Huh. Weird that from that result the focus of the conversation is on cannabis.

Loudness is also distance dependent, as in, not just how far away the sound source literally is, but how far away you think it is.

If you read again carefully, that is not what I said.

This runs exactly counter to the site reliability engineering guide that the Google folks put together. Grungy toil work is bad for the worker and bad for the organization.

I'm a psychoacoustician and this is not the way, very sorry to report. Others have touched on the acoustic issues already, so let me touch on the psychological ones: your perception of sound from loudspeakers doesn't just depend o

Ah sorry. I guess I don't understand what you are looking for.

The psychological and political incentives for people to manipulate an unverifiable public database are obvious. Antivaxxers are a well known group of troublemakers.

Not sure off the top of my head but it's possible that crossref DOI lookup has an API you can use for this. https://openapc.github.io/general/openapc/2018/01/29/doi-rev...

Anyone can go on vaers and lie. You aren't proving the point you think you are. https://hillreporter.com/dont-be-fooled-antivaxxers-misrepre...

I'm a behavioral scientist and I find both are useful. If you never look at a histogram it's surprisingly easy to fool yourself about what exactly the ecdf is telling you in certain situations, particularly when comparing distribu

And to those who do know, it immediately discredits you in front of them.

The actual silent majority was a violent, reactionary, prowar group led by Nixon. They were not anti war, and they were not silent. The comparison the author made is an incredibly bad analogy, at least to anyone who actually understands rea

There's nothing quite like an author getting basic history completely wrong at the very beginning. Really builds confidence.

I am not shocked that the journalist found an ex-DoD official with poor reading comprehension of technical language. Why does that shock you? And why do you share his incorrect read of the language?

I thought this was a pregnancy joke and I'm still not sure it isn't??

No, it does not imply that at all.

>What kind of options are you testing for user controls? Is the core of the tech just frequency boosts or is there fancy stuff in there as well, feedback loops or trying to interpret the sound somehow? I used EarMachine [ https:/&#

Uh... well... If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them.

Older adults of today can be quite tech savvy! In both my research and research from similar labs, the actual programming of a self-fitting hearing aid is completed with a high success rate ( >90% ).

Yes, in fact, there have been scientists investigating the most efficacious algorithms for self-selection of hearing aid amplification since the mid '80s that continues up to today. The modern versions of it are self-adjustment tools l

Oh hey, I'm an auditory scientist who studies hearing loss, hearing aids, and self-fitting and other "alternative-fit" audio devices. I'm going to copy a bit from my latest paper that touches on this (TL;DR at the bottom

This is just a different imagining of the role of editor. Everyone who writes well has an editor. People really will invent reasons to be mad.

Hmm interesting. Personally I'm willing to constructively critique the flaws of my communication style if other people are giving me feedback that I come across as an asshole or Nazi.

Yes, so very well put! The loss of context / transformation of context that Twitter and Facebook imposes is key to how it has been used, to fuel genocides and foment political turmoil as well as to cross-pollinate across previous cultu

I am grateful for the protection provided by IRBs and I understand exactly what kind of horrors they protect people from. They are an overwhelming positive force for good for science and society.
