The science on biological differences between men and women has been settled for almost half a century now.
Actually, other than obvious differences in reproductive role, and some statistical difference in size and strength, fundamental gender differences are neither proven nor even likely.
I'd say you're meeting the wrong women, but they don't have any good reason to meet you.
It's also the case that Damore's "facts" are not facts at all. They're wrong, and clear expressions of his own prejudices. Even the authors of the papers he cited don't agree with him.
Thanks to the people on this thread for atempting to impart some content to this otherwise content-free discussion. Science needs accurate timebases for interferometry and physics observations, among other things. Just as accurate as we can make them.
Funny too that they are considering a class action lawsuit against an entity with no continuing legal presence. The appropriate mechanism is criminal charges on the individuals involved.
But yes, a fool and their money are soon parted. Pay some country's money for cryptocurrency, or set it on fire, the result is the same.
What if I had a really bad enemy that I wanted to collect dirt upon, and I paid to collect that dirt. And what if I found real dirt potentially implicating that enemy in a real crime, maybe even treason. So, I give that to law enforcement. Law enforcement looks, and verifies some of it. Should the perp be let off because the initial disclosure came from his admitted enemy? Even if law enforcement independently verified the information?
In court, you can impeach a witness for prejudice and keep challenged evidence from the jury if the court so rules. But you can't impeach every witness and deny all evidence just because one party admittedly doesn't like the other.
Yes, companies are in denial about open plan offices and the cost to productivity. My customers put me in one, but I have my home office where I usually work. I never actually took a full-time job that forced me to have one. At Pixar and other places I always insisted on a room with a door. And probably nobody wanted to share a room with me anyway:-)
When I was Debian project leader - is that around 20 years ago now? Time flies - I had around 200 regular collaborators who were the package maintainers at that time. They were distributed worldwide and we never met. We made a great distribution that worked and got on the Space Shuttle for two flights. I ran into Ian Kluft at a ham radio function, and eventually was invited to Europe to speak and met some other developers. But I have still never met many of those 200.
When they say "military" and "Luxembourg" in the same sentence, that always means "NATO". Some equipment purchased and operated directly by NATO, including a squad of aircraft, is on paper owned by Luxembourg. Also, look at the number of their all volunteer military staff of 350 and 100 civilian employees and their military budget of about $360 Million/year which is $1 Million per military staff person regardless of rank. Obviously most of this goes to NATO.
I was there one day and walked by an office that said John von Neumann. I don't think he showed up very often.
What a poster boy for not allowing the accountants to run the business. They owned 30 years of the future of computing, and squandered every bit. They could have been Apple and a few other companies, combined.
HP was ruined before Meg came along. It was very frustrating being there during a few of the Carly years and being completely unable to do anything about what was so obviously happening to the company. HP's DNA was in what left to become Agilent. But that was high-margin, low unit count stuff that the management who remained at HP wasn't interested in any longer, even though it contained all of the real innovation in the company.
Everything after that was another step downward. Not saying that Meg did not do damage or that it would not have been bad to be there while she did.
There is really a relatively small group of researchers working on all of these codecs. For example, Jean-Marc Valin is a big contributor to Opus, also contributed to Codec2. A lot of them are radio hams too, and I run into them at conferences devoted to SDR.
Slashdot uses 5-level Baudot encoding, and if you drop the shift character, everything to the following carriage-return will be garbled. Transmission is via 110 Baud AFSK. Or for short, Slashdot is all FSK-ed up.:-)
Research into codecs will not stop because nobody is paying for codecs. For example, our research into the digital voice codec "Codec2" has progressed to the point that our fully Open Source codec can encode clear voice into a 700 bit per second bitstream. It is an improvement over previously available commercial codecs, and our software modems, when used with SDR radios, yield about a 10 dB improvement over the modulation all vendors were previously using for digital voice two-way radios.
The problem with MPEG is that many entities, from individual researchers to large, deep-pockets companies, were willing to put in effort to make software just as good or better, but under Open Source terms. MPEG made itself the poster boy for its own elimination, as has every other entity that has attempted to push a royalty-based technology as a web standard. Many people want an open web, and are willing to pay for the research without then monetizing it.
I am just having a hard time with the concept that the first notification they have of a need to supplement the power grid comes in the form of a frequency sag. There have to be SCADA networks, and the network operator must know when they are over capacity.
Right. But what I see here is that no significant frequency diffference between generators is going to work, and even relatively small phase differences mean energy dissipated into the distribution system.
Actually, it's worse than that, because if there's a frequency difference the positive peak and the negative one would be opposed soon enough. My attempt would work better for a difference in phase rather than frequency.
If you slightly lead the received frequency in phase, you can take load off the generators, which causes frequency to stabilize.
OK, I need help with the math here because I'm not an EE and I'm probably doing this wrong.
A 50 Hz system was running at 49.8 . That's 4% off frequency. Consider that another generator in the system was still running at 50 Hz. The long-distance network runs at up to 800 KV. So, we have a (sin(pi * 0.04) * 800,000) voltage difference between the two points crossing zero on the AC wave meaning that it's + on one side and - on the other and I get about 100,000 volts difference. I just don't have a clue how the network would handle that.
Now, obviously a generator that's trying to help recover the network can lead by a really small amount. Just how small I'm not clear.
Well, they can respond to grid voltage drops. Responding to a frequency drop doesn't really work, you must remain exactly in phase with the received frequency or it looks like a short-circuit to the distribution system. If the incoming frequency changes, the best thing you can do is probably disconnect.
So, I think that the way it works is that the power system operator has a SCADA network that controls the battery, ordering it to charge, stand by, or provide power as necessary.
I usually plan to spend some time at KSC playing tourist, so I was already scheduled to come out on the 5th, and I now have my "Feel the Heat," tickets. That should be a pretty sensational show.

Conspicuously missing from your explanation is why you would have voted for him. We can't really say he's been terribly functional since the election.

You mean they want to see a flat flat earther?

I think that decision was before her. Carly's dumb move was to buy Compaq.

The Illuminati is Not a Frivolous Subject. On the other hand, cutting a deal with the devil is a frivolous subjecct.
If you who have "Feel the Heat" tickets: I'll be there. Happy to meet any Slashdotters who happen to be going too.

Yes, this is what we call phase. It's still got to be pretty close.
