Why only the women? Aren’t men working in the same conditions? I’ve read the article, but it doesn’t explain why the disparity between sexes.

The same EU that doesn’t allow any public agencies to collect statistical data that goes against their narrative in social sensitive areas, is now threatening to fine a private company because they don’t provide them access to their engagem

I don’t mind for AI helping me browsing. Besides, all other got in the hype anyway. Maybe this way Vivaldi can finally allocate resources to workspaces sync across devices. Only 2 browsers do that: Edge and Arc. And Arc doesn’t work in Linu

Obesity rates in the USA are 42% while in Norway they are 14%. Not only that increases the death rates exponentially, but it also diverts money away from other healthcare areas. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_c

Of course this is anecdotal but it's obvious for me I do share several personality traits with my parents. I can see the same in many of my close acquaintances. Of course this warrants a lot of social issues we simply don't want t

A find this topic fascinating, and several times in the past I tried (mostly unsuccessfully) to buy items (mainly clothing and shoes/boots) that are made to last a long time. Is there any project that tracks these high durability items

I don’t need 7400, but I do have about 50-100 open in different spaces (personal/work/hobbies). What Firefox lacks for me, is the ability to sync these open tabs to different devices seamlessly. The only browsers that do this well

We clearly failed in the battle against Marxism. I come from a country where the exaltation and apology of communism, was ever present in the school system. It was not part of the curriculum, but teachers would praise communism openly in th

Go seems like a really great balance between speed, ease of code and safety. I keep trying to get into it, but I keep bumping into half finished/abandoned libraries for basically anything I try to do. Tried to use it for machine learni

For me the straw that broke the camel’s back was Amazon Prime wasting billions in shows that almost no one wants to see (Rings of Power, anyone?) and now realizing they have to show me ads to stop them from hemorrhaging money. No, I’ve gone

This measure, as most welfare measures, punishes the middle class - the ones that pay, out of their own pocket the taxes that fund the welfare state. It’s the same story all over Europe: the middle class sees close to 50% of their income ta

It’s high time we accept that social sciences have nothing scientific about them, and are just a mix of political ideology and astrology. I already said this before and I’ll repeat it. Media constantly portraying social sciences and their f

Interesting, I didn't know this was so sought after. I actually have one for sale (the 40GB PCIe one), but I haven't got to list it on eBay due to lack of time yet (and because I didn't think there was so much interest in it)

I notice they are avoiding images of people in the announcement. I wonder if they are afraid of the same debacle as google AI and what they mean by "safety" is actually heavy bias against white people and their culture like what h

I confess my ignorance about the topic. What is the difference to the electric one? The process is the same up until the point where the hot air with the moisture passes to some sort of cold condenser to transform it back to liquid state? D

My country is (or was) profoundly catholic. It was not well looked upon to remarry after getting widowed. My grandmother never remarried, so she never had any more children.

Unfortunately, I'm the only child in my family. I do have 7 cousins, though. And 2 of them (the ones raised by my grandmother that lived next to my house and that I saw almost everyday during my childhood) are the family closer to sibl

I don't think that's a real issue. The innovation isn't happening on the Mid Dishes. This is well understood tech that's been around for several decades. There are some interesting advances in the Low antennas, but those
