I agree. I do remember a study that people often think label their more popular friends as their "best" friends, but if you go ask THOSE friends, they label THEIR even more popular friends as their "BEST" friends. It&#x2

This feels like such a speculative non-article, trying to read really deep into a shallow interview.

Seems like a cool premise. Though I guess people building things always want to convince you they are worth-it (sort of a conflict-of-interest), would like to read an unbiased 7-day migration to this.

This is fascinating. So it looks to me like the proposals is that our brain has a map from 6 -> "multiples of 6" and 8 -> "multiples of 8" and it triggers both nodes, and that our brain then finds the MOST stimulat

I agree about the bullshit meter. 20 years ago it was people claiming they could hear the difference if they had a headphone cable with gold-plating. > it's just if there's no objective measure of how it's "nicer&quot

I'm sure there's a systematic solution to that. If that's the problem, maybe require a $10 submission fee on each writing (or enough to pay for a basic sanity on writing quality). You can even optionally refund it for cases o

I read that article, but this article cleverly circumvents the challenges that article raised. By not needing measure the microbiome the testing pains are avoided. And though mouse models aren't human, they are effectively blinded. Se

I often wonder what percent of the people who write these types of things have any actual talent for management objectively. It'd be interesting if there was some abstract study or game to actually measure it, just as a big social expe

Fascinating article. Slightly-off-topic: This article presents the hard science as exceedingly difficult. I kinda suspect part of that is scientists have this attitude of acting completely blind to the hundreds of millions of years of evolu

Maybe they are, I don't know what's taught in a CS major, but a shocking number of my coworkers don't seem to understand the basics of statistical sampling which makes me wonder if they even had 2 courses on it.

Anecdotally I'm having trouble finding certain small cars in stock (e.g. crown platinum) and suspect there is some self-interest in the dealership to explains this. I think car-buyers are often under an illusion that an suv is "mo

To me when I first came across this in college it was fascinating. I think any stem field should be taught about these statistical methods. The power of being able to put an objective answer on any personal claim (e.g. mint gives me a heada

I think the idea that managers are professional liars are something boards need tackle head-on if they want to see stock prices rise. Throughout my career I've seen a lot of managers willfully focus more on crafting a narrative of &quo

There are cases where people have doctored images in their research data, or completely fabricated data to meet a significance threshhold. There may be ambigious cases but there are non-ambiguous cases too.
