Fathers are more likely than mothers to be active abusers, mothers are more likely to be passive abusers (neglect). Neglect is a slippery slope. Neglect is not a judgment based on the quality of life of the mother. But if her life is shit and filled with abuse, poverty, drugs, homelessness, mental illness, etc, then the quality of life of the child is going to be shit as well as a by-product.

data.gov is another source. There's also /r/datasets/, which might be a good place to ask this.

For me, sourcing raw data is actually part of the problem, and finding it can involve some amount of creativity. A lot of it is hiding in plain sight, but it has to realized as such.

Hi everyone,
In the last 6 months, I implemented an income tax calculator for Germany which includes several visualizations:

  1. How much is deducted as taxes and social contributions,
  2. What your salary would be in deferent tax classes (yes Germany got several of them, depending on, your marital status, are you single parent etc.),
  3. How you gross salary compare to the rest of the full-time employees subject to social security contributions (valid for monthly gross incomes between 1000 and 6600Euros),
  4. What would be you social contributions and tax rates for different gross salaries (e.g. if you get a pay rise),
  5. How many employees are within a pay grade for a certain group (Gender, Age, Nationality, etc.).
    If you have any constructive feedback please share it with me.

The statistical data are released by the German statistical office.

This is a common but incorrect feeling. Unless you work in a lab with NIST certified equipment, the glass thermometers used by 18th century english scientists are almost certainly both more accurate and more precise than any thermometer you've ever handled.

The CET dataset only specifies temperatures to a 0.1 degree precision, which even the earliest mercury thermometers could achieve.

Science and technology has improved, but we don't need to measure temperature out to the 5th decimal places for climatology.

We don't have reliable records of daily temperature measurements going far back, but we can still derive historic seasonal temperature with tree ring and ice core data reliably.

Accurate daily comparisons over the last several decades can also be made, and there has been substantial change in the last several decades.

Does it also have a correlation with sunshine duration? Here on the other side of the North Sea (Netherlands) it has been an exceptionally sunny year with quite the extremes, we're now at 2200h, similar to Florence.
