The most recent group of people that acted on their emotional desires in this vain did so in support of the man who is taking money from a billionaire (hundred-billionare?) to stay in power in exchange for changing their policy position to favor the donor. This group failed and many were convicted of federal crimes.

It's formatted properly with Lemmy markdown. This is on the Sync developers to handle a very common feature in Lemmy properly.

Thank you!

What?

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people on Lemmy browsing all that downvote any Sports content. Makes it hard to establish a thriving community.

I'm going to be honest with you. I have no idea what I was thinking. When I wrote that message. I apologize for disturbing you with nonsense. I'm going to delete my prii message.

As I understand it, some studies don’t distinguish low-volume drinking from not drinking.

The quoted portion of the meta-study in the post makes it clear that the studies reviewed did distinguish between low-volume drinking and not drinking.

It wouldn't surprise me if sample selection not taking into account social factors which would cause people who drink at low volumes to lie and say they don't drink could play a role in certain studies.

Two organizations that are trying to make a difference:

The Journal of Trial and Error.
[The journal's editor-in-chief was interviewed by Nature.]

SURE: Series of Unsurprising Results in Economics

I found out about these today by the comments linked below:

Citation count has been and continues to be the defacto measure of research importance.

Not all work is unwanted. I want the communities I moderate to thrive and reports can help with that.

And then there’s the trending section.

That's just a bug the Lemmy project software that isn't being given any priority by the current developers. Hopefully someone takes the time to submit a fix to the code.

I took the comment you replied to as a suggestion to make the spotlight change weekly because people are not always on Lemmy World everyday.

No one has problems with not backing up their data until they find themselves in a position where backing up their data could have saved a lot of grief.

I recommend making an account on the instance of the community you're moderating as owner due to wierd federation effects on moderation actions.

Academic fraud is in no way a thing that is limited or even disproportionately prevalent in China. Perhaps the flavors of it are biased to one form or another in different cultures, but don't mistake that for more or less fraud in that culture. Perhaps you notice more from China simply because there are simply more Chinese people in the world than any other nation behind Indian people in India.

Incentives matter in any system. The incentives are perverse right now.

There was a whole season of The Wire that was dedicated to the theme of news publications demanding that more be done with less as budgets were cut. Craigslist was a major factor in the trend as it cut revenue severely for local publications.

Maybe @SorteKanin@feddit.dk would be interested in helping people there.

Relevant information:

GovTrack.us posted about the bill in question:

Appropriations legislation covering a bit less than half of the overall funding needs of the federal government was passed by the Senate 75-22 around dinner time on Friday 3/8. The bill was signed the next morning by the President. Even though technically Biden did so after the Friday midnight deadline, the government never shutdown for even a few hours.

The Science section of the bill contains the majority of the Science related appropriations.

GovTrack.us also provided links to summaries of the bill from The New York Times by Catie Edmondson and The American Prospect by David Dayen.
