Also a lot of value add comes from corporations which produce things of complexity greater than the sum of their constituent parts. If you already have a platform in use by the entire world, that matter of scale makes it much easier to find

I mean, already at the local cop level "forgetting" to turn the body cam on or only releasing the video (at least, quickly) if it puts the officer in a positive light seems to be the norm * https://www.pbs.org/news

Potentially for health insurance but I get the actuarial argument, especially since higher than typical weight regardless of fat composition puts higher than typical strain on your cardiovascular (and other) systems

Yup. Polygraphs are still used in the intelligence community and court too. I'm seeing the tide turn (imo), but by no means am I claiming it's no longer used (regardless of merit). I acknowledge I'm starting a personal anecd

Do you mean "why is it still used in popsci"? I'd wager because it makes people feel a similar way to other pseudo scientific categorizations, but that's mostly speculation on my part. Add in a bit of inertia and the s

To be fair I've heard gripes about statistics, and sometimes even probability being considered as part of mathematics. The lines between (academic) fields are blurry -- academic fields do not form a set theoretic partitioning over ar

I'd be careful taking anything from "surely you're joking" as a fact btw. There's a good popsci comms video on why here https://youtu.be/TwKpj2ISQAc?si=bpZOBy9WBGQzi6sk

It's still incredibly painful as a learner though when things don't quite pan out. You start gaslighting yourself and then handwaved/convince yourself away that this must be true given how consistent all the "downstre

Even in popsci/social media I've seen more and more awareness that it's "bunk" science. It's in the same category as all that "alpha male" theory, Meyers Briggs, polygraphs, and "left vs right br

Yes on 1 no on 2. Especially if you consider moshing etc dancing. Hell you'll hear them suck air sometimes when they're skanking around the stage.

Musicians are more likely to stick around these days because you can get a small piece of the pie instead of just immediately dying off if no label or radio station will pick you up. The underground is dying though due to a plethora of othe

Indie musicians love tech. "Sound cloud rapper" was a whole genre. Bandcamp brought so many indie artists into the mainstream who never would have been found without it. Historically, musicians made most of their money off of co

By number sure but by volume no, UMG/Sony/WMG etc are not owned by Musicians. Indie labels and the occasional hit independent label like Def Row/TDE are small in comparison and usually only include the owning musicians establ

For clarity, are you talking about the dead UHC CEO? You're right, I nor anyone I know ever gave him the authority to lead the highest healthcare claims denial rate in the industry and it's super gross that this kind of thing is

Yup, this is why you always shut down instigators at protests. Could very well be an agent provocateur.
