Concerts with stars often making very explicit moves towards audience is something significantly different from what normal people do but I have a general q. to you: how is one landing at what you describe as 'further relations' w/o any preparatory work called flirt? How does that work?
By using a word 'moron' and throwing allegations you joined the screaming crowd that you complained about.
If you were AS I would even considering a trolling but as you are in full glory here I'd say your comment is not as valid as it could have been if it were posted w/o pointing fingers and verbal abuse.
Thought so too. Besides this my experience at pair coding (or whatever that is that you do) is that it sucks all energy. It motivates etc. so it is brilliant way to be very productive unless of course the two do not agree with each other, cannot stand each other occasionally, the task requires to be indeed two at two different places doing two (or ore) different things at the same time as there is nobody else in the team etc etc. This way of doing stuff being very exhausting cannot be done 24x7 year after year but for certain phases of the project. One of the pair having kids make it hardly impossible to continue this 100% etc. Plus: there are indeed people that cannot do it, are just not meant to do it because god did not have given them ability to do so. The advice is great but does not apply to everybody and not to all conditions so this - why not more people do that is just a silly question. Besides - this much time spent together will raise questions of different nature which in today's culture are just toxic which leads us to a whole different world of ugly altogether.
I used to have a policy to go to a good restaurant for agood steak and bottle of red every time a spike in alarmist reports hit. Now Ihad to change that as I have neither time nor money and it became detrimental to my health to go there every so often. But this report deserves it. This much dying predicted means I can order a second bottle or invite a hooker too.
Few weeks back a chief of security agency called Protection of Constitution Agency (Verfassungssschutz) said that the German Chancellor and German main stream Media topped even the Russian campaigns by inventing attacks on foreigners where there were none. Government and media stopped claiming there were any people chasing foreigners through the streets of Chmenitz after that but the man was fired anyway. In fact there are plenty of misinformation and which hunts all over the Western world. It seems to be a new sport. I think Russians do it too. The problem is - only Russians get fingers pointed at them.
Which capitalism do you mean? German version, US version, NK one? Or maybe Somalian ? These are all different and have different ways of dealing with problems and yet each of these systems as well all others have some meaning attached to the word property. Sometimes all property is state owned which is to say there is a small group of assholes that own the whole country like it is the case in NK. But even there there is something called private property and people keep some of it and exchange some of it to get something else. All these systems server humans although benefits of each human may vary significantly. While we are at it - that life in any social system is rigged should also be clear to you. That we in the West generally tend to hate all that we achieved together with the bad things that happened along the way should also be clear to you. What may not be clear is that consequences of hating a system that supports your possibly miserable life may flow into making it less supportive and thus making your life significantly more miserable. But hey you may have more pain but on the good side your life may be shorter too then.
Bottom line is this - rigged as it is, capitalism is in some of its incarnations still better than in others. The choice is not always at your hands but once you have some say you should be careful what you wish. It is very simple to end up with Pol Pot like murderers as overlords.
It may also be that convulsions like the ones under Pol Pot or WW2 or French Revolution are unavoidable from time to time especially if the ones at the top have enough means to let the plebs rot in slums w/o having to smell the stench. We are not there quite yet tho. It may also be that technological progress will make revolts almost impossible w/o almost complete destruction of our civilization. It may also be that the suffering we had to endure under communists in east of Europe was the force giving the western wankers the privileges they could enjoy in the west - the top had to fear at least a little.
The point of this lengthy rant is however - it is not really capitalism that sucks and not all of current Western social/economic system sucks. It maybe also as good as it is now. An awful thought I admit.
Considering overpopulation that is a good thing. If BJ is executed properly this is also a significant increase in life quality. Not likely I am afraid but my evidence is anecdotal so you may get lucky. As for mutual whatever - that is largely irrelevant. In today's atmosphere a lady may change her view on er consent long after a happy ending making it all less happy. A possible significant settlement out of the court and low cost of such change of consent may play a role in it.
This is not true. Assuming that distribution of desired skillsets is the same for women and men (something which is evidently not true as men's curve for instance for IQ has significantly bigger tails) ignoring the skillset parameter and concentrating on gender parameter for instance (or skin or some other skillset unrelated one) you will have random chance of getting the best out of pool of candidates. Taking the real distribution of desired skillsets into consideration this will change decreasing the probability of a good choice but not eliminating it completely. In the long run you will decrease your chances assuming that the skillset choice and examination is possible and they have a direct influence on the outcome desired by hiring company.
As the discussion involving use of facts may increase a chance of being fired (see here) I do not think this can be determined or used as a policy. However one can get onto the statistics for outcomes. I would imagine they may be available at some point showing how a hiring policy in which major ingredient or condition is SJ influences an outcome. It may be difficult to find a body of data for comparison tho as equality of outcomes seems to be a legal requirement in many countries in the West these days.
I understand the need for elephants in space but I think we are forgetting something important - they are of no use if they cannot stand on something stable so you need to send the same number of turtles.
cured ? If the current hysteria is not going to ease up and go they will be no curing anything but heteros will be required to engage in promoted activities to get enough points to get to academy and then on board.
I managed to watch only to the point where the speaker said "there is no question about it at all". Banning questions is guaranteed way for projects to go wrong however nice and progessive their goal might be.
Strangely enough that is the same in SW. I learned it the hard way when a company I worked for was hired to write some modules in some bigger entity. The pay was linked to Q. measured in number of fixes deployed. The problem - I wrote my modules so that I could understand them w/o much effort after a year or so. The result was that they were fixing the faults in other modules by making changes and bypasses in mine modules with counter running on my cost.
of the not so ancient past could be repaired. It was not always easy - a set for repairing a diesel engine or its fuel pump could cost quite nice sum of money and require some feeling in the fingers as well as knowledge. The company that produced the machine could have ceased to exist and yet the repair was still possible by getting the spare parts from the junkyard. The modern car of today electric or ICE have computers on board which if secured from malware may be impossible to fix if company producing them did not leave the code open and even then the cost of fixing the bug in a sw of an ancient car make repairs probably not feasible. This is a problem because almost each part has now some sort of SW identity with which it communicates with other parts or with central unit. That leaves car repair where exactly? Add to this that SW running diagnostic may not be able to identify the fault properly - the result is very expensive exchange of parts by try and error. How do you maintain SW in all the gadgets in your house that have IP address? How do you know nothing possessing a camera (light bulb in the ceiling or vibrator) has not been hijacked and and sending photos of yourself eating tv dinner half naked in front of a TV sent to youtube for perverts to enjoy.
Company I work for produces industrial SW - maintenance group has been outsourced to India with fixed yearly cost. What do you think happens then after the cap has been reached in May or even April due to lousy design practice? I talked with customer representative lately and they were not annoyed just mildly disgusted.
I used to go to a good restaurant for a good real (no ersatz meat) steak and bottle of good wine. With the frequency the reports are coming I will be having to replace my liver soon. I eventually stopped believing in the environmental disaster reports on the day EU commissar for something announced that there are thousands of NOx deaths that we shall prevent by moving to donkey as a means of transportation (that is not exactly what she said but these are consequences of what she said). As it is we have activists waltzing everybody down for even asking questions and then the other side is rejecting the claims outright. I think both positions are wrong. But as I have no impact on either side I will just limit the visits stake & wine escapades to once a month. Not to save environment but rather my pocket and liver. I guess I am not the only one who became cynical.
They should be but this will happen anyway whatever the attempts to prevent it. You probably should not write it in the daily sun but my understanding is this is not the level of propagation we talk about here. Instead of worrying we should get to know what we can do about the eventual but right now still hypothetical threat. What will happen however everybody gets excited now and nothing will happen besides some sloppy attempts at preventing such research from getting into open.
I think I will call BS on this one. Well maybe that is too hard. Assuming this alg does what it is supposed to do, it can very well be that these patterns they talk about are that you have more lads than laddies for technical jobs. Alternatively the alg can be wrong too. Most likely both arguments are true. Assumption that at the end you will get 50% women is just silly. To illustrate the point - my boss when she employs people has to write to HQ a proper justification why she employs a male. If she employs a female she does not have to do it. This is a lots of work for nothing because where I work no sane women would apply - the job too difficult for the pay and the pay to low for the difficulty. There is probably also another reason: why would you go to a difficult job with a risk of layoffs every year when you can work for local or state administration w/o that risk? I am probably an asshole too which makes working in our group unattractive. Strangely a female colleague in a group I left few years back expressed explicit appreciation for support she got from me. I guess she was under influence or oppressed.
I would also think that the results are not sexists or discriminatory in any sense other than - we did not get 50/50 set. This is not an abuse of women right but abuse of language.
Putin did all. We did nothing. Nothing has changed then and there is no need to wake up. I just wonder how can you be so sure that Putin authorizes all shit that happens (assuming that Russians did it which it may be but I have there my doubts). I mean already the Russian Federation is big so he would have problem authorizing all what happens there. Here again I am not saying this did not happen only that all this optimism about accuracy of our gooks and their good will is as history shows usually not justified.
You should watch ' How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb'. There is an explanation of (among other things) why you should tell everybody that you own a doomsday machine.
indeed the cost of accusation is low and possible benefits even if it is 'fun of looking at their lives being ruined' priceless. What do you expect to happen then?
