After reading the summary and the summary of the article, I first thought that women's code is generally better:
Our results suggest that although women on GitHub may be more competent overall (...)
The trick is women on GitHub. In the conclusions they quote another study:
Another explanation is self-selection bias: the average woman in open source may be better prepared than the average man, which is supported by the finding that women in open source are more likely to hold Master’s and PhD degrees
Good job at pointing that out. If we are comparing PhDs to less educated people, it's expected that they have better code. That also makes the gender bias against women's code look even worst.
The only problem I have with the article is in the type of submissions part (programming vs non-programming). From the article:
For instance, changes to HTML could be more likely to be accepted than changes to C code, and if women are more likely to change HTML, this may explain our results.
The authors address the first part (they beat men in most languages, but to different degrees), and they didn't address the second: if.css and.json are 90% of their contributions, this would be the reason of their overall higher acceptance rate being statistically significant, this also could be another explanation to the rejection rate on outsider women vs outsider men, the only case with discrimination.
Both outsider women and outsider men have much lower acceptance rate than gender-neutral outsiders, but this is the only case where women supposedly are discriminated. IMHO, they should show the raw numbers (the confidence intervals show that they might not be that much), and check the languages that are in this group. If it's mostly.txt,.podspec,.m,.xml, languages where men statistically "beat" or might "beat" women, then the conclusion of bias could be wrong or exaggerated. It's just one hypothesis that I hope they do address when peer reviewing, just to rule out any chances.
Yes, you showed real intelligence with this post, that will teach him. Also, replying to an AC that didn't make any points on the subject, but only on your behavior, claiming that HE was butt-hurt. lol You just named your feelings.
It depends on the country. In Brazil, where I'm from, you can hide to avoid prosecution, for most crimes (exceptions are racism and armed groups acting against constitutional order). There is a table for the applicable limitation times, but for most cases it is between 1,5 to 2 times the maximum jail time you could do for the crime. E.g.: for a crime that can land you 2-4 years of jail time, the state has 8 years to charge you, then another 8 to give a final verdict, and then the time you actually got (eg 3 years) to land you in jail. In other words: if the state doesn't bother to charge you for 8 years for a minor crime, you are free; if it charges you, but is so slow that it can't give you a "speedy trial" of 8 years, you are free, and if you are sentenced to 3 years of jail, but for another 3 years it can't put you in jail (fleeing or not found), then you are free as well, after all, it has been 19 years after you committed the crime, nothing good will come from putting you in jail for that. If you were a real criminal, you would go to jail for other crimes, if you are not, and for the past 19 years you did nothing wrong, there is no constructive reason to spending public money on vengeance.
It's funny cause for me it seems quite absurd that a person must live outside of society and worry forever because of something minor that the state didn't bother enough to prosecute properly. Someday the bs has to stop (I mean generally, not specifically to Assange's case)..
We know they infect stuff you send on the mail and that they mess with checked up luggage. The ONLY "safe" way to take electronics around, in or out the US is to keep it ALL in your carry on, and if you lose visual contact with it while they are passing the x-ray, you just dump or sell it without ever connecting it again to your personal stuff. They even let you take overweight carry on if you explain it is very expensive.
Every time the cofee spills I like to remember that that shit was designed by an engineer. I do the same for every poorly designed thing I get in my daily life. Certified engineers make/design/develop the programs I work with and they are a piece o shit, just like the cofee machine, the toiled and the elevator. The gutter in my house, my refrigerator and that building that will be demolished who knows when.
There are plenty of engineering fields and people suck in all of them. The fact that programming is not being done properly doesn't mean we should stop calling them engineers.
Because someone will build devices for that market that do comply
Yes, Baidu is really strong. But it is up to the UK people to decide what kind of country they want.
Participating in massive human rights violations is not ethical, even if you tell yourself you are doing it to protect people from greater harm. That is exactly what the UK government is planning to do (terrorists in their case, bad programmers in your case).
Most of what the article says is that the Russians were evil and paranoids, that they were afraid of what the NSA and GCHQ call effects operations, but that keyword (and the fact that they were right to be afraid) is not mentioned in the article. Very strange to forget that after two years of Snowden.
Here is an article about psyops and effects operations, it mentions the 4 D's (deny, disrupt, degrade, deceive).
Check thesepages to get a sense of how correct they were to be afraid about the manipulation from the west.
Effects in GCHQ (...) Now major part of business - 5% of Operations
Propaganda, Deception, Mass messaging, Pushing stories, Alias development, Psychology (quotes from the EFF slides, punctuation is mine)
While I do think controlling the content of the Internet is wrong, and I'm glad the Russians can't do it, it seems wrong to criticize those who wanted to do it in self-defense from people who is actually controlling it, specially without mentioning that and pretending they were paranoid.
Not everything that windows has, the search software Everything. There is no real substitute, just very poor alternatives. It is so fast to find stuff with it. Way better than navigating folders. I gave up linux twice because of this one. Time to try again now that windows telemetry rolled out.
I know that in general people can flee from the USA if they so choose (when not detained). I do know there is a difference in degree between what the Germans did and what the US is doing now, as many Muslims and many blacks and latins are doing fine even with the indefinite detentions, but I can also see that they are not completely different. It's some people losing their lives and their freedom way more often than other people, because of their races/religions. It is worth mentioning that the prison system is very lucrative, both for the work done in prisons and for the subsidies that they get for keeping people in prison.
I answered the other post mentioning facts and suggesting important reads. "Hate mongering" is a very common expression used to dismiss what other people are saying, but it should be used against angrier posts, not concern about serious issues and others knowledge.
In Guantanamo for Muslims and all over the country for black and Latins. Of course there are other points scattered around the globe for torture. Read the CIA torture report, or at least some highlights. Please do not pretend a problem doesn't exist just because someone wasn't perfect on his list of exceptions on an argument.
You claimed that people should have different expectations on others arguments based on who they are. That makes no sense in general and even less sense in the internet. After you repeated what you said before, with caps on the part the AC had pointed.
using a stingray isn't a violation of anyone's rights
It is such a violation of people's rights that a judge just decided that evidence found on an attempt to murder case should not be used because it was obtained through that violation. IANAL, be she is a Judge.
"Everything" - the search software. I have too much stuff (160k.mp3 files, 1.4k.mp4, 1.7k.mkv and so on). Navigating folders and finding things is a pain, and I'm mostly organized. This is the most important one, there is no real equivalent on linux. My indexes get huge and slow.
If you have any suggestions, I would gladly be proven wrong, but poor alternatives are no equivalents. Before giving up I did try several poor alternatives.
Whether it's at work (...) there's really no way to avoid windows.
Like the anonymous, I can't choose what my company (the government) use, even though I do complain about public money being spent with windows and about all the problems we get with it.
Are they saying that companies would spend 21 - 41 billion more on advertising if people didn't block ads?
Considering the fact that ads are paid for when shown, and that companies have a limited amount of money to spend on advertising, showing more ads would only mean that the price per ad would be lower. In the same way, if it's harder to show ads for people, they can cost more. It makes no sense to claim that people who live from showing ads on their websites (here called publishers) would make more money, or have increased costs, because of ad-blocking. The only difference on costs are bandwidth, that isn't that expensive anyway (and can be passed from the publishers to the advertisers).
The scam artists of the world would de-fund ISIS in about a year
You forgot who is financing ISIS.
According to the vice-president (and a lot of other more credible places), it's the US allies, that their funds from the US. The clip with Joe Biden News about him apologizing for telling them out Old Wikileaks leak about them financing anyone available to fight against Assad, and being interested in a big humanitarian disaster. Quotes from the e-mail:
One Air Force intel guy (US) said very carefully that there isn't much of a Free Syrian Army to train right now anyway
the idea 'hypothetically' is to commit guerrilla attacks, assassination campaigns, try to break the back of the Alawite forces, elicit collapse from within
They dont believe air intervention would happen unless there was enough media attention on a massacre, like the Ghadafi move against Benghazi. They think the US would have a high tolerance for killings as long as it doesn't reach that very public stage.
I'm really curious about your opinion on Apple device's names. Do you think that calling something "i" as in "myself" plus "general name for the product" isn't ridiculous? Why not? Do you perceive it as mature (adult-like)?
How would you rank the ridiculousness of the names Microsoft, Apple and Google? And of Windows, iOS and Android? How would they rank in childishness? Why? Do you make other comparisons to justify them?
Since I'm not an Apple fan, I rationalize in ways to criticize them, like you did with buzz lightyear - that I honestly think was an interesting critic. My critic usually goes on the idea that as people grow up they should stop being self-centric, so putting I in front of stuff is less mentally evolved. If you care to respond, thanks.
Wrong on the second part. I know plenty of acupuncturists who does use electricity. In fact, I've never met one who wouldn't use it in certain cases. Just go to any university's doctor in China and you'll see it. To explain, I lived almost 3 years in Beijing Sport's University and did spend some time in their nursery treating injuries, I have been to the Haidian Hospital and did an introduction to acupuncture course in Brazil. In all of those places there are people claiming to be acupuncturists using electricity.
The reality is way worst than that. Everybody will pay to use the patent, and you will pay apple even if you hate them and never buy their products. Just like you pay the tv "artists" even if you don't watch tv, because you drink coke, eat rice, wear adidas...
Plus I'm getting a DMCA notice of 1 removal, but the link to the complaint doesn't indicate that it includes the real one. I hadn't googled in months. Good that this is another reason to tell people to duckduckgo things and stop using google (avoiding malware).
The law was going to pass anyway, if you cared to read/. you would know. They credit it to the terrorists from the comic guy case. What Wikileaks did was to provide information they had to complain about and show us how hypocrites they are. Either the anti-Wikileaks propaganda really got into you or you are working for them.
