You make a good point, there's a lot of distribution and men didn't necessarily go out, hunt, and spend the rest of the day relaxing by the campfire either. The poster further up called it 'pop-antropology' and that is

I've personally found that when I look at the studies used to show the negative effects of Facebook, the data used is pretty poor. Often Facebook isn't part of the study - sometimes it's 'social media' and it'

I wish that was the banner at the top of every political discussion forum. Maybe with some auto-flagging on posts which can be condensed down to "everyone who disagrees with me is an idiot" The world would be a better place.

The problem specifically is "just". "Why don't they use containers instead of tarballs?" is a excellent question which can help you understand a system better. "Why don't they just use containers instead o

I'll stretch the analogy and say having a supportive spouse without being a supportive spouse is Kryptonite. I'll assume that should the OP's wife express that she was at the breaking point that he would be similarly support

I can't imagine how we could prevent a duly elected representative of a congressional district from being sworn in if they refuse to sell their stock portfolio. It would amount to disenfranchisement.

This sort of 'gotcha' culture is frankly more destructive than the some supposed 'cancel' culture. "The mayor of San Francisco was maskless at a club? I guess everything I thought I knew about masks was a lie!&quot

"Delusions" Things we know instinctively are frequently wrong. It leads to us discarding any information that goes against our intuitive beliefs. It leads to use thinking that anyone who disagrees with us is mentally deficient.

I like confluence as a _temporary_ discussion space. Put up some mockups, put up some sequence diagrams, suggest external components and get feedback. It doesn't entirely eliminate design meetings, but it can serve as a overview so p

I think the relationship between food and recycling is justifiably unclear to most people. Can you recycle cans of refried beans? Prior to today I would have thought yes, but now I see I'm supposed to rinse them. For refried beans I&

You make very good points - sometimes the best discussions are well down in the comments. Currently, while men hold the majority of the economic and political power in the US. From a purely Machiavellian viewpoint, why should they hire anyo

You bring up the really interesting question - is discrimination justified? If it makes the team better, if it makes the product better, if it makes the company better, then maybe the right thing to do is hire the fun white guy instead of

I remember the study about "second syllable names" and I remember a lot of people justifying it. "A good candidate would use a 'professional' sounding name".

Budget isn't a problem. I'd happily take a pay cut, my expense are minimal. There just aren't that many employers interested in hiring someone for fewer hours.

Are you hiring them because you know them and you trust them? That is not discrimination. Are you hiring them because you want to win the tech-company beach volleyball tournament? That's discrimination. You could probably get away w

Thank you for pointing that out, it is an unfortunate shorthand and I should stay away from it. I tend to use it as a hand-wavy way to say "fair-skinned Americans who probably celebrated Christmas or Hanukkah growing up" but I&#x

It is ignorance that borders on arrogance. They must know that Buddhism is over two thousand years old. They must know that it is central to many cultures all over the world. Yet they somehow are confident that their way is the 'right
