I encourage everyone to read how Economists think about education: Spencer’s Job Market Signaling paper.

It’s not just about learning skills, but it’s a natural and rational mechanism to filter talents.

Any reason this is not supported on iOS/tvOS devices? Would love to make it work on my Apple TV!

> We must also always consider that there could be “third variables” that cause both of the first two variables to rise. In this case, one plausible confounding third variable is permissive parenting. Perhaps permissive parents (in each country) simultaneously do two things: they give their kids smartphones at very young ages, and they also give them few boundaries and little structure, which then interferes with development and produces struggling young adults.
From the original article. I wonder if this variable is controlled, how much of the correlation will be gone.

I think https://privacy.com is close to that. You get a virtual credit card number for every single service that you sign up for, and you can simply disable them in a centralized place.
It works on the web but it is still a hassle to use on mobile. I imagine Apple can potentially do this using Apple Card, but I don't think this is going to happen any time soon.

Checkout Mazda3. Hud with navigation is awesome to use.

That's why I love my 2019 Mazda3. Modern enough, but not bloated.

This perhaps has more flexibility and can deal with almost any website.

Would be wonderful if the status can be synced with my Twitter account!
Also would definitely pay for it I can use a custom domain.
