Honestly I don't know what the effects would be. I imagine a definite impact on personal relationships, particularly with individuals who remain more fully enveloped by their own filter bubbles. I do however think it's a great i

Until this is stock behavior in web browsers, I can't see it having much of an effect unfortunately. There also seems to me to be a huge question of what that effect would ultimately be.

Indeed, I think the headline is far too general. I came here hoping to find something from the perspective of systems theory or cybernetics.

We're using Apache Bloodhound, but only minimally by about 2 people. It does what it's supposed to do; that's the only thing I can say about it. There definitely seems to be room for improvement.

Ahh. of course... funny how even after learning the problem multiple times I could still forget the correct answer and manage to have the wrong intuition about it :) Ah, to be a pigeon.

I'm all for that result, but [isn't the increase in probability of winning the Monty Hall problem by switching doors an increase from 1/3 to 1/2]? [ED: no] The summary claims it is "doubled". I'm also in

It is a disturbing trend lately for publishers to seemingly insert deliberate fallacies into their headlines just to get more people engaged, causing them to pop up on more social media timelines.

Yeah, North Korea was just waiting for the NYT reporters to give them up-to-date intel on why their launches were failing. That's really the only reporting Kim Jong Un trusts, so I hear.

I find it much easier to recall details of material I've read in a physical textbook rather than an e-book. The unique cover, weight, texture, etc. of a physical volume provides more context cues that flag the experience of reading as

Technically that's a limitation of the price point, though. There is no physical reason medium- and large-format DSLR's couldn't be made with higher resolution and sensitivity than film.

Indeed. Maybe the original point is better analogized as saying "shovels are better than screwdrivers" rather than comparing two brands. Of course, it's even more meaningless to debate the merits of shovels vs screwdrivers
