throwaway27448 | on: Where is the AI jobs crisis?
It's quite frustrating that they track average rather than median wages. As wealth inequality increases, average will be less and less representative of worker health.

They do track median and 25th/75th percentiles.

I more like my high school math teacher explanation: "Put your one hand on dry ice, another in the boiling water. On average, you feel warm and cozy"

Except dry ice is -100 and boiling water is 200 so you feel hot and not cozy.

You're just adding the temperatures, you then need to divide by 2 to get the average - so it's actually 51.35 fahrenheit (10.75 celsius).

Here's a new one. Musk goes to a concert. On average everyone there is a billionaire.
