>“At the current time there is no consensus on what reproducibility is or should be.” This seems like an underrated part of it. The meaning of 70% is a bit unclear to me since the article didn't cite how many replication studies mos

Thanks! Yeah my kit came up a sponge and station too - but unmounted was so lightweight it was worthless. Perhaps a safety threat but I (with my amateur perspective) still think a shorter length would be very beneficial if possible.

What's your tip for what makes one good? I dont do a ton but for me it always seemed like the weak point was the grip was 3+ inches from the tip. If I am soldering something that is just a couple mm from the hole next to it then this r

If I'm reading this chart correctly on 2-07-22 solar production reached a peak of ~11MW and stayed their for about 6 hours. On 9-7-22 solar production reached a peak just under ~13MW and was at that level for about 7/8 hours. To m

>Individuals have unique responses, which can vary by degree and also by direction. I think the tension is that that are errors in both directions here. Sure - some people will have worse results than optimal because they followed advice

Intuitively this seems high but without any approximation of what percent of miles they are responsible for within Boston I can't tell if there is a unique problem or not. Boston has some pretty good subways. Though if public transport

I think you are mixing up what I am saying - or what that stat was saying. Firstly, if Walden University produced zero tenured professors it would end up weighting exactly the same in the data as random small private university that produce

Putting aside the specific strength of Netflix - the wording on this poll is incredibly silly. You can cancel Netflix at any time so what is the follow-through rate on someone who "plans" to cancel? What about the cancel rate for

I do sorta wonder how often people are turning down podcasts. Will MacAskill was on several of my favorite podcasts lately. Presumably it makes the interview slightly easier for the interviewer when there is a clear argument/thesis of

In fairness I think Bill Simmons, Joe Rogan, Marc Maron and Adam Carolla have had their praise for moving podcasts along. Same with This American Life. Serial was different, though in that it was a multi episode look at something. This Amer

Agreed. We just need to tax carbon or the externality of emissions more. It doesn't make sense for companies to figure out climate/energy science out on their own anyways. Its completely silly to expect that every mid-size company

If it is economical to build a 30 story condo then you can be assured the area is either a very dense city or an extremely rich suburb. I don't think either areas deserves special protection. I suppose I would take the above proposal o

I know very little about chess. Do computers play like top humans? Or different stylistically? ie - if you were a top player and looking at the moves of an opponent, could you discern if the style was more similar to a top rated human or a

I loved this as a kid! And also played it for a couple days as an adult recently ha. Even though I don't play much games anymore. Some of the logic puzzles were actually still very tricky. Was very impressed.

I mostly agree with you on land - but my understanding is that there are laws put in place that make modular construction de facto forbidden in most jurisdictions. Perhaps this falls into your definition of zoning or perhaps it doesn't

PG&E has profit caps so it has to offer service close to cost. This article is about a large wrongful death suit it has to pay. In order for it to not be negative and it has to raise prices to continue to be close to cost. The writer is

I mean the state could pay for it...but then people just pay for it with taxes. Which is fine but also just moving the ball around. Unless you think the state wouldn't pay wrongful death lawsuits and therefore could charge the user (ta

>Yes, your PG&E bills are higher. And they’re probably going to go up even more, because PG&E needs to bury power lines and pay off manslaughter victims’ families, and the investors would rather you pay for that instead of them.
