Or maybe coding is something that when women try to get involved they discover they are unwelcome. There's the one guy who's just a dick to women. There's one who hasn't washed since 2004. There's one who has to one-up everything she says. There's several who have to hit on her because she's the only woman they get to talk to.
I half agree with you. My opinion is that intelligence is in general not a useful evolutionary attribute and the fact we have it is simply dumb luck. In evolutionary terms, we're not much of a success; by mass, algae and amoebas are way ahead. We're more populous than monkeys, but then so are mice.
No. You don't get to just make changes like that in that envirnoment. It's probably more likely to do with the fact the crusty old COBOL is running on several layers of emulation (really) because the hardware is generations old, and someone somewhere slipped a unicode character into the message stream, or something equally daft.
Actually, historically default is quite common and not particularly harmful in the long term. Yes, over the near term it causes horrendous disruption but I have to say if I were Greece, having achieved a primary surplus I would be thinking very carefully about the medium to long term benefits of defaulting.
It doesn't matter how many times this gets repeated, but never mind, I'll say it again: national economics are not like your personal budget and bank account.
Presumably if it works on a narrow frequency band it only has to listen on that frequency, so extraneous noise won't be an issue. And I imagine they will have remembered to include error correction.
You're basically saying that anything you don't agree with can't be be studied, which is self-evidently bullshit. There is a massive literature on minimum wage effects which you're welcome to pick holes in. You can't just ignore it, though.
As for stickiness, your argument seems to be that residual stickiness is worse than the harm inflicted by widespread low pay, which seems to be overdoing it somewhat.
There are good arguments that wages, especially at the lower bound, are sticky and don't reflect a "true" market rate. The theoretical models are complex, but the evidence is simple: almost everywhere the minimum wages are imposed or increased, the predicted negative consequences invariably fail to materialise.
The difference is that #killallmen is a (dark) joke, and the SCUM manifesto is a raving from the lunatic fringe. Whereas the womanbeating subreddit has 34k subscribers. But as soon as feminism shows any hints of diversity of view, or of not being cuddly and friendly, it's seen as grounds to attack it.
The men's rights crowd do have some valid arguments but frankly they could be a lot better presented and they could be a lot more careful about the company they keep.
The thing that you're missing is that employers only care what school you got into, not what you did once you got there. As long as you graduated, you learned enough, and the school's admissions procedure forms a handy part of the firm's recruitment process. The farmvillers are the rational ones, not you.
In addition, murder is the crime that has the lowest re-offending rate (where we count *any* crime) after release. Most murderers kill for very specific reasons under great stress and regret it later. Indeed, you could take that argument to its conclusion and say that most murderers should simply be released once found guilty.
Hmm. I'm not sure that R is useful unless you have the domain knowledge. People using R want to solve statistical or numerical problems, and most of the skill is in the problem domain and then programming appropriately. Just knowing R syntax and object model is not enough to be useful in the the typical R user environment, I think.

Oh well. It's been nice, Slashdot. But I think we're done.
Well that's nice, but good luck when it comes to you convincing me to hire you.

You should try this thing called masturbation. Might make you less inclined to spout total bullshit.
I think you mean a wascally wabbit.

What part of "in part" did you struggle with? No, competition can't make real costs go away, but it can force providers to be more efficient.
Do you put this much effort into informing people about the specifics of real rape cases, which are vastly more common than false allegations?
Also, yes, I know it's only 13 seconds since I hit reply. When you're as awesome as me, you don't *need* more time.

And you're assuming in turn everyone shares your motivations. I have bad news.

Wrong country, but never mind. You seem awfully bent out of shape about it though.
Somebody's still bitter about not getting in, huh?

You need to Google more.
I have. Domestic violence is much worse. Which is rather the point of my post.
You must be new here. Anything that involves changing the way we think about an issue is an outrage and must be resisted on principle. You wanker.
