Exciting! This has a lot in common with Nock/Hoon

> Except the gender ratio in science/engineering is anything but universal across cultures. 70% of science/engineering students in Iran are women: https://www.forbes.com/sites/amyg…

It's from the Department of Defense litigation release a few months back. Have a look here: http://www.dod.mil/pubs/foi/Reading_Room/Other/ Most of these are anthropology reports c…

> Once you start looking for confirmation bias you see it everywhere. Hah. I can't tell if you are joking, because it's true.

Hah. I would guess that this made its way here because someone posted one on ShaderToy recently. See: https://www.shadertoy.com/view/XtKGDD

Grrr. If you adjust for population of course the top places in the list will be dominated by small populations who've had a particularly bad time recently.

When I can, I try to just not have a computer at home for this reason. I have an e reader and a shitty cellphone that can is hard enough to use that I don't waste much time with it…

Huh... approaching this from the opposite side, when my boss has suggestions I always take it as an opportunity to let them feel some ownership of the work, even on occasions where…

That's dodging the issue though... the issue was that relentless is apparently masculine. What if they say the same thing about dauntless? I don't think relentless has to be as min…

Relentlessness and fearlessness are inherently masculine words? So if I want to find candidates with the qualities of relentlessness and fearlessness, I need gender neutral synonym…

Right, there will be a correlation, but that's not the point. The point is that class as a concept exists very much outside of race. You can easily read the essay pretending that e…

> That's precisely the problem with race in America: race is a decent first-order approximation of class, with all the bad that entails. Not really. I mean in my state (WA), 48% of…

Winners and losers from my perspective: - Linux CLI beats Windows CLI - hopefully I can go the rest of my life without learning to use Powershell or cmd.exe. If anything this cemen…

That cave and beach is by my house in New Zealand. Was super confusing when I saw it on someone elses computer as well and realized the photo wasn't one of mine

It goes both ways though. I feel pretty terrible about finishing my government sponsored education in New Zealand then ditching for better prospects here in the US. Where the size …
