I thought it says that women desire several different things, so sometimes they prefer other things over holding positions of power. No need to call it strife, it's simply a decision between several desirable things that you can not al

Alright, how can I make my server support it?

What I would like, in terms of the dad thing, is a nice UI to my library so that my kids have a chance to browse and discover good books in my collection. I don't think there is a solution for that yet. Maybe it would also be the futur

I used to worry about the dad thing (well handing books to my son, to be more precise). However - I don't read that many books from my own dad, so maybe my son won't be bothered that much. Also, many books will be in the public do

Could it just be the increased prices publishers forced on Amazon/ebooks? If a hardcover books costs the same as the ebook, I am also tempted to buy the hardcover. The thinking is that I can sell it once i have read it, but I tend to f

So I finally watched that talk to the end (had only watched the beginning). I generally like Rosling, but that talk seems a bit low on details. Your interpretation seems wrong - washing machine people only use 2 units of energy, the rich us

Em, I didn't suggest the 3rd world should save energy. Stop with your washing machine already.

by facepalm 11y ago
I don't understand what you are trying to say. My point was that energy can be saved. I guess I tend to think more abstract than you. For example, population could be reduced by dropping a nuclear bomb - boom, energy saved. (I'm t

Are they still dependent on MongoDB? I've been waiting for alternatives to become available.

Presumably then controlling population growth is another way to save energy. I took that "how many earths does your life style require" - the evil half of my brain thought "if my lifestyle requires 1,5 earths, then it would b

Of course there is the option to use less energy. That's just silly. If you are an American, go to any other country to learn how to get by with less energy (ie smaller houses that require less heating, smaller cars that use less fuel,

by facepalm 11y ago
Most energy is used for heating, transport, and so on. Your washing machine is not under threat. And I did not suggest any of the things you say. It's all in your head, which went on a rampage triggered by the words "save energy&q

You assume that coal is the only alternative to nuclear power (there are not only other energy sources, but also the option to use less energy), and that there is no way to use coal in a cleaner way. I leave the judgement up to you, just wa

by facepalm 11y ago
You are just creating straw mean to support your own belief. Comparing to other causes of death is hardly relevant. It's only relevant if you weigh two options against each other. So comparing coal to nuclear is kind of valid, except t

I would go with that - the organizer can throw out whoever they want (even without reason). I think society already has a code of conduct. If conferences feel the need to add an extra one, it shows that they tend to think the worst about pe

That kind of thing (expulsions and accusations over harmless jokes) makes me feel unsafe about participating in public events, especially if they have a "code of conduct".

The issue is in the way it is being taxed. For example in Germany, theoretically you have to collect VAT if you trade Bitcoin (at least if you do it professionally). I didn't know that before, but apparently only gold is exempt from th

If we accept ad blocking as an act of war, doesn't that imply we think humans can't help being manipulated by ads? Otherwise, where would be the difference between somebody using an ad blocker and somebody being indifferent to the

Really? Try living in the jungle for a year, perhaps then you'll start to appreciate civilization, even if it is not perfect.

Crystal sounds impressive, then again underlying they might just have "universal personality descriptions" that fit everyone - like the astrological star signs.

But the job is presumably not "being there from 9 to 5", it is to implement X. So why are you saying "they are not doing the job they are hired for"?

Not sure if memorizing a 6x6 matrix and computing that password in one's head is very efficient. Also, shouldn't there be standard encryption schemes for doing stuff in your head? That homemade matrix encryption is probably not ve

Perhaps sitting still in general is not good, especially not for children. My son will go to school next year and I almost feel a physical pain myself when imagine him having to sit still for hours on end. I think I suffered because of that

We should help them because they are in need of help. It doesn't imply we have to support them indefinitely. We should help the homeless people, too, but the issue is not lack of money here.
