"(2000 movies cherry picked?) Could you let me know how this doesn’t read as implying the author has bias? Am I perhaps misreading this?" That was a question I posed, not a claim. They mention they only used 2000 of the 8000 movie

I find it confusing that you don't even seem to read my comments, and instead claim I said things I didn't. Perhaps instead of accusing me of bias, you should work on your reading skills? I never made a claim about the authors fun

Is offshore money a good investment? Sounds to me it would just be sitting there passively, by the uncle scrooge mentality it would therefore be a gift to society. Money is an obligation of society to return something to the individual who

You might enjoy this paper about gendered glacier science: http://phg.sagepub.com/content/early/2016/01/08/030913251562... I have provided an explanation of why I don't consider it very useful.

I didn't dismiss it, I question it's usefulness. The article itself doesn't provide any evidence for it's usefulness.

In what way do you think my comment is biased (given that I explicitly marked the women's magazine as a guess and an example)? In what way do you think the analysis is useful? I think an analysis like that can be amusing. I am not conv

I am sure there are certain media that cater primarily to women. For example, at least in my country, there is a whole genre of romantic novels about physicians. The main point is that it is not a problem if some product category caters pri

Looking at the movies with > 60% male lines, a lot of them seem to be action or war movies. I don't think it is unfair if not 50% of war and action movies have a female heroine, because there are reasons men are more likely to go to

Why did they google 8000 screenplays and matched their lines, then used only 2000 for the analysis?

I don't understand where employees get their sense of entitlement from. I don't like the working conditions in many companies either. But the correct answer is to try to establish a company with better working conditions. Nobody o

How much do you make? I don't think what you say is true for an average salary.

I think the lesson is more "don't promise your users a lifetime subscription", because it is unlikely that you will be able to make good on the promise. End of life is pretty common for software products. My Wii doesn't

I've heard good things about hsl values, but so far, those properties mean nothing to me. How would I know that hue 30 is orange?

As I said, it is not clear to me that the women were attacked for their gender. Maybe they were, maybe they weren't, I don't have enough information.

That's what my original comment was about - the "harassment" might not be because of their gender, but just "normal" tech discussion that they aren't used to.

I don't think they are lying, just that their perception might be wrong. Or we are only getting half the story - what I often read is women claiming they get hate for being women online, when really they get hate for being radical femi

Well if the comments are like "shut up, woman, you can not know anything about this", I agree with you. I am just not sure that is the way it is - or if it is just the usual critical comments and women think they get especially ba

Also not convinced that it is true. While I had prior programming experience from C64 times, I still remember being stuck in vim in my early days, having to ask my neighbor how to exit to the shell again... And CS should be more abstract an

I'm not convinced that the tech bloggers get harassed because they are female. Look at any hacker news discussion and things can get heated quickly, irrespective of gender. Look at the classic "Apple vs PC" wars and so on. Fo

It sounds good, but nothing is zero impact. If an area the size of Washington state could feed the planet, it would imply that the solar energy hitting an area of that size is sufficient to produce all the food the planet needs. It seems un

I'm still not sure what these Bot frameworks provide? Here the main point might be their natural language processing, but they don't elaborate on it much. What is an example of a useful bot that one could create with it? Assuming

If you say you should receive the same offers, it translates to "being entitled to" receiving the same offers.

They shouldn't have to apologize, it was just a chat bot. Nobody in their sane mind should assume the statements of the bot reflect Microsoft's attitude. Of course the episode points to shortcomings in the bot, that should be fixe

What makes you entitled to receiving somebodies money, though? If they feel they want to know about your home life, and you don't want to tell, why should they be obliged to give you money? It's fine if you want to keep it private

Yes it is unfair. But society compensates by loading off some shitty jobs on men. Maybe in the future it will be possible to grow babies in incubators. There is actually a force in action to make it likely: the attempt so save prematurely b

Would you say it is unnatural to assume that a mother is more likely to be preoccupied with her baby than the father? If the plan is for the father to take over, why not mention it while fundraising? Even so, there is physical strain that i
