Some of you probably aren't aware yet of the rather excellent High Impact Careers / 80,000 hours blog.
It covers topics about how to have the biggest impact with your career, including
- how likely you are to become Prime Minister
- Decision Making under Moral Uncertainty
- Temporal Concerns
- Health vs Education
- Existential Risks
- Startups in the US vs UK
- ... and many more
The contributors include Carl Shuman, Will Crouch, Ben Todd and Katja Grace, with an impressively regular updating schedule at the moment.
The reasoning is obvious in retrospect, but is useful to have written down, especially with the research that's gone into the posts. - much like the Sequences in that regard.
We've been experimenting a bit with the font. A bit of Googling failed to yield any scientific data on what font types people prefer, though there's a fair bit on font size. Sounds like a new test is in order, though... (incidentally, if you or anyone else reading this happen to know of any decent studies on fonts for reading online, I'd be keen to see it).
Hum, no, I did see some studies about print fonts, but I don't remember any about screen fonts (the issues being slightly differents).
But at least for me, regularity is important in a font, if we take http://80000hours.org/blog/11-health-vs-education for example (which I found the content to be interesting), and the word 'donations' in the second line, it seems to me that the letters "d", "o" and "s" are bigger than the other letters, which make it feels a bit like DOnatiOnS and is painful/distracting to read.
