Why is it so hard to imagine that it might be an issue to get unwanted attention from a physically larger potentially threatening person, or a person in a financial position of power over you?
That's not hard to imagine, but plenty of women do want attention from tall rich guys, and are waiting for them to make the first move. How are you going to tell the difference ?
The biggest gap is here: "In the survey, 95 percent of respondents were men", even though an on-line open source collaboration is the perfect place for a female developer to be judged purely on the quality of the code rather than gender. Just pick a gender neutral alias and start coding.
Vitamin Water it has half the sugar and half the calories of Coke per serving so even if you ignore all of the added vitamins Vitamin Water is indeed healthier than a can of Coke.
"Meanwhile anyone with a truck and knife can cause terrorism." Yes, but they only kill 12 people, not 259 like on Pan Am flight 103.
They killed 89 in the Bataclan theatre. They killed 192 in the Madrid train bombings. There are enough crowded places that a handful of people with automatic weapons can create a massacre.
My plan is to avoid travel by plane as much as I can. And if I really have to travel, then I'm going to leave my laptop at home. I don't trust the baggage handlers not to steal it, so checking in is not an option.
I'm impressed with this device you have that can predict the future
Not that hard.. the current crop of terrorists are all 2nd-3rd generation immigrants that have never shown any desire to adopt western values. It's very likely that the next generations of immigrants aren't going to do any better, especially since they can just move into the current Muslim dominated neighborhoods, and stay far from kuffar. And that's not even counting IS militants among the immigrants.
If you stop being afraid the terrorists lose.. It's their goal to terrorize people to make you afraid and make people want things like this to be put in place.
No, their goal is to take over society, install Sharia law, and kill all the infidels. If you stop being afraid, and don't attempt to stop them, they'll only reach their goal sooner.
It'd be easy if anyone would actually confirm the transaction before the price went through the floor.
If you're selling 30k BTC you can afford a slightly bigger fee. Or you can wait for a solution to the fee problem, and sell your BTC for 10 times the amount.
Do you think giving ourselves more time to find other workable and more economic solutions while very quickly reducing our CO2 output for lower cost is a bad thing?
Of course not. As long as you don't lose the sense of urgency, which is a real risk.

You be respectful, move slowly and actually listen to the feedback
That requires making a move. And if you're too slow, or too nice, they'll run off with the other guy.

Give me a break. Nothing your suggesting would make any difference and has nothing to do with the "problem" of women not being interested in coding
Of course it would make a difference. If nobody knows your gender, you won't be treated any differently. Problem solved.
You could make up a fake name but at that point the fact that they have to do that, when men don't, is already inherently hostile.
Sure, but at least you're coding. And after you've become famous as an excellent developer, you can reveal your true name.
I don't know which scientists you listen too, but the last time I heard from those they refused to share exactly that because of "reasons".
I bet that "last time you heard" was a while ago ? https://www.newscientist.com/a...

I'll have two cans!
Is Google's job to return the most relevant results, the most relevant free results, or the most relevant results weighted by their cost for access?
I would love to be able to set that in my preferences. But in any case, GoogleBot needs access to the page in order to index it.
Luckily we can trust those implicitly, especially the model based ones.
Trust is not required. Full source code and input data is available for your inspection and verification.
all laptops are wiped of any personal information upon return to the rental outlet,
Except for the keylogger deeply embedded in the system, of course.
Of course, however the monetary loss is much smaller.
If they wanted to create more monetary loss, there's plenty of unguarded infrastructure that can be attacked.

Since this only applies to flights to foreign countries, it's hard to avoid travel by plane
There are a couple within distance of train/car, and I can avoid nearly all the others.
My plan is to avoid travel by plane as much as I can. And if I really have to travel, then I'm going to leave my laptop at home. I don't trust the baggage handlers not to steal it, so checking in is not an option.
Their backyards are large parts of our cities. I hope you're prepared for civil warfare.

I'm not gonna let act of that shit happen, because I care about freedom in the UK.
So what would be your plan to stop them ? Appease them, and hope they kill you last ?

Yeah, never [wikipedia.org] had a white guy [wikipedia.org] go crazy [wikipedia.org] in the UK [wikipedia.org] before.
The difference is that the Muslims aren't going crazy. They're doing exactly as told by Muhammed (STFU).

Daily Bitcoin trade volume is well over 100k BTC, on most days, and over 200k BTC on high volume days. Selling 30k BTC would be fairly easy, actually.
Good job Britian getting out of this mess.
They are knee deep in the mess themselves.
If you don't like what's being said in the U.S., don't connect to our servers and download it
Good idea, but at that point, Twitter would cave in and apply censorship.
A trebuchet could easily launch 90 kilograms worth of groceries over a distance of 300 meters.
Why would we switch back to coal?
Because it's cheap and available.
