As a mathematician I use the generic she as it's got a better expected value if you're optimizing for being right.

Or you just decide you don't need to manufacture that thing after all. There are a lot of situations where "redesign so it doesn't need that version of the part" is cheaper than "build a US factory, train workers.&q

I agree with most of your comment, but the difference between bra fitting and shoe fitting is that you don't want to change the shape of your foot. Most women do want to change the shape of their breasts, even if not consciously: for i

I gotta say, you are speaking as someone who doesn't have a lot of experience. 1) Freedom of motion? I wear a sports bra that flattens out my boobs for many reasons. First is prevention of pain while running, etc. -- that vaunted &#x27

They're cheap and fit a huge variety of sizes, if poorly. If you have larger breasts, you just wear two. Not the most comfortable, and doesn't look as nice under clothes as a bra that fits, but cost-effective.

I just searched this page to see if anyone had mentioned this subreddit. It is really useful. Follow the measurement guide carefully and look at recommendations of brands. I did so, ordered four styles, and had 2 solid wins, 1 ok, and one &

It's more charitable to assume that this would be a set of six+ colors from pale to deep. You're making unwarranted assumptions. To respond to your point below, all major manufacturers now make a range of "nude" colors.

This doesn't make sense to me. I like the independence that transit brings -- I can go anywhere in my city and not be lugging a huge and expensive personal asset around. I can drink and take transit, I can be tired and take transit, I

Yep. We have & mostly don't use a car, and it saves us significant amounts of money.

The word is not really offensive or embarrassing per se. I think part of the parent's point is that it's remarkable how often in the books swarthiness and evil intent correlated, which is a legacy of racial attitudes.

He'll decline the request or say it should not be accepted. Declining the request is just fine, and a reasonable thing to do. There are many mathematical results that are in fact uninteresting (to just about anyone) and it's fine

The sibling commenters here have it right -- and I'll add that reviewing and similarly reading grant submissions are tasks that benefit the researcher as well. Sure, it's work, but you stay on top of the new stuff in your field, d

If your baby has trouble breast-feeding, definitely ask nurses and pediatricians repeatedly about tongue-tie. A posterior tongue tie is particularly easy to miss in a kid (and there are still some docs who say it's not possible, or som

The question is which fringe it attracts. I guess the central point -- the defense of Quillette, in fact -- may be that since it publishes articles that are more nuanced than the norm in looking at questions like why women "don'

I don't know much about Quillette, so I just went to read a bunch of articles. A fair number of commenters seem to be posting about, for instance, "Jewish misinformation campaigns" and "jewish desire to destabilize Ameri

You seem to be conflating quotas and diversity, and also conflating mechanisms and results. The point of a diversity office or officer is to provide a resource for discussing whether mechanisms of hiring and recruitment are fair, and trying

Remember that while family planning may not be rocket science, it does require coverage or money for contraceptives, a doc who'll prescribe them, a guy who'll use the condom or get a vasectomy, and the ability to get an abortion i

"More randomised studies of interventions to do that on a society level are needed." This gets at the heart of things. We used to have societies in which exercise needs were often met through activities of daily living. Many place

If this is something you actually want to change, a few ideas beyond showers: 1) bike slowly (mentioned below; some folks don't like it, but the "slow" speeds up over time. I keep my HR under 140 and don't really sweat u
