Yep! A hundred years ago people noticed that meteorites were easy to find in Kansas - flat land with deep soil and without any rocks, so if you did find one, it was probably a meteorite. Museums sent out people to do their collecting there. It became a joke - the gods hate Kansas. There's a pulp novel with that title

Excellent work. Tell me, which Reddit should I join if I wanna see more of these types of maps and get info on how to make them? I’m trying to create a beautiful user experience with custom maps in Mapbox for iOS but it needs to be real-time rendering and have been experimenting with QGIS over the past for days with data from GEBCO.

I did a lot of research the first time it came out, I will need to find it again. But this is the idea, how can you conclude on something on a graph finishing in 2010 where your last figure is 1999 that you are actually comparing to something from 1974. The precise content of the questions also was questionable as obviously they were not the same between the different studies.

The French have an attitude that has been broadening in that period that suggests independence is more valuable for children and that parents shouldn't be living for their children. The acceptance of this is likely becoming mainstream. Speaking as an American married to a European (not French), the societal pressure is to live for your children and sacrifice everything for them as if it's good so more must be better. As we shift to one child households this dedication to the one or two children becomes even greater.
I have no data to back this up. It's just my cultural experience and perception.

I am looking for a new mid/senior position since January 1st.

Over 300 applications. Ghosted on 50% and declined without follow-up on 40%. Never had such a bad response rate.

After interviews I look for current workers on LinkedIn to chat with and (until now) every offer I got was 20% lower than theirs — and 3-4 people that are new at the company told that their offer was already 10-15% lower than someone that was already there when they arrived.

Fortunately for my pocket I am still employed, but I can’t say the same for my sanity.

Good luck!

In my experience, it seems like companies are trying to do a wage reset after the COVID era made wages livable. Telling anyone my current salary is a good way to get ghosted fast, but just looking at my resume gives an idea that my expected salary is probably going to be on the higher end.

I've also noticed that the jobs in my salary filter have progressively shifted from "senior position" to "CTO/team lead" for the same pay over the last 6-8 months.

I don’t like this projection. Greenland appears larger than the continental United States when it’s really about a fifth of the size or even compare it to Australia.

This means that a huge area of the graphic is dedicated to no data whatsoever whereas the real data is clumped together in the middle areas where a greater level of detail would be more helpful.
