It's unlikely that many are lying. The phenomenon of the "Herbivore Man" has spread and there are now signs of a similar trend among some women. The perspective behind all this appears to be: "If I get involved in a rel

While I am deeply concerned about the issue of privacy, my immediate concern regarding ads is keeping the ads distinct from other content. In other words, I want every ad to be instantly recognizable as an ad so I can more quickly choose to

Well, I wouldn't say we understand C. elegans neurobiology and behavior "fully", but great advances have been made at the systems level: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2904967/#__

Quite right. The movement toward a reconciliation between various levels of abstraction and observation is one (perhaps the greatest one) of the ways we know we scientists are "getting it right". Peter Watson's book "Con

I doubt it would meet the legal definition of fraud if it is true that features are removed rather than patched or if some sort of certification upstream of a given security patch is absent. But I'm not a lawyer so...

This is an example of a myth that just won't die. The Skeptics Society (to give but one example) has been trying for years to put this nonsense to rest: https://www.skeptic.com/insight/the-myth-of-learning-styles&#

I have had similar experiences. I graduated from high school early but just could not seem to get interested in college classes, despite my personal interest in a wide variety of topics. I left college and worked for years as a nurse's

I must say I'm puzzled by the author's choice to include environmental work alongside the arts/humanities as being examples of "follow your passion and starve". As a scientist working in the environmental field(s),

There is also the danger of microplastic particles acting as endocrine disruptors. This is a rapidly developing field within (eco)toxicology and is of growing concern among environmental scientists. https://pubs.acs.org/doi&

The definition you cite is not quite right (from a Marxian perspective). According to Marx, capital is an accumulation of money used to purchase something so that it may be sold again AND whose consumption brings about an increase in the va

Not sure if this counts but I still have (and occasionally play with) an Atari 2600. For you younglings, that piece of hardware is almost 40 years old.

Robust statistical analyses require knowledge, judgement, and increasingly, specialist expertise. To market a product as a way to jettison the statistician is so shortsighted as to be intellectual malpractice. Forgive me if I seem overly ag

Unless I'm missing something, the article you linked to conflates anecdotes from America with statistics from England and Wales. Other problems abound in the article. Incredibly sloppy job on the part of The Atlantic.

I second that. I own a System76 laptop (Ubuntu 16.04 pre-installed) and an HP stream that I bought specifically to run POP! OS. I have also replaced several of my colleagues' OS with a Linux distro and I have yet to encounter a problem

Does Libre's open source spreadsheet not provide the functionality you need? I took a small HP stream, replaced Windows with POP! OS (from System 76) and the spreadsheet comes as part of the package. As far as I know, it's also ea

I can only offer hearsay since a friend is employed by FB. With that disclaimer, I will say that, apparently, FB employees are all across the board on the issue...HOWEVER, there are an increasing number of FB employees privately revealing t

I suggest you take great caution before casting aside entire analytical approaches used by scientists. Remember that intellectual humility is also part of being a good skeptic.

How is the title click-bait? It doesn't say that Google will pay billions. It says it is a billion-dollar case...and it is (at least potentially). If this meets your definition of "very clickbaity" then where could you go

I wouldn't stake my reputation on ANY p-value. I don't want to derail the conversation, but the p- value should have been discarded (more or less) years ago.

I see the same phenomena in response to Sam Harris. I would blame shortened attention spans for the misreadings (which seems the fashionable scapegoat today) but even other academics spout nonsense with regards to Pinker and Harris. I a
