The reason for this is complicated though. To say that it's just that political climate and that people don't care about men's issue is doing it such a disservice. The reason there's so much media attention on the issues of women and minorities is because generally speaking any issues faced by cisgender heterosexual white men are considered important by default. You usually don't have to fight for them because the people in power will just fix them.

So it's fascinating that there are issues faced by this population that aren't moving despite everything being aligned to just make them go away and that you have to fight for them like they were minority issues. And what's crazy is that for these issues the population you need to convince that these issues are important are white men!

Specifically for gender representation in nursing and teaching there's three main barriers to have to be broken down to get people to care about them.

1. That the factors that are keeping men out of teaching and nursing are internal -- lack of motivation or ability, rather than external factors like discrimination or access to education.

2. That nursing and teaching are "low status" careers so it doesn't matter if there's a gender gap because nobody is really clamoring to be one.

3. That nursing and teaching are "women's work," which is especially funny since teaching used to be male dominated.

Significance was a word before statistics used it to define one of their concepts. Just because a field takes a word people used in everyday contexts and used it to define something doesn't mean that the everyday meaning disappears.

Edit: Another example is significant digits. Significant digits is a much older concept than significance in statistics, and maps much better to the original meaning of significance. Basically significant things are things you can't ignore when you do your analysis.

I know two stay-at-home moms working on PhDs. If your family earns enough money it’s a way to be a stay-at-home parent (of sorts) without the giant resume gap. Or at least with a “justifiable” resume gap.

Most distributions are derivations and arise because some skilled people wished some core functionality would be different.

And other distributions started from scratch, but obviously don't want to do really everything on their own, so they took other software.

The result is that a lot of established software is shared.

Yes, the activists were tough and determined enough to get beat up and keep going, but they were badly outnumbered and would never have won by their own strength.

Their goal was to keep going long enough to make other people care, not despite but because of the forces deployed against them. Not by enduring oppression long enough that their oppressors got tired of fire hosing them; but long enough to awaken the conscience of people far away.

That does take a lot of strength and endurance, I'm not suggesting otherwise, but one can be strong and still be greatly outmatched and in a position of relative weakness.
The money supply is protected by the Fed, yes - that's kind of the point. The supply is adjusted to maintain the 2% inflation target. Generally in big financial crises, velocity of money drops so the supply is increased to offset it - and avoid a deflationary spiral.

It's pretty logical right? If the economy is imploding around you, your natural response is to save your money - out of fear - and not spend it. However, that has knock-on effects. If everyone starts saving, prices go down to tempt people to buy, which means less revenue for the business, which means salary cuts and layoffs, which means folks have less money to spend - and so on.

To avoid this situation, the Fed increases the money supply. This happened in COVID too. The fed IMO deserves a ton of credit for saving the American economy from a massive depression - twice so far since 2008.

By the way those bailouts earned a $15B profit for the government [1].

I dont have to imagine, I am. Its definitely kinda iffy compared to what Ive heard it used to be, though not impossible, but its risky to politely ask out a girl you dont know well these days. Its made worse by the fact that a lot of guys are in some majors and a lot of girls are in others, zoom means we dont meet each other so much these days.
I would like to understand what is meant by 'proper motivation'

Motivation...just is. It is also highly changeable.

The same student might enter a course with a highly intrinsic motivation for a topic, slide towards a more extrinsic motivation as a test or exam approaches, and then migrates back to intrinsic if a well thought out project is given.

Course and pedagogy design are highly influential on the types of motivation as are social and emotional factors. Self-regulation of emotion is definitely an area of development and (maturity) but there is no right, the potential for multiple different forms of motivation exists in everyone.
Wonder what knuckleheads at Valve signed off on this one. The ability to provide true ownership to players, and the ability to make real income off of your time investment in a game is huge.

I would argue that blockchain will eventually have it's biggest use case in gaming, and every studio/publisher/platform that doesn't get on board with this is going to miss the next big disruption for our industry.

Games like Fortnite and World of Warcraft have shown that in-game currencies can be a big thing. What happens when that isn't centrally controlled by a developer, and is distributed throughout the community?

Steam is effectively saying no to the metaverse with this move, in my opinion. Developers are going to go elsewhere to ship their titles.

On this note, my startup is building a decentralized browser games platform that leverages WebAssembly to enable Unreal Engine developers to export any game to HTML5 at near native performance, and we're currently working on WebGPU support. We welcome all games, including those powered by NFT's and blockchain. We will be expanding the platform to support Unity games in the future as well. In addition to hosting, we provide a complete suite of end-to-end tooling for exporting binaries to the web using advanced compression and an asset streaming system so players can jump into the action quickly and experience desktop quality games right inside their browser of choice.

If you're interested in our platform and tools, you can join our Discord here for more information:

The people in the civil rights movement did eventually win the majority, but my point is, they didn't do it by appealing to pity. I would argue that they could never have done it by appealing to pity.
I take your point, but I disagree: your statement assumes that there are conscious beings who are not my kin (and to be clear, by "kin" I broadly mean animals: living entities that are embodied and show characteristics like intention, mood and emotion). But there isn't any evidence that these exist and there's little if any evidence that they are even possible.

At best, you can put forward a thought experiment that starts with, "Suppose there are beings which are not animals but which are nonetheless conscious." I'm questioning the premise of that thought experiment, however, because so far as we can tell, there is no such thing.

In other words, computers are not conscious because they are not animals.

This may seem like circular reasoning, but not if you take the view that consciousness is a fundamental property of animals as opposed to an emergent property of complex systems.
I think the problem is that there isn't really any compelling evidence to suggest that men are more drawn to engineering because of biology. I would actually invert your last paragraph: there are so many plausible extrinsic reasons that men are more likely to go into STEM than women that it doesn't make sense to try to explain away these gender gaps as being due to some intrinsic difference.

I think it's fair to say that you can believe that the difference is biological without it being sexist. But it is also true that many people who hold this belief are sexist (in fact most misogynists probably do believe this), so people being hesitant to give a platform to people taking this angle is understandable.
From the article:

> Gross has also put some significant work into improving the performance of the CPython interpreter in general. This was done to address the concern that has blocked GIL-removal work in the past: the performance impact on single-threaded code. The end result is that the new interpreter is 10% faster than CPython 3.9 for single-threaded programs.

I imagine there are many more unreported statistics of the devastation caused by government lockdowns.
This is an excellent point. It's fun to blame consultants, but the amount of M&A that has occurred can probably be implicated for half of the complexity seen in banking today.

The nuance with M&A between 2 banks is that one usually "wins" in terms of the core tech (i.e. where all the customers and accounts are ultimately stored) and absorbs the other. There are companies that specialize in this exact activity. The part where it gets super messy is with the jurisdiction-specific systems & procedures that have to be folded into 1 operational space.
You're discussing incentives that maybe some major drug companies might have, but they aren't the only ones around. I guess, the more accurate position is that there are strong upper bounds to how effective a secretly suppressed drug could be. Imagine that ivermectin just cured covid for a minute. The would be incredibly easy to prove in a study. I mean just observational studies would be glaringly obvious. What ambitious young scientist wouldn't want curing covid on their resume? So you have to believe, either the vast majority of scientists, the press, or government are complicit in this conspiracy and I don't see strong incentives for any of those groups.

>Much of the sound we hear in a typical movie is either created or substantially altered in post-production. If the sound were simply recorded along with the picture and left at that, the microphone would pick up too much background noise and not enough dialogue. An engineer therefore adjusts the intensity of the audio at different frequencies, adds or filters out ambient sound, and introduces a subtle amount of reverb, so the sound matches the spatial environment shown onscreen.

That's not the half of it. For many scenes and pretty much every scene outdoors, they use ADR, which means the actors went into a studio and recorded their lines dubbing over their lip movements on film. Not to mention foley artists recreate every footstep, door open/close, etc - very little of that is natural in a hollywood film.
Self reporting is a notoriously bad measure. It would be nice if we had actual, measurable data to go on.
It's funny how I was starting to nod my head at your comment, because yes, I agree that there's some obvious reasons why american men are less interested in college, and fine, maybe "actively hostile" is a little much but I directionally agree, and then there's:

> Just imagine how fraught trying to date would be if you were a young man in a university now and had heterosexual leanings.

What? THAT's why the educational system is actively hostile towards boys and young men? Because non-consensual sex is less acceptable than it was 20 years ago?

I know young men in college, and things are fine. People drink a little less, talk a little more, are more careful about sex. Everyone still dates, and has sex, and has a good time.

And I've seen what happens to rape victims, and it is awful. No one should have to experience that. If the tradeoff is people communicating more and drinking less in exchange for fewer campus rapes, I'm all for it.
No, dating apps are mostly for hookups and that kind of thing. Ive heard a few sucecss stories but almost no long term relationships from them. I think thats more when people get older and not so many are looking for hookups any more that dating apps are more helpful. Though tbh I probably wouldnt want to date someone 5-7 years from now who used to have a lot of hookups, same with a lot of guys I know, so it will be interesting to see what those people do in the future.
I run into occasional HSTS issues on my home network sometimes because I've wildcarded HSTS and not everything internal has a cert. It's usually recently arrived IoT stuff that hasn't been cordoned off behind a stronger proxy.

Additionally, I run my own internal CA for various reasons and Firefox/Android seems to have stopped recognizing it. Irritating but it's a good razor for whether to upgrade internal or experimental apps to a Let's Encrypt cert.
Insolvency would be a better metaphor than fractional reserve. But I'm guessing* Tether doesn't actually offer to settle up in any reserve currency.

I don't agree with "Kubernetes is an orchestration system for containers originally designed by Google" statement. White it is not false, it creates a wrong impression of what K8s is.

Kubernetes is a cloud operating system which lets you run modern apps in any environment. One important component of course container orchestration, but it went far beyond just orchestrator. Kubernetes has a very powerful ecosystem, and it managed to unite almost all infrastructure vendors and projects. Its amazing to see how so many competing companies could agree on something. And that become K8s.

Nomad is great when you're working with VMs, but I don't see it is much relevant in the modern era of K8s and cloud-native.
If refusing to work with a company is impossible, it's a monopoly, right? Otherwise, you are free to respond to the too-powerful company the same way you respond to the too-expensive sandwich.

If a company is using its power to do something harmful, write laws against the harmful thing, irrespective of how much power the company has. Illegalizing shadow profiles of non-users would be a good step forward, illegalizing them only for FB-sized companies would be less good.

If a handful of companies are operating as a monopoly, that's already well-defined as an oligopoly.

I think the only other situation where a company can be too powerful is if they get too much power over the regulators. I expect it's rare to get there without becoming a monopoly or oligopoly, but it's probably not impossible.

This is a definition that is broad to the point of uselessness.

Regardless of what program I use to communicate with my friends, that program is now a monopoly. Even if I coded up the website myself and my friends and I are the only ones to use it, that website now "owns access" to all my friends. It is absurd to label this website a monopoly.

This is also not actionable. Once my friends and I all decide on a communication platform, that platform is a monopoly and must be broken up (?), by removing some of my friends from the platform (?). In that way, it would literally be impossible for me to have a platform where I can communicate with all my friends, because such a platform would be a monopoly and must be broken up by your definition.
Let's remember the convoluted money laundering scheme involving asset flips, card packs, gems, and Steam marketplace. What a mess that was.

1. Create an asset flip game with steam trading cards.

2. Generate steam keys and give to bots

3. Bots farm the cards.

4. Convert the cards to steam gems.

5. Buy legit cards with gems.

6. Sell legit cards on Steam Marketplace.

7. Buy sought-after game on Steam.

8. Sell game on the gray market for real money.

Let me know if I messed up any of those steps. It's been a few years.

About half the places I've worked, and all the place with more than a couple dozen employees, have had formal security levels on emails, data, and documents. It is common enough practice that plugins exist to set the levels in MS Office tools. These covers PII as well as confidentiality and simply "internal only" levels of content.

If you haven't worked in a large company in recent years, maybe you haven't seen it, but it feels fairly standard these days.
I agree in general, but my understanding is that if anything the technical challenges that people point out today as attracting analytical male brains were even harder in the past. The earliest computer programs were written by hand without access to the computers themselves.

I don't think programming was a field that used to be about people skills and slowly morphed into something analytic and technical today, programming today seems to me to be much more user-friendly and social.
It's not validation, and your dislike is misplaced in the context of kevincox's comment: "But if those are big enough to need their own work I can't divide further to keep myself organized", where they are very much needed to track the work which needs to be done.

The emergent behaviour of a jira installation seems to be one which more often serves management-by-ticket, not the "task progress" aspect of a lab notebook.

Discounting Amazon's grip on the cloud computing sector is a mistake.
Despite what a lot of people believe, girls in the US still are given the message that engineering, computers, and hard sciences aren't 'right' for them. Things are slowly changing but its not there yet, not when most of the population of the UI also thinks girls aren't suited to these professions.

HN, by and large, also happily insists that men are naturally better than women at logical thinking. You'll see it all over this thread.

It's not hard to challenge this belief once one starts looking outside the US. We had female poster here, a couple of months ago, who said that in Gaza the computer science courses were 60-70% female. It's hard to reconcile that with hand-wavey statements about 'brain chemicals' so it's easy to ignore.

> Further, at
least until 2018, Respondent’s internal accounting system for tracking fiat balances, including
bank balances for USDt reserves, primarily consisted of a spreadsheet (the “Reserve
Spreadsheet”). The Tether executive team was ultimately responsible for the Reserve
Spreadsheet. The Reserve Spreadsheet required manual updates and was not always kept up to
date in real time. Respondents were aware of the limitations of the Reserve Spreadsheet. For
example, in an internal chat on June 15, 2016, Tether’s then-Chief Strategy Officer informed
Respondents’ CFO and other employees stated that the: “transparency page needs to be dealt
