Let's stick to the Western world. I'd love to see Feminists travel to other parts of the world to help with REAL issues, though. I'd be curious how they measure power in your papers. But it's a common tactic of (western)

My wife thinks this is what we should do (I'm not the OP). But it doesn't make sense to me. It would imply that whoever says something first is right. Why can't parents disagree sometimes? Might be a valuable lesson for kids,

"What does that have to do with anything?" You'd expect women to be worse off than men if they are being suppressed. That's the relation. You know, stuff you can verify. Honestly, I think you are using the word "sci

Huh what? So you just say "undeniable" and that's it, not even a specific "accusation"? I could also point to countless papers. What about boys being left behind in education, men dying years earlier, more men being

Where is society putting girls down? The wage is not a result of putting women down, but of lifestyle choices. So might be representation in STEM subjects. Men are more often usbject to violence than women, campus rape is a myth that stems

"there’s no way to tell when a marker is running low" Hm, maybe that's a problem that can be solved and earn the inventor good money?

Sounds like incorrect use of Tor? I suppose while using it you still must take care to not send stuff along that could compromise you, like your Facebook login cookie?

OK, but how do I turn it on? Why is it not turned on everywhere yet? How do I turn it on on my router, and how do I turn it on on my server? Can I just write "useipv6=true" in some config file and I am good? Do I want to turn it o

Wall of text. I still don't know how to use IPV6. Maybe it is just too complicated and they should come up with something simpler?

On the other hand, it might lead to users preferring web sites over apps, because only the later would have ads.

Sure, with the existing methods. But since Apple is in control of the browser, couldn't they come up with something undetectable?

Can you reliably check that ads are blocked?

Here is the link to the study that shows the warming stagnation is less than was previously assumed: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/early/2015/06/05/science.a... (by NOAA) Quote: 'These resu

There recently was a new study that showed that the warming stagnation was not that much of a stagnation after all. Just measurement errors (and mixing up of data from different measurement methods). Interpretation differs, though - some sa

Very sparse on details, unfortunately. What makes those frameworks so micro?

I had in fact started a learning project with AngularJS and the very next day they announced that they would change everything in version 2. Naturally I didn't feel like investing more time into version 1.

I have the equivalent of a MSc (in maths). Sometimes I ponder doing a PhD for fun, but it would have to be on the side because otherwise it costs too much money. Looking into data science, now is actually the first time I keep seeing PhD li

"Who need to learn the libraries? They must have some documentation, I suppose." I am not saying it would be difficult. But I lack the energy. I have read a lot of documentation in my 30 years of programming.

Well I can't get a job as a JavaScript developer atm because I have never used any of the new client side frameworks like AngularJS or React. I have only toyed with NodeJS and CouchDB is the only NoSQL database I have tried. I used to

Mabye it is either a ploy of admins to make programmers do their work for them, or a ploy of programmers to put admins out of their jobs? I don't really know docker yet. So if I need a database, rather than instantiating a server with

A seeming eternity ago I let Maven convert apps into war files that supposedly could be deployed into any web application server. What do the new containers add on top of that (or other than that)? Only the option for more services (not jus

On the other hand, as a teenager you can try many things that you later simply won't have time for. It's a shame if that time that could be used for exploration is wasted on cramming useless knowledge in school. I would plead for

I think liberal arts could prepare people well for various jobs. Writing well could be very useful in today's social media landscape, for example. So I think it is not the choice of major, but the associated expectations. They would st

Often when the Marshmallow study is being quoted, they leave out half of the story. Which is that the kids who managed to not eat the Marshmallow didn't do it via iron discipline. They managed it by distracting themselves with other th

My own take: life will end by itself naturally. Compared to the long time that we will be dead, any pain we endure during our lifetime is just a tiny blip. Not worth the energy to make it even shorter. Also second the mushroom suggestion. N

Impressive :-) Actually I started out with 500€/month in Munich, but that was 22 years ago. And I ended up doing side jobs. Prices must have gotten up since then.

"To cover rent, mandatory health insurance and other expenses, Hunter's mother sends him between $6,000-7,000 each year." That's actually a little bit low for Munich. I think two or three times that would be more realist

Well at least people readily live next to solar power cells and even install them on the roof of their houses. Not claiming it is the solution for everything. But coal and nuclear power are not the only power sources (energy efficiency is a
