Actually, they say that they corrected for age and BMI, though they don't specify how.
What worries me the most (from a scientific point of view) is that they say that they only found a statistically significant effect between the 0-10 and the 21-30 pushups groups. I assume that means they used pairwise tests. They report the 95% confidence intervals, which then means that they didn't correct for multiple comparisons. This is an instance of p-hacking, if I ever saw one.
A better route (and quite obvious, given their data) would have been to do linear regression and report its significance level. Given what they reported, though, my guess is the linear regression just wasn't significant and they wanted to publish something. Anything.
This is why medicine, among other fields, is suffering from a reproducibility crisis.
I once booked a return flight from Bergen (Norway) to somewhere in Mexico. Once there, I had to change my plans and wouldn't be going back to Bergen, but staying in Munich, where I had a layover.
When I first got to the airport in Mexico, I told the people at the counter about it, just so they would know and not wait for me at the Munich airport, and the employee at the counter told me that making any changes to my reservation would cost $300 USD. He wouldn't budge, so I just walked away in Munich (I had no checked luggage). What the hell do they expect?
And just as I clicked on submit and went back to the full article, it dawned on me that the names are in alphabetical order, so ignore me; I'm just a bit more ignorant than I thought.
Wouldn't it be much more intuitive to name the different versions of Android by number instead of sweet-du-jour in the summary? How many people not in the business know by heart the order in which these randomly-assigned names came out?
I understand that the writing makes it obvious in which order they were rolled out, but were they all major versions? Subversions? Are subversions even named?
(Mind you, the full article does have version numbers next to the names)
Except AMD cards are also very low on supply and high on prices because they are quite efficient at mining (bang for buck).
In fact, their Vega 56 and 64 have been impossible to find pretty much since launch, and when you do find them, their prices are ridiculously high because miners are willing to pay them. Their RX 580 and 570 are doing no better either.
which is why websites like Expedia have a "sort by price" and don't have a "sort by legroom."
Do they even have a "sort by legroom" button? I'm a big individual and would gladly favour airlines with more legroom (and shoulder room, for that matter), even if a bit more expensive, but as it stands there is no way of knowing (unless you're familiar with the air plane model, I suppose).
Even when flying with the same airline (say, Norwegian airlines or Lufthansa, with which I have the most experience) you never know what kind of legroom you'll get. I've had Norwegian flights in which I could do yoga and flights in which my knees are deep in the back of the passenger in front of me. And this is even the same route!
There are airlines, specially on transatlantic flights, that offer couch+ seats with extra legroom, but the prices are abusive. Pay an extra $250 in an $800 flight (both ways) for an extra 15 centimetres? Hardly an option.
Can't the same thing be accomplished with a pre-charged capacitor (a battery or something) with an usb port? Send the charge through the data line and blow stuff up. And I'm sure you can get it cheaper than 50 USD.
So if this is to become a problem, it won't be from this gadget.
Or are you under the impression that the Spanish Conquistadors let the native populations survive in meaningful numbers?
Perhaps a bit off-topic, but in many of the latinamerican countries the native populations were not decimated by the Spanish, but rather enslaved. That's why from Mexico to Peru the population is still mostly indigenous.
By the same logic, would they conclude that the vast majority of racists against black people are black because they are the ones who use the word "Nigger" (or derivatives) more? I have heard many instances of women calling each other slut as a friendly nickname, with no offense meant. Perhaps a bit misguided, but definitely not misogynistic on itself.
Though in all fairness, the study itself does not conclude that half of misogynistic tweets come from women. They report that half of the usage of the words 'slut' and 'whore' is by women, but they make a distinction between casual use and offensive use (and more distinctions within this). While not peer-reviewed, the study makes for interesting reading.
The first time I heard of it and saw it, we thought the list of names at the end room was a list of souls that Bill Gates had consumed to prolong his life.
The truth was more heinous than we had imagined: it was a list of people involved in creating Office...
While blue light emitted by monitors and mobile displays has been widely cited as a cause in disrupting people's circadian rhythm, the evidence is thin

Many studies have shown that exposure to bright blue light in the evening can affect your circadian rhythms and make it harder to fall asleep
I know the two quotes come from different people (the submitter and "Apple", respectively), but putting them both in the summary without further comment seems odd. Which one is true, then?

The scientific article itself doesn't mention nazis at all. The closest it gets is mentioning Milgram's classic experiment in the 60s, which itself was based on the question about nazis. Any nazi reference you see comes from the media, not the scientists.

The results indicate that humans are able to hurt each other when given orders.
Those aren't the results, but rather the original observations. From the article's abstract:
Thus, people who obey orders may subjectively experience their actions as closer to passive movements than fully voluntary actions
The results are that the brain actually feels like a passive observer once you have decided to follow orders against your better judgement. You no longer process the results as consequences of your actions, but rather as 'just the way the world moves'. This means that any form of reinforcement learning goes out the window immediatly.
So they were surprised that their technology to track cars can be used to track cars? Who knew!
On a less sarcastic note, the problem seems to be that they don't require you to prove you're the owner of the car in order to register it with their system. Therefore, you could register anyone's car and use the malls' systems to track the real owner.
... Slashdot has turned me into a screener. With posts like this one, I always check if they're from our friend Bennet before I go to the comments section.
I wonder, though, if you give your pass to a guest who is using win10 (unbeknownst to you) and your router is set to not allow win10 devices (is this possible? I'm not techie enough), would their win10 machine still save the pass and share it?
If so, you would need to do the banning personally. If your guest asks for your pass, you will need to personally check that they're not going to use it with a win10 device before you hand it over.
The blog from the summary cites no sources. Hell, they don't even hint at where they get their information. The other link to a story is a rehash of the blog post. The others are unrelated to the main story.
And in case you're wondering, the blog post doesn't say why they quit or what does "quitting" mean. One can assume from the text (though it doesn't actually say it) that the main space agency was disbanded by the government, but that's all. Why? Who knows!
but isn't this a very stupid thing to do? I mean, one of the reasons MS can get away with windows is by hiding the actual cost to the consumer, since it's mostly bundled with the brand desktop or laptop you buy. At the end, most regular users really see windows as being free. Then in comes MS and starts waving invoices in front of their faces? People are going to start wondering if there's an actually-free alternative...
Drivers? The only drivers you'll ever need are graphics drivers, and that's only if you're a gamer; otherwise the default video drivers work just fine.
This is of course anecdotal, but on my computer every time I install win7 I need to go looking for video, sound and modem drivers to even make it behave like a modern computer (and I still can't believe Windows asks me if I want to search the internet for those modem drivers). Then I have to install a bunch of other minor drivers to get all the functions back. And this with a dell laptop that came with win7.
Not everywhere, though. I worked at technical service for a US cellphone carrier and I was instructed during training to refuse being recorded. If a customber told me that he was recording the call, I was to insist they turn it off, or I would have to end the call. Curiously, it was one of the very few reasons I was actually allowed to hang up the phone.
I believe it was Sony who submitted the 150 patches to the video driver for ATI cards a few weeks ago and I, like you, was very happy that they included DPM. Without it, my laptop would overheat playing solitaire and it was quite loud all the time. Since I could never get the Low Profile to work properly, I always had to switch to the propietary ATI drivers, which are quite retarded. Hell, it wants me to restart X every time I change my (dual) screen configuration!
I'm surprised the patches were accepted into this version of the kernel, though. I thought I'd have to wait until the next one.
