2FA needs a more accurate name: OPFEE "Only phone. Fuck everything else." On a computer with the account password, a the same IP as the last time you logged in, and access to the email address associated with the account? None of those are "factor" enough. You need to receive a text.

True. But didn't Stapel admit to it when confronted? Foot dragging and/or denial by the author is, in my experience, the biggest factor in how long the process takes.

I doubt it. If anything, I bet editors and publishers will become even more defensive and slow-acting when concerns are raised. No one wants to get dragged through a legal battle.

Of course the legal battle is still ongoing! I don't think we can discount that people being sketchy suck every ounce of time and energy from the people raising concerns. In my opinion, that's why these errors not commonly found: because the people who point one out have little time to do it again.

At some point, I want to rewrite my version of StatCheck to run entirely off of webR, so it doesn't need its own special server. #Rstats

Someone was forwarding visitors of sketchy bank websites to my statcheck server. I assume they did it for nefarious reasons, but I can't figure out how someone might benefit from that. Anyway, I snapshotted and moved statcheck to a different server. You might need to refresh your local DNS.

That could work. This site is just a CSV, a directory of thumbnails, and some HTML+CSS+JS. Something similar might work for a demo repository.

Planning out for 10 years, that $1500. Not a small chunk of change. Maybe someone's university can offer to host and be willing to allow people from outside of the university to access it?

Shiny is neither cheap nor reliable long-term. A wiki seems right. What's tough is that freemium is in my experience not reliable and often has storage limitations. And a decent wiki host is going to cost ~$150 per year.

A wiki might work for that. People could upload a file, add a description, and tag various categories. What would be tough is (a) managing access so it doesn't become a spam site, and (b) longevity.

I wonder if anyone's analyzed how politicians in power during the lead up to the Olympics do in elections. It seems that the local population is often pretty annoyed and disgruntled at the disruption and cost of the event. Does it have political fallout?

Has anyone created an open-access repository for vision science demos/illusions, tagging VR-compatibility? Seems like it would be a useful resource for many educators and science communicators.

Hey #VisionScience folks, does anyone know of any good viscog demos for the oculus 2? I'm thinking illusions or any principles of memory that could be used at a desk that is aimed at young students potentially interested in psychology

It has been proposed that schizophrenia patients rely more on sensory input and less on prior information. According to this view, they are less affected by visual illusions that rely on perceptual priors. But is this really true?(shorturl.at/jmhKv) 1/6🧵

This is a really glaring example of an effect size falling to zero upon replication. Why did it take more than 20 labs to debunk?

Is the UK voting process (what machines to use, registration, rules for early/mail voting, etc.) determined nationally in the UK? Or at the local/regional level? IMHO, every state in the US reinventing the wheel causes a lot of the headaches.

Let's try being provocative:

For within-subjects ordinal data, there are zero consequences to analyzing it as though it were continuous data. And absolutely no example exists indicating otherwise. A paired t-test is a perfectly valid way to compare Likert data before and after a treatment.
