Vesti iz sveta nauke

Iskreno, koga briga.

Могли би то да допуне и податком о распореду царских резова по данима и сатима у недељи. Јер сам чуо податак да се гомила тих случајева где је неопходан тај рез појављује петком поподне.

E, to je recimo interesantno.

Mislio sam ovo za evoluciju... mi smo vrsta u prolazu (kao i sve druge), to se ponekad zaboravi.

Pa čekaj, još nije gotovo. Još se ništa ne zna.
@Inđi

i ovo mu valjda dođe nešto kao vest iz nauke. Unpaywall.
fino radi firefox addon, samo što je meni do sada za radove koji su mi trebali uspeh bio u najboljem slučaju polovičan.

Možda će i autore addona tužiti vampiri izdavači kao što su Aleksandru Elbakjan koja je pokrenula Sci-hub.

Why people prefer unequal societies

when the data are examined closely, it turns out that there is no evidence that people are actually concerned with economic inequality at all. Rather, they are bothered by something that is often confounded with inequality: economic unfairness.

to our knowledge, none of these researchers have made the specific claim we wish to make here: that there is no empirical evidence so far that people have any aversion to inequality itself.

We suggest that the perception that there is a preference for equality arises through an undue focus on special circumstances, often studied in the laboratory, where inequality and unfairness coincide. In most situations, however, including those involving real-world distributions of wealth, people's concerns about fairness lead them to favour unequal distributions.

eh, nature.com

koji slom mozga.

Bezveze je clanak. Teza mu pociva na pretpostavci da postoje samo dva moguca stava prema jednakosti, za i protiv, pa onda, na osnovu cinjenice da ljudi uglavnom nisu za savrseno jednaku raspodelu dobara, autori izvode zakljucak da nejednakost vecini uopste ne smeta kao takva (sve dok je rezultat pravicne trzisne utakmice). Ta pretpostavka je pogresna i demantovana clancima koje sami autori navode. Primer:

A puzzle arises, however, when we consider a largely separate body of research in political psychology and behavioural economics: it turns out that when people are asked about the ideal distribution of wealth in their country, they actually prefer unequal societies11. This preference for inequality materializes in a wide range of countries12,

A sta se tu zapravo tvrdi?

Abstract
Do people from different countries and different backgrounds have similar preferences for how much more the rich should earn than the poor? Using survey data from 40 countries (N = 55,238), we compare respondents’ estimates of the wages of people in different occupations—chief executive officers, cabinet ministers, and unskilled workers—to their ideals for what those wages should be. We show that ideal pay gaps between skilled and unskilled workers are significantly smaller than estimated pay gaps and that there is consensus across countries, socioeconomic status, and political beliefs. Moreover, data from 16 countries reveals that people dramatically underestimate actual pay inequality. In the United States—where underestimation was particularly pronounced—the actual pay ratio of CEOs to unskilled workers (354:1) far exceeded the estimated ratio (30:1), which in turn far exceeded the ideal ratio (7:1). In sum, respondents underestimate actual pay gaps, and their ideal pay gaps are even further from reality than those underestimates.

Poenta ovog gore clanka je da ljudi potcenjuju kolicinu nejednakosti i da u svim zemljama zele vise jednakosti, u SAD-u je idealna raspodela tako pedeset puta manje nejednaka od stvarne. Potrebna je gotamovsko-jezuitska logika da bi se od te cinjenice, dakle od cinjenice ljudi mahom zele vise jednakosti nego sto je ima, doslo do zakljucka ih sve savrseno boli kurac za jednakost (there is no evidence that people are actually concerned with economic inequality at all). Slom mozga, sto kaze Ostap.

Upravo, slično kao kada se želi slom režima u Damasku, ali se naglašava da nikako nije cilj da Isis uleti i da se ne želi jačanje Al Kaide i ugrožavanje granica Izraela. 

Све би, али да им не уђе.

Juče bio "marš za nauku", i "u svetu" a i kod nas, mnogo je bilo simpa sličica, meni ova najsimpa

O ovome sam odmah vidio i naslov kako to nije bez ozbiljnih problema, ali nisam čitao. Izgleda jedu plastiku, ali seru živu, ili tako nešto.

Ама још је већа посластица та Брољи-Бемова (претпостављам да није Bohm него Böhm) теорија са нелокалношћу - ако је то тачно, могли бисмо имати ансибл до краја века .

Offspring's Dexter Holland Finishes Ph.D, Thesis on HIV Research

Holland graduated from the University of Southern California Thursday – and will return to the stage with the Offspring May 13th.


Holland's dissertation boasts the interminably scientific title Discovery of Mature MicroRNA Sequences within the Protein-Coding Regions of Global HIV-1 Genomes: Predictions of Novel Mechanisms for Viral Infection and Pathogenicity. It's available to read in full via USC.

Pomislio sam da je Fransoa Olan konačno posle 6 godina uradio nešto korisno. 

mogao je umesto sve te nauke da nauči kako se prave kvalitetne pesme..
