I don't think that's the case. There will of course be counter-examples, but the ratio is so massively different that it might as well be one-sided. If a specific power dynamic is split 90/10 between the genders then that&#

I have no data to back this up beyond the anecdotal (ex. "Christmas cake" women stigma in Japan), but a possible explanation is ageism differences between the cultures. E.g. American men may be less age-selective than their Chine

I try to stay at least reasonably well-informed of developments in the space, and the bottom line is two-fold: 1) There is no magic bullet technology just around the corner that will solve all our problems for either energy generation or ca

Step 1: Take a deep breath. The world is not ending tomorrow, or next year, or even in 100 years. Subjecting yourself to excess fear is not helpful. You will be fine. Your kids will be fine. Their kids will mostly be fine. Step 2: Tr

Note that the meaning in the book was almost wholly changed for the film. A big part of the book was that by learning to think 4-dimensionally (via the alien language), the scientists found that free will did not exist. The narrator had n

In LA, 20% of our homeless population last year came from out of state and another 2% from out of country. See slide 24 at [1]. People like to downplay this as “only 20%” which is ridiculous. 20% is a huge portion. As always, though, lack o

Ok cool. So if I had to sum it up elevator pitch style based on what you’ve provided so far, I would call it a collaborative project management tool that uses threaded discussions for deliverables and decision making. Is your target and exp

This is a good question, but it's also kind of tricky because many (maybe most) social charities aren't really setup to tackle issues that can be solved without continuing money input. Let's take education in poor countrie

This is misleading and not very useful. Property and incomes are very local, so looking at the data at a country level doesn't tell you much. For example, in the US there is a massive variance in the ratio between different cities

As an example, average restaurant profit margins are between 2% and 6%. They cannot absorb labor rate increases without raising prices or going bankrupt. Margins tend to be similarly low for many other industries as well. Tech is a massi

I read that comment to be implying that teachers are under paid. Are you sure it's meant the other way?

They could also boost profits by lowering their OpEx. I genuinely don’t know why they need to spend a billion dollars a quarter for a product that really doesn’t change that much and isn’t massively complex.

Of course it’s illegal [1], but it’s also an uphill battle on three fronts. First, you’d probably get fired. Second, you’d immediately get branded as something like a white supremacist or privileged asshole by your coworkers and the online

Again, not the case at all in my experience. I feel like you’re reading different posts and comments than most people here.

Racial discrimination may be illegal, but good luck getting a supportive verdict on that for a white person unless he/she is applying to a majority non-white organization, and even then it would be tough. In practice we now have affirm

I genuinely don't understand how you're not making that logical connection here. It seems you're looking for some document where Mann says, "Look at me, I'm specifically basing my views on the Prussian system rat

This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I'm in the same boat as em-bee - I am not ok with security cameras in public[1], or with public-facing doorbell cameras, either. My thought is basically: if a camera is recording the public,

Prices never skyrocketed, you just got older and aren’t considering inflation. 60 cents in 1985 is about 1.50 today, but a cheeseburger only costs a dollar now. In many cases fast food prices in general got cheaper over time due to efficien

I don’t really think that’s the case - it’s more nuanced. Most Americans are pro space exploration [1], but against manned missions and colonization efforts [2]. I have a strong feeling most people are probably also against boondoggle proje

I’m not sure why you think current public opinion is opposed to space exploration? It’s definitely opposed to space tourism for the rich, but that’s a separate thing.
