  • Since we’re sharing pyramid theories I saw one recently hypothesizing that for the first step pyramid they used a system of hydraulics to lift the blocks up a shaft in the center

  • I was curious too so I pulled up the study.

    First off, this is a marketing paper aimed at companies trying inform the industry about taste demographics.

    Secondly, I think it’s relevant to note they selected sample songs from billboard top ten (excluding the top 3) so the data is definitely only speaking to ‘an average of average taste in billboard pop music’ and not to musical taste overall. Edit: Also limited to US.

    This is the bit that I think gets at our question:

    Peak Preference in SSA indicates the peak preference of each respondent based on their birth year, so if you were born in 1970 and the testing showed you favoring the 1990 song Vogue- Madonna as your peak preference, your SSA would be 20 (you favor music from when you were 20).

    My impression from this scatter chart is that a lot of people liked 80s music regardless of when they were born haha.

  • In math most people publish their papers on arxiv regardless of whether they get published in a journal. Arxiv has its own moderation structure, but theoretically published peer reviewed articles should be more trustworthy because they’re reviewed by your peers. In reality reviewers don’t have time to read papers super closely so some shoddy research gets through even when no blatant corruption is involved. In pure math this isn’t a huge issue because the work usually speaks for itself, but for some areas, especially applied statistics, it’s not so obvious whether an argument is actually well supported or statistically cherrypicked.

  • I don’t want to push too much traffic to this guy’s post but it’s titled “Android's new 24-hour sideloading delay should've happened years ago”

  • The comments on that article seem to agree with you.

  • Yep and they’re working on removing protections for other federal land which I have little doubt they’ll* accomplish given it was the fed previously protecting it. I’m just saying I think it will be difficult to actually implement projects in some places due to local opposition combined with the energy and resources to sustain that opposition.

    Not a good thing overall btw, by my figuring it just means under-resourced regions will continue to shoulder the bulk of industrial waste and pollution because they’ll be the least equipped to resist. Tale as old as time.

  • I have a feeling they’ll have a much harder time pushing through mining operations in Vermont, Maine, and New Hampshire than they did in West VA. This will be received like proposals of mining the great lakes would in MI or WI, and many of the residents (Boston area professors) have the resources and energy to resist it.

  • My first thought as well

  • Is there something that is in apples available api that makes sound that breaks through silent mode? Maybe an alarm or something that could be triggered from pebble watch? It wouldn’t lead you to a thief with your phone but maybe a fine replacement for dinging your phone lost in your couch.

  • The limit does not exist!

  • Agreed, studying sociology really opened my eyes to badly reasoned statistical methods (rampant in other fields too).
