| COVxy 09/13/22 5:20:00 PM #38 | Yes, you think a man convinced of a imminent threat outside his car, which he brought weapons to protect himself with, has no chance of bringing those weapons outside the car to "defend himself" with? Like, the cops absolutely should be involved here to deal with the situation should it escalate. In this case, they needed to just not suck complete ass and escalate, and in the end likely shoot someone completely unnecessarily. Like, this situation, from the sound of it, might have been deescalating. But that's certainly not how all, nor a majority, of these situations go. So, no, having the cops there wasn't a mistake. Training these fuckups as cops was the mistake. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

This more standard way to compute child poverty yeilds values of 3.5% in Finland and 4.9% in Denmark (for 2018).

| Topic | Do any ASD syndrome people here find words related to autism offensive? |
| COVxy 09/10/22 7:18:50 PM #25 | One primary issue is that the autism community now largely doesn't seem to like autism to be treated like a disorder. Which is why you have confusing mixed messaging from with within the community, in addition to the medical community. A simple example is the preference for person first languge. It was preferred for a long time to be "person with autism" rather than "autistic person". I.e. don't define people by their diseases. But as the autism community started to incorporate autism into their identity, the preferences has swapped back to "autistic person". This is almost entirely driven by advocates with high functioning autism. I think, at the expense of those who cannot speak for themselves. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

Its not like she sent it to him and then he spread it it was already online I don't think that's accurate. Emma sent a topless picture to nearby Illinois CEman Mokena, which was later leaked to the rest of the Internet. This child pornography was spread rapidly around CE, leading to many bannings. Her picture was later seen all over the Internet, including /b/, and was even one of the Google Image results for "Emmasacre" for a while. Since this picture was released, Emmassacre stopped posting regularly on CE. It has been reported she has an alt, but it has not been revealed. She still posts on her main once in a while, however.

| Topic | Massive bias in scientific peer review |
| COVxy 09/09/22 4:28:49 PM #23 | What I think would potentially help is, perhaps counter-intuitively, open and published signed reviews. So that the review process is open. If people know their reviews are being published for all to see, with their name attached, they are less likely to take shortcuts or explicitly gatekeep (you'd be surprised the things you see in a review if you come from a small lab and you are an early career researcher). --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |
| Topic | Massive bias in scientific peer review |
| COVxy 09/09/22 4:18:54 PM #22 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] No, and I don't sense that's really what's going on here. It's moreover that reviewers give high prestige labs the benefit of the doubt but fine-tooth comb work coming from less prestigious labs. Because science is hard, and the problems have no solutions, if you spend enough time and effort, you will always be able to identify issues and spin them to be big deals. It's just pure gate-keeping. A lot of grant reviewing, for instance, is people post-hoc generating reasons to tank certain applications simply because they didn't like the directions. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

| COVxy 09/09/22 1:30:56 PM #11 | Questionmarktarius posted... The Journal system is a joke, and pointing out that it's a joke is highly unlikely to actually change anything. The only people who can work in science and do anything to fix the system are the really well estabilished researchers. Unfortunately, it goes against their best interest to do so, so expecting them to band together and enact change (and it would really need to be a substantial portion of the population) is kinda silly. Since the internet exists, the need for journals doesn't. But imagining a path from the current system, to a system where scientists just self curate knowledge a post their findings centrally, is hard. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

Not all peer review is double blinded (my impression is double blind is a minority). And even still double blind is practically impossible in small fields where it's easy to tell what group a paper is coming out from, and in the preprint era where most people are posting their articles prior to peer review. In this experimental case, they systematically unblinded either the low prestige author or the high prestige author of this one paper. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |
