I suppose to be fair to the field of economics, the replication issues were mainly with research in psychology (as I recall). On the other hand, does economics have less of a replication issue because it’s basically unreplicable?

Only most of the amounts were tiny, so all the effort for the re-calculation was still needed for everyone (basically either building a payroll engine from scratch, or paying someone else to use theirs). You're right, that for most cur

Have you tried it out, on an old phone for example? I've been trying it through the betas and I grew to hate it less than I expected. You might not, but it might be worth a try. Once again it's a shame that security updates and UI

That's what I hoped too. The way the letters moved just seemed strange to me, like they were moving too far. But I find it entirely likely that exactly what you described would look strange to me - I don't look at these comparison

Off topic, but prompted by your 911 comment. I had a couple of friends buy cars at the same time - one bought a new Subaru, and the other a used 997 Porsche 911. The 911 cost more, but not a large difference in price. In that part of the wo

I think you raise a good point, and I want to agree, but my knee-jerk feeling is that it's such a mess right now that it's just like a kid peeing in the ocean. Your point has convinced me to work on that. In the meantime, does any

In New Zealand, there is a long list of companies who need to reach out to a large number of current and former employees, and try to convince them to go to a website and enter sensitive information to receive some money (1). Where I'm

I can’t stop playing with the low light comparison between the iPhone 17 and the Pixel 10, showing the sandwich shop menu. Why do the letters in the Sandwiches signage at the top of the image move slightly between the different photos? Is i

This line very early on about iOS 26 made me worry about the quality of the article: "Pros: ... + iOS 26 visual makeover" This is a review of a new iPhone, so surely most people buying it will be upgrading from an iPhone. What per

Over a decade ago, I worked in a bank call centre, first as one of the people who would occasionally make those outbound calls and have those crazy conversations, and then later in their customer experience team. It was well known that thos

I wasn't expecting to see so many tall buildings. Even out at the edge, where it turns to farms, and even the farmhouses themselves, the buildings are mostly 3 or 4 stories! At least, if I'm correctly interpreting each horizontal

I don't know much about this area at all, but it seems like it would be neat to have a plastic that stood up well to heat and moisture, but you could leave it soaking in some petrol/diesel/oil liquid, and it would melt into t

I tend to agree. I didn't rush off to panic buy, but when I first heard about it happening, I did go to do a normal grocery run in case things later ran out. There was nothing on my list. Also, there was almost nothing on the shelves.

Whatever I read made me think it was some sort of standard. You know more about this than me, so now I think what I stated about unplugging and re-plugging is likely incorrect advice, one step above "turn the cable around" which I

by red369 1y ago
I was really excited when I learned that unplugging the cable, waiting some short period of time and plugging it back in, triggers a power-role swap. I've only tried it out on one occasion, and I'm not clear on the delay, or wheth

I agree with your feeling that those mini cliff-hangers break the immersion, especially when watching without ad-breaks, although I can mostly deal with it. I agree with some of the other replies though, that it is more prevalent in older s

I assume you mean it's not really worth watching if it's currently on broadcast TV? Surely there's a huge list of old broadcast TV network shows that are worth watching, and that still suffer from the ad-break problem to vari

Yup - I think that's fair. It is completely a value judgement. But without ill will, and not particularly heartfelt. Regarding your point about things that are actually work in disguise, I basically look at browsing web pages as produc

I feel the same way about paying more for a phone than for a computer, but is it rational? I'm not sure. Sure you get a smaller screen and a smaller battery, and the phone doesn't have a keyboard and a trackpad (assuming you were

I wonder why tethering traffic doesn't go through the VPN. I could be wrong, but I think it works the same way with iPhones. I might test that later, but this (old) SE question seems to confirm my memory: https://apple.stack

I agree with you, but I like the reminder that I probably shouldn't be using my phone for whatever I'm doing anyway. If I'm at home, I should make the small effort to get a tablet or a laptop. If I'm out, should I just s

I wonder if you separate plug-in hybrids and non-plug-in hybrids, whether you might gain a more positive opinion of some. With non-plug-in hybrids, you don't plug them in at night, and you're lugging a lot less battery around. In

Does it help that frozen mixed veggies (e.g. peas, corn and carrots) may as well count as one ingredient?
