Ever meet a kid that wanted to be a cop? Why do you think they had such aspirations? Surely not to uphold the status quo and maintain the power structures in our society. They’re idealistic kids who think they’ll be helping make the world a better place. That dream doesn’t suddenly die for everyone upon reaching adulthood. Would it be effective? Maybe not. But it’s not like people don’t make poor life decisions all the time.
You told me that you’re judging them for their chosen profession. Admittedly, I may be lacking in imagination here, but I don’t see what other information you could be basing these judgements on if it’s not their public behaviour or knowing literally every single person who’s ever wanted to be a cop and their motivation. The filtering process is irrelevant when we’re talking about the decision to go through the process at all.
You can’t imagine changing the system so that it stops being oppressive?
Selection bias. You’re basing this on what you know of active cops. The ones who died were not active cops.
For all we know, they could be the ones who tried to be the change we all want to see and thus got purposely weeded out.
Not to mention the time that you need to take out of your vacation to go shopping to replace those items. They were only there for a weekend so that would’ve been a pretty big chunk of it.

Thanks, I appreciate the link. I’m a scientist by trade too, but not in a field where hazard ratios would be part of my repertoire.
My concern is not so much the quality of the publisher (though it’s nice to know) or whether they used methods that are standard for these kinds of studies, but rather whether the general public is coming to the correct conclusions given what the researchers did.
So based on just this little excerpt, it seems that there’s no casual relationship being established at all. They don’t seem to claim any casual relationship either. On the other hand, the psypost article talks about it as if they did.

I don’t have time to dive into this paper myself yet. Has anyone else been able to and can give a quick summary of that they did to infer the causal relationship from observational data?
Edit: Aaah, I don’t have access to the paper. I guess this isn’t happening.
What I’m noticing is a lot of uncertainty and I don’t like that.
The US needs to take care of themselves too and if they need tariffs to do that, then it’s perfectly fine. There’s a limited number of things that can benefit them and we can plan around them if needed. The problem is that the current administration doesn’t seem to care about the well-being of the country at all. There’s little rhyme or reason to anything happening down there so literally anything can happen. You can’t plan around that.
I’m pretty sure amphetamines already do that and it’s much cheaper.
You weren’t kidding. 12 emails from them within the last week.
Montreal’s a pretty big city. If you’re willing to do it, sharing your local expertise can help a lot of people.
So essentially, they set the party platform and everyone in the party follows that?
So how much power does the party leader actually have in enacting these changes?
You get a play/pause and even the ability to seek. Lucky you.
The poll in the article…
Would you use an app to unlock retail store displays?
Yes. If it speeds up shopping, that’s a win for me.
No. I don’t need an app to shop, and will just find and employee to unlock it.
Where’s the option of “no, I didn’t need it as much as I thought I did”
Not once have I had a usable voice mail UI. Forced to go through 10 seconds of menu between each message to delete and select the next one, and 90% of them are people just hanging up after realizing they hit voice mail. Then the few times I do get an important message, I have to replay the full message multiple times to transcribe the number I need to call. No seeking, no ending the playback after I’ve passed the bit I needed, often terrible audio. Why do you do this when you have my email?
Climate change = mismanagement on the part of pretty much the whole world. So technically correct.
Considering how few people block all scripts, this could also make it trivial for them to fingerprint you.
