If a company gets to 50% women in STEM jobs it means 2 other companies of the same size can't have any. Or you'd have to recruit from other kind of degrees. But realistically most companies are already begging for women in tech te

For the rank and file of tech the problem can't be eliminated until more than 20% of the STEM pipeline is comprised of women. This means fighting sexism at the startup level is useless, you better encourage young people to get into sci

Most web interactions are: your client sends a request to a server, the server sends back a response. That's kinda the model of php: single execution, no need to manage memory or resources because the world is destroyed once you'v

The best example is Steam. Pirate a game? Hard to find, lot of chances to get viruses and you have to update your fixed .exe every patch. Buy it? 2 clicks, one download, done. If you can wait a little you get those at half price during sale

The error we're doing is trying for things to be perfect: sending our best people on our best ships to a possible death. We should do it like old times: get team B, C, D and E and send multiple ships. Even with 75% failure we get one s

Because usually what makes a society work is not really seen. I hate bureaucracy but an iron-clad property system and a lot of check and balance to reduce corruption are needed. And this can take decades to put in place as it requires a cha

This. An alternative to reddit would let you make dossiers: related news stories a little like some subreddit megathread do for huge news. So you could follow a developing story for multiple months or years. Have links to aggregate articles
