I love the effort to quantify things! It's a great approach.

I am sure there are a bunch of ways to nitpick but I appreciate the approach.

I personally think you need a drop-down for age and your risk tolerances are roughly 10x off what they should be.

COVID is almost better thought of as 2 diseases. A dangerous disease for people over the age of 60, and a historically mild disease (less dangerous than many diseases all children got in the 1969for those under 60. If older, taking precautions makes sense.

Very rough ways to think of the death rates are:
-Kids have roughly 1 in 10,000 chance of death from COVID. (1/20 as deadly as measles, which almost all children got until the 1963 vaccine)
-Parents are roughly 10x more risk than kids. (1 in 1,000)
-Grandparents have roughly 1,000x more risk than kids (1 in 10).

Based on:
(a) https://reason.com/2020/09/29/the-latest-cdc-estimates-of-co... (which shows alltime numbers)
(B) https://www.cebm.net/covid-19/declining-covid-19-case-fatali... (which shows how treatments have improved outcomes well over 60% over time).
(c) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measles

However at a society level, its only because we have become so good and safe that this disease is really relevant.

The age-adjusted death rate, which accounts for the aging population, is about 732 deaths per 100,000 people in the U.S, it has trended down over time.
https://budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu/issues/2016/1/25/morta...

In 2017 there were over 2.8M deaths.
Estimating a 2020 COVID death count at 280k, you are looking at a 10% increase in deaths due to COVID. Since most COVID deaths are in older populations, the age adjusted death rate is smaller, under 5%.

So if you adjust the death rate due to COVID we are looking at approximately 769 per 100,000 dead. A bit safer than in, slightly under 2008's 775.

So the world with COVID is basically like living in the year 2008 (with respect to deadliness).

You can also ask "what happens if we just let COVID run lose?" If you assume it is 2x as deadly, then you would have a 10% age adjusted mortality increase. This would equal an age adjusted deaths would be 805 per 100,000, slightly under 2005's number of 815.

Your risk tolerances (the bottom drop-down) are also way too low. Stating 1% per year recommended risk for many people is basically saying you should take 1 in 100,000 chance of death in a year. Car crash fatalities are 10x that annually in the US (38k deaths / 350M). Most people willingly assume car crash risk as a given.

Anyway, this is too long of a response but you need age as an input as it changes the outcomes by many orders of magnitude and you your risk tolerances are an order of magnitude off IMO (I like providing options though).
Practical guide to implement scrum values in your team
Those eras where women had very little choice of other careers except clerical positions of which programming was an extension of at the time.

Well aren't they? There's quite a lot of differences between men and women whether one wants to accept it or not.
There's massive amounts of socioligical and physiological science backing this.

Additionally, you can Google sociological studies on what women and men prioritize in their careers and women overwhelming prefer caregiving and time for family while men prefer more traditional status and materialistic success.

Google it!

Tech workers can go home exhausted as well. Just because it's not the pure physical exhaustion from blue collar work doesn't mean it doesn't take a toll on you.
I’m aware of the strategy you mention in the context of racial and ethnic diversity, but do you have a source suggesting that cohesion also decreases with more gender diversity, and that governments, corporations, etc. are somehow actively exploiting that? If anything I’d expect the opposite effect to occur.
Or heavily tax private schools and eliminate the local housing development vetoes that allow wealthy enclaves to form and persist. Without housing reform, public schools in wealthy areas become pseudo private schools. Optionally, also mandate open enrollment for public schools.

Barriers to entry are good sometimes. Linus was right about GitHub's PR feature.

linus torvalds has a good (but unnecessarily vitriolic) explanation for why he only uses github as a read-only mirror.

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/pull/17#issuecomment-56599...

basically: he has high expectations for the raw text formatting of a commit message and discussion threads, and github's web interface lacks the necessary controls.

Indeed. There is an episode of the sitcom Frasier (set in Seattle) featuring Bill Gates, that aired in Nov 2001. Gates appears on Frasier's call-in radio show, but all the calls end up being tech support related. Gates comments on whether Windows XP needs a boot disk or not.

This was a time (there was a similar period in the U.S, but it was earlier) when the direct operation of computers was essentially secretarial work, a level more sophisticated than operating a typewriter; it was not some magical era where women were the majority of people designing and implementing computer programs at the highest levels.

> If interested in challenging your perspective: Research the topic of how diversity in neighborhoods reduces trust and cohesion.

I suggest you go deeper on your research. This phenomenon comes from fear of the other and lack of inclusivity in general. Diversity in a vacuum is a benefit (see monoculture), the drive for diversity is with this in mind.

Using something like GitHub or GitLab brings transparency to the process and that encourages contribution. You can still prevent low-quality contributions with some bot automation (like ensuring a template is followed etc).

> Google introduces Google TV, which might be a rebranding of Android TV back to Google TV

It seems to be not quite exactly that, Android TV seems to still be an active brand; Google TV is a new UI on top of Android TV. OTOH, since it implies Android TV, once all new devices with Android TV are also using the Google TV interface, I'd expect Android TV to stop being an actively-used brand.

Well you do get to start at the baseline of your peers assuming that you are competent and have some right to be there, which is frequently not the case with regard to women and other minorities in tech. It is easier to 'be good' and earn this respect when you have to spend less time justifying your presence. Of course, you are clearly someone who would be oblivious to this.
I got into woodworking when I was 11. I checked out a library book about making wooden toys and used a simple hand scroll saw my dad had kicking around to make some of the wooden animal figurines for my younger siblings. Then I started making swords, daggers and shields since I was interested in all things knights and castles.

I saved up and bought a cheap, underpowered Craftsmen jigsaw and my production output increased. Then my parents bought an old farmhouse and had it renovated. I shadowed some of the carpenters and learned a lot.

When I was 17 I asked to work for a local furniture shop that made reproduction furniture. I told the owner that I would do anything, sweep the floors, clean the windows as long as I got to be in proximity to the equipment and expertise in the shop. Eventually I graduated from sweeping the floors to milling lumber, sanding case pieces, gluing up panels and then making full pieces of furniture. I was going to go to a technical school for fine woodworking but decided computer science would be a better career. I still miss having a shop.
No it isn't a gravy train compared to most jobs. Anything can be a gravy train if you have the right connections and work on the right jobs. But for most people, jobs suck, regardless of what you do.

> Mostly, because we know that there were eras when women dominated programming, typing, debugging, documentation, etc.

wasn't this the same era that women were mostly secretaries and programming, typing, debugging, doucmentation, etc. were all seen as secondary tasks supporting the main effort instead of the main effort itself?

also, during these eras, there simply weren't nearly as many programmers or money in programming, so the segment of the population that even had access to a computer, let alone knew how to program, was severly limited and not a representative sample of the potential population of programmers at that time.

> So we know that there's no biological or innate reason why women are unable/unwilling/unskilled at this labor.

we know no such thing and its bad science to say that we do. Perhaps you should qualify this statement to be more clear.

> Instead, we conclude that it's culture.

bad conclusion that ignores other factors, including availability of access to computers, proportion of the population that knows how to program, status of programming in relation to the work being done (secretary work vs primary work), etc.
I think one of the best voices in this regard is a man named Dave Cullen out of Ireland. His YouTube channel, Computing Forever, has always been spot on in regard to the plandemic and other authoritarian happenings. He has some fascinating guests as well. I've yet to find him wrong.

I don't know what the answer is as far as getting people to wake up. Most people are utter sheeple when it comes to adhering to the diktats of government. They implicitly trust government and they shouldn't. Very few governments are really in lockstep with their people. Iceland is one, the Swiss do fairly well in this regard, as does Finland and Denmark. Again, very few.
I think east Europe is also leading the numbers for rate of women in tech, especially as coders and they are ranked among the best in the World.
This is certainly a matter of taste. When I was in Germany for months, I had to buy bottled water to make tea, because what I got out of the tap was undrinkable.

Germans appear to love their mineralwasser. I find it tastes like soap. If that's what you like, then the stuff out of my tap will also be undrinkable.

No arguments about the soft drinks, though. I go out of my way to get the Coke with sugar rather than corn syrup -- I don't think I'm just fooling myself that I can taste the difference.
Also this is following the same trend: 5 Stelle and Podemos heading downwards, while the rightwing surviving all fine. Apparently blaming it on the foreigners is a universal and powerful differentiator. At the same time I'm sure it avoids focusing too much on changing the local mechanisms of power (just on changing the leadership), because in the end they're hoping to profit from them just the same.

Seconded that. It is a lot about choice in this socio-economic level. I bet if a lot of men can afford to also leave their tech jobs (or any jobs for that matter) for family or for pursuing something else, they would do it, and we'll see the same headline but for men, even with good working environment.

That's because in poor countries, tech is a way to escape poverty as outsourcing has really propped up wages meaning a good dev can earn more than a doctor or a lawyer so people there will put up with anything for that kind of money, including women, but in very developed nations like Norway, women have better options than SW development where they can get good pay for less hours and being a dev there is nowhere near close to doctors and lawyers in terms of pay or status.

Pendantic lamp. Pedantic note. :-)
Weird.

1) When I grew up, multiplication and the letter X were styled very differently in books so that that was never ever a confusion.

2) The switch to dot, was NOT to avoid ambiguity, but to shorten stuff (IIRC we did that when we learned order of operations and started solving simple equations - writing "4 (dot) a" instaed of "4 (cross) a" -- and then just "4a" but multiplications still appear often among parentheses - they were not ALL replaced with dot.

3) That's simply wrong. It is a different operation; dot product reduces to multiplication among scalars -- but so does cross product. It's okay to denote scalar product with either.

Granted, this might be dependent on the exact curriculum one studies through - but mine did NOT have a simplified one that was replaced - instead, it started with the most explicit one, and got simplified (with new, compatible notation that did not replace older one, only extended it) through the years. And it seems this was almost the case for you too.

> especially when tagging spam "correctly" takes a non-insignificant amount of effort from the maintainers.

No kidding. GitHub requires you to wait several minutes (they don't say how much time exactly, but in my experience it's definitely > 2 min) between reporting something as spam. So you can't just go through your spam PRs in the morning and report them easily, you need to leave the browser tabs open and come back from time to time to submit spam reports. Not reporting is much easier, so the real figures are certainly higher.

EDIT: Ah, they don't even mean reporting spam to GitHub. Maintainers need to "opt in" to Hacktoberfest's own rules and change their own PR labeling system according to Hacktoberfest's wishes. What a pile of nonsense.
The SpO2 meter was a revolution in acute care.

Your oral surgeon may use a mix of opioids and benzodiazepines to put you out. There is some risk you'll stop breathing so you'll get oxygen and wear an SpO2 meter. If your SpO2 drops your surgeon can give you drugs to reverse the anesthesia. It helps keep the procedure safe and simple on an outpatient basis at a small medical office.

For chronic care, not so much. You have to be very very sick for your SpO2 to drop noticeably.

I recovered from "moderate to severe" asthma with steroid treatments, allergy shots, and treating my heartburn. At my worst I was struggling to breathe, but I still had an SpO2 around 97%. Thus it's hard for me to take SpO2 seriously.
>The experiments also included “forced choice” trials in which the computer told participants which option to select. Here, though the subjects still pressed keys to make the instructed choices

So was the choice forced? Or could they click another choice themselves? It's not quite clear from this wording. In the former case, there's no incentive to learn anything, since you can't change the outcome.
