I don’t necessarily disagree with you. But it’s absolutely essential to say: the p-value crisis is in all manner of “hard” sciences too. Behavioral genetics, ecology, oncology, medical imaging, even cosmology - it’s a much bigger problem than people who ascribe it to the social sciences let on.

Always hard to find really warm outerwear that doesn’t look like a 90s-era Xmen costume.

I just keep thinking about guys like Colin Kaepernick and Nick Foles, both of whom earned massive plaudits for great play in a limited sample size, and then ended up getting benched. QBs often look great when they’re new to the league and defensive coordinators haven’t gotten the chance to scheme against them. Once…

Oh really? Thanks, I assumed there was no hope without the script extender.

How about patching the horrid default UI?

I can already feel people hungering for the dumb take on this that they will then amplify through getting outraged about it.

But would you take him over Karl-Anthony Towns?

They’ll be awesome, obviously. But they really did hurt their depth and have no rim protection and that’s a big deal.

The Warriors will be awesome, obviously. But they really did hurt their depth and rim protection and that side of the story is not getting enough attention.

One common mistake people make: overestimating the sample size you need to make generalizable conclusions with a given margin of error. It’s remarkable how often I see people say that sample sizes in the thousands are too small. Depending on the variance of your data and the size of the observed effect, a truly random…

Congratulations on helping to severely undercut the stock of affordable housing in a country currently undergoing a housing crisis for the working and middle class. And thanks for assisting her Lifehacker.

Sure they are. And I would never use the term myself. But this is the whle point: the options aren’t GamerGate or Matt McGorry. The options aren’t either being vile racists or actively soliciting gold stars for your virtuousness.

I agree. I’m just saying this “cram Trump into every political narrative” tic risks leaving us underestimating the extent of our problems.

We have a dragon slaying problem in American politics: our system is set up to convince us that the work stops after an election, which sucks attention and energy away from solving practical problems once the election is over. Everybody is so exhausted by that point, it’s hard to summon the will to create change.

I think part of the problem is that performative outrage like this makes people cynical about the broader campaign to make the world a more just and equitable place.

a powerful man is allowed to run for the highest public office on the ideals of the enemies you face in this game

Data - you are the bird....

I really hate to say this, but as someone who has played this series incessantly since the very first one, I just don’t enjoy it very much anymore. All the fun is packed into the first 150 turns; there’s too much grinding from guiding city production and workers (which you can automate, but too poorly to be worth…
