This doesn't apply to Bhuj though. From what I hear, the town has unparalleled facilities not found anywhere else in the country all courtesy of its expats and business people.

>> It's not in my self interest to isolate myself or to treat others poorly.

This is how I see it too. It is in my self interest to be caring of others and do it some times at a loss for myself. While there are many times I haven't bothered if I stood to gain from an activity that caused loss to someone else. That was the game I was playing.

what are you talking about?

I understood Rand as if each of us truly focus on our individual needs then the world will be a better place.

The world is lot shittier because there are lots of people who seem to think they know what someone else wants.

Or Wright has Multiple Personality Disorder[1]. One is sloppy and the other is thorough.

His point still stands. With data as the focus, GA should be built in such a way that users don't see the need tyo use Mixpanel & others.

But that is not the case. Which suggest Google isn't that good at productivizing stuff.

Isn't Science all about letting data shine the light. Why would we have a hard time accepting?

To add, IMO there is a gap in the market for a dumb phone that can also act as a 4G router. I can then pair it with my tablet/iPod touch when I need to go online.

But most times, I want to use the phone just to make/receive calls/text & have good battery. No need for a big display or other stuff.

>> Prove you deserve to be at the table, prove you deserve to be there based merits etc.. Not because of gender, race etc.

I would add white privilege or majority privilege to that... quite a few blokes get a seat at the table cause they identify with the majority group or vice versa.

>> I'm not sure the people who hire programmers really want to view them as adults. More like minions, talented but immature young men rotating through, happy with their video games and foosball tables and salaries that pay well enough to enjoy a delayed adolescence but never enough to put down roots and raise a family where they live and work…

I have seen this attitude several times and these guys are selling the products/services produced by such minions for real market value while the minions think they have hot the jackpot with the video game consoles. I keep telling such folk to charge top dollar and f&^*ing donate the unwanted money to charity or a struggling video game startup..

I think the evidence is to the contrary as I mentioned in my earlier comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10372862

and the inferences from those evidence is that women are predisposed to studies that involve human interactions and very less evidence that social factors play a part...

infact it is in unequal societies( relatively speaking) where social factors play a part that forces women to consider professions like CS.

basically a comedian asked question on why women were still choosing non-hard sciences in scandinavian countries inspite of the overt and covert equality measures. it ends up pitting one side against other. My reading is only one side had evidence and the other side used lots of emotion. Google threw up these references

the more equal a society the less likely women will opt for hard sciences

and hence they had strict rules of hygiene then... many passed on as superstition but served a purpose...

The Indian form of greeting of Namaste as opposed to Hand shake is one such practice...

or how about Shewag is India's Warner :)
