  So, these scientists were asked to evaluate a political question, “Is there a link between immigration and welfare support?” using a large survey dataset. Not like they were asked whether temperature data supported anthropogenic climate change. The 158 scientists were in 71 teams and did, collectively, of 1200 statistical tests.An overwhelming majority of all analyses found no link between immigration policies and support for welfare programs, regardless of investigator ideology. A handful of outlier models, where an effect could be found, show effects that correlated with the team’s politics, but it’s hard for me to look at the mountain of “no effect” conclusions and agree with the statement “politics predicted the results.” “Politics predicted the outliers,” OK.Actual study: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adz7173

  People per se are lazy (not derogatory) and will almost always use the path of least resistance, unless there’s something to gain. And most people don’t notice any negative influence on their lives from these data-grabbing platforms

  I love watching Windows users complain about it, and continue using it.

  There are a lot of people who don’t know that there are alternatives or are intimidated by them

  About the methodology of how to deafen a moth temporarily (though I haven’t found the paper in my five seconds of research)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plant-Animal Acoustic Interaction Discovery: Moths Hear Plant Distress Calls and Avoid Laying Eggs | Happy Eco News⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When moths were temporarily deafened, they no longer showed any preference, proving that hearing drives the response.

  I’m sorry what

  I mean that’s probably true for many applications and why you should use the simplest statistical model possible as not to introduce unnecessary errors or bias (in the classical sense, not the machine learning sense)

  That actually depends on the type of antioxidant. The body has certain innate antioxidants (e.g. enzymes like catalase) to deal with reactive oxygen species but antioxidants that you get through your diet are also very important in that system (like vitamin c and e to prevent oxidation of cell membranes for example). Also some phytochemicals (like polyphenols) can act as an antioxidant.
