I don't think it's "more opportunities". I'm sure there's a statistics on how much women do not want to be electricians, plumbers, etc., which is fine, just saying it's individual choices not lack of oppor

It's not impossible, but boys with only female role models do not develop their masculinity, which is important for self-control considering males can be physically dangerous. I believe there is a link between criminal behavior (which

I haven't looked at the study, just the thread, and I'm just pointing out that there is more to work than just raw contributions, at least if we want to treat people like people and not just machines that are meant to just increas

This looks like it's mostly an org problem that doesn't seem they controlled for. I've been part of several orgs that enable meaningless work. They insist you document everything and that you make a big deal out of trivial wo

That's a fair concern but it seems the tech has matured a lot and it's at least as safe with maybe the dangers of unforeseen natural disasters like what happened with Fukushima. Solar is still being held back by battery tech, at l

Nuclear energy seems to have been mostly opposed by the same people who want green energy. We can have the best of all worlds, no need to slow down on renewables, but there was some serious hesitation on nuclear up until recently. I'm

Amazing! I'm thinking this could be the best way for multi-platform games in the near future, but I'm also nervous about giving even more surface area to browsers and the browser stack.

Discs are just storage mediums, and has no real advantage over SSDs or any other more efficient form of storage. This is really about the perception of ownership, and how owning a disc symbolizes the ownership of the software in it. This is

I would love for the U.S. to standardize software engineering like electrical engineers. It wouldn't change that much, as most companies would end up switching to "developers", but it would make it clear when a business wants

It's not so much that there are wrong engineering techniques as much as engineers being heavily constrained and not allowed to exercise their full expertise. An example of where this is not so much the case would be areas like civil en

It's hard to generalize as domains vary greatly, but in general abstractions can account for more than enough extensibility unless the requirements are extremely vague and not well defined. This tends to be the case of why so many chan

My perspective is that your typical business does not incentivize, or care to allow their engineers to do "proper" software engineering, which is effectively a proper abstraction of the requirements and its implementation from scr

That's slightly different. Tribes are relatively small and straight forward. I agree there is probably some foundation of tribalism on which religions are built upon, but the religious mental framework is what has allowed civilizations

I think they start as that, and then go through various stages throughout its growth until it's squashed by another one or prevails and becomes the default belief system of a civilization.

I sometimes wonder if it's inevitable for large companies to end up in a kind of cult. Human beings are religious by nature, despite the denial from modern and Enlightenment theories that derive the nature of humans as reason. After re

I guess no one would stop someone from distributing, but presumably there isn't a huge market for these games and therefore no incentive. I was thinking it had more to do with preventing competition or something like that.

Sure, I was just wondering their reasoning behind it. Surely it can't be blatantly about making money, but maybe it is.

I don't see where they outline the difference between games and books. This makes no sense at all. I can see where they would draw a line with proprietary IPs like old Nintendo games, but there's probably hundreds of thousands of

Well, not quite. Intelligence is the measurement of an agent's ability to create predictive models. Stories are not always predictive and as such will not help you survive or predict the future. Math is an example of something that req

I think part of the problem is how companies shove everything and anything into the engineering role. They have long lists of all your 'core priorities', many of which have nothing to do with engineering. They confuse engineering

I literally stated the opposite of that.. it keeps re-emerging because it takes advantage of feelings. People want to fix the problems of the world, communism offers solutions that don't work but sound nice.

All of the above, and they're linked together. Communism requires centralization of decision making, which creates huge bottlenecks, stunts growth, and also becomes a single point of failure that a corrupt leader can easily takeover. T

by proc0 2y ago
The reason why communism is always destined to fail is because it cannot process large amounts of information from the market. It's like a single core CPU trying to run a large operating system with millions of processes and services.

US is doing nothing. No country has the "right" to trade with any other. Maybe Cuba should start admitting their system does not work.
