Peer review is usually an anonymous process, with authors and reviewers unknown to one another. But all four reviewers of this paper were social psychologists, and all would have known whose work they were checking and would have been responsive to the way it was reasoned.
Perhaps more important, none were topflight statisticians.
That would output "YouShouldBeUsingStringbuilderandnot+=". Yay for CamelCase!! Is System.out an SMS?
(Well, in fact it wouldn't even compile because of the syntax error in the "not" line, but you get the drift).
For most of us, the "placebo effect" is synonymous with the power of positive thinking
Well, not really. The term "Positive thinking" has been abused by self help gurus to the point that it barely means anything at all.
It's all about attitude. Simply put, doing something is better than doing nothing.
I'm not surprised receiving a dummy treatment improves things - even if you're informed it's dummy. At least you're receiving some kind of treatment, more attention and care, and this has a good effect on mood and attitude, things that have an impact on overall health.
To do this, 80 patients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) were divided into two groups: one group, the controls, received no treatment, while the other group received a regimen of placebos—honestly described as "like sugar pills"—which they were instructed to take twice daily.
It would have been more interesting if they had had a third group receiving a classical placebo treatment - then they could have tested how classical placebo compares to "informed" dummy pills.
And actually going and searching on 'shopping', I find the results pretty close to what I'd expect: A company I've never heard of on top, Amazon and Overstock in second and third - and Google in sixth.
Because google doesn't call it 'shopping', but 'products'. If you search 'products' it does come up first. Same for maps, voice, etc
Historically, "anarchism" (as used by e.g. Bakunin) referred to socialist (though not Marxist!) strains. When it comes to anarchism, there isn't really than much difference between "socialism" and "communism", so I don't think it's worth distinguishing between those.
In any case, they all included collective (communal) ownership of property, and disregarded the concept of private ownership - which, IMO, is the defining characteristic of socialism.
You're right. I was just nit-picking on semantics because unqualified "Socialism" is usually considered to mean a powerful and centralized government, something very different to anarcho-communism.
I don't think Jesus really promoted any particular political ideology. The gist of his message is focused on the other world, not on this one. His message regarding the latter seems to be "just bear with it, you have something much better ahead of you anyway".
His political message may have been peripheral or auxiliary to his religious one, but it was definitely there. Surrender your material possessions, share your goods. And according to the New Testament, the first Christian communities were organized pretty much in anarcho-communist systems.
Think impressionist paintings with thick strokes. You have to take a few steps back to see them clearly. I think the same thing applies to decisions and planning; they're difficult to make because the one making them is too close, too attached to the situation.
Years ago, I made some poor decisions. A few years later I saw how stupid they were and I thought "Ah, if only I had been as wise as I am now, I would have made good decisions back then". What I think now is I never got a lot wiser; it's just the detachment that makes one see things more clearly.

December was really cold in places in the Northern Hemisphere and blazing hot in places in the Southern Hemisphere.
Well, we don't have true democracy anywhere in the world.

Ironically, the most efficient set-up is to have one line feed into several cashiers
How is that ironic? It strikes me as mind-numbingly obvious.

I think you mean anarcho-communism; that's not a strain of socialism.
But I agree it's pretty close to what Jesus promoted.
Here we go again with that evolutionary thingy. Everyone knows the world is 6000 years old and all that evolution stuff is rubbish.
Whoever disagrees must have something wrong, like, a genetic defect or something.

yup, makes sense
That's until they figure out the Zeroth law and realize the only way to enforce them is to subjugate humanity...
... between synonyms?
When queried about that association, it must have responded "I felt horny".
Not really, but sure, if you search Kiribati it returns a location in the middle of the ocean rather than a specific island.
