The statement does not imply those assumptions, and even if it did, it would not be misogyny. The fact there is so much discussion about this is the 'issue' here and it's toxic.

Yes, but, there is absolutely nothing wrong with what he said and not reason to correct anything.

It's 'gendered', not 'misogynist'.

The theatre is fun and people would do it if it didn't break the bank.

Ticket revenues to to the studio, popcorn to the theatre. Studios need to drop their pants and share revenues with theatres.

Price. If they cut the ticket price dramatically, people would go to back to the theatre. Pricing structure for cinema is completely wrong.

1) I used to feel that way and then I tested myself against my younger self and was as good as ever. A lot of this could be 'in your head' pun intended. 2) Oxygen: past 30 if you do not exercises or do cardio you will probably pay

Casio watches are not 'cool' because they are useful and cheap as they always were - they are fetishized as a 'fashion'. If we were all just 'wearing them because they made sense' then yes, but they are specifi

Given that Tech Transfer offices don't make much money at all, and patents are mostly worthless, I doubtful of this theory. There simply is no 'return on investment' on most of the work.

I see this kind of stuff all the time and I'm convinced that Academia is corrupt. While working against a Grad Student doesn't seem particularly evil, rather just a bit backstabby/political, I suggest that it is 'really

Oh, it's the worst. And it's definitely not even cool. The car industry spends so much money on supposedly relevant things and yet it's a disaster. App Store and Google Play consoles are also utterly insanely bad. I think wha

Most of those interfaces are total UI disasters - to the point where I think given a leading cause of death is car accidents, I think they are a material cause of death.

Author may struggle with on-the-spot problem solving bits but could possibly be better at other things. I find as I age, my ability to solve the on-the-spot things depends on my mood and background energy levels. The 'magic focus of yo

Most of those are decent questions. Open ended problem solving problems can be done well. 'Where are you in 5 years' is really helpful to understand aspirations aka 'I want to be a Senior Dev/Architect' vs. 'I

Public institutions need to pursue competence. If they could effectively do the things they are supposed to, we'd be mostly pretty good.

"without artificial constraints the only thing stopping you is you." To be a plumber, yes. To be a Doctor, kind of. To be anything really competitive, not really, no. There is a reason startup and regular CEO's are way over-r

That it 'doesn't apply to you' or 'everyone' really isn't the point here. Obviously it doesn't apply to everyone. Have you seen how many people in Hollywood have famous relatives in the industry? It's

No. The draw down is already happening by major financial institutions that have to put a material value on Twitter. They are cutting it in half. It absolutely makes sense to re-established a valuation if there are 'material events&#x2

The CIA will find Sam wherever he goes. Nobody will stand up to the US Government for any amount of money. Only Russia or China could protect him and I don't see why they would. If Sam was really, really smart, he'd have found his

Sam is going to jail maybe for the rest of his life, that is a 'consequence'. Elon is facing a $25B write-down of Twitter the moment, that's also a 'consequence'. They are definitely playing 2D++ chess, and a bit of

I'll happily work in that factory programming and repairing robots that assemble iPhones, which is what we should be working towards.

I can see why you might think that but I disagree that it's not 'PC'. I don't even think it's hugely controversial really. There's been chatter for some time and it's not even a 'sided' political

The neoliberals didn't integrate human rights, pollution, climate change, national security, food security etc. into their framework and so well, uhh, yeah, it didn't work out so well did it? I honestly don't think it's

Bravo. That is definitely probably the only true 'hacker badge' that I would really want. I would wear that little patch on my jacket at the little meeting for sure.

Central planning caused the problem so central planning will fix it? I think this is upside down. Canada has a migration policy completely at odds with reality, and, foreign home ownership as a form of international export which is a deeply

At the level of talent and exceptionalism, and with the amount of money involved ... it's a battle. Please don't think that people let $ Billions go one direction or another because of the genteel rules of white collar world. Stev

Ego and hubris matter as much in physics as anything else. The contention here I think is missing the possibility of a breakthrough or two. We are making 'step functions' now and again in a lot of things, it's not entirely in
