We have hard data on gun violence, proving it's mostly a male problem. But "emotional labor" is both poorly defined and supported anecdotally, so the discussion around it is often driven by sexist stereotypes, as in this article.

Partners in a marriage - or a business, too - often disagree about who should do what. It's not one-sided as the article presents. Now, there might be some common patterns like, say, women reminding men of their families' birthdays (an example from the article) but there are many opposite-gendered patterns, like remembering to check the oil or air pressure in her car, etc. Note how just mentioning such stereotypes is already kind of sexist - it's saying something bad about a whole gender ("men don't care about details of family life", "women don't care about details of car maintenance").

Stereotypically, women get frustrated by some things their partners don't care as much about, and likewise men get frustrated by other things their partners don't care about. Focusing on the stereotypes isn't productive, though, and not just because they are often wrong.

I think you're arbitrarily privileging "giving a fuck" over "not giving a fuck". Try this:

Alice wants Task X to be done.
Bob does not care whether Task X is done.

Let us stipulate that, if Task X is not done, nobody will be materially, objectively harmed.

Alice says: because I want Task X, you will do Task X. Alice does not ask Bob's opinion on Task X, but rather assumes that Task X is inherently necessary, and therefore Bob's opinion is not worth considering. In fact, Alice is annoyed that Bob hasn't taken the initiative to recognize the inherent necessity of Task X, and complete it on his own without being asked.

Bob does not believe Task X to be inherently necessary.

Option 1: Bob may complete Task X because it makes Alice happy. That's nice of Bob. Unfortunately, Alice is seething that she had to ask Bob in the first place. That's kind of mean of Alice.

Option 2: Bob fails to accomplish Task X, because it isn't his personal priority. That's kind of thoughtless of Bob, but Bob is a human and sometimes we let low-priority items drop off our radar. Alice will do Task X herself, furious that Bob did not do it.

Option 3: Bob fails to accomplish Task X, because it isn't his personal priority. Alice lets go of Task X, leaving it undone, because it's just Task X, and her relationship with Bob matters more to her than Task X. That's nice of Alice.

In a "fair" scenario, Option 3 should be on the table at least half the time. But it never is. Why can Alice not let go of Task X? Why MUST it be done? Why is Alice's perspective on the necessity of Task X to be privileged over that of Bob?

Ask HN: Review my startup – Credo360, a measure of personal credibility
What it is:

Credo360 is an open reputation system. It is like a crowed-sourced credit score, where the score is based on ratings and reviews you get from people you deal with. It works very similarly to reputation systems on eBay or Airbnb – but Credo reputation is not tied to a marketplace. Instead, it belongs to you as a person. You can use Credo whenever you need to deal with someone you don’t know. This will help you keep your privacy and avoid scams.

The platform is currently up and running here: https://www.credo360.com

Why we are doing this:

We want to incentivize honest behavior between people. In one-off P2P transactions, there is perverse incentive for people to try to cheat each other. For example, there is a strong incentive for me to sell my flawed iPhone to someone on Craigslist because I know that after I get the money, you won’t find me and you won’t be able to affect my reputation.

This perverse incentive could be removed if there is a “reputation trail” that follows people through all their transactions (regardless of the platform or medium). And that’s exactly what we want to achieve with Credo. Basically, we want to incentivize people to behave honestly, even with strangers, and we think this would lead to a more honest and efficient society.

What we are looking for:

Any feedback is appreciated, but we are specifically interested in the following:
1.	Feedback on the idea itself
2.	Feedback on UI/UX
3.	Any suggestions on how to grow the platform

The last one would be especially appreciated as the value of platform grows with the number of people on it. We’ve already got to about 1,200 users by working with some buy/sell/trade communities on Reddit, but hoping to accelerate the growth.
In my experience (former PhD student and instructor and my spouse is a full-time faculty and program director), if you're a tenured faculty member at a R1 university, then grant writing is your job. You're expected to be self-funding and the only way to do this is to grind out grants and pass the work onto graduate students and staff. And, you pay a ~50% tax on your grant award as 'overhead' to the university, so you have a lot less money to work with than the sticker value that gets awarded.

At the university level, arguably the second most important person in the administration is the President of the Foundation and they don't even technically work for the university as the foundation is a separate legal entity. This person has a massive private army of fund-raising staff that shakes the alumni money tree looking for gifts large and small.

But, that doesn't mean that universities don't also have money chasers. My former uni had a special division in the recruiting/admission office that focused on high-value future alumni, aka, children of rich and famous parents. These kids were brought in for tailored events, private meetings with faculty and admins, and received a general red carpet treatment to try and lure them to the university.

Related, Malcom Gladwell has done some great work dissecting the money making machines of the administrator class who go after $100M+ gifts (far more money than 99.99% of researchers could acquire in a lifetime of grants). And, how this gift giving continues to pile on at elite schools while starving everyone else of gifts.

>What is the inherent value that lecturers offer anyways?

Not so much lecturers but curriculum. I can't tell you how many developers I've met that don't know much about designing relational database models, which is arguably the most important, if not the longest lasting part of business application development.

When you are self taught, the stuff you decide to learn, you can really master. It's the stuff that you decide to put off that is actually important that hurts you.
The difference between an adjunct and a full professor is the difference between a Temp and a rockstar developer.

Adjuncts are a cost for the university, their salary is a liability on the budget line. Professors are a net positive. They have high salaries but they bring in millions of dollars in grants and attract talented students who can be paid worse than adjuncts (and teach classes).

Adjuncts are space fillers. When a university can't goad a professor, post-doc, or grad student to teach the 101 class they farm it out to a Adjunct.

The skills needed to teach the entry level courses are basic, so there is a wide field of individuals who can fill that role. As a result the pay is not great.

Being able to reshape incentives implies power. "Grab" seems like it's just a pejorative.

Ways to fix perverse incentive structures:

* civic power generally reshaping incentive structures

* build something else parallel around different incentives, avoiding all the misteps that caused similar institutions to bake in the perverse incentives they have now

Neither one sounds particularly easy to me. Let me know if I left anything off the list.

There are different learning styles. Universities could stay relevant by offering environment for specific styles or a combination thereof, that no other place does. In other words, for some people a given university would be the best way to learn.

Second, shared resources like laboratory equipment or an auditorium can be of value. A university could develop unique offerings there, that other entities wouldn't willing to provide.

I know of a a 'virgin' who tried to sell her self for academia at the Moonlight Bunny Ranch in NV. She went by the moniker 'Natalie Dylan'. Specific case I know, she was a personal friend and it kind of caught us off guard at the time. She made some money but never did go through with it. Her stated cause though was for graduate studies.

Google around for the Intel DPDK, and you can find things like this: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/courses/cs5413/2014fa/projects/gro...

You can also do a simple math analysis to see it. If you have an incoming 10Gbps connection, a single core machine has approx. 1/3rd of a cycle per bit to do everything it's going to do with that packet. Even going to a 128 core machine and assuming perfect parallelism with some sort of magical packet muxer gives you a whopping 43-ish cycles per bit. I've never worked on this myself, but I saw a team in my company working with it and were pretty pleased to be able to push ~2Gbps through their 10Gbps network connection with a pretty beefy machine, and just about all they were doing was relatively simple load balancing.
Reminds me of when Google introduced MTP to Android with their 3.x version.

All of a sudden what used to be a simple transfer from tablet to PC was a nightmare.

This because while before the PC would read the SD card directly, with MTP it was mediated via a database within Android.

And that database easily got de-synced from the actual FS state if i used any kind of file manager on the tablet.

Effectively i had to dig up an app that was designed specifically to force the database to sync.
Your view comes from a very simplistic model of the world without an understanding of the limited resources we are working with. The internet empowered individuals to engage in self directed learning that was impossible a generation ago, virtually anything you wish to know or understand is a google search away. If you personally require someone in a sweater vest to stand in front of you and speak in order to learn it is not my job to subsidise that activity or his salary.
The funding race is soul sucking, but there are many people who like to play the startup+funding churn game. Lots of $ involved, and some people like the nature of it

Not seeking funding can also be soul sucking especially when it comes to hiring and you don't have enough resources to hire. Of course, if you're self funding, the ideal scenario would be to build something that doesn't require a lot of human resources and maintenance and cost, and run it as a lifestyle instead of an actual job.

In engineering, at least, adjuncts often are teaching in their free time and working a full-time engineering job. They do it because they enjoy the teaching, or because in a few cases they appreciate the extra money. Several of my colleagues do that; my office is next to the guy who teaches advanced undergraduate and graduate level astrodynamics at the local state university. But he is working full time as a civil servant and pulling that salary, plus the adjunct pay on top of it.

You can get away with paying those adjuncts a pretty low wage. But then it drives the cost of adjuncts down across the board.

The problem really comes in when you are in a field that doesn't afford you full-time non-academic employment, such as the arts or sciences such as archaeology etc. and are teaching full time to pay the bills (or not, as the case may be).

If you sit in the back of the class on Facebook the entire lecture the classroom setting still offers the invaluable information of evaluating how well you actually understand the material at the end of the class. Even in project based classes, getting guidance and suggestions of improvements from people that know a lot more about the subject than you is always invaluable.

Obviously if you engage in class you often get immediate clarity on issues that you may have had to research for hours in a different source than your online material.

If you're not taking advantage of the lecturer, then it is on you, and obviously you won't get much more out of it than an online course with little to no feed back

To call professors "lecturers" is a straw man. Sure, I had classes, too, that I didn't attend because the material was straightforward and covered in a text book, but other classes were not like that. I got the most value from class in office hours (one-on-one with professors), and the most academic value out of university as a whole in research positions outside of class (again, working with specific professors).

I'm in a similar position. My wife's a planner. She over-thinks alot, creates lists for everthing and needs to discuss details with me/friends/parents which most of the time I deem unnecessary.

I realized that I can't change her. There's no single solution, but there are a few things she did, which helped her being more relaxed: Yoga, talk therapy, less coffee/more sleep, taking time outside of family. She also had iron deficiency; the doctor fixed this with iron infusions which really helped alot against feeling tired (also keep an eye on iron in food).

On the other hand, I try to be supportive and do not question everything she does or thinks anymore. Don't try to be a therapist, instead help her to fix herself :)

Or, better, you will have school divorced from 'lifestyle' which is completely unnecessary and wasted money. You will have students of all age groups (since it is free) and students who take classes in the evening after work and many students who save money by living at home as well as many students who find cheap residences together exactly as they do today. The school could provide dormitories if they break even but only then.

Why should the school provide housing at all? It is there to provide an education.

Not all problems are solved or can only be seen through a lens of rationality or irrationality.

Many things have to be understood with the heart, rather than the mind, or vice versa.

I don't believe women or men are more logical or emotional based on their gender alone - most are adults who do not continue to develop both emotional awareness and thoughtfulness.

When I'm presented with similar anxiety, instead of dismissing it, I try to embrace and understand it (like an entrepreneur) and try to work through what causes it, and if the worry actually resulted in the bad thing happening.

Emotional labour deficits in relationships (Paying attention, caring, demonstrating it in action) is real. It can go both ways too.

Doing something because someone else cares for it even when you might is a demonstration of care, because most likely you are receiving it.

A lot has to do with becoming an adult in reality too - first being able to take care of yourself, and then others, even when you might not want to most days, but because the long term benefit comes from caring and giving first, and ensuring a relationship lets giving happen easily.

It is true that worrying is like paying interest on money you may never borrow. Worries rarely materialize, not because one worries, but because things happen often largely out of our control, and learning to come to have a decent relationship with not being in control and open to the fact that change is constant has helped a lot in my relationships.

Dealing with anxiety/irrationality comes down to people being able, and available to do their inner work and growth. How we are ultimately results from whether we feed the worrier or the warrior in us.

The mind (thoughts) and the heart (feelings) don't speak the same language, are often at odds with each other to the point that the logicians rule out emotion as being valid, both are far less effective without the other.

Thoughts and feelings have a habit of straightening up when they know they are being watched by ourselves. Awareness is a gift.

I sometimes wonder if when we experience pain, it is in part because we are using our mind when we should be using our heart.

It's reasonable to ask why the title is plural - "academics turn to sex work" - while the anecdote in the article is about a single person turning to sex work, and then there is no other information about how common this is.

The closest it gets to statistics is:

Sex work is one of the more unusual ways that adjuncts have avoided living in poverty, and perhaps even homelessness. A quarter of part-time college academics (many of whom are adjuncts, though it’s not uncommon for adjuncts to work 40 hours a week or more) are said to be enrolled in public assistance programs such as Medicaid.

Which says literally nothing about how common it is for adjuncts to turn to sex work.

On the other hand, I would argue that it is unreasonable (or at least intellectually dishonest) for you to ask: Are you arguing life for adjuncts is improving?. Obviously the OP is not arguing that. Your intent with this question is to shame the OP for asking clarifying questions that might weaken the articles case. If you were intellectually honest, you would be in favor of accurate information.

You have wholly failed to grasp the concept of sexism. "Women are bad at tech" is a sexist statement, while "men are bad at emotional labor" is not. This is no more a double standard than saying 0/1 is 0, while 1/0 is undefined. The asymmetry exists a priori, and so the balance of those statements is descriptive of sexism, not causal.
