> Men being with many woman during college is considered experimenting

Or it is considered a rape. General advice today is to treat college as a workplace and date girls outside, who are not students.

> A blond woman does the same and she's a dumb blond.

I seen many dumb men

> A woman fails, and it's because maybe women aren't cut out for this.

...or maybe it is because of environment, conditioning.. When women fails we need to raise awareness, funds...

When men fails it is natural, no help is needed.

And that's why today 60% of students are women (and raising). But it hurts women too, because they will not find husbands to marry.

I think I will go with discrimination and sexism.

> Woman have certain standards they need to live up to that aren't necessarily expected of men.

Could you name some? I have opposite experience.

> was fired from to a field in territory controlled by Russian-backed rebels.

> "...that came from the Russian Federation," chief Dutch police investigator Wilbert Paulissen said

I think the wording 'territory of the Russian Federation' is not best choice. Report says it was fired from Ukraine, 10 km from border. It implies that donbas is already part of russia.

> fewer than one in five CS degrees are earned by women

Boys born today are 40% less likely to graduate than girls. I think this 'problem' will solve itself.

EDIT: I was not very clear. This is not success rate after joining college. Today 60% of all students are women and this fraction is rising. In 18 years men will be a small minority at university education.

For $0.5B you can buy some reputation :-)

Location independence, 60% time without work...

> two early twenty year olds.... Even though their job advertisement called for the passionate, opinionated, and entrepreneurial-type, they really wanted someone who could become that under them. Both were solid, but according to LinkedIn, neither had much experience outside college.

I just dont understand why someone with so much experience would apply for entry level position, under some college greenhorns.

Consulting business is pretty low risk.

I started my own business when my wife was pregnant. I found it much more family friendly than 9-5 cubicle job.

> I’ve published a dozen articles ... build software with thousands of paying customers. ... work on open source Python. ... read almost 40 business books, and I live and breathe HackerNews.

Why not start your own business or become CTO? Why work for someone less experienced?

Most bugs in Android 4.4 are not fixed. That is just three years old branch. Upgrading to latest 7.x is not an option for everyone

Linux has LTS support for 15 years. WinXP was supported for 13 years.

I think this is great idea. Many users are watching youtube offline.

There is a really scary side of that, users are being punished for doing software upgrades.

It would be interesting to return notebook after 1 year, because you disagree with Windows EULA.

It has highly eccentric orbit, tidal forces must be enormous.

> There is tons of money in science!

Of course there is tons of money in science. But it does not go towards scientists.

Some of my friends have PhDs in oceanography. Most of them are working in the lab, cutting fish (sampling) for minimal wage.

They are not even permanent employees, but on sliding contract extended every 6 months. Every 4.5 years they have to take one year break, because after 5 years they would become permanent employees.

Half empty building they work in has price tag over 200M euro (30M would do). Institute has over 60% non scientific stuff (all permanent of course). For example 10% of people are in HR, my corporation had 0.5% people in HR.

And if you studied 10+ years to write documentation which only needs 3 years degree... That is lot of wasted time and money.

Gimp source code is pretty old. Adding stuff like 16/32 bit support is not easy.

On other side Krita is newer, uses QT, is developing faster etc..

But the original article is treating it as separate issue. It does not even acknowledge bad career prospects and low salary as a problem.

Great! Problem is not that scientists are often paid less than McDonald's burger flipper.

No! It is social and gender issue! Lets push even more students into this career path.

Similar in Czech republic. We buy equipment which is 3x more expensive than market value. Nobody cares because it is paid from public money.

By iron I mean whatever dissolves easiest. Some metals will be very rusty after two weeks in water.

Hmm, results would be different if iron (not steel) nails would be used.

I think you would also have to verify resulting binary, compiler, libraries...

It seems more manageable to verify a few KB of assembly or C

Makes sense, I am Java/Scala guy, we have different audience

I am surprised it does not mention Psion. With better management we could had iphone 10 years earlier. Psion Series 5 has no replacement even after 19 years (keyboard, display, battery life..)

Could you post more details? I get offers from London, but not many from Berlin. Berlin has some startups, but not many big corporations.

There is also third side in this story; people who jump through hoops to get legal option to work in US. We had to fill mountains of paper work, spend thousands of dollars, wait for years...

But every illegal immigrant seems to have more rights than us.

> Conversation between two bottlenose dolphins recorded for first time

For the first time? Should not be 1950 in the title?
