I think direct care models, in all but name, are probably coming. I might be wrong, but the way federal governance in the US is headed it seems increasingly rather than decreasingly likely. In our region there are…
Reasonable point, but I'd argue that the purchasers of dedicated cameras are already not the general market, who will just be using their phone camera anyway. For purchasers of these cameras, I think the cameramakers…
Bingo. The fact this is one of the two most popular TED talks says volumes about TED, and how to interpret TED vis-a-vis the broader scientific community.
I started reading the essay not knowing what to think, and it turned out to be more relevant to my work than I thought. The issues being discussed in the essay have been a central issue in some area of psychology and…
Whole fields have been devoted to defining science; I don't think experiment is necessary to the scientific endeavor. Experiments in many fields, for example, often suffer from problems related to generalizability or…
This was one of my first thoughts--these are extremely, extremely low base-rate events with not much measurement power. People mess with the surveys, or simply fail to understand the questions, or make mistakes in…
... but later the whole line of inquiry and interview of him was ruled in court to be immaterial to the case. So there's some disagreement with the perspective you're outlining.
So, I'll try to respond as someone who voted in support of Johnson, and can get the appeal of Trump as well as the Clinton, as well as visceral hatred of either. I get that huge swaths of the electorate feel like this…
Yeah, all these arguments against non-GMO products, painting non-GMO proponents as antiscientific, seem to me to be strawman arguments that ironically miss the point. It's a thinly veiled means of asserting intellectual…
A major downside of Stan is its lack of support for discrete priors. This isn't really advertised very well, but is more of a problem than it might sound initially. Its type handling also can get a little frustrating at…
... and/or deregulation (reregulation?) to open up competition. Often if not usually, the same task could be just as skillfully by done, or even more skillfully or appropriately done, by someone with a different…
As someone in this field somewhat close to the article in a certain sense, I wouldn't say Susan Fiske's attitudes are typical of psychology. Maybe not rare, but not typical either. Her comments have been very…
Then you have to summarize those replications and decide whether or not the replication studies replicated findings... which means meta-analysis.
This could either be brilliant or a total nightmare: "Support for arrays with indexing starting at values different from 1. The array types are expected to be defined in packages, but now Julia provides an API for…
I agree with your general sentiment, but think those error rates hide a lot as well. Human error might be at x% overall, but when you eliminate malfunctioning humans, broadly defined, it's probably much lower than x%.…
The article frames the question as a sort of strawman in some ways. Rather than ask "is running good or bad for you?" you could ask "is an alternative form of exercise, that has fewer damaging side effects, better?" For…
The problem is that it is not actually a free market. The government grants monopolies to prescribers, restricting access that way, and to drug manufacturers, through the FDA, directly or indirectly (it's crazy to me…
I don't know if I entirely agree with the "fall on your sword" argument. Sometimes it applies, but not always. There's definitely a grey area. At some point, the leverage becomes coercive, and to deny that allows force…
It does matter if you're aware of the cost:benefit ratio involved in adopting it relative to the existing tech, or even more commonly, the cost:benefit ratio involved in adopting it relative to adapting or modifying…
I sort of agree with you, but the laws overstep what I consider acceptable. I'm fine with an operation banning employees from filming, for example, and employees getting fired for doing so, or for arresting people for…
People also underestimate the market for baby name resources. It's true in the US as well, something I didn't realize until I had my own child. Add to that additional uncertainty about a different culture and language,…
Depending on how you define it, you could say my research is in this general area. My sense of how to interpret these sorts of findings has changed greatly over time, and become much more moderate and humble.…
Without meaning to sound antagonistic, you're framing the question in the wrong way. Research suggests depression is more like blood pressure, varying continuously in the population. There really isn't a clear line…
How do you know an intelligence service didn't create this system, and turn it loose only to be watching and listening the whole time?
This paper is interesting to read, but confusing in my opinion and sort of misled. I'm not sure what point the author seems to be making about the DSM. They seem to be stating something along the lines of "The DSM isn't…
