| COVxy 09/08/22 7:25:36 PM #183 | s0nicfan posted... No, that's just you asking a different question. If people want to argue over whether women are shuttled to careers they don't want based on societal expectations, we should explore that. If you want to argue that there needs to be better child care so that women don't feel compelled to quit, I'm all for that discussion too. Both of those are great points and real issues that could be worked on. It's definitely not a different question. Conditional estimate vs unconditional estimate of the same quantity is just a different way of looking at the same thing, subdividing it in different ways. The unconditional estimate has all the problematic aspects I described, and what people try to do is sweep all of them under the rug of "personal career choice" by uncritically saying things like "if you correct for career choice the gap goes away!". --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

| COVxy 09/07/22 2:39:08 PM #4 | I think it's probably only a minority of the time that scientists have trouble communicating results to the public. I think the bigger reason people get turned off when scientists talk about what they do is that people don't care much about the actual science, but find the flashy speculation fun. So, a regular journalist is happy to spin shit that way, while a scientist will strive more for accuracy (which tends to just be boring to most people). --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

| Topic | medium-rare burgers is the most midwit foodie trend ever |
| COVxy 09/06/22 9:17:33 PM #71 | MrToothHasYou posted... Theres not next to no risk, which is why the FDA guidelines instruct restaurants to cook burgers to an internal temp of 155F, and the USDA and CDC recommend internal temperature of 160F for burgers or ground beef. I've never known anyone who has gotten sick from an undercooked burger. Have you? How often do people get ecoli from eating an undercooked burger, in relation to how many undercooked burgers are eaten? My guess is that the risk is incredibly low, owing to the fact that ecoli needs to be present to begin with which is probably very rare. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |
