    At least one of the authors is a socjus activist.. Perhaps he really really really wants it to be true and is cherry picking facts like a creationist. Considering all the propaganda and groupthink activism out there now, this is likely. You should be asking him to have his paper peer reviewed (check the link it hasn't been) and asking western feminists about those labor camps..

  2. Well, tell that to the feminist community. Of course, if you call them out on their hypocrisy they'll call you a misogynist.

  3. Well, if you are better than everyone else, you deserve to be at the top. You don't deserve to be placed at the top because of your genitalia or your skin color unless you can make a relevant case of merit for those attributes.

  4. Gender issues are a real and serious problem.

    No they're not, at least not in western countries. They're a made up pandemic by marxists and a whole generation of insecure communities who've fallen for it out of constant exposure to propaganda and/or a need to feel 'empowered' (or just 'with it'). They attack their critics with the same irrational zeal as scientologists attack 'suppressive persons.' The only difference is the use of 'oppressive' instead of 'suppressive.'

    The best way to insure that only merit is used to judge code is to forgo the constant drumbeating of 'gender issues' in favor of code reviews backed by reason. If women are truly superior coders and are truly discriminated against, they should fork and compete. Their forks should do better.

    1. ads went from small simple banners to huge flash/js animated annoyances to javascript powered spyware.
    2. ad networks don't care about malware, making adblock a necessity, not just for sanity but for security.
    3. ads cover most of the screenspace these days, making sites illegible.

    Web 2.0 really did make this bed. Now it can sleep in it.

  6. Re:More nation-wrecking idiocy on Are Roads Safer With No Central White Lines? · · Score: 1

    No, actually the SJW approach would be to remove the lines to 'modify' behavior and have further excuse to shame after the increased accidents. This contrasts with fixing the engineering so that drivers can drive safely at higher speeds.. you know, the kind of improvements people pay taxes for. The lines help drivers judge their relative position on the road, esp in bad weather, and is important regardless of speed. This is like putting up tall bushes to reduce visibility, or setting a 300mi stretch of highway in utah to 40mph to rake in tickets. It's asinine and crazy passive aggressive.

    Why do you blame the games? Perhaps the job/spouse was at fault and the game was just an escape valve due to lack of any other choice.

    Define 'thrown away.' There is more to life than breeding and stacking papers. Most 'collage' is little more than a paper mill at this point. Most of the people going to 'collage' don't really belong there but are forced to go just so they can satisfy overstaffed HR depts.

    Addictive personalities can find nearly anything addictive if it gives them pleasure. Stop blaming things and start looking at people.

    That's only because most people are too unaware to realize they perform much worse with a mobile device than they would with proper keyboard, monitor, and software. Then they export their subpar output to others. Who wants to sit there and read badly 'corrected' txt gibberish in an email concerning a critical issue?

    The day all the 'workstation' work requires paying up the ass in 'service' fees for access to remote clusters is the day computing for the masses truly dies.

    and why is there all this flimsy plastic crap, poor assembly, tolerances, and quality control? Cost cutting to keep a price point. Living with junk that's always breaking is its own cost, especially if most people can't afford to throw it away (say a home appliance or a car) and buy a new one whenever it breaks.

    Well, I was talking about increasing prices vs quality for long standing products. If anything, we're more efficient today at producing mass quantities of just about everything, so if prices are still going up, then there's a problem elsewhere.
