"suggests that readers really altered their preferences to avoid being seen with a physical romance novel" I don't think that is necessarily what is happening, at least not primarily. People who read romance novels tend to re

This sums up a lot of my problems with fitness trackers in general. I know some people who have started to be more active since getting one, to beneficial health effect but I'm very skeptical of their use for most people. The false sen

It's about making sure voters are picking the politicians, not politicians picking their voters. What you see in a lot of situations in the US right now is the use of tools like Gerrymandering, challenging voter rolls, voter ID etc, ar

I think (from the Catholic view at least) that actions should come from your belief in God. Faith isn't just supposed to be a belief that god exists, because Satan knows god exists, it is supposed to be an acceptance of his will into y

This article is about the spread of the word coffee, and has a small map at the end. http://www.slate.com/blogs/lexicon_valley/2014/12/10/coffee_... It's pretty similar with coffee being almost

"When there were five vendors, 77 books were available for purchase and 24 of the titles were coloring books." They've added a sixth vendor, but it doesn't say how many titles are available now. I think this is truly sha

It's basically because someone else might be using that water. So in the same way that if a creek is on your property in most states you probably aren't allowed to just siphon it all off to water your corn.

Not really. I mean in an ideal world yes, but right now we have no idea how many other people did a similar study, found no difference, and just didn't publish anything. Let alone accidental or purposeful p-hacking.

But we exist in a democracy. Outside of the Supreme Court we don't really have a good way of making unpopular things happen. Congress is not going to pass a meat tax anytime soon, neither party is close to supporting it.

Historically wars frequently involved one side razing the others city and murdering and enslaving all of their non-combatants. Not exactly out of harms way.

The problem is that people like eating lots of chicken and will not be happy about suddenly paying more, whether it is through taxes or increased cost from regulations. In the US alone we killed 9 billion chickens a year, or about 28 chicke

This is in no way a fair reading of Drum on the lead stuff. His basic point is that the rise and fall off crime is due in large part to lead so you should ignore politicians who try to claim credit for it with their policing programs and th

The core problem is that verification comes with perks. If veryifing someone just meant "Yep, it's that person alright" I don't think there would be all these issues with twitter saying "Yep, this is really the spok

Because the EU will say no and Britain will be screwed. It wouldn't be great for the EU either, but it would hurt them a lot less.

"How many small towns in the US can you say that of?" Most of them. I'm not denying Canada's is lower (about a third of the US homicide rate) but most small towns in the US can go years without any homicides.

Another problem is that different subfields of math use jargon a little bit differently. Normal for instance can mean so many different things.

To be fair though, the milk I drink comes from Wisconsin, which isn't have a drought, while the almonds I eat/drink come from California which is having a drought. Unfortunately we can't grow almonds in most of the parts of t

My twitter feed is full of content creators on Patreon who are aghast at the recent changes that penalize large numbers of small pledges, so if they can just be Patreon from a week ago it might be enough.

It looks like they are charging a flat fee to everyone regardless of how they pay. I think the CC companies tend to get mad if you charge a fee to people paying credit at stores where paying by check or cash is an option. IIRC you can also

My Echo is near my kitchen, and I mostly use it when I am doing stuff there. So I can tell it to play my news briefing and get the weather while I make my coffee in the morning. I can listen to music, set timers, and convert units when I am
