No matter how many new languages we invent, this problem of surprise sub-languages being parsed from strings never goes away. It's almost as if program code should be somehow impossible to confuse with user-visible text. Maybe there&#x

I suspect a 2nd factor is competitive vs well-defined. CEO for example is people-oriented but 70% male. Maybe because it's also competitive.

Though it does seem obvious, it's pretty dangerous to go looking for patterns in the data. More scientific to define the criteria before knowing the results so you can have a hypothesis to test, not just an observation to make.

From TFA: "the people vs things dimension is a continuous scale, but in our analyses we only used categories that are predominantly one or the other. All things-oriented jobs have a clear technical component, ranging from locomotive en

Is that really why eugenics is demonized? That the human race (not any living individuals) is giving up its freedom to some sort of fallible authority? I guess, like censorship, people only object to an arbitrary subset of it. People love c

Excuse me. It was this "a society allowing people to suffer from treatable illnesses is completely unnecessary and cruel considering that providing free care to everyone is something many countries do successfully" I'm saying

Its distributedness is still worth something even if only a small number of people control most of it. If they go rogue or get stopped by the government, others can take over. That's quite unlike any centralized system.

Do you have a real concern with eugenics or is it just because your culture demonizes it? We already have little bits of eugenics baked into law and culture. Why not a little bit more? It doesn't have to involve death camps.

Seems like he wasn't a "lowly country rector" since he had a masters degree from Cambridge, was a member of the Royal Society and had many other scientific accomplishments. The rectorship was apparently just a perk that came

Sure, there's balance. The idea that it was working fine so why change it leads to gigantic bloated software that nobody can really understand. As an anecdote. I developed a product in a field where the main players were extremely well

It's becoming like USB version names. If you're familiar with them from working with them all regularly, you can just remember what name means what. But for newcomers, it's a massive struggle. I feel that naming things in gen

Really? Can you point to any hype from the last, say, 5 years that even hints at thinly spread mining or ownership? Individuals were mining on their PC in its first couple of years, but that ended long ago.

I guess you're also not OK with all of society bearing the cost of the 10% or whatever that doesn't work hard enough to get a job and stay off social welfare? Disadvantaged people aren't some romantic struggling hard workers,

That's false. America has probably the most advanced healthcare in the world. Almost every new treatment is invented and made available there. Other countries don't provide that cutting edge stuff for free, they simply don't

Isn't a livable homeless camp a shanty town? Is that really something to aim for as the long term solution? Personally, I like the freedom it gives residents but it also gives them health and safety problems and people are generally aw

You're only thinking of it from the point of view of the dissatisfied person. Put yourself in the shoes of the person "messing with your night rest" without demonizing them. But why do you already have laws and bylaws for tha

Is production of things really a major GHG emission source? It might seem wasteful but things are cheaper now than before so it can make economic sense for them to have shorter lives which gives other benefits. Only having durable products

Not only can you not define the buzzwords you used, but you doubled down and used another ill-defined buzzword that you also won't know the meaning of. You're a human being capable of far deeper thought than that. Why would you wi

Mostly vomiting stops on its own and people don't die. Even when someone dies, it won't break the beliefs of survivors because they don't believe it works 100% of the time anyway. In your case, you even took an ineffective do

Sure. But at least with criminal justice, there is an effort to make it predictable and consistent so you know when you're breaking the law or not - ideally of course. On the other hand, arbitrary rules that are made up on the fly to g

If the system itself is the unit of survival, then individual members' rights aren't so important. That's the communism way. They certainly need to be selective in allowing membership or it'll degrade into a bunch of fre

Yes, whatever the duration, you'll eventually stop vomiting some time after taking the medicine. Sometimes by chance it will seem like a remarkably short time from medicine to cure compared to the duration of the sickness. This is how

Even though the damage is potentially reversible? If you have such a hair trigger for suicide, have you considered it might be caused by mental illness?
