There is always an issue with that kind of gap. I work in IT (AD), and I've met too many people who were good but not good enough to be helpful, creating resentment. And it can be predicted easily. I ask for help, and the guy looks at the problem and asks me to solve it so he can work on it 😅 So, I explain that the crux of the job IS solving the problem. Then, some fight ensues where the guy mostly says, "But I never learned how to do it." I replied that I didn't either. Then I have to solve the problem, and the guy returns with, "You see, you knew. If you didn't learn how to solve this, you wouldn't be able to do it". From then on, everything you can say is insulting one way or another, as it boils down to "I am better than you at this." So, you try to say that you've some experience, that you were lucky. But it happens that you have an insane amount of experience on many topics and an insane amount of luck. Then people start to realize you are much better than them at the job but don't want to admit it. And that fosters an awful environment. Then, you naturally pick the most challenging problems so others can solve the easier ones. In an ideal world, people are happy (to each to his capabilities). In the real world, everyone struggles. You too. The big difference is that you've no support, and others look up to you for help. So, you start helping by removing roadblocks. Until you reach the point where you are not doing your job as you should. So, you begin denying some requests. People are surprised and ask, "Why don't you help me for 5 minutes, because without you, it will take me hours?". And you've to explain that you are solving problems that are way more difficult and need to be solved. And when you're giving 5 minutes here and there, you're not doing your job. And there is nobody that can help. And then, they feel insulted and reply aggressively. That's why it's best to have teams where employees are homogenous regarding problem-solving skills. Too great of a difference and resentment will install. One way around that is to have clear rules about who does what and provide time for support while ensuring everyone understands it's a privilege to get that help.

Il a aussi besoin de montrer la différence entre laisser parler et débattre. Les gens ne faisaient pas vraiment la différence. Et de toutes façons, les gens disaient de la merde, il ne faisait que le relever (des deux côtés) et la gauche s'énervait à chaque fois. À droite, ça rigolait plus souvent en morde "ah merde, c'est vrai" avant d'affiner ce qui venait d'être dit. Je connais peu de journalistes qui n'auraient pas fait semblant que l'argument du côté auquel il est assigné soit béton... Le plus rigolo: - oui, mais vous choisissez exprès des gens qui parlent mal - vous pouvez vous exprimer aussi - sale facho! 😂

Pourquoi les musulmans ont peur *seulement* depuis Trappes ? Pourquoi ils n'avaient pas peur malgré les vagues d'attentats islamistes dont "les musulmans sont les premières victimes" ?

It is fair. They use the same bytecode and targetted intoroperability, not "based on". They avoid issues found in Scala, which is great.

And equals sucks, because you've to check for null... Kotlin solves that and you can still call equals if required.

Explain how men can do the same work in much less time. Exain how single men do less work for the same work. Single men have more free time than single women, for the same occupation. Even when men report more time at work. In other words, men are able to spare more time doing the same unpaid work. Life is mysogine 😅 If you stopped your misandrism, you would have a clearer view.

That generalisation allows to compare 26×37 and 27×36 without thinking. 27×36 is greater as the "base" product would be 26×36 and we added 1 to the smallest.

The % can be ignored. So it's comparing 21×100 vs 20×101 One is 100×20+100 Other is 100×20+20 100 is greater than 20. 21% of 100 is greater than 20% of 101. In general form, if a<b, then (a+1)×b>(b+1)xa Distributivity: ab+b>ab+a Reduction: b>a □

No, "America" comes from stripping "United State Of". When people talk about ither countries, they use country name. There is nothing more to it. Smart people are lazy and are able to deploy such constructs. Now, if you say "Mexico is in America", people will understand that you are referring to the continent. If you say "Mexicans are Americans", it depends on the context. Normal people will reject this as they will first understand USA. But if you were adamant that you use "American" for people in America, the continent, then they will agree. That's how it is. Very well understood by people in Europe for example.

Yes, it's due to culture, not "identity". Most of those you cited know what "American" mean. It's not the same tribalism and identity I was referring to. European identities are way more complex. An Italian living for some time in Belgium will say they ate Italian. A tho you shall not name here in Belgium for 3 generations will be hurt to be called Belgian. And you can trace it back to average IQ of their origine. It's the best predicator about integration, all nicely packed in a number.

It's the way men and women see work. Men see work as time being active (thinking, manipulating, watching). Women see work as time it takes from start to finish. So, when a man has to do laundry, he will clock 15 minutes. A woman will clock 4 to 6 hours. When man play with kids, it's not work. When a woman does, it is. (Part of "handling kids") When a women do errands, she clock from when she leave to house to when she put away groceries. Men will under repoort massively by not counting driving and perusing the store, because they will buy one thing for them (for example). So, in the extreme, it can be a 10× difference in the reporting for the exact se tasks. On average, women will repport double the time. Also, it's normalized for men to cather for the whole familly (provide, protect). So, some tasks aren't even recorded by men and in various experiments, men had to be explained what is work due to massive under reporting. (And still under report) Women also reported all thoughts due to anxiety while men mostly discarded those, due to social norms.

In fact, I have hard time seeing the issue there. Besides the general issue that it is a graph of course. It's a bus, buses are easy. Easier than things crossing randomly.

I chose the one just making friction, because other groups would be way more vocal for doing more than "friction" 😂

It boils down to that
Yes, a tribal thing. Mostly something that appeals to those of lesser thinking. We can observe that under 100, identities are much more important than other factors, like security and even freedom. This was replicated across continents. It also explain why the USA and western Europe have been too open to immigration and laxist. They simply applied universal rules. It's much harder to be seen as a Brazillian when migrating to Brazil than as an Amrican or Belgian when migrating to USA or Belgium. It also create problems in the USA and western countries, because everyone has the local papers, but there is an assymetry on how others are treated. Brazilian will treat fellow Amercan/Belgian as non Brazillian and American/Belgians will treat Brazillian as fellow Amercians/Belgians. Note that Brazillians aren't a huge issue, it just creates frictions here and there. Other groups one shall not name are much more of an issue. But that's the very same mechanism.
