Isn't this the standard bimodal distribution we expect? Boys make up the majority of CEOs but they also make up the vast majority of criminals. Median girls are smarter than median boys, but the distribution is less wide on a population level.

No, nuclear has much better Energy Return on Investment (EROI) than any other energy source.

Don't get me wrong, it has other problems but EROI ain't one of them.
PC or not, academic literature supports your views.

"Thus, high levels of testosterone are associated with willingness to incur greater risk in both sexes."

In my experience, this view has loose ties to ADHD, specifically regarding the hunter-farmer hypothesis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_vs._farmer_hypothesis

Doesn't say it in the article, but Hartmann's main book on ADHD discusses how he tested an African tribe for ADHD. 100% of those tested were "positive" for ADHD.

I believe we're looking at evolutionary aftereffects of generations of family-based societies where men hunt and women run the family.
I have read a ton of articles about the subject and the information I mentioned never came up. I think it’s not widely known. I checked with my wife and a friend just now, who both has followed the story over time, and they didn’t know those details either. I’m not blaming the media, I’m trying to highlight something I suspect isn’t widely known
That talks about poisoning hundreds of people, which would be a tragedy, but not all that unusual for a war. Hundreds of people dying is hardly going to decide a war.

Edit: My point isn't that cyberattacks can't cause real damage. They can and there are many examples of them doing that already. My point is that they aren't enough to win a war because they are by their nature specialized and restricted in scope.
Great points. We do use the accelerometer and pedometer data in the phone to give the coaches many key parts of data such as cadence, average pace, stride length, and more.

Regarding form, one of the best ways that we've found to fix it is by doing routine "form checks". During this part of a run, a coach will walk you through your posture, and make suggestions. An example would be something like this:

"Let's take a minute and look at our feet. Where is your foot hitting the ground? If it's on your heel, focus on leading on the center of your foot." They would then proceed to do the same with your arms, shoulders, back, and more.

While we can't get exact data here, we can provide runners with a way of actively thinking about these form issues.

What makes you think this is a one solution problem? Very few things in life are black & white. Life comes in shades of gray and problems with multiple solutions(more or less optimal for the time when the decision is taken).

Every type of energy comes with downsides:

-Solar - storage and delivery infrastructure costs

-Wind - same as above
-Hydro - same as above + if you build many/too big you change the center of mass leading to changes in the planets rotation speed

-Coal/gas/any fuel burned to produce energy - Usually cheaper than other to buil but produces a lot of pollution

-Nuclear - Build cost + waste disposal

Any kind of energy storage you use for any of the above will need to be recycled at some point. I would count this as a downside for any solution that requires storage to handle peak usage and can't be ramped up.

Is there any sense of how many 8200-grad founded companies are in the "sketchy" side (not sure what other word to use) of cyber-security?

The article mentions 4, and implies the rest of the 700 mentioned are similar.
Change my mind on this, but in countries with freedom of speech, the only reason to have this much 'privacy' is if you're doing something shady. Again, looking for a conversation here.
edit: By 'this much' I mean going extreme lengths to secure privacy, the online equivalent of using a numbered swiss bank account. Nice discussion so far, thoroughly enjoying it. I don't mind the dislikes, if that makes your day better, dislike away.
> (I just hope that reaction isn't a military first-strike)

Whenever I read statements like this I wonder who people think China might attack militarily. The only one I can think of that wouldn't either cost them more than they'd gain (and even then it still probably would) or turn into a suicidal act would be Taiwan. Any other neighboring nation offers them little value with respect to the cost of war, and nations like the US and Russia could create such an expansive war that China would lose all the political and economic ground it's gained this century, and probably more.
I tend to agree that females can be better. But in different ways and there's a caveat. Here goes my n=1.

I have the privilege to work with a female developer and she's amazing. By far the most productive among our team of devs in terms of feature output.

Her concentration is unmatched as if she was on adderall all day but she doesn't take any drug.

However her peak in terms of technical excellence is not as high as some of the male developers. Her code is good but not the best. And that's fine.

Once during lunch I asked if she knew any other female dev so we could bring to the team. She smiled and promptly replied: "No way I'm working with other girls. They are too chatty, dishonest and tend to pull the carpet from under you. I say that because I'm a girl and I would rather work with guys."

Needless to say I was not expecting that response.

One thing I noticed is she can multitask much better than us male developers on the team. My context switching cost is quite high to the point I get annoyed when I have too much on my plate while her limit for juggling simultaneous tasks seems to be much higher.

I guess what I wanted to say is that, from my experience, both females and males often excel in different things. And I'd wager that's related to hormones like my parent wrote.
Agreed. I find it easier to interact with people in service situations if they're responsible for the whole experience. The point of going to a restaurant or a barbershop or getting take-out is that you're leaving the whole process in someone else's hands.

A checkout clerk just feels like a weird adjunct to the whole process. I walked to the store, pushed the cart around and grabbed all my items, yet somehow someone else has to do the quickest and easiest part for me?
Cool. What language do you write the stored procedures in?
This Institute was founded in 2019, is based in Washington D.C., was founded by someone who has ties to the US military, and is a division an relatively new private university that had their license almost revoked also in 2019...

Without considering US foreign policy. Even taking the most extreme Zenz estimates, a Uyghur in XJ has less lifetime chance of being incarcerated as a black American in US. And unlike US/western segregationist tendencies at cultural level, the XJ forced integration systems are designed to assimilate and not be a multi-generational minority repression trap. Compare development in Urumqi, Kashgar in XJ to western ghettos (i.e. French Banlieue) or indigenous preserves in Canada without basic amenities. Future BLM, indigenous and minority activists will be fighting long after next generations of Sinicized Uyghurs. Morality is complicated, especially evaluated on factors like time scope. The "long arc" moral universe is not necessarily better than "5 year" plan, and indeed the nature of compound interests / suffering suggest to me, that it's not.
Ask HN: Web-Based Desktops and IDEs in 2021?
I happened to find KodExplorer today, it's a web-based desktop / online IDE, and actually seems like a pretty cool idea and implementation.

It's left me wondering: Does you know of any other interesting, novel, or modern open-source web-based desktop apps?
C'mon guy, that's not good faith argument. I have a whole twitter full of folks calling for war crimes against what China's doing; Not to mention, Disney got plenty of backlash for that move from the people paying attention. (Google Disney Xinjiang and it's so ubiquitous I don't feel the need to link myself)

Seems your problem is more with mainstream media. You're deflecting from the argument at hand here. Not to mention, the wrongs of the Israeli cybersec industry, like with NSO group, seem much less covered than Xinjiang genocide (to me, but I'm sure there's ways to quantify the coverage differential)
There isn't remotely enough storage available to make wind and solar feasible. To put this in perspective, the world consumes 60 TWh of electricity daily, about 2.5 TWh per hour. We have only a couple GWh of battery storage. Hydroelectric provides more, but that's harder to scale because you need the right geography.

Once solar saturates daytime demand, provisioning further solar power doesn't contribute to decarbonization. This is why nuclear is really the only known path to decarbonization. Maybe we'll figure out scalable ways to provision hundreds of terawatt hours of storage, but we might be waiting a long time.
Aren't NFTs literally the cryptocurrency equivalent of tulips? The tulip mania died down because you can trivially replicate tulips. One can argue that Bitcoin is an overvalued currency because the actual economy backing it is absolutely tiny but there is at least some nugget of value in there, even if it is only $100 per Bitcoin. It's enough to at least pretend but with NFTs you have taken the one final step that makes them meaningless.

By the same you could say the same cops that are murdering black lives are funded in part by the taxes of Silicon Valley companies. You could say Guantanamo Bay was funded in part by your taxes. You could say all the ruckus in Nicaragua was funded by your taxes as well.

I personally firmly stand by not punishing civilians and private/mostly-private/mostly-civilian-held companies for the actions of their governments.

Also, governments are not monolithic. Would you punish the National Park Service for the actions of the NSA?
You could even argue that if it wasn't for Bitcoin, we could shut down another unsafe Nuclear power plant or two.

>Back at the start of 2017, Bitcoin was using 6.6 terawatt-hours of power a year. In October 2020, that was up to 67 terawatt-hours. Now a few months later, it has nearly doubled to 121 terawatt-hours, the Cambridge researchers found, enough to run their entire university for nearly 700 years.

Sure, but it also makes the point where you perhaps should not send that, right?

If you think something is harmful or bad then perhaps don't say you're going to do it to others. Especially when the person is a individual that often does not have control of the policies that they have to represent professionally in their work.
> “IT’S all to do with their brains and bodies and chemicals,” says Sir Anthony Seldon, the master of Wellington College, a posh English boarding school. “There’s a mentality that it’s not cool for them to perform, that it’s not cool to be smart,” suggests Ivan Yip, principal of the Bronx Leadership Academy in New York.

Which is it? Their brains/bodies/chemicals? Or the social pressure?

Testosterone doesn't really kick in until high school, and the article (at least the part outside of the paywall) seems to suggest the problem exists in adolescents, not young children, so that would suggest that it's the former not the latter.

The next question is... what has changed in the last 30 years? The answer to that is most likely going to be social, and not chemical, unless you mean less lead in the air. Maybe the answer is more complicated.

Finally, what has changed in the last 30 years that might be linked to both? Well, easier access to pornography could be a factor. It's a social change that lines up with male adolescence that could be related.

In any case, the 'answer' is to try to combat the change, and wait for statisticians and scientists to study the problem to understand the root causes.
Laws cannot be specific for this exact reason.

Reason, judgement, and consensus must be part of the process.

To ban the export of unprocessed domestic wood, is it preferable to pre-define and include every possible "process" or is it better to have judges who asses whether any given would-be export is "processed"?

Also, lets skip the argument of regulatory capture/neglect by just agreeing that government transparency/accessibility and voter enfranchisement are critically important to maintaining any reasonable consensus-based system.
I'll preempt the usual discussion on these posts with this:

Everything in life is a game. You can choose to learn the rules, and play to win it, or you can call foul and take what's given to you easily.

Either one is valid. But don't act entitled to the gold medal if you choose to prioritize other things over practice.
I can't disclose much due to NDA, but what basically occurred was, the tool used to enforce policies across the enterprise was accidentally made to reboot everything. Simple as that.
> Is the Navy really a good example

good question. In the US, the nuclear navy is basically a separate organization. they are still in the military chain of command, but the nuclear portions are all separately: managed, manufactured, repaired, operated, trained, audited etc.
Atop what everyone else says, I reckon it would take all of five minutes for Twitter to reframe it as xenophobic prejudice against China.

Doesn't matter that it isn't true. It sounds true, and that's all that matters.
Then you have a population training for the test and you end up with people that are overfit for the standardized test and underfit for reality.
Yes, I don't think the United States does anything close to what the PRC is doing to its own citizens domestically, although I guess you can draw some comparisons with mass incarceration.

A more similar comparison with the West would be how Israel sterilized non-white jews through the 90s into the 00s.

e: and I'm downvoted for...?
I'm mostly with you on this, but there's a larger percentage of guys than you think. If you worked in corporate America long enough, especially in tech, you've encountered lots of guys that clearly enjoy being at work more than home.

People are complicated. I had a comment along the same lines as yours, but now that I talk about it, I'm not sure what I'd do. It's a total tossup. Moot point because I don't feel like I can leave the workforce, but it's not so clear.

I do think you brought up a good point though. It's kind of a forbidden dark point, but still one worth considering. What if it really is better to have less money, and not have to deal with any of this work stuff?
Here's an article from the Department of Energy that outlines a few options: https://www.energy.gov/articles/space-based-solar-power

The problem with this approach is that it risks one's account being hit by some black box algorithm for detecting abuse, and then spending another few weeks trying to explain to another customer service rep that a) your account hasn't been hacked, b) you are not abusing their service in spirit, even if in action, c) you do not want your account settings reverted because these changes were made by you and then d) no, please do not ban me from the service permanently.

All that apart from the fact that it shouldn't be necessary!
I'd suspect it's biological, since boys in (almost?) all human societies are more prone to challenging authority. It's the same story in elephants, chimps and wolves too. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the case in all species of social mammals.
You're being disingenuous and you know it. Most women don't take the high risk jobs. They never have, they're not evolved for it. This isn't sexist to point this out, this is just how things are.

Why do people here struggle to understand concept of gender roles that have been in place (and have worked) for hundreds of thousands of years? This isn't the "patriarchy" boogeyman, this is how societies started and thrived.

This entire industry is just awful, and the antithesis of anything resembling the compassionate virtues they claim to espouse. I'm done with programming, and maybe that's what is supposed to happen, but it has left a very bitter taste in my mouth. If you have serious chops, go for it. Otherwise, give it a wide berth.

The GME situation sparked my interest and I've been researching a lot about how to effectively trade, for normal scenarios not whatever is going on with GME and others. The concept of bear markets is key vs. bull market. We've been in a bull market for the longest time. A bear doesn't necessarily mean a recession or depression.

I'm not by any means a financial advisor so given that and that you are on an internet forum asking, not sitting in a financial advisor or economics professor's office. From research, some things to watch for a bear market forming:

- fed rates going up

- consumer price index going up

- general market indexes (dow, s&p, nasdaq) and trends of distribution (selling) where 4-5 days of distribution happen over like 4-6 weeks

- lots of liquidity

- industry segment leader starts lagging market, laggards move up in price

- more minor points: talking heads saying things like its good time to buy (in contrast to market direction), lots of retail interest, weird anomalies with some stocks (AMC, GME, etc.)

A lot of these things are happening. This doesn't mean a crash per se, example years: 76, 84, 87, 90, 94, 98, 2000, 2007. Go look where the market (nasdaq, s&p, dow) topped out in those years, see if there is data from other indicators.

There doesn't need to be some major event or major crash, could just be a downturn for 9-12 months. There probably are economic definitions for bear, recession and depression based on length of time.
As a developer, I would love to have this! However, after talking to our users, the biggest thing that we consistently hear is that they love the community, and the coaches.

For example they can talk with Coach Amy on social media, chat with Coach Rory on Clubhouse, and see Coach Justin making a funny TikTok. The relatable coaches may not be the reason that runners are coming to the app, but they're definitely a major reason into why they stay.

I definitely favor smaller less impactful scarring, but also, so what? Calling ths "unusually damning" seems like a significant overinflation of concern.
