Being wrong is a basic part of doing science. You would be imposing terrible incentives that would keep researchers from trying to understand all but the most trivial things. Whether it’s controversial or not, it’s very dumb.

The first part would be a terrible policy and is not at all the standard economists, or any scientists, are held to on the market. You’re directionally correct, though, in that there would be more accountability for track records.

You can safely take that a step further: Harvard is a jobs program for retards.

Which happens first? Jerry Rice vs Lebron James Catching up on the backlog of these questions from the pod: Jerry Rice caught a pass in 274 co games, beginning 12/9/1985 and ending 9/19/2004. LeBron James has scored at least 10 points in 1289 co games, beginning 1/6/2007 and continuing to the present. Will someone beat Rice's 274 game streak or Lebron's streak (however long it ends up being) first? Eager to hear your reasoning in the comments. https://stacker.news/items/1086727

That's so cool! How unusual this is = how early we still are

I fully support looking into the available evidence on this topic. There are interpretation issues due to selection bias with these things, that have to be kept in mind. Office visits are not equivalent to any particular health outcome. To even use them as a proxy requires an assumption that parents of unvaccinated kids are just as likely to take their kids to the doctor. That seems highly unlikely. Another interpretation of these charts is that parents who don't get vaccines for their kids also forego other medical interventions.

Kraken IPO https://beta.predyx.com/market/kraken-ipo-in-2025?ref=PREDYXCP2908OJ Unless I'm missing something, this Predyx market is all but a sure thing. There seems to be no expectation of a Kraken IPO until 2026. Scoop up some No shares while you can. https://stacker.news/items/1065740

NBA Redraft 5/21: 2007 This has to be one of the great whiffs in NBA history. Can our time travelling scouts give the Trailblazers some advice about who to take with the first pick? Since these can be pretty obvious, go ahead and rank your top 3. https://stacker.news/items/1064059

NBA Redraft 4/21: 2006 Take 2 on this poll. Original post: > It's finally here: The Bargnani draft. > > I'm having to change the rules just to get Bargnani on the list of options. From now on we will include the actual top pick plus the eight other guys with the highest career VORPs. > > Was he really that bad or was it a good pick and the situation was bad? > > It's time to travel back in time and advise the Toronto Raptors on who to select. https://stacker.news/items/1054492

I think it's sort of a category error to just say a particular food is healthy. All foods have different nutrient profiles and whether they are healthy to consume depends on whether your body has enough use for the nutrients to offset the costs of metabolizing it. My understanding of these two products is that maple syrup has a broader nutrient profile, in terms of minerals and complex organic molecules, which make it more useful to our bodies.

Dodgers in free fall. just giving sats away on the 49ers. Get while the getting's good.

The draft is on Friday. https://stacker.news/items/1076521/r/Undisciplined

I'll be onboard. I lost immediately last year. Stupid damn Bungles

Stacker Sports will once again have the biggest survivor pool in bitcoin

Do we have to fall all the way back down to that stoopid line soon?

I didn't look into it beyond our league

We used Sleeper last year. Not sure if we're using it again though.

Probably safe to take his overs when they play Dallas this year

How many guards do they think a team needs?

I’ve learned the hard way not to believe in any hype surrounding this team. I think they’ll be the best 4th place team in any division.

Was it racist that I assumed Car knew more Spanish than me? https://fountain.fm/episode/kcJhe99tG4Su3TwLPJrE

I think new homes have been smaller than existing homes for a few years now.

You do make chocolate with Hodl butter in it, though, which I'm very eager to try.

What happens first? Wilt vs Gretzky This week's question was whether Gretzky's career points or Wilt's career rebounds are best first. Both are incomprehensibly far ahead of any contemporary challenger. So, whose record falls first? (listen to the end of [the pod](https://fountain.fm/episode/WKc1B578t7Y40VyPrxQk) for some shockingly good reasoning by @grayruby) https://stacker.news/items/1083998

I love how weird seemingly obvious ideas get as we try to drill down on them.
