I saw a chart once that made the point that most research studies can be classified along two axes: rigorousness of methods and popularity of results. Most published papers have either high rigor/low popularity and low rigor/high popularity. The trade-off is in the fact that highly rigorous studies only allow for narrow, unexciting results, while popular studies with flashy results will have to compromise on their rigorousness. This is not really a rule, but it is an interesting way to see research and the editorial/peer-review process.

The example discussed in OP seems to fall in the category of low rigor/high popularity. I am not 100% on my history of psych research, but it seems to me that the stereotype threat was all the rage in the late 90s following the publication of Steele and Aronson (1995). OP study seems to follow a similar experimental setup as S&A with a new group of people (Asian-American women).

As far as meta-science is concerned, I think that it remains mostly a part of philosophy (as in epistemology) and the focus of a few (senior?) scholars in each field. There is really no space to publish meta-scientific papers that "shake up" the field and call out established researchers, as editors that publish those pieces could come under similar criticism for their work. I think that it is not an accident that the discussion of the replication crisis in psychology started from blog posts and other non-academic avenues and then found its way to more "established" publications in the field (again, if I remember the context of those conversations).

I really wish that the review process was open. It would be interesting to see the reviewers comments to this specific paper and how the editor decided to pick up and engage with them. All those conversations are usually locked up in some editorial management system and are seldom made public. I don't know if we can really have open science without having open peer reviews.

I have never had this illusion, but I think my wife has had that idea (for me, not for her), and I had to disabuse her of that notion :) We're not in a terribly HCOL area to begin with, nor in a major tech hub, so... traditional w2 9-5 jobs, even in tech, are, for most senior folks I know, topping out in the mid $100s. If you want to count 401k/insurance/etc in total comp, you're still generally going to be under $200k (probably even fully loaded cost). Not so say there aren't any higher paying jobs, but they're relatively limited, and are going to have higher competition, etc.
No, my point is that this analogy conveys something other than what the author intended to convey.

That is true. HR is told to filter outside of their wheelhouse. This explains A+ certifications and bullshit resumes.

And then, as OP requested, "compare that to the track record of the organizations compared to" and try think of a time the NY Times, Guardian, ProPublica or even Buzzfeed published a hoax but decided it was worth publishing so long as they put a disclaimer on it saying "this probably isn't real."
Okay, forget this immortality thing, back to the original teletransporter. You step into a machine, it scans you at the subatomic level, and disassembles you into your atoms. Some distance away a second machine receives your scan and assembles some atoms accordingly. Alternatively your atoms also get shipped to the second machine and are put back into place there. Is the person coming out of the second machine you? If not, why?

Some things to consider. You usually do not care about the exact atoms your body is made of, they get exchanged constantly. Even more dramatic changes like losing limbs, getting organs transplanted, or even replacing your heart with an artificial one do not change your identity. They will most likely affect your personality but they will not make you a fundamentally different person.

Your consciousness is not uninterrupted, you lose it every time you fall asleep. You can even fall unconscious, get transported by an ambulance to a different place, get pieces of your body replaced, and wake up some time later in a hospital bed. You will most likely agree that you are still the same person. Sure, the teletransporter is more extrem in essentially every regard, but where is it fundamentally different so that the person stepping out of it is not the same person that stepped into it at the other end?
When I view a Gemini document in a Gemini browser, I have inherent assurance that:

- I'm looking at something I just downloaded from the URL I entered or navigated to. If I'm really paranoid I can open it up in a text editor and not have to wade through tag soup and potiential Javascript obfuscation.

- Nothing is hiding from me anywhere, anything that was retrieved from the server is in the current document view.

- No scripting has modified the document.

- No scripting is listening to input device events and sending those to a server.

- If I tell my client to render stuff in a certain way, such as font preference, font size, how to deal with links, the Gemini document won't break.

- If the Gemini document is a big list or index of a bunch of things I want, such as pictures or other media, I can parse those links ridiculously easily with standard UNIX tools and download them when I want with a multitude of download managers. Trying to parse things like Twitter's direct image or video links is hard.

So if you want those things, Gemini is worth a learning curve, which isn't hard (download a client and start browsing).

A tomahawk with a 1000 lbs warhead weighs 2900 lbs (or 3500 lbs with a booster)[1]. It's a long range missile so, it is probably possible to achieve a better ratio for something shorter range but I have doubts regarding quadcopters like the ones discussed in the article being able to do so by virtue of how fixed wing craft (which the tomahawk is IMHO).

That style of policing was popular before Gladwell. It was Giuliani who really doubled down on it in NYC as the exemplar.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_windows_theory

It is also known as stop and frisk. This type of policing has also been adopted to traffic stops as well and arguably has lead to warrior cop policing.

Gladwell discusses the implications of this in Talking to Strangers.

So if you want a perspective on guns, gun violence, policing from the 1970s until today, I recommend it.

I would agree with optical effect if we were only talking about the matching aspect, but doing so ignore the rest of the incident.
no no no, I meant that I prefer using Bash everywhere, including my own machine, because anyway I'll need to end up translating most stuff I write to a Bash or even POSIX compatible script so... as someone said in other comment, why not cut the intermediary step. It makes it easier for me, the less context switches the better production code I'll produce.

But of course, I believe others should be free to make their own choices! As long as their choices don't end up affecting the quality of the code that ends up shared with the rest of the team...

Which brings an interesting point: I don't have a problem at all with you using whatever shell you want. But I do have a problem if because you don't use Bash in your day to day, you are less used to its ins and outs, you don't put in the extra work that is being as proficient with Bash than you are with your personal shell, and your scripts end up with bugs in how Bash arrays are treated (just a quickly made up example)
Gladwell did describe the horrific nature of the firestorms in detail. I don't know why this review acts like he didn't.

Honestly, with the amount of ads we see, i really want the shit to hit the fan, and have someone hack the huge ad providers.

I'm talking about literally dumping their whole databases, with all the private data, from "John Smith, interested in bibles and butt plugs", "jane doe, cookbooks and 20inch dildos", "bobby bobberson, marriage help books and a gold necklace" (that his wife didn't get)... Only then will some people get aware that having ad providers stockpile all that personal data is bad, and blindly clicking "i accept the terms and conditions" should be something regulated and not just uninformed consent.

With speakers it's even simpler.. just hack them to play some heavy metal at 3am, and you're done.

What I said. He pushed the Seth Rich conspiracy even when we knew he was talking to Roger Stone and Guccifer 2.0. He knew better than anyone that Russia was behind the hack and that pro-Trump operators were in the loop. Instead he pushed a baseless far-right conspiracy theory. An actual journalist, even an agenda-driven muckraker, would never be so brazen as to make such wild accusations to protect their own butt.

I guess, I like Gladwell for the same reasons you dislike him. He's popular and picked apart. I can read his books and be convinced, then find out about all of the ways he's wrong. Where did I screw up? What did I fall for?

Blink was probably the one that had the biggest impact on me. There are some gems there. It lead me to other thinking about thinking ideas. I learned a bit about quality of sources.

>We tend to downplay things we do or build ourselves, as if the very fact that another person (a boss) tells us to do something makes it immediately more valuable than if we choose to do that something ourselves.

I disagree, if you built something that involved collaborating with others thats inherently more valuable than what you build on your own. The reason is simple -- external assessment is ALWAYS preferred to self assessment of skill.

It's the difference between you saying you're a good programmer and someone else saying you're a good programmer. That small bit of indirection is very important.
Teleport? Wormhole? Advanced tech that makes them pop up in our space? I doubt it. But not sure how else we have those things caught on military radars and pilot cameras that are not always explainable by optical phenomenon related to orbital objects or natural atmospheric phenomenon.
> We didn't survive as a species thanks to life guiding philosophy or in general thanks to a conscious thinking process in which we tried to predict the future.

Not sure I understand you correctly here. Choosing to build shelters from the inevitable elements, storing food for the winter months, building traps to capture animals that may walk by at some point, etc... seem like crucial, conscious, predictive behaviors that increased odds of survival. Are you talking about this type of predictive decision making, or something else?

A lot of people think of VPN as escaping Google mega-giga-tracking schemes. So growing their own would be doomed to fail.
The tic-tac ufo and the USS Nimitz incidents are eye witness accounts of pilots observing these crafts while them also being registered on the radar. It would be one hell of a coincidence for machinery and multiple humans to malfunction in the same way at the same time.

Most of these navy reports involve eye witness accounts of trained and credible pilots.

That is my question too. Tomahawk missiles have been fielded since early 80s, and are very much fire and forget autonomous weapons that can track targets based on sensor data (i.e. not reliant on GPS or other external guidance).

Maybe the small difference is that cruise missiles generally are not anti-personnel weapons; maybe the article is seeking a ban in the same sense that Ottawa treaty banned anti-personnel mines but allows anti-tank mines. But I think this is something that would need to be explicitly addressed instead of just spouting sky is falling rhetoric.
There's no evidence that Tether does redemptions for anyone.
The best analysis is by Cmd. Chad Underwood who actually filmed one of the videos and is a good expert on the radar and camera sensors used https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-6-lt-cmdr-chad... Also, Mick West’s so called “debunking” is poorly done and an insult to these pilots.

For me it is the slowness and bugs. I complained on occasion about Slack's responsiveness but Teams on my Mac is on another level of unresponsiveness. Also it doesn't seem to use the macOS APIs for notifications, Teams notifications show up even in Do Not Disturb mode. Tapping the notification is hit-or-miss as to whether or not it will actually load the relevant discussion.

Teams is also really bad at emoji support compared to Slack.

I've been using Teams for only a few months after having used Slack for years but in the time I've used it I've come to despise it.
This is dumb and childish on so many levels.

The reality of the situation we are in, the rise of Trump, the alt right, Le Pen, and others is this: for neoliberals, if the alternative to leftism is fascism, they will actually choose fascism.

As people all over the US (and the world) are becoming more receptive to traditionally leftist talking points - labor vs owners, corporate control of the media, poverty, the evils of globalism etc. - neoliberals have been investing good money in supporting the alt right, neo-fascist voices that blame these problems on immigrants and jewish conspiracy theories. Fascism is much safer for the rich than even social-democracy (not to mention the, to them, terrifying spectre of socialism).

I’m a bit confused as to why a “unit test” would ever be hitting a real, external API. I would call that an integration test, E2E test, etc. that probably shouldn’t be run frequently (as part of a normal build, for example).

This API sounds like garbage, don’t get me wrong; and because of that, mocking it’s behavior is going to be almost impossible.
fact-checking organisations like Snopes do that all the time.

I don't see anything wrong with journalists addressing a claim, investigating it and declaring in their opinions that it's probably not true. What, specifically, is wrong with that?

The fact that you posted the image without referencing the article that claims it's probably a hoax makes me think you were intentionally trying to mislead people.
It really becomes apparent when you attempt to build your own creation to the same standards of some of the sets geared to older builders.

Because Google is definitely the most trustworthy company when it comes to data governance and respecting user privacy. No chance they'd use it to put you into a FLoC-type thing, benefiting their own advertising business while shutting out competitors.

Corporate mass media isn't a monolith. Do you think ProPublica is publishing clickbait? Do you think The Guardian publishing the Snowden leaks was manufacturing consent. Do you think James Risen at the NY Times didn't do 1000X more work to uncover Stellar Wind than a guy who publishes leaks? Do you think Buzzfeed writes clickbait headlines? Wait, forget that last one.

Seriously, the notion that "media" does anything is preposterous. Even if you think they want to manufacture consent, it's pretty obvious there is nothing near consensus amongst themselves. Everyone who writes news can make mistakes or let bias slip in, but that's not a conspiracy.

On the flip side, Assange was always pretty upfront about how he did his work for his own agenda. Anything he ever published that actually helped people was purely coincidental.
I agree, Gladwell tells a great story and he’s absolutely entertaining to read. But I can’t quite wrap my head around how you began your comment by saying Gladwell doesn’t use rhetoric and end it by describing his writing as “stories dressed up as science (kinda)”. Is that not rhetoric?
While I generally agree with your stance on over-policing, a third of the comments under this article are off-topic. HN is unique in that the community somewhat agrees that discussion should be on-topic and has a lot less tolerance for single-line jokes or sarcasm.

> I think comments like yours harm not help the community by making people less comfortable sharing.

Maybe I am unique in that, but if your contribution to a thread on a deep learning paper is a joke about decepticons or electrical transformers, it's okay to be less comfortable about sharing.
For what is worth studies do end up with different amounts of people due to dropping out, people not matching criteria which are only checked later, indivisibility by number of groups etc.
That's true, and maybe this my fault, but early interviews with Assange and reporting on WikiLeaks gave me higher expectations for their objectivity.
