Anthology shows might be a decent balance between the two. At least personally an existing show has to be getting really good reviews for me to care enough to catch up on previous seasons, but if it's possible to jump…
I'm usually pretty neurotic about getting enough sleep, but if I just won the Nobel Prize I certainly would want to be woken. That's gotta be the moment of a lifetime.
To be fair on the numbers front, there is a lot of evidence suggesting the true death rate for infected individuals is under 1% - so with 1 million dead I don't think it's unreasonable to guess at least 100 million have…
Doesn't this still depend on what specifically "math" is referring to? Sure there is some underlying concept, but when people use the word math I think they are largely referring to the language that has been/continues…
I've seen plenty of cleaning-averse husbands hire a maid to solve chore-related relationship problems. Hell, the maid does a better job, so everyone is happier. This is not really an option for a mismatched libido, so…
I dunno, I like the title, it has a nice ring to it. But that also might be because the "trash" part reminds me more of Toy Story 4 than anything negative.
Their support page does imply if you want to avoid cloud sync you should keep it offline, but perhaps that is just because it is the most brief/user friendly way to describe the situation. There definitely isn't an…
I think narrow biases and unpublished results happen to some extent anyway with the politics/beauracracy that arises from having a small subset of established scientists vote on which science gets funding. I don't…
I love mine, it is a great motivator for doing more reading in addition to helping keep my notes organized. Especially for reading academic papers, it is great to be able to easily annotate and then actually keep my…
Not if the temperature has an effect on the intervention you are trying to study. Taken to an extreme, you obviously cannot house mice in a freezer and expect generalizable results.
I don't know how the numbers work out but I imagine there are enough people using property as an investment that the above could be implemented with an exception for 1 single family home per tax household, and still…
I think it would be hilarious to get a company email that uses only the subject line. I miss getting "announcement EOM" emails (EOM indicating the end of the subject is actually the end of the message).
Interesting, thanks for the info! I think the statement could still apply even with videos available, but of course it is also in MIT's best interest to say this. Honestly I really like the idea of using OCW materials…
When was this? Not doubting you but by the time I came across OCW in 2012 there were quite a few courses with video lectures, at least you could cover the standard frosh year curriculum with videos and much of the year…
I mean a lot of biology papers are loose on protocol details to be honest, dunno about Chemistry but for Bio it can often be difficult to exactly replicate a method because of lack of details alone. That said I think…
I agree it doesn't make sense for the purpose of convincing anti-vaxxers. But I do think sometimes valuable research topics end up getting thrown out "with the bathwater" so to speak when the general public gets too…
I've never heard the exhausting activities warning, but I do get mild flu-like symptoms for a few days (low grade fever, some fatigue, congestion) after the flu shot most years. I don't know how common it is to…
FWIW there was some backlash at the time: https://www.wsj.com/articles/furor-erupts-over-facebook-expe...
Yes if I'm remembering correctly this study was published by Facebook data science after some psych lab published a study that went semi-viral suggesting people were more unhappy when their network made mostly happy…
Interesting, thanks for letting me know! It does seem there is more variance in the courses than I realized. Might be related to whether courses are part of a MicroMasters or not. I didn't realize either that some…
It is a fact that edX courses are developed separately and with a different target audience in mind. The material is demonstrably different. They are a nice resource, but they are not an argument that Harvard classes…
edX. But also they really are not the same courses, at least the MIT courses on edX are not the same as "real" MIT courses (or what they put on OCW). Video lectures are separately planned/recorded to be shorter duration…
You'd be surprised how many young adults are not aware of basic things like if your sink does not have a garbage disposal you should not dump large chunks of food down the drain, or that you should replace your dish…
Plenty of schools have a higher endowment than Amherst. Stanford has a notably bigger endowment than MIT. In any case, I was not agreeing with GP, I just think "lower ranked schools" is a bit of a strong statement as…
But at most of these schools (<10 in the US are exceptions) ability to pay can still affect who they choose to admit in the first place internationally. Whereas >100 schools practice need blind admissions for domestic…
