Its even easier to criticise it and completely ignore "...but make sure when you do you compare it to the success of literally ever other attempt to bring e2e to the masses." Signal is a stunning success. If you or anyone does bet

Signal brought e2e encryption to the masses in a form that was and is usable. From signal having it came whatsapp asking the signal devs to "do that for whatsapp" and a billion more got it. That is no small thing. Bitch all you wa

and yet here you are responding in a thread with the conclusion clearly stated: >means it’s past time to reform a large chunk of academia. And you're taking exception to it, but now just claiming you're actually not, that these

So are social studies departments and funding in dire need of reform in your opinion? How does the "correctness" in your view of the original submission affect that need or non-need?

Also the other way will come up in these kinds of "arguments" without doubt. "How can these horrible critics say nudges don't work? Have they never been nudged with a loaded revolver? Can they not imagine that working?&q

Need to apply this to the C-suite. Publicize every single C-Suite benefit not being passed on to the entire company. Name the individuals. Being equitable is a bomb and management just lit the fuse. Idiotic is an understatment.

That absolutely is a source from which you can form an opinion on the content which indeed you have. Leaving it unspecified so you can't reliably is the issue that does not exist here.

No it isn't. p-hacking is something much more general and is in no way evidence of people losing money on the stock market. Plausible unsubstantiated anecdote is not data, etc etc, no matter how well the story reads. Try to imagine tha
