  • See, replication isn't a problem if your entire field is vibes-based. A lot of economics papers I come across are like that (so much so that I am close to writing off the entire decipline as unscientific). The diff in the level of rigour you would see in e.g. particle physics versus in economics is baffling.

    It used to be psychology as well but I am noticing they are more than aware of their replication crisis lately. Whereas economics feels pseudoscience with a maths clothing.

  • No it does not mean that.

  • Been using Kagi for about almost a year now. It is a paid search engine. Which might sound weird but if you are doing research or any job that relies on access to information, I'd say it's worth the investment.

  • Laughing at Trump has gotten old for me. He has bottomed out the level of idiocy so much that it's just not funny anymore, almost like real-life flanderisation. If anything, it brings me sadness thinking how half of america is somehow more stupid than this guy.

    If this community is going to be just a list of stupid shit Trump is going to say until the elections, I am not sure if I want it in my face every day, especially as a non-american. It must be possible for me to block posts based on words

    Edit: At least on Eternity there is such a filter! I shall see nothing about this arsehole anymore

  • I wouldn't jump to conclusions on who did this, could be false flag

  • Steve Jobs was no different from the rest in Silicon Valley who would spout virtues out loud while simultaneously undermining them in practice.

  • I stay. Forever.

  • For those curious, this was called a "casette tape"

  • I think the downvotes you are getting are from people who have only heard "Libertarian" in american context.

    American libertarians are conservative/capitalists

    In Classical definition/for the rest of the world, Libertarians are closer to Anarchists

  • It has happened to me a few times, and one of them I can share.

    When I was negotiating for a new job, it was all email, until I asked whether it'll always be work from home (this was during the pandemic). Instead of an email reply, I get a call and the HR tells me it should be work from home always.

    Fast forward, the pandemic is "over" and people are now being called over to work. My contract is worded ambiguously enough for the company to defend this "order". I realise if the earlier conversation was an email, I would have a case for myself that I never agreed to this (not that I would go the judicial route, but still).

  • Tankies are state capitalists.

    I don't know about the semantics anymore, so it's upto you if you want to say they are 'left', but anarchist spaces are the best of the bunch.

  • Maybe I'm just jaded and cynical but it won't "destroy the company" even if it comes out like that. The laws don't apply to people at the top

  • The emphasis on temprature alone is inadequate (and possibly dangerous), what one should be really looking at is the Heat Index, which accounts the humidity of the air as well. (These are the "feels like" values in your apps and such)

  • How come there is blood before the sword impacts stuart little's body? Boy i really hope somebody got fired for this blunder

  • Microsoft is magnitudes worse than google.

  • Oh no not the gross domestic product!!

    Ironically one of the ways to fight climate crisis would be degrowth, which involves not caring about such things as the GDP

  • Ok so

  • Yeah. "Apolotical" bull fucking shit. If you look at 99% of eurovision songs, you'll see that's what they want - art without voice, a sort of generic smoothover that's is too afraid to even hint at a belief
