I question the credibility of this article. There are factors missing in this analysis, education for instance. I am also weary of an article based on `self-reported interest.`
- tedks 11y agoWary, not weary?
- oldmanjay 11y agoOut of curiosity, how would one measure interest without self-reporting? Constant surveillance to make sure women aren't secretly reading Dr Dobbs (RIP) in an incognito browser window while filling their history with TMZ?
- brighteyes 11y agoYou can measure interest more objectively by seeing how many start down a career path, for example. Another measure could be to look at proxies to interest - such as hobby programming as a proxy for interest in computing, or reading books as a proxy for writing. But, those are much harder to measure than just counting "likes" on a web form.
