Copyright 2020 NPR. To see more, visit NOEL KING, HOST: The news from the Labor Department this morning is staggering - 20.5 million jobs, that's how much the U.S. lost last month. The unemployment rate is now at 14.7%. By way of comparison, in February, the unemployment rate in this country was about 3.5%. This is the worst it's been since 1940. What does this mean as we move forward, and can we learn anything from the past? With me now to help answer that, Heidi Shierholz, who's an economist at the Economic Policy Institute, and Claudia Goldin, who's an economic historian and a professor of economics at Harvard. Good morning to you both. HEIDI SHIERHOLZ: Good morning. CLAUDIA GOLDIN: Good morning. KING: Heidi, let me start with you. We're looking at job losses of, as I said, more than 20 million, with unemployment pushing toward 15%. Which of those numbers is more helpful to understanding how we are doing? SHIERHOLZ: They're both useful, but the 20 million is more - it gives more of

Business was humming for Airbnb host Josep Navas Masip in Philadelphia. So he purchased a second home and planned to renovate it and add it to his Airbnb offerings. "In the middle of the renovation, the coronavirus crisis hit," he said. "I had to cancel my renovations, and I had to tell the contractor to stop working." Navas Masip, 44, was bringing in about $2,000 a month from the two rooms he was renting from his South Philadelphia home. Betting that he could double his earnings with a second home, he quit his job as a Spanish language professor to pursue another graduate degree in education and e-learning. His plan was to lean on his Airbnb income during that time. Now with no guests for the foreseeable future, Navas Masip knows he has to rip up that plan, but he doesn't quite know what to do. He is still pursuing the graduate work online, but when it comes to making money, he said he's feeling increasingly desperate. Navas Masip now wonders whether he should rent out the house he

It took only minutes for Shanghai Disneyland to run out of tickets to Monday's reopening as people jumped at a chance to visit the amusement park for the first time since the COVID-19 outbreak forced it to close in late January. Visitors to the theme park will be required to wear face masks at all times unless they are eating. Shanghai Disneyland said it's taking "a deliberate approach" as it reopens. It will require physical distancing and sharply reduce capacity; some crowd-oriented features, such as children's play areas and theater shows, will remain shut down. There will be no selfies with famous Disney characters, the company said. Hand sanitizer is being widely deployed, and cleaning measures have been stepped up. Before they can enter the park, visitors will also need to prove they don't pose a coronavirus risk. They will undergo a temperature screening and a check of their personal QR code — reflecting their "green" or "red" status on a phone-based app. A green code, signaling

Google says most of its employees will likely be allowed to work remotely through the end of year. In a companywide meeting Thursday, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said employees who needed to work in the office would be allowed to return in June or July with enhanced safety measures in place. The rest would likely continue working from home, a Google spokesperson told NPR. Google had originally told employees work-from-home protocols would be in place at least through June 1. Facebook also said it would allow most of its employees to work remotely through the end of 2020, according to media reports. The company had previously announced it was canceling large events through June 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Both companies began telling employees to stay home in March .

As per this AskMefi question, I've been selected to be part of a US West Coast spoken word & performance tour in March 2020 and I'm looking to extend that to other places in the US while I'm up there.

I'm in Australia. I've lived in the US before but in the West Coast, so I'd like some assistance in figuring out how to best plan my potential tour elsewhere in a cost-effective and time-effective way. Mainly I'd like some help with working out a route and base itinerary - I can work on organising bookings, but if you can assist with that that'd be great too.

I recently scanned my parents' wedding photos. There are two that have been in frames for 10+ years. They are faded. If possible, I'd like someone to color correct/retouch (are these the right terms?) them. I can provide example that haven't been exposed to light (from the album book). The photos were taken in 1973 if it matters.

Unless you're planning a road trip to the west coast of course on which I'd be happy to have you take it the entire way!

Hi, I’m looking for someone to create a double exposure photo. I need brief guidance on how to set up the photos to get the best results, then I’ll email you the files.

I'm looking for a couple of hours a week of someone's time indefinitely to help with social media. Current project is I'd like to highlight some local artists whose work is being "shown" at our airbnb guest house so was thinking that I'd start an instagram account?

I'm looking for someone to develop a simple and attractive static website. I'm agnostic about the development framework. The functionality needed would be a simple landing page that functions as about/contact and a page that would act as a form where users could upload a file (~25MB .wav).

I have some examples of design I have in mind as models (Jekyll pages, etc.) that I can share with you.

I have never hired anyone for a project of this kind, so I don't know what common practice is re: contract pay, but I have a soft budget of ~1,000USD.

I don't yet have a domain registered anywhere.

Our mission

Superconductive’s mission is to revolutionize the speed and integrity of data collaboration. We are the team behind Great Expectations, the leading open source tool for defeating pipeline debt through data testing, documentation, and profiling. Data teams all over the world use Great Expectations to boost the confidence, integrity, and speed of their work.


About the role

As a Data Engineer on Superconductive’s Enterprise Partnerships team, you will directly contribute to the success of our partnerships with enterprise clients. You will be responsible for owning the end-to-end process of designing, building, and deploying data pipelines, using Great Expectations for data validation and testing. As part of this, you will be exposed to a wide variety of clients, industries, and types of data infrastructure.


You will be expected to:

Develop a deep understanding of client needs and goals, as well as their existing data infrastructure
Design, build, and deploy different pieces of data pipeline infrastructure, such as tools for ETL, data warehousing, and workflow orchestration
Train our clients in best practices for building, maintaining, and validating their data pipelines
Synthesize learnings from client work and identify high value product improvements to feed back into Great Expectations


As part of Superconductive, you will also have opportunities to evangelize Great Expectations through conference talks, workshops, and blog posts, if you choose to do so.


Why join Superconductive?

Glad you asked!


We offer…

A world class team, with deep roots in open source, cutting-edge software and data development. We are actively cultivating a new cultural blend of excellent data engineering and AI-enabled technical workflows.

A fast-growing company with lots of opportunity for learning and personal growth.

A front-row seat to the rapid evolution of data science and engineering. Data work is going through a renaissance, and—as the leading provider of a key piece in the new technology ecosystem—Superconductive is right in the middle of it.

A kind, curious, and open-minded company culture. We are always seeking ways to improve ourselves and our processes; we keep these conversations open to the whole team. We prioritize empowering our team members rather than a command and control hierarchy.

A distributed team with lots of flexibility around timing and individual work preferences. We currently have teammates in the San Francisco Bay Area, Salt Lake City, New York, Michigan, North Carolina, and other places. We’d love to add your town.

And of course, competitive compensation (base salary + equity package) with available Medical, Dental, Vision & 401K.


Job requirements

Minimum two years of work experience as a data engineer or in a role with responsibilities including:
Design, implementation, and maintenance/management of data pipelines
Implementation and management of SQL databases

Proficiency in SQL and Python

Proficiency in engineering tools and best practices, such as version control and testing

Experience with data analytics and relevant tooling (e.g. Python data stack, R)

An excitement for interacting with clients and digging deep into new (to you) technologies and domains


Strong candidates for this role will most likely come from backgrounds in either data engineering or data science. We are looking for people with substantial experience building data pipelines, or experience developing software with a close affinity to data and analytics.


Great engineering is more than just technical proficiency. Our team is set up to support and build the following cultural skills. We don’t expect black-belt virtuosity. We do expect everyone to bring good ideas and habits, so that they can contribute to a collective culture of best practices.


Have data in your blood - the more curiosity you have about a wide variety of data from all walks of life, the better.

Communicate well—in writing, in person, and on Slack.

Be good at time management (e.g. estimating timelines, prioritizing tasks, avoiding rabbit holes, speaking up when you need help).

Possess keen antennae for the lived experience of technical work. We constantly seek out opportunities for delightful refactors to tools, workflows, and collaboration, gathering ideas from all team members.

Commit to a culture of transparency, cooperation, and mutual support in an entirely distributed team.

Play nice with others. Assholes need not apply.


Nice to haves

Experience in a client-facing role, e.g. sales engineering, implementations, forward deployed engineering

Project management experience

Experience with domain-specific data in multiple industries (e.g. healthcare, ad-tech, e-commerce)

Advanced skills in data analytics, statistics, or machine learning

Devops and data infrastructure skills are a plus (e.g. workflow orchestration tools, containerization)

Experience with software engineering, and possibly contributions to open source projects


Superconductive Health, Inc. is an Equal Opportunity Employer. In compliance with Federal law and the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 22.1800, the selected candidate will be required to provide documentation that will verify their identity and eligibility to work in the United States.

I wrote a book for my son's birthday that is a version of the song Down by the Bay. I would love to accompany the not-quite-a-book with an MP3 of the song that he can sing along with. If you can sing and play an instrument (guitar, piano, kazoo, whatever) and put together a fun/happy/lively recording of the song, I want you! I was thinking $50 CAD? But I don't really know what's reasonable here. Also, I would somewhat prefer a Canadian just because I know how to email/text money to a Canadian, but I'm not really sure how I would pay anyone else. But if you have a way for me to pay you (I dunno a web site where I can "checkout" or whatever) then I'm happy for whoever.

I have a HostGator-hosted WordPress blog that is on an increasingly outdated version of PHP and WP. I would like to transfer it to a new host, ideally one that is cheaper and that lets me stop worrying about details like the PHP version. Setting up HTTPS would be good, too. The blog itself is a pretty standard WP installation without much in the way of plugins and with no custom code or complex theming, so hopefully the transfer will be simple.

I'm open to an hourly rate or a flat fee.

Schach verbessert Konzentrationsfähigkeit und Leistungen – in allen Fächern. Die schulfreie Zeit ist für Eltern und Großeltern der perfekte Zeitpunkt, ihre Kindern oder Enkel das Denkspiel zu lehren. Das geht auch ohne direkten Kontakt.

Unfähigkeit im Job ist immer ein Problem. Insbesondere dann, wenn es sich um eine Führungskraft handelt. Versagt der Chef, sind Mitarbeiter gefordert, ihn richtig zu führen. Sechs Tipps helfen dabei.

Während der Pubertät ist das Gehirn eine Großbaustelle. Schule ist bei vielen Jugendlichen nicht mehr die erste Priorität. Mit einfachen Regeln können Eltern ihr Kind trotzdem noch motivieren. Zwei Fehler sollten Sie jedoch tunlichst vermeiden.

Die Corona-Krise verlangt auch von Eltern einiges ab. Sie müssen Kinderbetreuung und Beruf irgendwie zusammenbringen. Für Schulen gibt es bereits eine erste Perspektive, doch wie sieht es mit den Kitas aus?

Wegen der Corona-Pandemie wurden in diesem Jahr Abschlussprüfungen verschoben, was die Vorbereitung erschwerte. Dabei sind Abi und MSA ohnehin schon stressig genug. So helfen Sie Ihren Kindern beim Lernen auf den letzten Drücker.

Das Echo auf die Wutrede zweier WELT-Autoren gegen die Lehrer war riesig. Während andere Eltern die harsche und subjektive Kritik fast ausnahmslos bestätigen, wehren sich die Lehrer vehement. Der Streit ist unerbittlich, hat aber eine wichtige Wirkung.

Gute Führung ist in der Krise wichtiger denn je. Doch wenn Vorgesetzte und Mitarbeiter im Homeoffice sind, kann das schnell zu Konflikten führen. Wer die richtigen Tricks kennt, kann auch von zu Hause motivieren. Das fängt schon beim Videocall an.

Sollte es zu einer tiefen Rezession in Europa kommen, seien fast 13 Millionen Jobs von Akademikern in Gefahr, davon geht das Beratungsunternehmen McKinsey aus. Vor allem Stellen in der Tourismusbranche seien nicht mehr sicher.

Deutschlands Hochschulen waren ein Sinnbild für Tageslichtprojektoren und Kreidetafeln – bis zur Virus-Pandemie. Jetzt muss der Online-Unterricht funktionieren – und vielen Studenten wird jetzt plötlzich klar: Vor dem Professor gibt es kein Entkommen mehr.

Die Schulschließungen im Zuge der Corona-Krise könnten für Deutschlands Schüler dramatische Konsequenzen haben. Denn jedes Schuljahr erhöht das Lebenseinkommen um rund zehn Prozent. Zukünftigen Akademikern drohen jetzt Verluste im sechsstelligen Bereich.

Mit einer Wutrede haben zwei WELT-Autoren den Zorn der Lehrer auf sich gezogen. Doch eine Recherche hat offenbart, dass schlechter Fernunterricht kein Naturgesetz ist. Reden Sie mit den Lehrern Ihrer Kinder über diese sechs Fälle – dann muss die Schule reagieren.

Großes Büro, stolzes Gehalt, Dienstwagen: Chef sein galt lange als ultimatives Karriereziel. Doch Umfragen zeigen, dass immer weniger Deutsche diesen Job übernehmen wollen. Ausgerechnet bei der dafür vorgesehenen Altersgruppe schwindet der Wunsch nach Führung.

In naturwissenschaftlichen und technischen Berufen sind Frauen immer noch unterrepräsentiert. Wer es versucht, fühlt sich mitunter fehl am Platz, kündigt – und ist als wichtige Fachkraft verloren. Denn im Büro stecken Frauen in einem Dilemma.
