  1. Re:This is stupid junk science. by TechyImmigrant · · Score: 5, Informative · on People Who Prefer Black Coffee Are More Likely To Have Psychopathic Or Sadistic Traits, Study Finds (rd.com)

    This kind of BS discredits the entire scientific community.

    Go read the paper http://emilkirkegaard.dk/en/wp...

    It makes no stupid claims. The report only weak association (e.g. r = 0.15 for one of them).

    Meanwhile the journalist Shannon Donohue wrote "Do you prefer your morning joe sans cream and sugar? A new study says you're probably a psychopath with sadistic tendencies.". Shannon Donohue is another bad journalist who's first impulse on reading a paper is to lie about it in an article.

    > White people and Asians are smarter than blacks.

    Socioeconomic and cultural factors

    > They have bigger and more complex brains than blacks.

    Brain size differences between men and women are much greater than the race differences in brain size, yet men and women have the same average IQ.

    > Blacks have never developed a civilisation.

    Moors?

    > They can barely figure out how to feed themselves.

    When, why and where the first African farmers settled in Southern Africa

    > All throughout history, in every time and all over the world the black has always been at the bottom of the heap.

    *Ahem* Moors?

  3. Kirkegaard's blog - data removed/DMCA request by starless · · Score: 2 · on Researchers Release Profile Data on 70,000 OkCupid Users Without Permission (vox.com)

    OSF has now suspended the entire repository, not just deleted the user datafile. Not sure why this is the case. So for now, the paper PDF will be available here: OKCupid_public_dataset_paper Edited to add: The repository is closed due to a DMCA request sent by OKCupid which is currently being investigated.

    A good use of the DMCA in this case IMO. (Though surprised it worked overseas.)

    Better to read All You Zombies (download as pdf). One of the best time travel short stories.

    Pretty much anything by Heinlein is an excellent read. For those who haven't been introduced to his works, here's what's probably the best short-story time travel story ever written. (All You Zombies - pdf)

  6. Re:Chicken Little by tomhudson · · Score: 1 · on In-Vitro Muscle Cells, It's What's For Dinner
    The best time-traveling short story of all time: All You Zombies (Heinlein) (warning: pdf - you might want to right-click and save it to read it).

    You might have to read it a couple of times ...
