The feeling of being stared at: An analysis and replication
When data generated in “the feeling of being stared at” experiments are adjusted to account for response biases, hit rates associated with responding “yes” when being stared at, and “no” when not being stared at, are virtually identical. Experiments conducted where the possibility of such cues were reduced showed similar results, arguing against sensory artifacts. In a computer-based replicatio...
متن کاملIssues with Local Naming at a Global Scale (Abstract)
Today’s Internet naming system is founded principally on the notion that a human needs to communicate with a remote, well-known server. The Internet’s Domain Name System (DNS) works extremely well in that context; for example: a user Alice can simply type www.google.com into their web browser, or [email protected] into their E-Mail software and “magic happens” in her eyes as the web page is displ...
متن کاملBeing human is a gut feeling
Some metagenomic studies have suggested that less than 10% of the cells that comprise our bodies are Homo sapiens cells. The remaining 90% are bacterial cells. The description of this so-called human microbiome is of great interest and importance for several reasons. For one, it helps us redefine what a biological individual is. We suggest that a human individual is now best described as a supe...
متن کاملTransit directions at global scale
In this article I present a novel approach to integrated ground and air public transport journey planning, operating at continent scale. Flexible date search, prerequisite for long distance trips given their typical low and irregular service frequencies, is core functionality. The algorithm, best described as timed branch-and-bound (BBtime), is especially suited for irregular and poorly structu...
متن کاملContextualizing the global relevance of local land change observations
To understand global changes in the Earth system, scientists must generalize globally from observations made locally and regionally. In land change science (LCS), local field-based observations are costly and time consuming, and generally obtained by researchers working at disparate local and regional case-study sites chosen for different reasons. As a result, global synthesis efforts in LCS te...
