> In the context of HR, a "Job" is a collection of similar positions, an Job Analysis is "a family of procedures to identify the content of a job in terms of the activities it involves in addition to the attributes or requirements necessary to perform those activities".

Why would you think this is relevant?

Pedestrian fatalities are up in pretty much every metro, so this isn't a meaningful signal. It's still worth pursuing banning high-fatality vehicles from urban areas.

As with all research, the point is not so much the explanation as the collection of data.

Presumably, not always "less than what you're currently doing".

Wage-based employment is not subjective, it is a formally defined and legally-regulated practice. You can call contract work a "job" but it's not relevant to the topic at hand—wages.

Why not just say "eat baseline calories"? Assuming everyone is overweight is weird.

Again, you're missing the other side of the comparison implied by "restriction"—restricted from what? You can't just avoid calories entirely.

Calorie restriction compared to what? You need calories to live.

We can undo it now, the powers that b just refuse to abandon the altar of backwards compatibility, damn the cost. (Even though the addition of a straightforward document browser with no JS and no dynamic content would seriously improve most of the internet....)
