I should have been more clear: I was also refering to the index comparison shared by thematrixturtle [1]. Differently from you, I don't assume the idea that co-ed teams will eventually outperform more homogenous teams is a foregone con

In all fairness, I have no doubt the very same thing - getting detained and/or imprisoned under dubious pretences - can happen to you in the US. In fact, given US policing culture, I expect hundreds of such cases happening in the US ri

That american exceptionalism approach will work with private citizen customers. With business customers, leaning back in the legal framework encouraging tax fraud will not fly. They just won't buy from you then. That's why any US

Hi! I'm a Kagi private beta tester and love it. Will become a paying customer. One question: I do remember a page that told me how much I searched and what that would mean once Kagi becomes a paid service. I can't find that info a

I've seen reruns of that some three years ago. The new generation knows about the show, and shitty cars being made more shitty is timeless.

In the end, from a corporate investor level, it's all about the bottom line. Overperformance and underperformance are well-defined terms. If there is a (positive or negative) correlation between ratio of male and female board members a

Slap a badly-designed coat-of-arms on a piece of cloth, then add the name of the entity right above it because the coat-of-arms is obscure and no-one would recognize it (which is the main function of both flags and coat of arms). A flag lik

To be fair, that sounds a bit like a fallacy ... if a diverse board leads to comparatively better outcomes, it's the fact that they were diverse, but if it doesn't, it's the fault of everyone not trusting the female-identifyi

Wouldn't it be pretty easy to confirm or falsify the theory then? See how companies perform with more diverse boards as compared to those with less diverse boards? That information is public. This study [1] seems to have inconclusive r

Dunning-Kruger is the relevant theory here: Maybe we have too many self-assessed smart people, and too few self-doubting ones.

I feel we need a better name for something like that. "Land trains" invoke the idea of railways, and the first reaction would be "d'uh, many armies have dedicated rail lines, what's so special about this?"...

I've put all of my backup-worthy data into text files and just github them. Sure, git keeps a lot of data, with every version of a file living as a local copy - but it's fast, scriptable, and when your archive is some 20 MB, it do

Even the Nazis did not try to resurrect the Coca-Cola brand when it disappeared - they made their own thing and called it Fanta. Just saying.

The problem with micropayments is nontrivial. In order to make micropayments work, you need to 1. have some sort of personal money-holding folder (it's so hard to avoid the word 'wallet' here), that you can easily fill (e.g.

Don't worry, that money is gone. It's already in the coffers of western oligarch-equivalents and shareholders. Did you think all that military hardware we've sent them grew on trees?

Would I, as a Finnish or Swedish lawmaker, trust that promise? The US has not won a war in eighty years, and their shoot first, ask questions later approach may ultimately be more destructive than Russians could ever be.

> NATO is a devensive alliance. I think Serbs may disagree on that. In the end, NATO is the US and it's dependent vassal states. With neighbors like these, I can sympathize with Russia not being too comfortable.

NATO won't accept members that are entangled in regional conflicts which may turn into wars soon (that's why Ukraine couldn't apply anymore after 2014). So Russia's solution would be to start such a conflict, sooner rath
