I think I did that for homosexuals (as a random choice). I am not really convinced by it. So maybe I was more ready to associate negative things with gay people. But is that becaus…

Who are you?

If you think about it, the way nerds took over the world was really pure evil genius. They suppressed the non-nerds with their body odor! By not showering, they managed to create a…

I had read those, but I didn't see anything military right-wing in them.

And which of his comments makes you think so?

Maybe men's rights advocates mostly fight about unreasonable feminism then. If you have any links to reasonable feminism, I would be glad to receive them. I am still looking for ex…

I read the first article you linked to, but couldn't find any reference to rape threats by Men's Rights Advocates. That some women receive rape threats on the internet is an entire…

So advocating mens right is equal to being a rightwing military cult person? Are you really of the opinion that men's rights are not important? Also, ad hominem...

There are many famous female coders working atm, I think there is even a web site dedicated to them. The problem is when you require a "wave". Then people start getting really conf…

"It’s not because I can’t speak as well or I don’t know the material — it’s because he fits the mold so much better." Did you ever test that assumption?

Maybe you should do more fun things with your kid? You could even leave the house together with the kid. A further step might be visiting other people with kids, leaving the kids t…

Maybe they sere not disadvantaged because general standards are low? Actually the topic is a can of worms, we could go on about the purpose of school. I suspect teaching critical t…

"I do believe that all private schools (...) have the right to teach whatever inanity they decide" In a way I agree, because it's kind of like free speech. On the other hand, shoul…

Well sure sometimes work is necessary. But too many people never question it. That is what I worry about. Working at the gas station will only get you through the day, it will neve…

You might want to add a spoiler warning to that, as the actual mechanism behind it is not immediately revealed in the story :-) Still, I don't see why the Predictor couldn't work i…

I'd rather teach how to earn money in an enjoyable way. "This is work, it's unpleasant but it earns you money and keeps you alive and we all do it because we have to" is not really…

Thanks, I successfully bought some via bter

Reminds me of Comed-Tea in "Harry Potter And The Methods Of Rationality": "If you drink it, something surprising is bound to happen which makes you spill it on yourself or someone …

I think you are fooling yourself by constructing a more complex scenario that is therefore more impenetrable. The story already says that the light flashes one second before you pr…

OK, so where can I best buy some Dogecoin with BTC?

The women I know learn and learned a lot of things, just not computer science. Why is computer science better than other things?

Are girls really not given Legos? I find that hard to believe. And while perhaps they get dolls, boys get toy cars, which don't teach you anything technical either. I actually chec…

"So her message to girls is "Hey, you can create apps to use in emergencies to help people." Or, you could end up optimizing ads, working in some badly ventilated open plan office.…

I think in many cases you don't need generics because you can use the interface mechanism instead. The way Go does it is a bit confusing at first, so I suspect many Go newcomers do…

"Honda could use this information and market the Civic as "the best" car for eating at McDonald's." There might be a horror scenario in there somewhere, but this isn't it :-)
