This reminds me of the definiton by Lionel Robbins:

   > Economics is the science which studies human behaviour as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses.
Or the simpler version I remember:

   > Economics is about allocating limited natural resources to unlimited human desire.

I was just browsing this website and found that the jobs are actually listed at https://www.usajobs.gov I think.

The latter website, job search, job details and help center look actually nice. Unfortunately I'm living in EU and not an American citizen, but I wish EU did something similar.

(There is https://eures.europa.eu but just like almost any other EU website, the design is very confusing and cluttered)


A movie theater in my city (northern europe) shown both Kiki's Delivery Service and Howl's Moving Castle. It was just pure joy to watch them in big screen.

I wish they were remastered in 4K, though.


Isn't "number of old men who die from heart attacks while doing anything is non zero"?


It’s the going from zero to 100 that gets folks it seems.

Deep, heavy, wet snow is called heart attack snow for a reason. It sneaks up on you - a driveway you just cleared for years with normal snowfalls is all of a sudden a 10x workout from usual, and your brain doesn’t completely process this. Anything else at that level of intensity would likely trigger you to take breaks.

That said - I think inactivity is far worse. But I still make a point to go shovel my elderly neighbors walks here in Chicago before they have a chance to do it when we get particularly deep snowfalls.


In the cold. The exercise-plus-hypothermia combo is a bad one. Pick one, not both.[1]

Shoveling snow is a well-established high risk factor for older adults.


For fat people, getting over heated when doing things is generally the limiting factor on how strenuous one can push the body. In the cold you can exercise a lot harder before you get too hot, so the person can stress the body more than they usually would.


Maybe let's not program them to feel pain then? </bigbrain>


Thank you, Brussels effect.


Here's the actual list from the article for anyone like me (404media has paywall and archive.is doesn't work from Baltics):

> We are not the most capable country nor have the best engineers (hello, I’m the former CIO of Estonian Tax and Customs)

As a long-time Estonian resident and engineer, how can I help? (My email is in my profile)

DNS level ad-blocking usually doesn't break websites. (I use NextDNS)

The ad domains straight up don't resolve at all and never get loaded. I don't have any adblock/ublock, so the websites almost never could detect if I block ads or not.
