Can't find the citation, but remember gwern mentioning a study in one of his posts on replication that found that unintuitive findings tend to be both less replicable and more cited than intuitive ones. Psychology is the field that is

Thanks for talking about this. I'm sure you've considered this already, but it'd be valuable to contact an anti-corruption charity like Transparency International about your experience. It'd probably be a drop in the oce

Similar tool is HNRSS: it's a wrapper for the Algolia API and allows to follow HN through best/new/etc. while filtering for queries, comments, and score. https://github.com/hnrss/hnrss/

Feedly has an API, I started writing a script a while ago to improve some RSS feeds, including HN (by making the number of comments and the URL appear in the body), but never finished it. If someone had the same idea, please don’t hesitate

Thanks for the heads up, I’ll be sure to check your app out! Your approach is also kind of similar to Joplin (joplinapp.org), another open source, privacy-focused, and cross-device app, but you have more features.

I‘d recommend Zettlr instead: open source, free, local (so you own your data), great active community. Obsidian is closed source, and I’d say its features do not justify choosing that over Zettlr (unlike something like Notion.so) https:&#x

What do people think of Marginal Revolution? I get quite a lot of value from the link roundups, but find that the original content (the non-roundup posts) are about praising their ability to make predictions and their own opinion pieces (“r

Yous should check out languagetools.io. Like LingQ, but with a much better UI, way cheaper and chill with non-premium users, and they fund a school in Africa as well.

Zettlr is an open-source alternative [0]. It’s surprisingly feature-rich for a one-person project. I’ve tried Obsidian, Roam Research, and others, but Zettlr is simply a much more complete piece of software. In addition, the developer’s pe

This is an interesting hypothesis about capitalism (also seems to go against “capitalist realism” theory). Can you give a few examples of what the areas that capitalism cannot get curious about are? What would be the common characteristics?

Your (a) is untrue. For one, borders are difficult for migrants to cross: trains and coaches near borders are often checked for migrants, some borders are under police surveillance (like between France/Italy), etc. Second, Dublin agree

Your comment is contradictory. If rich people pay a lower percentage than lower brackets, that corresponds exactly to the idea that they don’t pay their share . According to your logic, if the rich represented 85% of tax dollars (an overwh

Some interesting stuff in here, but the way you present it makes it difficult to access. If I may, I would advise you to: - make the cards browsable on your homepage instead of presenting them as a pdf - provide some more information about

Your explanation very much resembles the one I used to have for not being vegan: in hindsight, it was nothing but a way to avoid the cognitive dissonance between my belief that I was a good person and the knowledge that I simply didn’t care

The theory that young trees capture more CO2 than older trees has been debunked as far as I know. The best carbon sinks are older large trees: they grow at lower rates height-wise, but faster mass-wise, sequestering much more carbon. A sing
