Mostly true, but it's not that much more difficult for men. Those women are having sex with someone, after all
No they're not. That's the point. You are assuming that most women want to have sex as much as most men, but not many women wake up and the main thing on their mind is how are they going to get laid today. They mostly _could_; but unlike men it's not such a massive deal. Women love sex, certainly - but they don't have the driving need to think about it continuously, and don't want to just do it recreationally without there being some kind of genuine relationship behind it.
Women on Ashley Madison would be looking for someone to be with romantically, to bring some excitement and romance back into their lives. Men just want a fuck. And you know what - women know this (even though ignorant males continue to fantasise that women have the same sex drive / tendencies as them).
tl;dr - Men cannot just "go and get laid" and anyone who claims they can (and think's that OK) is a dick.
Why not use a handshake - with a small amount of processing power in the fob, hidden key pairs could be used to authenticate just like SSH or HTTPS: the keyfob asks a computable question of the car and vice-versa - no amount of record/playback could get you in.
This is getting toward being considered ancient tech in the IT world - surely car companies have techies who can achieve this.
Every month of so we get a story about some brand new development paradigm or arrangement of coders. That new thing (be that Mob Programming or Angular) can usually be shown to work great with specific problem sets, but as a programmer / architect I am always wary of panacea solutions that propose the best way regardless of the problem.
It's like the ancient philosophical conundrum of defining happiness... it's different for different people.
Who, I have to ask, is to be protected by a copyright that outlives the content's creator? His heirs? Why should essentially three generations of descendants be entitled to royalties of something their grand-grandfather created? Do you even know your grand-grandfather? Imagine you still got money from something that guy once did.
Nobody can tell me that this has any roots in reality. This is insanity.
This is the same as all inherited wealth, money being the obvious example.
This. Uber may be run by (as stated by another/.er) "the most punchable management shit weasels" but at least they are committing to this free market idea we supposedly support instead of trying to suppress wages.
Those who control the money & power leveraging their increasing advantage to drive down the costs of labour and buy government influence for more immigration through H1-B visas is also a Free Market mechanism.
Pull yourself together man! Even 50 is no longer old in almost any sphere. If you love coding, keep doing it - don't just move into management because you're having some kind of existential crisis.
Programming languages haven't (and don't) change much. They are all still loops and conditionals et al with different syntax. Sure, some academics have creating towering ideological structures of how they think the world ought to work from their ivory towers (I'm looking at you, java, AngularJS etc) but when it boils down to it, most of us are still coding the hell out of a text editors and terminal emulators using command line unix tools written before you were born (albeit on slightly larger screens)
Programming is enormous fun. If you must figure out how to create MVC structures with NoSQL databases and convoluted OO callback stacks then fine; you'll also need to then learn how to circumvent most of those products of utopian academia to get that real world thing you're doing to work, and soon be back at writing stuff in C and Perl (albeit feeling more comfortable that you at least understand and no longer feel intimidated / outdated by the hipster coders...)
The most dangerous person that one would voluntarily hand-over control to is the relatively inexperienced person that thinks they know everything and attempts to remake their piece of the organization the image of what they see as being correct.
This was me. Early in the development of one of the challenger banks I was the bright young tech thing, promoted to overall systems architect by 24 and now I can see that that was a quite ridiculous thing to do. Not that I did a terrible job (the business is still flourishing a decade on as I read in the papers) but I made some decisions - particularly around the structuring of data - which made things worse and used a ton of development resource in the process... all to follow some misguided arrogantly ideological dreams.
Since then I've been started a software company of my own, and would much rather employ "me" now (in my late 30s), than then.
I have an i3 - works great (even though there is only 10litres for range extend petrol, so you need to top up every 70/80 miles or so if you're going a long way).
Vast majority of journeys are electric only, but the range extension is essential right now IMO as it's either hard to find a charge point that's free (and works!) or it's awkward asking your destination friends to let you plug-in (as they don't know how much it will cost them).
With no innate fear of death (being effectively immortal) you would not think they would bother. However, they are just as likely to wonder where this all came from, which could lead to them considering the Simulation Hypothesis or some other reasonably logical proposition of a God.
Our girls are all homeschooled - although the oldest (13) has now transitioned to high school.
There are as many ways of homeschooling as there are homeschoolers. They range from hot-housers (attempting to cram in more academic information than a school would) to those who wish to go entirely with what the children want. We err on the side of the latter, teaching only when interest is shown in a subject - often learning more in 20mins than if forced to sit through arbitrary lessons (which works something like ripping through a topic on Wikipedia when it intrigues you), giving a truly personalised education that is also less stressful for us as parents.
Our eldest did not read until she was 8 - which was when she wanted to - but by the time she entered high school she had read more than most children of her age, having vociferously consumed whatever she could. It was _her_ thing to read - she never had the negativity of thinking it was "school work" and something that "had to be done".
She is now an A grade student in almost all subjects, topping classes that other students have been taking for 7 years. What's more, she seems to be unique amongst her peers in appreciating her classes as a source of knowledge, rather than a thing-that-must-be-done to force doctrine into her head.
It was her request to go to school - for the social aspect. At parents' evening yesterday the only negative was that she doesn't do her homework if she doesn't see the point in it. I take that as a compliment.
Elon is already on record stating it is a dead end technology, I believe.
Electricity is required to make the hydrogen - that has to be physically shipped using an infrastructure that does not exist - to be converted back to electricity inside the car. Longer range than electricity? How far off is a Model S? Weigh up filling up in a couple minutes against filling up _at home_.
It is somewhat debatable whether Hydrogen would be preferable even with the gargantuan infrastructure required to make it's quick fill-ups convenient.
This describes completely what most people would do if they had the option. Even myself, given the option that I could have a house, food, and all essential bills covered (heat, electricity, water), I would probably do pretty close to nothing. I probably wouldn't sit on the couch all day, but most of the time I definitely wouldn't be producing anything of value. Wake up, go for a bike ride in the morning, spend time with friends, play all those video games I've always wanted to play. I might take up hobbies and actually produce something, but I wouldn't be adherent to any kind of schedule and whether or not I could produce any item worth exchange for money.
The opposite is true for me. Looking across life as a single short time-span, for me it's about what gets created in that time - what are you leaving the world.
It is satisfying "working" if you love it - that's why children build lego for days on end.
People also love status. That's why they work so hard to get that million pounds and buy the physical items (cars, houses, etc) that confer success.
However, in a post-scarcity economy, the differentiator is no longer what you own, but what you have created.
The thought of loafing around deliberating over which movie to passively consume next is unsatisfying to me
If the US wants to be respected as the moral authority in the world - as a model to be followed - they need to raise themselves above torture _and_ the Death Penalty - again, proven to be ineffective as deterrent AND denounced as a human rights abuse throughout most of the rest of the developed world
I run a small IT company, and if we discuss it - and I understand where you're coming from, I would rather judge you on where you're at now and whether you love to code or not (or whatever it is the role you are going for). No one is perfect - in fact I've met a great many people who have such low moral standards I'm sure there are plenty of felons I would much prefer working with.
It's about who you are now, and what you want to achieve with the rest of your life - and if that fits in with what we want to achieve also.

Stop screwing around with VR and finish Half-Life 3 already!
Seconded. Can we start a "refocus Valve" petition?
The things is, the VanillaJS comedic examples actually make me WANT to use jQuery for it's elegance and clarity. For instance:
In jQuery:
$('#thing').fadeOut();
In JS:
var s = document.getElementById('thing').style; s.opacity = 1; (function fade(){(s.opacity-=.1)0?s.display="none":setTimeout(fade,40)})();

Can I achieve this with web-scale Angular js?
My Friends & I use it pretty much all the time, and I'm really the only one of them who occasionally posts anything public.
It's the antithesis of FB - and all the better for it.
