Re:Teaching boys and girls separately on Tuesday March 04, 2008 @04:12AM (#128721)
One of the most charismatic persons I know was educated in a boys-only school. He's married now, but he definitely has no problems talking with women. Many boys from boy-only schools tend to hang out around girl-only schools so that actually ameliorate the effect.

I personally feel co-education is the way to go but just pointing out it's not a general rule.

Re:Ask YC: Is anyone here using GTD? on Tuesday February 26, 2008 @01:06AM (#123681)
I've incorporated GTD into my daily workflow (I use Emacs and have written a GTD module). Personally, it's worked very well for me - especially in reducing my stress levels.

The key (I've found) is to capture _everything_ in buckets. You can then process each bucket based on your energy-level/schedule.

Re:Ask YCNews: Any lady hackers using the site? on Wednesday January 23, 2008 @03:05AM (#102694)
Societal pressure has been ongoing for a long long time in favor of women being popular and practical - perhaps long enough for there to be actual evolutionary selection in favor of women who are disinterested in abstract thought v/s more people-oriented thinking.

Taking this to a logical (although politically incorrect) conclusion - women would just not be as equipped as men (in the general case) to do stuff like hacking.
