That to me, is the key boundary being crossed, like enough to merit a large-class action award for any damages sustained anywhere by anyone who plugged a USB-C device into the port. I do think there's something to be said for liability

I'm not sure exactly what the right analogy is, but although VC is apt in some ways, it's not really appropriate in many other ways. With research the goal is accomplishing some project. That is the goal. It's not to become a

I agree with Moldoveanu that the incentive structure at many open access journals is backwards (even though I empathize with the intent of the journals). But at the same time I don't think this has anything to do with this particular c

This is late, but I think this whole thread is interesting and no one has really answered your question. I'm a former tenured professor at a major research university who left my position, in part because I came to hate my department (

Those progressive movements are critical to emphasize, underlying the renaissance of the current era, but they also came with violent upheaval. In many ways, the world wars were one long conflict over those movements and their competitors,

Our HS also covered things in the way you mention (German submarine warfare and espionage and the Zimmerman telegram), for what it's worth. The reasons for entry into WWII were presented as more complex, having to do with differences o

I'm not sure how much my cynicism is just me or my immediate experiences over the years, but I don't really trust the academic system anymore in terms of credit or even as much in terms of validity. Or rather I do, but in some abs

Speaking as a former tenured professor, I can say this is no longer very accurate. What would be more accurate is that your customers are grant review panels, and your income is indirect funds on grants (at least in the US, and increasingly

I definitely think things like the infrastructure don't get enough credit. I also mean no criticism of numpy. But is Numpy per se conceptually that innovative, from a computer science perspective? I guess to me this just seemed unusu

The problem is now the superstardom narrative has grown in importance in academics, regardless of validity. It's not just something we project into the past anymore, it's something that is needed to project into the future, to sur

In psychology (and many other fields as well) the variables are very fuzzy which complicates things as well. It's not just a correlation-vs-causation/causation-from-correlations issue, it's also often an issue of even knowing

For some reason this struck me as inappropriate for the outlet. It's a nice piece as an introduction to array programming with numpy, but seemed out of place to me.

I've been wondering this since the beginning, as a parent of a relatively small child in preschool. I've had one prediction all along, which is that parents of small children would probably also have lower rates of symptomatic dis

It's kind of a false dilemma? Old persons who don't change versus young ones who do? Could be ageist, not to mention neglecting the real issue of experience. I agree with the "room for new people" conundrum but you could

Social scientists turn the microscope on themselves also. When the microscope turns elsewhere you see similar patterns to differing extents (cf. recent articles on reanalysis of fMRI data, pharmacology replication rates, Theranos or hydroxy

I'm not sure that psychologists really even make the distinction between "what is socially learned" and what is "inherent to humans" to be honest. I want to say no one really denies traits are influenced by social f

I think part of it for me is this underlying anger. Despite these kinds of discussions, there's some sort of continued societal denial about many of the issues that are floating in the background. Many of the things that are bubbling u

You can see the lower image resolution in the JAMA Neurology paper. It's not too shabby though, especially if you've looked at older MRI images enough. I think part of their argument, at least implicitly, is that a lot of things d

+ MCMC can be set up in a very model-agnostic way. Analytic methods are really useful when they can be done, but often have to be worked out for each specific model.
