p-hacking

Exploiting –perhaps unconsciously - researcher degrees of freedom until p<.05.

That finding seems to have been obtained through p-hacking, the authors dropped one of the conditions so that the overall p-value would be less than .05.

She is a p-hacker, she always monitors data while it is being collected.

Talentless Hack

A person who has attained a position of importance through no ability of their own. Most of them are aware that they are frauds and their insecurities lead to belligerence when challenged.

After a few beers, we got to arguing about who was the more talentless hack: Courtney Love or Jay Leno. We finally decided on World of Warcrafts Greg Street/aka Ghostcrawler.

p-hacking

Manipulation of statistics such that the desired outcome assumes "statistical significance", usually for the benefit of the study's sponsors. Usually done by ex post facto choice of significance labels and simple reporting of results as being conclusive regardless of calculated p-value. This depends on the public's general lack of understanding of statistical measures and press non-reportage of details.

Also the basis of nutrition research.

Study: "Soy protein was shown to reduce cancer rates in rats with a p <1.0" (effectively random data)

Next day's headline: "Soy Cures Cancer"

Sales soar 1000%

p-hacking = Profit.

hacking the jackoff

The subtle seduction and concurrent infiltration of the mind of an unscrupulous jerk, to gather the necessary intel to shut him down.

Hacking the jackoff shouldn't be too hard, his mind is shockingly simple, driven entirely by ego gratification and compensation.
