Publishing null results would be great, but I’m worried about how that could also be gamed. How do you distinguish a ‘real’ null result from one done in a sloppy study? Would people run shoddy experiments to get null results to undermine th

yeah, it seems weird that certain scientific and technological breaktroughs are seen as cheating while other are not. nutrition and sports science have made training far more effective than it used to be. materials science has created light

It’s commonly done in fMRI studies and I always got the impression it was less about not being able to understand negative relationships (e.g., it’s well understood that things like the default mode network is inversely related to active pr

I wonder how much the context of being in an interview screws this up. They might be able to solve it perfectly if encountered in the wild, but if you see it in an interview part of you is thinking “there’s got to be a trick to this that I’

I assume that a large number of people in video game and movie credits just did part time work or a short project and they weren’t exclusive with this particular project Like when you list the accountants, is it that those accountants were

People start using cliched buzzwords because they hear other busniess-y people using them and they want to talk to those business-y people in their own vernacular. But I think, deep down, almost everybody using these buzzwords hates the b

i think this depends on what the alternative career/job would be compared to grad school. if you had the option of getting into a well-payed, cushy tech job grad school would result in less personal/financial freedom. if (like m

One solution: Let employees earn the ability to take a low-pay sabbatical once they get an itch to leave and/or burnout. Companies make extended absences work for parental leave, so just do that for more people more often

I’ve often wondered: what do vintage computer users actually do with their vintage computers? The old ones won’t have internet capabilities and were mostly for business settings, so do you just fire up Lotus123 and click around in a sprea

part of this has to do with the fact that our intuitive sense of effect sizes don't really use proportions and we subconsciously start including sample sizes. If a state had an election with millions of voters and got a 55-45 result, i

Minor nit about their car postings: Old dudes need to learn that this isn’t a newspaper classified that limits characters. Don’t write “Pw/pl”, just write out power windows, power locks. Actually DESCRIBE things, don’t just give a phon

We got home internet for the first time around then, and its main use (to me) was going to downloads.com and getting screensavers. I spent hours downloading one that was macaroni doing the Macarena.

Overlaid histos can be confusing because people don’t know if they are stacked or overlapped. One solution is to smooth into a kde and then use transparency to indicate overlap, but that’s introducing more complexity than you want for a qui

Until this comment I never realized that there was a second interpretation of “my corner”. I always thought of it like the corner in a room/cube vertex But this suggests it could be like “street corner” which makes a lot more sense

When I hear someone talk about their “corner” of the internet, I always think about what that means geometrically or topologically. Is the internet a shape made up of ALL corners?
