The point that people are making here is that all the time we are made to believe that the masks, lockdowns etc are necessary to keep the exponential propagation spiraling out of control The default talking point and narrative is that even

AFAIK you don't can't get COVID by having it on your face, it has to be an airborne particle that floats and ends up deep inside your nose/lung. so the whole touching your face is a red herring I am sure you and I and everyon

> The advertising potential is insane. I doubt it. When you chat you are focused on the interaction. Ads are a major disturbance in the flow. When you browse facebook you are actively looking for stuff to read - ads fit in much better.

This followup paper seems to summarize p-values reported in 77K papers and uses the distribution of these p-values to compute the FDR. Alas everyone knows that the p-values reported in accepted (!) papers are questionable at best - any anal

I think this is the best point here. Reviewing is hard work with very few rewards - and you have to decide at the start whether it is worth your time to embark on it. Ideally we would like to learn something from the paper. I and most peopl

An even more interesting question is: Has the rate of reproducibility change at all over the decades? Are we just simply more aware of the problems today than in the past? When you had 10 papers published out of which 7 were BS, you could w

that is the problem exactly with the "stigmatizing" thing any research that finds that X is worse at Y must be wrong somehow because we know it cannot possibly be like that - so we are not publishing it at all - no discourse is al

It worked because it was a surprise, one-off project. Start doing it predictably and large scale and it might end up worse than what governments do.

That is not at all what the reply stated. In fact they explicitly stated that "the mechanism is baked into the system". Then go on to methodically explain what they mean. It exceedingly well argued and articulated point of view -

The main point that no scientists seems to want to mention is the clear cut and well defined conflict of interest in determining the origins. How would the scientists of the future ask for funding if it turns out they themselves directly ca

it has absolutely nothing to do with ethics, decentralization, deregulation or crypto. it is about correcting an error (an obvious and clear cut one at that). Getting a wire by error from another bank would fall under the exact same guidanc

Sounds like crypto is in big trouble. While Coinbase's value is not dependent on a given price of a given crypto currency they are quite dependent on people using and trading some crypto currency. Sounds like people are not doing that.

Isn't every terrible business decision a gamble that "could have paid off" if one thing or another happened? Being wrongly infatuated with a concept as Meta seems with metaverse is not a gamble IMHO. It seem more like a stupi

What do you mean "so what"? Read the paper. There were more cases per student when masks were required. Look at the paper and their plot when they talk about cases overall. We do not understand what masks do and what people do whe
