It was really the Anti-anti-Christian-witch-hunters who set it up to make it look like the Creationists set it up just to make it look like the anti-Christian witch hunters set it up so that they'd blame the anti-Christian witch-hunters.
Wait... are you telling me there was some random user on YouTube that wasn't competent? That produced poorly edited content? That said and did odd things?
Because higher levels of testosterone influence the brain to optimize for things that are good for doing science.
We call that "pseudoscience" where I come from. In this specific instance, because you're wrapping a belief in the trappings of science to lend the claim credibility without the benefit of actual scientific inquiry. You might as well claim that your healing crystals work because they've been exposed to tachyon energy.
How do these studies explain why so many gay men go into hairdressing and fashion design ? Because society pushed them ?
To my knowledge, that has not been addressed. I am also unaware of any study that establishes a propensity in gay men to become hairdressers and fashion designers.
I know, hence the scare quotes. My intent was to highlight that the person to which I replied believes one gender to be inherently superior to another.
Far more men than women are interested in joining the sciences as a career.
That's not terribly interesting. The question you should be asking now is "why".
Fortunately, we have zillions of studies that indicate it's a social, not a biological, consequence. Whether we should work to redress that imbalance is an ethical question. You're free to fall on either side, though I'm not sure you'd be as comfortable with "erecting artificial barriers to repress a particular people group is okay" as you clearly are with "girls just don't like science because biology".
I'm pretty sure you contributed nothing, yet enjoy privilege regardless. Do you actually think you "earned" anything by virtue of being born the "correct" gender?
You'll find countless cowards (anonymous and otherwise) terrified that they'll be unable to compete with "inferior" groups as their undeserved privilege erodes.
Then I realized how easy it was to read other people programs.
I find it it frustrating. It's unnecessarily difficult to tell where various blocks begin and end, particularly when two or more nested blocks end together.
On top of that, the myth that python is inherently easy to read has lead to some ridiculously illegible python code. I cringe every time I need to deal with anything written in python.

It wasn't a study, it was a publicity stunt.
That rabbit-hole goes far deeper:.

Follow the money...

Impossible!
You might notice that most of the artists you named here were terrible.
FTFY
Blashpemer! Imperial are the one true units of measure!
Bow down before your Rod.
Well, it is better than passive voice...
Yet another study that has nothing to do with the claims you made...
I'm starting to see a pattern.
How is that relevant? Where's the bit that sows those differences make women less interested in science?
Ah, that's right, it's not there.

Your bias is showing...
For clarity: You actually believe one gender to be inherently superior to another?
How did you come to hold such a belief?
Feel free to provide some scientific evidence that contradicts the well-established fact that this is a social and not a biological issue.
Oh, wait, you can't. Sorry about that.
Sociological studies. I'm going to guess you don't have any formal background in science.

Yes. Slashdot is ... unenlightened ...

No.
Nothing to see here. Move along.

Indeed. I just wish it had a half-way decent editor.
He's the same guy who brought you the BBS and Text Adventure documentaries. Send him your things!
If you can support floppydump, you can support this guy. He's about the most important computer archivist around.
I used to tutor VAX assembly ages ago. It was a nice system. Be thankful that it wasn't x86.
It could be worse: It could be running Android.
Honestly, is more competition in this space a problem? Is your objection to "Smart TV's" in general or the OS specifically?
It's not like you can't just use a Matchstick or Roku box if you want. At worst, smart TV features are harmless.
Seriously? There's absolutely nothing suspicious about the AC's claim. Countless hobbyists have done the same thing.
I know the younger crowd seems to think assembly seems a bit like incomprehensible magic, but it's really not.
The brain can still be blackboxed and we can call the output sentience.
That would be called "behavior".
