There are a number of studies testing this, and the consensus that emerges from meta-analysis is that women tend to be liked, or respected, but rarely both. Cuddy (2005) is the citation I've memorized for this. In contrast, men have no

Paywalls are often done with cookies, so right clicking and opening in private browsing mode will get past them. It worked for me.

Organized political disruption of markets and business is terrorism. These attacks have caused financial losses and will continue to do so. Everyone was attacked, injured, and threatened.

Personally, I think this article is very negative, and I think that if the author themselves is unable to live in accordance with the polemic they forward, they should reconsider its wisdom. This isn't a "gotcha." The fact th

This ignores the fact that discrimination in a career field deters women from being interested in the field to begin with, creating a self-sustaining vicious cycle. Within broad notions of a career, for example a "career in law" o

It's hard to "home in" on something that's only in the last line of the article. But before coming to the comments, I too chuckled a little at the irony of an ad for an ebook being disguised as a polemic against consumer

What are you saying the comment parent should have bought? TextSecure is free-libre-open-source software, it isn't sold anywhere. It depends on the Google Play Services, and cannot be run effectively if the framework is not installed o

With respect, I think that it's best for people to find these things on their own. The crimethought comes to you naturally at that point, without your being able to distinguish it as crimethink until it's too late.

Why do you think there's a purpose? The real world is not a narrative. It doesn't have a beginning, middle, and end; there is no rising or falling action; there are no stunning third act reveals; there are no happily ever afters.

This is a very wrong-headed view. There are a variety of other outcomes. For example, we could develop fusion power and perfect generalized manufacturing (3d printing), and have a massive die-off where only the top 1% of wealth holders surv

But this is not applying an idea from one area to another area -- it's taking the pre-existing idea and just applying it again. There isn't any novelty here.

The United States is the way it is because this is the only way to survive within the framework of competitive capitalism. European attempts at cultural protectionism will fail as market pressures force them to adopt American customs and ha

I think this is a totally different question and issue (the right to die and to determine the manner of one's death) than the one at hand (the mental health problem of suicide).

I think the comment parent was not referring to hard power in the geopolitical sense, but rather real power or decision power in the more abstract sense. No corporation can arrest you for smoking pot, but corporations could decide for smoki

This is hacker news. Why would anyone here ever take time off of work? If you're still employed (and who is?) by some BigCorp you can at least have side projects in your off time. But most of the people here are founding one or more st

Well, time = money, so unless you make that every week and have 0 daily prep/cook time, allowing you to amortize the bulk prep time across the week, Soylent probably saves you at least 8 hours a week assuming 20 minute prep/cook t

What do you mean by "sound"? Obviously it can't mean "effective" because as you point out these plans weren't the case.

You don't need to be grand marshall to play PvP. When I played WoW you could just hang out at level 19 and keep playing early-level PvP as long as you wanted to. And the simple challenge that PvP is is always fun. Gear is one part of p

It's important to note that while MMO's don't explicitly incentivize exploration, some of the memories my friends most enjoyed in WoW were glitching underneath Stormwind, into unimplemented areas in raids, all over the place.

But if you're truly a talented artist or musician, you can always make a living. It doesn't need to be easy and it doesn't need to be possible for everyone to "create content."

This is sort of an easy thing for djb to say, but the truth is that most people are not good at creating things. Most people are barely useful for "work". The average keeps getting higher, but half the population is still and wi
