I find this fascinating; I also think it's a good example of a broader possible phenomenon of "the more extreme an observed value of an individual human attribute, the more likely it is to result from some extraindividual process.

I'm curious now about what "caps lock behavior disabled" is, as opposed to "caps lock disabled." I searched for it and couldn't really find anything that explained it.

The problem that became very salient to me dealing with miscarriage is that women who have healthy pregnancies are also more likely to have problems with morning sickness, and are more likely to avoid things like coffee that are likely to m

I've seen multiple cases like this professionally, and they don't always have the typical PANDAS profile, either in terms of sequelae or putative causes. Kid gets illness, very clear signs (very high temperature for example), some

The prediction about lead and terrorism is pretty bold, but would be interesting if it were proven true: https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2016/12/prediction-te... I'm skeptical because of the numbe

Maybe there's a generic term for this (objects or figures held up for attack as a way of signaling group membership), but in the behavioral sciences and psychiatry there's a lot of strawman figures or ideas that get held up by aut

It's an important question but I also thought it was a reasonable legal position to take. If there's a conflict between two parties, you generally would have a third party address mechanisms to satisfy concerns. For example, if so

I personally would prefer that these decisions be made based on competency rather than arbitrary age limits. This is especially true as everyone is aging, and the "meaning" of a certain age is changing dramatically. (I'd say

It's difficult to find EPA or DHA from vegetarian sources (other than algal oil), although ALA is easier (e.g., walnuts, flax, chia). Camelina oil is another good source of ALA if you can find human-grade versions of it. I thought it w

Early colonial America coincided with the end of the Great Vowel Shift; my understanding is English at that time sounded somewhat more like Irish or New England (and Downeast Midatlantic?) accents today. That is, "English English"

Their "team quality" variable caused me to tune out really quickly. Sure, they found out it didn't explain much but it was enough to change the way I approached the rest of it. Reinforcing one academic problem while attacking

I think maybe the problem with academics is that the fundamental paradigm we use to think about scientific contributions is broken. That is, the genius myth, the idea of the lone contributor with the eureka moment that hasn't occurred

To be fair to Schrader, about the S&S poll, BFI did hire someone (a film professor in California) to manage the S&S voting pool, who specifically said in public, very clearly, that he was making it his aim to change the voter list s

I can see why they might wait to open-source things, but I guess part of what gives me pause is the "parts of Mojo" statement, as in "we expect to open-source core parts of Mojo." Not "we expect to open-source Mojo&

Why don't residential induction stoves have that capacity? Given the popularity of aluminum and copper cookware I'd think it would be pushed out. It's one thing people always bring up with induction ranges.

I have to admit, even though I loved this, something about it made me sad. It feels a bit like the freeway eventually did end up decimating a neighborhood as it was (Bloomfield), to the point it's a historical mystery. There's a b

The irony of the piece is that psychology's greatest contribution to science over the last several decades is probably meta-science, or empirical introspection about the scientific process itself. Modern meta-analysis has its roots in

Alternatively, there is data, but he doesn't want to cite it, as it would reveal the actual, underlying reason for the decision, and he doesn't want to admit to it.

The problem he mentions happens in science too. It's interesting to see it manifest in history, but it's well-documented that retracted scientific papers continue to be cited as veridical at high rates long after they've been

Thinking of catastrophic managers I and loved ones have dealt with (not too many, but catastrophic they were), some of these resonate strongly but not others. For example, the worst manager I remember dealing with was relentlessly focused o

I agree, but for me I've gotten to the point where I dislike the "talent" paradigm in general. People are treated as marble objects, as if context in the past and future doesn't matter at all. I wish more focus were put
