doesnt seem that bad actually. Perhaps the batteries would die too quickly being charged/discharged so often.
Certainly should weigh and cost less "the reactor cannot weigh more than 7,700 pounds..."
For most this is "lose your housing/food" or "risk getting Covid"
You are proving my argument. Nonsense like this has prevented women from feeling like equal participants (and equally capable) in many fields for decades.
Current research generally does not find evidence that variations in preferences, psychology, or personality stem from genetic or biological factors. Rather, they’re primarily attributed to culture and socialization.
um, because there is no credible science behind his assumptions. Many of the researchers he cites dispute his conclusions.
I'm not ignoring his argument, I'm saying it's a really bad argument with almost no evidence to support it.
my point was pretty simple. If society at large, in ways small and big, encourage women from joining a field, I think it's likely fewer will participate.
This is the argument behind Sheryl Sandberg creating stock photos that demonstrate more inclusion. If all I see are white men with grey hair in photos as doctors, don't you think that might bias women to think that's who doctors are? That's not 100% of what influences an interest, but it's an important one.
I have, and I regularly hear depressing and disturbing examples.
He shared a manifesto about gender differences in the workplace. In it, he calls women neurotic.
Whether people's read on the manifesto is reductive of his overall argument isn't the point.
He showed a serious lack of judgement writing and posting that in his workplace. He should not have played the part of expert gender/psychology expert. A researcher he cites specifically disagrees with his takeaways.
There are productive ways to have these kinds of conversations, he chose to go to the opposite wrong end of that spectrum.
Women have enough BS to deal with in tech, the last thing they need is a tech bro mis-using uncertain psych research to justify telling them they should find more appropriate roles.
"i'll do this but i don't want to be the only one." Seeing the scale can be motivating.
It would also be nice to know how this would work at scale. If 100k people sign up, can they support that?
"Who has been buying SUVs since automakers turned them into family vehicles? They tend to be people who are insecure and vain. They are frequently nervous about their marriages and uncomfortable about parenthood. They often lack confidence in their driving skills. Above all, they are apt to be self-centered and self-absorbed, with little interest in their neighbors or communities."
Maybe all of us HN readers should write a note to Gov Newsom?
How did one person make a client that is 100x faster and more stable than Apple's?
Let's change that instead of pushing the cost on consumers.
Maybe some things matter more, like, not fostering an environment where sexual harassment is tolerated.
