Without having read the study, but going on experience reading other studies of this general type, that’s a common pattern with CIs derived from predictors in logistic regression-like models (which are often used for this kind of analysis)-

This is something that varies widely by funding agency- you are correct that NIH grant budget limits are exclusive of indirects, but for the NSF the opposite is true. Different funders handle that differently, and additionally some funders

There was a great paper at CHIIR looking at this question from an information science perspective that I would definitely recommend anybody working or interested in this space read; here's the abstract: > Search systems, like many o

This is something of a CS-specific problem, and is in part a side effect of the field's tradition of digital-first author-prepared publication. In basically any other academic field, any paper that is being passed around or linked to w

Thank you SO much for posting this- I have been missing that feature very badly, and had _no_ idea that it was still there in any form. Having it back makes using Music.app about a thousand times more tolerable!

To add to the great recommendations on this thread, I really like Moritz Hardt and Benjamin Recht's "Patterns, Predictions, and Actions". It's published by Princeton University Press here: https://press.prince

So, the issue is more subtle than that - if it was just a matter of including demographic data, there wouldn't be an issue. The problem is that the "B" column is _not_ measuring how integrated the neighborhood is- it is a tra

This is thankfully beginning to change, though far more slowly than many of us would like to see. There is much more talk about "research software engineering" happening in a lot of fields, and some funding agencies are beginning

This is exactly the sort of nightmare scenario that (in the US, anyway) a durable power of attorney document is supposed to help with!

Check out the National Library of Medicine’s MedlinePlus resource for an equivalent to the NHS’s consumer-oriented health info portal: https://medlineplus.gov/ It’s a fabulous and under-utilized resource!

Probably very little if it is built on top of CoreAnimation, since that set of OS APIs is extremely heavily optimized specifically to enable animation-rich UIs that are light in terms of CPU and battery use.

That NLRB page does say that "supervisors who have been discriminated against for refusing to violate the NLRA may be covered", so I wonder if that might apply in this case? I suppose there's no way to tell from the outside,

Agreed, from another NIH-funded researcher. I was impressed with the thoroughness and balanced perspective in this whitepaper.

In addition to the great books listed here, a few more that might be of interest: - Turing’s Cathedral, by George Dyson - Black Software, by Charlton McIlwain - Programmed Inequality, by Mar Hicks The Dyson book is a rigorous and deep histo

True! But in STEM fields the money to pay for PhD students (tuition, stipends, fees, insurance, etc.) almost always ultimately comes from the Federal government in one form or another. Typically, it'll be paid for out of one of their a

For better or worse, the relevant authorities in the US already have very well-established processes for figuring out what kinds of institutions (and even what specific graduate programs) "count" for different kinds of student vis

I have zero disagreement with you, there- I would personally much rather see a dramatically-expanded bus service than another light rail expansion, or at the very least increased service on the existing lines. In its current state, you are

As context for non-Portlanders, the "revolt" against additional freeways was one part of a larger effort to manage urban growth so as to avoid endless sprawl and preserve the agricultural landscape surrounding the metro area. One

The best thing about the NLM's work in this space is how deeply it has been informed by the needs and workflows of the biomedical researchers, which is a perspective that has been sorely lacking in work coming from outsiders. I did thi

Exactly! Scientific papers are not meant to stand on their own -- they are pieces of a much larger jigsaw puzzle. In order to make heads or tails out of a paper, one really needs to have a sense of where the paper fits into its larger pictu

Take a look at the code for Objective-See’s “OverSight” utility; it is a good example of how to detect AV events system-wide. It’s also a really great app… https://objective-see.com/products/oversight.html

The reason for that "hyper focus" is due to the "structural and sociological pathologies" that the grandparent posted about. Change the funding model and the rest will follow.

Ding-ding-ding! This is indeed the root cause of much of the pressure that drives academic researchers to publish All Of The Things. Funding agencies care very, very, very much that you have a published track record of having done something

Funny thing about that quote- it's taken from a longer speech that Reagan gave, in which he talked about how his government had "committed record amounts" of agricultural assistance: > I think you all know that I've

Just to chime in as somebody who's taught data viz for years: I didn't hear anything in your story for you to be embarrassed about! Accidentally re-inventing the box plot just means that you're thinking at the same level as
