Does anyone know what this means to vc funding in the valley ?

To be honest, this is awful optics. So many people were criticizing Trump on the rigged election rhetoric, its weird to see the mental gymnastics about auditing the election from certain figureheads now.

I do hope now that both parties seem to believe its rigged or needs auditing. We can get some real reform, like voter id laws and paper trails like most other reasonable countries. ex. India has voter id laws, and I think Ireland scrapped electronic voting.

Pizzagate has a disturbing laywerlike blow-by-blow rebuttal https://www.reddit.com/r/pizzagate/comments/5ebh01/a_blowbyb...

I guess the comments about the new right being technocrats may be true.

Social pressure on people in charge works. I'm not saying its good or bad here. The new right seems to taken a huge page from saul alinksy and the control-left in their tactics.

The new york times has no credibility with a large portion of liberals and conservatives after the last election. I don't think them addressing anything right now is a good idea. Half of my liberal friends dont trust the mainstream media at all anymore, and ALL of my conservative friends are taking the new york times articles as PROOF something is afoot.

VR museums are my personal killer app.

Most places calling me about jobs want a full stack developer.

Ive been wondering about doing something similar with a compute stick and a nexdock http://nexdock.com/

I have one as well. I'm looking at the Dell XPS or Surface Book since I mostly run linux, and I do not like the new macbook pro.

Wow thanks for the review! Did you ever try installing linux on it ?

I'm not sure what laptop to get next either. This "pro" version and the ribbon are not a good fit for me. I'm really looking closely at the new MS surface books.

After all the replication failures, poor statistics, and more in the social sciences. I am skeptical of this.

This reminds me of the nvidia shield tablet but done right.

Its on purpose. The Wii U did horribly (comparatively) and 3DS did really well. This seems like clever business move to me.

This is horrifying. It's one of the reasons I stopped using ebay.

Do you mean establishment leaning rather than left-leaning, that's what I heard from trump and bernie people.

The big elephant in the room is pregnancy and children. I've thought about having children, and leaving my career very intensely, but pushed it back after seeing the related costs.

My initial guess was diet and/or exercise, but I was thinking it could be some genetic factor as well.

I really wish we had more genomic data from across the world.

That's not what I'm really asking for. I live that reality most days. So I believe it fully.

When I discuss these and sometimes any issue really with engineers or scientists, I try to find technical research papers with null hypothesizes and methodology.

My point being for technical people like engineers, you aren't convincing a lot of people with light fluffy pieces without links to hard data, in fact you get them even more entrenched in their current way of thinking because they think you don't have real scientific evidence.

I've found in personal experience, technical people are far more open minded then the general population, but they tolerate far less bullshit.

Interesting, I hope they do in-depth study. I wonder how they'd deal with this issue from that article.

"But what is also obvious is that it can be very difficult to untangle mom and dad’s contributions because they tend to track together in age. Older dads tend to have children with older moms."

It's a pretty big confounding variable.

This is an anecdote. I have coworker friend who is from india, and he told me most of the men in his family die from heart attacks from age 40-50.

I thought it was weird as heck, but when I researched it showed they had 4x for heart issues against the general population in america.

I'm a first gen korean-american woman (I guess after 30 its weird to call yourself a girl). I've definitely seen this situation too, it was a little depressing.

So I've been bouncing around startups,and even started contracting under my own c-corp to make connections and money. The respect difference has been unreal. I've had to toughen up significantly, you have to really learn to read bs and move on without emotion.

That's another option you can take, I'm personally enjoying it right now.

Probably referring to asians(including indians). Outside of silicon valley, you see a lot of asian developers whose families came from poor immigrant families.

As a women in tech. I'd like citations too. Because I'm not clear what article you are referring too,and the ones I've read in this thread and the medium article are exceptionally weak.

Poor or even worse bullshit articles and poor citations just make the backlash worse, and even harder to get accepted without having to prove I'm at the least a mythical 2x-5x developer.

It would also explain the extreme opposition hes also getting from inside the GOP. It's all very interesting.

That was interesting. really really interesting. I feel like I understand my male family members a little bit better after it.

this could be a killer app in america.

The DNC Leaks made wikileaks a huge part of the counter culture. I was in Phildelphia when the DNC protests happened. I couldn't believe how many Bernie supports said "wikileaks" at least once.

I thought there were a bunch of "chans". Won't the others just replace 4chan in user share?

There was research done in various nordic countries that when men and women are free from severe economic selection pressure, They naturally prefer different roles something like nurse vs construction worker.

Also area's like India,when men and women are under more economic pressure, there is more gender equal distribution in fields.

I've had this explained to me as the "Nordic Paradox".
