For me it would matter what they are primarily used for, not just what they could be used for. If my company is making a lot of its money selling weapons to people or groups that I have issue with, and Saudi Arabia is likely on that list (t

I think this is a little different. It's not the whole methodology that's the problem. It's the non-standard bin-sizes. If he wants to do log or exponential sizes, then it's 90.1, 9, .9 or you could round it off to 90, 9

I couldn't find any firm numbers on "the 2nd 1%", so I'd probably have to get my hands on some data to calculate it. That makes sense though. 1%, 9% and 90% may be a reasonable approximation of upper, middle, and lower c

I see what you're saying. The next tier down from the rich are more culpable (and well-off) than they realize. I get that that is the authors point, and I agree that it's a good one and one worth making. What I'm saying, is t

Some of the points about privilege might be accurate, but breaking economic status in to .1%, 9.9%, and 90% is arbitrary and misleading. The author tries to make the point that “the 9.9%” have the majority of the wealth and this issue is as

The passage describes the benefit of having the ability to hold conflicting beliefs. Interestingly this is not what cognitive dissonance is. Cognitive dissonance is the uncomfortable feeling we have when our beliefs conflict. Research in th

They are the same in that they both create a situation in which the p-value cannot be trusted. However, in one case this is deliberate. In the other it's a problem with the whole enterprise. Also, running multiple tests without correct

The base rate issue here is not about market share, it’s about the number of phone choices. If I pick a phone at random, there’s a very high percentage chance it will be android, because there are dozens of phones by different makers. There

I’m a scientist. I do that all the time. :) And no, I did not check the underlying article. I think my point stands regardless though. iOS/iPhone and Android/a bunch of different phones are not interpretable in the same way. There

Let me put it this way. You walk into a Verizon store and see 15 cell phones. 2-3 of them are iOS. The other 12-13 are android. Buying an iOS device is likely to mean that your an Apple fan. Buying an android might mean that you like andr

We likely have a baserate problem here. Most phones are android, so if someone just picked at random, they’d usually pick android. This doesn’t always mean ‘android loyalty’. It could as easily mean ‘price loyalty’ or ‘carrier promotion loy

I do the same thing! I'm also a taichi practitioner and am constantly working on my gait and posture. What kind/style of taichi do you practice? I do Chen style under a guy in Montreal and try to get to workshops when the big guys

People tend to find others insincere when it seems like the other person is trying or practicing rather than just acting naturally. Unfortunately, social interactions are a skill, and for many people this skill could use some work, so this

That's a danger, for sure, but once you're paying people you can generally be more choosy. CVs can be reviewed as can previous review work. No one suggests that paying programmers to program results in shoddier work. There just ne

The review process at the "prestige" journals in many disciplines is garbage. This is a known issue. Competent experts simply don't have time to do the reviews, so they end up being farmed out to graduate students and post-do

You're mistaken. Paying reviewers would only cause a conflict of interest if it biases reviewers in a particular direction. Which direction would that be? Paying the reviewer doesn't incentivise them to accept or reject only to ac

Well, their views on gender equality and religious freedom on average tend to be very different from the vast majority of those in the West. So yes, they might well be worse.

Agreed, and it's hard for me to see how you control ancestry or ethnic perfectly, since ethnicity is just a relatively stable form of genetic diversity. I might counter-hypothesize that the 1% they found is just the amount of variance

It's not that there aren't ideas that are important, it's that violence is really really awful. Punch someone in the face for holding, for example, a racist view, and what happens? He becomes more entrenched in his view. And

Anger at another perspective might be argued to be reasonable. There are some pretty abhorrent perspectives in the world. Getting into a fistfight with someone because they hold a different point of view, no matter how heinous, is absolutel

Seems like that quote misses the 'variability' bit. Gaps might be longer or shorter, but it's how variable in length the gaps are that indicates HRV.

Easy, the tire fire is specifically in social psychology research. Other areas of psychology (e.g. cognitive, developmental, personality, etc) have their problems but in most cases no more so than other disciplines.

Sounds like you're connecting the device directly to the audio system. With a radio transmitter, you're broadcasting on an fm band that the car picks up via the fm tuner. Of course if the person is willing to attach something to t

Bluetooth radio transmitter for the car is like $100 (for a good one). Quality is only slightly worse than radio (for a good one). Problem solved. Enjoy
