Is this what is called “p hacking”? Looking a among many different criteria until you find one that is statistically significant?

I think the problem is misidentified in the article. I agree that giving people the idea that they need a pill to function normally is not great. But the 'chemical imbalance' explanation itself is very helpful, and doesn't re

There's Tesla as an American car company, which is arguably the most fearsome in the world right now. Kind of interesting how US manufacturing lead in several industries is tent-poled by one immigrant, Elon Musk. SpaceX doesn't ju

What if the mud that preserved the prints was covered in water at the time the foot prints were made. Then the croc was just floating along with its back legs down. I suspect some paleontologists extrapolate too much from small data points.

Zoom says it is a US company, and the account it banned was a US account. Imagine if everyone did that. China doesn’t get to make their laws for our companies to enforce for us. We have our own laws. Freedom of speech would be dead otherwis

Unrelated to the point of the article, but in the picture at the top look at the third woman from the left's feet. Grotesquely bound, I can't imagine the pain and what they looked like with the bindings removed. Could she walk? An

Does this mean that it was much more contagious than thought, if it spreads so fast while so many already have some immunity? Also, if 1/4 of New York City has already had covid-19, then maybe there is only ~1/4 left who wouldn&#x

Can US $12 Billion cost be right? Going to be difficult to make their money back on what will by then be an old node, with 20,000 wafers per month.

Keep in mind the AMD instances are using chips AMD put out almost 3 years ago. They still aren't using the new generation of Rome chips that came out a year ago, which almost doubled performance.

They don't have a mortality rate of 7.1%, that would imply that only 140,000 people got the flu or pneumonia. "7.1% of the deaths occurring during the week ending January 25, 2020 (week 4) were due to P&I". Of all the peo

I've sometimes wondered how surveyors deal with a similar, but more extreme situation. Many properties, at least in the northeastern United States, are defined by "metes and bounds". A combination of landmarks, distances, and

Twitter is amazing. I didn't get into it until a couple years ago, I was missing so much. Many of the most influential, intelligent, thoughtful people post what they think or are interested in. In the past, unless they were a journalis

Except any sound before the initial explosion would be impossible. The meteor would be traveling faster than the speed of sound, the first thing felt or heard by anyone would be the light and heat of the explosion followed by the shockwave.

It will be interesting to see the moral gymnastics involved here, seeing as Trump and Corbyn are perceived as being on opposite ends of the political spectrum, and President Trump basically did similar things (take advantage of leaks from R

It's such a blind cultural arrogance. Build a narrative of how the world works in the high-tech areas of the USA and just bring that with you everywhere.

They're both responsible, the difference is Robinhood has to settle the trade in a day, and then they have to try to collect from someone who likely doesn't have any assets to give them. And if they do, they will still likely have

Taking this line of thinking a bit further, they may have been trying to get more money from investors, and if they haven't already, now these stories are out they might not be able to. So I wouldn't be surprised if Robinhood free

Yes, that this bug has existed so long after it was used and publicized is scary. If it goes on too long, Robinhood becomes insolvent because they absorb the losses but pass the winnings on to their customers. Which leads me to believe this

As I stated in my comment, the writers do not appear to believe that their bosses are asking them to do anything unethical, and that would certainly be a different situation justifying a different response. Definitely, writers should use et

I am largely confused about this whole discussion. Why are we trying to figure out if the Deadspin bosses are justified in whether they want their writers to write about sports related things? This isn't about free speech. Each one of
