Dear US Americans, I tried to express my concern regarding your countries condition in a polite way, but that would have included a lengthly discussion of indicators which no one would have read. Therefore, in short: You are so fucked!
While other countries support their students with a basic income and allow them to study free of charge, you have to pay for it. In addition you seem not to have learned critical thinking at school, college and university otherwise you would not depend on Uber but disregard voting.
You people.need to start to think logically and go into politics. Yes that will get messy. Yes it is ugly. And yes you might end up being a zombi like those in congress, but that is up to you. Otherwise you will wake up in an Imperium Americanum with a Cesar as President and a paralized congress (senate to stay in the picture). Oh wait.... never mind.
You still need land access and the tube cannot hover in the air. Therefore, you need pillars and the ground they are standing on. You need space between both tubes and free space on each side to mitigate potential hazard effects and provide emergency access.
There are trainable models such AS neural networks/deep learning and statistical models. There are also models which habe to be configured. We can even combine them. In the end this is all just classification mechanisms. They are all good at detecting known issues. They are not able to come up with new stuff.
It helps to read the whole Wikipedia article. First, it tell us that the reactor type is "in development" which means, it is not available, and in context of the Slashdot article, we are not talking about fancy new reactor types, but about conventional ones. They are big and immobile. Second, the Wikipedia article states that "A prototype was scheduled for manufacture in 2015. However its development seems to have ended." So it is a merely Potemkin reactor.
I am talking about the plant. You cannot move the plant. While you can move a solar plant, as they are modular, nuclear plants are rather immobile and In case of sea level rise, a flooded plant is a serious hazard for the region it stands in.
No it is a European thing located in Germany. However, the tunnels where financed and built by the German government, the lab is a German company (by law) and it is related to DESY.
What has gender to do with mental capacity? Women in western countries do not go into tech (but into math). However, in other countries they do have a preference for tech. Looks like this is just a cultural thing.
Boot camp may refer to basic military training or a cruel method of punishment. Why do you use a military term for something which is more like education and training? I hope you do not punish the wannaby coders when they code wrong.
Also programming requires practice and a good theoretical background. Nothing you can get in a short and intensive training program. However, it might help to learn something new.
It is good to have doubts, especially for such topics, like P vs. NP. However, doubts are not the equivalent to error. Therefore, we have to wait until mathematicians have come to a definitive answer.
And how are the people enabled to buy products when no one is working? Furthermore, employment regulations exists that business owners cannot exploit people and have them to treat like human beings. The concept behind it is called him and rights.
Still it us not uncommon to not read a message immediately. For example when you are talking with other people at the time. This would be impolite and shows how less you care about other people. In addition using an asynchronous communication channel with limited message length to govern any structure is ludicrous. Only idiots would do so.
"Math is more than just a multiplication tool." I never said that. Quite contrary, I pointed out that (applied) math is the application of rules (axioms, lemmas, sentences etc.) to a problems. For example, to express the relationship between prey and predator, fluid dynamics and coupled models (biogeochemical models and ocean circulation) to name a few. In contrast, programming and many other parts in computer science use a process to break down problems into steps/tasks/statements/functions to be able to map complex problems onto smaller problems were solution exists. This principle is also used in math, but it is a very small portion of math.
CS uses math principles and historically parts of it originate from mathematics (other from philosophy and language). However, coming up with solutions to math problems regularly require finding proofs, which requires inductive and deductive resolution strategies based on math rules. This is quite different from what you do in programming. However, in schools people often only learn processes to solve certain problems, like curve sketching. If you do not have proofs in school, the way to think in a math class and programming are very similar.
Many companies use a multi layered neural network to classify street signs. As it highly depends on the learning data how such system classifies, it is relevant to note which implementation was tested.
Furthermore, being able to also classify signs with stickers just requires more learning data.
First, programming is quite different to math, the latter is the application of rules and pattern onto problems to, for example, describe and model them, while programming is mostly the division of a problem in smaller parts which can be expressed in a programming language. Second, the SAT score only express (if at all) how well women and men are educated in math in the US. Like many western countries, math has a "female do not need to know" tag attached to it. Unfortunately, the SAT score is only an US American thing and cannot be used to analyze the same thing in other countries. However, here are just two example which may show you that this difference in the USA is based on cultural aspects and not based on potential. Example one are East Germany compared to West Germany. While now unified for over a decade, women in the east where better in math than their western counterparts and the distance to men was much lower. Since the unification the eastern part is "catching up with the west" which results in less knowledge in math for women. A similar process can be seen in other east European countries. The second example is Iran. While the USA officially hates Iran and is usually calling them backward terrorist supporters, they are a country where women take engineering courses and get grades in that field. They are also very dedicated to their work (at least those I know of, which means we had them as students and researchers at our universities). The men in Iran rather study social topics and of course religious documents.
To your question: Is the math test sexist? No it is not, it shows, however, societal tendencies and the reproduction of stupid gender stereotypes. Furthermore, it is very far fetched from a scientific point of view to come from the SAT score (which is not a scientific instrument) which is purely outcome oriented, which means it does not distinguish between social effect, training, bias, and biological limits.
BTW: The math score goes in 10 point increments. From 200-800 (according to Wikipedia) meaning 30 points are actually 3 point difference in a range from 20-80 (60 point range) which resolves to a 5% deviation. That is not that much. Furthermore, in the particular case we are talking about Google who hired personnel. It is save to say that they try to hire the most qualified people for the money offered. And of course they employ university graduates. Therefore, women who do not study CS will not end up there. Also women who do not perform good at university will show up at Google.
On a side note: the SATs in math is dropping for years now. In that race women in the US are only a little bit ahead of their male counterparts.
As peeing while standing and giving birth are not key for a programmer, there are no remaining differences regarding the job. If you feel less appreciated talk about it, but please do not generalize. That is not helping you or others.

There is a super simple way to address climate change. Reduce emissions (CO2, methane, etc.). Adding sulfur in the air has severe side effects.

Well they could relocate in 50 years. A thing you cannot do with a nuclear plant.
It is 3.4 km long (2 guaddle fotts 7 notches) hard to make that really small to be able to put it on a train. Men in Black gun is still out of reach.
No it is a European thing located in Germany. However, the tunnels where financed and built by the German government, the lab is a German company (by law) and it is related to DESY.
Britain is not moving away from Germany, it wants to leave the EU. There are 26 more states beside Germany in the EU (not counting the UK).

No, we only have 30 years left to get CO2 neutral. We do not have 100 years left or even 50.

Trump keeps his word. Jobs are returning to the US. well it is only for robots, but he never said it will be for people, did he?

What is your view on the subject? I couldn't get quite your definition of the characteristics of math and programming.

Thanks.
You can fire someone for no reason in the US? Strange.
He is still a twit and beside /. this topic will be gone in a month with no trace.
