  • Is it common courtesy to stack your shopping cart back with the other carts?

    Jump

  • As someone who worked at more than one grocery store where the manager scheduled more people per week if someone needed to constantly be on cart duty (e.g., during the winter, because folks were less likely to put their carts back during the cold), I often don't put my cart back in the correct spot. I do so because at the stores I worked at, that would help people who want more hours be able to make a case for those hours to the manager. I often had to do so when I wanted more hours, and I was the person who did the carts. I never do this when cart duty is otherwise hard (e.g., late at night, in the cold, in the summer heat, etc.)---in those cases, I always bring my cart back inside of the store and put it completely away.

    So, yes, but there are sometimes reasons to do something besides what's courteous.

  • In a study of identical twins, Stanford researchers have found that a vegan diet improves cardiovascular health

  • Try eating the same number of calories on a vegan diet. It's hard. More fiber fills you quicker. The diets can't equate both satiety and calories. Lower calories on a vegan diet is a feature, not a bug.

  • How do you check if a story is written by a human or an AI?

    Jump

  • Recently, a company called Pangram appears to have finally made a breakthrough in this. Some studies by unaffiliated faculty (e.g., at U Chicago) have replicated its claimed false positive and false negative rates. Anecdotally, it's the only AI detector I've ever run my papers through that hasn't said my papers are written by AI.

  • EU supports US invasion of Venezuela by claiming Maduro is an illegitimate president. Refuses to call the US invasion illegitimate.

  • I did some searching and found this, which seems to be a pretty good source?

    I don't think any country should remove another country's president under any circumstances, though.

  • Wikipeter founded the website in 1993 when he wanted to know more about model trains without having to visit the library

  • Things appear to have changed; thanks for drawing my attention to that. I may start editing some articles in my broader area.

  • I can't without doxxing myself more than I'd like. It wasn't an article about himself, nor his research. This was about 10 years ago, so the rules may have changed. I'll take a look and edit my post accordingly if so.

  • A problem with Wikipedia is that experts are not allowed to contribute to their areas of expertise because they're "biased" (see edit below). I know a professor at a top university who used to spend his free time editing Wikipedia outside of his specific area but in his broad area of expertise as a method of disseminating science knowledge to the public. When the higher-up Wikipedia editors found out who he was, they banned his account and IP from editing.

    Having the lay public write articles works when expertise isn't required to understand something, but much of Wikipedia around science is slightly inaccurate at best. (This is still true, probably owing to the neutral point of view rule [giving weight to fringe ideas as a result] or the secondary source prioritization over primary sources.)

    Edit: current Wikipedia editing rules and guidelines would not support this ban, so things appear to have changed. Wikipedia still recommends against primary sources as authoritative sources of information (recommending secondary sources instead), which is not great. But, they explicitly now welcome subject matter experts as editors.

  • Yes, it plays a role. What exactly it's doing is unclear, and it's probably more that it's setting up tau to do the real nasty stuff, but it contributes. We know that from experimental work in nonhuman animal models and converging longitudinal work in humans. See, for example: https://www.cell.com/neuron/pdfExtended/S0896-6273(22)00305-1

  • Gen Z has the highest rate of veganism in history and it's reshaping the food industry

    Jump

  • I've actually seen a lot of millennials likening 6 7 to 1337 and such that millennials made a big deal over at that age.

  • Gen Z has the highest rate of veganism in history and it's reshaping the food industry

    Jump

  • Millennials bore the brunt of a ton of media framing their changes as evil, so they aren't doing the same to subsequent generations. A similar inference could be made about the positivity towards veganism (i.e., coming from a vegan site).

    OP isn't implying anything about validity; they're just explaining the article's positive framing.

  • Palantir Could Be the Most Overvalued Company That Ever Existed

  • NVIDIA at least makes money. Their TTM P/E is around 45. The average is like 25 right now for the S&P iirc, which is above historical averages of ~15, but has been the new normal for like 20 years at this point. We're in a bubble, but NVIDIA is selling the picks and shovels, so they'll won't go bankrupt once it pops.

    Brushing teeth before going to the dentist has the same motivator as shaving pubes before going to the gynecologist: If someone's going to be looking inside there, you want it to look nice.
