... that women, on average, were better at "mindreading" than men.

Were all-men and all-women teams tested? If mind-reading is the most valuable skill and women are more skilled than men, surely an all-woman team would be the paragon of teamwork?

It would be an interesting question because the popular stories of all-woman businesses have unhappy endings. Such as this one.

Now I blame the boss in the above article: In the third paragraph she admits her delusions of "...a female-only company with happy, harmonious workers". She opened shop with the philosophy that women are better and will do no wrong; so her business will be full of rainbows and unicorns, world peace and Christmas bonuses. But when the female employees started disrespecting her and neglecting their jobs, she did nothing. She proffers excuses; "... picking my battles carefully" and "... they would behave as they were treated", where her ideology was more important than reality. Contrary to feminist propaganda, a female-dominated workplace is just as destructive as a male-dominated workplace.

Thus, a comparison of all-women versus mixed-gender teams will reveal if gender describes the quality of teamwork regardless of the workplace.

But that was the only time. I have a very low opinion of the electorate.

I'm not here to defend obama (I'm not american), but british news sites are saying that actually he and UK prime minister cameron showed disagreement on encryption in friday's joint press conference. The WSJ reported an ambiguous statement, but the tone of the press conference sounded quite different to those who were there. Here some paragraphs from a Daily Mail's article:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new... ...But behind the smiles there remains sharp differences over Mr Cameron's call for US web firms to do more to open up encrypted messages to security services in the wake of the atrocities in Paris last week. ...

However, as the press conference progressed it became clear that differences remain over the extent to which security agencies should be able to snoop on encrypted messages and social media like WhatsApp, SnapChat and Facebook.

These aren't the articles I found last night, one of which was unequivocal, but you can start here:

The app is currently free, but as the firm explained, when its initial funding comes to an end in September 2015, they may consider subscription model or donations.

There’s no current plans to monetise the app, though one future possibility, should demand outstrip supply, is that power users could pay to top up the amount of help they require.

Get them hooked, then charge them money ... the same model both crack dealers and free videogames use. Yes, I'm cynical, especially since not-for-profits can be very profitable for those running them. Sure, offering a service, then charging those who need it the most is a viable business model, but it still sucks.

An adjustment period is to be expected when transitioning from an unustainable economy back to a sustainable one as people learn to wear sweaters indoors again, and to take in boarders to help share the bills as they did a century ago, etc. Unfortunately, people who are set in their ways are the most difficult to retrain, and that's likely why they are dying.

And when you are intolerant, you express blanket intolerance. Great way to make enemies and end up like Europe.

What in the world do you mean? Are you saying the attack was due to european "intolerance"? Way to blame the victim. And are you claiming islamists don't bear a grudge towards America? Riiiight..

Or it would make them feel oppressed and alienated, leading them to lend an ear to the extremists. Oh wait, this is exactly what is happening. You are your own worst enemy.

Are you saying the attackers joined al-Qaeda because of all the terrible oppression and discrimination? Research debunks that narrative time and time again, but some people just want to believe it I guess.
If France is so bad, why have muslims flocked there ever since the doors were opened in '72? And why don't they go back? Also, thousands of N Africans have joined their local al-Qaeda branch, or went to Syria to join IS, many more than the european muslims.
Do you realize they have waged a low-intensity civil war against French society for decades? Car burnings happen everyday, gang rapes targetting infidel women are common, as is rioting & looting. Just last month, I counted 5 "terrorist" attacks in France: 3 instances of muslims plowing cars into Christmas markets, one of stabbing a police officer, and one attempted strangling of a police officer. This goes on all over NW Europe.
Muslims cry oppression even in Sweden. To illustrate the sense of entitlement, newly arrived Syrian refugees there protested against their "cold and rural" accomodations:

There's plenty more, google "muslim rape gang" some time. Example from India:
http://vladtepesblog.com/2015/...

I've lived in several large and medium-sized european cities, the stories I could tell.. I know plenty of people who have been stabbed, pistol whipped, beaten up, groped or raped by muslims, even witnessed a few attacks with my own eyes. Sometimes they film their attacks and put them online, very smart.

The LEAST I now expect is for the relevant Muslim leaders to condemn that shit. To declare a fatwa that such behavior is un-Islam and that it is against Islam teachings.

You mean like this one (text available here)? Or this one? Or this one? Or this one?

The problem is that people who demand Muslims condemn violence actually don't care what Muslims have to say. It's just posturing.

I can supply plenty of more links, but I think it is clear from these and prior ones that this effect is well established in the literature. There's lots of speculation about the causes (community, stronger moral inhibitions against harmful behavior like smoking, ???) but the relationship is fairly consistent - religion does seem to correlate with favorable outcomes. For that matter, the fact that every major civilization has developed a religious tradition means that either humans are naturally prone to creating religions, or the civilizations with religion dominated the ones without, or some blend of the two. That in and of itself should make us question the impulse to dismiss it unilaterally.

As for dealing with a government that tries to nationalize those factories, I'm betting on the ability of the armed forces of China to be able to whoop any and even all Africa governments at once. Just an excuse to take a de facto colonization to the next level

I got this far...

Even in a war zone, there's other friendly and civilian aircraft in the skies.

Don't need to bother with the rest since your entire premise was wrong to start with.
In a war zone civilian traffic is routed around it, in the case of MH17, which I'm sure you either used or will use as an example.

this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...

Civilian aircraft are simply not allowed into designated war zones, in addition you entirely discount the ability to distinguish between friend and foe accurately, which is not working so well currently because of...anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Humans.

The point is that it shouldn't be a choice between kids or career.

Yeah the choice is kids or career without much water between the two. If you don't like that resign yourself to having your children raised by strangers and hired help, which for most isn't acceptable. Raising children takes time and effort, something that the convenience of white goods and reduced physical requirements in the workforce hasn't changed.

What we're seeing now is a lot of women who went into the workforce and discovered that they were going to be neither wealthy nor successful, just like 99% of men in the workforce. Instead they're going to have a middle class lifestyle that they'd probably have been able to enjoy anyway plus a family had they chosen to raise kids instead. Is it any wonder womens' happiness has been decreasing.

That's not to say that men shouldn't be househusbands except it seems women aren't very attracted by that. Patriarchy, right?

I think first of all that the religion of feminism needs to die loudly and publicly along with every other social engineering cult, and secondly that people need to learn to differentiate between "a career" and "financial independence". These aren't the same thing.

And do not mistake me for a conservative or a traditionalist, I am neither.

• 1. "Of course they were, most men were taking bullets on the various front for them"

• "When you see a girl in khaki or air-force blue with a bit of ribbon on her tunic - remember she didn't get it for knitting more socks than anyone else in Ipswich"
• (For a semi-balanced opinion on this little "book", I suggest reading the review by Peasant, which explains that the original was actually seven pages of ratty typescript, that the brown cover is a modern fake, and then has thoughtful ideas on the reasons for its use in 1942.)

• USA census 1940 Continental USA population about 132 million, plus about 2 million for Alaska, Hawaii, etc.
• 26.4% aged 5-19, so about 7.0% 16-19; 38.9% 20-44, so about 23.3% 20-34; 19.8% 45-64;
• so about 30.3% aged 16-34; assuming 50% male, that's about 20 million males 16-34;
• so about 35.4% aged 35-64; assuming 50% male, that's about 23 million males 35-64.
• In splitting the 20-44 counts I'm assuming that year by year births for those ages were roughly equal; I'm also ignoring that older people have higher mortality rates than younger people, because that's not going to have a major effect on rough calculations for these ages.
• The total serving in US army, navy, marines, coast guard were 1.8 million in 1941 rising to 12.2 million in 1945, or a (possibly misleading) yearly average of about 7.7 million.
• You also need to understand that a large number of those serving would have been in logistics and other support, a necessary requirement of modern war which Churchill seemed not to understand fully - he periodically complained about how many serving personnel in British and Commonwealth and Empire forces in the Middle East were not actually fighting.
• So from those numbers I suggest that "most" USA men were never anywhere near a front In World War 2. I'm not casting aspersions on their courage - I'm merely pointing out that in World War 2 most USA adult males were, like almost all USA adult females, considered not suitable for fighting and/or more useful in manufacturing, etc.

• 2. "There wasn't much women on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day"
• True. However, about 15% to 20% of the French Resistance were woman, and resisting the Nazis wasn't exactly safe.

And that's before we consider the Soviet women who fought as soldiers, partisans, in tanks, and in aircraft (bombers and fighters):

The Tissint meteorite fell in Tata Province, in the Guelmim-Es Semara region of Morocoo, on 18 July 2011. It broke apart in the atmosphere and rained material on to Earth, with several pieces being recovered and some being sold. It is also only the fifth Martian meteorite to be seen falling to Earth by eyewitnesses - the last being in 1962. Tissint had been ejected from the surface of Mars 700,000 years ago when an asteroid struct the surface. Of most interest is the sign of certain elements being carried into cracks in the rocks by water fluid, which has never been seen in a Martian meteorite before. Dr Philippe Gillet, director of EPFL's Earth and Planetary Sciences Laboratory, and colleagues from China, Japan and Germany performed a detailed analysis of organic carbon found in the meteorite. They concluded that it very likely had a biological origin. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sci...

"...via all the corrupt politicians they have caught and not reported."

Controlling politicians is big business.

The expose The Franklin Cover Up by former Senator John Decamp exposes high ranking politicians, clergymen and businessmen using and abusing children (mostly boys) regularly and sadistically.

These abuses are often recorded and then used to compromise powerful individuals.

Pedophilia is literally the fabric that binds the system together - which is also why these sickos keep getting off (no pun intended!).

It happens in every country. In Canada, these activities were exposed by whistle-blowing police officer Perry Dunlop.

In the UK, there are ongoing scandals which will likely end with little to no convictions and hundreds of abused victims with no justice or compensation.

In Belgium there is the famous Mark Dutroux case. Dutroux admitted to procuring children (mainly little girls) for "high ranking officials in police and government".

These pedophile rings operate 24/7 and involve some of the most prominent members of society and are always covered up.

With the seemingly limitless global surveillance technology, it would be folly to think that the 'five eyes' are unaware of these crimes - much less that they would actively investigate and convict these child rapists.

One of the more disturbing 'government sponsored' activites, is the CIA program The Finders, exposed by former FBI special agent, (the late) Ted Gunderson.

To make the changes required for humanity to truly evolve, these pedophiles need to be exposed and convicted.

"If your rights are violated you deal with it later"

What exactly do you gain by consenting to an illegal request of a power they do not have?

Not get killed? Live for another day where you can fight for legal remedy, and hopefully create a legal precedent that will prevent such violations in the future?

Subservience only reinforces their grandstanding and power playing.

This is all bravado from your part. Until you have actually dealt with situations like that, face to face, you ought to temper it and think a little.

There are moments in life when it is appropriate to disobey a law and deal with the consequences (see Rosa Park or Gandhi, or recently Arnold Abbott).

This is specially true if violations of your rights (or your "violation" of an unjust law) is done in public, to bring awareness to a just cause. This is particularly true when violations are the manifestation of egregious institutions (colonialism, institutionalized racism, to less diabolical but still egregious ones such as laws preventing feeding of homeless.

Here, you, the generic "you", are full aware of it, and you have a made a decision to take the hit for a greater cause. On the other hand, there are times to play possum, in particular if violation of your rights just happen because you are there on the wrong time, being incidental of you just being you, without you planning to take the hit for a greater cause.

You coming from an event and getting arrested because "you" look the profile, or getting handcuffed while picking up your kids because you look suspicious, even when teachers are vouching for you. Etc, etc.

In such cases when you are just living your daily life, play possum, litigate later. This is specially true when you have family that depends on you.

Telling other people to go martyr just because it sounds good and right, that's just unhelpful bravado. This has nothing to do with doing the right thing, but everything to do with making a post where you sound brave and rightful.

Ignorance of the law on the side of the police is not an excuse, just as ignorance of law among a civilian is no excuse.

None of that justifies telling other people to escalate things when in a position of vulnerability. This is not a comic book, and you are not GI Joe.

Learn to pick your battles, and you pick them, learn how to fight and win them.

Why thank you, Amazing Kreskin, for your profound legal insights.

After reviewing the evidence, of the three investigating officers, two (Wassgren and Gehlin) wanted him investigated for what would eventually be five charges (2x rape, 1x unlawful sexual coersion, 2x molestation), and one (Krans) wanted him for four (1x, 1x, 2x). The first prosecutor (Finne) first wanted him investigated for five (1x, 1x, 2x), then reduced it to what would become three (0x, 1x, 2x). An appeal from one of the victims was reviewed and found with merit (not unusual in Sweden, there's a strong victims' rights process), and a new prosecutor (Ny) was brought in, and the investigation resumed for all five (2x, 1x, 2x). A judge charged / anklagad him on all five counts (2x, 1x, 2x). Assange appeled the warrant and the Svea Court of Appeals held a full court hearing, with a jury, a review of all the evidence, and testimony from Assange's lawyers; they upheld four (1x,1x, 2x). He appealed to the Swedish Supreme court; they refused his appeal. The British lower court heard Assange's appeal (arguing malicious prosecution, flaws in the Swedish process, and an invalid EAW). The British lower court ruled against him on all counts. The case was heard by the British high court, which also ruled against him on all counts. And again, the British Supreme Court heard the case, and ruled against him on all counts.

But no no, who needs a pesky legal system when we have Amazing Kreskin here to tell us about how it's all a setup! Screw those lying b****s, right?

Heck, Assange's attorneys have all but admitted that he did it. Check out Emmerson's court statements, where he bloody admits that Assange started F*ing SW unprotected while she was asleep. Let it not be forgotten that the courts have SW's SMS records from that night where she's bitterly complaining about about how Assange keeps trying t F* her unprotected despite her telling him again and again and how annoyed she's getting about that), testimony from a friend and a family member she chatted with right before the event while she was out buying breakfast, and on and on, making it pretty unambiguous that she'd been refusing unprotected sex - something that neither Assange nor his attorneys have contested. Emmerson tries to argue that consent is implied because she didn't immediately push Assange out when she woke up to him F*ing her. But that's of course a nonsense legal claim. One, you can't get "retroactive consent", it has to be present from the beginning. Two, F*ing a sleeping person is explicitly illegal in both Swedish and British law; the fact that it was done in a manner she had been explicitly refusing is merely listed as an aggravating factor. Three, the reason she'd been refusing unprotected sex was paranoia about STDs, and it was already too late, she'd have to go to the hospital either way (just ignoring the "shock" aspect, which I can tell you is *very* real; it was already too late. As her ex boyfriend of 2 1/2 years testified, she was so paranoid about unprotected sex that she not once allowed it in their entire relationship, and *still* made him get an STD test.

His freaking *defense* attorneys are admitting that he did it, so why should anyone be surprised that court after court keeps condemning him? And it's not like this is anything new for Assange. He had allegations of stalking against a 17-year-old before he got famous. Even whistleblowers he's worked with for Wikileaks have accused him of sexual aggression. This is a guy who wrote on his own blog about how womens' brains can't do math and how he's a god to women, and how his ghostwriter who spent months with him documented (with recorded transcripts) an unending litany of creepy sexual behavior,

Apple is not really a technology brand these days

lolwut?

Apple is in the same league: as long as the brand remains premium, it does not matter what the output is or for that matter what their quality is.

Too bad for your theory that Apple remains the top performer and the tops in quality and customer satisfaction.

Of course, a big part of it is Apple is able to tweak the software to their needs and spend time doing so. Samsung doesn't have that luxury when they release more than 1 new smartphone a week (56 so far in 2014 alone!) and 1 new tablet every two weeks [arstechnica.com]. Or LG, which released 41 since the start of the year. Versus Apple's 6 or so (4 of which were just minor tweaks of the base model)..

Excuse me, but is anyone holding a gun to either Samsung or LG's proverbial heads, forcing them to throw design after design at the wall to see what sticks? It's like every single prototype that some engineer slaps together, the marketing guys steal right off the bench and put into full production. What maroons!

In fact, in the face of their 60% drop in profits, Samsung just announced they are reigning-in their insane new-model-creation rate, and focusing on "quality" over "quantity".

All I have to say to Samsung is: "Duh". Where EVAR did you get THAT idea...?

Mining was the last thing a workman could do in that area - all the other (good) jobs have gone overseas like everywhere else in the country, thanks to the income taxes which are gutting our country.

This post is spot on, because many of the people impacted by the influx of GMO seeds are sustenance farmers, not profit based farms. Attempting to convert them to a money making agriculture system does not work very well because the people have little to no income sources to go buy food that people are selling. The few jobs these companies create do not support the economy, and the pay is so low that it can't support the economy.

The current reality is that these small governments must subsidize what used to be sustenance based economies. Until manufacturing, repair facilities, etc.. are functional in the country there is no choice, because there are no income sources. And lets face it, there are no plans to bolster anything else in these economies
