People are giving bad reviews because they didn't realize they should buy the mini displayport for all Macbook's after 2008-ish time. Seriously…this shows how broken user review systems are. People being dumb messes it up #stupidity #research #review #system #broken #user #reviews #lemmings #dumb #pub

"I know that some businesses have placed documents on the Web that have gotten them in trouble with the Securities and Exchange Commission, because they contain information that shouldn’t have been made public, even though the people placing them on the Web didn’t intend them to be public. Those were pretty important. At the risk of confronting the citation analysis approach that Google bases PageRank upon, I’m not sure that a lack of links to a page is a measure of how important or unimportant that page might be. While links are one possible measure of a perceived importance, they aren’t a measure of actual importance." #research #Google #bullshit #common_fallacy #fallacy #pub

"New research suggests that misinformed people rarely change their minds when presented with the facts — and often become even more attached to their beliefs. The finding raises questions about a key principle of a strong democracy: that a well-informed electorate is best." #interesting #personal #society #stupidity #research #pub

"In this insightful, witty, and easily digestible book, Northwestern University psychologist Alexander Chernev describes perceptual illusions and decision fallacies that make us gain rather than lose weight. Bringing to life the latest research in psychology, decision sciences, and behavioral economics, The Dieter's Paradox cleverly reveals the irrational ways we think about eating and dieting and identifies seven decision traps we frequently fall into in our zeal to be fit. Thought-provoking and surprisingly entertaining, this book will change the way you think about food and dieting." "The book shows clearly many reasons why it's exactly the people who decide to diet that gain more weight on average. The problem is that most people are "intuitive eaters", deciding to stop eating when they are reasonably full. This only leads to a moderate weight gain (~1 lb/yr), whereas when they start to diet they start relying on other, usually less precise methods. Instead of the average pound per year, their weight starts to fluctuate and they gain much more an average. The book covers many of the psychological ways in which we are fooled when trying to estimate the caloric content of a meal. Most of us are terrible at it and often we are ignorant of this handicap. We are often unconsciously guided by emotions and heuristics that point us in the wrong direction." #nutrition #psychology #research #books #@proof #proof #pub
