Can't find the citation, but remember gwern mentioning a study in one of his posts on replication that found that unintuitive findings tend to be both less replicable and more cited than intuitive ones.

Psychology is the field that is most hit with replication failures and has a slew of unintuitive results that turn out to be malpractice.

Thanks for talking about this. I'm sure you've considered this already, but it'd be valuable to contact an anti-corruption charity like Transparency International about your experience. It'd probably be a drop in the ocean, but every witness report counts, even about widely known issues.

Feedly has an API, I started writing a script a while ago to improve some RSS feeds, including HN (by making the number of comments and the URL appear in the body), but never finished it.

If someone had the same idea, please don’t hesitate sharing.

Thanks for the heads up, I’ll be sure to check your app out!

Your approach is also kind of similar to Joplin (joplinapp.org), another open source, privacy-focused, and cross-device app, but you have more features.

What do people think of Marginal Revolution? I get quite a lot of value from the link roundups, but find that the original content (the non-roundup posts) are about praising their ability to make predictions and their own opinion pieces (“recommended throughout”), brushing away criticism, regurgitating opinions of other experts on things they have no clue about, taking low-brow jabs at “the left“, etc.

Case in point: MR authors spent the last months arguing for the herd immunity approach, and bringing up Sweden once a week, and now apparently they were just waiting for data.

I just don’t get why they get so much readership and are seen to be similar to Slate Star Codex, Gwern, etc. (which have their own shortcomings, but are on a different level in terms of their reasoning ability).

Yous should check out languagetools.io. Like LingQ, but with a much better UI, way cheaper and chill with non-premium users, and they fund a school in Africa as well.
