You seem like the the annoyance here. You post half of the replies on this site with sometimes conflicting opinions! It's as if you have a multiple personality disorder.
Why do people where business suits?
Precisely! Wear I work, I face no discrimination because I always don formal where.
Another thing is that this sort of thing has been tested and quantified. Of course, any study that touches politics is controversial (ie., upsets people's long held convictions/prejudices/biases), but this sort of discrimination is out there and has been documented. I guess whether the reverse happens (this whole "privilege" thing) would be a nice thing study, imho.
First job vs 6 years. Sorry bro, I think in the albeit-contrived world of anecdote grading, he wins.
Take an exception of anecdote over study, then fuel emotion.
This is not a problem if we do one thing: if we report education rankings of individual states in comparisons with other countries and not average over the US as whole; this is in line with the whole "state's rights" infatuation we tend to have.
This will be a good test for that theory, for sure.
Technology for technology's sake is pointless.
Slashdot. News for Nerds, Stuff That Matters
Your privacy concerns are valid, but how is disliking technology for technology's sake, which is something I think that all nerds do, nerdy? Sometimes, this site confuses me.
Did you read TFA? Or did you choose sentences to read randomly? Those we're quoted as the results that worked. In fact, here is the original paragraph:
Ten of the effects were consistently replicated across different samples. These included classic results from economics Nobel laureate and psychologist Daniel Kahneman at Princeton University in New Jersey, such as gain-versus-loss framing, in which people are more prepared to take risks to avoid losses, rather than make gains1; and anchoring, an effect in which the first piece of information a person receives can introduce bias to later decisions2. The team even showed that anchoring is substantially more powerful than Kahneman’s original study suggested.
Two that didn't were about social priming, one was currency priming, in which participants supported what I assume is the current state of capitalism after seeing money, and the other, priming feelings of patriotism with a flag. Moreover, both original authors we're positive about it:
Social psychologist Travis Carter of Colby College in Waterville, Maine, who led the original flag-priming study, says that he is disappointed but trusts Nosek’s team wholeheartedly, although he wants to review their data before commenting further. Behavioural scientist Eugene Caruso at the University of Chicago in Illinois, who led the original currency-priming study, says, “We should use this lack of replication to update our beliefs about the reliability and generalizability of this effect”, given the “vastly larger and more diverse sample” of the Many Labs project. Both researchers praised the initiative.
There you go, quoting the article directly since you can't be bothered to read it. It is true that they apparently chose what some consider to be important effects and the evidence against social priming is upsetting to some. Still, the fact that verification actually happened and people are happy about it shows science is alive and kicking.
Anyway, another cool thing about this study should be that it uses this thing, the open science framework which I haven't heard about until today, but seems pretty cool.
I know this is a repeated meme, and I, myself, taught myself C when I was 14. However, I've never seen any statistics about this, I wonder if this really is the usual case.
Whether it is a problem and whether France of Switzerland can come out of these laws unscathed (or bettered), we in America obviously can't hope to do the same. We can't even copy the rest of the modern world and implement a decent healthcare system, so who thinks we could solve this issue?
The other competitor which shall not be named has a better method of "public image management." It's simple: with each of their devices they sell, it comes equipped with a state-of-the-art RDF generator that turns the purchasers into fully obedient drones who will take to the internet forums and defend the company themselves! Since these drones are now merely subservient beings to the corporate will, they don't need to be paid; in fact, the effects of RDF ensure that they will throw themselves at the stores the next time the company delivers a new product, even for the most incremental and mundane updates! The shills will pay you!
lmfao this was modded as informative, fucking lol
If you think the system is working, ask someone who's waiting for a prompt.
