In practice there's still extreme racial segregation across a lot of US schools. I recall a good article on the NY school system but can't find it.

Sweden has a slightly higher youth unemployment rate and they are only counting the actual labour force, i.e. people actively willing to work and not students.

I think it's a bit silly to suggest that the Chinese government killed a bunch of statisticians at the National Bureau of Statistics for publishing this data that's actually not as bad as you might in English language news sources.

I particularly enjoyed when the parliamentarian when brought out to kill the $15 minimum wage proposal being included in a Bill, leading to many Americans finding out they had the parliamentarian in the first place.

The next question that comes to mind is - you know the number of students, deduct that from your percentage and you're done.

The answer is probably that labour force data like this is usually collected through surveys of samples of the population, while the enrolment data would be collected from educational institutions.

On a year-on-year basis, GDP expanded 6.3% in the second quarter, accelerating from 4.5% in the first three months of the year, but the rate was below the forecast for growth of 7.3%.

You're suggesting that China is very democratic then?

National Bureau of Statistics spokesman Fu Linghui on Tuesday said the release of the data would be suspended from August as the way the jobless rate was calculated needed to be improved to reflect the changing society.

He said there were 65 million students in the 16-24 age group and it was questionable whether they should be included in the unemployment figures before they graduated.

On the face of it, this seems quite reasonable.

You would expect that youth unemployment would capture the young people in the labour force, i.e. the number of people actually looking to work.

There are some cool neopronouns out there

Like old reddit the_donald bad

This seems pretty inaccurate?

Manifest doohickey

Yep, completely gross bipartisanship commitment to horrors

Stalin is Georgian

Putin hates Stalin too

I fundamentally disagree that the latest batch of statistics/machine learning/~ AI ~ models deliver human-like performance.

I'm reminded of this episode of Citations Needed - https://citationsneeded.medium.com/episode-183-the-ai-hype-train-and-the-war-on-creative-labor-7e2efcd2b8d4

If it wasn't, no one would ever develop any kind of software or scientific research

The overwhelming majority of software developers and researchers are paid a salary and don't get own the IP of their inventions.

It would be foolish for them not to get in on this early

China has never been very good at English soft power projection

The current state of Russia-US relations can be pinned on Clinton and Obama as well

Guns from Libya to Syria = ISIS wasn't great either

The original sub was banned from Reddit for repeatedly saying a person who killed slave owners did nothing wrong, as some additional context

Probably haven't seen my post history...

I've did a lot of blue collar work when I was younger and it's really not.
