The point being made isn't that large effects are impossible, or that high-d results should be dismissed outright. Rather, it's that for sufficiently large d, subtlety becomes impossible. Results will either be overwhelmingly obvious to any observer, or false. It's worth giving that list of sample effects in the article another look. In particular, the studies showing that juries usually make decisions matching what the majority of jurors started out believing is d=1.62. This study claimed that hunger was having a bigger effect on trial outcomes than whether people believed the charges were true. It was still worth looking for the confounding effect, certainly, but when people start making claims that disproportionate to comparable claims, simply refusing to accept a causative claim is an entirely reasonable decision.

The effects of penicillin are overwhelmingly obvious: for some set of diseases, penicillin produces rapid and complete recovery even in otherwise-terminal patients. I don't know the d for "penicillin treats staph", but in pharmacology d=5 isn't considered unreasonable for precisely these reasons.

The average d in psychology, though, is around 0.4 - and that was before many of the 'strongest' results fell apart in recent years. This study's effect size wasn't inherently insane, but it was claiming confidence in the realm of "antibiotics kill bacteria" for a subtle and previously unobserved force on judge's decisionmaking. It absolutely should have raised questions like "if this effect holds, why aren't trial lawyers acutely aware of it and working to manipulate it?"

Not OP, but I've seen suggestions that it should replace aid[0] if mild conditions are attached to the cash grant. There is, of course, the recent re-analysis of Mincome, Manitoba's well known Basic Income trial[1] that found numerous unintended, positive consequences like fewer hospital visits.

I think the selection of studies was somewhat myopic, and I thought his reasoning was flawed, so I'd change that.

We use paper ballots here and somehow managed to make them accessible without necessarily using machines. https://www.elections.on.ca/en/voting-in-ontario/accessible-...

Paper plus optical scan is probably the best thing going: Quick tallies, on-the-spot verification, complete paper trail.

Sure, you can hack the optical scan machines, but if you do, a double-check of paper ballots will quickly show the problem.
Not sure what Prime is but I suspect everything you can do requires a purchase anyway? If so that could, perhaps, be reasonable.

Wouldn't ever sign up for any of the others though.

And when a free trial requires a cc that kind of implies that you have to read the fine print very carefully and actively cancel before you get "upgraded".

Doesn't exactly inspire trustworthiness, I'd research competitors closely before considering a company that does that.
Not "this must be impossible, let's ignore it," but "this must be impossible, what did we do wrong?"

If you price farmers out of the water market, they will produce less food. Can you imagine what happens when we start having large scale food shortages?
Bingo. Money does not magically render a person impervious to the same insecurities, emotional reactivity, and other failings as ordinary people. It doesn't magically make someone more rational, more secure, less depressed, less fearful, or anything else. Rich people are just big bipedal monkeys with large integers in certain columns of a SQL table.

Our first product is a real-time risk analysis and insurance application for the drone industry. We launched a pay-as-you-fly drone insurance app: our policies are purchased in real-time, priced by the minute. Our platform uses real-time data (weather, building types, population densities within your drone flight radius) to quantify, price, and sell risk on the fly. We’ve grown: fast. 2 years old, currently a team of 13, and we have 25% of the UK market on our platform We are actively seeking to disrupt the wider insurance industry by bringing our best in class real time geospatial data based risk analysis algorithms to the wider industry.

STACK

Our stack is a React Native application, sitting atop a set of NodeJS servers, rigorously typed with Flow, and Postgres databases. We apply rigorous Type safety constraints and data validations. We do not shy away from unorthodox decisions, such as discarding snapshot tests for React testing, not using an ORM, rigidly enforcing type constraints, running a ReasonML service in production, and utilizing Postgres Check constraints, when they help us achieve our goals.

iOS 12 was a painful upgrade for me but the 4th erasure of the phone seems to have worked.
What this means is that I am now confident that I don’t lose anything when I erase.
So if you have good backups, just erase before the border and walk though with a fresh phone, possibly with some dummy data in there.

Many of these risky behaviors are likely to take place at night. Students who are out partying and drinking are likely to be doing this at night, which will cut down into their sleep time.

The implication of this study is that the lack of sleep is causing the risky behaviors. However, saying that risky behavior caused less sleep could also be as reasonable an implication.
