I would say you have an interesting article here, and your user poll is interesting too. But like you said you don't really have the data to back up this claim, so it just comes off as really click-baity. It worked, as I've never

That kind of humor and response is off putting to me as a potential customer. It gives me the impression that either this website is a bit of joke, or that it's not really meant for people like me (that don't 'get' that

Organic doesn't mean more flavor. Tasteless strawberries are around for a few reasons 1) you can't try before you buy. bigger, redder strawberries look better, so sell better, so are grown more, and so on until that's the exp

"To be made whole" means to fix a wrong doing, or restore something to the way it should be. They're saying they thought they were making it up to the employees when a customer didn't leave a tip. Which is just them tryi

Oh my bad, didn't mean to suggest it was intelligently designed. I didn't read that full page and didn't pick up on that context. I'll remove that link.

For some reason, this reminds me of the Laryngeal nerve. It's like a natural process repeating itself in different systems. Because re-engineering the solution from the ground up to be more efficient isn't an option, there has to

Duke Nukem Forever would beg to differ. The risk with delaying is that you may not be prioritizing the important things. Because you just bought yourself more time, it's easier to do the part you enjoy, instead of the part that's

Massachusetts passed a law against using your phone while driving (other than one touch button presses) something like 4 years ago. I'd be shocked if this screen was illegal in the 80's.

I agree at some point we may reach the point where this is an ethical issue, but if you had read the second paragraph in the article you would see that this is not happening as you've described: >The brains did not regain anything r

I mean I'm not arguing that all women are discouraged from STEM, and I agree attitudes are changing, which is a good thing. I wouldn't say that the problem is solved and it doesn't happen anymore though. I provided one study

Just because women as a group have been disadvantaged, doesn't mean the women receiving this particular advantage deserve it more than other women, or other men. There's nothing in this release saying they want to offer this to di

It doesn't have to be overt, or even knowingly done. Children are frequently subtly pushed towards different careers because of their gender, many times by their devoted parents. It's a societal problem. EDIT: Here's one pape

I'm trying to figure out on what side of the debate I fall on this one. On the one hand, women have obviously been disadvantaged in many ways, for many years, which is wrong. The gender disparity in software development is well documen

Looks like a lot of those would benefit from a little more evolving. Apparently the generations varied from 50-100. This paper is really interesting, and shows how detailed the simulation is: http://www.karlsims.com/papers&#

For me, how much action government should take in these transitions comes down to how much societal benefit comes from having the transition take place. With energy transition it's obvious: cleaner environment/planet, new industri

FWIW, while I agree this a problem, large box retailers (Whole Foods before the Amazon acquisition, Walmart, etc) are well known for doing this as well. So if that's the line you draw, it extends further than just tech giants.

I'm not trying to disparage fasting, who am I to say it hasn't helped you, or others? That being said you call it a health tool, and then say it produces stress, which has been documented as being extremely detrimental to health.
