This is not the gotcha you think it is.

Sibling already pointed some things out. Specifically for doctors, go ahead and look up what specializations men go into primarily and what specializations women go into primarily. The only high paying one I noticed being particularly female-dominated is dermatology, and it's not that much of a difference. The male-dominated specialties tend to have far more high earning specializations, and the ratios are far more skewed too.

As for lawyers, I can't speak except for the fact lawyers work more akin to salesmen and make a lot of money based on performance, and once again, historically speaking, men have always dominated on anything performance-based. Law is an exception, and it's an extremely poor one at that.

As for both, both medicine / biomedical sciences and law pale in comparison to every other field known to both pay well and do so with high security still being largely in favor of men, whereas fields with low pays and low security tend to be dominated by women. Most STEM fields women dominate aren't known for paying well compared to the ones men dominate. Comparing those fields to social sciences is a no-brainer. All of this still excludes entrepreneurship and high-paying blue collar work still being dominated by men.

None of this exempts the fact historically, women have never chased money through career nearly as much as men, and have always placed far higher value on a man's status than vice versa. There are cultural reasons why this has changed, and none of those reasons are necessarily pointing towards improvements. We can open this entire can of worms if you so desire, but it will go far too off-topic for this.
Would also recommend Sabine Hossenfelder for some similar views on the path physics is taking / dangers of popsci https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36341728-lost-in-math

I've also enjoyed her YouTube videos that have knocked down a lot of my popsci derived thoughts.
It's obvious the writer of the article felt what he was asked to do was a mere distraction, made obvious by his statement that he would rather go back to "focusing on producing great software"

This would have sense if it wasn't for the fact that the company that he works for, the folks that are paying him to be there, are actually asking him to do the thing that he is paying lip-service to.

I would hate to have an employee who doesn't do what they're directed to do because they thought they knew better. Unless it's something illegal, if you're going to collect a paycheck, you either do what you're asked to do or you leave. You don't continue to take their money but do something other than what they're asking for. Ridiculous.

Counting integrated graphics, it might have a lower market share. But when it comes to discrete graphics (which most people on the gaming scene, including all the other sectors, actually run), nvidia has 83% of the market share according to [1].

Going by public information(https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-announces-financia...), "graphics" is still the majority of their income at about 58% (other part being "Compute & Networking" at 42%). However, "graphics" also include "the Quadro/NVIDIA RTX GPUs for enterprise design, GRID software for cloud-based visual and virtual computing, and automotive platforms for infotainment systems.", none of which are gaming use cases. Question is if those represent more than 10% of the "graphics" revenue or not.

My guess is yes. And even if 1% of consumer graphic cards are being sold for the non-gaming use cases, it seems pretty clear that the demand in the non-gaming use cases seems even bigger than gaming ones.

Also note that from the press release linked above, there are only a few lines dedicated to gaming. The rest is all about non-gaming use cases.
I would say a study done in 2020 is obviously going to have different results than 2010. You have 10 years of difference and changes in how people interact online. You also have different apps that fill certain niches. Shirtless may work on some platforms and not others. Selection by women may have changed because there are so many options, there may be finer selection criteria they use now that wasn't as common in that era.
Evidence? The dictionary disagrees with you. Dictionaries are compiled from the ways that people actually use language in the real world. Also, the etymology of "prove" has nothing to do with indisputable facts:

Middle English: from Old French prover, from Latin probare ‘test, approve, demonstrate’, from probus ‘good’.

Edit: I feel I was being a bit forceful with my replies here. You airing your pet peeve triggered my pet peeve with linguistic prescriptivism. Sorry about that.
Love all the new tech they're trying out here, but I think they really shot themselves in the foot with the "Quest Pro" branding.

The product still has some rough edges (e.g. that 1-2hr battery life), and consumers will undoubtedly confused this for an evolution of the Quest 2 (which it is not). This feels like a highly polished developer kit that they tried to pivot into an enterprise device in the last few months.

Perhaps they did so out of fear of the public market's response? Releasing an expensive research project in this economic environment might have been a bad look.
That was a rather enjoyable movie.
That definition was quoted from the first paragraph of your source, Wikipedia.

architecture

Specifically, what about it?

It's easy for me to imagine architects spinning models around Minority Report style with their hands, going on virtual walkthroughs, etc with VR apps.

It's less clear to me that these would actually improve the process. I realize that a 2D projection of a 3D object is always going to be a bit of a compromise, but are today's 2D interfaces and displays actually holding things back?

I'm thinking of the wave of "Minority Report" style interfaces that were proposed after that movie came out. They seemed to "obviously" be the future. But after a while everybody realized that moving a few cm on a mouse/trackpad was actually orders of magnitude more efficient than waving your arms around like a maniac for ten hours a day.

> Why does no government anywhere run a non-profit dating site from tax-payer money when this is becoming the most popular way people are meeting?

Popular does not mean effective. Online dating is the most toxic way of dating invented, so why would the governments contribute?
> Curious what your thoughts are on exposing more people to theoretical physics sans popsci buzzword articles?

It's a great thing to try to do; I try to do it myself as a contributor to Physics Forums [1], for example.

I'm not sure how much good books like The Trouble With Physics actually do as far as exposing more people to physics sans popsci, because, while they might point out issues with how speculative research in physics is done, they don't actually teach any physics.

I personally would recommend Feynman's books for the layman, such as QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter or The Character of Physical Law, or Six Easy Pieces (followed by Six Not So Easy Pieces), as ways for people to get at least some exposure to physics without popsci buzzwords. IMO even those books are limited, because you can't really understand physics without actually doing the math and solving some actual problems. But they're still way better than popsci articles (or, for that matter, popsci books like those of Brian Greene or Michio Kaku).

Well, occasionally people who abuse people in private prisons get put to justice. This is generally made difficult by ... of course ... the public part of the system (here we have involved: judges, a supreme court justice, the public prosecutor and the governor. It's about as public as it gets, the private prison was just a way to get the money out. The corrupt parts were very thoroughly publicly funded. And of course the vast majority of the corruption (ie. the public prosecutor, who was the real central part of it) got of without any consequences)

The prison with the worst reputation (deserved or not) is still Riker's island. And it's very much public. It has had it's share of corruption cases, but nobody was ever punished.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RQJq1ca7jM

And since people seem to really care about this part: Riker's island is very, very much violating the law constantly about the conditions. Everything from medical care, maximum occupancy, to temperatures (both in summer and in winter). The law is very clear: that means no more prisoners there until these issues are fixed. But that would cost money. So, of course, everybody in the justice system cooperates to violate the law. That, by itself, regardless of anything else, is a crime.
That just sounds like the optimal solution is to do zero match-making labor.
I'm not terribly familiar with Google Voice (it also isn't available in my country...), but they look similar in terms of functionality at this point in time. For me personally, the primary reasons to go with Relay would be that I'm already trying to move away from Google as much as possible for privacy reasons, that I'm already using Relay for email masking, and that Relay is explicitly focused on the privacy use case and will keep evolving in that direction.

It is not exactly increasing enrichment capacity, it seems it's more complicated than than. From https://twitter.com/TristanKamin/status/1579828412474351616, "UTS" is basically a tradeoff between enriching at the same level more uranium VS enriching to a higher level the same amount of uranium.

About your "fun fact": I don't claim that everything is perfect, but except from going back to the stone age, nuclear is by any measure the least worst option.
> what stopped it from becoming universally used

D had a lot of momentum in the beginning, but the license around the compiler scared away some people, then there was the whole standard library split with phobos and tango (irrelevant now and has been for over a decade), and from my understanding in the beginning (I wasn't around during that time) Walter added features by request as there wasn't a DIP process yet (D improvement proposals), and some people felt it was unfair. These have all been rectified.
That implication is not logical. It is unreasonable to expect bisexuals to seek 50/50 gender split.

First, even if the actual attraction is same for both genders, it would be reasonable to expect bisexuals to seek opposite gender partners way more. Pretty much anyone who wants bio children need opposite sex partner. Pretty much anyone who don't want to deal with stigma around gayness too kuch will prefer opposite gender partner.

Second, bisexuality does not mean the attraction is same. It it fairly normal for bisexual to be attacted toany people from one gender and few from the other. It is also fairly normal foe them to have periods where they go for one gender only (either as conscious decision or not).
They are building an empire on the backs of slaves, and they despise Western culture, so they would disagree.
It's essentially impossible to have a job opening without making choices that will directly affect which people see that job opening. If you go to some university's job fair, you're selecting for the students at that university. If you had chosen to go to a different university's job fair instead, the students who were exposed to your job posting would likely have different qualities. There is no "default behavior that doesn't constitute making a choice," thus the only thing we can debate is the virtues of which particular choice was made, not whether a choice was made.
This is a nice way to excuse your racism. A lot of people use this perverted logic.

But at the end of the day, it's still evil racism.

Different "worlds" (neighbourhoods, schools, health care) doesn't happen because of skin color, it happens because of wealth/poverty.

So if you apply a racist filter on top of the (implicit) wealth filter, you're just being racist against poor Asian & white people.
There are plenty of places where they aren’t uncomfortable with those questions.
It depends on how you want to argue. For me, refresh rate and FOV matter most. Low refresh headsets make me nauseated, and the Quest 1 can easily start to verge on that sickness after 30 minutes to an hour of playtime. The Index did a good job at mitigating that sickness feeling, and the FOV seems very desirable if people want to use these headsets as monitor replacements.
Indeed it's a decision that feels like it was made in a tonedeaf echo chamber. As a rule of thumb, if it is allowed on GitHub then coders are probably okay with that, and individual companies will have to use the dmca process.

This goes beyond that, taking the stance that by merely conforming your api to work with a user-provided proprietary checkpoint, you're in the wrong? This same philosophy forbids sharing open source game emulators, and we all know how that turned out (can be the best way to play a game).

How can wanting to chill with friends possibly make them a bad friend? You brought up a good point but then kind of ruined it with such a wild accusation.
You might be simultaneously right and also totally missing the point and rude.

I agree with the gp. The quest 2 has helped me connect with friends in different states that felt way closer to inviting them over to hang out at the house than just video chatting or whatever.

There is real value in that. Even my wife who is not techy at all enjoyed it after first laughing in my face at the idea.

For better or worse, meta seems to be the only company currently trying to push this forward. So meta it is for now.
> even if the battery is really old you'll almost certainly still have a few minutes

Very true! Battery from like 2015 still manages to keep it running for about two hours I think, which is frankly amazing. I was constantly dealing with taking the battery out of the laptop when not in use (98% of the time, it was connected to a charger, either in a classroom or at home, so I'd need only to bridge the stand-by/suspend/sleep period in the train). At the time, it didn't seem to have an effect as the battery still decreased in capacity and I was disappointed with the results, but I gotta say, it is certainly doing a good job since then!

Unfortunately, external drives on the 'server' are not on uninterruptible power and having two of them in a btrfs mirror caused me more headaches than I like to admit. Even after I figured out which one had the more recent data after going out of sync, I misunderstood the phrasing of the man page and mixed up the arguments for the device to be recovered and the device to recover from. 2/7 would not recommend btrfs on devices without UPS, or if you don't want to shell out the money to buy three instead of two large drives so you can have a 1:1 disk image of the known good device before starting to operate on it (which is what btrfs was supposed to do in the first place, but alas).

> A server drawing 25 Watts costs more than the $3/month I pay.

With the screen and keyboard backlight and such turned off, it should draw less than 25W unless you're actively making use of it (and thus it being worth it), but yes that's ballpark correct.

I also get a lot more value out of it than what I expect to get for $3/month, though :). LAN speed transfers can be nice, no network latency (at least not beyond of your control) when you host a game server, access control is all up to you, dedicated hardware, you can choose to upgrade to 16GB RAM at will (perhaps you got a new DDR4 machine and have no use for the old DDR3 RAM that still fits in this 'server') without having to pay extra every month for those gigabytes forever, buying storage basically at cost price...
My guess is that this in response to the X,000,000 dating sites that are all owned by the same companies and are minimal rebrands with identical shared content in order to capture SEO clicks, and the inevitable webview wrapper dating apps for them.

Doesn't asking such a loaded question make you a bad community member?
I hate this kind of apologism.

"It's all very simple if you're an industry expert following $company's every move!"

There is no way to use all features of a Quest without logging in _at least_ twice (once on a phone, once on the device itself, because some features are inexplicably only accessible through the app). If you've had it for a while, you've also had to deal with (potentially non-exhaustive list):

- an Oculus account (comes (came?) in linked/unlinked flavours)

- a Facebook account

- a Meta account (is that the same as the above? who knows!)

- a Horizon account (what even is Horizon?)

From the perspective of somebody who just bought the damn thing to use it, as far as I can tell none of these were avoidable if you followed the default flows. There's probably more now. That's ignoring steps on the phone, and linking steps between devices through URLs needing to be opened on a computer and all of that faff.

I'm sure there's a secret code phrase I could've garnered from some Reddit with 10k users that, if I had said it to Support, would have let me skip one of these steps - but who does that?
Perhaps that is true if you solely interact with food after it is dead and processed. Many people live much closer to their food production. I don't view the phrase "humane slaughter" as an attempt to insulate "us"; I think it is an acknowledgement by practitioners that they are mindful of what they are doing and to whom. It is also a direct reference to applicable laws where that term is codified.

Some people view killing animals for food as entirely humane, which is to say some combination of natural and ethical. You may not view any kind of animal slaughter as humane, but if pressed could you describe how humane your soy, wheat, etc. production is?
No, GP asked:

> How do you propose that people work *for free* at the behest of a leader directing such unpaid contributors how to o their work?

(Emphasis mine)

No coercion is involved, but they don't work for free, either. Free vs. paid is extremely relevant. If you were to strip out the paid contributions from the driver tree, for example, you'd be left with a handful of drivers, virtually none of which cover non-trivial devices released in the last fifteen years or so with anything near full functionality.
I wish it was teenagers. Reddit is terrified of old moderators leaving so they allow them free reign with zero accountability or even a way for users to dispute anything. They re probably having a hard time finding young people (they prefer discord) and are stuck with the same aging people moderating for 15 years. And those have become way worse megalomaniacs over time

Evidently, teenagers are not the problem
> there is a bias against women that encompasses the evaluation of their experience, their work profiles, the topics they're interested in, the projects they've completed previously, etc.

Actually, studies specifically aimed at measuring tech jobs indicate preferences favoring women candidates: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25069644

People frequently compare the rates of women in tech relative to the general population, not the pool of tech workers. This is misleading, when in fact most companies are quite balanced in terms of gender representation - relative to the representation of women in the field. 80% of nurses being women isn't a sign of men being disadvantaged any more than 80% of coders being men.

I should have added a qualifier for humane slaughter in regards to meat processing.

Yes, there are times when euthanasia may be appropriate - but it’s tough still to mete out the morality when no intent or consent is communicated, no?

Most “cruelty free” labeling is also farcical, unfortunately. The amount of suffering involved with animal agriculture is repulsively shocking when fully grasped, and difficult to unsee unless willful ignorance takes the proverbial wheel.
This is false. They evolve over time and you get pushed into various mandatory migration and linking/unlinking steps.

By the way, this kind of thing is in no way particular to Facebook - our entire industry has this much disrespect for its users.
