I like the part where they say tiny effects are important, actually (but say nothing about relying on p-values to judge the existence of those effects):

A few days post-World Series heartbreak, I’m ready to pick whose jersey I want to wear next year. This was a tough one but what clinched it for me was Ernie Clement’s crotch-first Slide of Joy in game 7.

I say they’ve gone too far with so-called “fun size” candy. You know what’s fun, friends? An actual whole bar of chocolate.

I think that’s close to it. Here’s what we saw in an esm study where people completed 4x/day, 3 days/week for ~4 months: about 30% did nearly all of the surveys, all of the time.

There are a number of problems with how this study reports its results. Much of this could get ironed out in peer review. The small effect is even smaller adjusting for dept/college, and that lowess curve figure misrepresents the result to make the impact on GPA look larger (other version here):

Our national census has always asked about “ethnicity” and focused on country of origin, but also includes race examples, so the mix of responses makes it almost unusable. You have to look at our “visible minority” question to learn about skin colour.

Here’s a screenshot of the “addictive use” trajectories from the JAMA paper cited below. My educated guess from the details of the measure is that none of these lines comes close to bona fide “addictive” use
