Can't find the citation, but remember gwern mentioning a study in one of his posts on replication that found that unintuitive findings tend to be both less replicable and more cite…

These might be helpful to you and Hummingbard's creator: https://choosealicense.com/licenses/ provides a concise rundown of a few common ones https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-l…

Thanks for talking about this. I'm sure you've considered this already, but it'd be valuable to contact an anti-corruption charity like Transparency International about your experi…

Similar tool is HNRSS: it's a wrapper for the Algolia API and allows to follow HN through best/new/etc. while filtering for queries, comments, and score. https://github.com/hnrss/h…

Feedly has an API, I started writing a script a while ago to improve some RSS feeds, including HN (by making the number of comments and the URL appear in the body), but never finis…

Thanks for the heads up, I’ll be sure to check your app out! Your approach is also kind of similar to Joplin (joplinapp.org), another open source, privacy-focused, and cross-device…

I‘d recommend Zettlr instead: open source, free, local (so you own your data), great active community. Obsidian is closed source, and I’d say its features do not justify choosing t…

What do people think of Marginal Revolution? I get quite a lot of value from the link roundups, but find that the original content (the non-roundup posts) are about praising their …

Yous should check out languagetools.io. Like LingQ, but with a much better UI, way cheaper and chill with non-premium users, and they fund a school in Africa as well.

Zettlr is an open-source alternative [0]. It’s surprisingly feature-rich for a one-person project. I’ve tried Obsidian, Roam Research, and others, but Zettlr is simply a much more …

On Firefox 78.0.2, Arch, can't sign in as the pop-up keeps closing and trying to manually visit the "authorize app" url loads a blank page.

This is an interesting hypothesis about capitalism (also seems to go against “capitalist realism” theory). Can you give a few examples of what the areas that capitalism cannot get …

Your (a) is untrue. For one, borders are difficult for migrants to cross: trains and coaches near borders are often checked for migrants, some borders are under police surveillance…

Your comment is contradictory. If rich people pay a lower percentage than lower brackets, that corresponds exactly to the idea that they don’t pay their share . According to your l…

Your premise is appealing, but how would it fare knowing that conservatives are better at understanding liberals than liberals are at understanding conservatives (the former are ab…

Some interesting stuff in here, but the way you present it makes it difficult to access. If I may, I would advise you to: - make the cards browsable on your homepage instead of pre…

Your explanation very much resembles the one I used to have for not being vegan: in hindsight, it was nothing but a way to avoid the cognitive dissonance between my belief that I w…

The theory that young trees capture more CO2 than older trees has been debunked as far as I know. The best carbon sinks are older large trees: they grow at lower rates height-wise,…

throwaway5167 didn’t imply that such companies are machiavellian rather than profit-seeking though, but that their profit-seeking nature leads them to be tolerant, even welcoming, …

Cheers!
