Yeah, like nursing doesn't require long stressful hours. That line is full of stupid.
I will however say that women might not like long stressful hours without some sort of payoff at the end. Helping a patient: payoff. Having a project canned through mismanagement: frustratingly no payoff.
Just so I make it clear: I agree that using hockey is a bad way of picking people.:-). And we agree on the basics, I think.
As to talent and productivity, these are hard to see in an interview. And sometimes you want different type of brain in your team. In my experience, women are much more honest about deadlines vs. men (who tend to be more gung-ho). That is also part of having true leadership, for example. But it's not as evident.
But that's not the problem. The problem is when you see a candidate and you think it should be a man (or woman) being interviewed. This can happen in many different ways, not all of them conscious from the interviewer.
For example, I know a place that, when chatting with candidates, would imply that they play video games during the lunch hour. So now, if you are a woman, you need to be a programmer (80% male) that plays video games (60 % male). It makes it that much harder to fit in.
I knew another place that, to move up in the company, you needed to play hockey. All the people who were promoted to management roles were hockey players.
One of the good woman programmers I know likes to paint. Serious painting. She finds both programming and painting fulfilling. But she doesn't play hockey and it's the hockey that would have been a hindrance.
Well if you don't like it then, you're just wrong:-)
Again, I'd feel foolish telling you to eat rice instead of extra vegetables. Meat, you have to be careful (bowel cancer), but from a weight gain perspective, I think we agree.
PS: I'm not a vegetarian. We eat less meat than we used to, but as I said, not because I'm afraid of fat.
I think that if you ate a similar diet and added steamed rice ( reducing proportionately fats and protein), you'd get similar results. The key things that you cut are sugar and processed foods (which often contain sugar).
5g won't be rolling out anytime soon, most probably. My understanding is that the costs are pretty high, and the increase in market penetration isn't there. So providers aren't that keen.
In my opinion, you are absolutely correct. The thing that makes me go ugh every time I have to teach it, is that I can explain the unix pipeline in 10 minutes. Powershell takes much longer than that for very little real benefit.
I agree with you on the whole, but when it came down to what amounts to a set play, the defense, at that moment, might have been setup to defend for a shorter amount of time than what was played. That's why the last measurement is more important: the nomber of outcomes is much smaller.
I don't know who you hang out with, but the D&D players I know tend to be pretty superstitious about their die. And fairness doesn't really enter into it: if you roll any dice for no reason and get a high value, you are wasting those high values. If a dice is rolling badly for you, you "retire" it for the night.
If you screw a woman in some countries without their father's approval beforehand it is rape.
And I would think they would have tons of trouble having you extradited from the U.S. or the U.K. Not that this has anything to do with the case at hand.
I don't know how seriously the scientist took this research.
But I do remember that Richard Feynman wrote a paper on the wobbling movement of a spinning plate. He did this because he was depressed and had scientific writer's block. And nobody would deny the importance of his later work.
Science is science. If what they find is correct in the scientific sense, it really doesn't bother me too much.
I'd be worried if scientists started really competing for the Ig Nobel prizes. But I doubt that they ever will:-).

3. Fun, Fun, Fun! -- if it's not Fun, get rid of it. Blizzard ruthlessly excised most of the un-fun stuff from the standard MMORPG design. Why'd they keep fishing then ?:-)
It should also be noticed that Ericsson are pretty much always behind the curve. This pretty much falls under the heading "Trying to change reality is easier that to change youself."
You'd be surprised about the reasons that may bring this up: sometimes, the single mother has a problem child that she doesn't want suspended because that may mean she will miss work, but she can't.
And, you know, it's your kid: parents think that his or her school problems reflect on the parenting, failing to realize that cooperation (as in working together) with the school is a large part of parenting.

They've released a Steve Harvey show into the wild. The internet will come crashing down because of all that extra downloading.

So do the japanese. They have lower obesity than North Americans.
Hawaiians, however, have integrated high sugar into their diets.

I really dislike sugar in my diet.

Let me put it this way: Bush, for all his flaws, never started a nuclear war. There is still room to be worse than him.
And the U.S. seems to be exploring that space right now. :-)

it makes absolutely no sense, but it does. :-)
What are you complaining about. The meowmeowbeens episode was great. I don't know what could go wrong.
For the Horde, I mean, FOR THE CHILDREN!
So, for the Alliance, then.
For the ward!

He seems rather confident with a two year head start on a company that has "billions and billions of dollars."

When challenged, Pear cables chickened out.
I checked. Pear cables did not go out of business.
I remember a USENIX talk about Altavista's servers and they had many more web servers than DB servers (like 3 to 1).
So I'm not surprised.
