Oh man, yes, there are lots of people claiming it's all 100% nurture. There even was a media shitstorm in France around the "patriarchy of steak" in 2017. Basically, an anthropologist claimed in her PhD thesis that women are smaller and weaker than men because of millennia of patriarchal oppression. She received support from many famous social scientists, and a long documentary on Arte (the French-German TV channel), countless newspaper articles, etc.

See (in French, sorry): http://www.slate.fr/story/155300/patriarcat-steak-existe-pas

This ideology is absolutely dominant nowadays in social "science" around the world.
I prefer to maintain that there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.
"Dumb" questions are fine, but they're completely different than lazy questions, which are often misidentified as dumb questions.

A dumb question might be something like "I can't log into my server with `ssh server.com`. It keeps rejecting my password when it asks for `user@server.com's password`. What's going on?" The user might not know to explicitly add `admin@` on the command line.

A lazy question is "My server that I bought doesn't let me log in!" Come on, you need to address 1) what result you expect, 2) the exact steps you take, 3) the result you obtain instead, and 4) any other details a non-omniscient being might need to answer your question.

I'm mostly talking quite a while before that. When I bought my first IBM PC clone in the early 80s, it was probably $3K or something like that and it didn't even have a hard drive. (I bought a 5MB hard drive with company money around the same time and it was $5K all by itself.)
Jim Sterling's small disagreement with an asset flipping nobody game dev over displaying videos of games described the argument for youtuber uploads of gameplay. He said that the argument in court would be that the review or livestreamer playing the game is creating a transformative piece of work by playing it. There are an infinite number of different videos that could come from playing a game so any individual one could be considered transformative, combined with commentary and a face on top. That would fall under fair use. He went on to say the argument had not been tested in a court and he said it to demonstrate how expensive it would be for his opponent to try and control video reviews that were critical of the product via legal means.

I don't know the legal defense, a game developer is specifically trimming out bugs and separate paths through the game world so I personally would argue any experience a player has short of deliberately breaking the game and getting outside the map bounds should be considered the within the bounds of what a game is and therefore not transformative.
That seems like an uncharitbale reading. A manager let people know that they'll be able to tell if a new chrome release will affect them by testing with beta. The overwhelming sentiment was "we're sorry".
Anyone have a non paywall source? Might be more of a conversation if we had something to read.

Maybe I'm missing something. What is it specifically about this psychology research that somehow makes it incompatible with making quantifiable statements? I'm not saying some random person is doing some random maths which would randomly make it science. I'm saying these particular persons in this particular study are performing scientific research and making quantifiable statements through maths that seem to be trivially and intuitively applicable. How is this different from say particle physics? If anything applying maths to particle physics is more dangerous because it's so easy to repeat the experiment until you've got the result you want.

You have something specifically against psychology research, I haven't seen a single argument from you that could not be applied against any other scientific field. They applied a methodology that you didn't initially understand, and now you're refusing to understand it because you're committed to arguing against it. Weird thing is it's not even a controversial finding, just a confirmation of something everyone knows to be true.
Agreed, I used to easily be able to find our local info regarding volleyball tournaments and festivals, now the same searches don’t give anything even 7 pages down, it’s as though the engine removed the sites from the web

People that defer too much respect to the state are at a disadvantage. What I mean by that is that some people will conclude "well that's the law! so don't break it" as opposed to looking at the consequences or seeing the relativity of the law, or the influence you can have on the law.

Many laws don't have a consequence.

Many laws were written by your rival.

Many laws have consequences that have nothing to do with closing your Series C which is a far greater incentive.

Disagreeing with this reality doesn't change the accuracy of this reality.
Local governments are independent in the US and don’t operate at huge scales. Further, their independently implementing laws written by a separate group so correctness is placed well above UX.

Sadly, politics only cares for people actively involved. If you want different behavior, communicate with an elected official, try to elect different people, or run for office yourself.
I didn't remember the exact numbers but, yeah, you connected at slow speed if you were going to do something interactive like chat and "high" speed if you were just going to download/upload and disconnect.

Being Bill Gates, John Carmack or Steve Jobs is not “doing things slightly differently.”
Not to sound mean, but why would that matter? This entire affair is a failure of Justice, failure of Quality Assurance, and failure of Outsourcing Governance.

It could have happened with any language and any hardware. The problems were people problems.

Side note: I'd hate to associate this affair with a particular software language, as it would just be media fodder, imagine headline: "Python Software Puts Proles in Prison"
Doubtful. They don't seem to have absorbed any of the lessons of the last election yet. The main problem is that the DNC is run by the Twitterati and the Extremely Online folk, and they have lost almost all connection to normal people.

Maybe they can tack back to Earth, but they've spent the whole opening part of the campaign spinning castles of air.
This is not very surprising, is it? How many more data points do we need to conclude that COPs never achieve anything? I think it’s time to acknowledge that our “leaders” have failed us.
A direct link to the tweet would have sufficed.
Luckily these cheaper alternatives to hotels appeared out of nowhere and didn't come out of long-term housing stocks, pricing people out of the city.

And luckily these affordable car transportations don't drive around the city empty most of the time, causing huge traffic congestion.
It also brings to mind the section of The Castle where the chairman is explaining to K. how it came to be that a surveyor had been summoned. A miscommunication had led to a string of events that were never questioned due to the unwillingness of the authorities to even consider that an error had been made. The official investigating always assumes that the person he's dealing with is a scoundrel.

That section of the book always brings to mind software development and bug-hunting. Kafka seems to have been immensely methodical, I think he'd have made a great dev.
How much is lots? You gave one isolated example. That's anecdote. We are back to my original questions: do you have any data to back up your claim that one side is claiming it's 100% nurture? Or is it anecdotal?

> countless newspapers

You can count newspapers. How many was it? How many of them are from "one side"? How wide is their readership? That's data. You are still in the world of anecdote.

That's hilarious.

As an aside, the self-titled American Football album from 1999 (fake emo, apparently) is one of my favorite records of all time. Highly recommend for anyone that likes layered twinkly guitars in their indie pop.
The Game is the layer that very often carries the streamer, if it changes the base connection to the audience changes too. This can easy create a imbalance or conflict in interests. If the viewer can't relate to the specific game they usually leave (change of audience).

So it highly depends on your Audience. If you are a variety streamer, your audience is used to the changing environment. However this does not apply to the vast majority. If changes in audience(game) can cause up to 90+% difference its hard to quantify it as negligible factor.

Aah I see. Any suggestions how I can improve the experience?
Bureaucracy values consistency over all else. People are held accountable for not following the process, not for customer experience.

That means either training people to be experts in whatever they are doing or removing agency from the individuals in the system.

Having people with the right training, etc is obviously the better path, but it costs more. End of the day, this is why devops is a thing — traditional IT operations only does what it does, which is a problem when you’re changing and growing.
>> They didn't push for a more complete conversation.
>> Feminism has nothing to do with the truth and everything to do with politics and power.
>> I have read their words and seen what they do to those who disagree.

Focusing on the most radical voices and generalizing broadly about feminism doesn't make you a "defender of the truth". In any movement you can find people with extreme opinions and then use that to discredit an entire group. There are many examples where feminism has made a positive impact without "denying the truth".

One area where feminism has pushed for a more complete conversation is in sports. Women like to participate in sports. Until laws were passed that insisted women have an equal right to participate in sports, the argument was, "why fund women's sports when they're not interested?" Women are interested. It took time to get funding, organize teams, get access to facilities, develop the training schedules that are different for women's bodies. It has taken many years. On average, 45.7 percent of American marathon participants are now women. In the 1970's they were banned from even participating. So it's taken about 50 years to get from 0% to nearing parity. This was made possible without denying that men and women have different physical abilities.

In fact, in some sports like boxing where physical mass matters a lot there are even categories within men's boxing: flyweight, featherweight, heavyweight. Manny Pacquiao is arguably one of the most famous boxers today. He primarily competes in the lower weight classes. He is a national hero. Nobody mocks his sport, denies him the ability to participate, or says that he is a poor athlete because he doesn't compete in the heavyweight category. Women athletes want the respect and opportunity to compete within their category, make money, develop a fan base, be broadcast on TV, have watch parties, etc. Manny Pacquiao is not a "truth denier" for not competing in heavyweight boxing where he would lose. The feminists who want female athletes to be respected for their talents are also not "truth deniers".

In the intellectual realm, for a large part of history women have not had the same access to education as men. Now that women do have access, over half of the students at universities are women. It's true that men and women cluster in different majors. Major preferences for both men and women have changed a lot over time with different economic opportunities, hiring trends, what people's friends or parents did, what people see on TV, and what career counselors recommend. How many archaeologists were inspired by Indiana Jones? Is there some biological component to these choices? Maybe? I don't know. There are a lot of factors that go into people's life choices. The problem isn't studying whether this is true or not, but in using this information to dismiss concerns about unequal opportunity to prove oneself and deny opportunities to groups of people because of their biology when it is one of many factors that drive people's choices.
Sounds to me that AI could play a big role in this.

At some point, the slowly-increasing quality curve of DDG's results crosses the rapidly-decreasing organicity curve of Google's results and you switch. For me the curves crossed two years ago.

Another area where acknowledging sex personality differences is important is in education.

In quite a few countries, young men are falling behind young women in pursuing education (for whatever reason, it might just be that modern educational systems are coincidentally better fit for "female" personalities); a teacher who acknowledges these differences might be better prepared to teach boys and encourage them better, or plan classes in ways that help both groups.
They can, but I'd argue that if I type "basecamp" into a search engine, the first result should always be basecamp.com, not ads for their competitor.
I'm in the top 2% on ServerFault to this day. I remember interacting with you on numerous questions. I'm GregD on the Stack sites.

I totally understand the limits that had to be set on the low bar for quality content. In those early days though, it seemed to me that when people asked questions about managing mobile phones for instance, because it was only newly related to being a sys admin, they'd get closed as not related.

Granted, in those early days, there weren't as many process "rules" in place to guide users to ask better questions and perhaps that's still so. However, a quick perusal of the site indicate this has gotten better and more friendly towards new people.
These types of projects typically have dozens or hundreds of consultants involved. Given all the media coverage, I'm surprised there was no whistleblower who came forward with evidence of poor software quality, etc. Certainly it must have been known that even basic reports on the system do not reconcile. So innocent people went to prison and the consultants continued to stay quiet about bugs?!
Yes Google spams search results with ads. But instead of using a different search engine such as duckduckgo.com, we're calling for the government to break up Google?

That's plain ridiculous. I'm not opposed to breaking up oligopolies, but calling for the government to fix this particular issue is like asking to be put under legal guardianship.
This is incredible. Thanks for posting.
I agree that a statement in this generality is non-sense. (If it were a skill, how would you acquire it without asking a question.) What is meant here (probably) is sth. like "asking a good question" is a skill -- where "good" could be defined in any number of ways. In this context, it's probably synonymous to "getting the reply you're actually after without someone closing your question, or marking it as a dupe". That probably is a skill.

However, SO would be a more useful place, especially but not only for newcomers, if that skill wasn't required. If anyone could ask anything, and as long as there's someone willing to answer, it doesn't matter whether the question could be deemed "skillful" by any measure.

There are a number of reasons why SO isn't that place, and I can see why these reasons exist. It's a fun thought experiment to think about whether SO would have made it to the place it is today if it had started out already with the same draconic rules and views on how questions should be written as are in place today.
Very profound.
If the underlying data is constantly changing, how do cursors solve that problem? The only guarantee I get asking for the next page after a given item is that it won't contain the last item I've already seen. There's no other inherent guarantees. The page could contain all items I've already seen, early pages (in this new version of the underlying dataset) could have items I've never seen, and so on. It's as arbitrary as page numbers but without the corresponding convenience.

Sort of. You can get a pretty functional copy by just opening it up on your dining room table. (Though magazines are more likely to stay wide open than books are.) An evenly lit and flat to the spine copy probably requires some sort of copy stand.

At times I've thought of buying or making one but concluded it wasn't worth the effort to me.
@1hakr Your website design is good. What is your design process. As being developer I struggle with designing.

That book sounds interesting—where did you get a copy? Amazon lists it starting at over $200.
Hmm. I don't like Twitter-the-website (the site is rather heavy and annoying to use on both mobile and desktop), so I do like a summary copy somewhere else, but indeed the author added very little of their own thoughts or additional sources or anything to supplement the content.

The blog is also a lot shorter than the twitter thread, summarizing the issue, and it mentions the source.

I'm not sure whether I'm in favor of changing the link.
Same for me. Switched to DDG toward end of 2017 on my desktops and early 2018 for my mobile phone.

Actually using Google now feels like a downgrade. The AMP garbage is just another issue I’ve avoided.
Indeed. OP should have linked to the tweet instead as his blog post is not adding anything.
"I have no problem with x. Prove to me that you have a problem with x.", seems entirely reasonable to you?
It is not useless. Besides the point that the whole idea of science is that all of it is or could be useful in some way. This research establishes a platform on which you could build more specific research on that might be helpful in determining whether something is a personality trait, a sexual trait, or some kind of disorder.

Or if you want to go even more specific, maybe research like this could be used to convince governments that deny transsexuality that it in fact is possible to scientifically show that a person aligns more with a different sex, which might give them access to subsidy or insurance for surgery. Some people might be helped just because the science acknowledges the reality of their feelings.

In any case, your anti intellectual disposition is shameful.
It sounds a bit like saying that any classic painting was 90% created from materials provided by other companies: canvas, oil colors, various chemicals, and painter just used those, but then took all the credits. The thing is that the value comes from the uniqueness of the final work, and painter and in this case the streamer are the only ones who provide that crucial element. Without them there's nothing, viewers wouldn't watch it, so you can fully argue that streamers are in fact the creators of the original content streamed. Re-uploaders on the other hand create derivative work, and there are strict and well-established rules on that.
I'm certainly not going to defend San Francisco's behavior. I think we can all agree that Skip was wronged by the city here. If you're in a position to do something about the quality of the bureaucrats, fixing their behavior is the right choice; this article is obviously an attempt on the part of the journalist to do that.

Without meaning to imply that Skip did anything particularly wrong, I intended to dispute the lesson its CEO took away from the experience. Skip wasn't in a position to change the bureaucracy: it simply wanted to get something from it. The advice given was implicitly for other people in similar circumstances, so I modeled my take-away for the same context. Dysfunctional bureaucracies are widespread, and knowing how to successfully interact with them is a crucial survival skill in modern business. Doing everything exactly by the book is how you do that; declining to invest in the future is simply an admission of defeat.
Yes.

Hm. I guess it was all in my head.

Probably it is, yeah. Please don't try and pull "I'm a woman so you just have to accept whatever I say about women" here. It doesn't work. I see, every week, clear cases of discrimination against men and in the favour of women. So do millions of other men. If you want us to disregard the evidence of our own eyes and ears you're gonna have to do a lot better than being condescending towards us in public.

And it's not just in tech. It's all over society. It never ends. Did you know the current EU Commission is made up of half female commissioners because the woman who runs it demands men not be nominated to half the positions? Did you know the only public justification for why the head of the Commission is because she's a woman?

Put bluntly, if you feel disrespected it's because women have been setting things up so they're impossible to respect by default. If you know that women are routinely put in positions merely because of feminist activism, how can you respect them? They didn't get there by being good at their jobs.
Yup. In the end you are at the mercy of whoever controls the platform and its development.
Unfortunately MOOCs, including at this point even edX, have really been tightening up on what you have access to for free. By and large, you can still get the videos, at least while the class is running, but not a lot else.

Sometimes these "idiosyncrasies" are quite relevant: LaTeX is still 8 bit and uses a number of fixed-size tables for managing objects (resulting in a numer of "weird" limitations), the way TeX processes documents is quite complex and not particularly fast (depending on what you compare it to), it only supports it's own fonts and none of the industry standards and so on
