What's utterly fascinating is that the brains of transgender people look like and work like the gender they self-report. It's consistent with the early onset and fixity of their gender identity if it's confirmed to be a brain setting.
If you follow only one link from this bibliography, make it the one to Zhou et. al.'s Nature article. http://aebrain.blogspot.com/p/...
That said, the remarkable thing about male and female brains is how similar they are. It's a curious phenomenon how hard people will work to "find" differences that aren't actually there.
Up at the top of the page it says "News for nerds".
OK, fellow nerds, let's remember our school days.
Remember how quick the thugs were to yell "He started it!"? Remember the adults who were supposed to keep things safe dismissing assaults in the restroom and saying we just needed to learn how to handle teasing? Remember how the bullies traveled with entourages who thought they were cool?
People like that are running around in adult bodies now. We all have the background to see them for what they are. We must oppose them immediately and unconditionally, or we are on their side.
Hint: the instant you start making any excuse for any threat of violence from any side of an argument, you are in the wrong.
Arthur Clarke pointed out decades ago that some kind of mini-elephant would be a great home service animal. With a trunk to work with, it could open refrigerators, pick up the phone, and do other delicate handling operations.
If a government is friendly to homeopathy, maybe they could practice homeopathic government in general. Pursue the War On Drugs with zero police officers, for example. Spy on citizens with a single pair of binoculars. Put protesters in jail for only a few seconds, to increase the sentence.
Someone got confused by Snapchat (he's not the only one) and sent a video to his entire contact list instead of just his girlfriend. Those should not have been easy to confuse.
And what data structure do you have lying around at encryption time that's as long as the plaintext?
That's right, the plaintext. Use that as your one time pad. It saves you the headache of generating high-quality randomness if you just XOR the plaintext with itself.
The resulting ciphertext is not only theoretically unbreakable without the key, it is also highly compressible for economical transmission.
They could re-use all the things they said in North Carolina, when passing legislation requiring coastal development planning to ignore sea level rises.
From a 1990 essay comes the insight "The ability to get ahead in an organization is simply another talent, like the ability to play chess, paint pictures, do coronary bypass operations or pick pockets. There are some people who are extraordinarily good at manipulating- organizations to serve their own ends. The Russians, who have suffered under such people for centuries, have a name for them-- apparatchiks. It was an observer of apparatchiks who coined the maxim, 'The scum rises to the top.' "
Poul Anderson pointed out in a 1967 story that a supernova could have devastating electromagnetic pulse effects.
Since then, we've found that supernova explosions are asymmetrical. There is plasma moving at very high speeds near a new neutron star's magnetic field and not in a neat way where the effects cancel out.
How far away would you have to be in order not to have all your electronics fried?
Starting in 1999. There was no corresponding drop in autism rates. That fact alone, all by itself, tells you all you really need to know on the subject.
When the company was still run ethically, the ethics included opening the engineering department to women, not just on paper but in real life.
The word spread. Women in engineering schools knew where to apply when they graduated. HP had a larger pool of bright people to choose from, people who were shying away from their competitors.
There's more to being open than sticking the phrase "Equal Opportunity Employer" on the recruiting ads. Get it right, though, and it's sound business.
That's the thing, gallium is not that exotic and has recreational uses. Casting equipment?! A staggering range of uses for thousands of years.
BTW "stabilize" is in the metallurgical sense. If the open literature is correct, and I hope it is full of booby traps for bomb makers, plutonium is less of a nightmare to put into controlled shapes if alloyed with gallium.
Groups aren't interested in things, people are, and pre-adult female people get a lot of messages about what should interest them which are outright toxic and which we should compensate for. Getting them some exposure to CS and programming may partially make up for a lifetime that begins with their brothers hogging the computer and which continues with outright anti-intellectualism in school.

I've always heard you should stay away from Talos 4.
I like that. Continue the thought.

The exhibits in the radio observatory visitor center routinely talk about what remains unknown.

In fact, when I wanted to demo about half a dozen dual-factor solutions for a colleague, I showed them all on my LastPass account.
An Asian-American argues in favor of admission policies that disadvantage Asian-Americans. Whether you agree, it's worth thinking about.

It is as insightful in its own way as "The Mythical Man-Month".
Supporting Emotional Needs of the Gifted is a solid resource.

There's no good way to match the rate of high explosive delivery a battleship could implement in support of an amphibious attack.
Two 2,000 pound shells every minute from each of 9 guns is throughput an F-35 just can't touch.

You *have* to get them a peer group made up of real peers including people more intelligent than they are.

Also an assertive woman risks being called a "bitch", then women get blamed for not negotiating high enough salaries.

See the book "Unlocking the Clubhouse" for the results of hundreds of interviews with bright highly motivated female CS students.
> equal opportunity based upon relevant attributes (ie demonstrated interest and aptitude)
That's a good thing to focus on since we're not there yet and have more work to do.
By that standard it should be a Steve Wozniak stamp.
