And it validates every climate denialist who accuses scientists of fraud for their climate studies.

Naw, not in any meaningful way. And because climate change denialists will use pretty much anything to justify their beliefs, I don't find that reasonably compelling.

Is it about hard sciences or soft, social sciences? Or both?

Because I thought it was pretty clear that questionable studies get published because academics like what they say.

Fuck it, I'll just watch a bit and see where it goes.

I mean, it happens across the spectrum, this particular case is in criminology.

I mean, the title is context. It's talking about a case of scientific fraud, and the worrying trend in American universities where fraud gets covered up to prevent bad press.

What even is the point of that? Of course not literally every single college student is a whiny, selfish nitwit. It doesn't mean there isn't a pervasive college culture issue in many of these institutions.

Strange that the only ones who think it is a pervasive issue are people who haven't actually been in that environment.

In May of 2019, at the age of 52, I was accepted to the Eli Whitney student program at Yale University.

I am the oldest freshman in the class of 2023. Before I was accepted, I didnt really know what to expect. I had seen the infamous YouTube video of students screaming at a faculty member. I had seen the news stories regarding the admissions scandal and that Yale was included in that unfortunate business. I had also heard the students at Yale referred to as snowflakes in various social media dumpsters and occasionally Id seen references to Ivy League students as snowflakes in a few news sources.

Naw, there's just literally nothing interesting about this article, other than the fact that you agree with the thesis (which, btw, I do too). It's just "here is my opinion: sometimes even those at the extreme are right!"

I think we should probably just cut all jobs at every Uni that could be completed by a well organized website or a python script. Then a uni would be dirt cheap to run, and there wouldn't need to be q's like this.

General election polls are fairly accurate, but this is a primary. Here're some examples:
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/ia/iowa_democratic_caucus-208.html
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/nh/new_hampshire_democratic_primary-194.html
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/mi/michigan_democratic_presidential_primary-5224.html
It's much harder for pollsters to get a read on who is going to show up.

That's a different argument (which I havent evaluated). But the "2016 polls were inaccurate therefore don't trust polls" argument is pretty false (on both the antecedent, and even if you assume the antecedent, the consequent doesn't follow).

He was way outside the margin of error though. What are you talking about? The polls from 2016 were blatantly wrong. Which is why his win was a MAJOR shock to everyone. If he was within the margin of error, there wouldn't have been hundreds of articles claiming that Hillary had the election in bags for weeks before the polls opened.

Naw, just like the majority of things just after the 2016 election, this is narrative, not truth.
https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-polls-are-all-right/

Most people only examined the probabilistic simulations run by 538, which, as it turns out, are probabilistic. Don't worry, scientists suck at probabilistic reasoning too, so there's no expectation that anyone else should be good at it.

Again, she lost plenty of states where she was projected to win in the polls.

Again, statistics is about probability and error. Trump got lucky within the margins.

Well, Clinton was leading in every poll back in 2016, and we believed it like fools. Look at how that turned out :)

...and she won the popular vote.

Polls were remarkably accurate, just that Trump got lucky within the margins in the states that matter.

The fact that not a single house Republican voted for impeachment, I have my doubts that any will turn in the senate.

Mostly because the current Republicans in congress are so goddamn partisan that they are willing to aid in corruption to maintain power.

Best video I've seen on it

Same issues that occur with popular WTA occur with EC WTA, which is what our current system is.

Which is why they even go over an EC like system in that vid. I'd say popular WTA is better than EC WTA, but the primary issue is the tiered WTA system, which is why ranked voting has been mentioned (which again, could be EC or popular vote, as these are two seperate issues).

Removing the electoral college is a waste of effort unless we replace it with something better. Simple majority is NOT a good system for elections, and is exactly as bad as the electoral college.

I don't see why.

Anyway, I say we skip primaries, put all on ballot, and do rank voting. Seems like the best way to maintain information about people's preferences.

the problem with this kind of thinking is that all doctors are not experts in everything related to the medical field and shouldn't be thought of as such. every kind of doctor has a different specific place in the medical field, and most aren't even actual "experts" in that specific place. you definitely should not just blindly listen to and follow everything a doctor tells you simply because they are a doctor.

If it's between their statements and your google searches, you should probably hold a much higher baseline confidence in their opinion.

It should take strong evidence to combat that prior.

Yeah. If you really think they're wrong, get the opinion of another expert.

Yeah, I suppose the most accurate way to pur it is trust the consensus of experts, and if you don't have access to many, trust whatever plurality you have as the best info you have.
