It's an experimental study. These designs attempt to create a treatment and control to account for this problem. Others in the thread point out how it's not easy to implement, but there is a methodological attempt at casual infere

Yeah mine too. Swear to God I'm not a bot, folks. I just use Firefox and a bunch of extensions. Actually pretty pissed off about that. A site like this should understand their audience is technical.

Discovered bouldering in my forties, after neglecting my body for years. Fantastic sport, I'm stronger, fitter, and more flexible than I've ever been. It's fun, social, relatively cheap, and way less of a grind than the gym.

I think the key point there is "viable experiments", most digital marketing people I've encountered are not into things like deseasoning, controlling, heck, you say "regression" and they blank. Not accounting for tr

The "think of the children" framing in all these cases troubles me. Adults experience harms from these platforms too. We see problems with addiction, political influence, extremist rabbit-holes, fraud, and yes, buying tonnes of un

The nineties was a very different time. There was generally a lot more goodwill towards America on all fronts, the collapse of the Soviet Union was framed, and in some quarters accepted, as something that would lead to global peace and pros

I pay for content: gig and cinema tickets, merch and digital albums from artists I like or know. I buy loads of books, magazines, digital and physical games, art I can hang on my wall. I've even started a bit of a CD collection. At tim

The US isn't Rome, it's Constantinople. Rome was Europe, the 20th century was about the colonial appendage achieving supremacy over the former imperial centre. If you want a lesson in what to avoid to maintain dominance, it's

I think this has already happened to some extent, with social media etc. crowding out reading books. Even higher quality stuff like HN pales in comparison with what a good book brings, and it's a daily struggle to keep reading. At leas

I'm really happy to see this turning out the same way as Glass. It's rare we get serious wins over big tech. It's tough to think of something else that's been so roundly societally rejected, not so much as a bad product,

I've been playing with it the last few weeks, great software and really fun to use. Fantastic timing. Thanks for all the hard work that went into the release. I'm particularly happy to see keyboard shortcut preferences in the rele

Mate, you ever read a scientific paper? You dig regression? Did you read TFA yourself? Was I wrong?

Studies typically use regression to account for stuff like that. CBA to look at the article, but I bet any money that's controlled for.

I'm not at my computer, but I've got such a thing. It's a ViolentMonkey script, something like LinkedIn Sponsor Block or similar. Does just what you need.

It's not at all about individual action. This scale of problem requires policy intervention and investment at national levels, and inter-governmental coordination internationally. The big, meaningful wins come from things like stopping

No, music and literature are not like VFX, unless I'm truly blind to the magic of After Effects. A good novel can have you laughing out loud or crying to yourself, they can introduce new ideas that can totally change your outlook on th

Who goes to jail for displaying the ad in a public place? If I ran say, a shop, and put CSAM up on my notice board (because I was paid to) that would see me in prison, surely. The lack of accountability here is astounding.
