It's called the gender equality paradox. The more supposedly 'equal' the opportunities between genders are, the more the outcomes seem to diverge. Scandinavian countries have strong gender-based career divergence as well.

I await Social Justice Warrior attacks using this new weapon. It's bound to happen. Let's fill every organization's charter with vague rules which can then be exploited by power-hungry self-righteous pricks. Brilliant idea.

Look guize, us Asian men don't count in the diversity quota. In fact it works against us. We retain all the 'privilege' narrative-based negative points in Progressive demonology as white men, plus we gain a few systematic dis

To be clear I'm not offended either, I just find the acting horrible, the characters cardboard cutouts and the jokes unfunny.

Agreed. I absolutely loathe Big Bang Theory and don't understand why people like it. It consists of cardboard cutout characters with unfunny dialogue. I watched the Silicon Valley pilot and was on the floor laughing. This is genuine s

Conveniently enough, 'society' as such is defined by the activist, the benevolent overseer. No thanks.

The most amusing part about the fictitious 'social' contract is that its proponents are loathe to respect ACTUALLY SIGNED contracts.

This does not square with my perception but that's anecdotal. Nonetheless I work at a very large financial firm and the rates paid for consulting are 70-80% higher than salaries at the same level. Even accounting for 30-50% add-ons for

Screw 'penalties.' Have you looked at Wall Street over the past decade? Every month or so there's some 'settlement' with a regulatory agency with some fine or the other for all kinds of issues. Class-action lawsuits

Let's all eat each other in this holier-than-thou contest. It seems to be where everything is heading anyway with reduced privacy. The personal is now political or made to be.

Interesting. For me, being happy starts positive reinforcement cycles that enable further learning and growth.

Just game out possible trails of thought. The most 'offensive' one may be true. That's all I'll say.

Yes, but all such questions can lead to un-PC conclusions, therefore you may want to keep quiet.

In Pakistan, personal vendettas are sometimes carried out by accusing people of blasphemy, thus deputizing the state apparatus in your service. http://www.fides.org/en/news/32696?idnews=32696&lan=eng#.UyY...

Yes, heaven forbid some beefy blue collar workers make an honest living extracting useful resources from the ground. No, let's all become Warby Parker wearing hipster app-developers in Brooklyn and SF.

Yeah was thinking of giving a quick overview with a not-so-deep dive into the easier stuff like Naive Bayes classification. But your suggestion makes sense as well. I like the supermarket example. Do you maybe have a list of these that I co

So it fits what ESR says about Lisp? "Lisp is worth learning for the profound enlightenment experience you will have when you finally get it; that experience will make you a better programmer for the rest of your days, even if you neve

Sure, if any job will do. But if you are far more selective, the above steps will help.

Haha. This is the worst possible way to 'motivate' a high-value employee in a decent job market. 1) Find out a few companies hiring in your area through deep research. 2) Contact a few people in these companies to get a lay of th
