Women make global gains as researchers, but gaps persist A large-scale global study found that while the number of women in academic research is growing, STEM fields remain dominated by men.

By that hypothesis, the gender trust gap should have shrunk over the last few decades, as the gender ratio among active scientists improved markedly during that time. Is that consistent with your data?

Indeed, leaving this up seems pretty irresponsible at this point, also because the (appreciated) correction of that blatantly wrong allegation about violations of @naturemedicine.bsky.social's disclosure policy is likely to be overlooked by most bsky.app/profile/emil...

Wasn't your objection to the word "trial" instead? It's still entirely unclear why that should be regarded as "misleading" here. (As @brendannyhan.bsky.social indicated, the term "randomized controlled trial" has long been used for experiments that don't involve patient "care" in any sense.)

If Congress Repeals Section 230, What Will that Mean for Wikipedia? This is the first installment in our three-part series about Section 230.

(and besides its direct impact on the platform itself, a section 230 repeal would have lots of indirect effects too, per this detailed post by @wikimediapolicy.bsky.social :

Thanks for drawing attention to this.
BTW, when doing that brief recap of section 230's importance by listing examples of platforms it protects (2:15), please consider mentioning Wikipedia too next time

The German original calls them "PΓΆbelexzesse" ("mob excesses").

"Es bedarf Zeit und Erfahrung, bevor der Arbeiter die Maschinerie von ihrer kapitalistischen Anwendung unterscheiden und daher seine Angriffe [...] auf [deren] gesellschaftliche Ausbeutungsform ΓΌbertragen lernt."

CommunityTheaterAI on X: "Lord of the Rings as a community theater production. https://t.co/wEdMus9vHm" / X Lord of the Rings as a community theater production. https://t.co/wEdMus9vHm

Glitchy and technically outdated by now, but still a fan of all the Veo 3 community theater productions like x.com/CommTheater/...

Good to question whether such laws actually yield the desired effects.

But the paper seems oblivious to the fact that the act’s notice-and-takedown requirement isn't in force yet ("Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, a covered platform shall establish a process ...")

Intelligence - Wikipedia

Thanks for elaborating. I don't agree that a simple ask to clarify the central term is a "gotcha".
As for 300 chars:
1) you started this "game" yourself in this forum
2) Referring to (say) one of the definitions given at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelli... or a publication of your own would've worked

Don't you think that someone who accuses others of having ”a powerful illusion” about some thing being X (and strongly asserts that some thing is not X) should be able to explain what he means by X?

Indeed. E.g. on Twitter, "over 90% of tweets receive no reply at all" (in one particular 2017-2021 dataset, but still) www.researchgate.net/publication/...

It's a bit exasperating but very common - even generally highly knowledgeable academics often don't know about CC licenses or don't understand them. Wikipedia / Wikimedia Commons gets such reuse questions all the time

"hugely misleading" is a strong accusation, are you able to substantiate it or at least point to the specific statement you consider misleading?

I simply described what you do, without insinuating you get paid for it: "advocate for the copyright industry’s private business interests"
And I already acknowledged diverging values. Even Ayn Rand expressed sincerely held personal beliefs when extolling and idealizing private moneymaking interests
