  1. Heading for myopia on Screen Time Not Intrinsically Bad For Children, Say Doctors (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    We already know back from the '60s-'70s, when education was only for the elite, that those students were reading more books than the average, their eyesight was deteriorating towards myopia. There is ample proof from current research that extensive device time is leading to whole crowds suffering from myopia."Not bad for children" is one of the stupidest and worst statements I've heard from medical experts in a very long time.

    So true.

  3. Re:"In front of"? on Ask Slashdot: Could A 'Smart Firewall' Protect IoT Devices? · · Score: 1

    I don't know. "In front of" is more of an hook to suggest that whatever happens on the LAN, in the end it needs to pass through the "IoT FW". I'm sure there are many ore technical challenges to overcome.

    Right. And grandma, what does she need to do?

  5. Re:Not the right audience on Ask Slashdot: Could A 'Smart Firewall' Protect IoT Devices? · · Score: 1

    That's a strong argument. I don't have a real answer to that. I like the combination of a manifest file with an RFC. May this way it's possible to skip grandma and make the hop from industry to home network.

  6. Re:Social problem, not technical on Ask Slashdot: Could A 'Smart Firewall' Protect IoT Devices? · · Score: 1

    Yes, I've seen this argument before. And it's a strong argument to that. And I don't really know how to approach this. I like the idea of a manifest file i.c.w. an RFC. Perhaps this will work in getting it into the field without bothering grandma.

  7. Re:some rules on Ask Slashdot: Could A 'Smart Firewall' Protect IoT Devices? · · Score: 1

    And who is going to write the rules? Jack? Jill? The manufacturer of the wifi router? The whole idea is to off load this away from the end consumer.

  8. Re:Ideally a manifest/profile from IoT makers... on Ask Slashdot: Could A 'Smart Firewall' Protect IoT Devices? · · Score: 1

    Excellent idea. A manifest file would make it much more manageable. Bonus points for this one.

  9. Re:And women elected in these on Dutch Science Academy Plans A Women-Only Election (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 2

    The only way to avoid this is by promoting strict, unyielding meritocracy.

    Which will never happen as the academic world is a men's only world, You would be surprised if you knew the abundence of sexism, racism and paternalism in the academic world. It's appalling and we need to stop it. Read Critical Mass Theory and Women’s Political Representation to understand why males (myself included) are the cause of this.

  10. Re:Ah. Sexism at its finest. on Dutch Science Academy Plans A Women-Only Election (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    This hurts EVERYONE. Because it's telling people that if you can claim to be in a suitably "oppressed" segment of society, that it's perfectly OK to lower standards just to let you get by...

    Now this is a text book example of framing... Why do you think that representation of women is solely a matter of academic standards and quality? Your reasoning (and tone of voice of bringing your argument across) is really framing women into equality and lesser standard.

  11. Re:A bit like the Paralympics ... but for science on Dutch Science Academy Plans A Women-Only Election (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    Is that what they are saying for women in science ?

    Now this is a text book example of framing...

  12. Tunnel vision on Dutch Science Academy Plans A Women-Only Election (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    I see the majority of the comments here coming from tunnel vision. Would a female nerd feel welcome here at /. ? I don't think so. The playing field of women in a man' s world is hardly related to merit, but much more to hidden and unconscious sexism, hidden and unconscious exclusion. Just look at the nature of the majority of comments here, and you will notice that woman are framed in a position of weakness and shortcomings.This has nothing to do with the capabilities of woman, but much more with the bind spot of men.
