someone to buy a company, but rather there will be settlement to exit the deal.

If you read the paper, it is not an accident at all. It was an intentional program where 14% of households fined under ACA received a letter to tell them how to enrol. A little sad the US Govt fined the rest but didn't provide this info to them.

Your comment is factully incorrect. The article cites three studies, only one of which (Gao et al) is based in a Chinese institution. The other two have lead authors at University of Arizona [1] and UC San Diego [2].

Note that [1] is specifically titled "The Huanan market was the epicenter of SARS-CoV-2 emergence"

Mischaracterizing the evidence and/or article really doesn't strengthen the "Occam's razor" argument.
