Well, that's a convincing setup.

I still think that peers and media consumption could explain the development but I don't have any data to back that up.

I don't think that the study directly answers the question. Choosing role models is different from choosing toys.

If anything, the study suggests that women are equally capable of becoming engineers:

>Unlike male monkeys and like girls, female monkeys did not show any reliable preference for either toy type.

If you follow the pattern of the study, then men would reject 'female' jobs but women are interested in both 'male' and 'female' options. Women not only tuck in toys but also like playing with guns.

However, according to that article, male monkeys like to play more. You could argue that IT is all play and thus it's a better environment for men.

The question is: Who has tucked in your children? You or your wife? Children know which parent has the same sex and they like to play grown up.

Regarding the shooting and the building, are you sure that you have encouraged your daughter the same way as your sons? Have you looked your daughter into the eyes and smiled when she first tried to fight with you?

And even if you were all supportive in that development, it's still not a fair experiment. As long as your children have friends with traditional values and your children watch TV with advertisements that present pink female princesses and male worriers and builders, children are locked down into their roles.

Does this still work? Haven't they added a timeout to close open ports for security reasons after some time that is too short for human interaction?

It's the other way round. The people who are living in these houses don't have to look at them. It's the people who don't live in those houses that have to look at them.

It's an insult to society when somebody builds an ugly house and everybody else has to look at it.

Settled neighborhoods are more expensive than new ones because you can avoid living next to an ugly house.

Have you seen the Imzy submission [1]? People have argued that they failed because there was no content on their front page. Why have who chosen to require logins?

>1. No front page (for lurkers): They force users to join to be able to view content. The 90/9/1 rule is real, ESPECIALLY in the "community" space. 90% of users just want to lurk and that's just the nature of the internet. It's probably the same here on HN. 9% will participate in some ways, voting, etc. 1% will submit and comment, etc.

I thought this was silly until I read this point [1]:

>No prep. No mess. No clean up.

That's brilliant because people don't like cleaning. Cleaning regular juicers is annoying to the point that only few people use them regularly. There are enough people with money to spare that this can become a success. I haven't seen it mentioned, so let me spell it out: This is Nespresso for fruits.

The primarily resource would be datamining. Datacenters need energy and cooling. Both are available in abundance in space. Unlike any other industry, their processing material, data, doesn't have to be transported with rockets.

However, this doesn't create jobs in space, just jobs in space industries, since those datacenters are most likely fully automatized.
