This is a pretty egregious misreading of both Hardin and Ostrom, where on earth did you get this from? Hardin did not argue that private industry was more efficient. His paper desc…

I have to disagree with your take on "High critic score / low audience score". There is a swathe of more challenging, experimental, or art house movies that fall into this category…

The old hacker news hug of death...

Great idea! The scrolling is a bit broken though. I can't scroll down the text on my trackpad without it going to the next article, and also it just a lot of articles with a tiny m…

I'm having a hard time googling the book you mentioned. Is it by any chance called 'They Thought They Were Free: The Germans 1933-45'? That's the closest thing I could find. https:…

Well no. It's not uncommon for p-values to be even lower than that. We are talking about a specific SNP (allele) having a specific mutation being predictive of a phenotype / outcom…

So, it is like that, but it's also not. A couple decades ago, with the advent of GWASes, because of all the multiple testing that was going on, there was an agreed new p-value thre…

I have never heard of FireDucks! I'm curious if anyone else here has used it. Polars is nice, but it's not totally compatible. It would be interesting how much faster it is for mor…

Other high ranking military officers that have worked closely with Trump disagree. I might be inclined to believe them over you, unless you've also worked with Trump? Or are you ju…

I have a question that hopefully a molecular biologist can answer. Can tools like this potentially create protein structures that specifically bind in certain cells? Or is this mor…

I suggest you read 'Study Size' under 'Methods'. Detecting an odds ratio of 1.3 with 80% power, and rounding way up to 3000 cases. To me that's not a small sample size, but definit…

You are trying to justify one strand of unethical behaviour (how humans have bred dogs) with another. Not sure that holds up.

For those not in Academia, it's worth noting that when you get to his level, it's more like being a VP or senior leader. Ultimately, yes you are responsible for the quality of outp…

I ran into this too. I run a very silly slack bot for my friends, and it randomly cycles through pictures that we all have created. Initially it was completely random choice per in…

> Best Things First. By Bjorn Lomborg Wait, this is the social scientist who wrote The Skeptical Environmentalist, whom a Danish Science committee found to be "scientifically disho…

A lot of people... in fact a huge portion of statisticians, epidemiologists, econometrics, use it as their primary language. I do genetic epidemiology (which is considerably more c…

In my field (genetic epidemiology), there are annoyingly un-standardised toolsets. There are libraries in R, python, and C/C++ binaries. Being able to string these together in one …

So, this peer reviewed analysis of real data is wishful thinking science compared to your anecdotal observations? I might suggest you rethink your stance based on new information. …

In 2015, GitHub sent me a DMCA takedown notice for a repository of dotfiles. When I tried to convince them how ridiculous that is, their only suggestion was to file a DMCA counter …

Is this a real opinion? My god. Thinking that aborting female embryos because they will be considered less important in society is wrong, AND think that removing a women's right to…
