Yes, I actually think that's how it works in "normal" (or rather typical) families. We will never know until somebody actually has a poll of some kind.

Also, what do you mean by "the most abusive"? If we are talking the entire world, I'd guess that's how it works in >80% of religious families. Perhaps that number is lower in US, but not by much. Considering how abusive it is, I'd say the most families are "the most abusive".

P.S. in the first para by "normal" I mean that if you ask many random religious people of age 30+ most of them would consider that behavior normal.

I bet if you don't put any bad words in your question like I did in my statement, and simply ask "would you consider normal making child pray before he can eat?" even among well-educated religious people many will answer "yes". Try on your close friends, eye opening thing it is.

The excited native, faster and louder speaking moderator taking over a kind, non-native, slower and smaller speaker.

It's interesting. I did not mean this comment as criticism (as you suggest).

I'm merely accounting that the point of the article ("in the 1950s, the US policies on use of nuclear forces was startling - to our sensibilities - in how it exercised them for power in pragmatic, utilitarian ways") equally applies today.
I would imagine even in the beginning that they, as developers, practiced good procedures while scouring the internet.

Most of the complexity in the WebRTC ecosystem (aside from things that are already done for you) is in the server space. You need STUN/TURN, you need to scale it, you have no idea how exactly to achieve that without spending infinite money. If your clients don't support your codecs, or you're proxying to SIP land (where you often won't have common codecs aside from A-law PCM), then you have to figure out a way not to blow your budget (both money and latency) on transcoding.

That said, if you don't have the client in your browser, nobody gets to even try.

You may think that WebRTC is a pain, but try implementing video chat with getUserMedia and WebSockets, or a custom plugin, and get back to me on how much of a pain WebRTC is.
A bit like owning stocks on the stock market then I would guess. Which begs the question of whether to take a higher paying job with no options and invest the difference.

Here is my take:
Crypto (pick your favorite hash) is used more as a study of supply/demand than a currency. I considered mining and buying a bunch of ANT machines. I also think that the lure of bitcoin was the fact that there would only be X number of Bitcoin to mine leading to an appreciation of the coin because of less supply. But now there are many crypto currencies with more total supply than the current money supply. I eagerly await to see what happens after the last bitcoin is mined.

Sure, dilution can be a good thing, but that doesn't change the fact that it can also be a gotcha.

> The point is all things are not equal. To restate a sibling comment, dilution means you own a smaller % of a more valuable company.

Right but if you aquired your shares under the assumption that you would own the same percent of a more valuable company, you are still being taken advantage of.
Imagine in the future, a really smart shrink AI is invented that can provide useful insight on how mental health of an individual might be improved. Then, everyone who has logs with this bot, or similar technologies, will be able to benefit retroactively simply by having more digital data points.

That definition disallows QoS based on the ISP knowing-what's-best-for-you

I don't think it would preclude an ISP offering "we'll treat your packets either as high-bandwidth high-latency, or low-bandwidth low-latency, based on tags you set". Which, I think, is preferable anyway, because the user probably has a much better idea of whether they want a little bit of data, reliably fast (voip, video games), or a lot of data, whenever it arrives (netflix, downloads, etc.). If the ISP is trying to guess, based on destination IP, port, or packet inspection, they'll often get it wrong. Especially if the destination IP is a VPN, the port is non-standard, or the packet is encrypted.

I also don't think it precludes an ISP offering better throughput or latency to a directly-connected customer who pays more.
I concur. Small to moderate amount of drinking isn't as bad.

It's great to write about your tech. But unless blogging is your business model, it's not great to pick your tech so you can write about it.
I use one of the dark theme.
I've been there. This is not an easy problem to solve - they do have vetting procedures and sometimes reject bids because they think the contractor can't do the job. But companies are pretty good at making sure the boxes are all checked during the bidding process.

I had a relative in the Air Force, and his group was in charge of salvaging programs that failed because the contractor couldn't deliver. They would get half-finished satellites and boxes of parts arriving at the loading dock and then try to figure out what to do. Is someone criminally culpable? Can we do a contract to finish this, or do we need to start over?

According to him you could just never tell - sometimes the contractors you were sure would fail actually delivered, and sometimes the old reliables went belly up or just kept asking for more money.
What makes you think it's potentially irrelevant? Go by any mental health clinic in your city and ask if there are any patients who have conditions that impair either their ability to come in for treatment or their ability to recognize that they need treatment. I agree with the majority of your rebuttal that, at the moment, it's more productive to focus on simply getting this new treatment to a point of reliable functionality. But that doesn't mean that its potential secondary effects on patient treatment outcomes shouldn't also be considered or explored during experimental trials.
They choose to push the capabilities envelope pretty far.

The maintenance hours per flight hour of military aircraft are huge.
I have a little different take on this.

We aren't fighting a major war right now. We aren't facing off against a similarly-powerful navy. So if you see the need for carriers at all, going forward, then now's a good time to experiment. Throw all the new systems in one carrier. If some of them take years to make them work right, well, we learned at a time when we could afford to learn.
I guess it depends on what you mean by "everybody would understand". Most people I know would get glazed eyes if I used terms like those. How many people really have context for understanding what those terms mean? Most people can understand what meter is since there are so many items laying around that are approximately 1 meter long.
They obviously would. It gives them more control over the internet.

While we're at it, let's break through all of the "Bro culture" that's holding women participation back in other fields:

> Aircraft Pilots and Flight Engineers (7.2% women)

> Actuaries (17.9% women)

> Physicians and Surgeons (36.7% women)

And then let's break the fem-bro culture that's holding men back from entering these fields:

> Registered nurses (9% men)

> Elementary school teachers (19% men)

> Social Workers (20% men)
> The status quo is poor people talk to social contacts (eg, friends, family, church community, etc) while rich people talk to professionals (eg, therapists).

For some people (particularly those who have large extended families), that is indeed the status quo, but for others not so much.

If your home environment is not supportive (you can imagine responses ranging from "everybody gets depressed sometimes, just work harder and things will get better" to "grow a pair"), or even abusive, and you aren't in a position to get professional help, a tool like this (though given various other concerns, perhaps not this specific one) could very well be the only alternative to no treatment at all.

What comes to mind though, isn't an automated therapist per-se, but something closer to the "Young Lady's Illustrated Primer" (from the novel The Diamond Age).
The main reason for my response was because of my interpretation of "Given those goals that they had, why would anyone expect them to behave 'ethically' or care about the side effects of their activity ?" which I took as implying anyone that developed if must have been ethically bankrupt. I don't think we can know for sure the goals of the individual people involved in most cases, and we may be somewhat off often about the goals of the organization the worked for as well.

I for one fully believe many of the people involved thought they were doing the right thing. They performed some ethical calculus that let them believe that the development of the weapon they worked on would end up being a net positive. If not by nature of its existence, then by assuming that it would exist and they thought they were better stewards for it than others.

People's ethical decisions are not absolute, they are based on the beliefs and information of the people at the time the decisions were made. Portraying them as different than us in that they do not have the same ethical standards is very dangerous in my eyes. It's tempting to say there is no way we would make the same decisions in the same situation with the same information, but I'm not sure sure.

It's the same reason I think it's very dangerous to put the Nazis on a pedestal as absolute evil. That abstracts away the possibility that it could happen again and that we need to be vigilant for it. By making them "other" than us we assume we could not do the same thing. If we assume the past can't happen again just because we are different than they were, we've learned nothing, because we are no different.

> I think religion works because parents coerce their children into it by denying them basic live necessities if they do not comply.

Certainly childhood indoctrination (even if without this particular kind of coercion) is part of the continuity of religion (though adult conversion into, out or, and between religions is a thing), but I'm not sure there is any evidence that childhood coercion of the sort you describe makes religion stickier.

> The problem with this sort of poll is that rhetoric, for a huge number of voters, has a much greater impact than facts about issues. Even and especially if they aren't aware this is the case.

It's not just an issue of rhetoric. It's that policymaking of this sort is an exercise in cost-benefit analysis, and that's very difficult to capture in a poll.

For example, when British Telecom was privatized in the 1980s, there was an economic analysis into how to craft the regulatory structure to balance consumer prices against investment incentives: http://www.econ.cam.ac.uk/people/emeritus/dmgn/files/palgrav... (pages 4-7); http://siteresources.worldbank.org/EXTFINANCIALSECTOR/Resour.... How do you craft a poll that intelligently asks voters to weigh in on these choices?

Imagine asking people: "should sewage/water rates be cut?" One can imagine a majority of people supporting the position. After all, who doesn't want lower prices? But of course that ignores the enormous cost of cheap water (both in terms of environmental impact, and depriving utilities or revenue needed for capital improvements and maintenance). Indeed, because water rates are generally set by public bodies beholden to voters, our water rates nationwide are far too low: https://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/15/business/economy/the-pric....

I've heard of Sitecore, but AEM. What's that?
The specific point where they get angry is when you do a sweeping reveal that, gasp, "it was [hated bill] after all!", though, right? The question doesn't have to come with a "punchline"; you can just poll people once for their opinions about named bills, and then again separately for their opinions about un-named bill contents, and correlate these, without ever revealing to the second group what bills the quoted language comes from.

Or do you mean to suggest that people get angry immediately when they realize they're being asked for their genuine opinion about something which might turn out to be something they're expected to toe a party line about? If so, that's a very interesting effect, possibly a chilling effect to any potential for genuine informal conversation about these bills.
Or maybe in more self-determining(aka free and developed) countries women actually have more choice in career paths and a lot of them don't even like computers, let alone programming. Unlike nations without as much privilege or freedom which have much higher ratios of women engineers/programmers for obvious reasons.

The analogy seems poor.

Qing's warships are just good on paper, but the men in charge of them lack actual real-world experiences wielding them effectively.

While F35 Zumwalt Ford are all products driven by US military's real-world experiences, guided by their requirements, and addresses real issues. And I have no doubt that these weapons can be used effectively in their designated use cases.

Their failure is that the engineering work did not finish quick enough to land their impact in appropriate time frame.
It doesn't matter how difficult it is to sink them if they can't launch any planes because the catapult is broken.
I'm not so sure about that. Having had an inside view into one such program I can say confidently that at least in that particular major manufacturer's situation, that had absolutely nothing to do with it. It was entirely engineering-driven and about preserving the print head.
We haven't spent much time with those benchmarks. We looked at a couple of them and believe that there are better ways to write them in C# and get better results. That's not FUD but our findings.

This is a great community activity. Clearly, the community is more than capable of performance enhancements, based on the improvements they have made in the product.

If people start improving the C# benchmarks, please file an issue on dotnet/core to get feedback and some cred. We may do another blog post on that if there is some gravity around the activity.

What? I was just remarking that their engineering blog seems to be more recruiting focused than focused on the actual technical achievements of the company. I was not at all commenting on whether those posts were good or bad.
technically, yes...
Yeah, it all sounds like tuning / refinement issues rather than fundamentally flawed systems. "Rip it all out and replace it with steam" is a non-technical kneejerk, not a reasoned response.
Does this also apply to Wall St.'s Bro Culture? Nah, but seriously. Just call it what it is. A toxic workplace.

And now that I'm done addressing the title, the article doesn't seem to actually have have anything to do with "Bro Culture," so much as general bullet points about employment trends with regards to gender diversity. The word, "bro" doesn't appear elsewhere in the article, which makes no further attempt to even define it.

Further, I have a few problems with its analysis. First, the article states that education pipeline changes are unlikely to address gender imbalances in tech because, "Women already earn about half of all college degrees in STEM subjects and have for more than a decade, but those figures include psychology, sociology and other female-dominated disciplines." I don't see how that fact precludes the possibility of bringing more women into the field through education. It doesn't even seem relevant; yes, computer science is part of STEM, but...it's ignored because other majors are also part of STEM?

The article then asks, "What’s behind these [gender] gaps?" and only presents a single possible answer: "One study showed that college-age women tended to steer clear of engineering and computer majors because they think they must be brilliant, not just hard working, to succeed..." Okay, if that's the core issue then what can we do about it? Any suggestions? The author just moves on.

The article's ostensible premise seems to be rattled off in question 7 with a few statistics and a single opinion, but I'm not totally sure that that's really what the title was driving at. I'm sorry, gender diversity in tech is a serious issue that merits serious discussion, but this article doesn't seem to have a solid idea of what it wants to discuss or say.
