As others have said, you take hasty conclusions based on nothing. I said nothing about men simply because they are not the focus of this topic (after all, the study described in the article does not say if the same thing happens in the case of males, if he said so I would have included men in the subject).
As the others realized I did not say anything about the men because the focus of the topic in this case are women. But if you prefer so, I do not think somehow that men always make purely rational decisions. But having said that, I noticed based on the evidence and simple observation that it is much easier for it to happen in females.
I'm sorry but I've had more than enough evidence that women do not have as much free will as they think. They have to fight hard the instinct (hormones, "get only the alpha male", etc) to have true free will, but they constantly lose. Never stopped to wonder why so many women choose guys that they never would choose according to the rational thought of them? And I can not tell if is something good or bad... Because at the same time that prevents women from accept only wealthy movie stars, it also makes them choose dangerous criminals (on my country is called "amor bandido" (coarsely "thug love")).
You and the "i kan reed" are both right. You humans in general have a very strong mentality to act as "herd". And is very easy for psychopaths take control of these herds and it is very difficult for reasonable people to avoid this, since to convince a flock that they are doing something wrong is necessary that the flock can be able to think, and this is beyond the capacity of the herd (as many have already noticed, an individual is more intelligent and reasonable than a group of humans).
I'm seeing a great example of that right now in my country's elections (Brazil), where the flock moved by the local media (newspapers and television) wants to kill and segregate all who do not conform to the "shepherd" (the media). And the situation is so bad that if the flock win, I may have to leave the country to stay alive.
I understand, but the biggest problem in my view is not running slow, it is expected in a limited hardware. What bothered me on the test was how Firefox OS dealt with this limited hardware, failing to perform basic activities when it should be executing then (even if slowly).
I do not know about you, but for me a "operating system" incapable of doing something as simple as keeping an application in the background when switching to another application is a shitty OS. Hell, he can not even make the alarm work all the time! And the small RAM is not an excuse, I had running Windows 2000 (AND applications) on a machine with only 128MB and a slower processor.
Short version: The way it works in a limited hardware is what separates the good from the bad operating systems. And from what I can see, the folks at Mozilla failed miserably at it.
This describes my work reasonably well. I'm a civilian, but I work almost exclusive for the military and my work can be summed up to get all their ideas, organize them into something cohesive, trim the loose ends and fill the gaps with my own ideas when necessary. Then present the results and together with them I'll trimming the edges until I have the best possible outcome that meets their needs.
And the best part is that political struggles are virtually nonexistent: If you show them that one idea will not work and explains why, they drop the idea without much fuss (and they are good at giving me good ideas to add too).
Just curious, could you give examples of MOS positions? I also thought that most members of a current army would be soldiers and officers (sergeants, corporals, lieutenants, etc).
On Brazil we simply do not break the name when using it on a local created software, is always the full name on a single field. (And is anoying for us using foreign software in this detail)
Hum... Is a really bad reason for you thinking I are wrong. As a hint, I do not explicitly written (or think) that all women would be equal, but I recorded enough cases to conclude that is quite possible the majority of them are like that. And so far I did not register any example of otherwise, so therefore I have no way to prove (or think) that not all women are the same (after all, so far no different case).
But, reading your answers to other guys who are also trying to be reasonable, I see that you are a feminist, and to me this is as bad as a machist (they are the same thing). So I will not spend more of my time trying to argue with who will not listen anyway, bye.
Very well, as I said before, I have sufficient evidence (testimonies, articles, etc.) to be quite certain I'm speaking the truth or I'm fairly close to it. If you think otherwise, then what are your evidence for such? (Tip: ad hominem is not).
Sorry dude (or girl?), but I do not care about your generic feminist-like comment because I have hard empirical data that led me to the conclusion of my previous comment... Dammit, as example my own sister is a victim of the problem I described (she is unable to choose good boyfriends, she always goes after the bad/useless guys that I and my family know that are problem to her). You think you just need to offend me (the very old "ad hominem" attack) and the problem will go away? So naive...;-)
Well said. And I would add that I have witnessed several times that they are also not able to make rational decisions about who they really want as a partner. The instinct of them is much stronger, making them make the same mistakes again and again and again. And if you show this to them (in an attempt to help them make a rational decision), you are automatically called bastard.:-)
They want the man to do all the work and assume all the risks involved too, such as (and not limited to) being labeled as scum if you do anything that is not exactly what she wants at the time she wants and how she wants. As I do not want to go to jail because of a woman who decides to end my life just because I have committed the "crime" of say hi (and not be a rich man with luxurious car in the garage), so I prefer to simply keep distance.
Well, medication delivery is just one of many options, you just need to be creative to find other uses. You have a 1.2kg payload capacity and you can go anywhere inside the range of the drone. With this I can delivery food (pizza?), eletronics, mail, pretty much anything that is not too heavy or too large
I thought the same thing. Is very useful to be able to deliver an emergency order immediately in remote places. Consider for example a medical emergency where the local doctor needs a specific medication as soon as possible. You can put a lot of useful thing in 1.2kg
What? Dude, you are mad, dumb or on drugs? Why do you think engineers do not build "ultrathin" bridges, even if they can do them? Because is nonsense! A clear proof that one should not do certain things is exactly the iPhone6 warping with any lateral force, it simply became too thin to have the structural strength required! You never seen before a thin object made of aluminum? Never saw how easy is to fold it and how the object retains the new shape after you stop applying force?

Unluckily I fail in the requirement "needs to be human"

I never have mod points when I find the really good comments. But, well said.
Martian here. And yes, is very difficult to understand you humans.

Only in the alternate reality where you live.
"And after all of the prudent guys are silenced, all that is left.........."
Well done, you resumed the entire problem very well.
Exact. You can be a very, very nasty psychopath, but if you have lots of money you get a lot more calls than men of family.
This. Women expect men to do all the work, run all the risks and suffer all the consequences if it does not work out.

Damn you! you made me curious about the book and could not help buying it, now you owe me twenty-two U.S. dollars :-)
