The web link no longer is effective for me, for NYTimes articles. Neither is any other thing I used to do, like visiting in FireFix focus.
Every day there seems to be several NYTimes articles on the front page of HN.
Am I missing how to access them, or does everyone somehow have a subscription, or is this astroturfing, or are lots of people upvoting something without reading it?
With all possible respect, I am frequently left wondering how most of Hacker News expects journalists to survive.
Everyone seems to view both ads and paywalls with disdain. Well, you need to have at least one or the other, unless the publication is able to sustain themselves on donations. The one other possibility is sponsored content, which degrades journalistic integrity.
(I recognize it’s incorrect to see HN—or any community—as a hivemind, but the attitude I describe certainly exists among a substantial portion of users here.)
> Compiled by Ms. Lu and several other researchers at the Allen Institute, the study is in line with similar research published by academics in Australia and Canada. While gender parity is relatively near in many of the life sciences, these studies showed, it remains at least a century away in physics and mathematics.
If 40 years of privilege and majority status hasn't closed the gap -- from 1978 to present, when women earned the majority of degrees and received the overwhelming majority of sex-based funding -- then perhaps biology simply doesn't align with their world view, and no amount of (non-horrific) social engineering will change that.
Institutional sexism (or racism) isn't the solution to our problems, and it's obnoxious that the NYT frequently advocates for more of it.
The gender gap is an IQ spread difference. Search "iq sexes" and look at the graphs. The average is the same (in most studies), but there are far more extremely dumb males and far more extremely intelligent males than females. By at least 10 to 1. This is also born out in the sciences, chess and other such forms of IQ type intelligence.
Females gain in social skills, with brain scans showing that the female brain is geared towards the social. We all know that there are far more awkward boys than awkward girls.
Here's a left-leaning newspaper reporting on that:
Don't forget to downvote me for telling you the truth.
After you've refused to believe that, search for "iq countries" and take in to mind two facts: that twin studies have proven that this is not environment or food, and that the US army would not accept candidates of an IQ of less than 83 however desperate they were. And now you also know why there is a diversity gap.
Take the red pill, and invest your money in businesses that don't dabble in fanciful equality dogmas.
I wonder if people will continue to try to get rid of the gender gap in computer science, if at some point it has been around and been stable for 100 years.
