Of course my experience is different. If you want browse the web, do some development and stay within those confines it can work. But that has been true for probably at least a decade and is true for any other mainstream operating system as well. If that is what you want you should probably go with Chrome OS. But people usually expect to be able to do more than that.

Quality isn't an absolute measure. If you were to plot the security holes in the Linux kernel on a timeline you will most likely find that there is at least one the majority of the time. Security is essentially a percentage of how hard something is to discover and exploit. And you don't know what that percentage is until someone go looking.

The same is essentially true for the rest of the the operating system. Your average user can be perfectly happy e.g. clicking on random links and executing random code without apparent consequences. They will rave about Linux until reality catches up with them. Whether that is software conflicts, (lack of) backups, security or just maintenance in general. Usually at that point they get disillusioned and switch to something else. That is why we have the perpetual "year of the Linux desktop". Because people leave at a similar rate that they join.

By working in enterprise Linux I, involuntarily, get to see all this at different points in time. Not just from my own perspective as someone who has largely accepted these problems, or from the perspective of a user that is excited about Linux until they aren't. It is from this perspective, and because I know how hard it can be to do things that are outside of the default, that I say that the other big operating systems are better overall.
No, the person who said that was wrong on both counts. Turns out they were all wrong but that doesn’t really matter.
Yes, but most people don't cite a man's gender or appearance as a reason for his wrongness. Just from the sampling in the article we have two good examples of criticisms a man will never see:

> Maybe women look at math problems differently than men.

> You are the goat!

I'm sure there were many others.
So, technically, the World's Smartest Woman could be wrong (not in this case, because of the mathematical proof, but according to the title). Being smart doesn't mean you're always right, especially when there is no good answer with the available information.

But clearly, the responses show sexism at its finest, or worst. Partly, though, many of the men refusing the argument probably honestly disagree with the counter intuitive answer, but they seem to rationalize it with their negative beliefs.
Update on Our Planned Move from Azure to Google Cloud Platform
So this is a psychology puzzle rather than pure math?
I think the easiest way to grasp this without getting into the math is to make such a counter intuitive problem intuitive again.

Let's change the number of doors !

First, I'll rephrase the original problem
================================================

You have 3 doors, 1 hides a car, all others hide goats.

You pick one door, then __ALL doors you have NOT selected AND that hide goats are revealed, except one__

Here it's only one door because we have a total of 3. But it's one door that is indeed, ALL except one, for this particular situation.

Do the same, but with 100 doors
====================================================

You have 100 doors, 1 has a car, all others have goats.

You pick one, then __ALL doors you have NOT selected AND hide goats are revealed, except one__

Now you get:

- 1 selected, 99 not selected => the car is most probably among the 99 ones.

- Monty reveals 98 goats

- 1 selected, 98 goats, 1 not selected => the car is most probably in the later one.
I have heard the occasional comment about men being too irrational...
Visualizing ZFS Performance
The key aspect, I think, is in writing the simulation oneself. At one point, I was attempting to explain the Monty Hall problem, and wrote a simulation out of frustration. It failed to convince the other person, who accused me of subverting the simulation such that it would give the answer that I wanted.

I'm wondering if gambling would be a good way to go about it. Start with $10 each, and alternate who plays the "host" of Monty Hall. One person is only allowed to switch, and another is only allowed to stay. For each correct answer, take $1 from the other person.

Hmm, maybe to sweeten the deal, the person who switches gets $2 for a win, but the person who stays gets $3. That way, it would show that even with 50% better payout, it doesn't overcome the 2x difference in odds.
The problem is that there is no good solution for tiling window management on OS X, even with third-party software. The parent may not have stated it that way, but you’re being over sensitive if you’re actually offended by their comment.

Personally I feel like I’m using a toy when I have to use a non-tiling window manager. It may not be for everyone, but the display server or desktop environment should at least provide an interface to allow someone else to implement it.
Gamergate wasn't about telling a women that she was wrong. It was gamers reacting to disdain and collusion from the journalists that were covering their industry.

The "Gamers are Dead" articles were authored by many different journalists, not just women. Perpetuating the narrative that it was an attack on women is exactly they type of behavior that keeps Gamergate alive.

Yes, if you selected one of the remaining doors at random you have a 50% chance of winning.

If you always switch to the door you didn't initially choose your odds of winning rise to 2/3.
I always start explaining it like this. "There's a one in three chance you guessed right on the first try."

And that just doesn't change, even if Monty Hall opens a door.

So not only is there a two-in-three chance you guessed wrong on the first try. Monty is helpfully offering you a chance to switch to the correct/winning choice in the second round.

I just confirmed that Reg D doesn't apply to money market funds in Fidelity cash management accounts, since technically, they're not bank accounts, but brokerage accounts with banking features.

This is probably why Schwab doesn't offer the same feature, because Schwab is a bona fide bank and offers true bank accounts to complement their brokerage accounts.
Gamergate was most definitely about harassing women. "Ethics in games journalism" was the excuse for lengthy, focussed harassment campaigns against specific women who dared criticise videogames. If it really was about ethics in videogame journalism it wouldn't have started with a review about a free game.
I remember this incident well.

Ascribing this all to gender seems like too broad of a brush, and with very little evidence to back it up either.

There were likely a multitude of motivations for people to write in and correct her, but isn't it natural for us to want to take someone down a peg when they are advertised as "all that" (in this case - smartest person alive), and they seem obviously wrong about something?

This is a statistics problem that many people who have had statistics training have been wrong about.

Seems like the setup for a perfect storm.

It's the convenience. Bad food is much more convenient in the US than good food. In other parts of the world, south east asia for example "good" food is as equally if not more so convenient than bad food. And even bad food actually tends to come in smaller portion sizes, making it less bad overall.
I hear this a lot. And mostly from Ubuntu victims. I have not reinstalled my Fedora XPS 13 laptop for over 4 years. I have clean upgraded 3 times.

Fedora is spectacular and has been spectacular for many years now. The driver support is brilliant. It was one of the first distros to have absolutely seamless integration with RAID mode NVME (which was something the XPS set it to).

I will be very surprised if you have to "tweak" your laptop. Everything that you have in OSX is already there - including nightmode, etc... the works.

And here's the cool part - customizing Fedora is a browser extension away! http://extensions.gnome.org/

Fully disagree. That review was done without the disclosure that the reviewer and reviewee were at the very least good friends. That is ethics in journalism 101.

If you think that jails should not exist at all, then, granted, nobody should be paid to run them. If jails should exist then presumably you can make a list of the things you would like to see in them, and whoever can best realize that list could be justly rewarded for doing it on your behalf.
Wow, are you serious?
I really like the idea of a new markup format. To me markdown has been very unintuitive in some ways. I can never remember whether more # means higher or deeper header level. Or which of - - - or === makes a first or second level header. But since markdown is first class citizen at github, I don’t think we’ll ever be able to see any real competition rise up (even though github has first class support for others, markdown is the clear winner). And I’ve never heard anyone else mention these confusions so maybe everyone else is fine with it and I’m the only one who wants an alternative.

In India, KFC, McDonalds, and Dominos have started creeping up. They're expensive, relative to middle class income. So people have started associating it with classy upper class food.

It's good they're expensive though; most folks can't afford to eat there once or twice a month.

But the per capita income has been increasing steadily, and there's no sign of this high-class association of fast food chains slowing down. So very soon, you'll have a huge swath of population feeding themselves fast food, and an obesity crisis looms over Indian cities.

How's it in China btw?

Personally, I don't think the larger response was because of gender. Well, a couple clearly were, but there's always outliers in any group. I think the vast majority were due to her status... the smartest person in the world. That leaves people chomping at the bit to disprove it and correct any little mistake.

That exists in any field, sadly. Top draft picks are scrutinized every year in sports. Every presidential gaffe gets its own 'mightier than thou' correction article. Anecdotally, I knew a mechanic who couldn't wait to read ClickNClack to find any little mistake and claim superiority.

I think a discussion would be incomplete without remembering The Little Prince, Wind Sand and Stars. Time for me to read Saint-Exupery again.

If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea. -- Antoine Saint-Exupery

One biographer wrote of his most famous work: "Rarely have an author and a character been so intimately bound together as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and his Little Prince," and remarking of their dual fates, "...the two remain tangled together, twin innocents who fell from the sky." -- From Wikipedia
Stuff I've Learned at Microsoft (2009)
But Monty's only being helpful if I guessed wrong. If it actually was behind door #1, Monty's trying to entice me into picking a goat, and basically being a dick. This is also assuming he could've just opened door #1 right away if it was the correct answer and obviated this whole mess.

Monty's free will (an unknown) underpins this entire argument- what choices does he have, and why does he even make me choose a door instead of giving me the car (and the goats) outright?

Maybe from a statistical point of view it's better to have Monty pull this shtick, but something that's helpful 2/3 of the time and harmful 1/3 of the time doesn't make the cutoff for helpful.
I imagine it’s purely supply and demand when it comes to willing pilots versus the number of planes that need delivery.

And practically speaking as a buyer having the plane flown to me is the equivalent of two day shipping instead of ground freight when it comes to the “I want it now” mentality.

I also figured it would cost far more. $20k is nothing compared to the cost of the plane.
I think “Rehabilitation” is probably a distraction. A mere chance might be all that they need, and America denies that to even people who have not committed a crime. The lack of social mobility means that regardless of what programs or mindsets one experiences in prison, they are all but forced right back into the same environment that put them there in the first place.

Without some rehabilitation programs chances are that they will get back to prison regardless of how long or short it's their stay. I guess the gov has to decide if it's worth to pay for rehabilitation or just keep them in jails. The latter is easier to implement and to sell.

People who care about security use devices that get updates - that’s true. They buy iOS devices.

Android is insecure by design - since most devices can’t be updated. Unlike iOS devices that get updated regularly worldwide without waiting on the carrier.

And I posted links showing that Android is not as secure. Do you have any links to back up your claims?

Every industry in the world has to address those same questions when organizing itself, although in this case the government is (and by extension we are) involved in the decisions.

> What is the value the jailer creates?

People don't fear being sent to the hospital over an off-color remark. Thieves don't hold honest folk at their mercy. Arsonists haven't done an exact recreation of Sherman's March, or anything similar. Serial murderers haven't killed off any non-negligible part of the population.

That's the value jailers create.

We don't know the samples in the article are representative of the feedback. In fact, I would expect the authors to cherry pick the feedback for entertainment purposes.

I believe the OP is right, but providing uncontroversial evidence of that is hard. You need a thorough classification of the feedback in a number of sufficiently comparable cases, involving both men and women, to provide hard evidence. And even with hard evidence in hand the conclusions could be ignored; cf. climate change.

This isn't a debate that can be settled by rational evidence.

I am really with you on this, but I’d assert there’s more to it.

It’s tough to blame them. Surely awareness is lacking but even if it isn’t, we’ve got a system in which your own well-being depends on being part of a social circle. The economics of associating one’s self with issues which are themselves associated with low-income or low-popularity is not seen as an option.

On top of that, there is virtually unlimited liberal political funding for virtue signaling because it’s a very indirect way to signal compassion without economic action to back it up. This plays really well to middle and upper class people and in-turn lower class people seeking to mingle with higher classes adopt the behavior.

The fact of the matter is that freedom of expression is massively contingent on economic security; and at some point even moreso than education. Socialized securities are America’s greatest hope at the moment.
