What if there isn't a pipeline problem? What if there is an actual difference in preference? For example, looking at gender and STEM it seems that [0]: a. Countries that push for more gender equality see less women in STEM. b. Girls

I actually don't see this is as too problematic. The entire field is murky because it's very hard to scientifically measure human psychology and behavior, and the tools of the trade seem almost laughably simplistic (like the afore

Ha. My gut reaction to reading your and your parent post was "What?! How can they criticize the book. It's pure truth!" Guess I really took a liking to that book. :) But seriously, can you elaborate on where you thought it

"Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" by Yuval Noah Harari. Hands down the book that most influenced me. The book had (for me) not one but several simple-yet-profound ideas that were forever inserted into the foreground of how I

America's attitude towards sex is more nuianced than just being prudish. On some fronts it's also hyper sexual: Music videos, advetisments, going-out fashion, tons of the world's porn is made in the US, etc. My theory is that

Domain names are incredibly underpriced (I'm referring to the "good" ones). With the evolution of the internet, where startups are now willing to spend 10k-100k on a domain, it makes no sense that its original cost was 10$, a

I think that the idea of out-of-the-box privacy/security against even a semi-competent adversary on any computer (especially a mobile device) is completely fictitious, and these hack stories play an important role in helping people rea

tldr: An attacker that compromised an account can maintain access even after user changes password. Exploit vector uses 2FA. imo not a big deal as a prerequisite is a breached account which is game over already.

While I appreciate the work done I feel this is conceptually problematic and is somewhat nefarious in nature, just like "evercookie" that it's based on. > clearing cookies is a common user action, even for non-technical us

You're probably joking, but you have spent more time overall in slow queues than you did in fast queues... This is similar to the fact that "your friends have more friends than you do" [0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.

No (imo). It'll be impossible to tell that apart from legitimate usage. JS can access the input fields, garble them, and send to the server. How would you tell that apart from say, a ticker request to update real-time prices?

Sorry, I tried to say 2 things: 1. Your simple solution: add a 5 second delay after each failed attempt per username OR ip address. 2. It seems that sites that do account lock-outs don't suffer from DOS attacks, for some reason.

This is over the top. Even enforcing password complexity is over-rated. For online attacks, an attacker can't even try the top 1000 passwords on for an account in any major website in reasonable time without triggering the alarm, as th

Similarly to how farm cows get pregnant, with bull sperm being harvested with a machine and cows later manually inseminated, it is perhaps more efficient than the traditional way, but arguably lacks some... oomph.

Mathematically, yes. For all real-world intents and purposes, it's bounded. I sometimes use this very example to illustrate the profound difference between the two which can be easily under-estimated. (That or log(log(n)) which also go

It really slows down though. Log(n) indeed goes to infinity but if you numbered all the atoms in the universe and pass them through the function, the last one would be ~80.

I think a common distinction is that a mystery is something that isn't just unknown, but something that's not possible to be known. Beyond human ability to know. It's used in religious contexts.

Sounds annoying. However I feel this is a universal problem for anyone who is an anomaly. We all use generalization heuristics, and overall it severs us very well. The "price" is wrong judgement for the rare cases. However it&#x27
