Well I certainly did not study how much your helmets protects you...

But, given the fact that, like I said, virtually everybody here cycles, I'm aware of the fact that nobody in my family ever hit their head in a way that caused any permanent damage. None of my friends ever have, none of my teachers, coworkers or anybody else I know (maybe they died before they met me?). The type of cycling I'm talking about is very close to the speed that our reflexes are evolved to deal with, I know exactly how it feels to fall of a bike and I'm not underestimating anything I'm sure.

But going back to the original point:

So does a helmet help prevent injuries? Yes I'm quite sure they do. Is it worth the bother to lug your helmet with you everywhere? Nope, not for me, and not for anybody else I know, including my 90 year old grandmother.

We might as well wear full body armor on the sidewalks, I also think they'd prevent injury in certain cases, but most of the time it'd just be inconvenient and hot.

that the differences observed are 100% biological with no cultural influence whatsoever

From what I've seen it's exactly the opposite; any suggestion that differences might be less than 100% cultural marks you as a hateful racist misogynist. See Charles Murray for example.

Generally, this type of person lasts up until the moment blind interviews become widespread.

It actually is possible that someone might have the intellectual capacity to work at Google without being a progressive leftist.
Not exactly, but to any competent administrator, learning FreeBSD based on Linux experience is not that difficult. It's sort of like tasking someone to start working on a program written in Go even if they have only C++ experience. You can cope.
There are also a lot of living beings with no nervous system at all, and there's no confusion either about whether they're classed as living beings or not.

I don't get why nervous systems should be brought into the discussion. Most living beings on Earth do not have any kind of nervous system, and I don't see any obvious reason for why fungi or plant-like life forms could not be as big as galaxies.
was it harder before? Are you sure? I think your response doesn't change his argument, before tech was less relevant for the economy, so it was less stressful and had less status. That is why it wasn't interesting for men to get into it and preferred other jobs with more status and stress (and bigger salaries). But now the top companies are tech companies.

>The premise that the differences between them are social as opposed to literal is a much easier way to force the same point

It's much easier yes, but it then steers the direction into "well, if the difference between men and women's preference for CS is just social, can't we correct the 'gap' with affirmative action hires? Give women more chances!" and you end up in the same hole. We can't pussyfoot around it. Men and women ARE biologically different. Men prefer engineering and are better at it, no matter what culture you look at (the Iran numbers provided above are bogus.)

How much more money could Google make if they start hiring based on skill alone? A whole lot.
When combined with the acceleration they are indistinguishable. I got a chance to ride in the full motion simulator at NASA Ames and it used this 'trick' to recenter itself after it had made a left or right motion. Inside you felt nothing, like the system was unmoving but outside it was moving the flight pod back to the center of motion so that it had maximum reach for the next maneuver.

I'm sure the TK folks could manage it. The trick is that the 'tilt' of the car on the linear motor would add an additional degree of freedom to deal with. And yet it would be expensive but they seem to have already crossed that bridge :-)
Well, the author's personal feelings of being shut out of conversations around diversity (and the resulting irony) stand on their own unless we think the author is lying or deluded about that somehow.
To be honest the Sublime Text 3 "beta" has been perfectly stable for me for the past 2 years.
> I was willing to give him a fair hearing until he listed a handful of differences between men and women that he ascribes to biology without any factual support.

Kate Conger withheld the factual support so that to a not-careful reader it looks like the original poster just makes stuff up.

> The suggestion that men and women ARE different is taboo.

Is it taboo? Or is it just taboo in this context?

The premise is also shared by some arguments for trangender rights -- that gender identity is involuntary and biological at least to some degree.
ZoL uses an emulation layer to make Linux look more like something with Unix ancestry, ancestry that BSD and Solaris share. The biggest difference I believe is in memory management / fs cache integration.

In practice this means that ZoL may require more memory to be stable, or may be less stable depending on configuration if low in memory.

I've run ZFS on Solaris (by way of Nexenta) and Linux since 2008 or so. I haven't seen much reliability difference in practice. I've had fewer hiccups streaming video from Linux though.
"Scientific consensus" is a term I dislike, as it seems more opinion-based and authoritarian, and less evidence-based.
Jumping from a few studies about infants and monkeys to "...you can assume that there are at least some biological differences in behavior between the sexes - and thus differing workplace representation is not necessarily 100% derived from social pressures." is far, far from enough evidence and extremely hand-wavy to make a scientific argument here.

> "Anthropologists are simply realizing that early cities took extremely diverse forms. "Clearly, urbanism is different in different parts of the world, and we need to be more flexible in how we define this," he explained. The tropics demonstrate that where we draw the lines of agriculture and urbanism can be very difficult to determine."

It seems that the more humans learn about any topic: our own agricultural history, biology, psychology, mathematics, etc we begin to reach conclusions similar to the above. Wow, this is much more complex than we thought it was. I find this in my own life as I explore socio-political topics also - it seems the deeper one dives into any topic the more difficult it is to, as the article says, "draw the lines". Has anybody experienced an intellectual exploration to the contrary?

You misunderstand. The point is that high-status men are judged positively, just as highly attractive women are.

Low status men and women considered unattractive are the ones who suffer from the judgement.
"Why don’t we want to be alone? Because the stuff that’s down there is stuff you don’t want to see."

Sorry, my iPhone keyboard needs a reset badly. Yeah I posted this once last week and it hit FP, and then I made a lot of changes since then and open-sourced it (by popular demand), so I'm linking to the source code now. And admittedly I lost track of posting it in between then and now, so that was totally my mistake. Wow, now that I look at how it's on Show multiple times, that's really embarrassing. Okay good call, I made a mistake; I'll do my best to avoid that mistake in the future. Thanks.
My guess is that animals are indeed conscious. However, without language they aren't capable of doing what human beings (embedded in culture) uniquely do: creating explanations for things.

TL;DR: Perfectionism is OCPD (where 'P' stands for 'personality').

I think that most people who call themselves perfectionists are not really, they just like the way it sounds. But if they really are (whether because of OCPD or because they are trying), they tend to wreak havoc on things they want to make perfect - including their own lives...
Less status, absolutely. But much harder. We work at such a high level of abstraction,we don't need to care about our resource usage much, we don't need to care much about what the machine is doing, we don't have to write everything ourselves because there are thousands of powerful libraries available for free.

So yes. Before, programming was hard, and low status. Now it's easy and high status, and men think that women aren't there because it's too hard. No, they were there when it was hard.
> This is incredibly disingenuous.

> Much of the left considers simple disagreement to be micro-aggression...

Tone down on the hypocrisy. If you want your side's arguments to be evaluated fairly, don't make ridiculous oversimplifications of the other side's positions.
Yes, it's easy to dismiss him for many reason, but more interesting to me is how he survived the brutal Maine winters: by getting up in the middle of the night and pacing back and forth to warm up. Every night. For 27 winters. I don't know how you measure willpower but that's gotta be one of the greats right there.

Building TensorFlow 1.3.0-rc2 as a standalone project (Raspberry pi 3 included)
He's pointing out that you can use your argument as a counter-argument to yourself. As a result, your point is more or less moot, and all that remains is an appeal to cognitive bias (women enter these fields for "fun" or to find a husband, while men do it for the "real reasons" or something like that [1])

[1] The beauty of your vagueness is that it allows someone to inject whatever they believe is the "real cause" of the problem in the United States, perfectly allowing them to project their own bias upon your post as well. It also makes it difficult for someone else to counter it since they're not entirely sure what you're trying to say at all. An intriguing approach I must say.
Container resource consumption–too important to ignore
There is a long way between claiming there are no biological differences between men and women (of course there are), and the specific claims of differences in the article (which are remarkably specific and tailored to areas of male behaviour the author clearly valorises, e.g. status driven = good, empathy = bad).
Are the biological differences between men and women not rather straightforward?
Prediction before reading any comments: highly uovoted comments will find some detail to nitpick to prove this wrong, thus maintaining the ideological bubble.

Downvoting comments will generally agree with the paper in the article.

Edit: yup, except not as many downvoted comments as I was expecting.
Filesystems are HARD, see the plethora of FS's on Linux that are dead, dying, or horribly engineered. This seems like such a monumental waste of resources, time, and energy to chase ZFS, which itself is not a stationary target. ZFS is constantly developing new features. I think a lack of ZFS in Linux is hurting it. And that wound will only deepen over time.

I was talking to coworker who recently transferred from China to the US. He told me that China is will dominate the US because diversity is the greatest US weakness.

Kind of shocking because our company is about 1/3 White, Indian and Chinese. But he doesn't see that as diversity. I think that is the answer that he can't see. Once groups accept each other as equals diversity becomes a non-issue. It does take work and there are lot of people who are not ready.

In addition, China is not one culture. It has many but maybe they are not as visible? I suspect secretly they are still very active behind closed doors.

In general, I feel that many immigrants have come from societies that are much more homogeneous. When they see US racial or gender problems some think that it's a weakness. I think that these problems can (and will) be solved but I can understand that given their upbringing they see it as an unsolvable problem.

Unfortunately, I don't think mandatory "busting unconscious bias" training will work for everyone. For some, their bias is just too deep. In time, I think many come around but some will never change. Unfortunately, they do hold a lot of power and when you report to one, you can find yourself setup to fail before you know it.

I've said this before: Women, please don't put up with stuff and don't give up. Please seek out a mentor who can help you become an executive in the company. The best way to fix this is to rise above it. It is not easy but please don't give up.

And for the "people against affirmative action", there are other ways to address your concerns. You can ask harvard to accept donations to increase class sizes. When some all-male colleges started accepting women, they doubled the class size. Please don't make it a race war. Harvard really only cares about money (and reputation). Find out what they want in order to get what you want. You don't have to take slots from people escaping a 300-year cycle of poverty. No it is not your fault, but it is your country (for better or for worse).
Do you really need scientific sources to notice the biological differences between two different sexes of a species?
(0) To view programs as proofs, you need to first view programming languages as logics. Alas, when (or even if!) you view any general-purpose programming language as a logic, you'll find out that it contains lots of junk theorems that nobody actually wants to consider theorems.

(1) Don't conflate “rigorous” with “mechanized”. Rigor is a discipline that rules out invalid reasoning.
I didn't claim there are no biological differences between men and women (of course there are), but that doesn't back the specific claims of differences in the article (which are remarkably specific and tailored to areas of male behaviour the author clearly valorises and identifies with, e.g. status driven = good, empathy = bad).
Defending Tor
Yes, because I want a place to read articles about measuring its nature, shape, and effects. I want to be able to talk about countermeasures, so I have to be able to advocate theories of detailed causes---and I need to hear the best possible arguments about why those are wrong.

I'd love to have similar conversations about how nature and nurture affect outcomes, including how race and sex tendencies are or are not swamped by a lifetime of socialization, but our society has absolutely no way to do so without hurting a lot of people. We have other good work to do, so we can defer those conversations—maybe past my lifetime. Maybe try having them in smaller settings, with a framework of trust and love?
Seriously? If you think that men and women don't differ by more than their genitals, then you have to ignore all modern science.
I asked somebody to give me three letters, they picked ABC. So much for that theory, I thought. Then I read a bit more and it said that it doesn't work on people who don't like themselves. It sounds like pop psychology, actually.

Same reason the doctor leaves the room when you take an X-ray. The issue isn’t one time exposure it’s repeated exposure.

The issue with roundup isn’t whether it’s safe if you drink it (most “safe” cleaners, etc will at least make you feel crappy if you just drink them - he’ll copper sulphate spray used for low level onset protection would send you straight to hospital if you drank it).

It’s a matter of cumulative exposure and time. Most cancers, even chemically induced ones take time to become large enough to be noticed and people get many different cancers naturally - if a small amount of roundup cause cancer immediately it would be gone already.

Much like Uber I take issue with the unethical behaviour of Monsanto in multiple areas. Maybe roundup is safe and could be used as icing at a five year olds birthday, but they shouldn’t be ghost writing papers for journals.

Also unethical is allowing someone to ghostwrite a paper for you and publishing it with your name.
There wasn't but he was hit hard for tax fraud really to punish him for his other crimes.
I'm trying to reduce suffering (the delta between the real and the ideal). For that, we need to communicate better.

Today, we generally communicate through natural language ("Hi, can I get a taxi at XYZ?") or software (Uber's "REQUEST UBERX" button).

I'm taking the best of natural language (ubiquity, flexibility, generality) and software (unambiguity, conciseness, guidance, automation) to create a better communication paradigm.

First, I'm getting rid of action verbs. Everything is the description of a state. Instead of "I want to go to the park", think "I am at the park" or better "me.location = park".

Second, I'm reversing the flow. Instead of manually requesting things, you get things suggested to you. Most of communication is done by accepting or rejecting suggestions, like with Akinator or Tinder.

Third, I'm making the real world interactive by allowing physical things to act triggers for suggestions. With the press of a button, you can capture you current location, a QR code, an RFID tag, a picture of a book, some Chinese text, the song currently playing, etc. The captured entity will be processed, meaning will be extracted, yes/no questions will be asked, and you'll be offered ways to interact with it.

Basically, I want to be able to point at something, get information about it, and act upon it.

This is neither academic research or commercial enterprise. I'm currently doing this on my own, but anyone is free to join.

Next week, I will publish a blog post explaining the relationship between GTD (Getting Things Done methodology) and the future of UI. This should cover some of the ideas I have mentioned here.
> I'd like to see values and standard deviations for "On average, men and women biologically differ in many ways."

Here are some values that represent biological differences:

Men: "8===D"

Women: "{}"
>> Openness directed towards feelings and aesthetics rather than ideas. Women generally also have a stronger interest in people rather than things, relative to men (also interpreted as empathizing vs. systemizing).
If this were true, shouldn't women's interest in CS be going up now that the web is all about feelings/aesthetics/social?

Because they prefer to become nurses than CS working in front end.

I think you should think beyond CS and think about careers. There are things more cooperative and empathic than CS.
The first few paragraphs were the only reasonable parts of the entire document. It quickly goes off the rails.

> 70% of science/engineering students in Iran are women

I know very little about gender issues in Iran, admittedly, but I would be very very careful making any social/cultural conclusions driven on a material from totalitarian and semi-totalitarian regimes where decisions of members of society are not free. I mean, how do we now that 70% figure is a result of a cultural choice and not some governmental program driven by whatever ideas the ruling caste has? You can not say it is about culture if it could be just a direct or indirect result of some or other edict from Powers That Be.

Update: also looks like 70% figure is a complete baloney, not based on anything but anonymous Quora postings. Wikipedia has different data (see my comment above) on par with data in other countries. If somebody has any respectable source for the 70% figure please quote it.
The HN community lives in a very large ideological bubble.

The technical articles are good, though.

Even Spiderman has to go back to school
There isn't really a leap. All I'm saying is that we have evidence for some gender differences that are rooted in biology, and thus we cannot assume that other differences have no biological component. Which is what asserting that 100% of a gender gap is caused by social pressures does.
Not really. There are claims that for example men are better at spacial reasoning (imagining/navigating a 2d/3d space, constructing physical things in their head before acting on it). Women are supposedly better at putting themselves into the perspective of other people, both emotionally as well as logically. Or so I've heard.

I'm sure there have been studies on these topics though, and I think that's what your parent comment is asking for?!

Although, making these out to be biological differences could be a stretch.
