As the pool of eligible husbands diminishes, the pool of men who simply can't get a wife grows and the disparity between the lucky and unlucky men increases. I'm sure you can see how this can generate social friction inside a nation?

I'm not making a moral statement either way here, just observing some forces that I believe do affect our lives.
The event is referred to as the "6-4 incident" in Chinese (六四事件), so the month-day order is correct. Generally the year is listed first in full dates (e.g., 1989年6月4日), but it's arguably still recognizable when it occurs afterwards.

[edit] Addendum: BTW, I just noticed the link you supplied refers to the Republic of China, which is the de facto government in Taiwan currently and is different from the People's Republic of China, which is what most people refer to as "China". The PRC follows the regular Gregorian calendar in YYYY-MM-DD format.
> ... even if people had treated her like a pretty doll for her entire life she would still be the same. Intelligent, critical and capable.

Intelligence withers if it isn't stimulated. The other traits are completely acquired.

Education is not only about career, but about preventing stupidity at large. See [1], for example, keeping Poe's law[2] in mind.

I don't think that evil at all. I think people use that word way to fast. Killing people is evil. Lieing is evil. As long as they are open about it, which they seem to be, I think it's perfectly okay. Maybe if someone is willing to pay, that's often even a better indication of relevance then some random metric on links.

I also think there was also a study about Google, which found that many people can not tell apart ads and normal results.
I've had several international student friends from China. One of them, when they first arrived, gobble up all the information that was censored in China. E.g. taiwan, tiananmen, tibet, etc. And now hates the Communist party to the guts. Then there is another one who said Tiananmen was unfortunate... but it was "necessary"; That one also praised Jiang Zemin on modernising the economy, and told me to focus on that instead.
Well, if it isn't a coincidence, someone's certainly going to get in trouble if we keep shouting about it.

Also I could see this thread getting HN blocked over there too.
Yes, that's a huge problem with education — if it's geared towards scoring well on tests, and collaboration and research is often "cheating", then it promotes facile understanding.

For a job, tests are fine; you want to know if someone has a basic foundation of ability before they cut into you. But that's different from actual education, the kind that people go through for the first decades of their lives. That should be about something deeper than reliably scoring 90% on mindnumbing series of tests. Like critical thinking and self-directed learning.

Hang on, did anyone propose affirmative action here or something? All the blog talked about was trying to praise girls for their smarts rather than their looks. If this is enough to cause misery for you, I think you have self-esteem issues.

Sorry the blog talked silently about a lot of things, which squarely put the blame on people for a lot of mistakes which girls make personally.

I appreciate my nephew all the time when he wins a running race or plays cricket well. But that is never taken as something that can be used to be bad at academics nor does not speaking about he being good at studies permanently deter him from being good at studies.

If girls aren't good looking, how does that stop them from picking up a book and studying hard for an entrance exam. Or burning the midnight oil meeting a tough deadline? None of that has anything to do with beauty. That's something which has to come from within. Willingness to work hard and go to tough times is what brings success and that is irrespective of gender.

Somehow I find it difficult to accept that argument that saying somebody that they look good suddenly becomes the reason to be never good at anything else ever after.

Are you serious?

> by saying "citation needed" what you actually say is "I don't really care for your opinion".

You're saying "I don't care for your random opinion you could have pulled out of your ass with no correspondence to the real world, please demonstrate that you didn't just make that up."

When you make a claim that you want to be taken seriously, cite your source. It's not hard, and it's sure as hell not anyone else's job. If you don't cite a source, people will reasonably assume that you have none, and disregard what you're saying. That's fine if you don't care, but I repeat, if you want to be taken seriously, cite your source.

That job is yours and yours alone, for a couple of reasons.

Firstly, only you can cite your source because only you actually know what source you used.

Secondly, from a utilitarian efficiency perspective, if it takes X minutes to look up and post the source, then the total time spent when you cite your source is X, but if you don't, and everyone has to look it up themselves, the total time spent is X*n, where n is the number of people who read your post. For values of n greater than one, this is dumb. Do the sourcing once, to avoid duplication of effort.

I think you're missing the point.

The question is not whether you can appreciate someone's physical characteristics. The question is whether you should appreciate someone's physical characteristics first, foremost, and most importantly above all of their other characteristics.

The fact that there is a general rise in anorexia nervosa amongst all genders, is not to say that men in American society suffer equally with women (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anorexia_nervosa#Epidemiology ).

More over, the notion that complimenting someone on their appearance will some how coax them out of a psychiatric disorder is naïve at the very least, and destructively ignorant at worst.

Anorexia nervosa is about appearance. If you give an anorexic any indication about their physical appearance you are reinforcing their condition. Complements are taken as an indication that starving themselves (or purging in the case of bulimics) works, and that they must continue the behavior to continue to receive complements. Attempts to inform them that they look unattractive (even if it's due to the fact that they're starving themselves) will be taken as an indication that they have not sufficiently starved themselves into attractiveness. You can not logic a person out of an eating disorder. Psychiatric disorders can not be reasoned with, and attempting to do so really does just court disaster (would you attempt to reason with an alcoholic?).

I sincerely urge you to read up on psychiatric disorders and the way that they are managed, it's a really challenging subject, and common wisdom about them is usually incorrect.
Sadly, this isn't seen as the wake up call it should be, but as a joke.
By that logic, aren't the booth babes just as pointless? If the idea is to drive sales, and those people aren't there to make purchasing decisions, then it's a lost cause.

I could recount similar anecdotes, I think there is a lot to be said for the way that women who put their intelligence on display are treated. A talented intelligent male with an ego is regarded as a condescending elitist genius, but the same traits ascribed to a female makes her an intolerable bitch.

So is this the new standard for conversations in the age of the iPad? In any conversation, people will wildly touch their pads to get the sources to show off to their discussion partners? Doesn't make much sense to me... I consider HN a casual discussion, not a scientific discourse. I might snatch up some ideas - if they seem interesting, I can do research to learn more.

If your first reaction to whatever I say is "you pulled that out of your ass" then yes, I think you don't have much respect towards me and not much interest in what I have to say, and I don't feel inclined to waste energy to educate you. I am not asking you to believe me, merely to consider ("ponder") what I say. If you are not willing to do that, maybe you should talk to somebody else instead.

The point about efficiency is moot. A lot of people might already know the fact, and otherwise the first who expends the energy to do the research could just post it. On the other hand posting lots of sources could be irrelevant and a waste of time for the people who are already informed.
Please consider changing your racist attitude.

I am not saying that looking good doesn't matter, sure it does. But it begins to truly matter only if you want it to.

The world is a tough place. Its difficult out there for the mild hearted. But that's the case with all the genders. When I was not allowed cricket for my school team, I didn't take that as male oppression or something that should dumb me down for ever. Although the common perception at that time was, if you played well you are more likely to get a girlfriend at that directly cor related to being smart. Its just that I was meant to do something else. Which I did eventually and did pretty well.

Today I have trouble getting a bride for marriage(here in India these things matter a lot). But I know deep down within me, I may not be a alpha male among the pack, not very muscular, smart good looking and physically active. But for the kind of hard work I put in I will be a lot more richer than the alpha males.

In fact this happens all the time, The society is sure responsible for these sort of perceptions. But they become the reality only if we want to.

Now to all girls who reject me to settle with a alpha male, when you discover a decade later I'm more financially rich. Please don't call that women's oppression. That just making wrong decisions and paying for it later.

AOL is a big org, and different sections have different needs.

The business guys think the conflict of interest is a selling point - take CrunchFund money, or risk TC slamming your business! The people in AOL management who actually care about journalistic integrity (both of them?) think it's bad.

It seems the compromise position is to move Mike (the guy who upholds TC's integrity) off TC, so there's no conflict of interest, and move some corporate guy in there to keep things honest.
I think it's a great idea, too, except for 2 things:

1) If you buy the game, you pay the same price as getting it at a store, but with no recourse if the company goes under.

2) The video is pretty bad. It's 720p with a lot of lossy compression. I tried it for one of the Lego games (which I'm quite familiar with on my consoles) and it felt really fuzzy and indistinct. It wasn't a very pleasant experience.

I could forgive both of them if the games were cheaper, but they aren't. (And can't be, really, since the game publishers aren't going to give them a break... At least, not until they realize their DRM is unhackable.)
If you want to go there... I don't think psychiatric disorders are being caused by the media or by being told "you are pretty" too often when you are a child.

By telling somebody they are pretty I am also not telling them that it's the "first, foremost, and most important above all of their other characteristics". You are creating a straw man here.

Of course I don't think telling somebody they are pretty will cure their disorders. But it can make somebody's day nevertheless.

PPC era saw macs that were significantly slower than their intel/amd counterparts.

This is subjectively correct. The G4 and G5 had Altivec coprocessing units which were the precursors to SIMD and GPGPU. A few apps could take advantage of it to do video processing and vector calculations but most cross platform apps(like Office or Photoshop) just didn't use it at all, putting the G5 at a severe disadvantage. Also, Intel was, sort of, cheating with their NetBurst architecture. Deeper and deeper pipelines allowed them to get higher clock speeds without adding much actual performance. Ops just sat in the queue longer, but their predictive caching algorithm was very advanced (I'll give them that). Once they got as far as they could go, clock wise, with the P4 they simply started packing more processors on the die (core duo). In fact, their saving grace came from their competitor AMD with the x86_64 extension set.

PPC had the ability to go much faster (as seen in the 3GHz X360, PS3) they just couldn't get the die smaller nor the power down. IBM had the performance advantage with their Power7 CPUs but weren't really interested in the consumer CPU market and left Apple holding the bag. Apple wanted smaller, low power CPUs for their laptops and found it in Intel. Windows compatibility (at least through VM) was icing on the cake.

I'm working on a python application that analyze the market feeling about a particular stock. I'm looking forward to open source after the basic part is done.

1)It finds and prepares database of tweets about public companies by searching tweets containing Company's name or ticker symbol.

2)Tags them as positive, negative or neutral comment.

3)Prepare a report depicting market sentiments about a particular stock over a period of time.

4)Compare it with how stock is actually doing in that time period and after that.

It is an experimental project to check if we can predict how the stock will fare by measuring the market sentiments toward it and if it is reliable or not.

"lack of respect for others (who do have to suffer looking at you)"

What looking good means biologically? It's actually how men appreciate the health and fertility of the women - the healthier she is the prettier she will look for most men.
"Or, rather, whenever I see these self-help/express yourself better/empower yourself authors they all look very attractive and poised. Female and Male."

This is simply a small exposure of society's big secret: ANYONE can look attractive, even stunning, given a professional hair stylist, wardrobe person, makeup artist, and photographed properly under proper lighting, and then photoshopped.

All those "beautiful" people on TV? Almost without exception, at home they look just like you or me.

Momentum that even Google has no control over, and it likely to pull the platform apart into multiple branches (fragmentation). Just look at what Amazon has planned for their new 7" tablet for example, it will be hardly recognisable as Android. They are stripping out all of the Google services and branding. As another example, look at what Baidu are planning to do with Android in China. Again, a completely different branch of Android is forming, it's like desktop Linux all over again (and we all remember how well that went when it came to dislodging Windows).

It you had said that iOS had won, I would have thought fair enough (as much as it pains me that iOS currently represents the future of mobile computing), but Android? Really?

I used to work on a medical technician team of five as the only male. We had to replace one of the women who left, so put out an ad. We all went through the resumes, and there were two with the techincal skills, both female. Everyone agreed on getting in those two. There was a third candidate who didn't have the proper tech skills, but he did have 'has appeared as a model on TV on this show and that show'. He was given an interview based on this line - my colleagues wanted to see the eye-candy, even though they denied it - there were women with better skill matches than this guy (though only the initial two had the right matches out of all). This guy got dragged into a job interview solely so the women could check him out physically; he was never going to get the job.
