Not quite, it wasn't "invented" to clean water from pathogens.
The documented "How Beer Saved the World" suggests that like many things its invention was an accident, and the not making you sick properties were not realized till much later.
All they knew was that when you boil/brew water into beer it would not make you sick later.
Also that's kind the issue we have now. Amazon and other places do not have a physical location in most states.
The Walmart near me shares my cities roads, utilities, etc... Amazon does not. Should I pay the city they are using those services in, or my own where they are not?
If you're referring to that wage gap crap, it's been debunked time and time again. In terms of education, more women are graduating than men. Women have the advantage of affirmative action. Women have the advantage of women only scholarships.
So where is the tilting of the scales for men in nursing, teaching and early child development? Where are the employment campaigns for more women in dangerous or hard labor jobs? Where is the outrage that women are only getting 60% of the jail terms men do for the same crimes?
It does not need to be, but for all intents and purposes they are interchangeable. Also US health and human services uses them as interchangeable, unless you feel they don't know what they are talking about?
You're trying to refute the US dept of health and human services by using a contested philosophy wiki article that is only half written and is full of grammatical mistakes?
Man it's too bad/. does not have a Fail of the Day award, you should definitely win it.
It's on the right hand side, the only one. Provide some proof of your claim then, because every major dictionary in use agrees with me, as well as the US dept. of health and human services.
Like I have said elsewhere, history does not support this. Go look say 200yrs ago, men dominated in some areas that they no longer do; was this because of some rapid spur of mutation in the human brain that just so happened to only occur in the western world? Or because of changing social norms?
But we're not talking about social norms, it's being proposed that there is a biological reason for it; which history does not support. Also the world is bigger than western culture, in other cultures throughout history women have played a role in various industries; clearly the differences which are present in the brains of men and woman cannot be the sole cause of this gulf.
Yea, despite how it's seen in movies, anaesthesia is actually rather complicated. You can't just pump a guy full of ketamine in the middle of a live shootout and expect him to be just fine.
Which might hold up till you also compare it to other industries that used to be dominated by men but over the past couple centuries, their representation has dropped like a rock.
Male teachers, nurses, seamsters, college graduates.
Oh yes there are differences in the brains of both genders, I just can't see it being the sole justification for the gulf we are observing; especially when you compare it to history,
Men used to dominate the health and teaching fields; yet now are a small minority; 200 years is nowhere near enough time for a biological change to have happened on such a wide a scale and with such an impact.
I would suggest that our social norms are a much better candidate.
Yea, it's not that children lack the interest, it seems that it's the parents who keep buying them the gender specific toys, and reinforcing his idea that women do not belong in STEM.
Children should have the same opportunity to play with w/e toy they have an interest in. If a boy want's to play dress up with dolls, don't tease him or think him developmentally challenged. (nor tolerate that from his peers)
Of course this is all well and good but in reality marketing and consumer buying habits play a much bigger role to a company and their bottom line then some idealised view on an internet forum. Don't expect a change in any of this till it's the parents who get wise and start ignoring the gender specific marketing.
Question is why are they not interested? I have never heard of a credible biological reason to this, is there a "scientist" gene that is present in only men? I would find that hard to belive.
Personally I think you're right about development of young children. Want more women in STEM? Then give them things like video games and Legos to play with as children to help foster that interest. It's unreasonable to tell them for 12+ years that those are BOY TOYS then expect them to overnight develop an interest.
Exactly, it needs to come down to who is best for the job, giving one group preferential treatment over another is not any better than any other group.
Nice idea, but impractical due to all the proprietary HW in the phone; they can't release since they do not have permission. You'd need dozens of companies to grant permission for that.
So why not let users update the SW themselves over the internet? Have it make a notice for users to update next time they are on a wifi network, or connected to a computer.
Carriers don't want to not because it'll cost them money, but because it wont sell any more decides so what do they care?
Yea, in terms of light web browsing and made some word processing a phone could work; but no way can it replace a full PC, even if you had the power the OS versioning is so fragmented and SW can be so outdated or unsupported it'd be nigh impossible.
You understand ISP means Internet Service Provider?
If you have internet access it's going through someones pipes, routers; plus many small/local ones are just resellers and still use the same ATT/Comcast pipes.

Yes but that came later, I'm talking about the stuff from 7000+ years ago in Iran; not 12th century England.
Not quite, it wasn't "invented" to clean water from pathogens.

So then there needs to be a nationwide sales tax.
Also that's kind the issue we have now. Amazon and other places do not have a physical location in most states.
The Walmart near me shares my cities roads, utilities, etc... Amazon does not. Should I pay the city they are using those services in, or my own where they are not?
So which rate do you pay?
Sales tax can vary but city, county, and state.
If i buy something from out of state, which combination of those possible six should I pay?
Technically this is libel; but slander too can damage one's reputation.
While I agree with your premise, I can't say I agree on the examples.
The education has undergone a lot of changes since 1910, when Linus was in it.
If you're referring to that wage gap crap, it's been debunked time and time again.
In terms of education, more women are graduating than men.
Women have the advantage of affirmative action.
Women have the advantage of women only scholarships.
So where is the tilting of the scales for men in nursing, teaching and early child development?
Where are the employment campaigns for more women in dangerous or hard labor jobs?
Where is the outrage that women are only getting 60% of the jail terms men do for the same crimes?

A word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word or phrase in the same language
And fail again on your part, why can you do nothing but cite recently updated wiki articles?
At least use the source noted on the article, are you in highschool?

DIctionary wise they are synonyms.
Maybe in your more narrow view they are, but I'm going off what they actually mean.

But for how long?
Should say Microsoft continue to provide updates for Windows 3.1 on old 486 procs?
