Because men and women are different, and are allowed to lean toward different fields if it suits them, either individually or en masse. It doesn't automatically mean something is broken.
I don't know for sure why it exists, but I suspect it has to do with boys being encouraged during high school (and to some extent college as well) to pursue sports and "manly" activities rather than their studies
Could it also have something to do with the fact that men and women are different? Just throwin' it out there.
There is already an inequality in schools in that subject...
There's also a complete inequality in girls graduating high school, enrolling in college, and graduating college.
I'm not saying that's okay, but let's not forget that there is, fundamentally, an inequality between boys and girls. Full stop.* They're not the same thing.
(*I was going to pander to the mainly US audience, but in the context it may not have worked so well)
Who says? Was there a meeting where it was decided how many women there should be in STEM fields?
We need women in these fields.
Even if a greater proportion than among men don't want to be in them?
I say we do what we can to balance the gender inequality in the IS and IT areas.
And I say we just make sure that those women who want to go into IS and IT don't suffer discrimination, and stop trying to pressure everyone into being dissatisfied with anything other than equal numbers.
Don't let the bad headline fool you - it's a legally binding agreement - though exactly what it legally binds the parties to is not entirely clear, as I don't read French and I don't trust the Grauniad's jovial interpretation of it - but it's not a law.
I just found the idea that there might be an Asian onboard but no-one knew who it was, or perhaps that everyone took turns being the Asian one, amusing.
hadrons are made up of quarks and antiquarks that determine their properties. A subset of hadrons, called mesons, is formed from quark-antiquark pairs, while the rest – baryons – are made up of three quarks.
And the exotic hadrons...?
This "summary" appears to be simply paragraphs 1, 2, 4 and 5 from the article, with the submitter's sole contribution being to delete paragraph 3, which gives us the pertinent information that:
But since it was first proposed physicists have found several particles that do not fit into this model of hadron structure. Now the LHCb collaboration has published an unambiguous observation of an exotic particle – the Z(4430) – that does not fit the quark model.
She treats her patients in addition to their GP, not instead of.
Really? Isn't that up to the patient? Will she refuse to see someone who hasn't been to the GP?
When the drugs your GP is prescribing do not work, having something else to try or even just someone else to talk to about your health is extremely valuable. Keeping a positive attitude is everything, since the alternative might simply be suicide.
Yes, that's all very lovely, but then you should be seeing a counsellor, not a magic bean salesman.
Oh OK: Let me change that to -1 (Most people here don't care)
That's probably true for most of the stories that get posted here, but normal people skip the stories they're not interested in and comment on the ones they are interested in without being whiny bitches.
Just let it go
I think you need to take your own advice. Why does it annoy you so much that other people aren't like you (or at least, aren't like you claim to be)?
I wish more scriptwriters would apply the "does anyone ever talk anything remotely like this in real life?" test before committing to a line of dialogue.
Human sensory systems can detect very small relative delays in parts of the visual or, especially, audio fields
Funny, I'd have thought the auditory systems were less sensitive to delays. You only have to be 13m away from something for the audio to be "delayed" by one video frame (1/25 of a second) in real life.

Yes. Why do people keep asking this?

Would anyone who reads French be able to give a less jovial and more accurate interpretation of what the French article says?
Call me cynical, but I have a hunch we may not be getting the full story from the Guardian's "article."

It's not a law.

I knew what you meant :)

But there are several challenges, including the need to design new motherboards and servers.
Swapping out that faulty network card gets to be a bitch.

There are a few more than that:

It was specifically Sulu who was Asian.

So, that explains that.

Off-roading? The cameras would be caked with mud and dust within 15 minutes.
And the windscreen. It's a wonder anyone goes off-roading at all, having to get out and wipe the muck off the windows every quarter of an hour.
Well then, Bunky

the size of the orbit would be so immense that it's extremely improbable for it to 'clear it's orbit of debris'

They've teamed up to wipe us out.
You need to see a doctor, miss.
I think that's sort of what the GP is getting at. It's a fuel source, not an energy source.
It takes more energy to make hydrocarbons from water and CO2 than you get when you burn the hydrocarbons.
What about the energy currently required to keep ships stocked up on aviation fuel, though?

It is preprogrammed for learning spoken language. You might read Stephen Pinker's The Language Instinct.
Or I might not. I'm well aware that the brain has evolved in such a way as to facilitate the development of language skills.
It still wasn't designed to do it. It's just a positive feedback loop.
