5G, The 4-Hour Workweek, Life-advice
🎒What’s happening at University -
Economics: Labor discipline model. Basically, every market has two sides: workers and employers. Employers expect workers to put effort into their job. However, workers decide how much effort they’re willing to put into their job depending on their salary. Obviously, that isn’t the case in previous centuries when slavery was prevalent. So, we analyzed the employer’s and worker’s perspectives through a model.
Working with Data: We studied the principles of creating a chart. Charts are simply there to understand the data better because numbers are hard to predict. You can catch trends, and patterns, and identify outliers in chart representations. What to avoid? Manipulation, dead space vertically and horizontally, not minimalistic, and distracting. In the end, charts are used to make the concept accurate, clear, and simple.
📰 News. The home was not a safe place for many teens during Covid. A new CDC survey found that 44.2% of high school students described “persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness” in the first six months of 2021, up from 26% in 2009 and 37% in 2019. Nine percent reported a suicide attempt in the CDC’s survey. And 55.1% responded that they suffered emotional abuse in their house during the preceding year.
📰 News. The new iPhone SE could help shore up Apple’s position as a leader in 5G smartphones and handsets.

I subscribed to Morning brew as my reliable, trustworthy, and relevant news source. It’s short and funny.

Here is a crazy idea. “If your all relationships are a problem, you are the problem.”
