This is nonsense. If you are subjected to continuous, vitriolic, realistic rape threats on Twitter then this is inevitably going to stress you and make you feel somewhat unhappy or unsafe. But if you are a 14-year-old, or otherwise particularly vulnerable, then they may cause acute depression or suicide.

This Act isn't about antivaxxers or climate change deniers. It is about revenge porn and vicious cyberbullying, and I am not prepared to stand up for either.

> Yes, it is generally accepted. But people don't like it. For example it explains why there are more men in high-status positions, which again, people don't like, and try to rail against ("We need more women in XYZ!").

It's important to remember that high IQ and high-status positions don't correlate. High IQ is no indicator for success in live. If you actually measure people with higher societal status, you'll probably find quite a few with high IQ. But we must not interpret that in any way, because that's hindsight bias: We don't see all the high-IQ people not in high-status positions.

Psychologically, the more relevant variable for success in live is motivation.

(As a sidenote, IQ itself is by no means an objective measurement. The theories of intelligence are and were strongly influenced by the respective world views of its creators. Cattell for example, the inventor of fluid and crystallized intelligence, most probably differentiated between both as a way to explain racial differences: Everybody has crystallized intelligence, but only the white have highly developed fluid intelligence. He distanced himself from his early views a few months before his death, but the theory remained popular for many decades.)

This is not because I think this is the way to get rich, but because it gives you the greatest freedom. Taking on investors should be your last resort, not first step. Making something great and living a good life is more important than money.

I would really feel a need to live in the place with hot water running from the taps, a working in-house plumbing and heating, a serviced waste disposal facility withing walking radius, the electricity service, an internet connection, a speedy access to all kinds of emergency services etc. Not to mention the reliable service level (e.g. I would want to get an electrician to look (and likely fix) at a failure within a day).

I have wandered "in the country" and there are either
- areas where the services are set up in the same way as in the city (large amount of "sanitation and sewage professionals" are involved)
- areas where you have to cope with a subpar standards of living

The plastic which held them in place was always broken on the school computers :-)

In all seriousness though, I personally owe a great debt to Sophie Wilson et al for building computers and software that made it very easy to start programming the second after turning a computer on; A BASIC interpreter and an Assembler available instantly from ROM. I had endless hours of fun building parallax scrolling star fields by poking directly to video RAM and slowly rendering 3d scenes in Render Bender. It was just a shame that the computers were so expensive.

I spent about a year of savings on my 'beeb' and it was the best money I ever spent. All tricked out it cost as much as a very decent second hand car, a very large amount of money for me back then, I very much recall that I bought the drive enclosure long before I could afford the drives (I basically bought the whole thing piece-by-piece as money became available). Because I couldn't afford the drives I hacked my Sony cassette deck to function as a sort of poor-mans disk drive by connecting the buttons to the user port and the end-of-tape detector to an input pin so I could tell roughly where the head was on the tape. Really slow, especially during on-tape sorting but it worked.

How far do you take that right though? Does the person you're trying to say it to have to hear you, or are they allowed to block you? Are you allowed to set up multiple accounts to evade the block? Are you allowed to take the message to AFK-world - sending letters through the mail or telephoning your insults?

The Criado-Perez trolls who were jailed didn't just send a couple of messages. They bombarded Criado-Perez with hundreds of messages.

> threats that [Sorley] had sent, including "just got out of prison and would happily do more time to see you buried” and “Rape?! I'd do a lot worse things than rape you!!"

Here she talks about the type of messages she was getting.

http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/aug/04/caroline...

Note that she says:

> She is still getting violent threats, and two people have now been arrested. When she was campaigning, she was getting hostile messages, she says, but they were relatively benign. "Get back to the kitchen, shut up, fuck off. That was just people being unpleasant and not liking feminists. But it was nothing that would have led me to report them to the police."

> Now, she is dealing with something altogether different. What kind of tweets has she received? "Gosh." She looks embarrassed. "So, for example, someone was talking about giving me a good smashing up the arse. Somebody said: 'All aboard the rape train.' Some guy tweeted another guy asking if he wanted to join in raping me." Then there were the death threats. "One was from a really bright guy who said: 'I've just got released from prison.'" She shows me her phone: "I'd do a lot worse than rape you. I've just got out of prison and would happily do more time to see you berried [sic]. #10feetunder." The tweet is signed Ayekayesa. There is another one, equally chilling. "I will find you, and you don't want to know what I will do when I do. You're pathetic. Kill yourself. Before I do. #Godie."

I hope you can see there's a difference between someone saying "FOAD" and someone sending hundreds of death and rape threats per day from multiple different accounts.

Start writing your own Backends for some Apps that you're working on. You'll quickly run into areas where you need to worry about different levels of the backend stack.

Make a request to get some data? Done.

Button to generate CSV report fires off a request which takes way too long? Uh-oh it's keeping a thread occupied on your server that could be busy serving other requests. Time to get familiar with fronting your infrastructure with nginx as an evented way to handle loads of connections. Now you're diving into getting familiar with events vs threads vs processes for handling connections.

Want to have the UI respond immediately to that export request? Now you're into the realm of having the export be processed in a background queue so that the http request returns immediately with a job number you can poll the status of later.

You've now got a background worker pulling export work items off a queue. How are you going to ensure that this process is running all the time on a production environment. Time to look at either daemonizing the process, or using a process supervisor, this is where you're finding out a little more about process return/error codes, and forking.

The laboured point I'm making is that familiarity will come naturally as you solve use cases, and your mental toolbox of "bits of knowledge" for the backend will grow as you research how to solve problems you come across day-to-day.

Yeah the challenge is the way we attach value judgements to the different things genders tend (generalization) to be better at.

This is purely anecdotal, but in my extended family many members believed the "we're all the same" view. I was given whatever toys I wanted whether they were considered masculine or feminine. It challenged people to see me grow up and be obsessed with heavy machinery - something they obviously saw within a masculine stereotype.

EDIT: I'm male
Having lived through so much of the polictically correct conditioning about equality of everybody I became pretty numb to it. Then having a child and seeing the stark difference between play habits of boys and girls made me think about it again.

Then, to answer your question a bit more directly:

IT people making past mistakes over and over again is somewhat related to the pendulum of centralization/decentralization that swings with some regularity. This means that every couple of years a new generation comes along with tech that is relatively new at that point in time who experience the same needs as were present a full cycle ago. Using the new tools they then implement solutions which may be prettier but fundamentally not as strong as solutions that are much older but extremely crude from a presentation point of view.

Examples of these are plentiful, and this is still besides the NIH syndrome that plagues the industry in a more concurrent fashion.

> What better way to understand differing views than to sit down and talk. I really don't understand the notion that suppressing an argument will make it go away. It reminds me of security through obfuscation.

Not only suppressing your oposition is a wrong way to go if you care about "understanding differing views", it seems to me as a pretty lame way to do things even if you want to just get rid of it. A better way is to figure out a way to satisfy them somehow, so that they lose momentum.

Why not, instead of directly silencing your opponent, go to him and say: "We hear you, we understand you're angry, people have a right to hear it. you know what? How about we give you a late-night talk show. We can talk to the News Source, they'll open up a slot for you. You'll even get paid properly, so you can funnel this money into furthering your cause if you so choose."

And then you can just sit and watch how your oposition disappears into background.

Simple solution:

* A and B can't both be true, which means that C is false.

* If C is false, A must be false.

* B and D have a paradoxical relationship, given the others - if B were true, D would be true, which would make B false, so B must be false.

* D is false, given A, B, C are false.

* E is true, given A, B, C, D are false.

* F is false because E is true (typo corrected as per comment)

In modern bucket seats the risk of whiplash injury is incredibly minimal. Your head doesn't have the distance to travel far enough to hurt your neck.
