http://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/males-and-females-differ-... Literally five minutes dudes--addressed to the author's dismissal of the comments. There are significant structural differences in the functional areas of the brain due to gender, on average. Some of these areas are involved in spatial processing and long term/short term memory processing. Certainly there appears to be higher density in the areas of the prefrontal cortex associated with executive function in women--anecdotally n={about 5}, I've seen way better female project managers than men, but that could simply be the industries I'm associated with. There's definitely structural differences that should have a huge impact on focus and attention as well as visual and spatial processing between men and women. It seems that a majority of the male based differences are in the midbrain where memory, emotion, reinforcement learning, etc are processed. How this translates to computer programming skill probably hasn't been explored because postmodernism and reasons, but I'm sure a few weeks with women and men coders in fMRI machines would show activation differences or not rather quickly. You would think that people would be eager to identify these differences or to prove that it doesn't exist, but in my experience, everything that a scientist might be interested in that runs counter to the progressive narrative usually gets dismissed for shaky reasons. Peer review? My first experience with peer review was with a world renowned physicist who was a friend of our dean's who was in town and taught a class and did research with us physics undergrads. I've seen just how non-rational and political the peer review system is which is why I avoided academia. Oh, and I have worked in cognitive research for several years so I kinda have some experience with this stuff. Do I care? No. I've had fantastic women and men engineers as peers and reports and crappy women and men engineers as well. What I do care about is shoehorning people who may not have ability or passion into a career just to satisfy SJW virtue signalers. Honestly, weren't we all signed on to judging by the content of character and not outward appearance?

Might not be such a bad thing. Get all of the money out of GP AI and maybe let the hackers take this one.

Well, actually, they can, but it depends on what kind of information you're trying to get out of someone.

Harvey Mudd has a great college course https://www.math.hmc.edu/~su/math131/ on Real Analysis and they use Rudin's Principles of Mathematical Analysis which is a wonderful, all be it challenging text. Professor Su does a great job of explaining it all. I put a lot of math video/lecture information on my web site that I developed to try and give 'hackrrspace' members access to an engineering/physics degree without attending college--or supplementing a non-technical or associates degree. https://hackereducation.wordpress.com/hacker-education-conte...

Businesses would pay workers better if there were less artificial barriers to hiring--employer mandate--and more competition for resources--limiting H1B abuse. Of course, this is only up to a point where it is economically viable to remain a going concern.

Give the plebs cake so that they ignore our regulatory capture and rent seeking. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Yes, to a certain extent, the success this article speaks of can be attributed to being in the right place at the right time with the correct amount of resources _and_ the propensity--and tolerance--for risk and the tenacity to work hard and smart on a goal. Often times, when approaching entrepreneurs, the last two are emphasized and the former are dismissed. Timing is something that can not be equalized. Its just a fact of reality.

What can be equalized is the knowledge to be able to take advantage of a situation when it presents itself. This is not taught in school. This is often passed from parent to child, mentor to protege. Tenacity and risk taking are likely inherited so they cannot be equalized.

Of course, a proper definition of Risk would be barren or a non sequitur without the understanding that having basic needs met or having a fall back position certainly separates the wild eyed failed Willy Lomans from the perceived rational but radical successes like Bill Gates or Steve Jobs. Certainly they took risks. Certainly they broke rules. What they did not have was thousands of dollars in student debt and unstable housing situations that would cause them to fail completely if a venture failed to pan out.

Even re-visiting the simple regulatory capture of zoning would begin to alleviate this. If you needn't spend 750 thousand dollars to be close to the source of funding required to grow a business and need not have expensive audits and permitting to begin to manufacture a product to test a market, you would be in a better position to fall back upon failing to seek funding or gaining market penetration.

The worst offender in the arena of regulatory capture is overly broad Work For Hire agreements and baroque and costly Patenting regulation. If you do not have the ability to explore your own ideas when not performing work related to your primary source of income, you do not have the ability to risk creating a new intellectual property asset. Given that in many jurisdictions, you cannot live in a car or on the street and make use of public facilities such as libraries to do your work, you need a primary income in order to engage in such activities--unless you already have been provided one by parents or benefactor. Even further exasperating this issue is that once you have an asset that prima facie is not relevant to the work performed at your primary source of support, you need additional funds to risk to obtain assistance navigating the complex legal process of patenting and defending your assertion that the asset does not fall under the scope of a work for hire agreement--which may be implicit depending on the jurisdiction.

Come back to me when you fix these issues; not hand outs to people who have not. When anyone can pursue their ideas independent of the regulatory structure and overbearing presence of aggressive patenting, zoning or access limitation, aggressive employer enforcement of WFH either explicit or implicit, and overly burdensome regulatory barriers to competition, then you can tell me that the free market isn't working and we need to rely on transfer payments.

I doubt Australia's power problems have anything to do with technology.

Time to make a 'college' torrent for people who have no money. Download all of the content through OCW, UCB, UCI, etc and put it back up as torrent seed to make sure this crap doesn't happen.

e^i(pi)=-1 is a truly beautiful formula.

I think I got to chapter 6 of deep learning(deeplearningbook.org) before I ran out of steam. I went non-traditional as a Chem then physics-pre med major before grad school in comp sci so my linear algebra is piecemeal from quantum physics and math methods in physics. I really wish I took linear algebra before going through my cs grad school, but now I"m almost tempted to do Gilbert Strang's course on OCW to brush up on it. Linear algebra is the key to this stuff--well some tensor analysis as well, which, in my case, Dr. Houston snuck into math methods using Einstein notation. Yes, I did the Tensor Flow examples with the MNIST data, which was neat. I'm going to try the Coursera course as suggested by this article. I have links to Strang's linear algebra as well as a Drexel University course on Tensors on my page (https://hackereducation.wordpress.com/hacker-education-conte...)

Baloney. This was started during the Obama era. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick-fil-A_same-sex_marriage_...

Or we live in a game and 'avatars' are moderators. Perhaps some of the people in the game are PCs with no awareness of their being in the game and the rest are sentient NPCs.

Brings back good memories. When my power pack went, I was devastated.

Victor Lustig approves of your shenanigans.

The space poop problem is that they are only willing to spend $30,000 on a very serious problem that can have severe medical consequences.

I love c.

Baloney. If you take it the way you're supposed to, it works fine.

Simple. Make it like medical MJ so the people on it get monitored by a physician to make sure they are healthy.

A thing of beauty. This guy is so much smarter than I am.

Emacs/Hurd? We were promised Hurd.

Perhaps I should be more specific. He doesn't appear to demonstrate a high level of executive function disorder(ADHD properly named), Dyslexia, or Dyscalculia. He also doesn't appear to have any specific perceptual disorders and by the rate he reads texts, I'd imagine his verbal IQ to be at least 3 standard deviations above the mean.

Probably helps that he has a fairly high IQ and no visible learning disorders.

That's a hard subject to discuss, but the delivery comes over as rather flaccid.

emacs for editing/coding, vi for systems administration.

Resource management and leveling, how does it work?

To be fair, that's either because the projectile wasn't capable of fragmentation--m193--due to velocity or other reasons and the lethality of the weapon depends on fragmentation.

This guy would seem to agree with you: https://youtu.be/MCSySuemiHU

With an elitist attitude and terms like 'you people' you are sounding like someone who would fit that profile. There are 8 million+ ar15s in civilian hands and how many people have been killed by them?
