Got a good challenge for a fan of studies, and — how is this line best described?

It's all about a funny inverse relationship to "risk of death" (within a year) to the "added life expectancy" (bonus days of life) you can expect as you make it to your next birthday — while others around you do not.

Congratulations, you made through the Filter — you're one of the stronger ones, on principle.

There's clearly a well-known thing of "it's great to be 10", where the lifelong measurement of risk-of-dying is at its all-time lowest.

But, so, what's this flattening at age 20 through 30? Only seen easily in logarithmic scale … but in fact, if looking at women only, it goes *DOWN* slightly — what!?

I need help translating this into plain English too: Does it mean a 30-year-old woman is more sensible than a 21-year-old woman?

I can see how the teenage years filter very quickly, and the years after 30+ are normal. But how would you describe it?

San Diego condo owners hit by high wildfire insurance to get some relief from state.

Insurance charters are commissioned at the state level. The taxpayers of the state backstop the insurance industry.

The state’s fiscal base has incentivized poor developing and planning decisions for 50 years.

With all these celebs dying, here's some handy stats on risk of death by age and sex in the UK (as of 2005) so you can gauge how surprising it is.

Any other actuaries out there in the fediverse living that exam-prep life? I am now accepting any distractions from studying.

Q:
I'm writing a class that users will inherit from and add their own methods (for building models).

I have a few special methods in the base class - one to run/evaluate the instance, and one to convert results to dataframe.

I'm currently using underscore at start of these:
_run(args)
_to_dataframe(columns)

However this hides them from autocomplete in most IDEs. Any suggested alternatives?
