As keybase is an invite only alpha system right now this flagged in my mind as a decently disguised advert. Seems interesting but can you really require someone to have a profile on an invite only system?

Anything that can prove that you are a adequate for lobste.rs community and not a troll will do. Keybase offers a quick way to identify someone. I know it's not perfect, but my time is limited. However, feel free to drop an email and that I'll see what I can do.

ps. I'm not affiliated with 'keybase' in any way.

>Keybase offers a quick way to identify someone.

Could someone please explain this statement? I know Keybase is a way for people to publish public keys, but is there any cost for a troll to create an account on Keybase with a pseudonym? Does creating a Keybase account require a lot of un-automatable steps or a waiting period or something?

Fair enough, like I say it just flagged up being as keybase is in invite-only alpha. My mistake!

Looks interesting, and an invite would be nice :) Unfortunately I have so far not seen the need to do anything with keybase.io - that is not an official requirement, is it?

This looks interesting. Can anyone send me an invite

Could you kindly send me an invitation? I'm on Twitter as @enedil1

I was going to offer an invitation, but I don't know you, and I cannot get enough information about you to ascertain that you are not going to be an unpleasant fellow.

How about this: tell me what you think about women in science and technology. That is an important question to me.

Ok. I'll try to describe my point of view as detailed as I can - you shall know I'm not an Anglo-saxon, but a Pole. So, coming to the real question:

Looking at women and science - I know some great woman that were succesful in science. I can note one. I don't know if she would be pleased, so I'll refer to her only with name. So, her name is Zosia. She is going to represent Poland at International Olympiad of Astronomy and Astrophysics. She is also a very timid person. And what I want to say - I really like working with her. Not to say I'm an astronome (cause I'm not), but every single piece of work in class is really enyoing. And only because of her traits of charactere and knowledge. What was that example for? To point out that working in science with women is not really different that work with men who are on some intellectual level that I can accept.

I must say, that women in technology are a rare fration of the spectrum (at least in Poland). Since I'm 17, I have not really worked in a real environment full of various people. However, what I can thing of this affair is that being to work well is working without looking at gender of co-workers.

Maybe, if you'd like to ask me some others questions, I could answer. I really like issues from cognitive theory, formal logic and pure Maths.

Cheers! And I hope you can believe I'm a human being!

Good enough for me. I'll send you an invite shortly. Send me your email address to [email protected]

I lolled. You can't be serious, right?

No, I am absolutely serious. If you're going to be an asshole about women, I don't want you in Lobsters. We already have enough of those elsewhere.
