does that mean no Stack Exchange?

Twitter users are some of the most engaged - compulsive, even - users out there. Is charging money to have an account really out of the question?

why do you need to compare across industries, exactly? even if we found the same % in every industry we'd still need to take action.

"All channels were blacked-out except for one; Usenet, which is the grandfather of chat-rooms and is capable or [sic] surviving without the Internet."

Do they mean Usenet doesn't require IP to work? And did that matter here? Would actually be fascinating if some alternative federated server comms played a pivotal role, but more likely this is careless writing.

Why not use something like display-contents:flex instead?

Why

foo(X) -> foo1(X).

foo1(bar) -> void; foo1(_Else) -> undefined.

rather than just

foo(bar) -> void; foo (_Else) -> undefined.

?

Not sure Twitter agrees with you, since they're collaborating with Google* et al on the Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) project - which can be thought of as an open, web-based alternative to Instant Articles.

That's the clearest, most concise explanation I've seen for how different infinite sets can have different cardinalities. Thanks!

they also did a great Hounds of Love cover

AMP pages can also only use Javascript as part of web components that have been added to the open source AMP project.

Who decides which laws companies need to respect?

Hey, I have an idea, how about voters.

You make an excellent argument for a carbon tax.

thanks for this, fascinating

i see what you did there

Yeah this is it I think. If I can restate more simply for the 3-door case:

You pick. The doors are now in two groups: your door (1/3 chance) and the other two doors (2/3 chance).

The host picks. The second group is now reduced to a single door, still with 2/3 chance.

Now you decide - stick with the door with 1/3 chance, or switch to the door with 2/3 chance?

Can we also accept that the "those ignorant savages could never have accomplished this" subtext is ludicrous?

Apart from a $10 settlement check, what's likely to happen to grandfathered unlimited / unthrottled plans?

even if that's true, relative CTRs for different notifications will still be meaningful

I wish this comment was higher up.

there's a huge Sapir-Whorf bias in a lot of philosophy, critical theory and social science which I totally don't get.

can someone please check out

and report back. i'm curious but afraid.

So, anecdotal. Got it.

But let's say we accept it. We still need data on the "relative drama" of male-dominated industries. And considering this includes industries like finance, law and policing, I think you might be surprised what the answer turns out to be.

"More women work in Fashion and marketing, which have generally more dramatic environments."

Do you have data on this?

Robin's logic only works if you think the existing distribution of wealth is equitable. If you think unjust systems and behavior led to the current distribution, you would want to limit the extent to which wealth imbalance impacts the consumption of goods you consider essential.

Pretend for the moment we're in some crazy mirror world where women are frequently mistreated, in ways that many well-meaning men don't see. In this world, it makes sense for a woman to lecture those well-meaning men about empathy - to ask them not to tell women what to feel - because they're just missing some basic information.

good lord, why don't the camera companies publish specs?

Yeah for what it's worth I'm playing more amazing indie games than ever - Monument Valley and Nidhogg two recent faves.

Am I the only person who thinks the body text on the shrunken preview cards looks terrible?

edit: was reacting to "meticulous attention to detail in the text rendering"

That's the first thing I thought of!

For the lazy, the linked paper (which is very famous) shows a significant jump in hiring women after orchestras started conducting blind auditions.
