I absolutely agree that the UK should become more like Islamic countries re its treatment of women.

Actually, Summer's claims were much narrower - he said that boys tend to deviate from the mean more. That is, it's not that men are superior, it's that there are more boy geniuses and more boy idiots. Decades of research show

He didn't claim they were superior. He said they deviate more from the mean, in both directions. For example, there are a lot more boys than girls who struggle with basic reading comprehension. Sound familiar?

by jadamson 3y ago
What Summers would point out is that boys do better at maths, which is true. In fact, in the UK, the only time boys have had worse results in maths was when exams were cancelled during Covid and teachers (hint: primarily female) were allowe

Useless comment without explaining what particular events in history you think are relevant. Are you familiar with how to make an argument? Read any books lately?

People's standards increase as technology progresses. I'd expect a modern Mario game to have more polygons than SM64, too. Besides which, if your program is somehow spinning at 30fps in a menu , I don't want your code runnin

I know trans people, I've including a couple I worked with for years and remain in contact with. Neither would ever claim that sex and gender are the same thing, because they don't have brain rot. Gender is cultural. There are cul

> Trying to separate gender from "biological sex" trivializes the reality of trans people. The reality of trans people is that their gender identity does not match their biological sex, either at birth or at any time thereafter

Thank you, FIDO2 was the magic search term. I'd been going through the "YubiKey Personalization Tool", which didn't say anything about FIDO, when I should have been looking at the "YubiKey Manager" tool instead

I wasn't trying to use it, I was just looking around and came across the "YubiKey Personalization Tool", which doesn't show anything about FIDO2. Now that FIDO2 has been mentioned as something that solves this issue, it

I'm sure you'd be even more upset if those tyrannical governments worked to ban pro-choice messages/people from social media, removing the ability for those people to organize and thus any hope of challenging the laws you&#x2

I'm not sure that every country is run by morons who can't understand the concept of per capita, NZ seems pretty special in that regard. I certainly wouldn't want such people having a finger on the censorship button, and for

Getting a custom URL for a Discord server (e.g. discord.gg/hackernews) requires 14 "server boosts" which cost $35/year each, so nearly $500/year. There's a discount if you have their premium Nitro package, but

Saying the same thing, unlike the people quoted in the article who flip-flop as it suits them. Does that clear up your confusion, Joe? If you're concerned about consistency, there's a pretty obvious place to start and it isn'

In the UK, girls overtook boys in maths results in 2021 (at least, when looking at top grades). This was the first time girls had got more top grades in maths, and just so happened to be a year when exams were cancelled due to COVID and gra

Bit of incel energy from you here. Girls have been outperforming boys in education for a good 30 years, longer than a decent portion of us have been alive.

The crypto element is entirely optional and can be hidden with two tickboxes. Maybe they'll start pushing it harder, at which point someone will come along and fork it, and I'll have to copy my bookmarks over to the New Thing. It&
